"BuNCoED BY A KID"
A Heart to Heart Talk with Jessie
Bartlett Davis.


From the Kansas City star.
Although Jessie Bartlett Davis was
born In Illinois, she owns a big farm
In Indiana, not far from Chicago, ana
only twenty miles from the Wabash
river. Her husband, Mr.. Will Davis,
the theatrical manager, Is q native OF
Indiana, and SO is her 19-year- son.
The great contralto herself is Hoosier
enough to have wept once upon hear
ing the popular song, ION the Banks
Of the Wabash" The weeping hap
pened down In Texas. near Waco,
year or SO ago.
II was in train wreck" said Mrs.
Davis. land I'll never forget how 1t
scared me. The engineer of our train
had run his engine square into the
rear end Of another train thought
Of course, that was killed. or IL not
killed, at least fatally injured. And
thought about my teeth. Oh. my
teeth! I am always afraid that some
thing Is going to happen to them.
need my teeth in singing. you know.
(By the way, Jessie Bartlett Davis
has very even and beautiful teetho
Nobody in our car was hurt and
everybody laughed at my fears. The
car stood on the siding for long
while, and pretty soon in came a little
boy and began to sing. I had never
heard the song before, but 1t was
about Longing to see my mother in
the doorway and the Wabash the
dear old Wabash / broke down and
cried. And after that I called the lit
tie boy to me and had him sit down in
the seat beside me. And we had
long talk. l talked good to him, and
I thought to myself that he would
grow up and be a better man because
of the talk I had given him. | like to
talk to people that way. l am apt to
stop in the street and talk to drunken
men in the fearful stage and try to
reform them, but I always get the
worst Of 1t.
After I had finished my long talk
with the little boy I felt better. and I
guess he did, too, because I emptied
out my whole purse into his hands.
When the child left the car I was in
sort Of glow Of Righteousness. Barna-
by and Mcdonald and others of the
Bostonian company, who We're in the
car. laughed at me. but l didn't care.
I knew that I had started one life
right.
Pretty soon I heard boyish voice
outside saying:
oh, kids. look In the winder.
That's her; look at her. Say. she was
easy. Look at my money. Oh. it was
a cinch! I wish I'd known another
song: cud have got as much more.
IT looked out of the window. 1t was

MIR. MANTLE'S INTERVIEW,

coinage, II separated from other vital
questions, would carry IN this state.

serted silver and that he will this year
act with the republicans. As to the
first charge, 1t IL well known that MI.
Mantle left the republican party four
years ago solely on account Of silver,
but, now that the democrats IRE deter.
mined to relegate that issue TO the rear,
aud will fight the coming campaign Oh

whole country IN general, MIR. Mantle

has been SO long deceived by the demo.

Is PRACTICALLY DEAD.

A Washington dispatch published IN
another column conveys the intelligence
that the Foster land leusing bill il
practically dead, its author declaring
that he will not push the measure If
it meets with the opposition Of the
people. 1t certainly does meet with
the opposition Of the people Of the Ell.
tire west, and remonstrahces by the
yard are said to be arriving in Wash.
ington by every mail, so it can be taken
for granted that the Foster bill il dis.
posed Of.
The proposition to lease the public
lands Of the west, however, may come
up in congress in another form, and it
is we'll for the people to fiji up the re.
m~onstrances now being circulated and
forward them to their representatives
at Washington. There is to be a meet.
ing Of western governors at Salt Lake
City on the 18th Of April, the object Of
which il to ask congress to transfer all
unoccupied public land to the states in
which it is located. At first glance,
this looks as if it would be a good
thing for the west, but it has been in.
timated that the legislatures would
lease the lands, if the various states Of
the west should acquire them, although
If such a move were made it could be
dealt with much more effectively than
q national movement. or a law enacted
by congress in that direction.
At any rate, the people will be glad
to learn that the Foster bill is out of
the way and they will see to it that
any kindred proportion meets with the
same fate if their protests will avail.

WHY NOT AT BILLINGS?

In another column will be noticed a
news item calling a meeting Of the re.
publican state central committee, tc be
held in Helena OIL the 18th Of this
month. The object of the meeting il
to fix the time and place for holding
the two state conventions-the one to
elect delegates to the national conven.
ton, aud the one to nominate a state
ticket.
Billings ought to have Il Of these
conventions. and The Gazette desires
to call the attention Of the committee
to the fact that this city is ready and
anxious to entertain the delegates.
Billings is we'll equipped with hotel
facilities, has a fine opera house for II
convention hall, this city is probably
more talked about than any other town
in the state on account Of its rapid
growth and general prosperity, and the
delegates, we believe, would prefer to
have the regular state convention,
which will prbably convene in August
or September, held in this city.
Besides, eastern Montana, which Is
naturally a republican, stronghold, IL
entitled to the honor Of entertaining a
republican state convention, and We
assure the committee. if the claims Of
Billings are favorably considered. that
the delegates will not regret their visit
to this beautiful little city. 0 will
the republican party suffer in conse.
quence.
