Views of a Veteran.

They were rehearsing the armies
in when Johnnie Comes Marching
Home" There were tall men and
short men in the groups of supers
that thronged the stage, and it seemed
impossible to explain to them just
what was wanted. They couldn't dis
tinguish their right from their left
foot; they didn't know the difference
between an entrance and an exit;
their music cues were played again
and again, and still they learned them
not.
Finally one grizzled old commander
of the tramp-like forces impatiently
declared: I've served in every army
ever seen on the stage-from Caesars
cohorts to the wild Arabs of the de-
sert of The Soudan'-and I've fought
in the ranks of Napoleon's old guard
and died on both sides of the late
unpleasantness, but | in my life
saw so many straw-footed men in
one bunch.'-Chicago Inter-Ocean.

Why the Highlander STOPPED.

In his "Recollections of a Player
the veteran actor. j. H. Stoddart,
tells of an eccentric Scotch comedian,
John Henry Alexander by name, FAM
iliarly known as "Old Alec"
Mrs. Alexander, the wife of the
comedian, had assisted in making up
one of the supers in Rob Roy" and
had sent him on the stage rather hur-
riedly without noticing whether or
not he was a fit member of the body
OF Highlanders. He proved to be
a very tall person and the audience
singled him out from the rest as the
butt for it's laughter. Mr.. Alexander
seeing him endeavoring to diminish
his height by marching around almost
in a sitting posture, admonished him
in a voice that could be heard above
the martial music, to Stand up. sir!'
The Highlander explained: Il can
ma, Alec, l Gamma; ma kits over

Obituary..

Lester Ralph Edward Moffett, son
of Mr.. and Mrs. l.. L. Moffett, died
last Saturday, February IA, and his
brief span of life was over. Only a
short time was he permitted to cheer
their home and warm their hearts
with the sunshine that came with his
presence. Born October 81, 1900, he
had just begun to attain the age when
childhood is the sweetest for those
to whom it's care is entrusted and
the fate that removed him causes only
suffering and sorrow to the bereaved
parents. He was a sweet child and
although gone, his memory remains
like the fragrance of a rare flower
that has shed its odor and given Joy
to all who beheld it.
Thy gentle voice is now hushed;
Thy warm, true heart is still,
And on thy young and innocent brow
Is resting deaths cold chill.
Thy hands are clasped on thy breast,
We have kissed thy lovely brow;
And in our hearts We know
We have no darling now.
That lovely bud, so young, so fair,
Called home by early doom,
Just came to show how sweet a flower
In Paradise could bloom.
Where no sin can harm or sorrow
fade
Death came with friendly care,
That flower to heaven did send
And bids it blossom there.

No Case for Damages.

The man went to consult a lawyer.
&" vas thrown out of a theatre
he said, land l want damages"
Estate the circumstances" said the
lawyer.
The man told how it happened and
the lawyer nodded approvingly.
They had NO right to do it," he
asserted. you have an excellent
case"
Il want big damages" said the
man.
"You a get the measily,sn said
the lawyer. ut was an outrageous
and ~high-handed procedure. Wen
bring the manager into court and
make him sweat for it."
The pleased client was departing
when the lawyer stopped him.
"By the way" he said, what was
the play?"
"The emotional actress, Henrietta
S~Quealer, in Camille" said the client.
The lawyer tore up his notes in dis
gust.
"I've seen her." he said, "and I
won't take the case"
rs she a friend of yours?" asked
the client.
Friend of mine!!" roared the law
yer. mo. But I've seen her, and
I know you're not entitled to any
damages for being put out while she
was playing. If they'd strapped you
to a seat and made you sit through
the whole performance I'd undertake
to get big enough damages to bust
the theater, but you can't expect to
get paid for a piece of good luck"

will CONFER TOMORROW.
Senator Meyer Promises to Meet the
Local Bar.

Senator Meyer of Carbon county
has promised to be in the city tomor-
row night, on his way to Helena, and
will meet the members of the bar in
conference on the subject of the pro-
posed judicial district which it Is
agreed is absolutely necessary Tor
the proper transaction of court mat
tiers. in Yellowstone county, but con-
corning the composition of which
there is a marked disagreement be-
tween the senator and the people OF
this county. Notwithstanding the
protests that have been made to him
against carrying out his idea OF join
ing Fergus and Yellowstone counties
he is still insistent and it is regarded
as extremely doubtful whether he can
be made to accept the view entertain
ed acre that the new district could
be properly composed of Yellowstone
and Rosebud counties.
He says that he is opposed on me
ground of economy, alleging that as at
present constituted Fergus county is
a district of itself and that the judge
presiding could easily take care OF
the business of the two counties,
thereby saving to the state the salary
of another judge. Those who claim
to be able to see through a milestone
when it has a hole permitting pene-
tration of vision, are of the opinion
that the plea of economy is only a
subterfuge t o hide the real purpose
of the gentleman's opposition. They
say that teal of the appointment of a
Judge lad interim, by the governor
who would probably be friendly to the
so-called "Heinze movement" is the
moving cause of the stand taken by
| the carbon statesman. Acting on this
presumption they do not intend to
give up the fight they are making and
may decide to appeal to some OF the
other senators and ask their assist
ance to create a new district in ac-
cordance with their ideas of proper
| ton and the fitness of things. !.

Sad News from Washington for Bill
ings People.

From Mondays Daily Gazette.
The receipt of the news from Wash
ington, in which a statement is made
that Congressman-elect Dixon has
been informed by Representative Can
non that it would be impossible for
the house to reach the Grow reserva-
ton treaty bill at this session, is dis
appointing to the people throughout
the eastern part of the state, and es-
pecially so to the residents of the
city.
When Senator Clark notified the
Commercial club that the bill might
possibly be enacted into law at this
session of congress, providing certain
amendments were made, the people
were jubilant and entertained high
hopes that the day for the issuance
of an executive proclamation declar-
ing the northern part OF the reserva-
ton open to settlement was near at
hand. But the news from Washing
ton printed today is in the nature OF
a notice that nothing further will be
accomplished at this session.
1t is now nearly four years since
the Indians made a treaty with a gov
eminent commission for the sale OF
certain lands belonging to the trib9s
AS the treaty was made the senate
once enacted it into law, but at the
same session of congress the measure
was defeated in the house by Mr..
Cannon and one or two other mem
beers, who made a bitter protest
against certain features of the bill.
That Mr.. Cannon, who will probably
be the next speaker of the house, as
sures Mr.. Dixon that he will cooper
ate with him at the next session OF
congress for the speedy passage OF
the measure, still leaves room for the
people of eastern Montana to believe
that the accomplishment of an object
SO long desired will be realized within
the next year.
