BACK FROM ABROAD
LOUIS BEST AND FAMILY RE-
TURN FROM THEl-. TOUR.
A SWING ROUND THE CIRCLE
PRINCIPAL Points Of Interest in Amer
lea Visited-He Gossips Of Gay Capt.
tails and Celebrated Scenes
Trip Greatly Enjoyed.

Louis Best, of the Centennial Brewing
company, has just returned from six
months tour abroad, his fourth trip to
Europe.
An interview by an Inter Mountain re-
porter with Mr.. Best disclosed many In
teresting facts relative to conditions In
Europe. ..,
Mr.. Best left this city accompanied by
his wife and two sons, Louis E. and Ar
thur c.. April 3, and reached Naples,
Italy, April 26. There. he says. he found
the largest percentage of poverty
stricken people Of any place in his trav-
els.
From Naples Mr.. Best Travelled north
ward through Italy, touching the lead
inx points Of interest, including far
famed Monte Carlo. A trip through Hol-
land and then to Carlsbad Springs fol-
lowed. At the latter place Mr.. Best
spent several weeks recuperating. At the
time Of his leaving over $4,000 patients
were awaiting themselves of the wonder
full curative properties of the waters.
After leaving Carlsbad a tour was
made embracing the most of the lead
ing cities and historical places of Aus
tria. Switzerland. France and England.
The homeward voyage from Liverpool,
August 80, was made on the new Celtic,
one of the very largest vessels that plies
the Atlantic. This was her second trip
across the ocean.
Only short while was spent at the
an-American exposition, there being but
little to interest the party excepting the
electrical display. and of that. Mr.. Best
seemed to think he was unable to give
even a faint conception because of it's
bewildering beauty.
The noise of Niagara was succeeded by
n more tranquil scene, and sight en-
joyed with far keener relish. Mr.. Best's
alma mater. Notre Dame. Indiana. which
he had left Is years ago. His two sons
were left there to finish their educa-
ton. having already spent three years
in that institution.
Mr.. Best and party enjoyed the trip
hugely and returned to Butte in the best
Of health and spirits.

how he was trying to undermine you.
Time proved him a thief and scoun-
drel, but, peace to his asnes, he died
like gentleman, after all, with two
Indian bullets through him, and just
as the rescue came. He had time to
make full confession, and it was ell

"The fellow who gave the tip to Bird
sails people?" said old Folsom at this
juncture, raising bandaged head from
his daughters lap. "Who was he,
really?'
''Burleigh knew all the time, and I
suspected the moment I heard Miss
Folsom's description, and was certain
the instant 1 laid eyes on him. He was
a rascally captain cashiered at Yuma
the year before, and I was judge advo-
cate of the court"
"And Mrs. Fletcher" asked Pap
poose, extending one hand to Jess,
while the other smoothed the gray
cur,s of her fathers forehead.
"Mrs. Fletcher was his deserted wife,
one of those women who have known
better days"
The ranch is still there, or was 20
years ago, but even then the Sioux were
said to raise more hair in the neigh
borhood than Folsom did cattle. The
old trader had been gathered to his
fathers, and Mrs. Hal to herS, for she
broke down utterly after the events OF
'6S. Neither Pappoose nor Jessie cared
to revisit the spot for some time, yet,
oddly enough, both have done 50 more

sprang from the ambulance, and pres

Some people said Hal Folsom had no
business to marry an Indian girl be-
fore his wife was dead three years, but
all who knew Lizette said he did per-
fectly right; at least Pappooso dii and
that settled it. AS for Loring-- But
that's--enough for one story.

POPULATION OF INDIA.
Reliable Census Returns Show That
Famines and Disease Have
Prevented Increase,

Calcutta, March 16.-Complete cen
sus returns give the population of In
dia as 294,o0o,o00, an increase in the
last decade of 100000. Deducting
the population of the Baluchistun
Shaustaks, Chin Hills and Silkim ter
ritory, enumerated for the first time,
net increase is shown of only IA
per cent, which is due to improved
census methods. Thus, the popula-
ton is for the first time stationary.
Owing to the famines, mortality from
disease and great decline in the
birth rate, the native states show ex-
cessive declines. These results were
quite unexpected.

THE LAST LAUGH
1t Was the Best and Was Enjoyed by
the Man who Owned
the Lawn.

There's another case of the man
who laughs last" remarked practical
joker the other day, pointing to a tur-
nip patch in front of private resi-
dence, says the Washington Sta'.
81 don't understand where rha laugh
comes in" admi tied the listener.
'Of course, you don't, but do, and
the laugh is on me. I thought l was
playing joke on my friend, whit occu-
pies the house, but he has II e lrnips
and have to buy mine. SOM, tiIae ago
he wanted grass and clover seed to
plant in front of his house, anti like
many other people he thought the ag-
ricutural department supply would
make a better showing than ally he
could buy in a store. I volunteered to
get the seed, but I conclude 1 would
put up job on him."
"And couldn't he tell the difference
between seed for turnips AMI seed for
grass?" interrupted the hearsr.
'He thought there was something
about the seed that was NIT exactly
right, but, not being a farm :r he was
not certain. I told him the seed had
been brought from the Philip pines,
and he expected to see son ething in
the grass line different from sny he had
ever seen before. Soon after the seed
had sprouted and the little leaves be-
gan to show themselves M friends
suspicious were aroused, and he made
inquiries about the neighborhood.
None of his neighbors could tell what
was growing on his parking and per-
sisted in telling him what a beautiful
grass plot he would have some day.
The time finally came when the tur.
nips could be seen, and my frie nd en-
joyed the joke"
Sand, of course, you also en- Joy ed it ?"
the joker was asked.
''Not much" he answered, "f,r I am
now buying some of the turn ps at
least twice week when I might just
as well have had them in MI own
yard''

AND MIDNIGHT.

The flowers know the story
OF what the moonlight sees,
AT midnight, at midnight,
Beneath the forest trees.
All day they stir and whisper
And toss their hends in glee;
Of moonlight and midnight
They know the mystery.
For all too dull are mortals,
Their senses all too slow,
In moonlight, at midnight,
TIC catch the passing show.
But all the flowers know it;
They wake when mortals dream.
In moonlight, at midnight,
They see the fairies CLEAN.
They see the mystic dances
Of elves and spirits gay.
In moonlight, at midnight,
How merrily they play!
The beauty of the flowers
Is won in hours like these.
In moonlight, at midnight,
Beneath the forest trees.
