HE WANTS OUT.
Former BiIlingsite Soon Tires of Pris.
on Life.

Percy De Wolfe, who was recently
sentenced to II years in the peniten-
tiary for taking stolen horses into
Cascade county, is not content to
serve out the full length of his SEN
tence without making an effort to get
out, and his attorney seems to think
he has discovered something, which,
| while it may not be the means of Sc
curing his freedom, may result in Civ
ing him a new trial.
A few days ago the lawyer filed the
longest bill of exceptions, perhaps,
recorded in any court in the state. 1t
covers 176 pages of typewriter mat
ter and is not entirely without sensa-
tional allegations. Among other
things set forth in the instrument is
the charge, substantiated by an af-
fidavit sworn to by a reputable citizen,
that at least one juror who served on
the cas- was possessed Of undue pre-
judice against the prisoner. The af-
fidavit declares that Frank Wocasek,
the juror in question, was guilty, while
the trial was in progress. of using
language calculated to show a feeling
of enmity toward the defendant. in
that he was overheard to reply to a
question as to whether he knew the
defendant to curse him and in a sig.
nificant manner declare that he knew
him better than anybody.
It is Furthermore alleged that irreg.
ularity was practiced in drawing the
jury and that the names of men were
wrongfully put in the box. In addi.
ticn to all this De Wolfe claims that
at the time the stolen horses were al
legged to have been taken into the
county by him he was in fact at ST
Mary's, on the Blackfoot reservation
acting in the capacity of one of the
principals to a marriage ceremony.
De Wolfe is not a stranger to the
people of this city, having been tried
here some years ago on the charge OF
horse stealing, but acquitted by a
sympathetic jury.

SMALL PROSPECT OF PEACE
Surr1ised That Britain Doubts Ability
CT Delegates to Bind Fight
ira %Burghers.

London, ain. 31.-The British re
ply to the Dutch note in regard to
bringing about peace in South Africa,
was dispatched yesterday to The
Hague. The contents of the note are
kept a secret. The first publication
of the text is intended to be made in
parliament Monday, FEBRUARY 3.
The Associated Press has reason to
believe, however, that it's original
summary of the Dutch communication
was correct with this addition, that
the Dutch suggested that Vessels,
Wolmarns and Fischer, the Boer dele
gates now in Europe, be permitted to
go to South Africa in an endeavor to
persuade the burghers in the field
to surrender.
Great Britain's reply is not in the
nature of a direct negative, though
ii is not unlikely hat it will have
that effect. While Lord Lansdown
probably leaves a loop hole for futher
suggestions. he doubts the ability of
the Boer delegates to control their
fellow countrymen, and there seems
little likelihood that the Dutch can
secure guarantees, in regard to the
powers of the Boer delegates, suf-
ficient to induce Great Britain to &C
coed to their requests.

WAS SOCIAL DAY.
Woman's Club Lays Aside Shake.
speare for Art Talk.

SPSdFe TOT ATT ak.
From Saturdays Daily Gazette.
Yesterday was social day at the
Woman's club and the study. of Shake
speare was laid aside for a very inter
esting talk on THE Art of Rome" by
Rev. Father van Clarenbeck This
was the second of a series of talks on
this subject, and was replete with
much valuable in formation.
The interior of St. Peters at Rome
was described in detail. The speaker
first gave a description of the man
ner in which the splendid mosaic, work
used in the reproductions of the works
Of the old masters, is made. This de-
scription also included the mosaics of
Venice, which are made of glass and
illustrations were shown, both of the
glass and stone mosaics. Father van
C~iarenbeck said there were at least
Il hundred copies of the work of the
old masters, the more important of
which he described, following his de-
scription with illustrations of the
work which were exhibited to the club.
He also dwelt at some length on the
magnificent s~tatuary of st. Peters,
among which is the tomb of Pope
Clement. This was described in de-
tail and the story it tells was given in
q manne that was exceedingly inter.
esting and instructive. In order to
show that the character of the artists
was expressed in their works he re-
lated several amusing incidents that
are said to have transpired at the time
the work was being executed. These
not only served to emphasize the fact,
but added just enough variety to the
lecture to make it entertaining.
At a future time the third talk of
the series will be given and the sub
ject will be "The Sistine Chapel"

Curious Freak of Insane Persons.

Curious Freak of Insane Persons.
A Belgian physician. speaking OF
stimulation by the insane, says that in
cases of insanity where the intellectual
faculties are not too much disordered
the insane may simulate another form
of insanity than their own. The forms
of insanity most often simulated are,
in order of frequency, imbeciiity, de-
mentia and mania. The other forms
are not so frequently simulated. A
lunatic generally Stimulates insanity TO
escape punishment, and an expert ply
stefan should not therefore in such
cases be satisfied with diagnosis Of
stimulation. Such diagnosis does not
exclude real insanity. and the physi-
clan should therefore endeay or TO-

George Washington's false teeth,
which were supposed to have been
made of ivory, are giving q certain
class OF freak historians about as much
trouble as they must have given the
venerable patriot who wore them"
said one Of the professors of the
Smithsonian institution to reporter
recently.
"Many times year for several years
this institution has been called upon to
produce these mysterious teeth for the
inspection Of persons who insist that
they are here.
Our matter of fact answer to these
inquiries that Washington had 70 false
teeth, or at least if he did, tlsat they
are not III the possession of the mu
scum, seems only to stimulate the in
uul'ing nlnd to protest our statement.
They proceed to give US authentic ac-
counts of these teeth and always con-
clude with expressing the belief that
they must be in the museum some
where.
"Where Or how the idea that Wash
ington had false teeth originated is an
unsolyed mystery. That it is firmly be-
lieved by many is certainly fact.
There seems to be no authentic record
of the Father of His Country possess
ing ivory teeth, and by a study of the
bust we have Of him, which was made
but few years before his death, there
is no Indication of an indentation along
the line of the gums such as can be
noticed in persons who have had their
teeth drawn, even though they wear
artificial ones However, we will con-
tinue to answer the same question in
the same way probably many times In
the future"
According to some biographers
Washington lost his teeth during his
service as commander In chief OF the
Continental army and had q SET 81
ivory ones made. These teeth, IT A
also stated, gave him mlleh trouble h. =
