William Lindsay did not accept
bride money to vote for a democra.
for United States senator, neither did
he accept money not to become a can
didate himself for the position. The
Butte Miner and the Helena Indepen'
dent, who are waging a wal of abuse
and villiication on Mr.. Lindsay, are
probably able to tell the rest OF the
story, inasmuch as they claim to
know so much concerning the two
gubernatorial candidates, particularly
Mr.. Lindsay.

Judge Davis should revise his fig
ures concerning the national deficit,
the immensely of which he processes
to deplore so earnestly. AS shown by
the ~treasurer's statement for Septem-
Der the surplus which accumulated in
the treasury for that month was some
thing like six millions. Instead OF
over a hundred millions, as claimed
by Davis, the secretary of the treas
ury had estimated that the deficit at
the end of the fiscal year might pos
sibly be twenty millions, but even21he
finds now that he was in error and
that instead of a shortage there is
more likelihood of no deficit at. all.

Eminently true is the esteemed
Great Falls Tribune in it's statement
that the bill which subsequently be-
came the fellow servant law was writ
ten for the railroad companies, in
stead of for the people who need a
fellow servant law, but it was not a
republican senator in the service OF
the Northern Pacific company who
put up that job on the peoples"
neither was he from Cascade county.
The gentleman responsible for the
job resides in a county not so re.
mote from the Northern Pacitic's line
as Cascade, and he is a democrat.

Aphasia and Amnesia.

Aphasia is an affection akin ito am
nesia, both Of them being the result Of
a disease of the cerebrum. But anne
STA, or loss of memory, manifests it
self in an inability to recall events or
words and in the latter case the sub
stitution Of wrong words in the place
of those intended to be used For in
stance, Il brush might be spoken of as
a comb or dog as q giraffe There is
no loss of the power of articulation. In
aphasia, or loss of speech, on tine other
hand, the sufferer is unable to utter
any connected sentence. His speech is
often the merest babble, with an occa-
sional word interjected. He may I'M
derstand what is read to him, yet be
unable to read-he may have, that is,
word blindness" or he may have
word deafness and be unable to un-
Gerstand. what is said to him.

A Rird Friendship.

The rector of Woolstone. Mr.. Gilbert
Coventry, told me of wild rock dove
which one of his stable boys had reared
from the nest. 1t slept in the open,
however, and had full liberty. Soon
the good things on the rector's table at
tracted it, and it would appear through
the open window at mealtimes, take
hot soup with much Zest and even sip
sherry from a wineglass. At night it
often slipped in and slept in the rec
tors bed on it's back under the coverlet.
One Sunday morning during the read
ing of the lesson the dove flew swiftly
through an open window into the
church and settled on the rector's head.
Broad smiles spread over the faces of
the elders and audible filters came
from the youngsters. A gentle touch
sent the bird down to the edge of the
clerks desk below, where it sat undis-
turbed.-Pall Mall Gazette.

Ann Women.

When Ainu, especially Ainu women.

ed some time they have pretty way
of telling each other their experiences
in sort of chant, and in the pleasant
sound of their singularly sweet voices
one forgets their wild and unkempt
looks. The Japanese women are equal
ly remarkable for the sweetness of
their voices. but have the advantage
over their Ainu sisters of delicate and
dainty ways. the charm of which the
most stolid globe trotter is constrained
to own. If the women of Ainu-moshl-
ri, as the Ainu call their land, are the
drudges of the men in their youth and
middle age their opportunity for re-
venge comes with the lapse of years.
The curses of an angry old woman
excite the utmost terror in the bravest
bear hunter. He flies. panic struck,

Mocke's View of Dancing.

john Locke in his Thoughts Con-
corning Education says quantity
Nothing appears to give children SO
much becoming confidence and behav-
ior and 80 TO raise them to the CONVEX
sation of those above their age, for.
though dancing consists only in out
ward gracefulness of motion, yet,
know not how, it gives children manly
thoughts and carriage more than any
thing" He adds, however, that the
teacher must be a good one, for II
think it more passable to put of the
hat and makes leg like an honest coun-
try gentleman than like an ill fash
Toned dancing master" To put off the
hat and make a leg explains much, by
the way, in the business" of the ordi-
nary costume play.-London Chronicle.

The Art of Making Hay.

How and when men first learned to
make hay will probably never be
known, for haymaking is process"
and the product is not simply sun dried
grass, but grass which has been partly
fermented, and is as much the work
of mems hands as -four or cider Prob
ably its discovery was due to accident,
but possibly man learned it from the
pikas, the calling hares' of the steppes,
which cut and stack hay for the win
ter. That idea would fit in nicely with
the theory that central Asia was the
"home Of the Aryan race" if we were
still allowed to believe it, and hay
making is certainly an art mainly prac-
ticed in cold countries for winter for
age.-London Spectator.

velopes laid on his desk after the let-

leisure he cuts the envelopes apart and
lays the addressed sides i'm q pile to be

Myrtle.

The creeping plant we call myrtle is
not a myrtle at all, but should be called
by it's proper name, periwinkle. Botan-
ically it is Vinca minor. Long ago it
used to be called 'the ivy of the
ground" Chaucer mentions it as ''fresh
pervincke, rich of hew.'' The large
blue flowers are very pretty. In Tus-
cany it is known as ''the death flower
on account of it's being so often planted
upon graves, custom which is begin
ming to prevail in this country. There
is pretty variegated leaved variety
and also sport with white flowers not
so pretty as the blue.

CAUSE OF MINE HORROR
Defective Shot Led to Pennsylvania Tx
pIosion-Thus Far ia Bodies
Have Been Removed.

Pittsburg, Jan. 30.-Mine Inspector
Cunningham is convinced he has dis
covered the cause of the explosion at
the Harwick mine and the room in
which it occurred. It has been the
theory of the inspectors that the gas
was lighted by defective shot-one
not properly tamped-wnich threw a
bit of burning paper from the hole
drilled in the coal. This was confirmed
in room in the south left entry,
where a hole was found in the coal
showing that the tamping had been
blown out and that the shot was in
effective. Near this point was found
the lamp of Fire Boss J. A. Gordon,
who was also the head shooter in the
mine
The mine had given up ia dead at
noon. Preparations are being made
for an early resumption of work The
company expects to start again in two
weeks or as soon as all the bodies have
been removed and repairs made.

They prepared an expedition which
was sent up the Magdalena on Jan. %
on four river boats, to concentrate
troops at Calamar in order to stop
the troops coming down. This resist
ance was in the interest of the candi-
dature Of General Reyes, whom Boil
var and Magdalena alone are support
ing. On the arrival of the Bogota
troops mutual explanations were ex-
changed by telegraph before the troops
met, by the opposing commanders. AS
a result the Bolivar troops were in
duced to return to Barranquilla and
accept the disposition of the Bogota
government. Barranquilla and Car
