GOT OFF EASY.
Girl Tramp Punished Slightly for
Stealing Revolver.

When Jennie Morrison, the girl
tramp, was turned over by Sheriff
Hubbard to the sheriff of Butte, it
was understood that she was to be
taken back there to stand trial on the
charge Of burglary, and predictions
we're made that she and her consort,
the fellow Grant, arrested here with
her for vagrancy, would probably
both receive terms in the penitentiary.
Instead, however. the girl who has
an overweaning fondness for travelling
in boys clothing and associating with
hohoes and criminals was given a
shot jail sentence.
1t developed that she had stolen a
revolver from the m who be-
friended her and gave her a home
after her first release from the Butte
Jail. The charge of burglary could
not stand, as the girl was an inmate Of
the house from which she stole the
weapon. Accordingly a complaint al
leging petty larceny was entered
against her. To this she pleaded
guilty last week and was sentenced
to 10 days in Jail.
For the first time the young woman
manifested any shame or remore and
is said to have wept bitterly az the
justice of the peace before whom she
was arraigned talked to her about the
wickedness and folly of her career and
advised her to reform and to return to
her mother. When she ascertained
that instead of having to go to the
state prison she was to be let off with
a short s~ojourn in the county Jail her
old manner speedily reasserted itself
and she declared that she would
never be good and would never &c
home.
The man was held, although no for
NAL charge had been entered against
him and at last accounts was trying
to regain his liberty on a writ Of
habeas corpus.

INTERCEPTED THE. CARS NAH

A very striking proof of the czar' s bondage was recently afforded when the czar dispatched one of his personal fa- vorites, certain NJ. Klopoff, into the central provinces of Russia to report on the true condition of affairs there. about which he had previously received official information. He desired to test the accuracy of bureaucratic reports, but he knew that letters from NJ. Klopoff direct to him would inevitably be opened and suppressed if they con- tained statements of which officiaIdom disapproved. Tn order to avoid this espoinage he ordered NJ. Klopoff to mail his reports in small envelopes of the pattern used for private letters, not straight to the palace, but to the ad- dress in St Petersburg of a certain Gen eral Hesse General Hesse was en7 trusted with the secret and he under took personally to carry all the letters received from M. Klopoff to the czar. NJ. Klopoff went on his mission, but out Of eighteen letters which he posted to General Hesse for the czar only five reached their destination A strong ruler would doubtless make vigorous effort to liberate himself from this tyranny, but the czar is essentially a weak man. The unhealthy. pale, all most gray color of his complexion be- trays his want of physical health and strength, while the amazing inconsis- tencies of his reign indicate successive surrenders to conflicting influences. It is characteristic of his weakness that he never strikes out a new line of thought or action on his own initiative, and that his decision on any given question of policy is nothing more than the choice which of two or more courses recommended to him by differ ent advisers shall be followed. He is never a leader like the German em- peror, but is continually being led V some influential man or group of men Success.

OUTPOSTS IN TOUCH
St. Petersburg Expecting a
 Great Battle.
THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND IN ARMS
Kuropatlztn Has an Immense Ex- tended Line, Which the Japanese Will Try to Strike In Flank
 and ReaR.

LONDON, June 2S.-AdviceS from St. Petersburg say that report from Lieutenant General Sacharoff confirms the belief that the great decisive battle of the campaign between General Ku- ropatkin's main army and the armies of Generals Kuroki and Oku is immi- nent The three armies probably ag- gregate 100000 men, and their out posts are in touch all along the line.
 The Japanese evidently tried to draw Kuropatkin as far south as possible, holding out as an incentive a check to the advance of Oku's main army. Meantime Oku swung sharply to the eastward to join Kurol1i toward the Chapan pass, Kuroki at the same time moving strong force by the right flank toward Haicheng.
 The main Japanese advance contin- ues along the main Fengwangcheng- Liaoyang road, avoiding the Maotien pass by a detour to the northward The advance at all points is being at tended by constant skirmishing.
 Nothing is known here of the. exact point at which Kuropatkin's main LOICS lS COltCC11l1dICNs LhOuSh IL 4o " lieved that large part of the Liao- yang force has been moved to point between Kinchau and Tatchekiao.
 According to dispatches from Ia tchekiao, a large force has pushed southward from Tatchelkiao against Oku While Kuropatkin is thus ex- tending himself the Japanese, with great mobility, seem to be trying to concentrate for the purpose of striking the Russians in flank and rear.
 A brief dispatch from Rear Admiral Withoft, naval commander at Port Ar thur, throws little additional light on the sea fight off Port Arthur. The ad- miralty and the emperor are awaiting further details with the same eager ness as the general public. The latter for the first time received information through the medium of foreign tele- grams that fight had occurred.
 The loss of three vessels of the Port Arthur fleet is admitted to be a severe blow, especially if not purchased by greater loss to the Japanese than re ported by Vice Admiral Togo.

STOCKING LORE.
No More Openwork-A Trick Which
 Gives Fat Women Slim Ankles.


 Gives Fat Women Slim Ankles.
 Open work stockings have had their day. They are Dismal Swamp, dirt cheap this season Shopkeepers are almost ready to give them away. There was never anything very chic about a stocking, that did not even half conceal a woman's ankles. And nothing makes the ankle look so trim and facinating as a fine, plain black silk stocking, such as can be drawn through wedding ring. A little hand embroidery is permissible, but nothing else in the way of establishment.
 Fay Templeton has hit on a scheme for making her ankle look as trim as "a fawn's and all the fat women might as well adopt the patent.
 Gee whizy' says the man at the roof garden. How can such a sweet little ankle hold up so much flesh ?"
 But the woman who sees everything solves the problem in an instant. The actress has an extra piece woven into the back of her stocking running up about boot high, so that only the front of her ankle is really visible. That looks slim and trim enough to satisfy the most exacting connoisseur in leg ologv-
 There Is new stocking called the violet lisle which Is exceedingly pretty and promises to be very popular Tn texture it is exactly like fine voile dress material and is decidedly diaph- anous without really having any open work about 1t. One advantage is dts low price.
 There is no reason why a woman with even very limited allowance for dress need deny herself silk hosi- cry. By taking a dozen pairs she can get them in any wholesale house at wholesale prices. and a dozen pairs can be made last almost year with scrupulous care.

Principle. and Practice.

The question Of soil fertility is the
most important one before the agricul-
tural producer today. Fertile soil is
the foundation Of his business. When
fertility fails production fails, and a
nonproductive farm is about the poor
est property there is. But the mainte-
nance or the restoration Of soil fertl-
ity is governed by certain principles
which are not yet sufficiently UNDER
stood or applied by farmers. II they
were we should have no fertility prob
lem. Methods may differ: some may be
better than others. These each individ-
ual must determine for himself; no one
else can do. it for him. But II he keeps
the principles always in view he will
work out the problem.

Blind Mays Singing School.

In this game n player must be
b%lindfolded to take the part of teacher.
The rest of the party compose the class
and sit in a line facing her.
She then informs her class that they
will begin the lesson by singing the
scales. The head girl or the one at the
end of the line Immediately sings "Ah!"
and the next "Ah!" a little higher or
lower, just as she chooses, and so it
goes all the way down the line, each
singing a note in any way that she
may wish. The teacher must listen at
tentively, and any time she thinks she
recognizes a voice she stops the class
and calls the singer by anne. If she
guesses correctly she changes places
with the pupil, who in turn becomes
teacher, but il not she must keep on
guessing.
Every time a new teacher is selected
the whole class must change seats, SO
that the voices may not be recognized
by the direction from which they
come.
A little variety may be introduced
into the game by singing a well known
song instead of scales, each pupil sing
ing the word which comes to her to
supply. 1t is the privilege of each
teacher to direct her class to sing
whatever she may choose, either song
or exercise.

boy, who was from the moment of his
birth a king, used to give way when a
child to some very unkingly outbursts
Of temper, and as he had a keen sense
Of his royal dignity the queen mother
talked to him very seriously n day
on the Importance Of self control in a
monarch. The next time he was about
to indulge in some childish outburst
he checked himself suddenly and was
silent. you see, I remembered I was

La.soed His Big Catch.

Frank Rogers Of South Orrington,
Me-, has quite a fish tied up at his
wharf on the river shore, says the Ken
nebec Journal. He caught a sturgeon
eight feet long, weighing $50 pounds, in
his salmon net and has him fastened
by a rope so that he can swim around
in the creek. People who wish to see
him pull him ashore, and after the in
spection the big sturgeon wiggles back
into deep water. The sight is quite a
treat to those who have eve seen
quite so large a fish, and many en-
brace the opportunity.
