was born AZ years ago on the Isle of
Jersey, just off the coast of Normandy.
He comes of splendid old French family
and traces his lineage back to the nobi,-
ity of the sunny land of fruit and flow
ers. His early life was spent in this
place: here he received his education and
training. One of the pleasantest recol-
lections of his life is his intimate ac-
uuaintance with Victor Hugo. When
this splendid man was banished from
France he sought refuge on the Isle OF
Jersey and for two years he lived in the
next house to the one occupied by the
GARNER family. Charles GARNER entered
greatly into the life of this splendid man
of letters. His relations with him We're
on the basis of friend and friend; into
many of his secrets and ideas. Victor
Hugo allowed the young GARNER free
access. His work, a great deal of which
was done during his residence on the
Isle of Jersey, was often perused in the
original manuscript by the gentleman

Mr.. GARNER came to the United States
in 1873. In 1883 he came to Livingston
and engaged in the cigar business. He
employs all the way from six to twenty
men and turns out a product which has
gained name and fame all over Montana.
Always public spirited and loyal to the
town in which he lives. he has been in
timately connected with it's growth ana
development 1t is fitting and proper
that he should have been raised to the
highest office within the gift of the citi-
Zens of Livingston. He is a gentleman
of splendid personal appearance ideal
executive ability; filled with modern
ideas and able and willing in every re-
spect to give the city one of the best
administrations it has ever had. Two

When the Heat Is Greatest.

When the heat Is greater out of doors
than indoors 1t is n mistake to think
that open windows will cool room.
Instead, In the early morning, after the
room Is busted and put In order, the
windows should be shut and the shades
drawn down and kept SO until the sun
has gone. When the sun shines on the
window most of the day, 1t should be
protected by an awning Of some sun
resisting color that will keep out all
stray sunbeams. An awning, even
with the shades lifted, will keep q
room comparatively dark and cool
When 1t is necessary to keep a sick
room cool, an excellent plan Is to open
the door and almost shut 1t as fast as
possible for about 20 or 80 times In sue
cession; nothing changes the air in a
room so quickly or so well. Then wet
cloths should be hung before the open
windows or anywhere where a draft
of dir may pass through them. Plenty
of cracked Ice Is necessary In hot
weather within reach of the patient,
and In the room quite a good sized
block of 1t In deep pan will help keep
the temperature down.-Helen Trip In

Mr.. HOyt Mason.

MIR. Hoyt Mason, formerly OF Athens,
died at the Wyoming State Hospital OF
pneumonia, May II, 1901.
Probably there are but few people Ia
this section who remember him for when
hardly out of his teens he caught the
"gold fever" and went overland to Call
fornia, soon after gold was discovered In
1849. After spending two or three
years 10 mining operations, with but
small success, he started for Idaho and
afterwards to Green river, Wyoming,
where he always made his home. When
he arrived at this place he Immediately
found employment with Mr.. s. |. Field,
who was one OF the earliest proprietors
of hotel and store there; serving him
so faithfully that when he concluded to
close out his Green River interests he
turned his store over to Mr.. Mason taking
his word Of honor as guarantee of pay
ment, and by his fair and honest dealings
he soon squared himself with Field and
prospered for long time, having been
Territorial auditor and postmaster for
many years. For the past few years
blessings had ceased to shower upon
him and he wished only to pass through
the "Golden Gate" to meet and await
had always cherished.
His remains were taken to Green River
the ID inst, where the funeral occurred
the following day attended by the entire
community Of saddened people, and,
as was found on his epitaph, "But for his
kind and generous disposition and timely
aid, many would have fallen In the battle
of life." After leaving this State in
NJ L. l..k
time came as far as New York only to be
driven back by the small pox scare.

Mother Cohen lived on Bunker street,
which Is in the heart of the Russian
Jew ghetto of Chicago. She had seen
better days, but not during the many
years she lived in this neighborhood,
says Unity. She lived In a room for
which she paid 50 month. She earn
ed her living by washing and other odd
Jobs. But she was 80 years of age.
She was taken with pneumonia, and
the glass of hot lemonade which a
neighbor brought her did not suffice.
She died In the ambulance on her way
to the County hospital In her little
room there was nothing found but a
well worn Yiddish Bible and one old
dress. Before she started she gave her
last % cents to little child, the last of
many pennies that her shrunkep hands
had placed In the hands Of the dreary,
weary little children Of the neighbor-
hood who had learned to love her. Her
death was followed by public move
ment among the children Of Bunker
street. They massed their pennies;
they solicited from door to door. They
tried to raise money enough to bury
Mother Cohen In some other place than
the potter's field. In this they failed,
but they raised money enough to buy
her shroud more elegant than any
robe she had worn in life. and the
plain pine coffin had flowers on 1t. One
Of her little pensioners broke his bank
and found $3.50 In 1t. He invested 1t
all In violets for Mother Cohen's coffin.
