MASSEY ON THE STAND.

Sam Massey, the defendant, WAS the
first witness introduced by the defense,
and gave his version of the affair as fol
lows:
The first time the day of the killing
that | saw Vaughan was in Rosentha's
saloon. Met Harry Smith as he was
going to dinner; asked him to go in at
Rosentha's and get lunch and glass Of
beer; saw Vaughan there; asked him to
have something, but he declined. The
lunch came in and we ate and drank at
the back part of the counter. Vaughan
walked back where we were, and called
me towards the front, Here Massey
told of the conversation between him
and Vaughan. Vaughan accused him of
having been with girl named Pauline.
and seemed to be jealous | said, "sure
ly you wouldn't fall out with me about
that girl" Vaughan said Somebody
told me you was with her, and man
who would mistreat ME that way is
id ---." I said, "a man who
would tell you that is a ID --."
Vaughan then struck at me with his
pistol, but threw up my hand and it
fell to the floor. Officer Russell had
come in while we were talking and was
standing by the stove. He picked up
the pistol, stuck it in his scabbard, and
said, "There is no use of having any
| trouble" Russell and / went out on
the street; stopped in front of Wiley's
saloon and talked about fifteen minutes.
| Saw Vaughan walk out of Rosenthal's
and go towards town. Went back into
Wiey's; Harry Smith was there. Smith
went out, and | followed. We walked
together up the street, and | invited him
into Rosenthal's to get glass of BEER

from the bar about two steps, and
started to pull his pistol. had ordered

to my mouth; thought Vaughan was go,

sleeve, and asked him to go into the

Vaughan; | don't want you to have any

BRIGHT IDEAS OF
MONTANA EDITORS
EComn Nails"

1t must be apparent by everyone that
cigarette smoking by small boys in this
town is on the increase and that in spite
of so-called cigarette law and high Ii
cense there small boys who wish to APP
no difficulty in securing cigarette papers
and tobacco if not the cigarettes them
selves. close inspection of the fingers
of the youths of this town whose sole
and only business seem to be to do moth
ing whatever, and whose ages range
anywhere from eleven to nineteen years,
would demonstrate that the nails and
cuticule of the inside of the first and
second fingers of the right hand and per-
haps of the left as we'll, are stained
yellow with nicotine. The sickly smell of
the cigarette made out of third class to-
bacco and inferior paper is always very
apparent when crowd of boys, of the
class mentioned above, is passed. The
youth leans against the door post or the
wall of soma building and with a nom
chalent air puffs away at coffin nail'
and tries to make everybody think he is
man. After a few years use of the
cigarette he gets a sickly tinge to his
complexion, and while he generally leans
more both against buildings and in the
back, he still fails to look like his ideal.
man. The only way to stop the cigar
cite habit is for parents to look closer
after the morals of their children and
the children, for by their actions these
youths are yet Of tender intellect, if they
wish to become ideal men, to abandon
the evil habit or they will only develop

A Cheap Blunder.

A member of the Missoula board of
health sent man to the smallpox hos
pital. who was suffering from light at
tack of measles. The man was detained
at the hospital. which was right and
proper, for twenty-five days. The man
now demands 5000 for his enforced de-
tention in place where he might have
contracted contagious disease, but
fortunately did not. The city being re-
sronsible for the acts of its agents should
pay the most reasonable demand. then
it should collect from it's agent the
amount paid. Two hundred dollars for a
blunder is cheap.-Missoulian.

HUNGRY FOR HOME APPLES.
What Our Soldiers in the Philippine,
Want Most Of All.


1T IS no wonder our soldiers in the
Philippines think an American apple
food for the gods. when you look at the
thing those FiliDinos call an APPLE" said
one of the chiefs Of the department of
agriculture. as he held up for inspection
an article that looked for all the world
like a lemon that had been left on a
picnic ground. 1t was as fine a specimen
when put on one of the government
transports for shipment to the United
States as could be found in a Philippine
orchard, but it was of a decidededly per-
ishable nature, and even had it been
judiciously packed could not have stood
the long voyage without serious damage.
When it arrived few worm holes and
a small core attached to a bit Of skin
were all that remained to tell the story.
But the fact remains" resumed the
scientist. as he tenderly laid the remains
in his scrap Nasket. that it never was
more than a haunting reminder Of our
luscious fruit. and probably was never
dignified by the name of apple until
some ofllour soldiers. with visions of the
knotty little crab apples of some parts
of our country dubbed it that. In fact,
it is little more. even in its prime state.
than a crab apple of an inferior sort.

CAMPANARI'S THEORY.
relieves That Seclusion Makes Singer
Sought After,

Guiesseppe Campanari, the we'll known
baritone, was told number Of years ago
when he first began to sing in opera at
the Metropolitan Opera house, New
York. that no opera singer could main
| tain his hold on the public If he remain
ed in America for the entire year. The
theory given was that the singer lost
| the charm that absenc> and return are
supposed to give to singers in public
musical life. But Mr.. Campanari re-
manned in America, for he has a theo-
ry of his own, which Is that singer
| should live as quietly as possible, APP
pearing before his audience to do his
| best. and then returning to his home.
His belief is that 1t is n~lther distance
nor absence, but seclusion, that lends
enchantment, and that being too we'll
known personally by a large circles des-
troys the illusion which should be MAIN
tanned by those singing romantic roles.
Mr.. Campanari carries his views into
practice, and in his every day dress is
unrecognized by a majority of the en-
ployes at the Metropolitan Opera house.
in spite of the many seasons he has sung
there.
After assisting in a recent presenta-
ton Of II Pagliacci." which was follow
ed by other opera he went into the house
to hear the second part of the perform
ance. An employee. finding he had no
seat coupon. called him sharply to task
and ordered him from position he had
taken behind one of the boxes.
Approaching the situation the sing
err meekly started to go. whereupon
lady in one Of the boxes started up and
told the usher who it was that he was
SO rudely addressing.
You only did your duty" said Mr..
Campanari, in calm response to many
apologies; and he heard the rest OF the
opera from behind the scenes.
In his quiet home on West Forty-sev-
enth street Mr.. Campanari devotes his
spare time to his three children. two
girls and a boy. directing their educa-
ton with the assistance of Madame
Campanari, who was well known Ger
man opera singer before her marriage.
The younger of the daughters has a
voice and bids fair to follow In her faith
er's footsteps. The son has taken up the
study of the violin.
During long tours, while his colleagues
are sight seeing in the cities visited. Mr..
Campanari remains at his hotel and
rests in order to be fresh for evening.
On his return from an extended journey
he always has a big bundle of views,
which, he wittily explains, "are photo
graphs that have seen In famous
places"

THE SONG OF THE cYN1c.

Man born OF woman has few days,
And they are full Of trouble:
Then, with a woman in the case,
His troubles always double.
1t thus is seen that all our cares
Are traceable to woman;
And yet We can't escape her snares-
To tumble Is but human.
Man born of woman has few days
There ne'er was statement truer-
And fate contrives In divers ways
To make those few days fewer.
On every side the microbes Turk
To shoot their poison through him:
The doctors then get in their work
Between the two they do him.
He takes a ride, the trains collide
And into giblets dash him.
He stays at home, building falls
There's something bound to smash him.
He rows, and some one rocks the boat
In fun. of course-to drown him;
Wherever he turns some idiot
Is lurking round to down him.
A festive cyclone blows him up, y
He falls into well-hole:
He dallies with tn trimming cup
Anu gets Oopeu IN q nell-nOle. .,
He meets a live and sizzling wire,
Whose juices quickly fill him.
BY shipwrecked dire, or flood, or fire,
There's something sure to kill him.
But if by chance he should escape
From all these woes that trail him,
Grim death assumes another shape
And that can scarcely fail him.
Should he the gauntlet safely run
And footpads do not slug him.
Some lunatic behind gun
BY accident will plug him.
OF all the crazes that abound
This is the most accurst one
The Juggling of cannon round
Is certainly the worst one.
But there are fools in every place,
This world is but a bubble.
Man born of women has few days
And they are full of trouble.
