The Butte inter mountain. [volume] (Butte, Mont.) 1901-1912, 1901-11-30

Among the useful trades that are req

representatives bring themselves into
more prominence han the chimney
sweeps.
There may be other callings which are
Just as important. possibly more SO. to

ht must be conspicuous. In Butte he fol-
lows the custom rigidiy.
Almost any morning about the corner
of Main and Broadway may be seen men
wearing hats which look as If they were
extended editions of a clowns headEear.
Early in the day the wesrers OF the Pc
culiar hats are clearly looking fellows,
and it might perhaps require a second
glance at them for one to decide on their
business.
Later, however, IL business has been
good with them, their soot-covered Wis
ages besreak the nature of their work.
The chimney sweep seems to depend
largely on his hat and the bugle to call
the attention Of people who may require
his services.

The Wise Old Fox.

Once upon a time there was an old fox
who had accumulated a great deal of
property and was taking life with real
comfort. One day his three married sons
called to see him.
Father said the oldest son. wouldn't
1t be we'll for o to deed your property
to us and relieve yourself of the care of
it?"
"By doing that" continued the second,
tive can avoid all trouble when the sad
day comes in which we must part with
you"
"And then" went on the other. 'you
can make your HON with us, each in
turn, and thus give pleasure to us ALL
"Sons." answered the old fox, "it is
very kind in you to consider my welfare,
but I prefer things as they are. My will
is made, n when I am zone you may
divide my property equally between YOU

to take the will for the deed.

Like the scissors grinder, he belongs to
a fast-motion class that does not wait
for business to come to it. He hies HIM
self about the city and in his own pc
culiar way seeks to attract attention and
secure work.
In Butte there is one chimney sweep
who probably deserves special mention.
He Is a large colored man, who wears
a high hat which seems to be made OF
leather and metal. His odd headgear
looks respondent on a bright morning
before he has been out among the chime
ncys.
A dictionary definition OF a chimney
sweep says he is lone whose occupation
is to sweep and sorapea chimneys, to
Clean them of the SCOT that adheres to.
:heir Sides q
If anyone in Butte has a doubt about
the correctness of the definition, perhaps
a look at one of the chimney sweeps Of
tn city as he comes down the street
after doing his work would suggest that
the dictionary is not much in error.
His occupation is an old and honorable
one. but like many other callings. it has
its drawbacks and among them inc prin-
cipal among them is SCOT.
