for you when pass down PennsyI-
vania avenue again"
Many times after Madge was well
the president passed and gave her a
pleasant greeting. Then came the
night of the 18th of April, when the
news spread like wildfre that Lincoln
had been shot, and when the story of
his death was told the next morning
one pair of eyes were filed with tears
and one little heart was full of sad
ness at the passing away of the great,
kindly man, whose heart was filed
with love and tenderness for all man
kind.-Brooklyn Eagle.

Into little house on one of the side
streets near Pennsylvania avenue the
rays of the sun brightly shone, glad
dening the hearts of those who lived
there, an invalid father and his two
little children, Madge and Bonnie.
"Madge, you'll have to take the
basket out to-day; Bonnie is too
SICK" the father said.
"All right, papa, I guess I'll get
along alone"
Little Madge went to work getting
the basket of sandwiches, apples and
flowers ready. Such sandwiches as
they were, too. Every messenger
boy, page and congressman knew
Madge and Bonnie and the sand
witches they sold on Pennsylvania
avenue every day at lunch time.

greater. The actual destruction of ma

WEAR THE FLOWER
THE MARTYR LOVED
PINK CARNATIONS WE'RE n, KIM
LEY'S FAvoRITEs AND If YOU
CAN GET ONE, WEAR 1T.

Tomorrow will be the first anniversary
OF the death of President William McKin-
ley, and the people of Butte will mark the
day by wearing pink carnations. The pink
carnation was the favorite flower of Presi-
dent Mckinley, and there could be no
more appropriate tribute of the peoples
love.
The plan was first proposed by Governor
Van SAINT of Minnesota, and has met with
the approval of the officials of states
throughout the union. In most Of the big
cities of the West the citizens will observe
the day by simply the wearing of the little
flower the late president loved so well, and
Butte will be no exception to the rule.
In all probability memorial services will
be held in most of the churches, and where
it is possible the decorations will be of
carnations.
1t is fortunate that Butte has so many
florists, for with the scarcity of flowers
here it would be almost impossible to
secure pink carnations were it not for the
people who handle natures gems.
Mayor Davey thinks there could be no
more appropriate way to observe the day
of President McKinley's death than the
wearing Of pink carnations. He believes
the custom will become universal.

AMERICAN COMMISSIONER TO CHINA
SAYS ORIENTAL EMPIRE is
ON ITS LAST LEGS.
Inv ASSOCIATED pRrss.l

San Francisco, Cal, Sept I3-Speaking
Of the commercial outlook in the Orient
&C.. /. 5. Sharretts, the United States
commissioners. who recently aided in fram-
ine new tariff for China, and who is now
here en- route TO Washington, said:
Reform is urgently needed in the
financial policy OF China and its method of
management of the financial affairs,
especially in collecting revenues.
"As it stands American trade with China
is OF little Importance, and will never
amount to much under the proposed new
tariff or under any tariff. The collection
OF the governments revenues is placed in
the hands OF middlemen or thicving off
cials, if you will, who permit about 10 per
cent of their collections to reach the gov
eminent. China is on the eve OF bank
rnptcy, and unless the powers get together
and force the country into revoutionizing
It's methods within the next 10 years there
will be an awful crash in the far East
China will appear in the deplorabIe role
OF defaulting in her payments Of indcm-
nifty to the treaty powers and the division
of the Chinese empire among the big world
powers will surely follow"
Mr.. Sharretts gave it as his opinion that
China would attach her signature to the
new tariff before long.
Mr.. Sharretts was instrumental in pre-
venting the signing by China Of the pro-
posed new British commercial treaty
which, by providing for an abolition Of the
1ikin tax and an increased duty on all inn
ports he says would have injured Ameri-
Gan trade with China.

MAJESTY

SUN TAKES ON HUE so UNLIKE HIS
ROSY SELF THAT ALL BUTTE
STRAINS ITS NECK.

Al! Butte was straining its neck this
afternoon. On every street corner there
was craning and pointing of fingers.
"The sun! The sun Look at the sun"
And sure enough there was something
unusual about the complexion of his
benign majesty. Like a purple disc on a
leaden sheet Old Sol stood out bercft Of
his familiar rays, rich, royal purple.
Every man had different theory, and
every woman had two or three. Some
said the Elks of that orb were having a
grand lodge meeting. Others said some
political villifyers had given the sun a
black eye, and others said it was simply an
optical illusion. One theory, and possibly
the most correct one, was that the smoke
of the forest fires now burning west Of
Anaconda obscured the sun and changed
his color, but there were plenty to dispute
this theory.
