Accounting for Misfits.

"A customer always tries to deceive
his tailor. He does not intend to, but
he does.
For instance. II often occurs that a
man with s!oping shoulders comes up to
be measured, and instead OF allowing US
TO measure him as he really is he
throws himself out of position. and then
there is trouble when he Genes 20 try on
the garment" said a smart tailor the
other day. Some men will never admit
that their shoulders need raising or
lifting as we say, and when they come
to be measured they unconsciously snrux
their shoulders. Ina CINE what We occa-
sionally get from q new customer: and
IL is incidentally true that these daceivers
are the ones who most often change from
one tailor to another as result OF
this lack OF personal frankness.
Another man throws out his ches,
when the tape is passed around and the
result IS that when the coat IS dnishe1
it naturally does not fit. and We get the

SIGN BOOT.

A noticeable survival of the pictur-
esque old fashion of hanging emblems
outside shops which dealt with the goods
to be sold within. which one may often
see hanging outside a shoemaker's shop.
Sign boots are made in two or three
standard sizes and of other sizes to or
der. They are most commonly seen gild-
ed. but signs boots are occasionally fin-
shed in some bright color, as. for in
stance. a brilliant red. 49,.
The boot signs may be bought in the
establishment Of the dealer in emblem
signs, where there are also to be found
the gilded fishes for the dealer in fish
ing tackle. the great gilded padlocks. for
the hardware dealer, and a variety or
other signs of an emblenatic character.
Besides these familiar gilded or painted
smaller boots there is occasionally seen in
front of shoe stores a giant boot, with the
foot part perhaps three or four feet In
length and the leg in proportion four. Ave
or sig feet tall.
These great boots. of which the number
used is limited. are made Of sheet iron or
tin, and painted. RI They are not kept in

self of such a party secret to drop into
oblivion with a sickening thud. 1t was
at once recognized that the Standard had
been practicing that rule of veracity right
along, and it enabled the Inter Mountain.
With an eye to the amenities of journal
ism, to point out the fact that it's contem-
porary had not been lying-as' the public
suspected-but that it had been merely
overworking the Whiteside idea of truth.
-
Still another new feature was brought
out in the testimony of Mr.. Whiteside.
namely. the statement under oath that
he had unearthed corruption in the late
capitol commission which caused the ex-
pulsion of one of it's members. That was
a lie. 1t was not a statement subject to
qualifying evidence, but a lie pure and
simple. Mr.. Whiteside knew it was a lie
when he said it, and the Standard knew
it was a lie when it protected the states

fered for evidence of this character. IN
an investigation which does not concern
the capitol commission. is that Mr..
Whiteside desired to give a practical illus
theory of veracity. when it is in good
working order.
It is not for the Inter Mountain to weigh
the merits of the evidence which Mr..
Whiteside has seen fit to give against
Senator Clark. That is the ~prerogative
of the senate committee. But when he
gets away from ine issues involved in the
investigation, and attempts to prove the
purity of his professions as a reformer by
misstating Montana history and casting
undeserved reflections upon men not con-
cerned in the present controversy, the In
ter Mountain. in common with every self
respecting citizen of this state. will
promptly call him down. The Standard
has the ability to recognise the propriety
of such criticisms. Notwithstanding its
f%ull-page struggle to parry their effect up
on a discriminating public.
That paper foresees an awakening. on
the part of the people of Montana tina,
wiz ascribe to each wing OF the dem

wrest the control of public affairs from

Standard is making to stem this tide
of public sentiment. which has set in
against the democratic party in it's en-
tirety. is painfully apparent in the course
which that paper has seen fit to edltorialiy
pursue. In making a fight against the
attitude of the independent citizen. it
shows that the end it has in view in the

In showing it's ability to discuss the. re-
lations of the democracy to the silver
question, with or without facts, the Big
Timber Express is setting an example
which some Of the more p~retentious dem
ocratic organs might mulate Fores>e.
ing the position into which the democracy
will be forced in the coming campaign.
the Express has the shrewdness to begin
to get along without the use of facts
early, and thus educate the imagination
of it's readers for future deliveries. The
Express says:
The Express repeats that the Inter
Mountains efforts to make the democ-
racy, as a whole, responsible for the ac-
tions of a few New York gold bugs, is
ridiculous.
OF course. the Inter Mountain has made
whole. responsible for the actions of a
few New York goldhugs, and therefore is
not ridiculous. This paper has based its
conclusions as to the attitude Of the sill
yer democrats OF what silver democrats
have done. Colonel Bryan and his as
s~ociates have left no stone unturned to
make some question other than free coin
age the paramount issue of the next
presidential campaign. Numerous sill
yer democrats-men who were active in
the support Of Bryan in 1~S96-have been
quoted in these columns, as in favor OF
dropping the free coinage ratio, and CIV
ing to silver an inconspicuous position in
the background.

his post of duty when the currency bill
was pending, inc when he ought to have
