there is a vast amount of snow in

AN INTERESTING LETTER
From a Foreigner Who is Visiting in
Montana,


TRANSLATED for the Bee.)
Butte, Mont, Dec. "a, 1902.
My Dear Brother Constantine:
| have at last reacneu the city of
Butte, said to be the greatest min
ing camp on earth. 1t is a peculiar
place, palatial residences and miser-
able novels alternating in hopeless
tumble. have met people dressed
in tailor made gowns and others in
overalls, jostling each other on the
streets of Butte, and to me, it is a
question which has the most money
to back it's pretensions to affiuence.
I have seen the residence of Sena-
tor w. A. Clark and that of his son,
Charles w. Clark, the latter looks
to me like a splendid tomb or a home
for the safe keeping Of wealthy luna
tics. The windows are barred like a
Jail. and the yard is succeed with
cobble stones, because there is not
grass enough in Butte to build a
swallows nest.
l cannot realize that I am in re-
public, because l fail to see any evil
dences of republican simplicity, or
that air of independence, which, the
Doctrinairs tell us, should be in evil
dence in all we'll regulated communi-
ties. What | have seen strengthens
my belief that the government of the
car is the most perfect for man.
The great Corsican once said that
there are but two forms of govern
men. for the proper guidance of hui
man affairs, the absolute republic,
which is poets Dream and the
other the absolute monarchy, such as
we have in our beloved Russia.
Butte is owned by one corporation
and two individuals, viz: The Anal
gamated Copper company, w. A.
Clark and F. Aug. Heinze.
The Amalgamated company was
not founded for philanthropic pur-
poses. 1t does not pose as the bene-
factor of mankind, and in it's deal
ings with committees or individuals
it never fails to exact it's pound of
flesh: still, however bad its record
may be elsewhere. the charge o. in,
gratitude cannot be laid against ii
in Butte. It's supporters here are le
gion, while it's enemies are simply
the paid hirelings of some other
"soulless" corporation, who must
shout or they cannot eat. They are

The new half rate clergy permits
that are about to be issued by the

are good on all lines between st. Paul
and Chicago; also on all lines Of

A Scientific Discovery.

Kodol does for the stomach that
which it is unable to do for itself,
even when but slightly disordered or

muscles of that organ are allowed

Instinct of the Mudf1sh.

The remarkable instinct of the mud
fish to roll himself in a ball of mud
when the dry season approaches is a
wonderful provision of nature intend
ed solely, it would seem, to prevent the
extinction OF the species. The most in
teresting fact about this fish is that it
breathes my means of its gills when in
its native element and by means of
lungs during its voluntary imprison-
ment in the mud cocoon.

The incapacity OF the average Eng

lack OF imagination. partly to . half
conscious belief that everything which
Is worth saying at all can be said Ia

Novel Scheme Ie PractIced In the
"Prosreritv Belt"

Down IN the Prosperity belt as
we call it. we've got the whole world

week. After delivering this declara-
ton he bit the end of cigar AID set

Eyes. stree. we beat the world for

We've got something down In central
Illinois that you won't find anywhere
else on the globe. It's telephone
clearing house. We call it a clear
ing-house right here in Chicago or IN
New York. Now you'd think banks
couldn't clear their checks BY tele-
phone, but, as l said before, we beat
the world for progress and have In
vented the new system.
THE whole scheme Is very simple
and has proved safeguard against
some Of the tugaboos that worry
banksrs-Such things as overdrafts
| for instance. Every day ct noon one
bank will call up another by tele-
phone, read off the amount OF the
checks and the names of the drawers.
Some of these checks will b, on the
bank at the other end Of the wire and
some Of them will be drawn on an In
stItution with which that bank has
considerable business.
Nov. you see, half dozen or more
banks In one county or section OF the
state can arrange certain time for
calling up some one bank. which Is
the central bank All the banks call
this one, notifying it they have checks
on 1t or upon any OF the others.
When each bank has found out
how much 1t owes the other banks up
until q certain hour drafts are for
warded to cover the balances. By
using the telephone Clearinghouse we
expedite business. saving an entire
