CAPT. CAMPBELL'S VIEWS.

Passers by the ship chandlery on
Queen street this morning were inter
ested in piece of red-painted pipe
placed outside the store bearing the
legend, North Pole, discovered by
Captain Quincy"
There was an interesting discussion
in the chandlery this morning about
the relative claims of Cook and Peary
to having discovered the pole.
After everybody had taken a hand
in the argument, Captain Campbell
remarked that it was not wonderful
that Peary had found no traces of
Cook at the pole.
Even had there been ice at the
pole instead of open water Peary
might not have found Cooks flag for

fishing aground off Waikiki and who,
after fixing, a landmark, cut a notch
in the side of his boat in straight
line with the landmark. Next time
he went fishing and tried to locate
the place where he had previously
caught his mess of fish, he was at a
loss to explain his inability to do so.

CUSTER
STATUE

Yesterday afternoon the heroic
statue of General Custer for which
the State of Michigan appropriated
large amount of money, with intent
to set it up upon an appropriate pc
destal in General Clusters home town,
was completed by the sculptor, Pot
ter, at his studio at Greenwich, Conn.
Custer is represented as upon his
horse, and the figure of the horse is
regarded by those who are expert in
forming judgment upon such things
as in many respects the finest eques-
trian figure any American sculptor
has modelled. The clay model is to-
morrow to be packed in sections and
delivered to the bronze founders,
who hope to have it ready for ship
ment to Michigan some time in the
| fall
A few days ago, after the modelling
was completed, Mrs. Custer and Gem
eral Clusters sister went from New
| York to look at it. Both were great
ly affected. Mrs. Custer said that it
seemed to her almost as if her hus-
band was about to speak to her; as
though after 33 years she was to hear
his voice and again to catch the fami-
liar expression which in his days OF
military triumph she has so often
recognized upon his face. The State
of Michigan will make a holiday, or
commemorative day, when next
fall this statue is Observation-Disclosures

Evading Prohibition Law.

WASHINGTON, April. 6.-Oficials
OF the internal revenue bureau of the
treasury department announce that
the temperance movement which has
taken such strong hold of certain
sections of the country, particularly
in the south, has resulted in increas.
ing the number of violations of the in.
ternal revenue law in the distill alton
of illicit whiskey.
Many of the legitimate distilleries
have moved their plants from Ala
bama. Georgia and North Carolina to
Florida and other border states,
where the inhibition does not exist.
Whisky being more difficult to obtain
in a Legitimate way has greatly in
creased the profits of illicit distilling,
with the result that the activities
of the internal revenue bureau are
largely directed toward the mountain
section of these three states.

THE CONCIERGE.
1yrant Rule Of the Autocrat Of che
Partisan Flat House.

Tyrant Rule Of the Autocrat Of The
Partisan Flat House.
The "concierge'' is considered to be
the bane Of the Partisan fiat dweller's
existence. His functions are supposed
to be the following:
The first and most important is to
collect the rent on quarter day; after
that he must see that the tenants do
not surreptitiously remove. The latter
precaution seems to be somewhat un.
necessary, as rents in Paris are always
paid in advance.
He should also bring up your letters
at least twice a day, but as the con
cierge Is generally a stout, middle aged
woman who has a decided objection to
climbing stairs the latter regulation re-
mains somewhat Of a dead letter.
In Paris the front door of most
houses Is generally closed at 10 o'clock.
After that time admittance can only be
obtained by ringing a bell. The con-
cierge Is obliged to open the door, and
she does this, as loon as she is awake,
by pulling a rope which hangs by her
bedside.
If she is a sound sleeper and you are
accustomed to come home late at night.
the best thing to do is to look for an
other fiat, as the concierge will put you
down as a dad tenant" and make
things as unpleasant for you as posi-
BILE.
If you never stop out late at night,
receive very few friends and fee her
heavily at Christmas, the concierge
will consider you as a good tenant
until you give notice to leave, when
her interest in you suddenly vanishes.
AS there is nothing more to be ex-
pected from you and the incoming ten
ant is obliged to give a substantial tip,
called a "denier a Dieu," she is anx-
ious to speed the parting guest" as
much as possible.
The concierge does sometimes make
a final effort to extract something more
from you by attempting to make you
pay a franc for every nail knocked in
the walls of your fiat, but this has been
decided to be illegal and may be safely
resisted.
But the Partisan concierge is really
unpopular because she represents a
landlord.-London Mail.

He Had a Fixed Income.
Cleveland Ledger.

Cleveland Ledger.
A southern congressman who for
merly practiced law in Mississippi
tells of an amusing case he once tried
IN that state. He was then a student
in the office Of his uncle, a Colonel
Martin, who figured in local politics.
The main figure in the trial was a
lazy darby named Dick Sutton, ar.
rested at the instance of his wife, who
alleged that he had contributed moth.
ing to her support and refused to
work.
During the examination of Sutton
the young lawyer asked:
"Dick, have you any fixed income?"
Sutton was puzzled by the term.
Counsel explained that the expression
meant a certainty, money paid not for
odd jobs but for steady employment;
in other words q stated compensation
at regular intervals on which one
could absolutely rely.
Upon the conclusion of counsel's
remarks, the darky's face Frightened.
II think l has q fixed income, sah,"
said he.
"And what is the fixed income?"
was the next question.
"Well, sah," answered Dick, with a
broad grin in the direction of Colonel
Martin. ''de colonel dere alters give
me TO- dollars an q sack o. flour on
Election day!"

SHOULD PREVENT GRAFT.

The bill for an act to compel county
treasurers to account to the county for
the interest on public funds deposited
in banks vas killed by the house OF the
last legislature.
1t would be difficult for any banker,
or for any county treasurer, or any
legislator, or anybody else, who op-
posed the measure to give any honest
reason why it should have been op.
posed, says the Montana Lookout.
The fact that this bill was defeated
does not alter the fact that no county
treasurer is morally any better en-
titled to take the interest on public
funds and apply it to his own use
than he is to take the funds themselves
and apply them to his own use.
Courts in several states have held
uniformly to this rule when the ques.
ton has been raised by proceedings
to recover.
In some of the states ex.treasurers
and their bondsmen have been held
liable not only for the interest or
public funds thus misappropriated
but for interest at the legal rate or
such interest for the full period Of
time from the date when the interest
was misappropriated to the date o,

How can you. l wonder.

For your stock in trader
How can you SO deity

From a grandsire dead
Skill to fix the weather
Some six weeks ahead?
Or does power inherent
Run through all your tribe7
And we'd like to ask you
Would you take a bride?

EXIT OLD DOG TRAY.

And with Mondays election passed
also Old Dog Tray in Great Falls.
That the question was one of general
interest ia manifest from the vote cast,
1882 out of a possible 2.162; and the
majority against open dogs In Great
Falls was $50 votes, which would seem
to indicate an overwhelming sentiment
against Old Dog Tray as a municipal
decoration. At the different wards of
the city many friends of the dogs
worked with the voters as earnestly as
worked the political workers and no
doubt but for that the majority would
have been much larger.
The fret city in the state in the way
of bo%ulevards, parks and lawns, and
forward progress, it was but natural
that Great Falls should take up the
dog question and put it to q conclu.
sion one way or the other, making the
city the first in the state to have a
closed season of twelve months in the
year on dogs. Other cities in the state
have yelled at the dogs, but to date
Great Falls is the only city which has
taken them by the nap of the neck and
thrown them into the woodshed and
locked the door.
When the matter vas first taken up
and agitated in this city it aroused
much comment, both favorable and
adverse, and at times the fight became
bitter. On May IL, last, the anti.dog.
gonits won and an ordinance against
the dogs was passed; the dogs we're
resourceful, however, and a petition
was circulated demanding q referen.
dunn vote. The necessary signatures
were secured, and the ordinance was
held up until the next regular election,
which was April 5, last, with the re-
suit that the dogs were left without a
boulevard to stand upon.
Under the law just voted the running
at large of dogs upon the streets, ave.
nues, alleys, parks or public grounds
of the city of Great Falls is prohibited
and declared to be q nuisance. If any
man desires his dog to visit at his
Office with him he must wear him upon
a string, and at home must keep him
within his W yard. Not only that,
but it also provides that any dog Bit
ing any person not a trespasser, shall
be killed without benefit of trial, and
that any dog bowling, barking, yelp.
ing or otherwise causing any annoy.
ance or disturbance to any person,
though in its own yard, shall

mad, as we'll as any female dog, found
running at large shall be killed forth.

Other dogs found without an owner
attached shall be taken to the pound
and killed within 4S hours unless a
bid of So be received, and as the
poundmaster gets 81 for every dog
i%mpounded and not redeemed, and 81
for every dog killed, the wave of
prosperity would seem to lie directly
the path of the Great Falls dog
catcher this year 1909. In addition to
a number of other provisions, the
most serious for violation of the ordi-
nance is the making of it a misde.
meanor and a fine of 800.
