WORLDS FAIR COMMISSIONERS
FIND FUND SKINNY.
LITTLE FOR MINING EXHIBIT
Hopeful That Larger Operators Will
Make Displays at their Own Elk.
pense-Revised Estimates.

Unless the large mining companies
come to their relief to the extent of
defraying the cost of preparing, for
warding and installing their mineral
exhibits, Chairman Mantle of the exec
utive committee figures that the Mon
tana commissioners of the st. Louis
exposition will have ITO face a deficit
or materially cut down some of the
exhibits themselves, if not Obliged TO
omit some altogether.
sal of the commissioners is $50, 900,
although the total of the appropriation
voted by the legislature is $50, 900.
OF this amount $4,000 is to meet the
cost of an exhibit ait the Lewis and
Clarke exposition at Portland. I'm
der the bill appropriating the money,
half is made available this year and
the balance next year. Keeping in
| view the full amount at their disposal,
MIR. Mantle has been doing some f1gur-
ing, but the best he can do is to show
a deficiency of $500.
AT the recent meeting of the board,
held at Helena during the state fair,
MIR. Mantle submitted a communica-
tion to the commissioners in which
he made a number of recommends
fiOnC Ono y1ops tho ionrCiyot ~, nj re
a subcommittee on art, and another
for a historical exhibit from the state
llprary, for display in the state build
ing. He enclosed a letter from a
Missoula taxidermy firm offering to
prepare a large collection of mounted
Montana wild animals and for a dis
play of rugs, heads and wall cases
and install the whole in an ornamen-
tai and decorative manner. For this
the sum of $265 was asked, the COM
mission to defray the expense OF
transportation to and from st. Louis
for n man and to pay the freight
both ways on the exhibit.
A revised estimate of the total ex-
pense of maintaining the states ex-
hibit at the exposition was also SUBJ
mitted. In making the estimate MIR.
Mantle allowed only $4,000 for print
ing, an amount that he acknowledged
would not supply the commission with
all the printed matter that could be
used advantageously at the exposition
for advertising the states resources,
but it was all they could reasonably
set apart for that purpose. Another
estimate made by him showed that
the expense of gathering, installing
and keeping up the mining exhibit
would be at least 1880. He gave as
his reason for leaving his estimate
for a mineral exhibit aus the last item
because he and the commissioners
believed the larger companies and in
%dividuals engaged in mining in Silver
Bow n other counties would pre-
pare, ship and install exhibits at their
own cost.
His Estimate.
The estimate of the expenses OF
the various divisions of the proposed
exhibit which Mr.. Mantle submitted
was as follows:
Agricultural exhibit (~alreaay
appropriately .............$ $500
Horticultural exhibit (already
appropriately 4.5OO
Educational exhibit .......... 5000
Forestry exhibit ............ 1000
Botanical exhibit ........... $50

and had thought sometimes that if
those who proclaim this, if they
really believe it, they wouldn't
watch the corps SO closely. He
said they argue that We want a
scarce money. "Why the other
day I read that a metal had been
discovered of which there is only
two pounds in the world. Why
not make our money from that
metal. and give j. Pierpont Nor
gan one pound and John Rookie
Teller the other" We should
strive to find money that would
compare with the maxim Equal
Rights to ALI, and Special privi-
leges to none"
One beauty about the the trust
question is that if you have mo
time to go to it, it will come to
you. He said that he was amused
recently by an editorial in a Kan
sas City paper about the beef trust.
1 am not so sure some times but
what the beef trust is a good thing
as it makes people feel through
their stomaohs, what they wont
think in their heads believe the
remedy lies in the Federal govern
ment, and / think it has as much
right to kill monopoly as we'll as
a lottery which is also one of the
worst vipers we have to deal with.
He said in regard to holding of

The prunkard,s Ohild.

By MAE M. ALEX ANDER.
Twas little care-worn creature,
Who strolled down the street one day
Her face wore look of sadness
That filed ones heart with dismay
Twas plain to see that those eyes SC
blue,
And her face so fair and mild,
Told of soul that was very sad,
And the woe of drunkard's child
Her school-mates summed her all the
while,
orpassed her by with scorn;
Because her dress is ragged,
And her shoes were old and worn.
How well do remember
When one lovely day in May
A message came to the teacher
Saying: Katie died today"
Her school-mates now remembered,
And recalled with sad regret
The cruel words they uttered,
To Katie when they met.
They sent sweet flowers and roses
To be placed upon her grave;
But, kind deeds then, could never
Heal the wound which they had
made.

What the Initial Letter "M"
Meant

what the Initial Letter ~m''
Meant.
The late Jeremiah Hawley, OF
/ Epworth-known to most every
one in Maysville-was an an odd
genius-as honest as clock, and
in many ways as innocent as q
lamb"
He hadn't been born with the
proverbial "silver spoon in his
mouth" nor were educational op-
portunities any too abundant in
his neighborhood; and in lien of
"book larnin'" he had absorbed
sufficient "hoss sense" to carry him
in crude way through the world.
For several years he conducted
successfully one of the largest busi-
ness establishments in this section,
and when it came to ''figgering"
the "per'' he could hold full hand
with the brightest apostle of the
man who built the arithmetic.
On one important and rather
solemn occasion Jerry was requir-
ed to write his name, and it ap-
peared in the record in an irregu-
lar scrawl-"J. M. HAwLEY."
Being told that both Christian
and surnames must be written in
full, he was stumped for a moment
when this instructor went to the
rescue by asking what his full
name was.
Jeremiah Hawley." was the res
ponse.
"Thats all right as far as it
goes" replied the instructor; "but
you haze written it j. M. Hawley.
Now, what does the M. stand forP'
why" said Jerry with an in
nocence that was child-like and
bland, m. stand for Miah; j. is for
Jerry and M. is for Miah-don't
you seer"
The instructor fell over the ice
chest and burst his pajamas; but
to the day of his death poor Jerry
couldn't see where the laugh came
in.
Peace to his hes!-Maysville,
