His Own Tran.

There is young man in the pension
office who is buying a house on the
installment plan at town somewhere
between this city and Baltimore, and
his dear little wife lives out there. 1t
is his wont to come in early of morn
ing and to go out again on the $50
train when his days work is done. A
few days ago he met an old friend from
Chicago, and, yielding to the entreaties
of that old friend, he decided to spend
the evening in town. He was so afraid
wife would feel hurt if she knew that
he had deliberately planned an even
ings good time without counting her
In that he manfully resolved to deceive
her. Accordingly as he came away
from the office he went to a telegraph
office and sent this message to her:
"Unavoidably detained. Missed $50
train Will be out later"
1t was a great deal later when he
reached his happy home. Wife met
him at the door, and there was look
in her eye that every married man
learns to know and instinctively to
dread.
"Did you get my message precious"
he asked as he kissed her tenderly,
holding his breath meanwhile as pre-
cautionary measure.
"Yes, DEAR" she made answer, and
when a woman calls her husband
"dear" that way you can cut loose from
the weather bureau and prognosticate
a few things on your own hook. eyes,
dear, 1 received your message. Here
it is"
There it was, sure enough. 1t was
marked as plain as plain could be,

How Needles Are Made.

Needles are all made by machinery.
The piece of mechanism by which the
needle is manufactured takes the rough
steel wire, cuts it into proper lengths,
files the point. f1attens the head. pierces
the eye, then sharpens the tiny instru-
ment and gives it that polish familiar
to the purchaser. There is also a ma.
chine by which needles are counted
and placed in the papers in which they
are sold, these being afterward folded
by the same Continuance.

CAT ARRH

Catarrh has become such a common
disease that a person entirely free from
this disgusting complaint is seldom met
with. tits customary to speak of Catarrh
as nothing more serious than bad cold,
a simple Inflammation of the nose and
throat. 1t is, in fact, a complicated and
very dangerous disease; if not at first, it
very soon becomes so.
The blood is quickly contaminated by
the foul secretions, and the poison
through the general circulation is carried
to all parts of the system.
Salves, washes and sprays are unsatis-
factory and disappointing, because they
do not reach the seat of the trouble. S.
S. S. does. 1t cleanses the blood of the
poison and eliminates from the system all
catarrhal secretions, and thus cures thor

LlYERYMEN DECLARE THAT THERE is
NEED FOR A HUMANE SOCIETY HERE,

J. R. Reed, the South Main street liv-
eryman, is of the opinion that Butte
should have a society for the prevention
of cruelty to animals, especially horses,
and in his opinion he is ably seconded
by all the other liverymen of the city.
Last week Lavell Bros. lost a horse as
a result of cruelty OF the part of the man
that hired it for driving purposes, and
Mr.. Reed virtually lost two, one having
been deliberately driven to death and the
other SO badly used up in the same drive
that it will never recover. It is alleged
that the mar who hired the team remark
ed to an acquaintance before starting
from the city hat he would cover a cer-
tain distance IN that day orkil the horses,
MI. Reed say that while it is OCCASION
ally possible to get judgment for DAM
ages against those who maltreat horses
1t Is not always possible to satisfy them,
and even If many times the value of the
animals coul be recovered in each in
stance the cruelty practiced would not
be justified. With other men in his line
of business he believes that another and
more severe brand of punishment should
be meted out to the offenders, and that
about the only way to get at it would be
through the medium of a real, live hui

ed by residents of that portion of Main
street below Park and it might have
been witnessed north of Park had not a
man walking along the street stepped
the animal and thrown the two big
brutes into the gutter. They had hired
the horse to attend the funeral of a
friend. After the body had been lowered
into the grave they concluded to cele-
brate the event. Going to one of the
road house across the fiat they filled up
on bad whisky n started back to town
with the horse on a dead run. Enroute
they drove the animal off a bridge and
broke it's leg, but this fact did not pre-
vent them from continuing the drive into
the city, a distance of several miles.
1t is estimated that during the last
twelve months no less than n five
livery horses have been deliberately
driven to death in this city by ~irrespons-
ible brutes; that as many more have
been killed outright through incompetent
handling as a result of too much whisky
on the part of those in temporary charge
of them, while twice as many as both
combined have been rendered unfit for
use by hard driving.
