Over in Butte, when the weather. is
good and the signs of the moon are
right, Jimmy Tickle and Jack Spargo
the number of times that the sun yniAy
be seen during the day-and do many
other things. Thus says the Great Falls
Tribune. =
Both gentlemen are we'll knoVS1l. to
every man who has ever lived in Butte
for over half an hour at time. and if
both should leave the city at OneStinle
business would come to a sudden I'D !
still and the beautiful and clear ruXMfng
Silver Bow Brewery creek would c6aNgs
its course and run up hill like the street
cars Of Mr.. Wharton when they visit the
Columbia Gardens.
Mr. Tickle is a round little man about
5 foot 6. who looks like picture of
Quaker Oats, and weighs somewhere
about ACT pounds when in condition.
and his right hand never knows what
his left hand is doing, for obvious rea-
sons.
Mr. Tickle has not seen his front fest
during the last quarter Of century, and
ir is whispered that one night he slipped
upon the sidewalk and fell while cross
ing West Granite street, and the. fall
was the unwilling cause of the great
crack which a newspaper man i'll search
OF filler wrote stories about ever after.
Mr. Tickle is from England originally,
but outgrew it so years ago; his laugh
can give Minnehaha the Merryha-has in
manner which makes him friends
while he sleeps, and the life of MIR.
Tickle is one long dream of joy
Mr.. Spargo was also English once
upon a time. ard weighs SEQ pounds less
than Mr.. Tickle. though his laugh is
just as heavy and his joity is infec-
tous.
Both men are sportsmen and crack
shots with the double barrel, and the
visit of one into the woods is sure to
bring out an inquiry from the other

Butte's newsboys were the guests or

ton at the theater last evening.
Two hundred of Buttes brightest boys
occupied seats at Sutton's new theater

Never was there a more unnopplai
villain; never more popular hero than
those that the newsboys alternately
Kissed and cheered as the fortunes Of
the favorite ebbed and flowed last eve
ming.
Various methods of disposing of the
villain were suggested by the boys
methods not according to the code in the
statute books of civilized nations.
Some were for hanging him outright
after the performance; others would be
content with altering his appearance
depriving him of his nose and ears-the
severed members to be presented to the
hero in token of their appreciation o,
his virtue.
The pretty maiden, who adored the
hero and loathed the villain, made the
biggest hit of her life with the Inter
Mountains guests, and each time she
showed herself she was the recipient of
marked applause. f.
