A DESERVED KICKING.

During a recent conclave of rail-
road magnates in New Orleans some
thing reminded well-known general
manager of whimsical story. 81 am
afraid there is no particular moral to
this yarn" he said, ''but it happens
TO be true, and I'll give it to you for
what the newspaper boys call human
interest Not long ago the million
aire president of big manufacturing
concern up in Ohio made speech at
banquet, and to illustrate how SEEM
ing misfortunes may prove blessings
in disguise, he said that he got his
start in life through being kicked off
of an accommodation train in the
dead of winter. 1t was during the
hard times of the sos, he went on to
relate, and although he was skilled
mechanic and something of an en-
gineer, he found it impossible to pro-
cure work of any kind, even manual
labor. Things went from bad to
worse, and at last he found himself
stranded somewhere in southern Ohio.
He was stone broke and desperate,
and wanted to get to Dayton, where
he had heard vaguely there was some
thing doing in his trade SO one bit
Ter cold evening he slipped on board
an accommodation train, hoping to
be able to talk the conductor into
carrying him, but he failed ignomin-
iously. lie begged and pleaded, and
told his story with all the eloquence
of despair, but the ticket puncher re-
fused to melt. On the contrary, he
pulled the bell rope when he came
to the next station, grabbed the un-
happy young mechanic and propelled
him off the car with series of swift
kicks. lie landed in snow bank and
slept in a freight shed, but next day
his chance came. A span suddenly
gave way in new iron bridge over
a big creek at the edge of town and
the whole structure threatened to go
down before experts could arrive from
the builders foundry. AT that criti-
cal juncture the stranger jumped
into the breach, built temporary
supporting trestle out of logs and
crossties, and saved something like
$4,000 worth of work. OF course,
the bridge people were delighted, and
when they saw what a really scientific
job he had done they offered the
shabby engineer handsome position
in their establishment. From that
on his rice was rapid, and, in conclud-
ing the little tale, he laid especial
stress on the apparent hopelessness
of his position the night he was eject
ed from the train, and made the point
that one should neer give way to de-
spair IF that conductor had car
ried me on instead of kicking me off,
he said, L would have missed the
great chance of my life and might
be working now at the bench. / am
really irdebted to him for my start
in the world, and have often wished
that | could meet him and tell him
about it,

"This curious little narrative was
generally copied by the papers" con-
finued the railroad man, and one
day conductor in our service came
into my office in great excitement and
showed me clipping I'm the very
man that put that fellow off, he de-
clared, and after questioning him a
little as to dates and details con-
cluded he was correct about it. After
ruminating over the matter for a
week or two and reading the speech
until he knew it by heart, he con-
cluded j. would be wrong to deny the
millionaire an opportunity to ex-
press his gratitude, and accordingly
he applied for leave of absence to
pay him visit. / Igranted the leave,
got him pass and he departed in
high feather. As soon as he arrived
at his destination, according to his
own story. he went at once to the
mandatory, which was a great deal
yaster and more impressive than he
bad expected, and asksd to see the

AN INFORMAL CELEBRATION
Colonial Luncheon Was a Success, Bui
Not According TO Programme.


II is just about a year ago that
party Of Milwaukee women, says the
Sentinel, went junketing in the pri-
yate car belonging to the husband
of one of their number, a well-known
railroad president. Ever since that
time they have been celebrating the
event in various ways; and as in the
course of a somewhat prolonged jour
ney they naturally became pretty well
acquainted with each other, these eel.
ebrations have been of a most in
formal type, from which the society
reporters have been rigidly excluded.
There have been luncheons TO which
the guests came dressed like children
and were fed on bread and milk, later
supplemented by something more
substantial; there have been coaching
parties to the bay and picnics and
teas, The hostess on each occasion
striving TO make her affair more
unique than the one which had pre-
aeded it. The last Of these celebra-
tions came off on Washington's birth
day. The woman who gave ii scorned
to descend TO the frivolous depths in
which the others had reycled and in
which she, mildly protesting, had
taken part. Her party was to be
dignified and beautiful function be-
fitting the social position Of herself
and guests. And 20 she sent out invi-
tations to a colossal luncheon. Then
she closeted herself with a handy
seamstress for three days, and the two
of them evolved a wonderful colonial
gown of satin and brocade, with
looped-up oyerdress and rare old lace
outlining the square neck and fall
ing from The elbow sleeves. The day
of the luncheon the house was swept
and put in order, and the table in the
dining-room was decorated with vio-
lets, lilies and red roses in a patri-
otic design, while appropriate fayors
lay at each cover. With diamonds
flashing at her throat, her hair pow
dered and arranged in toweringp puffs,
stately as a queen, the hostess awaited
aer guests, seeing a vision Of similar
ly attired women gathered about her
table, served by the colored WATERS
she had hired for the occasion. The
carriages arrived almost simultane-
ously and the guests we're directed to
an upper chamber to remove their
wraps. They came down in body,
and at the door Of the drawing-room
their stately hostess greeted them,
They. too, were in colonial dress, but
not such as she had anticipated, for
each woman's face was stained dusky
red, each woman's form was wrapped
in a blanket, each woman stepped
softly in embroidered mocassins and
zach woman wore wig Of long, lank
black hair. The colonial dame in her
Jewels and satins sat at the head Of
band Of wild squaws who purposeIy
defed every law Of good form. And
that particular luncheonA has gone
down to history in one social set as a
function Of certain distinguishing

Every time Grover Cleveland makes public utterance of any kind it seems to be signal for a large number of Democratic news papers to begin to abuse him. We are not self-constituted apologists for Mir. Cleveland, for we cannot endorse his policy of refusing to obey the will of the majority of his party, but it is well to remember a few things that he has done. He was the first and only Democrat since the war who has brought enough strength to the party to carry the national election. He had the courage to place Southern Democrats in his Cabinet and keep them there, despite the protest of carping northern critics. He had the backbone to compel Great Bri- tian to cease her aggression on Venezuela, and by his Secretary of State, promulgated new Mon roe Doctrine" which was designed to ever hold the aegis of our pro- tection over the weaker republics of this continent. Compare this great victory for Americanism with the weak-kneed policy of McKin- ley with regard to Great Britain $ seizure of our territory i'll Alaska and Cleveland towers above the man from Ohio like giant above pigmy. And whatever bad qualities he possessed MT. Cleve- land certainly had the courage o1 his own convictions. Very few men could have stood the storm ol abuse which he drew. down on himself without weakening.

The Helena World is waging a war against newspapers that use wooden editorials, stolen, ill most instances, from other papers. This is a righteous cause and we hope he'll have all such editors feeling so mean that they will quit their evil ways. A paper filled with stolen editorials is always con temptible and sometimes amusing, especially when country editor ''swipes" a funny editorial, the point of which is only appreciated by city people, and runs it in his own 2x4 weekly. These journal istic misfts deserve all the abuse and disgrace that can be heaped upon them.
