COULD BEAR A SHOCK.

He Was short on Lungs, but Decid-
edIy Long on Nerve.
The young man was either an OPP
timist or the possessor of a harveyized
steel armor plated nerve. Perhaps he
was little of both.
A short time ago he came to the con-
clusion that he would like to insure his
life. With this object In view he made
application to a prominent company.
After filling up the necessary form he
received an invitation to call upon the
medical officer of the company and
undergo the usual medical examina-
ton. In due course he presented him
self at the office of the examining ply
slcian.
Requesting the young man to remove
his coat and vest, the doctor produced
stethoscope and began his examina-
ton. All at once he stopped and re-
garded the candidate with an express
sion of alarm.

you can bear shock"
"Oh, think SOL" was the cheerful re-
sponse. "Fire away and let me hear
the worst"
you have only one lung" announc-
ed the doctor solemnly.
well, what of that?" retorted the
candidate, with the utmost composure
IL never told you l had any more,

What" exclaimed the doctor, "do
you mean to say you were aware of

"Of course / was. Do you suppose

think ought to get it at a substantial
reduction in the premium"

1T NEEDS REFORM.

AT the late meeting of the State
Teachers association in Helena a
Legislative committee was appointed
whose duties shall be to wait upon
the Legislature, and recommend re.
vision of the school laws.
This move certainly promises tc
be productive of great good, mas,
much as the school laws of Montana
have for years become obsolete in
every other civilized commonwealth
1t is to be hoped that this committee
will start the work of reform at the
bottom and never cease until the
whole system is changed, and re.

Probably the ugliest beast in the
world is monkey, a grewsome look
Ing animal called the bearded saki.
This is so utterly grotesque a beast
that 1t would scarcely be safe to let a
child or nervous person see it. The
ugliness is not of an amusing kind. but
of an evil, sinister nature. The beast
has a sort of beard and countenance
unlike anything else in shape and lines.
The monkey itself is not particularly
savage, but is so hideous that the ma
tives of its country, South America,
say that no beast of prey, however
hungry, will tackle it. Even a hungry
jaguar will starye in a cageful of sakis.

THE ONE SURE THING.

There are sounds of laughter and singing
And sounds that Of woe make part,
As the earth to its fate goes swinging,
But love Is lord of the heart
And cloudy fair the weather
Some souls will be drifting together
And souls be drifting apart.
Dark evil may lurk in the byways,
Still blinking in wrath at the dawn,
And the terror leap forth on the highways
OF the sword from its scabbard withdrawn,
But cloudy or fair the weather
Some souls will be drifting together
And souls be drifting apart.
Though unmoved by the poets dreaming.
Men tarry too long in the mart
And grow cold in the pride of their scheming
Yet love is lord of the heart,
And cloudy or fair the weather
Some souls will be drifting together
And some be drifting apart.

The State of Affairs Said to Exist In
the Government Service.
''Why is it that women are practical
ly debarred from receiving promotions
to the higher places in the government
serviceF" asked a government clerk of
quarter of a century's experience
The question was put to several ladies'
in the treasury department. Before
any one of them had time to reply the
questioner proceeded to answer his
own interrogatory
'It is because they are held back by
members of their own sex" he said.
Some time ago lady in one division
l know of was so favOrably regarded
that she would have been made chief
of that division, but as soon as her
prospects became known her fellow
clerks of the same sex became indig-
nant and united in a protest. They de-
clared that they could never work un-
der her; that they would a thousand
times rather have man than woman
to boss them. They wouldn't allow
her to lord 1t over them
THAT Is only n sample of many
cases. Women can be depended upon
to antagoniZe women under such cir
cumstances. Not only did they do so
in the case l have cited, but they ac-
tually gave the marble heart and the
icy hand to this woman after they de-
feated her prospects Of promotion.
I am satisfied that one of the most in
fluential obstacles to women In their
effort to secure equal recognition with
men comes from their own SEX"
The man who asked and answered
the question then moved off before his
audience of lady clerks had an opportu-
Dity to reply to his assertions.-Wash-

DISEASES AMONG ANIMALS
Govern ment Veterinarian on Tuberculosis
and Chambers In Islands.
Recommends The Tub.rCulln Test for All Cattle
Imported Chambers From Abroad and
Cannot Be Stamped Out.

DR.. Shaw In his report to Minister
Young elsewhere mentioned states that
DR.. Waughop does not say whether It
Is dairy or range stock that Is affected
on Kauai. IL dairy the animals should
be subjected to the tuberculin test but
not more than once year.
THE inspector should use his own
discretion the government veterin-
rian says, "in condensing slaughtered
animals. When the tuberculous les-
ions are small in the intestines and
lungs the meat is not generally con-
densed. All foreign cattle should be
submitted to the tuberculin test on
arrival, same as the port of Honolulu. "
With regard to DR.. Elliot's report on
mules at Olaa, DR.. Shaw says: CLAN
ders cannot be stamped out, as l con-
slider that not less than 10 per cent of
the horses imported have CHAMBERS in
their systems. Out of eighty horses
submitted to the Mallein test, twelve
Of them gave the required reaction in
temperature. Five of this number that
reacted were killed, and on post NOR
tenn examination ! found the LESSONS
of CHAMBERS.
MY report Oh december 81, 1879,
Will show the increased importation
Of horses and mules over that of 1897.
Out of twelve horses destroyed last
year only two of them had been here
over one year, showing that the disease
is not among our local stock, but in
those recently imported.
CHAMBERS resembles Tuberculosis, In
that horse may be affected and still
live a natural life. The Seprum Nail
sent by DR.. Elliot shows unmistake-
able signs of CHAMBERS"
Since the late DR.. Brodie, the first
veterinary surgeon ever employed by
the Hawaiian Government, stamped
out CHAMBERS In Honolulu fifteen years
ago, by causing the destruction of all
infected animals, there was exemption
from the disease in these islands until
recently. According to Dr. Shaw. the
malign distemper cannot now be eradi-
Gated. This makes a blue outlook for
raisers and owners of horses and
mules, not to mention the menace 10
human life from the known communi-
cability OF the disease to man.

LIEUT.. GILhORE'S STORY.
Tells of Suffering And Abuse From
Insurgents.
WANDERED EIGHT MONTHS.

Manila, Jan 9.-Lieutenant J. c.
Gilmore, OF the United States gunboat
Yorktown. who was captured by the
insurgents last April near Baler, on
the coast of Luzon, and rescued a few
days ago by Colonel Luther R. Hare,
of the Thirty-third volunteer infantry,
sat in the apartment of his sister, Mrs.
Major Price, at the Hotel Oriente, in
Manila, and told remarkable story of
his eight months in captivity, ending
with his dramatic deliverance from a
death that seemed inevitable. What
follows is from Lieutenant Gilmore's
statement to the agent of the associa-
ted press. The Fi1ipinos, completely
terrified, left Benguet on December 7.
They hurried the prisoners from town
to town, often retracing the trail, not
knowing where the Americans would
attack. After being almost without
food for three days, they killed several
horses and we lived on horse flesh for
several days. I did not have a full
meal from December until I reached
Vigan. Indeed, the rescuing party
lived largely upon rice without salt.
There was one day when was reduced
to chewing grass and bark.
The Filipinos abandoned US on the
night of December 16. We had reach
ed the Aba1ut river near its source
that morning, and the Filipinos RATED
us over. We then went down the
stream, along a rough trail, guarded
by company of Filipinos. That night
we were separated from this guard,
and another company, armed with
Mausers, was put in charge of us.
suspected something, and questioned
the lieutenant in command. He said:
I have orders from General Tino to
shoot you all, but my conscience for
bids. 1 shall leave you here
On the morning Of December 10,
while we were working on the RATS,
the Americans came towards US yell
ing. One of my men shouted ''They
are on u.s." He was flashing raft of
bamboos. I, however, knew it was
not the yell of savages, but the yell OF
Americans. The rescuing troops
thought we had Filipino guards and
called to us in English to lie down, SO
that they could shoot the FiHpinos.
That was the finest body Of officers and
men ever saw.
The Filipino treatment Of the Span
iards was brutal in the extreme. The
insurgents had old grudges to wipe
out against them. Many talk about
the reconcentrados in Cuba, but have
seen Spaniards die at the rate of two
or three per day of starvation in the
hospitals at Vigan. have seen Ia
gallo officers strike Spaniards in the
face with whips and revolvers.
