THE SORRY LOT OF MILLIoNAIREs.

To profit by travel the head must be first educated
man get neither comfort, pleasure or profit out
of travel Most wait till they get rich and
jaded and then they fancy that they can only be
dropped down where there is something to see
their money is bound to carry them through. Such
men go abroad and nothing. AS travellers they
are failures They think they ought to enjoy some
thing after all their waiting. The editor of the
Atlantic Monthly in addressing a graduating class
of $40 at Smiths Woman's college the other day,
said
"a faded millionaire trying to get pleasure out
of too long deferred holiday in Europe is one of
the most depressing spectatces For 20 or 80 years
he has been amassing fortune with the pluck and
energy which all admire. And here he is set
down in Paris Dresden or Florence ignorant of
the language the history the architecture the ideas
of the country. He is good fellow but he is home
SICK listless, Indifferent He is taking his holiday
too late. Curiosity Imagination sympathy have
burned out of him in that fierce competitive strug-
gle where his life forces have been spent"
This will be the condition of, perhaps, the bulk
of American tourists this summer. The penalty
of the money is most generally the starvation

A SERIOUS PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED.
M. M. NJ kDoc *, EDITo r.

The prolifcness Of the negro is nowhere ques-
toned. Whether crossbred or inbred, he multiplies
in ratio which but one other race equals. The
number of colored people in the United States that
is people who are recognized as colored, is double
that of Lincoln's time. 1t will not be many years
before there are 30 O0O0O8~ colored people in this
country. majority of these viii have white
blood coursing their veins. For that matter the
bigger half will be white than black. But they
will all be viewed and considered "colored" OF the

own the homes and farms which they live, where
a few years ago they did not their own
bodies. As this racial question is coming more
and the front every day, the people of this
country without regard to party politics, will
have to study and determine the question of how to
get along with the negro Lynching cannot be the
solution. The schoolhouse points the way, but we
would do well to cultivate any unnecessary race
hatreds. They viii only tend to make the final
solution much more difficult. There is probably
promise Of solution to be found in the school
house than in any other direction Still education
in proving partial solution for the north will not
in the same degree prove such, for the south While
IL is racial prejudice both north and SOUTH it is of

COMPROMISE VERDICT.
GIendive Murderer Escapes with Sen
tence of imprisonment.

A compromise verdict was returned
in the case of the fellow Kinahan,
tried last week at Glendive for MUIR
dering Thomas MCGOWAN and an un-
known man and wounding William
Mensing. kinahan and man who
gave his name as j. B. Wilson, were
arrested for assaulting three harvest
ers. August /, who were attempting
to leave Glendive secreted in freight
car. Robbery was the motive and
during the fight that ensued one of the
harvesters was killed outright and
second died from his wounds some
days after, while the third, Mensing.
was dangerously wounded.
Kinahan was found guilty of MUIR
der in the second degree. with recon-
mendation that the court impose the
extreme penalty, life Imprisonment.
1t is said that on the first ballot the
jury stood II for conviction of murder
in the first degree, and one for acquit-
tai. Rather than have a mistrial, the
men who were for conviction as charg-
ed gave in and the other agreed to
vote for second degree murder.

nafd name. 1t came from the
Black Hills, where it's members were
ordered out, not being permitted to
stop at any of the cities, while the
sheriffs Of the different counties saw
to 1t that they tarried no longer than
was absolutely necessary for them
to hitch up their scraggy animals and
go beyond county lines. Reason for
this was that this particular band of
Gypsies turned out to be more than
ordinarily audacious in their thieving
operations. They stopped a rancher
on the highway near Deadwood and
in broad daylight relieved him of his
money and other valuables he had
about his person. Arrests were made.
but because the victim of the robbery
could not identify the perpetrators
they had to be released, for to the
poor rancher all Gypsies looked alike.
In addition to this piece of highway
robbery they also cut fences and
through the gaps made turned their
horses into fields to Craze. Gardens
and fields we're raided by them and
vegetables and forage carried of. This
the men did, while the women all
the time were sneaking into stores
and residences in the towns and cities
and with the expertness of long prac-
tice stole whatever they could con-
cea1 under their skirts or aprons.
It was in response to the continual
complaints made to them that the
officers acted in concert and the Gyp-
sizes, like the Cinnamon in some min
ing camps, had to "go." Billings was
about the only place on their route,
for they struck out for the northwest,
and here they are.
While they continue hereabouts it
is suggested by those familiar with
their habits that eyes be not taken
off them as long as they are in store
or house. Best of all, perhaps, would
be not to permit them to enter.
Gypsies will steal.

there is the freedom from mosquitoes

RECORDS DEEDS OF DARING.
Old Timer in Possession Of a Coin
with Interesting History.

That coin lacks only three years
OF being 200 years DID," remarked
George Towne, resident of Bridger
and veteran trail blazer, to party
OF friends in this city yesterday as
he pulled from his pocket coin bear
ing the imprint of the British gov
ernment in the early part OF the eigh-
'teenth century.
The way Mr.. Towne came into pos
session of the relic is interesting
history. Shortly after the Minnesota
massacre OF whites by the Santee
Sioux Indians in the sixties Mr.
Towne in his travels with a number
of friends was attacked by small
band OF Indians who were out on a
pilfering and numbering expedition
One of the Indians which Mr.. Towne
sent over the divide on that occasion
carried the coin around his neck and
it was then that the gentleman ap-
prOpriated it as souvenir of the
event. A few years later Mr.. Towne
exhibited the coin to party of San
tees who visited a trading point in
the upper Missouri river country near
the mouth of the Musselshell and the
Indians explained the meaning of the
hieroglyphics which almost deface
the coinage marks of the Britons.
"These visiting Indians said Mr..
Towne, Stated that the Indian signs
on the coin represented the number of
scalps taken from both whites and
Indians with whom they were at war;
Even in those days the coin was
much admired by the Indians when
exhibited by Mr.. Towne, as it signi-
fed that the warrior who recorded up.
on its face the number OF scalps taken
in battle measured his Importance ac-
cordingly as brave and fearless
fighter
The relic has been in Mr. Towne's
possession 32 years and it is his inten.
tion to present it to the State Histori-
cal society in the near future with a
brief account of it's history.

they were led by 1t to the south, down
Twenty y-fifth street, to the fiat in rear
of the collection of shacks at the
eastern end of Minnesota avenue.
In looking about Mr.. Sayles saw an
old cellar and noticed that some OF
the earth at the top had been dis.
placed recently. He went to the hole
and saw the safe at the bottom. AID.
prising Mr.. Hubbard of his discovery,
he and the sheriff climbed down to
where the safe was lying. BY the side
OF it was heavy sledge, wrapped
in piece of cloth. The cloth was
torn and ragged, showing that it had
been tied about the hammer so as to
deaden the noise of the blows. The
hinges of the safe had been broken
on, also the dial of the combination,
but the door had resisted the efforts
made to open it and as near as could
be seen the contents were intact.
A wagon was secured and the safe
hauled back to the saloon. Here Mr..
Sayles brought his knowledge of ex-
plosives into play and soon had the
door open. A little powder placed
into the hole left by the removal Of
the dial did the work. Everything
inside was found untouched. Among
other things in the safe in the safe
was almost $1,000 in currency and
coin.
1t is believed that the robbers
knew the safe contained considerable
money and took advantage OF the fact
to make haul Their ignorance,
however, prevented them from being
successful and aside from the money
they took from the cash register and
the excitement they caused their
nights work netted differently than
they had calculated it would.
Have No Clues.
The men who were seen by Mr..
Ballard were all masked, having hand
kerchiefs fastened to the lower parts
of their faces, leaving only the eyes
exposed. This made recognition or
identification impossible and because

to see what was going on, Mr.. Bal
lard could not describe the clothing
worn by the robbers or tell anything
as to their height or general appear
