". G. Conrad Buys Fine Residence.

The many friends of Hon. w. Ct.
Conrad will be pleased to learn that
he has just purchased the finest
private residence in Montana. at
Helena, at cost of about SIS, 900.
The following article regarding the
sale is taken from the Helena indie
pendent:
w. q. Conrad, the Great Falls
banker, yesterday concluded nego-
tiatiOns by which he became the
owner of the residence of the late
Samual Word on Madison avenue.
The Word house, with its beautiful
and extensive grounds, is consid-
cred the handsomest private resi-
dence in Montana.
The house which Mr.. Conrad
will make his home was built bv
Samuel Word about 10 years ago.
and the residence and grounds
represent an expenditure of $780,
600 or $4,000, the most expensive
private residence in the State.
From the time it was built until
some time after the death of Mr..
W ord 1T was occupied by himself
and family. When the Montana
club burned, the Word house was
rented, and there the club has been
located since.
The club will continue to occnnv
the house until its new home is
completed. Then Mr.. Conrad
VIII take possession, make what
repairs are necessary. and In the
fall 1T is expected he will take up
his residence in Helena with his
family.
The sale was negotiated throu0h

An officer OF the British army says
that one OF the finest dinners he ever
ate was served TO him by a Chinese
host In Hcngkong. He thus describes

though richer. To counteract its rich
ness great china bowl Of boiled bam-
boo shoots was handed round with II.
Next came q very small roast. l
thought ut first that II was a tiny suck
ing pig, but IL had no cracking. and
the flesh was like that OF an agneau de
lait. the little lambs whose meat Is
snow white. 1t was one OF the Can

their place on the roasting spit and
which are fed on rice and milk only. I
looked down the table and saw that
my friend was eating with zest. so for
the first time I'm my life ate dog-and
liked II exceedingly. With this puppy
were served all the vegetables in sea
son and n salad which had the taste OF
young nasturtium leaf as its strongest
flavor. Rice birds followed. They are
smaller than ortolsns, each tiny plump
creature being but a mouthful, but they
are the most delicious eating Of all the
feathered small fry.
"Nankin eggs We're next brought
ROUND. They had been buried for fifty
years, and a Chinaman detects some
special flavor In them. To me they
tasted just like an ordinary hard boiled
egg, and their appearance, being al
most black. was not inviting. They
were. In my opinion. the one failure OF
the dinner. The sideboard had been
spread with variety OF cold viands,
among them phessants and game pies
from Shanghai and a Kobe round OF
spiced beef. Baskets Of fruit were
brought in and little orange trees in
pots, from which we were invited TO
pluck the ripe fruit"

A torn linen collar, q piece of Iath. q
cuff and half dozen other odd OBJ

My collection OF queer checks" the
young man said. Each OF those things
is check. Each was duly honored.
Each has a story.
i have been collecting queer checks
Tor three years. That piece OF lath
started me. A western bank honored
the lath for $3.50. 1t was mace out as
check by the owner Of a sawmill. who
was out at the plant with his son. thir-
ty miles from any house, and totally
without paper, let alone a check book.
The money was needed to pay off the
hands. The sawmiller wrote on the
lath Just what check correctly drawn
has on 1t, and he sent his son in to the
bank to get the money and to explain.
The lath check was honored after some
discussion among the banks officers.
The cuff check was drawn bv an
actor who had become slightly fntoxi-
Gated, got into a fight and been arrest
ed. he was treated cavalierly in his
cell. They wouldn't give him any pa
per, and he bribed a boy to take the
check to bank. The boy got the
money, and with it the actor paid his
nne. Otherwise he'd have been Jailed
Tor ten days. Thus the cum check may
be said TO have saved a man from pris-
