ONE-EYE MEN
Have Some Advantages That Men with
Two Eyes Haven't.

0A " W
Two Eyes Haven't.
A. L. Lawlor, of Kansas City. at the
Grand Hotel said to the New York
Tribune; Many people think that Of
all the accidents that can happen 10
a human being the loss of eyesight is
by Tar the worst. This l grant you,
when eyesight is completely gone, but
wh9re a man loses a single eye there
are c~ompensating advantages. We all
know of the man whom the ed
savage was about to burn at the stake:
whom he removed the artificial eye he
carried he was straightway released,
made a mighty medicine man of the
tribe, and finally escaped with eveiy-
thing portable or of value belonging to
his captors. Then there's the man who
bet to a ~standstill a large circle of men
h were looking for a good thing
and found it in themselves. His bet
was that he could stare steadily for
five minutes with one eye at the sun
in the full glare of midday and never
wink. He won hands downs. These
are two cases where a glass eye was OF
distinct advantage to it's owner, and |
can bear personal witness to a third. 1t
happened in a poker game | was in. AS
is usual in poker games, the jack pots
did not come often enough, and the in
evitable suggestion that the services of
a buck be enlisted was Immediately
forthcoming. A buck is some object
thrown into the pot which goes to the
winner. When the deal reaches hat
particular man it is a jack pot, the
buck again enters the ring and another
jack pot ensues, when that particular
winner is reached and so on ad infini-
tum, and generally, to a portion of the
party ,ad nauseam. This particular even
ing the suggestion met with approval
even we were hunting for something
to use as a buck, when one of our num-
Der, extracting his artificial orb, put it
on the table in front of him, with the
words, How will this do for a buck?'
1t wouldn't at all we fastened to as
sure him, but he accomplished his OBJ
ject, for he bluffed every one. We
couldn't separate our united gaze from
hat eye, and when the evening ended
he a to hire a wagon to carry his
plumber away. There is no doubt"
continued Mr.. Lawlor, that the pos
session of a glass eye is not wholly
without its compenSatiOns."

Great Falls (Mont.) Cor. Chicago
Record: IN almost unprecedented
event in recent years-a horse round
up-ls scheduled in four counties of
northern Montana during the present
month and the affair promises to be
both unique and profitable. The I'M
usual demand for horses III Chicago.
st. Louis and other eastern cities has
caused a great upheaval in the long
horse market, until now
horses are being shipped out of the
state in trainloads and yet the flow of
buyers has not been checked. Even
the English government has sent
agents to Montana in search of mounts
suitable for the South African service.
AT the recent meeting in Helena Of
the North Montana Roundup Asso-
citation (cattle), the subject of a horse
roundup was suggested and resulted in
a call for a meeting in this city, with
the object of forming a horse roundup
association, which was accomplished,
the following officers being chosen:
President, j. c. Adams; secretary.
Thomas Couch; treasurer, H. H. Mel
son. Rules similar to those governing
cattle round-ups were adopted. The
territory to be covered includes that
lying between the Missouri river, Birch
creek and the Dearborn and Marias
rivers, n contains practically all of
Chateau, Teton and Cascade counties
n part OF Lewis and Clarke, embrac-
ing an area equivalent in size to the
states of Connecticut and Rhode Island
combined. An extensive system of cor
rails has been arranged and into these
every horse found will be driven. There
has not been a horse roundup in Mon
tana for owe ten years, owing to the
slack demand. Not all of these ami
mails are "~cayuses." In fact, most of
them have more or less domestic blood
in their veins, which cattlemen declare
to be a most desirable mixture in that
the animals retain the staying quail
ties of the cayuse and have the larger
build and gentleness of domesticated
horses. This cross-breeding is a nat
ural result caused by ranging the
cayuses and high-grade horses togeth-
er, when neither We're in demand on
the market.

ISL OF ABSlNTHE
In the French Army Is Prohibited gse
Much Insanity.

In the French Army Is Prohibited g>o
Much Insanity.
A movement against insanity has at
last been started in France, says the
New York Tribune. The amount of
insanity in that country is enormous
No statistics of recent years are at
hand at the moment, but twenty years
ago two and one-half persons out Of
every thousand in France were insane,
That is to say two and a half out of
every thousand were SO insane that
the rest of the people recognized that
they were SO. 1t does not mean
that two were insane and one was half
insane. There have never been any
statistics of the Frenchmen who were
half insane. 1t is only an average. The
present movement against insanity
starts in the right place. 1t does not
temporiZe where the cases are small
and few or attack the weak and the in
conspicuous. 1t begins with the army.
An example should be made of the
editors next. Only one form Of insan-
lty is menaced as yet, the form which
the French, in their picturesque tongue
call the foolishness alcoholic" Gen
eral Galliffet makes the attack, in the
form of IN order prohibiting the sale
of spirits, absinthe and vermouth in
camps and barracks. Nor is there my
report that the soldiers are to have
any such compensation as was the case
with the American man-o'-war's man,
on the famous occasion when they
raised his pay five cents a day and
stopped his grog forever" Soldiers,
like other people in France, it seems,
use these liquors as appetizers, but
there is no suggestion that the General
hopes by prohibiting them to save ra-
tons, as well as to prevent insanity.
Hereafter they can have wine. beer
and cider, but no spirits and no such
bra~in-tearing decoctions as absinthe.
No doubt the prohibition is for the
good of France internally, as we'll as
for that of the soldiers, also internally.
And when the command is extended to
editors it will be for the good of
France in it's relations with other ma
tions.

Noting British FIodA

One Of the best indications of the
way in which the United States is
invading the markets of the world is
to be found in the fact that most of
the British flags sold in England now
adays are imported from America,
This statement is made on the author
ity of a dealer in London, who is quot
ed in the Morning Leader of that city.
There are no statistics at hand. but
the number of British flags made in
America runs into the millions, accord
ing to this dealer. He explained the
fact by saying that Americans made
the flags better and cheaper, and that
more flags were made and sold 10 the
United States than anywhere else. He
also added that nearly all the British
flags used in Canada came from the
republic.

OUR FOREIGN CITIZENS.
Nearly 100000 Germans-Irish In Al
Occupations.

Nearly 100000 Germans-Irlsh In All
Occupations.
Germans have come to America in
great numbers, according to an article
in Ainslee's Magazine. The last CEN
u stated we had 2,7S4, 1894 Germans,
and they have been of i~ncalculable
benefit industrially. They have made
some of IL best tradesmen, they sup
ply skilled artisans and have intro
duced and monopolized many manu-
factures. They are also famous farm
ers and gardeners. To them we par
TALLY owe the fact Americans are a
muslc-loving people. Illinois has near
ly $4,000 German citizens. Irish i'm
migrants have done much to build up
the wealth of this country. Railroads
and other great public works have
been built through their personal toll.
They are gregarious, have a taste for
politics and in large and small ways
enjoy the independence to accumulate
and spend which they were denied at
home. Their occupations range all
the way from laboring on the streets
to millionaire financiering. The Irish
farmers of this land are among the
most prosperous and valuable to the
community. Italians constitute an i'm
portant part of our foreign popula-
tlon, and as they are still coming in
great numbers their presence is the
cause of much interesting speculation.
In 1890 the Italians we're only 1872, $50.
or these 11S, LOG were in the north At
lantic states; 1894 in the south Allan
tic; 1887 in the north central; in the
south central, 1894, and in the west
ern, 24,914. There is a general impress
sion that these Italians, most of them
men, come here to work hard for a few
years and then to go back to live in
easy idleness on their savings. There
may be something in this, for they do
go back and forth a great deal. These
Italians are the public-woshs laborers
of the time. They work diligently with
the pick and shovel, and the bosses
make them perform prodigious tasks
with these simple implements. Proba-
bly, so per cent of the Italian immi-
grants are unskilled laborers. But they
take to other things kindly. They have
actually driven the negroes Il of the
bootblacking field, and even the Irish
porters now at the best hotels no long
er have a monopoly of polishing the
able people, and apt to be l~aw-abiding.
