THE FLAG OF HOPE.

Thore's flag in the sky. there's a banner
 that waves Ger the passionats march down to pas
 slonless groves; And it lives for the deeds that are done
 in the right; And It leads blythe love that gives wisdom
 its might; It flies OCT the living, 1t floats o'er the
 dead Forever advancing. far-gleaming ahead. And the millions who set it afiame in the
 sky, By lefty ideals set deathless and high, Know the stars of its glory, the bars of its
 fame, Make the bright Flag of Hope en all-con-
 quering name! It rides OCT the crescent, 1t mounts OCT
 the cross, The flags of all nations would droop at its
 loss, And there never was soldier who died
 on the field. And there never was savior who lived for
 to shield, And there never was harvester glad of his
 yield, Nor even a. man who had power to wield. But saw it's folds flashing by night and by
 day, Inspiring. compelling. and showing the
 way. A symbol of Heaven. till the last moan
 shall cease, Mans bright Flag of Hope and sign of
 sweet peace! Look aloft there 1t floats through the sun
 shine and storml And its message is kindly. its promise is
 warm. Truth. honor, right. justice, fair play and
 fine love, FN
 ing above. Tn its light has humanity victory won It is thine, in its name let thy good work
 be done! Let it wave OCT thee trusting, and wave
 OCT thee true, Though humble the helping thy hands find
 to do; And that flag on thy sight shall not ever
 be furled While there's hope in one heart. and
 God rules 0 CT the world. Make 1t thine! Keep it pure! Set its staff
 mid the stars! With thy life write the thoughts that
 should blaZOn its bars, Point it out to thy comrade when sorrow
 is near, For its beauty shines best through the lens
 of a tear. Make 1t thine for the valor that fears to do
 wrongi Make 1t thine for the mercy that flows like
 a song! Thine for pleasure. right-livins, well-wish-
 inS, far faith, Not a symbol of battle. blood-covered
 wrath. Ger life's high endeavor, long may 1t

THEATRICAL SCENERY.
Stage Pictures Are Now Painted Upon Tough Brown Paper
 for Portability.

Except as regards the part that mechanism plays the scenic artists of Italy are the best in the world, as ef- fective painters, and the fact is SC well recognized iii these days cf almost all scenery being done by ccEtraet-a resident scenic artist is getting 10 be a rarity-tbat 9 great trade of this sort has sprung up betwen the painters of Italy and the managers everywhere.
 And th.1 is particularly 60 Gs regards companies thlt come to Amsr.ca. So heavy has bs2n the cost of transporting tons Of scenery, and so oEcc;ing have the customs officials been CT fate years, that the generality of managers al enc time found it cheaper 10 have new scenes painted after they arrived But the Italian system has largely done away with all this, for il includes the painting of the scenery on large sheets of a peculiarly tough sort Of brown paper, these being mum bsred and joined together with unerrirS accuracy A recent grand opera production in this country depended scenieally upon these sheets of paper alone. and not even the oldest Playgoer iH the house could dis tirguish any Peculiarity-
 Of course, the sheets are spread upon canvas in the ordinary way and 'toucher-up" is required after they are spread, but the system is izIrenss- ly useful when Q new production is taken from one capital to another at a great distance, and the Italian artists are sending their sheets to managers all over the world

A TEST OF OPPORTUNITY.
Measure the Opportunities God Places Before Us.

The opportunities of life are not to be measured simply by the facilities they offer for making money, or attaining knowledge, or reaching position They are also to be estimated by the avenues they open for self-expression. Each of us has his own endowments, ideas and personal force. We do not realize the best ideal of life unless there is oppOr- tunity for us to exert these powers and to create our impression upon the world, and do our own work in the world through them. We know a col lege professor who made fortune iD five years. He deliberately turned his back on his opportunity of adding largely to it, and gave up his business career to take college position on a small salary. The reason was that he did not believe that his money-mGking faculty was his highest endowment vestigation and for teaching that should have expression. Already his name is quoted as one of the principal authorities in his department. That IS an extreme ease, but it illustrates the truth that the opportunity that gives you a chance for doing the particular work that you are best fitted to do, and to exert your personal force upon the world through it, may be a choicer opening than one that seems to carry with il the prizes of money and position that men so greatly prize. A man is never happier or more useful than when he is fulfilling his distinctive mis- sion through the exercise Of his dis tinctive powers.-Boston Watchman.

the story of the Cross to the negroes of the island of St. Thomas, having heard of their great misery and deg radiation.
 When he arrived at the island, he learned that it was against the law for any person but a slave to preach to the slaves. It was the policy of the planters to keep the blacks in ig- neTance and superstition.
 Shortly after this the governor of St. Thomas received a letter signed Abraham Bininger, in which the writer begged urgently to become a slave for the rest of lis life. promising to serve as slave faithfully, provided he could give his leisure time to preaching to his fel'owslaves. The governor sent the letter 10 the king of Denmark. who was So touched by it that he sent an edict err towering Abraham Bininger to tell the story of the Messiah when and where he chose-to black or white, bond or free.
 It is m easy, comfortable thing now to profess Christianity. There was a time when it brought persecution and contempt. The Christian then had reward for his self-sacrifce which we have lost in our easy religious lives. Following the Divine Master in fcwery paths is not final proof of Christian worth. Thomas Kempis felt this and prayed that he might be counted wOr- thy to suffer something for Him-and sacrifices may be made upon home al tars as truly as under persecution and in the flames and agonies of the stake.

MARVELLOUS MEMORIES.

s. s. Prentiss could repeat many of Shakespeare's tragedies and comedies.
 Lord Macauley could have restored Paradise Lost" had something oc- cured to destroy every copy of it.
 John G. Carlisle can dictate a speech of 10000 words, read it over once and repeat it word for word month later.
 Mir. Beverlhge spoke from Roscoe ConkGng's desk, and there is potbinp in common between the two except trick of memory.
 Lamar could repeat a speech of 10,- 900 words without halt. Sumner was even more gifted in this respect, and so is Carl Schurz.

No Time for Dey-Dresms

The persistent man never stops to consider wheeler he is succeeding or not The only question with him is how to push ahead, to get little further along. a little nearer his goal. Whether it lead lover mountains, riv- CTS or morGsses, he must reach it. Every other consideration is sacrificed to this one dominant purpose.

ANACONDA MINE CLOSED.
To Much Ore That SmeIters Cannot
Handle It.

Butte. Jan. 23.-All mines of Ana
conda will shut down tomorrow and
remain closed until Saturday. This is
made necessary by the fact that in
every stope in the mines, every bin
in the Butte and Anaconda and all
cars between the two places are full
of ore and ever bit of the storage ca
pacity is full. There is no room lett
to store the ore even if mined and
a shut down of a few days is unavoid-
able. The great amount of ore on
hand is due to the fact that for some
time repairs have been proceeding on
the Anaconda flume, and there has
not been enough water to run the
smelter to it's usual capacity. 1t
was determined today to stop the ore
production until the smelter can
catch up.

to me and in the majority of in

mail arrives in the morning it is
opened by my secretary's staff and
sorted into three groups-letters from
personal friends and relatives, those
bearing on state affairs, and thirdly,
begging letters and petitions-and
make it my business to make myself
aware of the contents of each. This of
itself is no light task when you take
into consideration the fact that each
mornings mail consists of some hun
dreds of letters. So that those who
say mine is an idle life malign me-"
Asked his opinion on the South At
rican affairs, he smilingly shook his
head and refused to be drawn out,
but he said that he should always re-
member with the deepest affection
and regard the heroic conduct of the
troops in the campaign.

respondent. What is your royal high

ingly. There is nothing like better

only thing which takes me out of
myself and makes me forget the re-

There was one more remark that
the prince made which will be of in
terest, as it bears on the America s

so much interest in yacht racing since
the time of the Britannia, he openly
confesses that there are few things

Causes of the act united must ap-
pear on the face of the complaint to
belong to only one of these classes
and must affect all tie parties to the
places Of trial and must be separate
ly stated and numbered. A provision
is made that contract express or
implied and injuries to property may
be united in the same complaint, and
any relief to which ,ae plaintiff may
be entitled may be had by uniting
them.
In an action for malicious arrest
and prosecution it may be united with
an action for either injury to charac-
Ter or person.
This bill is proposed amendment
to section 672, chapter 2, title 6, part
, of the code of civil procedure.
Under the existing laws applying
to rules of procedure in criminal and
civil cases instructions are given to
the jury by the court after the ar
guments are made by the lawyers in
the case. Two bills introduced in
the senate by Senator H. l.. Myers
provide amendments to the sections
of the civil and penal codes bearing
upon the subject. The amendments
are to reverse the provisions of the
law now in force and let the lawyers
argue their cases alter the instruc-
tions to the jury have been passed up
on and settled and the court has
charged the jury.
Senator H. l.. Myers as bill in
form of preparation providing county
treasurers to publish semi-annually in
a newspaper a statement of all licens-
money collected by the counties.
Prior to 1895 such law was in
effect and this bill is for the purpose
of reinstaaing the old law. The SEN
ator will also introduce a bill requir-
ing county treasurers to publish an
account of all personal taxes collect
ed. The present law requires only
the official publication of taxes on
real estate.
Money in the hands of the state,
counties and municipalities are not
subject to attachment under the law
now in force in the state and bill
which will be introduced Monday by
Senator w. F. Myer provides that the
attachment of such money may he
had.
This provision was omitted" said
Senator Myer, "as a great many nec-
essary clauses in other bills have
been overlooked in the process of
former legislation. l do not think
there will be any opposition to the
amendment"

SLAPPED THE SHERIFF's FACE.
Mrs. Nation Handled the County Of.

Wichita, Jan. 21-Mrs. Nation
caused a new sensation tonight 1y

rough handling generally. Mrs.
Nation was at the union depot in
the act of buying ticket to a neigh
boring town, when the sheriff pulled
her sleeve, saying: You are my
prisoner madame" Mrs. Nation turn
ed her face about, and seeing Sheriff
Simmons, gave him a violent slap
across the face. She followed this
up Dy taking hold of his ears with
her two hands and wringing at them
viciOusly. The union depot was full
of women, who began screaming and
tremendous excitement eventuated us

Struggled with his powerful antagon-
list. A policeman came to his res

saunders they succeeded in picking

rapidly to the county Jail.
She insisted on being placed in the
private room for women, but Sheriff
Simmons was in no humor to provide
her with luxuries and put her in Il
cell in the steel street where she
began to pray and sing hymns.

Trouble Ahead for Clark at Washing
ton.
Washington, Jan. 21.-There is no
small amount of interest shown in the
course which the senate will pur
sue when Senator Clark, of Montana,
presents himself at the bar of the
senate to be sworn in.
The senate is exceedingly jealous
senate committee on privileges and
elections has by a unanimous vote
held that Mr.. Clark was chosen to the
senate by the legislature of Montana
in the winter of 1899 by an almost
unparalleled use of money.
Bribery of such scale, according
to the testimony of scores or witness
es, among whom were Mr.. Clark and
his son. and their most intimate
friends and business associates, was
never known before in the history
of the politics of this country or any
other.
It is the intention of the republi.
can senators to put Mr.. Clark on the
gridiron once more when he asks to
be sworn in.
The procedure agreed upon is sim
liar to that followed in the case of
Brigham H. Roberts, of Utah, before
the house last session. When Mr..
Clark steps up to take the oath, a
member of the elections committee
will object on the ground that he is
not a fit person to occupy a seat ir
the senate and the report of the com.
mittee in his case last session will
be made the basis OF charges against
him.
The matter will then be referred tC
the committee for report. 1t is MOI
expected that the committee will be
unanimous then, as now, as to Mr.
Clark's coming into the senate. The
democrats are almost solidly for him
and will vote both in committee ard
senate. The poll of the republican
side of the senate is said to nave
discovered about five senators whl
can be surely counted for Clark or
the final question of seating him
These are ElEirc and Scott of West
Virginia; Jones and Stewart of Ne
vada, and Mason of Illinois.

Exchange Shots-Robber Gets Safely
Away.

Butte, Jan. 23.-The Yellowstone
saloon, at the corner of Wyoming and
Galena streets, was the scene of u
desperate battle between holdup
and a bartender at $3.50 o'clock yes
terday morning. The thief entered
the saloon while the bartender sat
doing near the stove and attempted
to carry away the cah register. The
bartender aroused himself, assailed
the burglar, who pushed a gun
against the bartenders stomach and
fired. The ball struck a watch in
the vest pocket and flattened out.
The bartender fired at the man but
missed him and the thief made his
escape.
