Dad Murphy's 6revity.

Old Dad Murphy, as he was affec- tionatply known to the boys on the road. was q conductor on a trunk line transporting large shipments or live stock from the west. Dad had been in the service so long that the rules CT railroading had become second nature to him. and the result of the superin' tendents frequent orders to the traia- men to answer with military brevity all questions and messages. especially those by telegraph, to relieve the bur den on the wires had reduced Dad to habitually short, concise replies. even to his conversation. On baking hot July day, when not breath of air was ,tirriuc and the sun beat on the ca; roofs till the pitch pulled the soles or the brakeman's shoes, Dad ill looSiH :: over the train discovered that eight hogs had succ,1mbed to the hea:. When passing the next telegraph sta tibn he threw off message to the s'l' perintendent:
 Burhans. supt.-Eight hogs dead acct heat advise. MURPHY, No. IS. At the second telegraph office he re- ceived his answer:
 Murphy. Condr. 7S.-What Is the present condition of the hogs? Ans. ok.
 BURHANS. Dad grunted, shifted his quid of fine cut and wrote as follows:

 Feb. 13 last, the publishers of
 newspapers and their patrons. the advertisers. had had no opportunl- ty to ascertain exactly what is the value of advertising. It is probable that there is not, fin modern American Journalism, an instance as striking as that in Butte. where for thirty nine days following Feb. 13, no daily papers were printed. The diliculty-s qucs- ton of wage scales. in which printers. pressmen and stereotypers were in volved-developed into stubbornly fought strike. ending in compromise. These details may be found in the his tory of union labor. But advertisers and publishers may never again enjoy theeApportunity to study the relations of commerce and the daily press. under the circumstances existing during the press shutdown fin Butte. for except in time of war or after a great disaster, no American city had had similar ex- perlence or is likely to have. Butte Is like no other community in the world, and sc closely interwoven are the in tcrests and propaganda of ali union crafts that cond.iionS in Butte searce- ly could be duplicated e!sew',rre. ai'd hence it is improbable th.tt !, nef%s ;r: per shutdown of such Cn.;..on "iii oc. cur again.

Verdi labored long before he per suaded Victor Hugo, who was vexed that the tragic beauties of his "Le Roi S'Amuse'' had been turned into operatic effects, to attend perform ance of "Rigoletto.' He succeeded at length, and Hugo sat in the box with the composer and listened to the op- era. But not q word did he speak Verdi's impatience got the better of him, and he asked:
 Well, what say you-about the quar- tet, for instance?"
 "Show me way in which four per sons can be permitted to speak simul- taneously." replied the poet, "and l will write something more beautiful than your quartet"

Early Dentistry.

The art of dentistry was practiced among the Egyptians and Etruscans and skulls that in very ancient times teeth were filled and efforts were made to supply the loss of natural by arti- f1cial teeth. The first writer on the treatment of diseased teeth was Ga len. The science was introauced into AmeSica by John Greenwood. who es- tablished himself in New York in 178s In 1790 and again in 17O5 he carved .n ivory an entire set of teeth for General Washington.

house have no time for extended sur vey. They rely upon the newspapers to set before them the facts about the goods they desire and the prices fixed upon them.
 If there was any doubt of these truths in the minds of the merchants of Butte before the shutdown, that doubt has been dispelled. Since re- sumption, although it came only day before Easter, the press of Butte has carried 90 per cent more advertising than last year and 75 per cent more than 2 year before that, at this time The suspension woke up the man who has something to sell

standing The Butte Miner. the Butte Inter Mountain. the Butte Evening News and the .\naconda Standard are the dailles. running from eight to thir- fy-two pages. The Evening News has Scripps- McRae telegraphic service; the remaining three take the Associat- ed Press. The Anaconda Standard. while printed in Anaconda. twenty-six miles away, is to all intents and pur- poses Butte newspaper
 Tho advertising carried by these four papers was unusually heavy. Wages are high in Butte. the payroll of the camp being greater than that of other cities with twice the population. hence retail business always is brisk md advertising profuse. Competition for the merchants share of the gren; wage scale is keen, and In addition. :,S the mining district has been enjoying . boom. mining stocks aIia real estate contributed quotas to the average Ad- yertising.

This boom, at its height in the holidays. was we'll sustained when la Dor troubles caused a suspension ua all ehe newspapers.
 Importance of the Press.
 After the newspapers suspended . week passed without notable develop ments; then gradually the place of the newspaper began to make itself felt. 1t was discovered that candidates for office in the municipal elections could, not qualify unless properly advertised Furthermore. political conventions. un der the state laws, could not legally sit without certain advertisement ltl addition. the successful candidates could not take office because, under tha statutes, their candidacy and the con ventions that named them could not h. legal without due advertisement in t.V press It was striking commentalA on the importance of the press that ths state laws should have provided tha governmental machinery could not hc set in motion unless the agency of tht press were employed.

Simnltane difficulty with the Butte Miners union had caused general uneasiness, but this was speedily adjusted. and those merchants unacquainted with the value of newspaper advertising and not as yet convinced that it is absolutely i'll dispensable to success in large city. rubbed their hands fin expectation of j brisk spring. But day after day. week after week. their stores remained al most empty Less than 100 people had been thrown out of work by the newspaper tieup, aud the payroll of the camp. $2,O0O.0oO a month. had been inappreciably diminished. With spring coming. with Easter only few weeks off, the leading dry goods and depart ment stores the clothiers to men, the haherdasheTs. the mihhers, began to lay of clerks.

The Public Would Not Buy Stocks

AC CANAAJlCS dLC CuAlCSS. AJdICS HI the local stock exchanges almost ceased. Without information on the state of the market in Europe and iu the principal American centerS, with out information on which to base eSti- mates of stocks, bonds, etc. the invest ing public would not buy. The brokers in vain endeavored to supply the place of newspapers by profuse daily bulle- tins and tips" The public knew be; ter. It did not want the financial in terests to inform it. It wanted to re;,! all the news bearing on the market and judge for itself.
 On the contrary, the flood of wild I'll. mors that filled the streets immediately after the newspaper suspension had a depressing effect upon the local ex- changes and on business in general. The solvency of this or that company. the value of this or that stock. imnle- diately began to be questioned. And. since no community wants for maii- cious- tongues, dangerous stories were. circulated. It was bruited about thai the leading grocer of the state had fail. ed for MnndYeds of thousands of dol lars The owner of the largest depart ment store in the northwest was said to be curtailing his business. and his solvency was doubted. As matter of fact. this merchant was laying of clerks by the score. because the ah. sence of advertising had left his aisles empty. Formerly he carried from four to eight pages per day.
 Rumor declared that a former mayor had killed himself. Rumor killed q prominent brewer. who was obliged to hasten home from winter resort to convince his friends of his being alive. Rumor divorced dozen couples and started unfortunate stories the news papers afterward were obliged to de l ny. Rumor. in short. proved conclu- sively the service which newspapers perform in keeping the people inform, ed of the truth
 The duration of the suspension of the l newspapers of Butte. the circumstances surrounding that suspension and thr results it presented are well worth the study of not only every newspaper pub. l fisher but Of every newspaper adver ! tiser ill the United States. and If any | of the latter doubt that money SpeH' upon newspaper advertising is wei 1 spent they have only to write to any leading business man of Butte and ask 1 for the facts.

Many Clerks Laid Off.

One leading department store laid off 50 per cent of it's clerks. The pres tdent of another department store cor poration acknowledged that the news paper suspension had cost him from 60 to 75 per cent of his business and that through inability to lay before the women of the city the facts about his Easter stock he had disposed of only small portion of an unusually large and attractive display.
 But others besides department stores. milliners. haberdashers, clothiers and the middlemen generally were ap- prised while no newspapers were being issued of the value of the press. The Northwest Baseball league includes Butte. and as usual in February the city had been agog about the ball team for the coming spring. But without newspapers it is impossible to arouse or sustain interest in baseball. Half the pleasure of the fan comes in read ing about the game after he has seen it. Moreover. he wants gossip about the team, about other teams. He likes to read the standing of teams and players. not only in his own league but in all the big leagues. If he loses track of the game, he is willing to drop out for the season. The owners of the Butte baseball club knew this well, and they frankly declared that should the newspapers not resume they would drop their franchise and withdraw their team.
 Still another example. A leading real estate dealer, engaged in exploiting suburb, had announced only q few days before the newspapers ceased to issue a contest in which prizes in mon ey and land were to be given to those forming the greatest number of words from the letters composing the firm name. The contest was to have been chronicled in all the daily papers and the results were to be announced. Without the newspapers the public speedily forgot the contest entirely. and, whereas it started off brilliantly. at the close few competed. What with suitable advertising might have proved big thing, both in exploiting the suburb and in placing the real es. tate firm more prominently before the people. failed absolutely without news paper advertising.
 The theaters also suffered heavily It was almost impossible to bill the town. and never was billboard adver tising less effectual. never it's inferi ority to newspaper advertising more clearly demonstrated. First class at fractions played to vacant chairs Peo. pie asked indifferently what was at the theaters. As in baseball, the the ater goer wants to know who the players are and something of the play He regards the billboards with sus- picion, knowing that too often the in formation they convey is misleading or unreliable. It is not too much to state that lack of newspaper advertising cos. the tbeaters of Butte and the travelling companies many thousands of dollars. the loss of the theaters being their entire profit for the season.
