HAS A MONTHLY COUNCIL.
Anaconda, Mont, Is Happy with City
Fathers Who Meet with the
New Moon.

If a city council should reach the con-
clusion that all public business could
be cared for at one meeting in a month
the citizens of the favored municipality
would rejoice and be glad. This might
apply with force to Chicago, provided
needed work could be done in the soli-
tary assembly, says the Chronicle. But
the United States contain town where
councilmen are plenty, but who are
not SO anxious to exploit their wares
as to meet more frequently than once
in 80 days.
This city-it is a city-has many
things which go to make up a modern
city in all respects. 1t is Anaconda,
Mont. 1t is in the very middle of the
gold-bearing regions of the upper
Rockies, has a fine system of public
utilities and is up to date. But the
members of the council, or the man
who drew up the charter, thought one
meeting month would do for all prac-
tical purposes. Hence it happens that
the Anaconda papers make mention
thus:
''The December meeting of the city
council will occur on Tuesday night"
That is all there is to it, but it speaks.
II means that the man who seeks
job confrmatory of the council had
best be on hand Tuesday. Belike, if
he fail, he will be out in the cold for
yet another moon. And it wakes ex-
ceeding cold in the shadow of the Rock
les, even in Anaconda, maugre the sets
of furnaces which encircle the hills,and
city.

THE CHOPPERS" /"
One of the Most Extraordinary SUPER
stitions In the World Enter
tained by Beers.

The Boer is deeply religious, and,
moreover, so supremely egotistical that
he really believes that his people are
superior to any other in the world, says
the London Mail. The ''doppers" some
40 years ago somehow conceived the
idea that they were the descendants of
the lost tribes of Israel.
This was surely daring proposition
to advance, and as the heads of the
households declared that they were
temporarily sojourning in the wilder
ness and that during their stay they
would be smitten for their iniquities the
young Beers naturally came to regard
the English as instruments of ven
geance.
Even now there are Beers who on the
strength of the holy words 20 God, the
heathern are come into mine inher-
itance," refuse to obey the orders of the
field cornets to fight the English, not
because they are afraid, but because
they believe that the English being the
chosen instruments of vengeance it
would be an act of impiety to OPP
pose them.
The land of promise is thought by
some Beers to be in the eighborhood
of the Limpopo river. This is no doubt
one of the most extraordinary super
stitious that ever took into captivity the
human mind, but there it is, and if the
Beers at the end of the campaignShould
be willing to adopt this land as their flu
ture home Great Britain, il is thought,
would not refuse them the privilege.

DOG RUNS UP BOARD BILL.
ment for S1O5 Spent ON
His Meals.

Captain was only a dog, yet the rec
ord of his voracious appetite during
1900 days before his demise was the
point on which turned trial the other
day before Judge Kavanaugh at Chica-
go. Mrs. Fred Leonhardt satisfied a
jury that nine cents a day was a fair
estimate of the cost of feeding large
canine, SO she was awarded sos, to be
collected from the Consumers Box
Manufacturing company.
The public history of Captain dates
from night in 1895, when John Kitz-
row, Mrs. Leonhardt's father, was en-
pIoyed as watchman at the box COM
pany's factory, IS Ohio.
'And the noble Captain will aid you" F"
said the officials, passing the dog along
to the new employe.
During the vigils of that first night
Waterman John and Captain became
fast friends, and when he went home in
the morning Kltzrow took the dog
along to where his daughter kept house
for them. That was the beginning of
the 1900 days, during which Captain
lived on the best in the cupboard.
"He will eat us out of house and
home" protested Mrs. Leonhardt at
the end of week. I'VE must get an
allowance from the company"
She called upon Foreman John Nc
Glashan, to whom she told the woeful
tale of Captains voracity.
1--WE are starving that he may live"
she pleaded.
The foreman told her to feed the dog
and the company would stand the ex-
pense. Lucky words for Captain.
Nothing was too good for him from that
day. for was not the company footing
the bill? Liver and roast beef, steak
and country sausage, turkey, goose,
chicken, all were regular portions on
big Captains bill of fare. He grew fat,
strong and brave; so valiant, indeed.
that alone he put to flight three robbers
that broke into the factory. Disregard
ing numerous bullet wounds, he sank
his teeth to the bone in a thief's leg,
only letting go when weak from loss Of
blood.
-Nursed back 10 health, Captain lived
out his allotted 1900 days and passed
away. ignorant of the fame postmor-
tenn litigation would add TO his name.

BUNU AND DINIZULU.
Native Chiefs in Southern Africa OF
Whom the World May Hear
Great Deal.

There are three native chiefs in
southern Africa of whom in the near
future the world may hear good
deal-Lerothodi, the paramount chief
of the Basutos; Bunu, king" OF the
Swazis, who is only just beginning to
feel his feet" as the saying is, and
Dinizulu, the keen, clever, intelligent
and lately repatriated chief of the
Zulus, says the London Mail.
For q long time Bunu's position was
akin to that of the emperor of China
he was overweighted and overshad-
owed by the queen mother, a very de-
termined Lady, indeed, and quite u
character in her way. Bunu's position
has always been little curious, and
to this day there is a good deal of in
decision about his movements and
character. He still lets 81 dare not"
wait upon 81 would" He does not
love the Boer. Bunu, with all his
faults, is no coward, and perhaps the
time is not far distant when he will
prove himsef-aS he has not done up
to noteworthy to be the head of
race whose valor is undoubted.
Dinizulu, chief of the Zulus may be
said to be on his trial. He has only
been back a short time among his peo-
pie, from whose society he in 1888 was
banished to ST. Helena for rebelling
against British authority. This was
some four years after he had succeed
ed Cetewayo. Curiously enough, Dini-
zulu's capture was effected by a party
of Beers headed by Luka Meyer, who
is now in command of large Boer
force against the British.

a SONG OF LOVES SERVICE.

A SONG OF LOVES SEHVICEs
Whatever life may hold for me
Whate'er its wrathful thorns and rods
Tie peace of all the gentle gods
Forevermore. my love with theeJ
No stormy night enshrouds our souls:
The stars stand steadfast In the sky:
For us sweet summers bloom and die
From heart to heart no ocean rolls
The beauty of the rose-sweet spring,
With all her rainy sweets. Is ours
The red and white OF all her flowers,
Her silver streams that seaward sing.
The chalice OF the year can hold
No sweets we may not quah at Will;
Summer in song speaks to us still
And Autumn bringeth gifts of gold.
And borne by echoing winds along
We hear the music OF the spheres.
And see. through sunshine and through
Light on the golden hills of song.
What then? The world is ours-the
sky
Arches for us the rainbow-bars.
And all the pallid ghosts Of stars
Speak TO US from Eternity.
What then. of earth or realms divine
To make the sum of earthly bliss?
Dear. ills as small thing as this:
Thy hand in mine-thy hand In mine!
For what are all the joys that be,
And what Is honor-what Is fame;
Nnat though call the stars by name
And read not there thy love for me?
What were this world and worlds above
Song, and the color in the cod:
And the grouped. golden stars OF GOD,
Without the blessing of thy love?
For never shall that morning wake
To light and beauty all the land
II It find not this heart. this hand.
Sweetened by service for thy sake!
There Is no other thought than this:
Though still In thorny ways reap:
To give thy gentle eyeids sleep
To give thy lips one flower TO kiss.
The lowliest service were above
Earth's greatest deeds. II serving thee;
And only from thine eyessto me
One sweet, rewarding look Of love.
One blessing on the heights that shine;

And Bring All the Delegates Here
After Convention Work Ends.
WOULD SERENADE MCKINLEY
That Would Give an Opportunity For n
Speech That Would Pry the Campaign
Open Friends Here DO Not Know
or the Plan Coming
Tuesday.

There is possibility that Canton may
entertain the entire Republican state
convention next week. The convention
meets in Columbus to nominate a cam
didate for secretary of state and for
other state offices and some campaign
slogans are bound to be worked off.
For weeks the leaders in Washington
have been preparing a platform that
is to meet the entire approval of the
president and it is to be the ground-plan
for the platform to be adopted at Phil
adelphia when the convention meets
to nominate Mr.. Mckinley for second
term and to choose vice presidential
nominee. The Importance of the Ohio
convention in a national sense cannot
be underestimated and it is now sug-
gested to have the entire convention
that will have started the ball rolling,
come to Canton and call on the presi-
dent while he is here ostensibly to su-
perintend the repairs of his North Mar
ket street house and to again get it
ready for it's duties as the "Republi-
can Shrine"
A special from Columbus says that
the presence of the president in Canton
would be an excellent excuse to charter
a few special trains and bring the Ohio
state convention here from Columbus.
1t would not be the part of propriety
for the president of the United States
to attend a state convention but If he
could not go to the convention the con-
vention might, with propriety come to
him. 1t would not be colossal under
taking in view of what was accom-
plished in that line in 1896 and it would
give the president an opportunity to
work off a speech that would open the
campaign. The plan would be Unique
in a sense and it is conceded that it
would meet all the requirements. Once
the delegation business is started it is
thought by the party leaders that it
can be kept up.
Friends of the president here state
that they know nothing of such plan
but the president will be here and if the
convention desires to come he will be
here to receive the delegates.
President Mckinley will arrive in
Canton Tuesday morning about 10
o'clock. There will be no demonstration
as it is given out that he is coming
purely on private business. He will be
met at the train by few personal
friends, including Mr.. M. c. Barber,
whose guest he will be while in the city.
