May, 1880; July, 1899. The market
opened steady today at Il decline Of
l to points, active months showing
net losses Of to points after the
call under Southern hedging and
realizing by recent buyers for a re-
action, the latter probably being in
Huenced by relatively easy Liverpool
cables, and reports Of continued good
weather in the South.
There seemed. however. to be a
good many limited buying orders in
the market and, after selling off to
1926 for December and 1855 for
March, prices steadied up on cover
ing and trade buying. BY the end
of the first hour December was sell
ing at 1888 and March at 1870. net
advances Of about to 10 points.
The Southern selling here was much
less active. 1t was rumored that
prospects for assistance in holding
cotton were leading to smaller offer

ILL SPOKEN
From New York Herald Tribune)

The speaker who with exquisite urbanty en-
deavored to expose George Washington's feet of
clay at dinner of the Sons of the Revolution in
Washington seems to have dwet as Extensively as
possible on facts that make the Father of his
Country human figure, instead Of the demi-god
Of tradition. The erasure Of Washington myths
Of the cher1y-tree type has been pretty we'll ac-
complished. That Washington on occasions
swore danced all night played cards for stakes,
and went to church irregularly has been ascer-
tanned and published with enthusiasm General
Pershing has observed that Washington was a
regular fellow" The George Washington-S Sui
grave Institution is doing its best to wean the ma
ton from the idea implanted by Parson Weems
that Washington was prig, "sanctimonious
sissy" Recent historians have taken manifest
pleasure in revealing side of Washington that
gives him something in common with the general
ity of men.
The portrait Of the national hero is in nowise
bemished by these human touches It is gross
distortion so to magnify interesting small details
of habit as to obscure the essential lineaments of
character Only groveling mind would wish to

How Uncle Charlie Willard, Prospec-
tor. Cured His Finger.
BY H. C. Reagan

In 1883 Dasriel Woody had been
over near Lake Abundance, in the New
World Mining District. Montana, pros
peeting, where he found an outcrop-
ping of quartz. Coming into Cooke
City, he told Uncle Charlie about it,
so he and Doc MeCumber went over to
look into the prospect. While they
were working on the prospect McCum-
Der became very much excited about
the find. After Uncle Charlie dug out
lot of quartz and was throwing it
out by hand, Dock struck a piece of
quartz to break it with pick, and
struck Uncle Charlie on the index
finger Of the right hand, MASKING it
very badly. Uncle Charlie insisted
that he cut the finger off, but Doc
insisted that he could save it, so they
encamped for the night. Uncle Char
lie suffered all night, and returned to
Cooke the next day. Doc dressed the
wound but could give but little relief
from the pain, telling Uncle Charlie
to let the finger be until six days, then
he would attend to it again. Uncle
Charlie in the meantime went to bis
camp below Cooke. At the end of the
six days he went to see Doc, who IN
did the rags and, as Uncle Charlie
said, it smelled so bad that it would
drive cat from gut wagon. In the
afterpart of the day Horn Miller, Das-
riel Woody and Pike Moore came into
Camp and spoke to Uncle Charlie
about going to Soda Butte and see if
the water would help his finger. Doc
McCumber advised going to hospital
and having the hand amputated. I'm
Gle Charlie went to Soda Butte with a
man who was going out to Bozeman.
They stopped over night in tent at
the Soda Butte springs, Yellowstone
Park. Next morning the man said he
could dress the finger, so going to the
spring he scooped up some of the sed-
iment of sulphureous mud, and applied
it to the finger and up the whole arm,
as hand and arm were becoming very
dark. The application of this mud
eased the pain and Uncle Charlie had
the first nights sleep in thirteen
nights. They left the springs and
went down to Bill Jumps, an old set
tier who lived below Soda Butte, and
stayed there, going up to the springs
as often as it was required to get mud
which saved an amputation.
Uncle Charlie told how he acted the
samaritan for a Mexican greaser at

"On the whole" wrote Jefferson, his character

points indifferent; and it may be truly said that

Hal Lake there was small canyon
where the snipe were staying. Now
these men fell for the suggestions and
in real earnest inquired if it were SO
that snipe could be caught in the man
ner suggested. They tackled Tom
about it and he told them that "Sni-
i-i-pe was a-a-a-a dam f-f-fool and
would run his d-d-d-dam head in a
'b-b-bag if some o-other f-f-f-fool held
it," so it was arranged that when
they came to the canyon they would
camp for the night and then take these
fellows on the snipe hunt. Arranging
the bag with willow hoop, taking
also candle with them, they went up
the canyon with the tenderfeet, Tom
in the lead In the meantime the
guides dispersed among the bushes
and rocks, unbeknown to the eminent
scholars. Arriving at the point where

Tom Tignour, who was somewhat of
a geologist, guide and old-timer. He
had an impeachment of speech, or in
other words suffered, and had a habit
of sticking out his tongue while en-
deavoring to express himself, also
rolling his eyes, which contortions
made him hard man to converse
with. 1t appears that the men of the
party, biologists, naturalists, miner
ologists, botanists and engineers
deemed it part of their duty to poke
fun at Tom, who also treated them
with contempt. 1t was put up job
between Tom and the guides to test
the nerve and knowledge of these
highbrows, whom Tom considered only
believes, and boys so the old, old
game of catching snipes was sprung
on these wards of Uncle Sam. 1t was
noised among these men by quiet sug-
gestions from the guides that below

ALONG The TRAIL OF THE PROSPECTOR-

Rawhide. Uncle Charlie was then act
ing as courier or expressman for the
Government, located at Fort Albright,
in Montana. He had been sent to
Rawhide with a dispatch by Capt.
Dunavant. Upon arriving there he
was compelled to stay until there was
a dispatch to be returned. this being
the rule in those days. The position
of express rider was very exciting
and full of adventures at that time.
As he had reported to the officer in
command, and delivered the dispatch.
he was at liberty to go at will around
the camp, having made arrangements
for sleeping quarters with an officer.
While strolling around he was accost-
ed by a Mexican who had come into
camp, who asked him if he "hada med
icena, heem mucha seek mon,n rub
bling his stomach vigorously. "Senior
heem much gooda mon." Now Uncle
Charlie and all men in those days had
to fight the varmint that would infest
the human body, using blue mass,
which he always carried along with
him, in addition to other medicines
and laxatives. He carried a laxative
and the blue mass in boxes of similar
size and form. He told the Mexican
that when he was ready to retire he
would give him a dose that would cure
him, meaning well in his intentions.
Uncle Charlie, having retired for the
night, forgot all about the greaser.
After while he was accosted by the
fellow, who came into the tent, ad-
dressing Uncle Charlie: Isl, Senior,
heem maybe forgetta ode medicena
mocha seek mon," Reaching out in
the dark Uncle Charlie got, as he sup
posed, the box of laxative, and it be-
ing in the form of salve, cut out a
large sized pill, rolled it and gave it
to the greaser telling him to take it
down with some water, and he would
feel better in the morning. So far so
good, but the worst was yet to come.
After about an hours time, it seemed
as if all the demons were let loose in
that tent where the greaser was stay
ing, bowls, curses, pleading to the
Holy Mother in Heaven, yells, groans,
gatherings from lot of other greas-
ers who came in to see what was the
matter with their comrade. Uncle
Charlie woke up and heard the racket,
and then grew suspicious. Striking a
match, he looked at the box from
which he had taken the medicine, and
his suspicious were verified. He had
given the greaser a pill of louise
grease, or blue mass. Now he was
Thoroughly scared, but would make the
best of it. Blue mass is mercury and

grease combined. More groans and
yells from that tent and then there
was a cessation of strenuous efforts,
but when the wind came from the tent
1t told its own story. Uncle Charlie
quickly threw the box of blue mass
away In the night, quickly cutting
about the same size pill out of the
right box in case the man should die
so they could not fasten it on him.
He sneaked over and looked into the
tent. He said the condition was indies
cribable and the odor was beyond
human endurance. 1t was evident the
medicine had done its work.
The next few days Uncle Charlie did
not want to see the greasers, but was
waiting events to see if he died. He
did meet some of the others who told
him that their comrade was "moocha
seek man, but de medicina yer strong,
heem mocha weak, but heem come
all righta,' some satisfaction to Uncle
Charlie. In few days he met the
victim, who took off his sombrero and
bowed with profuse thanks to the
"Sener who giva de medicena, MOCHA
strong medicena, meek him moocha
seek, but gooda medicinal just the
same. | be a moocha strong mon."
Uncle Charlie said he was nearly dy-
ing to laugh, but with a sober face ac-
cepted the gracious thanks, and said
to the greaser that it was owing to
his not being used to taking such
medicine that he was affected as he
was. 1t never worked that hard on
those who had used it before, and no
doubt the next time if he ever had an
occasion to use it, he would also not
be hit so hard. The greaser accepted
the statement in full Uncle Charlie
said he saw the greaser a year after
wards, and he had grown fat as hog,
his jowls stuck out like hams. He
then thought it might be the physic
had something to do with his gaining
flesh, bue Uncle Charlie said not to
try it.
Uncle Charlie was in Bannock in |
1862 and '63, during the gold excite
want IN Mor+o,o r. x,,,e 1,,,;,,rr 1890 |
June 4th, that seven young men went
over to Alder Gulch, Helena, Montana,
prospecting, and while there they dis
covered the gold for which the Gulch
afterwards became famous. They re-
turned to Bannock on June 9th of the
same year, announcing their find.
Uncle Charlie was working some
claims in Grasshopper, as it was call
ed. 1t was during the winter months
in the camp that Jack Gilmore and
companions were working out their
gravel, which had frozen. 1t seemed |
that the gravel showed up better than
any they had seen in that district.
After cleaning up the cradle full they
had five thousand dollars in the the
cleanup, an extraordinary strike in
deed. After this the rush was to
Alder Gulch.
In 1872 when, with the Hayden Ex-
petition in the now Yellowstone Park,
