Sweeping Back the River.

Some time ago two hulking hoboes
u no had just dismounted from Gen.
trail freight train asked Yonkers man
food. He took them to a restaurant
and promised to provide them with
work as soon as they had finished eat
Ing. When they reported for work, he
said: Boys, my cellars full of water,
and want you to pump it out I've
fixed these hand pumps right here OH
the sidewalk. Never mind the people.
When they come along and ask ques-
lions, just you say nothing, but pump
till the waters out of the cellar Keep
cool. Don't hurry, but pump. and
will pay you WELL"
river ran through this mans store eel
lar and out under the sidewalk. and the
pumps reached down into the river.
The water pumped out by the hoboes
ran into the sewer and back into the
Nepperhan, but as the sidewalk was
tightly tagged the bumpers didn't
know the size Of their job.
The street became damned with spec
tators, who roared with merriment as
they watched the hoboes. All but the
men at the pumps knew what was up.
When the sun went down, it descended
on the wrath of two Weary Willies,
armed with coupling pins. They hunt
ed all night for their kind employer,
but he was in New York telling his
friends

AmaIgamated Copper Company Said
to Have 1t.
A special from Butte to the Helena
Independent says: 1t is again current
report here that the Inter Mountain
has been sold by Senator Mantle to
the Amalgamated Copper company,
and that possession will be given be-
fore many weeks have passed. This
report has been heard many time
before, and proved to have been a
work of imagination, but this one is
affirmed to come from an authorita-
tive source. The figures of the trans
action are kept a profound secret, as
is also the exact date when the trans
fer of ownership will be made known
officially.
Another rumor that goes along with
the one OF sale is that Editor John
B. Read has declined to accept en-
ployment under the new regime, and
will retire from Montana journalism
when the transfer has been accom-
plished.
