ever see a waiter wearing glasses?"
demanded the inquisitor.
No one could remember, although
just why waiter should not be seen
with glasses as well as any other man
was not apparent.
Its just like the wearing of Boards"
went on the inquisitor. THE proprie-
tors of our important hotels, restau-
fants and cafes will not permit either
boards or glasses to be worn by their
walters. 1t is possible that in some
old fashioned family or commercial
hotel the servitors may be found with
their noses straddled by optical helps,
but you won't find 'em along Broad
way
''Now, this is a fact worthy of note
because in every other calling in life
the number of persons wearing glasses
is on the increase, and even in our
schools a considerable percentage of
very small children will be found
wearing glasses, and while, as l say,
hotel, restaurant and cafe proprietors
are opposed to the glasses, still have
seldom found a waiter whose eyes in
dicated that he was in the slightest
need of them.
"You may argue that restaurant
walters are generally young men.
Grant you that instantly, but all the
same thousands of men of similar age
have to wear them in almost every
other occupation.
"The majority of those servitors
commence in boyhood, and the demand
of their vocation causes no strain on
the eyesight. Consequently that may
account in measure for the absence
of any necessity for the use of specs.
Moreover the steam from hot viands
would render them useless probably

PENCIL PUsHERs' MEETING.

Hamilton Folk Are Making Ready
For Gathering of Newspaper Men
Unmatched will be the forthcoming
citation at it's annual meeting at Ham
ilton, Mont, from September to 8,
inclusive. The freedom of the city of
Hamilton, that beauty spot in the
magnificent Bitter Root valley has
been rendered the press association
in the following hospitable language:
"The city council, on behalf of the
citizens of Hamilton, cordially ten
der you the freedom of the city dur
ing the meeting of the State Press
association, to be held September 6,
Z, and 8, 1902, Hamilton, Mont.
This invitation has been sent to
all the members of the association
SO that they will all be induced to
take in the meeting and will feel at
home in Hamilton. 1t is confidently
predicted that their responses will be
general and enthusiastic.
Miles Romney, the genial editor of
the Western News of Hamilton, is
taking a deep interest in the meeting
and he promises the press boys the
time of their lives if they come to his
bailiwick and the meeting. He says
in letter to Butte newspaper man
'The meeting of this year is bound
to be an enjoyable one. The Bitter
Root valley is an ideal place for an
outing particularly for you fellows
in town."
He is right, and he reminds the
press gang that the game season
opens September /, and that grouse
| and other game are plentiful in the
| Bitter Root valley and that the fish.
| ing cannot be beaten.
The Ravalli hotel, that magnificent
| caravansary, will be at the disposal
of the press association, and a special
train will take them to the meeting
Mr.. Romney says that Hamilton is in
one of the beauty spots of the earth
and adds that the local committee is
engaged in securing some splendid
papers for the meeting. He says thai
if the newspaper men do not have
the time of their lives at Hamilton
it will not be the fault of the commit
tee.

HARDY sUWAROFF.
PecuIiarities of One of RussfR's
Great Military Commanders.


Suwareff, Russia's great military
commander, was a little man, insignif-
cant in everything but that intangible
power of mind and character with
which physical strength is never to be
compared. He had been sickly in his
youth. but became hardy under the
stimulus of cold bathing and the bene-
fits of plain diet. Buckets of cold
water were thrown over him in the
morning, and his table was served with
fare which guests would fain have re-
fused, but dared not lest he should
think them effeminate. He despised
dress and delighted in drilling his men
in shirt sleeves, sometimes with his
stockings literally down at the heel"
But his hardihood of life and action
had its effect on the men he command
ed. He was often up and about by
midnight and would salute the first
soldier whom he saw moving with a
piercing cockcrow in commendation of
his early rising. During the first Po-
lish war he had given orders for an
attack at cockcrow, and a spy in the
camp carried the news to the enemy.
The attack, however, really took place
at 8 o'clock in the evening, when the
arrangement had been made, for
Suwaroff, suspecting treachery, had
then turned out his troops by his well
known growing. The enemy, expect
| ing the event in the morning, were en-
tirely unprepared and fell easy victims
| to his forethought.
Tomorrow morning" said he to his
troops on the evening before the storm
ing of Ismail, "an hour before day
break mean to get up. shall wash
and dress myself, say my prayers, give
| one good cockcrow and then capture
| ISmail."

An Odd Dish.

Mix boiled hogs lard and milk with
thick cruel. Stir it well together, with
fresh cheese, yolks of eggs and brains,
Wrap it in a fragrant fig leaf and boil
in the gravy of a chicken or kid,
When taken out, remove the leaf and
souse it in a potful of boiling honey,
The name of this comestibie is derived
from the fig leaf but the mixture con
sists of equal parts of each, but rather
more eggs, because this gives it con
sistency. This appears to have been a
popular dish among the Greeks. To
us it seems about as nice as an oyster
eaten with brown sugar.
Aristophanes mentions a thirum of
salt fish and a thirum of fat. In the
"Frogs" there is a dismal joke in the
form of a reasonable objection made to
leaping from a high tower, Il would
lose two fig leaves of brain" The
word occurs no less than twelve times
In the fragments of the comic poets

The Outlook crowds an unusual
amount of practical wisdom and good
sense into the following paragraph:
"Zeal without knowledge, often con-
demned, is more valuable than knowl-
edge without zeal, often commended,
for zeal without knowledge inspires
life, and life acquires knowledge; but
knowledge without zeal sits in it's
study, plays with it's books and does
nothing. All the greatest things in life
have been accomplished by enthusi-
asts whose zeal was greater than their
knowledge"

Curious Translation Errors.

Some amusing errors are made by
translators. An italian paper turned
kipling's "Absentminded Beggar" into
a DISTRACTED Mendicant." Another
italian editor who translated a pas
sage from an English paper about a
man who had killed his wife with a
poker added an ingenious footnote to
say, 'We do not know with certainty
whether this thing 'pokero' be a domes-
tic or surgical instrument" The des-
perate eXpedient of the French trans
lator of Cooper's Spy" who had to
explain how a horse could be hitched
"to a locust" is worth recalling. He
had never heard of locust trees and
rendered the word by 'sauterelle," or
grasshopper Feeling that this needed
some explanation, he appended foot
note explaining that grasshoppers
grew to gigantic size in the United
States and that it was the custom to
place a stuffed specimen at the door
of every mansion for the convenience
of visitors, who hitched their horses
to it.

MAY EXPLAIN MYSTERY.
Finding of Human Bones in Eagles
Nest Country.

Finding of Human Bones in Eagles
Nest Country.
Two state officers who have just
returned from Culbertson confirm the
report which comes from Valley coun-
ty concerning the finding of a skull
and bones of a man in a coulee in
the Eagles Nest country that are
supposed to be those of Stuffick, the
noted outlaw and horse thief, who,
with Nelson Jones and Kid Royals, so
long terrorized the settlers of that
part of the state.
The state officers say that the find
ing of the bones corroborates a
strange and rather weird story told
by an old prospector named Moulton
three years ago.
One day about three years ago
Moulton set out from Culbertson for
prospecting expedition in the
Eagles Nest country. He purchased
his supplies at Culbertson and left
there with a saddle horse and two
pack horses. According to the story
bertson two months later, he shot a
man who was attempting to steal his
horses.
Several days after his return to
Culbertson he mysteriously disap-
peared and has never been seen
since 1t is thought, however, that he
| went to Alaska.
Moulton said that after getting into
the Eagles Nest country he came in
contact with Nelson, Jones and STUFF
their escapades in Valley county, and
that they sent him word that if they
heard any more of him they would
"set him afoot"
Moulton said that one night he
| heard a noise out where he had his
horses grazing, and as he came out
from his tent several shots were fired
| at him. He saw the outline of a man
in a clump of trees and quickly re
turning to his tent he secured an
eight-bore shotgun which was loaded
with slugs. Throwing the gun down
on the man he fired. He said that he
heard the man cry that he was shot
and saw him fall to the ground.
Without Investigating as to whether
he had killed his man, he packed uI
early in the morning and started fol-
i Culbertson.
i Moulton told his story when he re
turned to Culbertson, but for some
reason it was never given much ere
dence.
| The fact that Stuffick has not beer
seen since the finding of the bones
and the story told by Moulton, seem:
to be evidence that Moulton put al
end to the earthly existence of the
noted outlaw.

1t Puzzled Him.

1t is said Of former Marquis of
Townshend that when young and en-
gagged in battle he saw a drummer at
his side killed by cannon ball which
scattered his brains in every direction.
His eyes were at once fixed on the
CHASTITY object, which seemed to en-
gross his thoughts. A superior officer
observing him supposed he was intim-
idated at the sight and addressed him
in manner to cheer his spirits. "Ohr'

with such a quantity of brains evel

lose his sight. Finally a neighbor
recommended DeWitt's Witch Hazel

him and in a few days he was as well
