FUND OF THE FAMILY.


Perhaps nothing is more pathetic tLou
his wife buying her clothes, hats or shoes
for her, unless it be that of woman in
tailor shop debating to her husband
| as to his apparel.
And yet there is, more excuse for this
latter, for most men are so occupied
with ether things than clothes, it is no,
to be wondered at that they often need
the help of woman's trained eye and
sense of fitness in order that color and
cut Of cloth shall not clash in the proper
building of the whole. 1t seems entirely
out of order, nevertheless, to see WON
an in tailor's or hatter's having to dc
with her husbands Quitting.

too busy, OF indifferent to include clothes

But here is the case of those mascu

buying or judging of their own raiment
are yet dragged off to the inspection and
purchase Of the doublyinvolved intrica

enough to understand how and when t.

30 it goes without saying that the ma,
who is seen buying his wife's clothes put
her in one or the other of these unenyia

MEN, MARRIAGE, AND WOMEN.

MEN, MARRIAGE, AND WOMEN,
Dhen a man marries the girl he loves
he thinks he's got everything he wants.
but he soon finds out she hasn't.
In choosing husband always leave
him to do a fair share of the choosing.
Marriage is lottery in which many
of the prizes are drawn by men that
never find it out.
Many a married man is kept from
wishing that lie was single again through
fear that his wife will find out about it.
Marrying woman for money is gen
orally a trife risky, for you always get
the woman and not always the money,

CARE OF HOUSE BIRDS.

How and where will you keep your

Swiss cottages, pagodas and the like,
hung with pendants and sparkling with
metallic ornaments, are both tasteless and

it poisons or chokes itself, and the cor

SULGROVE'S OPINION,
HELENA HEALTH OFFICER DIS
CUSSES BUTTE SMALLPOX.

Leslie Sulgrove. city health officer, has
returned from Butte and Anaconda,
where he spent a few days investigating
the smallpox conditions, says the Herald.
He says he found the situation in Butte
had been somewhat exaggerated. The
city health authorities seem at last to
have awakened to the seriousness of the
situation, have thrown professional diff
ferences to the winds and are making an
honest effort to combat the progress of
the disease.
He is of the opinion that the health
authorities of Butte have the situation
under control and will be able to prevent
a spread of the disease, and also obviate
the necessity of this town qu%arantining
against Butte. 1t has been an expensive
lesson for the authorities and there is
little doubt but hat they have profited
by it.
Public opinion has changed and the
people seem determined that, regardless
of expense. the situation must be met in
a determined and energetic manner. The
expense in Butte today was reported to
be several hundred dollars a day. He
hoped that Helena would profit by
Butte's experience and spare no effort
to check the disease wherever it might
show itself. Vaccination should gener-
ally be taken. 1t was a disagreeable fea-
ture of the prevention Of the disease.
but one that none should have any
qualms about trying.
Or the 66 cases recorded in Butte"
said he. "47 had never been vaccinated,
IA We're rendered immune in early child
hood, but it had elapsed. and the rest
were doubtful, not being sure themselves
and bearing no marks.
"Ihere were one he~mOrrhagic and nine
continent cases, and the remaining ones
were of the discreet type. Only one case
was fatal. The victims had been in the
habit of reporting in the alley by the
city hall and near the postof1ce. and
upon the vigorous protest of the post
master, G. w. Irwin, and demands of
others. a house of detention was erected.
which helped matters. The postmaster
has reported to the United States an

will follow.
Should fair weather. prevail. the
health officer will make good headway
In stamping out the disease, and IL the
newspapers would indulge in fewer scare
heads and not let their anxiety for
scoops outrun their judgment and in
Jure the city. it would be better for all
concerned. The people Of Butte do not
conceal the condition of affairs: they
e~xaggerate 1t, because they have not
considered 1t serious. They do now.
They believe. however. that the town is
ade the dumping place for all Of the
state. and so far as we are concerned I
corrected that impression and doubted

enough here and to spare: an element

has caused most of the trouble from the

body was lying in a pool Of blood an,
was partly covered. with debris. TIL,
face was not mutitated.
The condition of Pino's body and the
place in which 1t was found-SO or s;
fet further out of the drift from where
Bilboa met his death-would indicate
that he was not killed instantly. The mer
who examined the ground are Of the
opinion that he was probably fatally in
jured by the explosion of the first hole
fired. and lived long enough to drag his
poor, MANNED body out to where it was
found. There is water in the bottom
Of the drift, else his trail could be
traced by the blood. The men are also
OF the opinion that the first shot killed
Bilboa and the succeeding blasts piled
the debris on his body.
The deputy state mining inspector was
at once notified, and arrived at the mine
before the bodies had been removed to
the surface. He concurs in the opinion
of the men who found the bodies. He
n the holes and estimated the
quantity of powder used. He is Of the
opinion that the accident was caused by
a short fuse.
while the breast Of the drift is dry,
there is water in the bottom. Where
there is water the fuse sometimes burns
slower han it would in a dry drift. 1t is
possible that the man who cut the fuse
made the fatal mistake of believing that
it would burn slowly on account of this
dampness. 1t is one Of those accidents
which cannot be accounted for"
Coroner Julien arrived al the mine
early, and after looking over the scene
of the fatality ordered the remains taken
to the surface. The bodies were then re-
moved to Sherman's undertaking rooms.
Pine was an Italian. single, and about
80 years of age. He had been employed
at the mine for some time and made his
home at No. los Ohio avenue.
Bilboa was a native of England. He
was a fine specimen of manhood. weigh
ing fully 200 pounds. was about 81 years
of age, n lived with his wife in Cork
town. He had been employed at the
mine about a year. and was considered
a careful. p~ainstaking miner, and one
n would take all necessary precau-
ton.
Coroner Julien will hold an inquest on
the remains at Sherman's undertaking
tonight.

mated at 22.S17 long tons. a decrease of

The Never Sweat mine. which has been
particularly unfortunate of late. was the
scene of an accident early this morning
which cost two sturdy miners their lives.
The names of he victims were Mike Pine

II O'Clock last night and had drilled and

with one and one-quarter-inch giant
powder. the total weight Of ten charges
being about 25 pounds. 1t is customary
for the men to fire the holes just before
going off shift in the morning.

Hugh Quinn and Hugh Smith were at
work in a drift corresponding to the
west drift, and Martin Hacket and John

men fired their blasts and waited for
Pine and Bilboa to put in appearance, as
is the custom. AS the men in the west
