have quiet honeymoon.

going back to Butte tonight. Out there
we have real skyscrapers, and they are
not built Of brick. They are two or three

we have valleys that make Central park

ORCHARD GREAVEs)

To Mrs. Dan fell the honor Of helping
Peggy dress. By the time she had had
coffee and was ready to go down she
was pink with excitement and had
quite forgotten the anxiety which had
made the night an age.
She had never been prettier than on
her wedding morning. Her color was
rich, her eyes as clear as stars, her wo-
mans body the picture of grace and
health. Monty's heart leaped high with
love of her.
"The prettiest girl in New York. by
lover gasped Dan DeMille, clutching
Bragdon by the arm.
And look at Monty He's become a
new man in the last FIVE minutes, :"
added Joe. "Look at the glow in his
cheeks! He's beginning to look as he
did year ago"
A clock chimed the hour of 8.
THE man who was here yesterday Is
In the hall to see Mr.. Brewster" said
the maid few minutes after the min
lister had uttered the words that gave
Peggy a new name. There was mo-
ment Of silence, almost Of dread.
"You mean the fellow with the
beard? 2" asked Monty uneasily.
Yes, sir. He sent in this letter, beg
ging you to read it at once"
"Shall send him away, Monty" de-
manded Bragdon defiantly. What
does he mean by coming here at this
timer"
'Tll read the letter first, joe"
Every eye was on Brewster as he
tore open the envelope. His face was
expressive There was wonder In 1t,
then lncredulity. then JOY. He threw
the letter to Bragdon, clasped Peggy IN
his arms spasmodically aud then, re-
leasing her, dashed for the hall like one
bereft Of reason.

a moment later the tall visitor was
dragged into the circle. hopper was
quite overcome by the heartiness of his
welcome.

then advertise for the return of those

voice was not sure as he translated the
scrawl, hopper Harrison standing be-

prompting him when the writing was

Mr.. Montgomery Brewster:
My Dear Boy-So you thought ! had
given you the slip, Ell? Didn't think I'd
show up here and do my part? Well, 1
don't blame you. / suppose I've acted
like an idiot. but SO long as 1t turns out

won't gnaw very much of a hole in your
door. I reckon. This letter introduces my
secretary, Mr.. Oliver Harrison. He came
to me last June out In Butte with the
prospectus Of a claim he had staked out
up in the mountains. What he wanted
was backing, and he had such good
show to win out that went into cahoots
with him. He's got mine up there that

TREPoFF DIES SUDDENLY.
Famous Russian Commander succumbs
to Angina Peotors.

to Angina Peotoris.
st. Petersburg, Sept. 17.-Gen. Omit
ri Feodorovich Trepoff, commander OF
the imperial palace, died at 6 o'clock
Saturday evening in his villa at Peter
hof, of angina pectoris.
General Trepoff, whose name was in
delibly linked with reaction and op-
preston in Russia, was in many re-
spects a remarkable man. He was a
natural despot, a tyrant by inclination,
action and conviction. He was one OF
those men who have constantly ap.
peared. like evil geniuses in Russian
history just at the time when condi>
lions were most promising for putting
an end to despotism to turn the Rus
sian rulers from liberalism back into
paths of reaction. 1t was he who broke
the guiding spirit of the reaction after
Nicholas Ii. had issued his famous
manifesto in the fall of 1905, promising
the people a share in the government.
Holding the position Of master of the
palace, in league with the court in
triguers who were determined to req
store the old regime, he constantly had
the emperor's ear.

Natures WAY Is Best.

The function strengthening and tissue

Ing and obstinate cases of disease rs pur-
sued by DIR. Pierce, is following after
Natures plan Of restoring health.
He uses natural remedies. that is
extracts from native medicinal roots,

the expenditure of much time and
money, without the use of alcohol and
by skillful combination in just the right

The above native roots also hive the

A Sneedy Recovery.

On one Of the visits of the American
feet to English waters Admiral Erben
was in command, with Captain Alfred
T. Mahan, the writer on naval affairs,
as his flag captain. One morning Cap
tain Mahan came to his admiral with
an invitation to dine with duke which
he had received.
IT can't accept" said Captain Ma
han, "as they forgot to invite you"
IT should say you couldn't" growled
the admiral. "1'll answer for you"
Whereupon the admiral wrote:
admiral Erben, United States navy,
regrets that Captain Mahan, his flag
captain, cannot accept the invitation Of
the Duke Of Blank. Captain Mahan is
on the sick list"
An hour or so later a messenger from
the duke returned with invitations for
the admiral and the captain, where
upon the admiral wrote again:
Admiral Erbcn accepts with pleas
ure the invitation for Captain Mahan
and himself. Tie wishes also to ad-
wise the Duke of Blank that he has
taken Captain Mahan of the sick list"

Konxo's Salt Marshes.

The salt marshes Of the Kongo re-
gion are to be found in considerable
number in the district of Sambalt. and
there are also many of these marshes
on the left bank Of the river Lufubu.
In, general they represent kind Of
pocket or rift in the soil. The walls of
the rift show first layer of blackisb
clay mixed with sand and containing
numerous quartz and silex pebbles. or
more exceptionally black and white
shells, fragments of oyster and mussel.
Then comes layer Of stratffied and
gray-blue schist. The soil of the de-
preston also contains schist as the
greater constituent and is covered by
a layer Of sandy clay. In order to col
lect the salt the natives dig funnel
shaped hole from six to ten feet In
diameter and about three feet deep
The cavity soon fills up with warm
and clear water, which is strongly
charged with salt. 1t comes up with
considerable pressure, and the liquid
seems to boil. The salt is partly pre-
cipitated at the bottom of the cavity
and mixes with the soil to form 8
blackish mud. The latter is washed
out with hot water to extract salt
which is then crystallized from the SO
luton. The product which Is thus OBJ
tainsd is Of salty gray color, and iti
taste IL more alkaline than that of En-
ropsan salt

Courtesy.

1t has been proven hundreds OF times
that courtesy benefits not only the
person to whom it is shown, but also
the one extending the courtesy. Its
the little courtesies that often make the
most lasting impressions. Courtesy
towards its patrons is one of the many
praise worth characteristics of the
North h-Western Line. Its employees are
instructed to accord all patrons, but
particularly ladies and children, every
possible courtesy and attention. Its the
little details in the construction of the
New North Western Limited between
the Twin Cities and Chicago that have
made it such a popular train with the
travelling public. Leaves Minneapoli.

In the time Of the reign of Hadrian.
about A. D. 1870, jew appeared among
the peopl Of Palestine claiming to be
a nessiah-the ''star out Of Jacob"-
which Balas n predicted in his proph-
ecy. (See Numbers xiv. ~ This
Jewish messiah g name was Simeon

Hebrew language means "son of a
star" This individual who so blatant
ly proclaimed himself to be Of divine
origin took Jerusalem by storm "a. d.

building Of the temple. He took the
government in hand and issued coins
and performed many other public Of

popular delusion. In Roman history
Bari -Cocheba is known as "Coziba of

''son of star" changed his name to
"Bar-C -Cozeba," which in the Hebrew
means ''son Of lie."

"Yon Yonson" at Tacoma.

Tacoma News. Feb. 1o.-The Tacoma
theater was crowded to. the limit last
night by delighted audience that
witnessed a revised and yet highly
enjoyable presentation Of "Yon Yonson." +"
the famous Swedish dialect play that
Gus Heege made so popular. Earl X.
Mitchell is worthy successor OF the
lamented "Yon." His Interpretation OF
the quaint character of "Yon Yonson"
is pleasing, and Mr.. Mitchell was given
hearty applaus at various stages of the
entertainment last night. Manager P.
J. Kennedy is firm believer in the
desire OF the public for something
new and improved. hence the play
"Yon Yonson" as presented by Mr..
Mitchell and strong company. differs
materially from the old "Yon Yonson,"
and is in many respects better than the
old production. The Lumbermen's
quartette, always card with the "Yon
Yonson," is just as delightful as of yore.
The singing of this quartet was certain.
ly a feature of the performance. Jennie
Morris, as the book agent and sweet.
heart of "Yon Yonson," was an excel.
lent character. The love-making be.
tween the two kept the house in con.
slant merriment. John Holloway
makes typical villain.
"Yon Yonson" will appear at the
Dickinson Opera house Saturday
March ~.
