ONCE ON A TIME.

Her pater came one day in gleo
And told his lovely daughter
That with his ducats ample he
a title proud had bought her
lie was a bit too old. twas true
Had gout and indigestion;
But having a station high, hed do
In spite of brain congestion.
Gayly the maiden laughed, and then
She startled her good pater
BY telling him firmly that with men
Like that he ne'er could mate her;
"Titles are naught to me" she cried,
"'Tis loyal love I crave, Sir;
And TO dear Jack. whate'er betide,
My heart freely gave, Sir"
Swiftly she sailed to be Jacks vile;
cat least, / heara it stated
Gladly her bright and happy life
To love she consecrated;
When did this happen? You PROFOUND
A query old and hoary;
tlction with truth do not confound
This is a fairy story.

Once on time, $50 I've been told)
There lived a rich mans daughter
Who sailed away 10 countries ole
That lie across the water;
Leaving behind her, all forlorn,
A heart with sorrow laden
An impecmious heart, high-born-
That loved this charming maiden.
Gayly she danced through foreign lands
And right from the beginning
Was followed by large, adoring bands
OF peers, bent on her winning;
Marquis and Duke and Count and Earl
Devotedly were trailing,
Eager to land this golden girl
And silence tradesmen's wailing.
Smiling on one and all she went,
Nor seemed to want their wooing.
Merely on her own pleasure bent,
While famous ruins viewing;
Back in her native land, she knew,
A wealth Of real devotion
Was waiting for her, so loyal, true,
To come from DER the ocean.

A Disastrous Sortie.

LONDON, Jan. 5.-The War Office
has received, through General Fores-
tier-Walker at Cape Town, the follow
ing dispatch from Colonel Baden-POw-
ell. dated Mafeking. December 26th:
I'VE attacked one of the enemy's
works this morning, endeavoring to
push back the Gordon northward. Our
force consisted of three guns, two
squadrOns of the PTotectoTate Regi-
ment, one of the Bechuanaland Rifles
armored train, etc. The enemy had
strengthened their works during the
night and doubled the garrison since
yesterdays reconnaissance.
Nevertheless, our attack was car
ried out and pressed home with the
greatest possible gallantry and steadi-
ness under a very heavy fire. But all
efforts to gain the interior failed, the
fort being practically impregnahle. Our
attack only withdrew after six Of our
officers and a large number of men
had been nit. Nothing could have
exceeded the courage and dash dis
played. The general situation remains
unchanged and the health and spirits
of the garrison are very satisfactory.

Pitchers Barren Raid.

LONDON, Jan. 5.-The latest news
Of Colonel Pitchers raid shows that
some of the first accounts consider
ably exaggerated its effect on the Beers
and their sympathizers. While it is
true he successfully drove a couple of
hundred rebels from Sunnyside, killing
or wounding thirty and capturing for
ty-three, Colonel Pitchers immediate
evacuation Of Douglas seems to prove
that he had information that there was
a sufficient number of Beers in the
neighborhood to make his position un-
safe. There is reason to believe that
only the dispatch of the cavalry bril-
gade from the Modder river prevented
the force of 600 men sent by General
Cronje from attacking Colonel Pitcher Is
column, and as soon as the cavalry re-
turned to the Modder river General
CrOnje's troops reoccupied Sunnyside.

A Lop-EARED CusPIDoRE.

Butte Times: 2. A. O'Farrell has
resorted to attacking Hon. Lee Man
tie and Senator Thos. H. Carter.
This lop-eared cuspidore is in the
pay and hire of the men who are
trying to control the judiciary and
yindicate convicted criminal. He
is earning his filthy gold by traduc-
ing, defaming and abusing all who
are not slaves to the damnable out
rage they are trying to perpetrate on
the STATE of Montana
The Times is not the mouthpiece
of Senator Carter, neither is it the
mouthpiece of Mr.. Mantle; but we
are prompt to fling the lie right back
in the teeth of this mentally deform-
ed idiot for his slanderous attack on
the two men who could not be in
duced to use the unprincipled liar
even as cuspidore, as a gentleman
in Spokane did for almost the same
kind o. an offense.

TO REDEEM MONTANA.

by far the gravest responsibility
now resting upon the people of Mon
tana, says the Butte Inter Mountain,
is the matter of the redemption of
the states good name from the mud
and mire of democratic politics.
Once the proudest commonwealth
in the union, it has now sunk SO low
that there are none to do ii rever-
ence.
The people Of the state well know
to what extent the warning factions
OF democracy are responsible for the
reputation of Montana throughout
the world. The state administration
has become a reproach to the party
and tho party itself has become re-
proach to the state.
Every consideration of patriotism
demands that the state democracy be
defeated at the polls next fall. 1t is
idle to make distinctions between
the factions. They are both made
up of democrats; they are both re-
sponsible for the state administration
and they will both be responsible for
a worse one if given another lease of
power.
The rescue of the states good
name is an imperative duty requiring
every citizen to do his share. 1t can
only be accomplished by the repub-
lican party. The people of the
country at large are watching and
waiting for the verdict which Mon
tana will give at the polls at the
coming election, in case wherein
the cause of honest politics Is on tri-
al for it's life.
The republican party Of Montana
is the sole hope of the people who
favor the political regeneration of
the state. With unity of action and
under wise leadership the good name
of Montana can be redeemed.

CONSTITUTIONAL KICKERs.

Montana democrats will meet in
Helena next Wednesday to kick on
the constitution, to complain of ex
isting conditions, to resolve against
progress in every form, and to move
for no hours of labor and twenty
four hours of pay.
They will vilify the republicans,
who during the last four years have
not, in Montana politics, had one
word to say. They will shed tears
as large as goose eggs over the de-
plorably oppressed condition of the
working man, and then they will
proceed to fuse with populists, labor
party, plohibitionists and any other
demagogic side show that happens
to be exhibiting. The basis of the
fusion, which is inevitable, will be
.loaves and fishes, and is to lie
loaves to | sardine; and the labor
party will be permitted to furnish
the sardine.
