while Pete and Jim took two cards
each. Hank Barber, with an avari-
cious tremor in his voice, called for
one and the parson drew three.
The betting began. Jake. after
peering cheerfully into his pat hand.
said his combination was worth five
bones if it was worth a cent. and
Pete and Jim saw him Hank re-
marked that he had a rising hand
and would risk three days pay to in
ject a little high life into the game.
and thereupon raised the bet. There
were several raises and the parson
poked in his chips with a reluctant
hand. After while it was up to
him to call big raise. and he pom
dered long upon the matter He said
that he considered it sinful. yet he
felt under the circumstances that
Moses himself would back that hand
to a Garrison finish. and he elevated
the bet with what worldly goods he
had on the table. Jake swallowed
hard lump in his throat and said
that while he thought that he had
them all beaten to froth, and that
it seemed like taking candy from a
sick child. yet he couldn't see his
way clear to do any more than make
good, The others followed his eX-
ample and the hands were shown.
'Jake exhibited a ful ,lia-
mond flush. hut Jim threw down a
deuce full and made a gesture for the
pot. He was stopped by Hank who
thought that his four milliners'
would land the treasure. The parsOn
admitted the possibility Of his being
confused as to the value of his hand.
yet he averred that in his sinful
youth. ont in California four kings
and an ace We're looked upon with
great reverence and were considered
pretty good.
There was an omnibus silence
broken only by the parson raking in
the pot. His face was i'll sad and
Densive when he said I assure YOU
gentlemen. that this money will be
used in q good cause and | shall
hope to see you al in church next
Sunday. You will all be err atty ben
Fitted by the lesson in the sermon
as the text will be on the prodigal
son who went a fast heat while he
lasted and thereby Filtered away his
substance"

JUST A COMMON SINNER.

He was Just "A Common Sinner"
But he'd buy a tramp n dinner.
And he'd sort o try to put him on his
feet.
Tho a fellow might be needy.
An his raiment rather seedy.
Yet he'd stop an visit with him on
the street
He made no more about it,
Wouldn't bray around the town and
shout it,
Yet he did heap to help his fell
low man.
When he found a fellow brother
N some easy way or other.
He would boost him up to organize
again.
When he'd spend money, why he'd
spent it,
Or he gave away or lent it.
Seemed eZ if the more he lost the
more he got,
Made all sorts of small dona ;rns
Dressed up all his poor relations,
An he siaked an orphan to a house
an lot.
You could never hear him spoutin'
Or a settin' round shoutin',
Bout the eycrlastin' wickedness of
things.
But he just went on fin lin.
Things to do and never mindiu'.
Much about the Grown" or Harp
with Golden Strings"
But that old dame Missus Grrnly.
Kinder noticed that on Sunday.
He was always at a picnic or 4 play,
Or perhaps for his diversion.
He would tackle an excursion,
And invite some friends TO PASS q
pleasant day.
SO she voted him the Devil,
And Z sinner on the level
And when old death came anu
caught him in the lurch
Though the people all adored him
All the hypocrites, they scored him
Just because he never joined the
proper church.

RESTRICTING DIVORCE.

The convention of the Episcopal
church at San Francisco has adopted
a rule forbiddding the marriage of
divorced people, except where the di-
vorce was granted for reasons which
existed before the marriage. If this
canon is sustained by the house of
deputies, to whom it must be sub
mitted before becoming finally the
law. of the church, the rule of the
church will amount, practically, to
an absolute prohibition of the marriage
of divorced persons, so far as the
Episcopal church is concerned. Here
tofore the innocent party to divorce
secured for adultery, has been per
mitted by the church to re-marry.
AS a condemnation of the growing
evil of promiscuous divorce. this &C,
ton of the authorities of the Episco-
pal church will merit the approval
of strict churcharians, but as the
number of these is constantly grow
ing smaller while the ranks of the
easy divorce advocates are receiving
constant accessions, it is not hard to
see that between sacrificing lheii
personal happiness and their fealty
to their church, the majority of Epis
copalians are likely to choose the lat
ter alternative should the occasion
for such decision arise.

The republican newspapers Of the

The republican newspapers Of the
state are earnest, not to say violent,
in their DISCLAIMERS Of responsibility
for the spirit which animated the
Helena mob that hung Brady. New
ertheless the point seems to be well
made If any of the republican pa
pers of the state can show an &C.
count of mob violence visited upon
an anarchist sympathizer which was
not printed with approving headlines
in their sheets, their disclaimers will
be entitled to consideration. Mean
while there is no evidence at hand
that any republican newspaper has
condemned the vicious attacks on w.
j. Bryan or have deprecated the eff
forts of republican governors to
shield the assassins of Goebel from
the law. 1t may sound somewhat
brutal, but plain truth is often brut-
al but it does appear as if the re-
publican newspapers of the country
have condemnation for assassination
only when a republican oiiice-hOlder
is the victim. Their attitude has
made it reasonable supposition
that were Bryan the victim of a
Cgolgosz they would credit the crime
as a result of Bryan's own teachings.

CITY OFFICIAL PAPER.
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 70, 1901
INDIAN RESERVATIONS.

United States Senator Quarles. or
Wisconsin, a member OF the lndlan
commission. announces that new
policy will be adopted in dealing
with the red men.
The tribal relations. says the SEN
ator. is a relic of barbarism at best
It keeps the Indian in state OF de-
tendency more than anything else
and teaches him habits OF idleness.
We propose to break it up. ana make
the Indian who is able bodied earn
his living as we'll as anybody else.
| know this will run contrary to the
wishes of the Indian agents and or
many powerful political influences in
congress. but the time is past when
these great regions can be excluded
from the rest Of the United States
and allowed to remain in unproIuc-
tive idleness. as the present system
of dealing with the Indians entails.
The Indians on the reservations IN
the south are getting into the ways
Of the white man. but the rel men OF
the north are not nearly so far adj
yanced. There is no progress under
the present system. The reserva-
lions should have been opened long
ago. and you can safely say that con
sress is going to change the Old pol
lev and place the Indians on differ
ent basis. We will take care of the
aged, the weak and the infirm, but
the able bodied Indian must do some
thing for living besides drawing
his government ratiOns. We have
found that there is no incentive for
the Indian to farm or to raise stock
when he will get living anyhow
from the government whether he
works or not. He has been given cat
tie by the government and trade
them for ponies. Other abuses have
bene found, and the committee is
now doing a practical work in actual
ly investigating these things tina
should have been done long before.
