Life Prisoner Pardoned.

HELENA, Dec. 25.-One of the best
Christmas gifts in the power Of Cover
nor Joseph II. Toole was given yes
terday to John Caddick, a life prison.
er in the Montana state penitentiary.
II was a pardon based upon the con-
dition that Caddick sign the pledge to
abstain from the use of Intoxicating
liquors.
The case is an interesting one. Cad.
dick, it seems, attended a dance in
Deer Lodge back in the nineties, at
which there was a bountiful supply OF
liquid refreshments. Caddick imbibed
rather freely and soon engaged in a
quarrel with his partner, which ter
minated in the killing of the latter.
He was tried and convicted of murder
and the life sentence imposed in No.
vember. 1895, by District Judge Theo.
dore Brantly, chief justice Of the
supreme court.
Governor Toole in his letter to the
board of pardons stating that Glenn
ency has been extended subject to its
approval. states that he does not be-
lieve Caddick is a criminal at heart:
that the killing was done on the spur
Of the moment and that he feels the
epde OF justice have been subserved.

"1ry One of Nv Betels."

In Siam they don't offer you a cigar
or a cigarette. but a betel nut. There
every II carries a supply of them in
a neat little ivory box, not unlike the
s~nutfboXes of our ancestors. The hetel
nut is Il narcotic, in its effects not UNI
like tobacco, but it is much more harm
full. Those who chew it suffer from
infamed gums, and they generally lose
their teeth. The betel is a species of
climbing plant. with a leaf not unlike
ivy. 1t yields a crop of nuts. which
are ground TO a powder. This is mixed
with a similar powder derived from
the areca nut and made into a paste,
which is wrapped in pieces Of betel
leaf.

Mistakes Of Druo Clerks,

"There Is one loss sustained by drug
gtsts that very few people know
about" said the experienced clerk.
THAT is in the prescriptions that have
to be made over, the same as clerks,
stenographers, writer's and artists, no
matter how painstaking, frequently
have to do their work over The most
careful drug clerk in existence is
bound to make mistakes sometimes i n
measuring and mixing.
HE may pour in too much of some
kind Of liquid or sift in too much of a
certain powder. In most cases the
overdose would not really affect the
value of the medicine, but the consci.
entious clerk isn't going to take any
chances Of numbering anybody, so he
throws away the whole mixture and
makes up another prescription

Ensley, March 1G.-6Specjal )-That the way of the transgressor is hard was ex- emplifed this morning in the police court when Mayor D. F. Sugg imposed a fine of Sl00 and an additional penalty of 100 days on the streets in the case of Jack Oliver and John Martin, two negro bar bers, charged with violating the prohi- bition law. The men run q tonsorial es- tablishment on Seventeenth street and as side issue had a supply of whisky in the rear of the shop for the benefit of their customers. They denied selling the liquor, but the evidence showed other wise. Officer John Wren made the raid At the same session six able-bodied dusky damsels who showed a positive aversion to work were fined S25 each and given To understand that they must get job or leave town. Two white men were charged with public drunkenness, and as they were caught with the goods they had no defense and pleaded guilty A fine WAS imposed in each case There We're several other cases of minor impor- tanee which were quickly disposed Of.
 The last number at the mayors mat inee Was the case of Tom Adam, a young white boy. charged with assault with intent to murder. This offense oc- cured last December and has been con tinued from time to time. Adams was charged with hitting a companion on the head with stove casting. flacturing his skull.
