THE MONTANA PLAINDEALER Vol. 111 While it appears to be the sentiment of the taxpayers to accept the $400,000.00 offer for the present waterworks system, it seems as though they should go slow as they might buy the plant and with it more lawsuits than they ever dreamed of. We believe that Mayor Edwards is better informed on the water question than any man in this section and that on this issue he is strictly for the best interests of all the people, hence his opinion in the present issue should be a valued one. We had a good friend who was always with us until he struck prosperity. When he did he promptly quit our company and this brings foresibly to our mind how fickle some of our leading men are, and it is perhaps an act of providence that they advance no more than they do as they cannot stand it to prosper. We want more manly and broad-gauged men and women who will not only lift themselves but serve to uplift a race. The recent acquittal of a certain young man in the district court on the white slavery charge should be a warning to others that have no more ambition than to lay around and be content to live off some falen woman. The town is too full of this class and if the authorities wil go ahead and vigorously prosecute the guilty ones regardless of their race variety they will perform a duty which shall edound signally to their credit. We do not believe that there should be my difference between the black and the white. We are told that both If the lady will turn back a few pages and read, she will find that only a short time ago Mr. Washington was entertained by Mr. Carnegie at his castle in Scotland and by the crown heads and their wives in Europe—households that Lila Day Monroe and those who think like her can never hope to enter. If Mr. Washington, the Duchess of Marlborough, Carnegie and other rich educated and refined people can dwell in peace in the same neighborhood, Lila Day Monroe, Dr. Eva Harding, Nick Chiles and other Westerners ought to rejoice and feel exceedingly happy.

DuBois, the Race's Highest Educated Citizen, Defines the Five New Rights Which All Men, White and Black, Should Enjoy—Commented on By Robert Hunter in the Printer and Decorator Magazine. HER SORT OF MAN SOCIETY GIRL GIVES LINE ON WHAT SHE WANTS. Man Must Be Successful, With $7,000 Income and Good Prospects Must Not Get Drunk in "What sort of a man would I marry. Well, in the first place he'd have to be successful. Not terribly rich, though, because I have money of my own. Say five thousand a year and good prospects. Don't care how he makes it, but he must be a good spender and have plenty of small talk. Dress? Why, of course, the men in our set have to dress well or the girls wouldn't look at them. As for his principles and so on. I'm not awfully straight-laced, you know. What I absolutely insist on is that he does not get drunk in public." The speaker, Miss Winnie M., says Robert Haven Shauffer, in Success Magazine, was a popular member of the Smart Set in the large Northeastern city which she called home. She was tall, slender, animated, with a charming figure, light, curly hair and extraordinary flashing blue eyes. She was the only child of a millionaire and barely twenty-three. "Of course I'd like him older," she continued. "About fifteen years older would do. The elderly ones can give a girl a better position, and I wouldn't mind if he were a wildower—either grass or sod. I know lots and lots of divorced people. And of course, if I didn't hit it off with my husband I'd not be long about getting a divorce." "Would I prefer remaining single to marrying a man I didn't love?" The great eyes opened in naive astonishment. "Why don't you know that after a few years, if a girl doesn't marry, she simply has no position? Love's all very nice, of course, but it isn't really necessary for marriage. . . ." "Children! Oh, yes. I'd want one or two, but no more. . . Heredity? Now what does that word mean anyway?" The average income demanded by the Smart Set girl, on which to start married life, is $7,000 a year and excellent prospects. Besides that, as a rule she expects to have money of her own. "I simply couldn't be happy," declares a spoiled child of fortune in the middle west, "without certain luxuries such as opera seats, trained servants to care for me, and beautiful surroundings. I simply couldn't ride in the trolley cars. It may seem snobbish, but it's a fact. I hate crowds, and one cannot have privacy without money." When to Buy Books. "When is the best time of the year to buy books?" was the question asked of the man who presides over a second-hand book stall by a regular customer. "Well, replied the seller, 'the best time of the year to buy and the time of the greatest opportunity to pick up bargains is right now. Why? Well, strange as it may seem, there are a lot of folks in this big city who sell their books in the summer time to get the money for a trip out of town, a week's vacation, and sometimes because their business stagnates with the coming of hot weather and they need the money. Most of them are the kind of people who never think of the pawnshops. That's a sort of disgrace with them. But they have books that they have read and have no further use for. They get to pick out a lot of them and bringing them to me. It's cash for them, and as for me, my stock is always best and there is the choicest picking about this season." International Peace No Dream. It is a testimonial to the vitality of the peace idea that it should appear with undiminished vigor after every disappointment and every setback. Where ten years ago a solitaary—and strangely incongruous—voice for disarmament spoke up in the czar's palace, today the limitation of armaments is a subject of thought and discussion in every chancellery of Europe. It is in the permanency and universality of the interest which now attaches to the subject of international peace that we find the clearest indication of its strength. It no longer manifests its self in isolated congresses, dealing specifically with peace. It breaks out in sovereigns' meetings, ministerial conferences, scientific congresses, labor congresses, and Socialist congresses. If international peace is indeed a dream, it is being dreamt so persistently and so widely as to take on for practical purposes the aspect of reality.—New York Post. The Fisherman's Test. "How do you know," this man asked of the man hauling on the seine, "whether the fishes you catch are up to the limit fixed by the law? Have to put a tape line on some of them?" "Well, no," said the fisherman, "we don't exactly have to go to that trouble. We have an easier way of measuring them than that." "Every fisherman has sawed in the seat of the boat little notches of the right distance apart to indicate the lawful length at which fish may be taken, and when he takes out of the net a fish that doesn't look much too long he lays its nose against one of these notches and its tail against the other." "If it touches the notches, why, into the basket goes the fish; but if it doesn't, why, then the fish goes overboard." NEW USE FOUND FOR SNAKES Farmer In Ohio Discovers Them Clearing the Potato Bugs From His Patch. Farmers in various sections of the country have for a number of years declared snakes that are non-poisonous are very valuable to the farmers. They say the reptiles are very good at catching field mice, rats and even the frisky ground squirrels that are so very destructive to fields of newly planted grain. But the latest use for the ugly reptiles has just been discovered in Harrison county, Ohio, a few miles east of the historic town of Cadiz, where Charles Albright, who is farming the lands of Samuel K. McLaughlin, found a garter snake eating potato bugs. Albright was out in the field destroying the bugs, which are quite plentiful, and coming upon a snake coiled up in a potato plant, he secured a club and killed it. In a few moments he discovered the top of another potato plant swaying back and forth, and looking closely, discovered another snake of the same variety coiled up in the branches of the thrifty plant. He was interested to know why these reptiles should be occupying such a strange position, and after watching for a short time he saw the snake pick off and devour dozens of the troublesome potato bugs. He did not kill the reptile, and he says he will not allow any of these snakes to be harmed on the land he has charge of, for he thinks they have become very useful. PHOTOGRAPHING ON APPLES How Pictures or Words Are Printed by Nature on the Growing Fruit. Occasionally much interest is aroused by the appearance in a fruit store of a few apples on which appear perfect photographs, not pasted on but apparently in the skin of the fruit itself. Though interesting, the method of making picture apples is simple and not at all difficult if the fruit is of a red variety. Just before the apple begins to turn a photographic film is fastened about it in such a manner that it will not move and blur the picture. The foliage is then removed so that the apple is exposed to the direct rays of the sun and nature does the printing. The prints are clear, sharp and perfect in every way, except that depth of tone is lacking. If it is desired to brand a name or words on the fruit black paper should be used instead of the film, the desired letters being cut out. Probably some clever advertiser will take advantage of this method some day, and we may be handed an apple on which is attractively etched something like "If I Give You Pains Take Pepper Pepsin Pills." A Smile Counts Every one likes to see a smiling face, and to smile becoming one must cultivate a cheerful and sympathetic condition of mind. The face wreathed in smiles is like perpetual sunshine in a house. It is irresistible, and conquers all hearts. A smiling mouth loses half its charm if the eyes do not correspond; for the eyes are the windows of the soul, and the smile that lies only about the lips soon dies away, leaving an indifferent spirit to survey and chill the world. Cultivate the art of smiling, not with your lips, but with your eyes. Every one can have laughing eyes. They are not a matter of inheritance, nor can they be acquired with the aid of the masseuse and the professional beauty specialist. Love is the great transformer. The sternest features may be softened, the hardest natures be humanized, by love. Particular About Cheese. Gritts, the grocer, pulled his apron straight and put on his No. 1 smile as the lady with the I'm-placing-a-thumping-order air entered the shop. She wanted some cheese. "Yes, madam," smirked Gritts. "I have some delightful Derbys, madam, a quantity of choice Cheddars, madam, and a parcel of prime Parmesans." Madam would like to taste some if she could. Certainly, madam could, if she would. Gritts flourished his gauge over this cheese and that. Madam nibbled at 11 different samples. No; none of them was quite "it." "Of course, madam," said Gritts at length, "if you require Stilton—" and he handed her a generous taster. "Ah," nodded the lady, as she smacked her lips, "that will do nicely! Now, if you'll give me a matchbox I'll be getting home. I only want to bait a mousetrap!" Equal to the Crisis The wives of Napoleon III's marshals played a great part during and after the second empire. When Marshal Bazaline was planning his escape from the Isle Sainte Marguerite his wife assisted him in the plan and came in the boat to meet him. When General de Cavignac died in exile and disgrace on the Riviera his wife was determined that he should at least be buried in the family vault at Pere La Chaise. In order to accomplish her object, with the aid of a faithful servant she had the corpse arrayed in a huge traveling cloak and lifted into a railway carriage. With such a companion beside her, this woman made the journey alone, in defiance of the law. These women seemed to have been equal to any crisis in which they found themselves. GIRLS PENNED IN CAR GIRLS PENNED IN CAR TWO TOTS PRISONERS, HUNGRY AND THIRSTY 72 HOURS. Ride From Buffalo to Hoboken Where Reservation Rolled Out Options Find New York.—Two small girls who were penned in a pitch dark refrigerator car by boys whose sense of humor was abnormal were found lying in the car when it reached Hoboken from Buffalo. They were not able to walk. It was some time before thyre could speak. They had been seventy-two hours without food or drink or sufficient air. That they were alive at all was a thing to wonder at. Mary Moni is 10 and Nelsie De Forko is 8. Both girls live at 21 Indiana street, Buffalo. The two girls used every day to run around the Lackawanna freight yards in Buffalo. Boys of their age and older hung around the freight yard. One morning a couple of those boys shouted out to the girls: "Hey! There's bananas in that car. Want some bananas? Back in that car you'll find some. G'wan in." It was an empty refrigerator car to which the boys pointed. The two girls clambered into it and began pooping over the floor. They heard the heavy door bang to and found themselves in blackness. They rushed for the door and pounded on it. They could hear the boys outside laughing in derision. The boys made no attempt to open the car door and the girls got frightened. They screamed a little and kicked with their bare feet. Pretty soon they heard the voices of the boys and knew them to be trying to open the door. The door never budged. A little longer the two girls kicked and beat upon the door. Then Mary Moni heard Nelsie fall upon the floor of the car and begin to sob. They heard an engine puffing louder every second. Bang; Mary was bumped to the floor. There was an interval of several minutes. Then the engine chugged, the car gave a jerk, and in the darkness they knew themselves to be moving. They were moving rapidly now. Mary coaxed Nelsie up into a corner. They sat there and sobbed as the train sped. After a long time thy'e felt hollow and hungry. Mary and Nelsie explored the floor of the car. They found nothing at all. The two girls found they were to be without food or water. Besides, it was so hot and stifling they found it a labor to breathe, and moving about was exhausting. They lay perfectly still, therefore, and in time the first faintness of hunger left them. But it was intolerably hot, and their thirst grew. It was night now. The beam of light was gone. Yet neither girl slept. The roar of the train was loud and steady. Great tears rolled down their cheeks. During the first night Mary made a useful discovery, the only relief they hit upon the whole journey. She imparted it at once to Nelsie. You take your thumb and catch the tears on it. Then you slip the tears. They are salt and inadequate, but they cool the mouth. In experimenting with this discovery they passed the rest of the night. At length the beam of light appeared, red and pleasurable. All that day the two lay on the floor of the car, jolted each minute and turning from side to side. Then night came on. It is possible the girls slept fitfully, though they could not recollect having done so. The second morning found them a little weaker. They no longer spoke to each other in one syllable words. Nelsie tried to repeat a prayer. She repeated "Ave Maria" to herself several times. Then came night and as the beam of light faded Mary's consciousness faded, too, and Nelsie, who could cry no more, lapsed into quietness. But when the two girls didn't come home the first night their parents had gone anxiously to the police. Some were found who had seen the children in the freight yard. F. H. C. Schoeffe, chief special agent of the Lackawanna, thereupon telegraphed Chief Beatty of the Lackawanna special police in Hoboken to peer instantly into every empty that reached Hoboken. For two days not an empty car reached Hoboken without being examined in a hurry. On the third when a string of twenty-five empty cars came rolling in Yardmaster Dutton, who happened to be moving about the yard, pounced on refrigerator car No. 6986 and pried open the door. He jumped inside. There in the corner he found the two barefooted girls black with dirt. Nelsie was unconscious. It took the doctor two hours to bring both girls to. Dog Bites Off Boy's Tongue Philadelphia, Pa.—Feeding his pet dog in a novel way, allowing the animal to take bits of food from his mouth, Francis Zoraskle, six years old, of 438 Wharton street, lost the tip of his tongue. The dog clipped off a bite in taking the food. The boy was taken to Mt. Sinai hospital, but is not seriously hurt. Pusay's Rival. Figg—it's singular how those old writers live on and on. I can understand it in Plutarch's case. Fogg—Why Plutarch, especially? Figgs—His lives outnumber those of a cat. WOMAN AND HER INSTINCTS She Will Follow the Law of Her Nature Because She Cannot Help It Women will follow the law of thel natures, not because masculine or "womany" arguments convince them, but because it was there before they were; they can no more help it than they can stop their hearts from beating; they have no more choice in the matter than they have in regard to having hands and feet, nor as much. Quite as amenable to the underlying laws of life are the older and sterner members of womankind who chatter on platforms about women's rights. When this kind fall, they fall like Lucifer. I have even observed, though I realize that it will take several aeons before man finds this out, that the strongest-minded women are usually the ones capable of the strongest affections, the most apparently unsexed often, in the deepest sense, the most womanly. The instinct for motherhood is the primal, indestructible fact of woman's life, and professional work, university life, even—even the ballots are not going to change it, any more than the present style in sleeves is going to change it. As well be afraid that water will run up hill, that the Hudson will turn and travel back to the Adirondacks, as that the heart of woman, be she short-haired or long-haired, booted and spurred or clad in chiffon, shall be made any way except as it is made, and has been for all time! The swallow to her nest, the river to the sea and the heart of the woman to her child, existent or non-existent. You cannot keep the needle from pointing to the pole, and no amount of good advice will make it point there irrevocably.—Ecribner's. TALE OF YACHTING CRUISE How a Hostess Arranged a Breakdown and Got Rid of Her Bored Guests. A few seasons back a well-known hostess chartered a splendid yacht for August and invited a large number of her friends for a three-week cruise. At first all went well, though the party was not specially well assorted; but after a few days they began to evince signs of being somewhat bored with each other's company. The hostess marked these signs of incipient boredom, which became more plainly evident each day, and at last in despair she took counsel with one of her guests, an old and experienced yachtman. "What on earth shall I do to amuse these people?" she asked. The yachtman looked at the serene sky and calm, blue water, and shook his head doubtfully. "A storm would enliven them up a bit," he said, "but the weather looks quite settled. There is only one thing to be done. You must arrange a breakdown, the engineer will manage that all right for you. He has probably often done so before. Then you must make for the nearest port for repairs, and let your guests have a run ashore. Some of them, I expect, will find an excuse for bidding you good-by and those who remain with you will get along all right together." The hostess took her guest's advice, and arrived at Toulon a day later, where nigh twenty of her guests bid her good-bye. M. A. P. Pride of Opinion: Pride of opinion is perhaps the most common fault of us fairly educated and intelligent moderns. We form our judgments and then, as it were, defy anyone to change them. It is said that no one has ever been converted by abstract argument. At the time of the great disaster in Martinique, the Italian bark Orsolina was taking on a cargo of sugar there. Her captain was accustomed to volcanoes and he did not like the appearance of Mont Pelee. Not half his cargo was on board, but he decided to sail for home. "The volcano is all right," argued the shippers. "Finish your loading." "I don't know anything about Mont Pelee," said the captain, "but if Vesuvius looked that way I'd get out of Naples, and I'm going to get right out of here." The shippers threatened him with arrest. They sent customs officers to detain him, but the captain persisted in leaving. Twenty-four hours later the shippers and the customs officers lay dead in the ruins of St. Pierre—Kate Upson Clark, in the Christian Herald. Cupid'a Retreat The old man was down in the furniture store. "By the way," he said, just before leaving, "my daughter has just started to have a young man calling, and I suppose I should buy them a pretty sofa to make love on." "Yes, sir," responded the dealer, "and here is the very kind you need. It is called 'Cupid's Retreat.'" "H'm! What are the good points?" "Why, in just one year the cover wears off, displaying a card—'It is time to get married.'"—Mack's National Monthly. The Telltale Body. A main fact in the history of manners is the wonderful expressiveness of the human body. If it were made of glass or of air and the thoughts were written on steel tablets within, it could not publish more truly its meaning than now. Wise men read very sharply all your private history in your look and gait and behavior. The whole economy of nature is bent on expression. The telltale body is all tongues...Emerson. DELIGHT OF TRAVEL THROUGH BOLIVIAN FORESTS. Deadly Reptiles and Flerce Wild Beasts In Profusion—Myriads of Insects That Cause the Most Intense Suffering. There are big snakes in the tremendous tropical forests of eastern Bolivia and concerning one of them Maj. P. H. Fawcett writes in the Geographical Journal: "It was in this river (the Abuna) that we killed a huge anaconda, whose dimensions have, I observe, aroused skepticism in some quarters. It was colled around a trunk and partly out of the water. The Indians were most anxious that we should not shoot, as these reptiles are said to attack small boats if irritated. It measured approximately 48 feet out of the water, and we estimated another 17 feet in—far too colossal a reptile to skim even could we have carried or preserved such a thing, or the Indians had been willing to operate. That it was an uncommon size is probable—that it is exceptional. I doubt; for the tracks of these reptiles from the swamps, whence they emerge by night, suggest a prodigious size. The Brazilian boundary commission in Corum ba told me of one killed near that town measuring 85 feet." There are other creatures than anacondas in those forests, however, the major writes again: 'The jaguar is common enough, particularly in cattle districts. He is usually cowardly, but in places is a man-eater. There are two varlettes, one the size of a big leopard, the other somewhat larger than a Bengal tiger. In the cattle districts of Mojos and the Paraguay, it is a common sport among the gauchos to lasso these beasts. The black panther is, however, universally dreaded. He is rare and I have seen only one skin. The anaconda is ubiquitous and haunts rivers, swamps and lagoons. It moves by night and has a weird cry. The rattlesnake, or cascabella, and other species of polsonous snakes are about as abundant as such reptiles are in India, but are rarely met with in the dry season. Insects are legion. Mosquitoes, of course; roca-roca, a microscopic fly which at times makes observation work by night almost impossible; marigwis, or the Portuguese plum, which in the dry season attack, in thousands; wasps and bees. "Bees do not suggest any serious discomfort. Yet in places one is covered from head to foot by them, inside one's clothes and outside; in one's ears, nose, eyes, hair and mouth if it is opened, pungent odored and seeking salt perspiration. Feeding by day under such circumstances is out of the question. If I could describe the misery born sometimes of these flying and crawling pests it would be thought a traveler's tale. There are jiggers for the toes; ticks in myriads; guanacos, a small white insect, something like a tick, only with an infinitely more irritating bite; microscopic ticks, which burrow and die under the skin; venomous giant spiders, vampire bats and ants." England's Oldest Clock. J. J. Hill, F. R. A. C., and his assistants have been engaged for several months upon repairing the curious astronomical clock placed above the Sylke Chantry in the north transept of Exeter cathedral. This quaint horology, which stood for many centuries on the north tower, rivals in anulty the famous clocks of Wells cathedral and Wimborne minister. It may have been made in the reign of Edward I. and is certainly not of later date than Edward II. These primitive clocks originally possessed neither pendulum nor minute hand, and were wound up by long spikes sticking out of the wooden barrel, over which the rope went that carried the weight—generally a big stone. Lord Grimthorpe, the designer of "Big Ben," maintained that in other respects "there is surprisingly little difference between the oldest of these machines and most turret clocks of the present day."—Dundee Advertiser. Peculiar Land Law. Cortu, where a magnificent marble palace belonging to the Gérman emperor has just been purchased by an American millionaire, can boast of the most peculiar land laws in the world. The landlords are nearly all absentees, and their tenants hold the land on a perpetual lease in return for a rent payable in kind and fixed at a certain proportion of the produce. Such a tenant is considered a coowner of the soil, and he cannot be expelled, except for nonpayment of rent, bad culture, or the transfer of his lease without the landlord's consent, neither can his rent be raised without his permission. Attempts have been made to alter the law, but both landlord and tenants are apparently satisfied with a system that dates back to the time of Homer—Wide World. For His Country's Sake "Father," she said as she laid her soft cheek upon the stern old man's breast, "the count refuses to have me unless you will add $500,000 to my dowry." "I refuse to give another cent!" "But, father, if he doesn't marry me he will take some chorus girl." "Good heavens! In that case I'll yield. There's a chorus girl famine in this country now, and no man shall ever have the right to say that I'm not a patriot."—Chicago Record-Herald. Woman Greatly Wrought by Glowing Accounts Given by Different Persistent Agents. "Look here, sir," she said, as she entered a sewing-machine office the other day, "your agent has imposed upon me." "Is it possible, ma'am? In what re- spect?" "Yes, sir, he has; and I don't want your machine!" "How has he deceived you?" "Why, he came into my house and told me that your machine was the best in the world. I have witnesses, and can prove every word of it." "But that was not deceiving you, ma'am." "Yes, it was! I hadn't the machine two days before another agent called and said his was the best; and he had a circular to back it up. He had hardly got out of doors when another called and said his machine had taken ten medals." "But we have taken fifteen, ma'am" "Oh, have you?" "And we have issued a challenge for a public trial, which no other machine dare accept." "Is that so? Then your machine is the best, after all?" "Certainly." "Then you will please excuse me. I thought I had been imposed upon, and I am afraid I was a little hasty. The other agents must have been the deceivers." ENOUGH TO MAKE HIN SO "I believe that Tom is crazy." "Well, if he isn't he ought to be; he's got a wife and six children and a mother-in-law." Bright Man. Parlins (a resident)—That man we just passed is the one that made this town famous by an axiom he uttered during an after-dinner speech. Titcomb (a stranger)—Is that so? What was the axiom? Parlins—"A lie in the heart of a conscientious man is like a bolted cabbage dinner in the stomach of a dyspeptic." In the Hospital. First Patient—Do you know who that visitor is who came in here a while ago? She was a very distinguished-looking woman. Second Patient—I was struck by her, too, and I asked the nurse, but she told me the visitor was a very ordinary sort of person—ha! never dad an operation for appendicitis ever. A. Dead Giveaway.

Fred—Later I discovered that she had money enough to enable us to board. No Cause for Complaint.

But he loved her very dearly; she was hot headed and headstrong, and Tom Preston had no notion of sitting silent under her unjust reproaches. He preferred to treat the whole mat ter lightly, without resentment, until he could win her over to listen to reason. “I haven't the sltghtest idea tc whom the glove belongs,” he began “but you know very well—" Betty laughed scornfully. “You know perfectly,” he persisted “that nothing feminine under the sun contains a particle of interest fo me except—" “T was once stupid enough to thin} 80," she cut in coldly, “but Prov! dence has been good enough to opel my eyes in time.

Suddenly he bethought himself of an herole measure. “My regiment has been ordered to Manila; {t 1s not likely I shall annoy you by crossing your path in future," he remarked.

WOULD ABOLISH NAVY YARDS Secretary Meyci Makes Recommenda-)| tions to Congress. | ‘The results of a careful personal in- vestigation by Seeretary George Von L. Meyer of many of the navy yards and naval stations are apparent in sweeping recommendations for the abolition of some of these and the development of others as set out in the secretary's an- nual report, just made publie. Seeretary Meyer recommends dispos- ing of the stations at New Orleans, Pensacola, San Juan, Port Royal, New London, Sacketts Harbor, Culebra and Cavite, ‘The secretary finds the Premerton yard at a disadvantage through its lack of railroad communication and its dis- tance from any large supply of labor.
