HE KEPT THE SEAT.
But 1t Was Worth What the other
Mnn Paid For II.

A man who had not been to church
for a very long time, says a London eX-
change. finally hardened to the persua-
sions of his wife and decided to go. He
got the family all together, and they
started early Arriving at the church.
there were very few. people in 1t and
no pew openers at hand, so the man led
his family we'll up the aisle and took
possession of a nice pew
Just as the service was about to be-
gin pompous looking old man came
in. walked up to the door of the pew
and stood there, exhibiting evident sur
prise that it was occupied The occu-
pants moved over and offered him room
to sit down. but he declined to be seat
ed Finally the old man produced a
card and wrote upon it with pencil
81 pay for this pew.
HE gave the card to the strange oc-
cupant, who, had he been like most
people, would have at once got up and
left. But the intruder adjusted his
glasses and with a smile read the card.
Then he calmly wrote beneath it;
How much do you pay year,
To this inquiry the pompOus old gen.
tleman, still standing wrote abruptly
Ten pounds.
The stranger smiled as though he
were pleased, looked around to compare
the pew with others, admired its nice
cushions and furnishings and wrote
back:
81 don't blame you 1t is we'll worth
it.
The pompous old gentleman at that
stage collapsed into his seat.

kALISPELL BRIEFS.

William Younke is reported seri-
ously ill.,
w. p. McMannamy reported the
theft of two log chains and a double
tree which occurred Christmas eve.
Mr. McMannamy is in a frame of mind
which does not portend any good to
the thief if caught.
No clue has been found as to who
the parties or party who robbed the
Brewery saloon Christmas morning
are. The police are leaving nothing
unturned in their search for the guilty
parties and will no doubt make ar
rests if the slightest evidence is Sc
cured against any one.
Common door yard thieves got in
their work in the west side of the
city Christmas eve and as a conse-
quence many families are mourning
the loss of their family washing,
which was stolen from the clothes
lines. Don Richardson's yard was
entered and about the only things left
were few clothes pins and the tracks
of the robbers.

STOLE THE CHRISTMAS DINNER.
Lee lack Has Anything but Merry
Christmas.

When Lee Lack went to his meat
house which is located in the rear of
his cafe, Christmas morning, one
glance convinced him that the good
things which were intended as a part
of the Christmas dinner had been
stolen. Oysters, canned and bulk,
butter, mushrooms and meat had van
ished in anything but mysterious
manner.
The police officers were notified and
a part of the stolen goods were locat-
ed at the Stockholm saloon, where
they had been sold by man who
represented himself to be in the en-
ploy of provision house. Suspicion
pointed to William Kaufman and Pc
ter Booth, two men who were arrest
ed, and sentenced to serve 60 days
in the county Jail, but who had been
released on promising to leave town.
They were located and arrested, and
arraigned before Judge Sullivan yes
terday afternoon. One of the men was
positively identified as having sold
the stolen property, but owing to the
absence of important witnesses the
case was continued until this after
noon, when an effort will be made to
prove the connection of both to the
crime.
