DEFINITION OF A LUXURIOUS DINNER.
What San Francisco Man Considers Ideal Iury

~~~
~~~~

Some years ago San Francisco
man was invited to big dinner. He
was out of town at the time, SO the
invitation was sent by wire, but the
telegraph company failed to deliver
the message in anything like reasona-
BILE time. He missed the feed and was
so cut up over the matter that he sued
the company for damages. In his
complaint he stated that through the
nonreceipt of that telegram he missed
the exceeding pleasure of consuming
one Luxurious dinner" to his great
disappointment and deprivation. On
that phrase Luxurious dinner" the
learned counsel for the telegraph COM
pany sought to score. but alas! utterly
ruined the company's case thereby,
for in the west the sense of humor is
aptly termed the sixth sense.

sci. with due solemnity, lis your idea

are not approachable by man except
from the sea. And, of course, the
moment a boat comes in sight the
big animals slide into the water and
swim away.
So the only way to capture them is
to catch them while they are in the
water. And aG they are SO quick
and haunt such dangerous parts of
the coast. it is not possible to hunt
them with large vessels. and the
fishermen" must risk themselves in
small open boats.
They try to row in swiftly enough
to reach the water near the shore at
about the same moment that the sea
lions are sliding into it to swim Off
If the boats succeed in getting among
them the men in the bows try to
throw lasso around their necks be-
fore they dive.
This in itself is not easy. And add
ed to 1t is the fact that the sea lions
are fierce and brave animals that
will fight to the end. Therefore,
after one is lassoed he battles saw

BORN TO IMMENSE WEALTH.
Grandson Of Senator W. 4. Brilliant Prospects Of
Any Baby Earth.
~~~~
~~~~~

No babe was ever born in Montana
with such brilliant prospects before it
as the little stranger who recently
came to he home of Mr.. and Mrs. w.
A. Clark. Jr.. says the Butte Inter-
Mountain.
The gandson of Senator W. A.
Clark, this baby is an heir in the
direct line of Montana's multi-mil-
lionaire, his only grandson and, pros
pectively. the heir to the greater por-
tion of his enormous wealth. The
crown prince of Germany will inherit
no more wealth tlan will this young
ter. as yet a scarlet mite of humanity
in this far Western city. The czar of
Russia might be willing to endow a
male heir with an amount approxi-
mately the same as the Clark heirs
prospective fortune, provided he had
a male heir, but no other European
ruler could. Even the present Prince
of Wales, nor even his royal father,
could give an heir such fabulous
wealth as this little child will ulti-
mately control.
No man knows the exact wealth of
Senator Clark. 1t is doubtful if he
knows himself. Various estimates
place it anywhere from s70,0OO.OO0 to
$150,000.O00. Most of it is in property
The Dolores star., 1903-01-16

which is increasing in value by leaps
and bounds. The United Verde cop
per mine. for instance, is a property
the possibilities of which are amazing
when put into dollars and cents.
Such vast wealth as that held by
Senator Clark increases with wonder
full rapidity. Allowing him, say,
$1,0OO,000 a year for board and
clothes, pictures and other minor in
vestments, his fortune doubtless will
net him, outside of these expenses,
easily 10 per cent Estimating the
fortune at 100000, 900, this gives him
$10.000,000 increases every year.
When the little Butte boy is twenty
five years old the Clark fortune held
by the present head of the house, will
thus be $450,UO0,0O0.
There is no other private fortune
in the world. present or prospective,
OF the size of the Clark to-day, or as
it will be twenty-five years hence,
that is to be divided among so few
heirs of the blood. Only six descend
ants of Senator Clark are alive to-day.
1t Is natural to suppose that the
grandson will secure the bulk OF the
fortune. especially If the child's
father names him w. A. Clark

The proposed American statute for
abolition of kissing and fine Of IS
for each indulgence in unhygienic os-
culation is not new. The old Puritan
blue laws of Massachusetts, forbade
the exchange of kisses in public as a
breach of good behavior. This law
has never been repealed, and not very
long ago there was much amusement
and some indignation in Boston at the
arrest of prominent citizen for kiss
ing his wife on the street. Milan has
similar ordinance against kissing or
other amatory demonstrations in pub
lie places. 1t dates from the time of
the Sforzas, and only short time ago
u pair of perfectly respectable lovers
were hailed before a magistrate for
kissing each other In the park. He
ruled that though kiss under such
circumstances was not immoral, It
was Inconsistent with the decorum Of
civilization, and inflicted fine of 12s.
