year in the penitentiary a relieved
look came over the countenance Of
the pumpkin colored defendant. She
had escaped much easier than she
had hoped for. To her attorney she
said she did not want a new trial
nor an appeal; that she was ready tc
serve her IL months and be through
with the whole thing as soon as pos.
sible.
This morning she was arraigned for
sentence. This was speedily pro.
nounced and she was taken back to
Jail to prepare for her trip to Deer
Lodge, as Sheriff Hubbard left with
her on the North Coast Limited, a
few hours afterward.
He Demurred Successfully.
Ten days will have to pass before
Ed Mcfarland will know whether he
is going to be tried on the charge
of passing a forged check or whether
his attorney, A. G. Hatch of Big TIM
Der, has something else up his slee/e
to cause another postponement or
possibly a complete discharge.
Mcfarland and Mr.. Hatch were in
court this morning in accordance with
a previous notice that on this day a
demurrer would be filed to the infor-
nation alleging that the defendant
had forged and passed a check pur-
porting to have been drawn by AL.
Thomas.
1t seems that the check which Nc
Farland is said to have forged and
uttered was destroyed by the man
who cashed it, thus removing a very
important piece of evidence. In
drawing the complaint this fact was
not set forth. Instead what purported
to be a copy of the wording of the
check was contained in the informa-
ton, accompanied by a statement
that a accurate description was
unknown, or words to that effect. This
proved to be a fatal error, it seems.
In the demurrer it was alleged that
the information failed to charge that
the check had been destroyed or with
held by the act or procurement of
the defendant. A second clause of
the demurrer was that the information
was faulty because it charged two
separate and distinct offenses, in that
the defendant was charged, first, with
making the alleged forged check with
intent to defraud; second, that he
was charged in the same count with
uttering the check with intent to de-
and that he was further charged
with intent to defraud three or more
persons.
After hearing the arguments the
court sustained the demurrer and
granted the prosecution 10 days in
to file a new information. The
bond of the defendant was ordered
increased from $500 to $3.50.
The unexpected turn taken by the
Mcfarland case completely d~isarrang-
ed the calendar and left the court
without any case prepared for trial.
The case of State VS.. Louis Leon,
with assault in the first de-
gree was next on the docket, but set
forsstomorrow. 1t was decided to ad-
vance it and the task of securing a
jury was undertaken. The following
were finally selected to try the mat
ter:
A. ]. Hart, Peter Peroe, J. ]. Dun
lavey, James Phillips, William Wal
ker, E.. G.. Summers, A. G.. Rich, j.

morrow morning at 9 o'clock.

SECRET OF SUCCESS.
SeIf-COnfdence the Foundation of All
Successful Careers.
Philadelphia Ledger.

Philadelphia Ledger.
S~elf-confidence is the explanation of all
successful careers. 1t is a virtue that
should be carefully cultivated in the young,
for the lack of self-trust may amount to
complete self-effacement in the competi-
tons of life. There was something i'm
posing in the excessive self-reliance of Ma
poleon, who declared if there were no one
to make cannon and gunpowder he could
make them. at is 1 alone who have ar
ranged the finances, you know" This is
colossal egotism. it is true, but it was the
motive power that made Napoleon one. of
the most magnificent military successes in
history. 1t is better to possess the quality
of self-conidence in excess than not to pos
sess it at all. Montaigne, among the
shrewdest of practical philosophers, says:
ITO speak less of himself than he possess
eth is folly and not modesty.' Offense lies
not in relying upon ones self, but in speak
ing boastfully of one ability and exploits.
A writer observes that some offensive ego
lists are of indispensable Importance to the
carrying on of American life, whom we
could ill spare; any one OF them would be
a national loss. But it spoils conversation.
They are ever trusting their pampered self
between you and them. . Nature
utilizes misers, fanatics, cyclists, to ac-
complish her ends, but we must not think
better of the foible for that"
S~elf-contidence is, therefore, to be care
fully distinguished from self-praise, which,
even in the greatest of men, is intolerable.
A man should believe in himself, but he
should not advertise his merit by his own
proclamation. 1t was the injunction of a
famous artist, Ito confide in ones self, and
b. something of value" When this Is
ones mental attitude toward ones self, a
long step has been taken in the path to
success.
Se~lf-confdence is the offspring of self
respect. ITO think meanly of ones self is
to sink. Feel yourself and be not daunted
by things" Those are the precepts which
inspire men to worthy. if not famous
achievements. A great deal may be ex-
pected from a man WHO, in a new, difficult
and untried position, acts as if he had a
right to be there. 1t is related that the
SaXons were taught to believe that they
would be first, and the aggressive energy
of the race may be due TO this primitive
inspiration.
Though it may seem an afiiction, the
young man who stands alone has an OPP
portunity 10 test his manhood. and such
opportunities should be welcomed. Go
forward with hope and confidence" was
the best advice which the sage could give
to the youth who desired to learn the
mystery of success. Self-confidence can
never be learned in seclusion. 1t is nur-
tured In the school of the world, by con-
course, it will be understood that we are
not encouraging the overweening self-con-
fidence that despises the advice of expert
ence; but we must learn to try our own
wings, TO trust our own powers, If we are
to make notable progress in the world.

THE WIFE OF TOLST0I.
A Clever Woman Who Has Wisely In
fuenced Her Erratic Husband.

The Gentlewoman.
The Countess Tolstoi is generally known
as the wife of the great novelist and re-
ligious teacher, Leo Tolstoi, but it is only
because she persistently keeps herself in the
background that she has not a separate
reputation as a writer, a remarkable lin
gust, and a brilliant society leader. The
Countess Tolstoi at home, whether in her
suburban Moscow home, or upon the family
estate some miles distant, Yasnaya Poly
ana, near Tula, is a charming woman of the
world, speaking, perfectly, English, French
or German, as the visitor prefers, eager to
discuss the latest books Of Paris, London,
New York or Berlin; a grande dame of the
old school, dressed simply, but with ex-
quisite taste, and wearing a few jewels
which are heirlooms and of much value.
She is very fond of Yasnava PClyana,
which came to Count Tolstoi through his
grandfather, one of Catherine the Greats
generals. But the stone gates at the en-
trance to the park and a few separate
buildings of the old manor house. used in
former days as extra apartments for the
servants of visitors or actors hired for the
entertainment of the household, are about
all that now remain OF the ancestral hall.
In 1860, the present count, always an erratic
man, decided he would never marry, and
thereupon sold the manor house, which was
taken to pieces and set up again upon the
estate of the purchaser. 1t was but a short
time later that he met the young daughter
of a Moscow physician who made him for
get all his plans and resolutions. Two years
later they were married, In 1862, and the
count brought his bride to Yasnaya Polyana.
She was more than twenty years younger
than he, and although she spent the first
seventeen years of her married life in this
lonely place, living in a small building left
standing after the manor house was taken
down, she was extremely happy when the
Moscow house was built and she could be
often in the city. The count was much away
from home upon tours of literary investiga-
ton when they lived in the country. and the
complete isolation OF the countess during
those seventeen years was a sacrifice which
would not have been made by any but an
exceptionally brave woman and clever wife.
There was an avenue OF splendid old birch
trees at Yasnaya Polyana 10 which the
countess is especially partial. and the house
is now a commodious and modern dwelling,
so she Is we'll contented 10 pass the summer

tunity to experiment with his socialistic
doctrines. The house is simply built but
comfortable, and the library is ~overrunning
with books, as the count receives from the
author or publisher almost every important
book as soon as ii is published. There the
countess presides over a large household.
Three of her children are married and often
at home, then the count has generally stay
ing with him one or two disciples who have
come to him as a great teacher of religion
and socialism, while seldom a week passes
that some traveller from abroad does not
journey there to pay his respects 10 the
great writer and his wife.
The Moscow home. where the countess
SAYS she has spent some of her happiest
years, was built by the count some years
ago. and stands in a pleasant garden in the
suburbs, where the family lives almost as
quietly as in the country. Ii is a low, two
story house of brick. p1astered on the out
side as is the custom in Russia, and with
small windows. A brick wall seven feet high
surrounds ii entirely. which Is covered with
clinging vines and screens a small orchard
and pleasant places to stroll or lounge In

the first floor where visitors are generally

a dainty tea table always ready for the
