WOMEN "BUcK THE TIGER"
How the Dealers in a Montana Gam
bling Resort Get the Work
ing Girls Wages.

In Butte, Mont, there Is q gambling
house where the patronage Of ladies
is the special feature Of the manage
ment, and whe-a all kinds OF women
play the good old game of faro, perfectly
at home ant without fear Of interrupt
ton. The entrance Is from an alley near
Broadway. and the house is luxuriously
furnished. Carpets are laid on the
floors. softened lights shine over the
players. courteous attendants deal and
shuttle the cards and pay bets or take
winnings without the slightest sugges-
ton of the incongruity of the situation,
says the Denver Republican.
Here many fashionably gowned wom-
en- of Butte's elite come in parties or in
pairs with Its, to quietly venture sill
yer or goldpieces coined from copper by
their husbands, who busy themselves In
Butte's continuous political war.
Women of the business world keep
track of the game, and both dealer and
player usually maintain rigid silence
Money is passed out for chips with the
simple word. five" or ten, "and con-
versation is economical to minimum.
And there are schemes to inveigle the
unsuspecting that only the initiated I'M
derstand. Many women of the middle
classes are among the most regular pa
irons OF the place. A waiter girl was re-
Gently observed playing her weeks
wages with phenomenal luck. With SIS
she had won $50 and had cashed in her
chips with charming GOODNESS prepared
to go home winner" The dealer paid
her without comment He counted out
the money-two twenty-dollar bills, one
ten, one five, -four dollars In silver, two
half-dollars. She picked up the money,
put the bills in her purse and laid q
half dollar on the ace. It lost. She laid
down a dollar. It won. Another few
moments and she had lost the silver. Re-
luctantly she drew out a.five-dollar note
and began to play again. In few deals
she was playing heavily again. In half
an hour she was broke. II was simple
trick which has won the bank many mill
lions Of dollars after the player cashed
in-the manner Of payment. one,is re-
luctant to break bill, but silver is con-
venient to lay'down on card. and most
gamblers will do It, Before they know II
they are again drawn in to the game.
They sometimes win, 1t is true, for the
games are on the square, but one cannot
win always, and the chance on second
round is in favor Of the tiger"

Mieration Of the ooldenrod.

The Pacific slope has flowers Of its
own, but eastern people there some
times long for even the weeds Of their
old home. A Pennsylyania-bred wom-
an, visiting in New England in the
spring, said she wished that she had
some goldenrod at her home in Wash
ington. Amid all the luxuriance Of that
western state, where they raise roses
by the bushel and cherries by the ton,
she missed the yellow plume Of the
wayside weed Of the other side Of the
Rocky mountains. So when the frost
was out Of the ground her host dug up
a clump of goldenrod roots and sent
them to her, and now they are sprout-
ing near the shore Of Puget sound, the
first plant of the kind in that part Of the
world. It was in just this way that
many OF the common garden flowers
were introduced into America-ths
seeds were sent by friends in the old
world.

plant. Never before at an exposition
has there been even half as much
power developed as supplied from the
various prime movers in the Palace of
Machinery. In large boiler house
standing west Of the Machinery build
ing, filled with the latest and best pro-
auctions of skilled boiler manufactures,
steam is generated to supply 10000
horsepower to the various engines In
the Machinery building. In addition
to this about 10000 horsepower is re-
ceived by electric cable from power sta
tons in the city Of St Louis. But the
greatest interest is in the engines them
selves rather than In the large capacity
of the exhibit, for among them is
giant turbine or rotary engine develop
ing 5000 horsepower, besides others OF
similar type of smaller capacity. This
Is the first display Of turbine engines
at q large exposition, as its develop
ment is a very recent achievement OF
mechanical engineering and invention.
At the Chicago Exposition the larg.
est gas engine developed only ten
horsepower; the visitor to St Louis
may see gas engine with the capacity
of 800 times larger than the Chicago
engine. The 5000 horsepower gas en-
CINE is the largest engine OF Its, char
acter ever built Many other gas en-
gines OF various types developing from
! 1000 to 1850 horsepower complete this
feature of the exhibit, and there are
many of the more familiar reciprocal
ing engines of the latest pattern and
highest efficiency.
OF the total number Of prime movers
In the Palace Of Machinery about one
half are comprised in what Is known a.
the Exposition power plant, the other
half being exhibitors engines. Nearly
all these engines are connected with
electrical generators and the power Il

did not put the little one. who was old

her. She carried It on her lap, and
made room for q fierce-looking, big

exclaimed one woman near whom was

of the beauty Of the cascades and the
magnificence of the grand exposition
palaces. Such is the general verdict.
For beauty, for magnificence, for extent,
ST. Louis has beat the world.
There Is another feature, or rather
collection Of features. which seemingly
appeals to every visitor, and with good
reason, and that is 'The Pike" The
fair management do not wish to appeal
to the public WITH side-shuw. They
built an exposition which should stand
forth to the world on its merits as an
educator. as a monument to the worlds
progress, but realizing that an amuse-
ment feature was necessary they set to
work to proyide the biggest and best In

they have succeeded In this is evident

The shed is six feet high at the in

The runners are 2x6's, the cross pieces
2x4s, and the uprights 2x4's. The roof

the engine room and climbed up flight of
steps TO the second floor where another
brother was working. Before being noticed
he evideHtly tried to climb over steel
shaft about eighteen inches from the floor,
that was connected with pulley running
az full speed. A little cape that he wore
became wrapped around the shaft, and in
an instant the child was caught and rapidly
whirIed around, striking the floor with
terrific force at every revolution. The
brother who was working on that floor,
attempted to rescue the little boy, bus was
unable to do so, and called down stairs TO
his father to shut of steam Before this
could be done, however, the belt flew off
and the end OF the shaft had torn out of the
rix-inch oak blocks into which is was
fastened. AS soon as the horrifed father
could extrlcate the child he carried it to
the house, but it died in few minutes
The little fellow was terribIs mangled, the
