BILL THAT DOUBLED ITSELF.
Munchausen Story Of PortIy Man Called
Forth No Answer.

He was portly and prosperous, an
alliterative state of affairs that seemed
to give weight to his words. Therefore,
the little band, gathered in front Of an
up town hotel and which had watched
with interest and laughed with mean
delight at the man who chased his hat
two blocks in one of those sudden gales,
listened with respectful attention to
the portly man, who had laughed
louder than the others and who led the
way to the cafe bar.
"That hat chasing game reminds me
of peculiar thing which happened to
Inc when boy" be began. II was
brought up on a farm in this State
aud was one of those happy-go lucky
youngsters, always in trouble and with
happy faculty of getting out of
scrapes.
Zone day my father gave me IS
bill to go down to the village and buy
some things for the farm. Boy like.
started of. holding the bill by the corner
and letting the wind flap it about my
fingers. There came a sudden puff,
and the bill was torn from my grasp.
1 saw it fly over bush. and started
off in hot pursuit. 1 meant to recover
that bill or get the worse licking that
ever a country boy received.
Jumping over the fence, I saw the
bill dancing merrily along about five
feet from the ground in ten.acre field,
aud nothing to check its progress. My,
how / ran. Once or twice I
nearly had it, when a fresh gust of
wind would send it in and other direc-
tion. chased the bill all around the
field, and finally painting and exhaust
ed, grasped it and fell to the ground"
The portly man muttered something
that sounded like ''s s'Iuck," and drained
his glass. The others followed suit,
and waited patiently for the climax.
"Gentleman, it is hard to believe. but
when I recovered my breath and look
ed at the cause of my furious chase l
found it was $40 bill that somebody
else has lost
Nobody had courage enough to ask
what had become of the IS, and the
band dispersed in silence.-New York

EXCELLENT SHEEP RUN.
ford Protection to . Small
Sized Flock.

Sheep are naturally rather timid,
tender, inoffensive animals, and for
the safety and thrift Of a small
flock covered yard is valuable. It
is not necessary for it to be costly,
but it should be well protected from
the weather and have a dry floor.
If it can be conveniently built as an
addition to the barn, and have a door
opening into it directly from the
barn floor, so much the better; in
which case it should be made high
enough so that grain and the like
can be stored in the loft above, as

Tamaqua, Pa. August a7.-Several poles
OF the trolley line which runs from this
place to Summit Hill were chopped down
today and the wires cut This probably
was done to prevent troops from being
taken from Manila park, where they are
encamped, to Lansford and Summit Hill.
Major Gearhardt outwittcd the strikers,
however, by taking two companies of SOL
dcrs to Summit Hill an hour before they
were expected.
In Lansford, Summit Hill and Coal
dale the detachment Of soldiers was
hooted by large crowds of strik-
ers. At Coaldale the soldiers were
compelled to get off the cars and force the
mob back from the tracks In Lansford
crowd of women joined in hooting the
guardsmen. Major Gearhardt admitted
that the situation is serious.
Must Arbitrate.
Pittsburg. Pa, August 27.--Justice
Shiras OF the United States supreme court,
who has just arrived in Pittsburg from a
vacation, refuses to discuss his retirement
from the bench further than to say that
President Roosevelt would be the first
person to learn of it and he had not re-
ceived the announcement yet.
On the subject of the anthracite coal
strike, Judge Shiras said: "Arbitration is
the logical method of settling labor
troubles such as this one, which affects
the general prosperity and comfort of a
great section of the country. The method
and enforcement of this arbitration is a
subject for the lawmakers of the nation,
but arbxration itself is logical
"IsssS boration of all labor unions is the
primary steps toward the passage of an
arbitration law. The unions must be re-.
tnent and until they are there is little
hope for compulsory arbitration of labor
troubles"
Mitchell Won't Discuss It.

WE'D MISS OLSON TONIGHT.

When Harry S. Tuttle, the we'll l-known
jeweller of Main street and his bosom
friend Charley French, walked into the
Office of the clerk of the court this after
noon, it didn't take the astuteness of
Sherlock Holmes to tell that there was
something doing.

Clerk Roberts,
Don't make so many demonstrations

one OF those newspaper men Is concealed"
The clerk took down book and began
to write.
Perspiration stood out in large drops on
the forehead of the jeweller. At last it was
over. There was flash of silver and as
Mr.. Roberts put it away in the money
drawer he bit the end off good cigar and
smiled wise old smile. Then he read
the paper Clerk Roberts had worded for
him.
1t was simple statement but it showed
that one of Butte's wel-known and popu-
lar young men had gone over to the ranks
OF the bcnedcts 1t was the official per-
mission of the state of Montana to Harry S.
Tuttle (of specified age and pedigree) and
Christine Olsen to wed.
This evening at o'clock in the apart
ments of Mr.. and Mrs. Hugh Wilson of the
Butte hotel, the Rev. S. C. Blackiston of
the Episcopal church, will finish the job be-
gun so well by Clerk Roberts. His act will
deprive the Butte hotel of an amiable and
pleasant little cashier, but will give to Mr..
Tuttle n wife.
Charley French will stick to his friend
to the last. Mrs. Neiderhofen of Colum-
bia Falls, with Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson will
also witness the ceremony. At midnight
the couple will leave for the East on a
short trip, after which they will be at home
to their Butte friends, of whom there
are many.
