HAS GONE

Rose Bennett, a West From street
courtesan, was yesterday afternoon TAX
en- from her resort to the county Jail in
dicating strong symptoms of insanity.
The woman has been acting strangely for
the past week, and on receiving notice OF
this fact, officers went to her place dur
the afternoon, and found her kneel-
ing at the side of her bed in such an alb
s,tracted manner hat they could not at
tract her attention by talking. She was
without difficulty taken to the Jail and
will be tried today, and probably commit
ted to the Warm Springs hospital.
The Bennett woman has a notorious
record in Montana. She came to Mis-
soula several years ago direct from the
Deer Lodge penitentiary, from where she
was pardoned at the completion of four
of a seven year sentence for murder. her
victim being a male companion in Ana
conda, where she then resided.

BELONGS TO UNCLE SAM.

Though he has resided in Great Britain
since 1880, Bret Harte, whose six.y-f1rst
birthday occurred on Aug. %, will al
ways pe known as an American author.
He was Dorn in New York state, and his
varied early career on the Pacific coast,
to which he went at the age Of IS, is
well known. 1t was while he was a coln1
positor that Bret Harte turned his
thoughts in a literary direction, and he
used to compos the matter and SCI IL up
in type at one and the same time! In
1868 the Heather Chinee'' appeared, and
from that same year does Mr.. Harte's
fame date. At that period the author
was secretary of the United States mint
at San Francisco, and it was IN onnac-
ton with that establishment hat an Old
friend, c. w. Stoddard. toll an inter-
esting story recently. "Once," he says,

task for a bit of careless work, then I'M

It is so natural nat we fall asleep
Like tired children when the day Is
done,
That I would question why the living
weep
When death has kissed the laughing
lips of one.
We do not sigh when golden skies have
donned
The purple shadows and the gray of
night,
Because We know the morning lies be-
And we must wait a little while for
light.
So when, grown weary with the care and
strife,
Our loved ones find in sleep the peace
they crave,
We should not weep, but learn to count
this life
A prelude to the n beyond the grave
And thus be happy for them, not dis
tressed,
But lift our hearts with love to God,
and smile,
And we anon, like tired ones, will rest,
If we will hope and wait-a little while.
