AFRAID OF BANKS.
Wealthy Indian Rancher Is Robbed
of $4,000.

Butte, Mont, Nov. ga special to
the Miner from Missoula says that one
of the most sensational robberies that
has ever occurred in the history of
Western Montana was enacted at Plains
Saturday, news OF which has just
reached this city.
A wealthy Flathead Indian named
Machell was robbed Saturday night of
$4,000 in cash, the money consisting
of 500 bills and 500 gold pieces.
Machell was visitor in Plains Sat-
urday night, and during his absence at
about 10 o'clock at night man dressed
as squaw visited his home on Camas
prairie and engaged in conversation
with MachelPs squaw. Mrs. Machell
noticed that the visitor was not an
Indian squaw, but white man, as he
could not talk good Flathead, but she
did not suspect anything wrong at first.
Finally she saw two men run from An
outbuilding carrying something with
them. Then it was that her suspicious
were aroueed. as the wealth had been
stored in that building.
The robbers jumped on their horses,
which were near by, and the one that
had been talking to her joined them,
and the three rode hurriedly away. As
soon as she reached Plains with the
news, several of the white citizens of
that'place accompanied Machell to his
home to find if the story was true,
which was proven on their arrival
there. A score of young Indinas start
co out to try to locate the robbers, but
no clew has been discovered.
Machell is the wealthiest fullblood
Indian on the reservation. He has
three herds of cattle and horses, and
was always known to have money. but
few people knew that he kept it at
home. 1t develops, however, that the
old Indian was afraid to trust his money
in the bank, and kept it in an old
trunk in an outbuilding at his home.

HOMES LACKING TASTE.

Beauty and Restfulness Sacrificed to
Useless Things and Rric. a. Brac.
The art of house furnishing is little
known in this country, especially
among the vulgar. rich, says woman
whose home Is known for its beauty
and restfulness. The last thing that
seems to be considered in their ar
rangement Is the convenience of the
occupants. To Judge merely from ap-
pearances, one would think that they
We're designed to serve as showrooms
for furniture and bric-a-brac and fancy
work, and that the inmates were only
there on sufferance, because they had
to have some refuge from the wind
and weather and no other domicile
could be found. "Most women" our
authority observes, treat their homes
as storehouses or museums, and the
more things they can crowd into them
the better they are pleased. They pre-
fer to have the things where they can
be seen, If possible, but when no more
space Is left and not corner Is avail
able for even photograph or a china
dog they will pack them away in chests
and closets and go on accommodating.
They may have no time for reading or
recreation or even for the proper care
Of their own persons. but that fact
never deters them from adding to the
number Of their household gods and to
the already intolerable task of taking
care of them.
Mrs. Ollphant. In one Of her stories,
tells of vulgar rich man who liked
to have costly and useless things about
him. He saw no beauty in the Turner
which adorned his drawing room, but
1t was sweet to him to think that he
was able to hang up thousands of
pounds, so to speak, upon his walls.
1t Is perhaps something of this feeling
that makes women turn their homes
Into museums. In country where so
many people have become suddenly
rich or have been raised from poverty
to comparative affluence, possession Is
such an unfamiliar thing that 1t seems
to please In itself, apart from any val
lie in the articles possessed, and people
who cannot have the satisfaction of
possessing costly and useless things
find some consolation in an innumera.
BILE number Of cheap and useless, II not
cheap and nasty. articles. In older
countries, where rapid changes of in
come are not so freiuent, one Sees less
Of this desire for display. and in En-
glish homes, for instance. there Is
comfort and restfulness, and conse-
Quently beauty. even in the midst of
shabblness, which Is little known In
America. Chicago Chronicle.

THE WASHINGTON.
NEW CRUISER TO BE BEST IN THE
WORLD.
Excels All Others in Battery Power,
Protection, and General Effect.
iveness.-.Brief Description Of the
War Vessel for Which Bids will
Soon BE Opened.

Washington, Nov. 3.-rhe armored
cruiser Washington, bids for the con-
struction of which will be opened jan
uary 6, will be among the most power
full fighting machines afoat. The official
description shows the following dimen-
sions:
Length on load water line, 5O2 feet :
extreme breadth on load water line 70
feet displacement on trial, IA, 800 tons:
mean draught on trial, 25 feet; at max
imum load, 81 feet; total bunker
capacity, 1000 tons; steaming radius
at cruising speed, 10 knots, $500
knots; at full speed, % knots per hour.
3,100 knots; maximum indicated horse
power, estimated, $4,000.
The appropriation for hull and
machinery is 81, $4,000. The draught
of the Washington is limited by the
depth of the harbors of this country,
this being the feature OF all battleships
of our navy. The hull will be OF steel,
with the usual subdivisioning OF double
bottoms and hull space. The hull is
to be protected by five inches of belt
armor from five feet below the water
line to the upper deck aft of the 6-inch
guns, extending the whole length of the
ship from bow to stern near the water
line, to form water line belt, and be-
ing reduced at the ends to three inches
thick.
All other exposed surfaces will be
protected by nickel-steel armor ranging
from nine inches to three inches in
thickness, according ample protection
to all vital points.
The armor is to consist OF main
battery of four 1O-inch and 16 6-inch
breech loading rifles, and a secondary
battery of % 3-inch rapid fire guns, ~
3-p,under, semi-automatic, 2 1-pound-
automatic, l-pounder rapid fire, 2
3-inch field pieces, two machine guns,
20 calibre, and six automatic guns, 80
calibre.
The 1O-inch gun will be mounted in
two turrets fore and aft, which will
turn through an arc of $50 degrees, and
be under complete electrical control.
The 6-inch guns will be mounted in
four armored classmates on the main
deck and the smaller guns will be
mounted at points OF vantage on the
main and gun decks.
The full complement Of officers and
men of the vessel as a flagship will be {:
Flag officer, commanding officer, chief
of staff, 10 wardroom officers, IL junior
officers ten warrant officers and S14
men.
The Washington will be lighted
through out by electricity and carry six
3O-inch searchlights. All appliances
will be the latest inventions. The
Washington excels in battery power
and protection any armored cruiser,
built, building or designed, in the
world, and is the equal of large ma
jority of the worlds battleships.

Second Table.

Second Table.
Some boys are mad when comply comes
to stay for meals. They hate
To have the other people eat, while boys
must wait and wait;
But I've about made up my mind I'm diff
ferent from the rest,
For. as for me, l b'lieve like the second
table best.
To eat along with comp'ny is SO trying.
for it's tough
To sit and watch the victuals when you
dassent touch the stuff;
You see your father serving out the
dark meat and the light,
Until boy is sure he'll starvc before
he gets a bite.
And when he asks you what you'll have
you've heard it all before
You know you'll get just what you get,
and won't get nothing more;
For, when you want another piece, your
mother winks her eye.
And so you say, i've plenty, please"
and tell a whopping lie.
When comp'ny is a watching you, you've
got to be polite,
And eat your victuals with a fork, and
take little bite;
You can't have nothing till you're asked,
and cause boy is small
Folks think he isn't hungry, and he's
never asked ut all.
Since can first remember I've been told
that when the cake
Ia passed around. the proper thing is for
boy to take
The piece that's nearest to him, and so all
l ever got,
When comp'ny's been to our house, was
the smallest in the lot.
1t worries boys like everything to have
the compny stay
Asserting round the table, like they
couldn't get away;
But when they've gone and left the whole
big shooting match to me,
Say, amt it fun to just wade in and help
myself? Oh, gee!
With no one round to notice what you're
doing-bet your life!-
Boys don't use forks to eat with when
they'd rather use knife;
Nor take such little bites as when they re
eating with the rest.
And so, for lots of things, like the SC.

The Hack Drivers Little Girl.
Six little girls in Miss ReXford's
school We're about the same age-Cora,
Ethel. Sally, Edith. Jenny and Ruth.
Five Of them We're generally to be
seen together, at recess and going and
returning from school; but the sixth
one. Ethel Stedman, was not apt to
be included in the good times of the
others. This was not because Ethel
was not as pretty or as bright or as
pleasant as the rest Of them, or be-
cause she did not wear as dainty
frocks. No, it was all on account Of
her fathers being hack driver.
Sally's father was a DOCTOR Edith's
was a clergyman, Coras was law
yer. Ruth's painted pictures. while
Jenny's father kept bookstore. These
little girls did not realize that man
who drove hack for living could
be just as good as If he went around
selling books. or even preached SER
mons in big church. So Ethel was
made to feel in some way she was not
quite their equal. though she didn't
understand what the reason was. 1t
would never have occurred to her that
her dear, kind father was the cause
of all this snubbing.
Day after day Ethel went to school,
wishing she could do something to
her chance came.
1t was warm and sunshiny when
school opened one afternoon; but be-
fore long 1t grew cloudy. and, when
the children were let out. the weather
was SO threatening that the five
friends hurried along hoping to reach
their homes before the shower. They
had only gone a few blocks. however
when great drops began to fall; and
in minute it was pouring. There
was no way but to scamper up on the
steps Of house. to wait till the rain
should cease; but the question that
troubled them was how soon would it
stop. 1t might keep on all night, and
they all lived long walk away. 1t
Numbered and lightened a little, and
Cora and Jenny began to cry. 1t grew
darker. and rain came down In such
sheets that the girls could hardly see
across the street. Then a hack came
along. and, to their surprise. 1t stopped
right In front of the steps.
Girls! girls" called familiar
voice. don't you want to ride homer"
Before one Of them could answer
Ethers father had jumped from his
high seat, and had poor little frighten-
ed Jenny In his arms. He deposited
her on her feet inside the carriage
door, and in a minute or two the five
were all there, half laughing. half cry
ing, and being whirled along toward
home.
Father came after me, but you had
started on ahead, or should have ask
ed you to ride them explained Ethel,
and the five couldn't help feeling n
little bit ashamed to see the eagerness
with which the girl whom they had all
sighted was ready to do them IA
vor. AS for Ethel herself, she almost
wished a shower would come up every
day, 1t was such delight to be right
among the girls. and be one of them.
How did you get homer asked
