"Rooze" Brightness.

When Governor Joseph K. Toole ct
Montana, was in New York a few
weeks ago he told story illustrative
of the faculty Of well known lawyer
il his state to say the, right thing at
the right time. This lawyer friend
is an old ;imer in. Montana and has
long held q leading place at the Mon
tana bar, but be is inclined at times
to linger too long over the flowing
bowl. At usch times he loses all idea
of location and though be has lived
in one neighborhood for twenty years
aud has general idea of the location
of his home. to reach it he always has
to have assistance, not in walking.
but to give the direction.
One evening the governors lawyer
friend started home, a little the worse
for wear, with his tongue thick and
his ideas Of location hazy. By acci-
dent he took the right street, but when
he cot within a block of his home
he was unable to tell where he was.
A bright idea came into his befuddled
brain. He would inquire at the near
eest house.
He rang the bell and the daughter
of the house-appeared. She knew
him. and when he asked her in as
clear tones as he was capable of to
Sell hi m where his house was she
pointed TO il. The governors friend
thanked her effusively and many times.
In order to cut short the conversation
the young woman said: Don't men-
tion it; don't mention it.
"I never will if you WON'T" was
the reply of the lawyer.

TWO CUTTING scRAPEs.
Richard Holmes and Frank Holmes
Badly Wounded.

Saturday was an unlucky day for
negroes named Holmes Two of them
-brothers-were seriously cut by 9th
er negroes.
Frank Holmes was cut and painfully
wounded Saturday morning in front
of the disper sary by Clifton Durant,
who got mad with Frank because he
refused to &C into the dispensary aid
buy bottle of whiskey when ordered
to do so BY Durant. He slashed
Frank in the side with keen knife,
inficting an ugly wound that required
dozen stitches. Holmes lost a good
deal of blood. but as no vital organ was
reached he il, in no danger Of death.
Durant was, tried in the Recorder Is
court Monday, and, being convicted,
was sentenced to pay line OF $50 OF
serve 80 days on the chain gang.
Saturday night crowd OF negro
gamblers assembled at the house OF
William Vau CHAN on Purdy street and
played skin until late hour. Some
time after midnight several of them
got into row and created so much
racket that the others, fearing the
police, stopped the fracss and told the
gang that they had better go out OF
town if they wanted to continue the
row. The game was then adjourned,
thes whole crowd going out on West
Liberty street, towards the Richardson
place which is said to be a common
and much ...requented resort OF the
negro gamblers. However before they
reached the place frequented by them
the row was renewed and Walter
Peterson cu; Richard Holmes with a
razor inAic;ing a horrible wound
across the throat The wind pipe was
exposed and the big arteries and veins
were missed by a hairs breadth. AL
but two of the negroes ran off, leaving
Holmes lying in the road bleeding
prufusely aud apparently dying.
Holmes was cut about 2 o'clock Sun
day morning, and it was nearly 4
O'Clock before he received medical at.
tention. He is very seriously wounded
and while lis recovery is probable he
may yet succumb to his injuries.
Peterson was pursued and after q
long chase was captured by George
Richardson, one Of the negroes in the
crowd who was a friend of Holmes.
Peterson was sent to Jail Monday by
Magistrate Wells to await trial at the

Cafes and lunch-roorns are filed with mer
and women who seem to give all their tim.
and attention to thoughts of properly or
improperly feeding their stonachs. 1T is
of course best to eat slowly, but not too
much says DR.. Pierce. chief consulting
physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Sur
gical Institute, of Buffalo, n. Y. In this
2oth century people devote SO much time
to head work that their brain is tagged and
there isn't sufficient blood left to properly
take care of the other organs of the body.
The stomach must be assisted in its hard
work-the liver started into action-by the
use of a good stomach tonic, which should
be entirely of vegetable ingredients and
without alcohol. After years of experience
in an active practice, DR.. Pierce discovered
a remedy that suited these conditions in a
blood maker and t~issne-builder. He called
it DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
IA Alternative extract that assists in the
digestion and assimilation of the food il
the stomach-so that the blood gets what
it needs for food and oxidation, the liver IS
at the same time started into activity and
there is perfect elimination Of waste mas
ter. When the blood is pure and rich, al
the organs work without effort, and the
body IS like a perfect machine.
