Long Chase After Horse Thief.

GREAT FALLS, July 23.-When
Henry BAY, Jr., q deputy sheriff OF
Lewis and Clark county, arrived in
this city last evening he had to his
credit one OF the greatest coups OF
any Montana peace officer. He had
with him Orville KinRim, a self con-
fessed horse thief, whom Hay had fol.
lowed through northern Montana and
Saskatchewan for over 800 miles and
took but II days In which to land his
man.
Kingim stole q horse from j. W.
Eberel, an Augusta merchant, from q
pasture near that city on the night OF
July 2 and Hay started after him the
next morning. The only information
which Hay did not secure by his own
energies was furnished him when he
received q telegram on the third that
Kingim was headed for the Marias
river country, riding the stolen mare,
while Hay was in Choteau.
From July 3 the chase became an en-.
durance contest in which the follower
had all the changes of horses, both
riding and driving and the use OF
trains. while Kingim depended upon
his "hoss sense' in picking q good
mount and his start.

SAYS UNCLE CIV

He is an unfortunate man who is gov
erned by his dislfkes rather than his likes
The world to him is crazy patchwork. He
sees everything from the wrong side
Where normal person expects a. bless
ing, he expects and gets a curse. While
good luck fingers about the doorstep of
another, bad luck comes upon his trail
Just so sure as good is positive ana evil
is negative, just sure he is to look
always upon the negative side and lives
in an atmosphere of gloom disappoint-
ment, envy, defeat and disaster
The man who let's his dislikes outweigh
his likes makes good the old superstition
of the devil ridden. He is his own god
of misfortune The poor, twisted ego that
abides in his Uranium is a ma1evolent fate
world into a topsyturvy of viciousness. His
moral retina takes no account of the
sweet, the beautiful and the good. He is
actually blind to all save that which
annoys him. A physician would diagnose
his case as species Of insanity-and so
it is, a very insidious, but none the less
genuine and fearful madness.
The beginning of such a ones undoing
is matter of habit One may give way
to irritation too often, may too often sur
render to melancholy, may even indulge
in a .pettish pessimism until all the world
becomes an eyesore and all mankind be-
come enemies.
All this is perversion of the healthy
function of dislike. Generally speaking,
our antipathies are useful to us. If we
guard them carefully they in turn guard
us. They save us from disagreeable and
dangerous experiences. They keep our
feet in safe, clean paths. Let run riot,
however, they very effectively poison our
atmosphere, warp our judgment and leave
US mad in the end.
There is no healthier emotion than dis
gust, so it does not become habitual. It's
usefulness and its proper functioning de-
pend upon discrimination Ingrown dis
gust, however, befouls the mind and rem
ders 1t incapable of selection. All things
are alike evil to it, and the end is starva-
ton for the want of mental food.
Don't dwell upon your disikes. Let
your disgust be but passing emotion
that serves its purpose and vanishes. Keep
your eyes upon the good things only long
enough to put them from you. Consider
dangers only to avoid them.
Don't brood. Don't inger over your
wrongs. That which you mediate long
upon becomes part of you You can no
more think disagreeable thoughts and be
healthy than you can be healthy If you
eat poison.
Lead the life positive. Go after that
which is good Hate evil, but don't hate
1t long enough or continuously enough to
let it leave the shadow upon your brain
Don't spend all your time lodging that
which is dangerous or disgusting. A GER
tain amount of lodging is necessary, but
1t is easy to get the habit, and it's a dead
~ one. The guilty that flee when no man
pursues are no more timorous or fleet of
foot than the innocent that eXaggerate
the perils that surround them.-(Copy-

ART IN EVERYDAY LEE.

A most helpful suggestion to art
in daily life was given to humanity
when Jane Welsh Carlyle essayed to.
make her first loaf of bread, writes Eva
Weller Noble in August Nautilus. She
was absolutely ignorant of all useful
knowledge, though she excelled in
Latin and was a fair mathematician.
Domestic duties were very hard for this
girl, who had been petted and waited
upon all her life, when Carlyle married
her and carried her off to live at
Craigenputtock. She says: II sent for
Cobbet's Cottage Economy and fell to
work on loaf of bread. Knowing
nothing of the process of fermentation,
or the heat of ovens, it came to pass
that my loaf got put into the oven at
the time when myself ought to have
been put into bed, and 1 remained the
only person not asleep in house in the
middle of desert. One o'clock struck,
then two, then three, and still I was
sitting there in an immense solitude,
my whole body aching with WEAKNESS
and my heart with sense of forlorn-
ness and degradation. That 1, who had
been SO petted at home, whose comfort
had been studied by everybody in the
house, and who had never been re-
quired to do anything, but cultivate
my mind, should have to pass all those
hours of the night watching a loaf
of bread, which mightn't turn out
bread after all! 1 laid my head on
the table and sobbed aloud. 1t was
then that somehow the idea of Ben
venuto Cellini sitting up all night
watching his Perseus in the furnace
came into my head, and I said to my
self: After all, in the sight of the
Upper Powers, what is the difference
between the statue of Perseus and
loaf of bread, so that each be the thing
that ones hand has found to do? If
he had been a woman living at Craigen
puttock, with a dyspeptic husband, 16
miles from a baker, and he a bad
one, all these same qualities would
have come out in a good loaf of
bread"
Poor Jeanne! Her view is exactly
that of George Herbert, expressed near
ly 300 years ago:
"A servant with this clause
Makes drudgery divine;
Who sweeps a room as for Thy laws
Makes that and the action fine"
All, the joy of possessing the art
sense, and seeing art in everyday life!
