MISS MASON PROSPECTING.
Butte School Teacher Turning Her
Vacation to Account.

According to the last issue of the Vir-
gini9 City Madisonians there, is a Butte
lady school cache who believes there are
other ways of becoming wealthy besides
teaching the young idea how to shoot.
The lady is Miss Anna Mason, a sister of
Mrs John O'Rourke. The article in the
Madisonian is as follows:
Miss Anna Mason, one of the popular
teachers in the schools of Butte, who
spends her vacation on her fathers
ranch near Laurin, has turned her at
tention to mining. Miss Mason has
purchased a prospecting drill similar to
the ones used by the Conrey Mining
company and by Mr.. Fine on the GRAY
ely range. She believes gold exists in
paying quantities in the old channel of
Alder creek, which formerly crossed her
fathers ranch. The drill was received
the later part of last week and is now set
up ready for work, which will begin in a
few days. The motor w of the drill Is
to be furnished by a heavy horse on a
tread machine. Should Miss Nason's
theories prove to be correct it will not
be many years before she will retire from
the rduou task of teaching to attend to
the more fascinating employment OF man
aging a large mining corporation. me
Madisonian wishes her success in her
venture. AS far as known she is the first
Madison county girl to turn her attention
to mining"

A few days 6 William J. Walsh, the
Butte plumber, was appealed to by a
transient plumber for aid. The stranger
was broke and Mr.. Walsh decided to help
him out. He took the fellow, whose name
is William Wagner, to his home, fed
him and gave him odd jobs. Yesterday
he sent the mar, over to Dublin Gulch to
finish a job in a saloon. Wagner finished
it all right, and the proprietor OF the
place paid him $40, instructing him to
take it to Walsh. Wagner agreed to this:
gave a receipt. took the money and came
down town to have a good time. He col
lected a number of his hobo friends and
was showing them how to be a good fell
low when Walsh found him. The fellow
was in a saloon ordering up the drinks
as fast as the barkeeoer could wait on
him. He was arrested on the charge of
obtaining money under false pretenses.
OF the $40 all that remained was 81. 80.

An Iron Gar.

In the Memoirs of q Revolutionist,"
by Prince Kropotkin, the author says
that Alexander II himself, for all he
was willing to emancipate the serfs,
was a man capable of singular harsh
ness and even brutality. When Kro-
potkin was promoted and was called
with other officers to the side Of the
czar, the latter congratulated them
quietly, speaking about military duty
and loyalty. "But if any of you," he
went on, distinctly shouting out every
word, his face suddenly contorted with
anger-"but if any Of you-which God
preserve you ~from-should under any
circumstances prove disloyal to the
car, the throne and the fatherland,
take heed Of what I say, he will be
treated with all the severity Of the
laws, without the slightest com-mise-
ration"
His voice failed" says the author.
Ellis face was peevish, full Of that
rage which I saw in my childhood on
the faces Of landlords when they
threatened to skin their serfs under
the rods He violently spurred his
horse and rode out of our circle. Next
morning, the l4th Of June, by his or
ders, three officers were shot at Modlin,
in Poland, and one soldier, Szur by
name, was killed under the rods"

A Rag Time Feast.

Lovers of popular rag-time songs and
music will revel in the performance of
"The Hottest Coon in Dixie" the big new
colored musical comedy-travesty that
ONE to Dickinson Opera House to-
night Saturday. Fun and music reign
supreme in this lively "skit", and the au-
dience will find few dull moments from
the rise to the fall of the curtain. The
organization comes to us from the far
East with the strongest press endorse
ment ever bestowed upon a show visit
ing the coast. The company numbers
thirty of the leading colored singers,
comedians and entertainers of their race
in America. 1t includes also, the ia
nous colored "Clorindy' chorus of 10
singers, that for sixteen consecutive
weeks were quite the rage last summer
at the fashionable New York Casino
reef. In San Francisco they packed the
magnificent California Theater for ten
performances, and at Portland and Seat
tie the same immense business was ex-
perienced. "The Hottest Coon in Dixie"
is a melange of all the best features of
farce comedy, travesty and high class
vaudeville. More than a score of the
catchiest coon melodies will be inter-
spersed through its lively acts, in addi
ton to the cake-walk, '.medleys..and spe-
%cialties. The Seattle Post-Intelligencer
of January 18th, says: 1.-THE Hottest Coon
in Dixie" opened to an audience last
night that packed the theater to the
doors, and the great audience was kept
in a roar of laughter from beginning to
end by the fun-making abilities of the
entire company. Every specially pos
sessed particular merit of its own, and
met with unqualified approval from the
audience. The singing, especially the
concerted members and choruses, have
never been equaled in this city, and the
performance as a whole is quite the best
thing given us this season.
The costumlng of "The Hottest Coon
in Dixie is ~extravagant and the attrac-
ton will prove n of the seasons most
popular revelations.

Fear In High Places.

A famous steeple climber was ask
ed If be ever felt fear in his business.
"Of course I feel fear at times,'' he
answered. Tear is common to all
mankind. Not to feel fear is not cour-
age. To overcome fear is the true quail
ty Of courage. I divide the nerve force
OF a man into two parts-the impelling
force and the restraining force-the
same impelling force that causes u
body of recruits at first to run under
fire and the restraining force that
causes them to overcome for various
reasons the first natural fear. So, in
climbing, n unused to it is by the
natural impelling force of his
system afraid, afraid that his legs, his
arms, his support, will give way and
plunge him down. Shakespeare, who
touched on all human emotions, touch
ed on this feeling of fear in high places
when in king Lear he pictured Ed
ward at the cliffs Of Dover.
1.-THE one way to get over the natural
fear is by some restraining force from
either within or without. l remember
once when q new boy at sea was Or
dered aloft by the mate he trembled
with fear and begged to be let out Of
1t. Upon my soul, sir, l can't go up
there This was his first impelling
impulse. But when the mate touched
him up with a ropes end he was at the
top Of the mast so quick that the mate
could not follow him. The pain on his
outer nerves brought him to his senses
and made him exert his restraining
force. So if you happen to be with
any one who shows signs Of fear in a
high place n few smart slaps on the
face will bring him to himself. The
right medicine for unconquerable fear
IN a high place is immediate pain on
the outside nerves."-Boston Tran
script.
