A TACrLESS CANDIDATE.
If He HaA Only Understood-but lie
Couldn't.


There II woman in Detroit who
prides herself upon being a politician
not merely as an observer and student,
but as a worker and rustler, says the
Detroit Free Press. She reads the pa
pers closely, attends meetings and nev-
er talks with men without leading them
to her fav vorite subject of discourse.
There Is quiet understanding among
those who know her best that her ac-
tual knowledge could be expressed in
far less language than she uses, that
her judgment is sadly warped by par
tisanship and that she is utterly unsafe
as a receptacle for state secrets.
81 hear that you talk of running for
the congressional nomination." she an
nounced to a handsome caller one
night. Pm so delighted. You're just
the kind of u candidate we need. You're
orthodox on all the issues, and you're
just the kind of a man we can work
for among the women. Oh, they count!
Mans the head of the family, but wo-
mans the neck, turning the head at

course 1t must be kept a profound Sc
cret until we're ready to spring the
surprise, but we can be working under
ground, like moles Do you mean to

He looked at his watch, looked at
the ceiling and then said deliberately
that he would give her an answer the
next evening, and all her persuasive
powers failed to obtain anything more
satisfactory. Twenty-four hours later
he was with her again and frankly ad-
mitted his congressional ambition. Just
as frankly be confessed that he might
have told her the night before but
thought it best not to.
why do you tell me tonight, then?"
Again he looked at his watch, looked
at the ceiling and had the grace to
blush while he said, at will all be in
the paper tomorrow morning, anyhow"
That anyhow" settled it. She founc-
ed up In way that served notice on
him to leave and said she would beat

How They Eat.

The editor of Life and Beauty,
British organ on hygiene and diet, sue
ceeded in eliciting from a few popular
writers replies on the subject Of diet
which they find most conducive to
good work.
Hall Caire wrote: 81 am afraid
have no theories on the subject of diet.
If l knew anything that would be
worth telling, would avail myself of
its advantages, being a constant mar
tyr to all the troubles that attend diet"

epigrammatic, Unfortunately | have

The Soldier nnd Obedience.

Once, when | was military attache in
Paris, | was holding a conversation
with Gambetta, and he said to me, "In
these days there are only two things
which a soldier need know; he must
know how to march, and he must know
how to shoot"
| said, Il beg your pardon, eXcellen-
cy, there is third thing, which you
have forgotten"
what is thaty said he.
And | replied, "He must know how
to obey"
1t is not enough to know how TO
march, it is not enough to know how to
shoot; there must in addition be fire
discipline, and that fire discipline
comes of the soldiers knowing how TO
obey-to obey not merely with blind
obedience, but with an obedience
which comes from faith, faith in the
officers, faith in their justice, faith in
their knowledge, faith in their skill and
faith in their being the soldiers true
friend.-Sir Henry Brackenburg.

Montana Central Wreck.

In the very disastrous wreck
which occurred Monday night on
the Montana Central railroad, at
Trask siding, II miles from Butte,
two persons were killed and 33 in
jured.
The train left Butte at $50 last
night and was on its way to Helena.
1t had made the climb up the CONT
mental divide in safety and was rush
ing along at top speed on compara-
lively level ground when the rails
spread, ditching the tender, baggage
car, smoker, day coach and sleeper.
The engine remained on the track.
The cars were thrown over on their
sides. and the passengers who were
not injured, or slightly so, climbed
out through the windows. Ali the
lights were distinguished and from
different portions of the wreck came
calls for help and groans and cries
of the injured.

FOR STATE TREASURER,

1t is re ported that the name of
Chas. NJ Webster of Cascade coun-
ty will be presented at the coming
state republican convention for the
Office of state treasurer. This is re-
ceived at n Neihart with expressions
of unfeigned pleasure, as there is no
man of Montana in whom intrinsic
merit and thorough worthiness are
better compounded for the office of
treasurer His ackno wledged in
tegrity and eminent fitness for the
office in no wise excel his value as
political factor, and his nomination
would be one of the strongest cards
on a strong ticket. Mr.. Webster is
we'll and favorably known through
out the state but his peculiar
strength lies in the fact of his being
strongest in those fields where he is
best known. 1t will be remembered
that i'll the race for the treasurership
four years ago he ran far ahead of
his ticket, and there is no reason
why he should not be stronger to-
day than ever before. With him on
the ticket Cascade county will feel
that her rank in the state is properly
recognized, and that the republican
majority she will roll up this fall is
we'll requited.

BOYS MESSAGE TO KRUGER.

Description of How He Received the Mis-
sion From America.
PHILADELPHIA, June 2.-The North
American had message from Pretoria.
dated May 20, describing the presenta-
ton of the message from the Philadel-
phia school boys to President Kruger.
by the American messenger boy, James
Francis Smith At one point touch
ing remark by Secretary Reitz brought
tears to President Kruger's eyes The
dispatch said in part:
In presenting the message Smith made a
manly little speech, informing President Kru.
ger Of the nature of his mission as courier OF
the school boys of Philadelphia. Secretary OF
State Reitz translated Smiths simple sen
fences as they were spoken.
Then the book from The North American
containing the narrative of the movement
that eliminated in the dispatch of the mes.
senger and the newspaper clippings express
i've of the sympathy of the people Of the
United States with the Beers cause was pre-,
scented.
President Kruger's reply was grave and
courteous. He rendered hearty thanks to the
American people and particularly to the Lib
erty lads OF Philadelphia, for their sympathy
and charged Smith to return his greetings to
the good people Of America. Then, with faith
erly kindness, he shook hands with Smith con
graduating him upon completing his long
journey in safety, and expressing the hope
that he would have equally safe return to
his distant home The entire group WAS then
photographed.

TO AID WEAK CHURCHES.
At the Reformed Presbyterian Synod, the
Conference of Missions Recommend
ed an Appropriation.

CEDARvILLE, o., June 2.-Reports Of
church boards occupied the attention of
the Reformed Presbyterian synod of
North America. The board of superin-
tendents of the theological seminary at
Allegheny City, Pa, reported the insti-
tuition in good working order. The
board of church erection reported a
number of churches helped and prepa-
rations made for the erection of several
church buildings. The board of foreign
missions reported a total expenditure of
$4S,SS9 i'll Syria and China. 1t was
stated that the missionaries and native
communicates in China had been perse-
cuted, but are holding out bravely.
The conference of missions recon-
mended an appropriation of $4,000 to
aid the weak churches in the different
presbyteries.

that the Burghers are in state Of
panic and that Pretoria is being con
trolled by vigilance committee. Lour-
emo Marques again sends the report
that President Kruger has been cap
tured.
The news blank gives rise to a suspi-
cion that the citizens committee at
Pretoria may not have been able to
carry out their plans Tor securing the
peaceful entry OF Lord Roberts and
sparing the city the horrors of re.
siege.
II the British, being two hours march
from Pretoria on Wednesday, entered
it then, or at any time prior to Friday
noon, Lord Roberts would certainly
have telegraphed this fact. Hence, it
looks as though there was Beer force
between Pretoria and Johannesburg,
These soldiers treking back toward
Pretoria, some of them fresh from the
fight with General Ian Hamilton, would
have brought new element into the
situation, and would probably override
the peace committee, taking the direc.
ton OF affairs out of their hands.
Ii this has happened, the British
may, as The Daily Chronicle says, see
some 'hard fighting before the British
flag flies over Pretoria, for even if the
Beers had only three forts standing
close together on the hills south OF
town, they would be in position to
stand a siege.
1t is reported from Amsterdam that
the best rooms at Het Haasje, one of
the principal hotels there, have been
engaged for President Kruger's occu-
pancv from June 30

WASHINGTON, June 2.-The president,

Cortelyou, secretary to the president,
visited the Catholic university. They
called at the residence of the rector,
Mgr. Cenaty, who, with Dr. Garrigan,
the vice rector. escorted them to the
Mcmahon hall, where they met the pro.
fessor and students, who greeted the
appearance of the presidential party
with applause.
The rector made a speech of welcome
to the president on his first visit to the
halls of the university, expressing the
honor the university felt at the visit,
and expressing the loyalty of Catholics,
as churchmen, to the pope.
He explained the purposes and aims
of the institution and said that it knew
no race line and no color line and that
while it was built upon the idea of a
purely graduate university for Catho-
lie priests and laymen, its doors are
open to non Catholics who may desire
to receive instruction at its hands.
President Mckinley made a pleasing
reply.
Secretary Long made'a brief address,
and then the professors and students
were presented to the president and
Secretary Long, the first to be presented
being Monsignor Mcmahon, the re.
spected founder of Mcmahon hall
ssAfter the presentation, the president
and party We're escorted by Monsignor
Conaty and DR.. Garrigan through the
different buildings, ssand were afterwards
entertained for some little time at the
Pines, the rector's house. The presi-
dent was well pleased with the visit.
