ton of Mclean. Two years later, ii
1886, Toole defeated Colonel Sanders
republican, by a majority said to have
been 300.
In 1888 the republicans had another
inning, electing Thomas H. Carter
over w. A. Clark. At this election an
other marked increase in the votins
strength of the territory was shown
as Carter received 22,224 votes ant
Clark 1852. Mr.. Carter served two
terms, having as his last opponen,
Major Maginnis. w. W.. Dixon was
he last territorial delegate, defeatine
Carter in an exceedingly close race
On this occasion Mr.. Carter received
1923 votes, while Mr.. Dixon was
given 15,411.
When given statehood Montana
started off all right. A republican was
elected congressman, Hartman, who
defeated Mr.. Dixon by the small mar.
gin of something like 200 votes. The
people liked him and reelected him
in 1894. Before his term expired he
became affected with the microbe of
free silver and in 1896 was elected as
the fusion candidate.
In 1898 A. J. Campbell, who is still
family remembered by some by reason
of the fact that it is said his name ap-
pears signed to the congressional pay
roll, was elected over T. C. Marshall,
who carried the republican banner.
He received 23,351 votes, against a.
1913 cast for Marshall. This brings
the table down to the campaign of
four years ago.. "Vindication" tri-
umphed and the democrats are o
sible for the total absence of repre-
sentation in the house of representa-
tives from which the state suffered
for the ensuing two years. 1t is said
that a man named Caldwell Edwards
OF Gallatin county was elected, but
this is merely hearsay. The hiatus
was filled two years ago by the cleo
ton of Joseph M. Dixon, the present
efficient congressman and the best
Montana ever had.

Flying Foxe. and Bats.

The flying foxes are relished as food
by the Inhabitants of the countries
where they are found, and certainly a
creature which lives on fruit ought to
be good eating. Their heads are won
derfully like that Of a miniature fox,
and their large Eyes suggest that they
find their way by sight, Of which sense
the small insectivorous bats would
seem to be almost independent, as
blinded specimens, in the experiments
Of Sp%allanzani, proved to be able to
avoid obstacles to their fight as easily
as those which could see.
This power bats owe to their highly
developed sense of touch, the large SEN
sitive surface offered to the atmos-
phere by the broad naked wings en-
abling them to perceive an object be-
fore they touch it, probably by the
difference in the resistance of the air.
And the huge ears and complicated
nose appendages found in SO many in
sectivorous species also subserve the
purpose of guidance, though they GER
tainly do not add to the animals ap-
pearance. the facial aspect of some
bats being past description hideous,
while they are just as offensive to the
nose as to the eye.-Chambers' Jour-
| nal.

Face Patches.

Few people of the present day know
that face patches, those little artifi-
cial beauty spots that look SO frivo-
lous and tantalizing, were once a sym
boil Of religion. They were originated
by the Saxon Queen Etheldra, who
was canonized after her death, which
took place near the end of the seventh
century.
This queen led a life of great dis
sipation until the death of her Sec
ond husband, to whom she was great
ly attached; then she saw the folly Of
her ways, forsook the world and en-
tered a convent, where she was chosen
abbess. She gave herself up to the
most severe practice Of religion, with
long fasting, many penances and other
voluntary hardships, and these caused
her pretty face to break out in pimples
and blotches. Evidently the queens
religious life had not subdued her
pride in her appearance, for she cov-
cred the disfguring spots with patches.
All her followers, even though they did
not have pimples. adopted the patches
as being evidences Of a really religious
life.
The style originating In a convent
was later adopted by a court.-Ex.

The vote today or even Of four years
ago must appear gigantic to the men
who voted at the first election for ter
ritorial delegate held in Montana,
now a tri1e over forty years ago. It
took place October rs, 1864. The cleft
wing was then at about it's apogee,
still the republicans did not do so
badly, considering the circumstances
and times. Mclean, democrat, is re.
corded as having received a total OF
$3.50 votes, while his opponent, Colo
mel w. F. Sanders, was given 1866.
In 1871 the republicans nominated the
late w. H. Claggett, who received q
majority of about 400 out of a total
vote of 10000. Major Martin Magin.

terms. Joseph K. Toole, also a demo.
.crat, followed him. He defeated Judge
Hiram Knowles, republican-there
were no populists or any of the differ
ent forms of ants in those days-by
a majority of about 200. The total
vote was nearly $1,000, showing how
the territory had grown since the cleo

Revealed by Death.

Life is perfected by DEATH and it
is also revealed. A story told in the
Life of Sir Richard Burton illus
trates the clearness with which death
reveals a man to his comrades.
A lieutenant in a British regiment
was honest. steady, quiet and full Of
sterling qualities, but he was dull, re-
served and r~eligiously inclined. His
brother officers laughed at him and as
ISOLATED but little with him. Though
well born, he was poor and had no
powerful friends. He therefore re-
manned without promotion or society,
but he never complained and did his
best.
A battery was to be taken in the
Crimea, and the lieutenant's regiment
was selected as the storming party. 1t
assaulted and was driven back. The
lieutenant rallied his own company
and with a laugh flung his shake be-
fore him and rushed through the
breach into the battery, followed by a
handful of men. They never came out
again..
That night at the regimental mess
there was not a man but regretted that
he had not better understood the officer
whose gallant death had revealed his
superiority. All remembered a thou
sand. good qualities and incidents
which ought to have endeared him to
them. They were ashamed of the con-
tempt with which they had treated
him and Of the fact that they had
never shown him the least kindness.

SOME MONTANA ELECTIONS.

Today's presidential election is the
fourth in which the voters of Montana
have been permitted to participate.
The first was that of 1892, when the
Estate's electoral vote was given to
Harrison by a plurality of something
like 1900. Four years thereafter the
|pendulum swung in the opposite direc-
|tion. Bryan and his ''divine ratio"
took the people of their feet and genu-
bne republicans were a rarity. Bryan
|Was given 1860 votes as against
bnly 1O,49O for Mckinley, q plurality

Well She Mixht.

An old German historian of Tubin-
gen describes an attack by the French
in 1914 during which eighteen persons
were killed by the exploding Of a
mine. A soldiers wife was thrown
the distance of an acre. She was not
hurt, the chronicler adds quantity,
''but she scolded terribly and was in
a very bad humor."

The cotton handkerchiefs provided
for French soldiers have printed upon
them a number of sanitary precepts to
be observed on the march and during a
campaign and are further decorated
with medallions containing pictures of
officers of all grades, the different uni
forms being 81 distinctly portrayed
that a French private can tell at a
glance to what grade any officer he
may see belongs.

come the belief Of many thai only
through %bi-metalism was the country
to be saved and many of the republi.
cans who had voted in the preceding
election for Bryan returned to first
principles and gave their vote to Nc
Kinley. Still they were not sufficiently
numerous to offset the democrats, pop
ulists and former republicans who
continued to cling to Bryan and his
fetch, and Bryan carried the state
once more, this time, however, by a
decreased plurality, he receiving 3d.
LAG votes as against 25,373 for Mckin-
ley, a difference of 11,773 votes.
Two years ago the republican nomi-
nee for congress was elected over
three opponents, Evan, democrat, who
received 1850 votes; Dee, labor,
6,OQ5, and Sproule, socialist, 3,131.
Dixons vote was 24,626. This year
the democrats, laborites and populists
have fused on Gormley, a fact that of
necessity cuts a considerable figure
as regards the prospects of Dixon.
The socialists are again in the field
with a candidate. They claim that
cast for their candidate will prove a
surprise, insisting that socialism has
grown to no small degree in the state
during the last two years. If this
should turn out to be the case, it will
benefit the republican nominee, as all
or nearly all the converts to socialism
come from the democratic and pop
list parties. The republicans are moi
yet prepared to diverge from the es-
tablished order of things to an extent
SO radical as is advocated by Debs and
his followers.
Various estimates have been made
as regards the increase of the vote OF
the state since 1900. In that year it
was about 1900, while this year it is
claimed that it will reach no less than
$4,000 to $4,000.
AS a basis of comparison and on
which to figure possibilities as they
may eventuate today, the vote cast
for governor four years ago is here
with given. 1t shows the polling
strength of the two partise, as the
populists fused with the democrats
on Toole. Hogan was representative
of the qualification" element in the
democratic party and ran as the can
didate Of the wing which was in oppo-
sition to Senator Clark, who that year
conducted his memorable campaign of
~"vindication." There was one other
candidate, Fox, socialist. He received
a total of sos votes:

THE "TIP" IN EUROPE.
Everybody Takes 1t Except, Perhaps,
the Crowned Heads.

the Crowned Heads.
I have just returned from a trip
through Europe, where l naturally
made frequent comparisons between
the status of the foreign worker and
that of his American brother.
One of the most noticeable differ
ences is the constant presence of the
man with his hand out for a tip. When
you leave the steamer fully ten people
expect to be Remembered" OF these
fully half consider So or less an open
insult, to be resented by marked inso-
lence of manner, and only a five dollar
bill can move them to thanks.
At every hotel from eight to a dozen
tip hunters shadow the departing
guest, and he is expected to go the
rounds.
Nor is this all. If you hire a carriage
you ask the street car conductor a
question or request him to call your
street you must give him a fee. When
you take a boat ride you pay for your
ticket and pay the man who takes it
from you. If you inquire your way Of
a passerby you dip your hand in your
pocket as you do 50. You tip the clerk
in the store, the man who delivers your
goods, the postman, the policeman and,
for aught I know to the contrary, the
doctor, the lawyer and the preacher. 1
heard it said that every one in Europe
will take. a tip except. the crowned
heads" but Pm not at all prepared to
admit the exception.
When you demonstrate against this
continual tax you are met with the ar
gument: "The poor things get very lit
tie, and they must live. You are really
paying them wages, and it is unfair
not to give it."
If you ask, "Why do they receive
such small pay?" the reply is. 1.-The
employer knows they will get tips and
counts on it," and again you are as
sured that tips are wages and should
not be withheld.
But a few minutes consideration
shows that not only are tips 0
wages. but they destroy wages.
Wages are a definite sum agreed upon
by employer and worker. To pay them
is an obligation; to receive them is a
right. A tip is a favor, q charity. It
can be given or withheld at will. Its
bestower wear with self satisfied
benevolence. Its receiver, a true
dunky, graduates his thanks to match
the amount Of the gratuity. A tip is
not wages, for no nan has a right to
demand it. He can only cringe and
kotow in the hope of not missing it.
Nor does the amount gained offer
any atonement for the manhood sacri-
feed in the getting. The steamer
stewards are more favored and more
arrogant than the man beyond seas.
In Germany you may give your street
car conductor a small coin worth one
and One-fourth cents, in France a cent
will be accepted and the naughty Brit
Usher only stands out for %"tuppence."
OF course the tips run from these tri-
fes up, and sometimes high up, and
that's the way the money goes"
But it was, after all, the small tips
that shocked me most. To think that
men, full grown, white, civilized, free
men, not children nor savages nor
slaves, would take a II cent charity
and say ''Thank you" for it!
1t made me heartsick and ashamed
to see it. l blushed to think that they
hadn't self respect to blush for them
selyes.-American Federationist.

It's Fourth Season

This Is the fourth season of uninter-
rupted success of that powerful play,
"The convict's Daughter" which will ap-
pear at Armory hall September 80. Sue
cess always leads to competition and
competition always benefits the public
Several seasons ago lovers Of melodrama
had a chance to judge OF the merits of
"The Convicts Daughter" 1t was
something they had been waiting for ana
eagerly sought. The theaters were not
large enough to hold them, and it's grea.
drawing powers heralded its reputation
everywhere. me public came, saw anu
went away delighted. They had seen
very meritorious performance and a
grand dramatic story clevery written by
an American author and acted by cap
able company. The beautiful story or
"The Convicts Daughter" went straight
to the heart and forced itself upon their
memory such as no other play had ever
done. The opening act. Colonel Gouiu s
home, had such an atmosphere of love
and sunshine in 1t that 1t crept over the
footlights and nestled among the audi
ence. In fact, the scene was so pretty
and realistic they did not see the ap-
preaching clouds that were slowly but
surely shutting out the pretty picture.
There Is only one way 10 appreciate this
beautiful and startling melodrama-come
and see 1t. 1t Is especially wsstten .or
the family and presents the drama true
to life In a great many households.
