DAILY STOCKS UNLOADED
SLUMP IN COPPER LAID TO ACTION

Special to The Globe.

Special to The Globe.
BUTTE. Mont, Dec. S.-A persistent
rumor is current that the large hold
ings of the Amalgamated copper stocks
of Mrs. Marcus Daily and the DAILY es-
tate have been thrown on the market,
causing the disastrous decline in that
stock. Montana holders have lost heav-
lily in the slump of the last few weeks.
1t is said that Mrs. Daily, in addition
to the large block of stock that came to
the estate from the late Marcus DAILY,
was persuaded to invest heavily in the
stock on her own account at the time of
the consolidation of the Boston COM
panies. When the stock began to de-
cline, it is said, she sold and the es-
tate also unloaded at a loss of more
than $1,OO0,OO0

RADIANT HOME sAsE-BURHER.
Call at Ferris & Cauthorn's Store and
see Their Stoves.


ElOm VIC Au OADnoI ff(AAoCAAN
We never had a coal stove around
the house until last Saturday. Have
always used pine slabs and pieces Of
our neighbor's fence. They burn well,
toe, but the fence got all burned up,
and the neighbor said he wouldn't
build a new one, so we went down to
Jones' and got a coal stove. 1t is call
ed the aRadiaut Home,n is manu-
featured by BLACK s. GERMER, OF Erie,
Pa, and any man that says we didn't
have a radiant home at u house
for about four hours last Saturday
night, is a Republican and a william.
You see we didn't know anything
about coal stoves. We filed the
Radiant Home about half full Of pine
fence, and, when the stuff got well to
going, we filed the artesian well on
top with coal. 1t simmered and
sputtered about five or ten minutes,
and all went OUT, and we put en- IN
~overcoat and a pair of buckskin
mittens and ''went our too to supper.
We remarked, in the purse Of the
frugal meal, that Jones was a "froad"
for recommending such a COMPOUNDED
refrigerator TO a man to get warm by.
After supper we took a piece OF ice
and rubbed our hands warm, and went
in where that stove was, resolved to
make her draw and burn if it took all
the pine fence in the First Ward. Our
better half threw a quilt over her, and
shiveringly remarked that she never
really knew what real solid comfort
was until she got a coal stove. Stung
by the sarcasm in her remark, we
turned every dingus on the stove that
was movable, or looked like 1t had
anything to do with draft, and pretty
soon the Radiant Home began to heaye
up heat. 1t was not long before she
suffered like the new Silsby steamer.
Talk about your heat In ten minutes
that room was as much worse than a
Turkish bath as Hades is hotter than
Ligerman's ice house. The perspira-
tion fairly fried out of a tin water
cooler in the next room. We opened
the doors, and snow began to melt as
far up Vine street as Hanscombe's
house, and people all round the
neighborhood put on linen clothes.
And we couldn't stop the COMPOUNDED
thing. We forgot what Jones told us
about the hampers, and she kept a
billing. The only thing we could do
was to go to bed and leave the thing
to burn the house up If it wanted TO.
We stood off with a pole and turned
the damper every way, and at every
turn she just sent out heat enough to
roast an OK We went to bed, suppos-
ing that the coal would eventually
burn out, but about twelve o'clock the
whole family had to get up and sit on
the fence. Finally, a man came along
who had been brought up among coal
stoves, and he put a wet blanket over
him and crept up to the stove and
turned the proper dingus, and she
cooled off, and since that time has
been Just as comfortable as possible.
If you buy a coal stove you want to
learn how TO engineer it, or you may
get roasted. d5t wilt
