A DISTINGUISHED UES
Canon De Becker Of Belgium Visiting
Rev. Father De Siere.

Rev. Father De Siere of st. Patrick's
church has a distinguished guest in the
person of Canon ]. de Becker, dean of
the American college at Lourain, Bel
GUM, who is making a tom of the
United States. He arrived in Butte last
evening from Helena, where for a few
days he was the guest of Father AIKEN
at Bishop Brondel's house. Canon de
Becker is principally known in America
through the c%anonical works OF which
he lis the author that are in wide use
among the priests of this country.
The prelate says he is pleased with
everything he has so far seen in Amer
lea, except the cold weather. He has
met many of the pupils of the American
college in Belgium during his travels in
the United States. and all speak in en-
thusiastic terms of the rapid develop
ment of the varied resources of this
country.
Belgium is less than one-twelfth as
large as your state" said Father De
Siere's guest, but it has a population
of 100000 souls. I myself have lived
to see the population increase by 3,OO0,-
600 persons. Just think of it. If Mon-'
tam We're as crowded in proportion to
area as is Belgium, it would have a
population of about ST. 200, 900 people,
more than the present population of
our whole vast country"
Speaking of the varied and enormous
of America, Canon de Becker
said that the day must surely come
when they Will all be developed to the
Utmost, and that when thai day arrives
this will be the grandest country on the

"WHY SMITH LEFT HOME"

why Smith Left Home" is one of the
cleyerest farces upon the stage today.

dramatic personnel. It includes no in
cursions into questionable flats or hotels

lent. One new type bound to be repro

Guggenheim. who falls in love with a

as wise as the chap in princess Alina,"
who chases a photograph around the
world. The husband, John Smith, who
finally leaves home, is a novelty in u
way, for he is the central figure, yet Is
not the husband in the regular fare,
who goes off on a lark and her repents
in three acts; in fact, this husband is
good and loves his wife. Smith his
troubles will be presented to Butte the

Whenever cod-liycr oil is mentioned.
many people think at once of con
sumption, as if this was the only dis.
ease to which this valuable remedy
was adapted. Perhaps this IS moi
strange when we consider the fact that
cod-liyer oil stands ont rs the most
prominent remedy in this terrible af-
lection. In fact. as water quenches
the thirst, and rs fire gives warmth, so
does cod-liyer oil bring health and
prosperity to those just beginning TO
fade from serious lung trouble.
or late years, however, it has been
known that consumption is caused by
a germ. II is also known that cod
liver oil does not kill this germ. And
there is also the fact that this same
oil will cure consumption in its early
stages. If it does not kin the germ Of
the dis se, how does it affect a cure
This is easily explained. Cod-liver
oil has wonderful power to build up
and invigorate the whole body. When
the body is in this prosperous eondi-
ton, it can take care OF the germs OF
consumption; that is, it destroys tho
germs, and thus removes the cause OF
the disease. For this reason cod-liver
oil is called a powerful tonic and re
constructive; while it is also knowa

TAKING WATER.
How It Is Done While Engines &c
At Full Speed.

How It Is Done While Engines &c
At Full Speed.
On EIany of the railroads Il Is ne
longer Necessary for a train to top to
allow the engineer to replenisA his boil
ers with water. AL travellers have now
become accustomed to seeing the mar
row troughs, 1900 to 1,400 feet long, at
various dead level points along the
road, and they know that the strip of
water that 1t contains Is scooped up by
the engine as 1t speeds over the tracks.
But people from foreign countries Of
ten ask questions about the water be-
tween the tracks and marvel when
they hear the story about drinking"
the engine on the ny.
What seems a marvellous mechanic
contrivance is an extremely simple
thing. A pipe with scope end is fas-
tened to the tender. 1t is C-shaped
with the top end pointing into the wa
ter tank and the bottom curled under
the body of the tender. By series
of levers this end may be dropped I'M
I'll it reaches the level Of the ties.
When the engine reaches the trough
the fireman drops the scoop end, which
into the trough, into which it sinks n
distance Of about six inches or within
an inch of the bottom. 1t may wabble
slightly without doing any harm, be-
cause the trough is twenty-four inches
wide
Dropping the end is all that is done,
for the motion of the engine does the
rest The water PUSHES into the pipe
and thence into the tank with a rush
and force hat suggests to the uniniti-
ated the Il 'e of powerful engines.
1.-THE most remarkable thing about
the water-talling SCOOP" said a rail.
road official, sis the fact that the speed
Of the train must be reduced when the
water is taken on. 1t reaches the bend
in the pipe with such force that if the
train were allowed to go at It's regu-
lar speed the metal would be seriously
strained, so we reduce the speed to
about thirty miles an hour and have
the best results"
While the engine is passing over the
trough at the rate Of thirty miles an
hour it takes ND about 1000 gallons of
water-ahout as much as would he con-
tanned in 100 spirit barrels.
