SAVED BY A GAME WARDEN.
Three Fishermen Rescued After
Their Boat Had Capsized.

Three men in a boat nearly lost their
lives last night while fishing near the
Anacostia Bridge. They are Julius Ba-
ker. John Altman, and John Mats, and
they owe their timely rescue from a wa
terry grave to Harry D. Bailey. game
warden of the District. who keeps boat
house at the foot of Eleventh Street
southeast.
While Baker and his companions were
fishing their boat in some manner was
suddenly upset. and the trio were thrown
into the river None of the men could
swim. it is said. Their cries attracted
the attention of several persons on shore.
among whom was Bailey, who put out
in one of his boats to rescue the men.
He arrived just in time to pull the three
men out of the water. They were taken
ashore, and were soon able to go to their
homes in Anacost1a.

MONTANA APPETIIES.

zone of the queerest things I have
ever struck was up in Montana" said a
dining car conductor of the Burlington
this morning. II used to run out of Chi
caso and have had runs in other parts
of the country. We always figured
ahead in making orders for supplies GER
tain proportions of steaks, chops, veget-
ables, fruit and pastries. On the Bill
ires line we found that all proportions
had to be revised. and that he we had to
order twice as many as steaks and chops,
less vegetables and fruits and scarcely
any pastries or desserts at all. Those
Montana people are the greatest meat
eaters l ever saw. They give meat Or
ders almost exclusively, with but very
little vegetables or fruit, and do not care
for pie or cake. Out of Chicago We could
figure on selling about four $3.50 porter
house steaks. In Montana it is eight. 1
do not know what makes it unless the
Montana people live more in the open
air, work harder, and get up more
wholesome appetites than the people out
of Chicago, who prefer pies, buildings
ard cakes. "-Omaha World Herald.

one of which was presented to Senator
Courtney.
The solon from Silver Bow was as de-
lightful as child because he had found
the lines for which he had been search
ing. They were presented to him short
ly after his attention had been drawn
to an editorial of previous date in the
Inter Mountain, in which he had been
referred to as Chesterfield and an in
dependent gentleman. With all his mo-
BILE traits, the deceased was permeated
by mild kind of vanity, the demon
STATIONS of which were so artless and
almost childlike that they tended to en-
dear him to his friends, whereby any,
body else they would have excited a
feeling of good-natured contempt.
Taking the editorial in one hand and
the poem in the other, he laughed and
remarked: Boys, here is something
nice said about me which I never ex-
pected, and here is a poem for which
I have been expressing a desire for sew
eral days. Evils are said never to come
singly. and the same seems true of
good"
Then he read the poem to the assem-
W
waistcoat, and whenever he happened
to be among crowd of good fellows -
where literature in any form formed a
topic of conversation he would draw
forth the poem and read it. The last
stanza was generally read twice, and,
in reading it, Courtney would throw his
whole soul into the performance, always
asking at the close, What do you think
of that?"
His fancy for this poem, taken in
conjunction with the remarks he made
when Senator Mahon gave notice of a
bill to change the name of Silver Bow
to Courtney county, have convinced
WINGED many of fatalistic turn of mind
that the orator and wit had a-premon-
ition Of what was soon to occur.
In order that this notion of so many
may be fully appreciated the lines are
herewith given. as follows:
If I should die tonight,
! My friends would look upon my quiet
Before they laid it in it's resting place
And deem that death had left it almost
fair:
And, laying snow-white flowers against
my hair.
Would smooth it down with fearful ten
derness.
And fold my hands with lingering
Poor hands, so empty and so cold to-
E!-ht.
If I should die tonight
My friends would call to mind with Low.
ing thought
Some kindly deed the icy hand had
wrought,
Some gentle words the frozen Inns had
Errands upon which the willing feet had
sped.
The memory of selfshness and pride,
My hasty words would all be laid aside
And so I should be loved and mourne6
tonight.
If should die tonight.
Even hearts estranged would turn once
more to me-
Recalling other days remorsefully.
| The eyes that chilled me with ayertef
glance
Would look upon me as of yore, per
chance,
And soften in the old familiar way:
For who could war with dumb, uncon
scious clay?
So / might rest forgiven of all to-
night.
o friends, I pray tonight
keep NOT your kisses for my dead, colo
brow:
The way is lonely, let me feel them now
Think gently of me; I am travel worn
My faltering feet are pierced with man,
thorn.
Forgive, heart estranged, forgive.
