A SOCIETY IMPOSTER,

In the ledge of Sway-Backed Susan,
Leader of the Ute -Four Hundred,
All the kings and queens of fashion
That the fragrant tribe could boast of
Gathered for a festal Blowout.
There was Dick and Mrs. BuH Elk,
Bulbous-Nose and his best squawlet,
Miss The-Girl Who-Has-No-Sox-On,
Bessye Notwithstanding
Pollye Eliyn Skins -tha-Rabbit,
Sleepy Jim and Chicken Swiper,
Colonel Skunk That-Spikes-t he-BrSezss.
Mam'seH Don't You Wish You-Had-Me,
And a lot of other flyers
From the gilded oop of fashion.
Twas the annual dinner given
By fair Sway-Backed Sue in honor
OF the death OF her last husband,
Who was angelized quite sudden
by an expert quick-shot paleface
Round whose henGhouse he was shopping.
In the chatting dish the dog meat
From a blooded bull pup simmered.
On the GOALS the tripe was broilirg,
And the heavenly aroma
P~ercolating through the wigwam
Started every nose to t%witching,
Thrilled with fond anticipation.
Gayly sped he danse du ventre
To the beating of the tomtom.
And the beaded perspiration
stood upon the smOke-cured faces
Like the warts upon the hoptoad.
Suddenly a shrek of horror
Marked with streak of indignation
Burst from out of Sway-Backed Susan.
And she swatted Messieur Bull Elk
On the ear and swiftly kicked him
Through the portal of the tepee
Gut INTO the shimmering moonlight!
He had claimed to be a blue-blood.
A society example,
Lacking not a hish-flown feature,
And as such had won her favor,
But shed then and there discovered
mat he was a base imposter.
For to her he had admitted
In a literary confab
That he'd not read David Harum,
Denver Evening Post.

PROVISIONS FOR MINERS.

A winter supply of provisions for the
miners who are employed in the Senate
group of mines at Copper camp, in the
Moose Lake mining district. left Ana
ono today in charge of 7. ]. Flemming.
His outfit for carrying the goods out
there consists of two four-horse teams,
heavily loaded with flour. bacon and
staple good, such as are used in a min
ing camp. The trip of more than thirty
miles, way up among the mountain re-
gions west of Anaconda. is being made
on wagons something unusual for the
month of January. Ordinarily the snow
is deep on the Moose lake wagon road
any time after the middle of November
until late the next spring. but this year
at the present time there is scarcely
enough snow for sleighing at any point
on the road. Spring time in that section
is not productive Of good roads, there
fore the mine owners are taking advan-
tage Of the open weather and good roads
and are stocking up for the remainder Of
the winter season, and will also put in
enough grub to last them until summer
comes again.

It May Be the Dread Disease,
Smallpox.
THE HOUSE IS GUARANTEED
The Victim Is the Daughter of Thomas
Burke-The Doctors Are Not
Yet Certain.

The residence Of Thomas Burke, a
works Of the Anaconda Copper Mining
company, situated west of the general
offices of the company, has a suspected
smallpox case and is as good as quaran-
tined. The person who is i'll is his daugh-
ter, Miss Nellie Burke. a pupil in the
graduating class of the high school, and
one Of Anaconda's brightest young
ladies. She has been complaining for
three or four days, and is now under the
care of DR.. Stephens, who has been un-
able to diagnose the case. Shortly after
complaining of feeling unwell. a rash
broke out, and later there were more
symptoms Of a fever, which is still raging
to such an extent that the young lady
is said to be very i'll. She has not at
tended school since the week before
Christmas, therefore her Illness, although
regretted by the school faculty and her
associate students, has caused 10 alarm
in the schools ~other-than a reminder
hat if it turns out to be the dread dis
ease too much care cannot be exercised
against it. Upon the advice of the at
tending physician, the Burke family re-
main at home and do not allow any one
to come nea the residence. Miss Anna
Burke, cashier in the store of MacCal-
lum & Clotier, who has not been stopping
at home for several days. returned home
last night as soon as there was a ques-
ton of a probability of smallpox. and
will remain at home until all doubt is
raised, which will be determined within
the next "a hours. The Burke household
contains a large family, among them
several daughters.

of two of the most cOngeSted streets
stood Il police officer. tall and COM

with au eye that compelled obedience.
When the tide of travel surged thick
est, little old lady came to the curb
and looked out into the impossible

IDENTIFY she wanted to get across. The
gallantry of the big policeman took
possession of him. He approached her
and held up his hand.
Don't be afraid. III see that you
get across safely" he said.
The old lady shook her head ncry-
ously and seemed more undecided than
ever. The policeman came nearer.
Taking her aESn, he started 10 lead her
across. stopping the steady stream Of
passersby in wagons and carts. The
old lady hung back, protesting. When
the slow way 10 the other side of tire
street had been made, the officer re-
leased her arm. She looked at him in

has not violated the rights OF 4 neutral

undre her old common law. she has =
right TO seize food supplies absolutely
necessary for the maintenance OF her
soldiers and sailors in time of war, her
right being subject 10 the equities OF

The attitude of the United States
government on the three propositions
submitted in justification by Lord
Salisbury is as follows: The United
States accepts Great Britain's plea in
justification is regarded as Inadequate
and evasivc in that il avoids q general
declaration as TO whether corn. meal
aud -four are contrabaHd of war. but
the answer is reasonably sufficient be-
cause it declares specifically that the
articles on the vessels named were not
cOntfaband of war, as they were not
destined for the camp of the enemy.
and that was one important contention
of the state department.
As 10 the third proposition. the Unit
ed States accepts in good faith the plea
that the goods We're seized as Il mill
tary necessity for the supply of the
British army and navy and that such
necessity justified the act of seizure
without prejudice to any other inter
national questions involved. The state
department. Notwithstanding this tend
tive reply, which precludeS any chance
