An account was published recently In this
journal Of the serious annoyance caused In
certain parts Of Paris by the invasion of Gel
lars by yriads of rats dislodged from their
abodes in the sewers by the excavations for
the coming exposition 1t appears that Lon
don has been having somewhat similar eN-
perience,- though on smaller scale. The old
rookerias of Holywell street, in the Strand, are
now falling before the march of modern i'm
provement. The whole thoroughfare has long
been Of most unsavory reputation, although
collectors often exhumed queer treasures from
the dust of its nurky shops. In olden days,
according to popular tradition. it was a ia
verite haunt Of smugglers. and stories used to
be told Of secret passages running from the
Easements Of ancient taverns to the river
side for the Of criminals and smugglers.
The spirit Of romance, however. departed long
ago from the neighborhood, and the narrow,
dim and shabby little passage has been threat

Before he built his smelter at Anaconda
the valley below the works was rich and
productive. He bought number OF
farms, and the tailings from the works
and the copper impregnated water were
allowed to run down on the land Grad
ually the water covered more and more
ground, and some of the ranchmen who
would not sell save at exaggerated prices
found their ranches were being ruined.
They went to DAILY and complained. He
said he would pay a fair prices for the

Among the sufferers was man who had
given an option on his place to real es-
tate agent. This agent had tried to make

erty and threatened big damage suit.

not be imposed upon. The ranchman had

first and foremost a banker. Years be-
fore DAILY went to Montana Clark had
proved himself a money maker, as a
merchant and a money lender, and when
DAILY appeared he had acquired mining
interests that were yielding handsome re-
turns. After DAILY had spent year OF
two in the Butte mines he realized, be-
fore any one else, that the great wealth
there was in the ore bodies of the district
With his backing DAILY WAS able to take
advantage of the situation. After he had
secure mines and water right he got a
town site twenty miles from Butte. Then
he knew his mines would require immense
supplies Of timber, and he secured vast
tracts of forest lands and put in the larg-
est saw mills In the Northwest. He
knew he would need fuel, and he bought
coal mines and coal prospects. Then he
realized that the supplies the mines and
his employees would require would con-
stitute an immense business in itself, and
he organized company to handle that
branch Of the business. Suddenly Clark
and the whole state awoke to realiza-
ton that the man who had been slight
angly referred to by the so-called '.finan-
ciers' OF Helena and Butte as the Irish
uAAuS ooSS was a power IN the land, and
that he had under his control more en-
ployes and paid out each month in wages
thousands Of dollars more than all of his
rivals put together. 4
UP to the time DAILY got all Of his enter
prises in good running shape he did not
take any interest in politics. When Clark,
Hauser and other old-time Democratic
politicians began to figure on their
chances of carrying the state, as they
had in past years, they discovered that
Daily had to be reckoned with He had
an army OF men in his employ, and be-
cause he had been their friend the mem
bers OF this army were absolutely loyal
TO him and would do as he asked.
Tho politicians went to DAILY for his
support. He knew them. knew how they
regarded him. and was not inclined to
aid them. Just about this time another

DAILY is a great believer in the young
man. In politics he is continually push
ing him forward, and in business as well.
He is not, an indiscrimfnatet Il giyer of
money, however. His attention is called
to some young fellow who is struggling
along to get to the front. If he finds he
is worthy, is moral, and has brain, Daily
puts him in the way to make money j If
he shows that he is worthy Of the assist
ance that is first given, he is sure Of
Days friendship SO long as he: is what
he should be. { To-day there are scores
and scores Of young men In Montana who
are prospecting in a business way because
of the friendship of Daily, says the Wash
1ngton correspondence of the New York
Herald
Daily is one of the most steadfast
friends man can have, and he Is at the
same time one Of the worst enemies Let
a man once violate the confidence that
has been placed in his integrity or in his
loyalty, and he can never be reinstateds
in his good opinion. But Daily has the
reputation Of never forgetting friend
An Illustration Of this was furnished in
the capital fight between Helena and An
aconda DAILY was the most vilifled man in
the state But he had friend in Helena,
who. while he was in favor OF that place

and ay3a4ared in the main building,
where 3 great number of persons were
listening to the music. 1t did not at

plant. II was then decided to kill the
animal. and after dose of poison had
failed, d London gunmaker was sent
for as ss@cutioner, and shot the animal
dead. t.x. the following Wednesday an
inquesE was held on the body of the
man. Che evidence in favor of the
elephant could not have been more

discharged by Mr.. Sanger fifteen
months previously for gross brutality
to the animals. He came back and
asked to be employed again. This was
granted, and he was taken on, not as
keeper, but as a laborer. The very
first time he went into the stable the
elephant, though it was quite dark at
the time, instantly recognized the mans,
voice, and at once crushed him to,
death against the stall. The creature

did he kill the second keeper? Be-
cause this man, after his Sunday din
ner, declared that he would "pay out"
the elephant for striking him with his,
trunk. He actually took lace, one,
of those taken from the Arabs in the
Soudan. Chose who have seen the
trophies taken from the Mahdi's fol-
lowers will realize what a horrible
weapon it was.) Followed by another
keeper, also armed with lance, he
proceeded to prod. e., pierce the
chained elephant savagely. And his
death was the elephants revenge.

Johnny has yet to complete his second
season on the race track of the Brit
.ons. Their financial success in life is
almost wholly due to boyish liking
for riding ponies. They began as
striplings on the prairies about Wichi-
ia, Kan, and used to get into race
at a county fair now and then One
day Lester was taken to st. Louis with
load of horses. ]. j. McCafferty, we'll
known in Chicago turf affairs, was
anxious to secure some of the horses,
but stipulated that contract for Les
ter's services be thrown in. McCaf-
ferty finally signed the boy under a
four-year agreement at $40 per week.
In two years he became a prominent
rider and was offered $4,000 year by
Duke & Wishard. McCafferty, how
ever, refused to let good thing go and
held Reiff to his contract. Lester join
ed Duke & Wishard two years later
and made money in England. A year
and a half ago he induced his parents
to allow Johnny, then IA years of age,
to follow him. Johnny won his first
mount in England and became the
rage. He made people quit thinking
entirely of Tod Sloan. The critical
Englishmen scrutinized Johnny with
wondering eyes. They were unable to
comprehend how boy who could not
carry his saddle and lead pads to the
scalesroom was able to control big,
heavy-headed horses. Johnny is so

sion in Europe.
In Brussels, in Amsterdam, in Paris,
in Berlin, one hears the music of the
Transvaal hymn everywhere, says a.
writer. The Anglo-Boer war has rous-
ed tremendous sentiment in Europe
In every school of Belgium, Holland,
Germany, the children have made IN
collections for the families of the dead
Beers. Millions of marks, guldens.
francs have thus been sent to the suf-
ferers of the veldt. In churches. in
cafes, in concert hall, at social gather
ings, the most popular form of benevo-
lence this winter has been the Boer
subscriptions. If few friends in
Cologne or The Hague gathered for a
game of whist they sent the money
played for to the Beers, who never play
cards. If dinner was given at fash
ionable hotel the guests remembered
the farmers of the veldt, who hardly
ever saw hotel. AT one restaurant in
Brussels, 1900 francs were collected in
an evening. Every city and town that
has newspaper has had a subscrip.
ton fund. A German rural paper
lifted $4,000 marks. Sentiment in Hol-
land, Belgium, and Germany is prac-
tically unit pro-Boer, while in France
at least IS per cent lean the same way.
One quite pathetic form of Boer SYM
pathy in Europe was the "Haus-
sammlung," or house collection. This
was subscription taken in little boxes
by children who called from house to
