''I was at a restaurant out in Ari- zona once," said a salesman for a well-known revolver corporation, "and was looking over the bill of fare. It gave better description of some features of the country than a whole volume. For ten cents you could get some delicious lamb chops and fried potatoes. But bread and butter were extra, while dish of milk toast was 15 cents. You see that meant that they raise cattle out there for their meat and not for dairy purposes. Mich cows are scarce and dear.

RIGHT MOTIVES
The Biggest Part of an Act Is the Intention That
 Prompts 1t.

A motive is that which moves a man, an internal reason pushing a man to a decision. Man as a respOn- sible being acts only from motives; a machine is made to go from out ward conpulsion. The mind may be in indecision. in doubt; various mo- tives appeal to the will; finally the mind is made up, and the man acts in view of a controlling GCtiTe. The moral quality of an act depends on the motive back of 1t, rot on the out ward form of the act. A man may pray in a feTvent manner, so that men may regard him as an Israel hay ing power with God, but if the prayer be offered in insincerity, if 1t be de signed to please the human ear, iS lacks every element of true prayer It is the motive that measures the life and the act.
 An outwardly good and shining act is a hollow thing unless it is begOt- ten from a true motive. A well-inten- toned and laundering life becomes covered with moral beauty if there be good intention back of it. We are not fitted to sit in final judgment on men around us, for we see only the outside of lives and acts. The biggest part of an act-the intentiOn-we cannot see. God alone can separate the tares from the wheat. We should be considerate in judging and slow to condemn, fer we lack the power to get at the intention. Many good man and true has been most griey- ously misjudged. many a deceiEer aP- plauded and acclaimed.
 Failures and mistakes may, under Gods penetrating gaze, be lifted ID and transfgured into shining sue cesses, if the intention be high and holy. A right intention with an uz- enlightened judgment is vastly better than a clear understanding but a moral nature that is not true to duty. Browning has in one stroke drawa the distinction between attitude and act:
 ''Tis not what man does which exaIts
 him, but what man would dO."
 And he writes again: -;
 What I aspired to be,
 And was not, comforts me"
 If man has fellowship with good motives. good intentions. he can stand upright even in Gods presence and say: ''I mean to do what Is right God sometimes takes the wal for the deed. David wished to build the tenn Ple. God forbade the work, but gave him this comfort: Tt was in thine heart to build it. Our motives are under our control, they are ours We must care for them, and see that they are clean and holy. We cannot bs omniscient, nor ail-compeiiing. but we may make sure of this: the in tention to please God, to be on inti- mate terms with duty. No man can finally commend himself unless he can honestly say: "I mean to do what is right in Gods sight. P. EacheS in Baptist Union.

FISH-CATCHING BIRDS.
And Other Birds That PUrIoin Their HRrd-Earned Frey from
 Them.

So much to see, if you have eyes to see, there is not a moment that some thing wonderful does not take place. At the juncture of the thoroughfare and island lake, on a dead pine, more than q hundred feet high, sat a white headed eagle, says Forest and Stream. In the air large fsh-hawk was sailing over the water, locking for his dinner two or three hundred feet below him. What penetrating orbs of vision nature has endowed this bird with! There, he gives his lightning like shot to tEe wa ter, seems almost submerged, only to reappear with four-pound pike in his talons. Slowly he rises, going toward the woods, where he hopes to enjoy his well-earned meal: but he has reckOned without his host The king of birds has been watching his every movement, and if found successful is in readiness to exact that tribute which the strong CT always demands and compels from the weak.
 Almost as quick as thought the eagle is pursuing the hawk, and for little while a merry chase it is. But the eagle is the master, and the hawk in- stinctive.y feels it, as, after a sudden, violent swerye, only just to evade the terrible claws of the now enraged eagle, he drops the prize and slowly flies to the other side Of the lake.
 There is no need for haste now, as the master was after tribute, not the hawk. Payment having been made by relinquishing valuable property the eagle once more displays his wonder ful activity by catching the pike before it strikes the water, and then as leisure lr flies to cover to eormandize.

MOST PRECIOUS MANUSCRIPT.
The Handwriting of Milton Treas ured as the Gem of All
 English Poets. v

We have spoken of the Milton book at Trinity as being the most precious manuscript of English literature in the world, says Edmund Gosse, in At lantic, and the longer we consider it's constitution the less likely we are 10 dispute this claim. Nothing Of Shakes peare's works remains in lis own hand writing; nothing important, so far as we know of Chaucer's, or of SpeHser's. Of later poets, indeed, we possess man. uscripts of more CT less value and in terest. But ill no other case that 1 can recall, ancient or modern, has it been our privilege to examine the sheets in which, through several years Of the highest creative intensity, 6 great poet has left on record tEe very movement of his mind and the hesitaticrs and se- lections of his art in the act Of prCduc- ton. When that poet is Milton, the most splendid artist in verse whom the English race has produced, the impor- tance Of the document stands revealed beyond any need of emphasis CT in- sistence. Now, in the Trinity m&nu- script, everything is the unqucstioned handwriting of Milton, except some of the sonnets, which have evidently been copied by successive amanuenseS.

 Spraying as m Investment.
 It is about as hard to convince some orchardists that they should spray as it is to convince others that they should insure their houses against fire. The two acts are in a way similar. Ths expense may be looked upon in either case as insurance. The man tha1 sprays his orchard may never sec thas he has escaped disaster. He may never appreciate the good he receives fss1m spraying. His enemies are so smaH that he does not see them app Oa6s and perish with the poison that has been placed in their way.

WILL PLAY BASKETBALL.
Young Ladies Of Anaconda Are Organ
ling a Team.
Especial to Inter Mountain>

Especial to Inter Mountain.)
Anaconda, Oct. 24.-The announcement
that Butte is to have basketball team
has aroused much interest among
the young ladies of Anaconda, and steps
are being taken to organize a team in
this city.
In fact the organization has almost
been completed and the ladies are en-
deavoring to secure place in which to
play. Turner hall will probably be the
place selected, and will soon be fitted
up with the necessary appurtenances
The majority of the young ladies who
intend playing have learned the game in
the past, so there will be but few diff
culties to overcome in the way of break
ing in novices. Judging from the pres
ent interest taken in the game, it bids
fair to rival in popularity bowling and
billiards, to which games the young la
dies of Anaconda are exceedingly partial.
Athletics are gaining in prestige, and
rapidly, as would be gathered from the
fact that physical culture club has al
ready been organized and is holding
weekly meetings, at which the members
are taught the advantages in such exer-
cises as club swinging. calesthenics,
dumb bell exercises. bag punching and
the various other feats that go to make
up the work of an athlete.

TRANSFORMATION SCENE.
How Electricity Will Be Distributed in
Anaconda in the Future.

Especial to Inter Mountafn)
Anaconda, Oct. 24.-When the great
concentration building at the new Washoe
smelter works is completed the electric
current which drives the wheels of the
street cars operated upon the streets of
Anaconda will be generated there.
The electric lights furnished the citi-
zens Of the town will also receive their
vital force from the same source; SO in
fact the electric systems of Anaconda
will undergo a transformation, the old
water plant will be practically aban-
doned, or possibly held in reserve in the
event of an emergency.
But emergencies are being carefully
provided for in the construction of This
gigantic power plant at the concentra tor
building. The engineers who designed
them overlooked nothing; they have
been careful to see that the breaking of
any part of the machinery which might
occur will not seriously hamper the up
Grafton of the balance.
AS stated once before the engines to
be used in this part of the plant are
about the most gigantic ever set up in
any part of the country. 1t is said there
are few power plants in the country so
we'll equipped as this one.
skilled mechanic who came here
from Illinois recently to work at the new
plant, was amazed at the enormous size
of the engines, which We're just being
installed.
II must say" he said, 'tllat in all my
life I have never seen anything like
them. I have been employed around
some of the largest power plants in Hi
nois, but none of them can begin to COM
pare with this. I am simply astonished
to find such enormous engines out in this
country
The three engines in the concentration
are equipped with drive wheels measur-
ing 40 feet in diameter, each having a
capacity of 5000 horsepower, or a COM
bined force of $4,000 horsepower.
Only the machinery of the concentra tor
and the electric motors are to derive
their power from these engines

"Tha Girl From Paris"

Especial to Inter Mountain.)
Anaconda, Oct. 24.-Edward Rice's pop
ular musical comedy, 1.-THE Girl From
Paris" will be seen at the Margaret
theater Sunday next, and will be pre-
scented by the New York company in the
same elaborate manner as seen at the
Herald Square theater 800 times, from
where it was compelled to move to fill
it's engagements in Philadelphia, where
for seven weeks it crowded the Chestnut
Street theater. 1.-The Girl From Paris
has been one of the most pronounced
successes, and the reasons for it are that
it is unlike any other offering of the
kind. and as the public has been surfeit-
ed with sameness in this class of enter
tainment when a performance as un-
conventional was presented. it was nat
ural that 1t should meet with expressed
approval. In addition to the charm of
novelty, the happy musical comedy
has story that is consistent and
humorously told, witty dialogue, ludf-
crous situations and incidents. catchy
music and beautiful ensembles. The
scenic pictures are elaborate and
the costumes magnificent. There Is a
large chorus OF so voices and an aug
mented orchestra.
