HIS TREASURE.
An Incident OF City Life That shows
Up N Masculine Falling That
Is Universal.

Vanity seems to spring eternal in the mas.
culine breast, and the less it has to feed upon
the more it thrives, apparently.
day, says the Baltimore News, a tramp
OF high degree in vagrancy stopped before
the window of house at which two young
women were standing. He was tattered and
torn and melancholy looking to such an ex-
tent that he aroused feeling of deep sym.
pathy in the hearts of the maidens who
looked down upon him as he stood gazing
intently at some object he held in his hand.
Il wonder what he has, said the senti-
mental one of the two, as she peered down
on him. "a lock Of some woman's hair,
shouldn't wonder"
More likely coin he's found; he looks
pleased, rejoined the practical one, scot.

would reveal the object to her.
But It was neither, they discovered. II

man was surveying his features with salts

with his very rugged physiognomy.
Which shows, as was said at the beginning

The extinction Of the lobster Is

MORMONS ALARM CANADA.
The Fear Is Expressed That The,
May Control Parts of the
Dominion.

Some people in Canada are becoming
seriously alarmed at the rapid spread
of Mormonism in parts of the Domin.
ion, especially in the northwest The
Mormons themselves assert that within
the last year they have brought in
more than 1000 emigrants from Utah
alone. If this movement is continued.
says the New York Sun, Canadian pub.
lie men fear that the Mormons will
shortly control large districts of the
country. As the bulk of the people
in southern Alberta have come from
Utah. and as the Mormons have a thor.
ough organization, il is dawning upon
the country that they may become o
serious menace to the state. especially
as there is suspicion that polygamy
is practiced secretly by them. Some
of the elders in Alberta assert that
polygamy is one of the chief privileges
of the communion. and il is stated that
in some cases the privilege has been
he'd out as a bait TO attract converts.
Consequently the attention OF the gov
ernment of the Dominion is being
called TO these Mormon colonies.
Outside of Alberta and the other
northwest provinces of Canada, the
Mormons say they have no less than
10000 members in the province of
Ontario. The Mormon missionaries en-
deayor to obtain a footing in new cen
ters by keeping the peculiar doctrines
of the Mormon church very much in the
background until they gain the con
fidence of their converts. They use
every effort in their power to proselyt-
ize. They keep close watch over their
young people, especially those who go
away from home. Some of the girls in
the northwest go into towns of south
ern Alberta and get employment, but
they are not allowed to stay very long.
The church sends for them to come
home again, lest the influences of Chris
tian teaching should ALLEVIATE them
from their own faith.
In the Canadian northwest the Nor
mons are following the same course of
communism and segregation which has
made them power in Utah. About
ten years ago a small body of them
formed a settlement. on Lees creek.
about 50 miles from Lethbridge and As
miles from Mcleod. From that small
beginning has grown the large and
thriving community known as ''the
state of Zion in Alberta Of the Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. .
just as in Utah they have their town
sites with central church and dance
hall, surrounding wards. church coun-
ell. local bishops. elders, high coun-
ellis, etc. They are already aceumulat-
ing considerable wealth. are doing all
in their power to get rid of all their
Gentle neighbors, are carrying on a
most active propaganda and are send
ing out missionaries TO all parts of the
country.
As an instance of what an enterpris-
ing corporation the Mormon church in
Canada is, it may be mentioned that
when recently a ditch 30 miles long
had TO be dug for irrigation purposes
for the Alberta Irrigation company. the
Mormon church took the contract for
digging it and offered to take paw in
land. So much attention is attracted
to the matter by the phenomenal in
crease of these people that. according
TO the politicians the federa! aa:hori-
ties will have to take some action.

AND OLD TIMER.

r.. f. Maloney of the west end is en-
joying a visit from his mother, Mrs.
Mary Maloney of Madison county, who
on her trip to Anaconda rode on the ears
for the first time in 36 years. Mrs. Ma
loney came to Montana in 1864 in COM
pany with Mrs. Hugh DAILY of Helena,
(now deceassd) and others. The last
time she rode on the ears was a few years
previous on a trip from Buffalo to ST.
Louis. At the latter place they tool
the boat for ii point up the Missouri near
where Kansas City 0 stands and
crossed the plains to Pixies Peak coming
from there to Montana. She tells an
interesting story about the emigrant
trains of tn eearly days which 'traversed
what was then a wilderness. Her COM
parison of the rid on the improved rail-
way cars of to-day as compared with
an emigrant wagon of 3 6years ago is an
interesting one. She stopped a day at
Butte, but could not get accustomed to
the smoke. There she saw electric cars
for the first time and many other mod
ern improvements never dreamed OF
when she came to Montana. She looks
upon Anaconda as an ideal place and
while she has spent many happy days in
Madison county she would like to live
in Anaconda. She will remain several
