20. WORK IN A HOSPITAL. Some one has said that trained nurses grow hardened to their work, but the sudden gush of tears which now and thend blinds a nurse in the hospital wards at Montauk would prove the con trary, says a writer in Collier's Week ly. Especially hard upon these nurses are the night experiences, when life ebbs low and- the strain of silence and darkness is over them. Said one soft eyed night nurse: "Oh, if you could have seen my first patient! He was a lovely boy of 19 from somewhere out on the Mexican border.

In the four days in which he was under my charge grew very attached to him, but Dudden ly, when I was perfectly sure he would soon get well, a violent change came and, in spite of every care, he died. My heart failed me. completely; but there was no time for weakness. Two many cases were needing attention. "I was put in another ward tempor arily and took especial charge of one very peculiar patient.

He lay stolidly staring at me without a particle of ex pression in his eye, and by his apathy rather than by real opposition refused all nourishment and medicine. I could not induce him to speak at first, and it took ten minutes of coaxing to per suade him to swallow a teaspoonful of beef tea. Finally he did so, however and, after another five minutes he con sented to take another, and then an other, the solid expression presently changing into one of intelligence. "If you could have seen the change! Why, he laughed and joked and made such grimaces that my orderly and were convulsed with laughter, and even the weak men on the neighboring cots feebly joined in the laugh. His non sense was absolutely contagious; so much so that I was obliged to slip away into the dispensary to give him an opportunity to sober down, and dentally to prepare some malted milk When I returned five minutes later his expression was still a laughing one, and the orderly, although attending another patient, gave me a knowing smile as I leaned over the weak man's cot.

But this time the patient did not sneak. He was dead, with the smile still on his lips and a strange, half-mis chievous wink lingering about his eyes." THE NATURAL CURIOSITY. Marjorie, aged 6, was sitting in the parlor by the table alone when Mr. Empson was ushered into the room, re lates the Detroit Free Press. "Miss Jamison will be down in a mo ment, sir," said the maid to him.

Mr. Emnson sat down. Marjorie didn't move, and it was fully two mutes Derore tne young man no ticed the tot there on the other side of the table. "Good evening, Marjorie," he said. "Howdydo?" she replied, hen she laid aside her book and gazed at-Mr.

Emp-son's feet. "What are you looking at, Marjorie?" he asked, thinking his shoe must have come untied. "I was just wondering if you could do it in summer," answered the little girl. "I saw Tommy do it last winter." "Do what?" asked the perplexed young man. "Skate." "Why, what do you mean, Marjorie?" "Nothin.

I Just heard my big sister say thith afternoon that that old Fkate Empson wath comin' t'night an' I wuth lookin. se if you had 'em on." Special Correspondence. Bozeman, Oct. 15.

Quite a serious mistake was discovered in the tax books the beginning of the present week which, if it had not been found out at the time it was would have meant a loss of about S6.300 to the Bozeman school district The officers in the clerk and recorder's office in making the school tax assessment omitted the usual county levy of three mills, the special school tax levy by vote of five mills, for the total tax, instead of eight mills.

The treasurer had sent out his tax notices and the mistake caused him a great deal of embarrassment as he had to emu uui new notices to all taxpayer in school district No. 7 with an ex jjidnauon attacned. It was an import ant matter to the school trlnstPPs No. 7 district as they had about $4,000 ofinterest and $4,000 of bonds to pay in a icw wtens time ana were relying ud i vAes lu iay on inese Bums, nirie ueing very little money in the euiiuiji treasury. ihe county Democratic committee on oaturaay afternoon pursuant elected an executive com or c.

Maguire's was open four nights and Wednesday matinee with "The Span of Life," which drew unusually large audiences at every performance. The company's scenery is equal to the most exacting requirements of modern spectacular productions. The piece is of strong dramatic interest, and the company, though not strong, is well balanced, and it presents an agreeable performance. 'The Pulse of New York," the favorite farce, will be the attraction at the Family theater week of Oct. 16.

This season's production will be graced by a background of 12 star specialties, including Miss Emyline.Barr, the Baltimore belle, who will be seen in five different characters, displaying versatility and stunning gowns; also the female baritone wonder; Miss Madge Maitland, in a series of recent hits; the' Thompson Tots, two infant wonders; Thomas W. Hill, singing and dancing star, and the always popular "Pulse" quartette. "The Pulse of New York" may be described as a progressive play of the period as it does the three acceptable forms of entertainment drama, farce and vaudeville. For an evening of genuine enjoyment "The Pulse of New York" will meet all requirements of the patrons of the ever popular and never changing price theater. "Chattanooga," the new war play, by Lincoln Carter, which was produced very successfully at the Columbia theater in Chicago last June, will be presented at Maguire's opera commencing to-night and continuing four nights with Wednesday matinee.

Mr. Carter's new play Is not only a reflection of a life of the day gone by, but it is animated by an entirely new spirit, the spirit of the year, a sympathy and tenderness on the part of the north for the people of the sunny south. The Chicago Journal has this to say of a scene: "At the end of the third act a Union soldier pursuing a Confederate overtakes him in a wooded swamp. After an altercation about his arrest they discovered tlfey knew each other before the war, and the Union soldier decides to let the rebel go. To effect this he tells him to take his coat.

The southerner refuses. says the northerner; 'you don't like the color of it, The audience holds its breath, hoping this won't go too far. 'Well, you just put on this blue coat; it may be the means of saving your and the action is suited to the word, accompanied by a great sigh of relief from all parts of the house. 'Chattanooga' is certainly full of thrilling situations, not the least of which is the final one, an engine rushing down the center of the stage at terrific speed for full two minutes. The production here will be on a scale of magnificence that is really startling to those who are just a little bit behind the times." There is a real treat in store for the lovers of the mysterious.

The truly great Kellar, the magician, will be at Maguire's opera house three nights, beginning Thursday? October 20th. Whilst Kellar is not a3 entertaining a snowman" as was Herman, to this writer's mind, he is by long odds the greatest magician. His illusions have always been more wonderful, and of a higher order, than those of any other magician. Mr. Kellar is a cultivated gentleman, and a man of no inconsiderable Iearnine.

Mr. and Mrs. Hannibal A. Williams, of New York, both talented artists who come to Butte with the endorsement of the lovers of art in the large cities Sf the ast, will present Shakespearian recitals at the Presbyterian church on Monday and Tuesday evenings.

Both entertainments are under the patronage of a large number of our most prominent ladies and gentlemen. Dr. noted thought reader and hand reader, who has spent several weeks in Butte, giving hand readings exclusively, left yesterday afternoon for Anaconda, where he will spend a few days going thence to Mis soula or to Helena. From Helena, he win jump to Denver.

The doctor during his protracted stav made many personal friends, as did also his accomplished wife, who is her- feir a hand reader of no mean ability. The doctor is a polished man of the world, and his work here as a hand-reader gave general satisfaction, as was attested by not a few citizens of note over- their own signatures. It was hoped by many that the doctor would give a publte exhibit in hypnotism and mind-reading, and that he did not was not a little disappointment. Butte is to be favored at an early date with the event of the theatrical season. "Romeo and Juliet," well staged, cor rectly costumed and well acted, a good company with many well known names among them, and amid so exceptional a setting as rare a jewel as Janet Waldorf.

This winsome genius, this living embodiment of every role, be it Rosalind or Juliet, Beatrice, Camille'or the Lady of Lyons, is rapidly but steadily rising to the top of her profession. As far as her tours extend, her triumph is complete. This is the last time, however, for a while that the west will have the opportunity of see ing her. Europe and the metropolis will claim her for a while after this season. Many remember her last year as Julia and Partfienia, and a crowded and brilliant house is an assured thing.

Her company is considerably augmented since last season, containing such prominent names as William McVay, Ner posed of instrumental and vocal music of a high order and excellently rendered by the performers. The Woman's Domestic, Literary and Social Club met at the home of Mrs. H. Baker on Church street Wednesday afternoon.

Prof. Sloane says: "Bismarck's feelings toward United States have been of a composite character. On the one hand, saw with dismay the extent and qual ity of German emigration. A landed proprietor himself, he could not but sympathize with his fellow-younkers, whose peasant villages were partly and in many cases entirely deserted by their inhabitants. Labor becoming scarce and dear; American and English agricultural machinery forced on unwilling buyers, who fretted under the compulsory us3s of what they could not easily manipulate; prices of farm products ao longer assured by the demands of a home market, but subjected to the fluctuations of a world market in which the United Stat is the controlling dealer all these things gave him pain and anxiety.

He suffered, too, along with his class. As a patriot he felt it likewise to be a grave matter that millions should substantiate the saying that Germans had little patriotism, exemplifying in the ease with which vhey acquired new citizenship, the motto: 'Ubi bene, ibi patria' (My fatherland is where 1 am prosperous). Te prosperity and contentedness of the German-American were a menace to the institutions under which he had been neither prosperous nor contented. He also saw that the growing industries of the United States would make it a danger-our rival of Germany in the coming struggle for commercial 1 supremacy with Great Britain. "On the other hand, two of Bismarck's warmest friendships were with Americans Bancroft and Motley.

It was by his favor solely that the existing emigration and citizenship treaties between the German empire and the United States were negotiated through Bancroft. In 1869 there was a suspicious outburst in the public prints of both continents against the American historian. This Bismarck attributed to the combined hostility of England and of the rman particularists. Accordingly he wrote to Motley with the frankness of intimate acquaintance, begging him to do what he could to prevent the threatened removal of his friend. His language in speaking of Bancroft is remarkable: 'He represents practically the same great progress of development in which Moses the Christian revelation and the reformation appear as stages, and in opposition to which the Caesarean power of ancient and modern times, the clerical and dynastic prejudices of th people, offer every hindrance, including that of calumniating an honest and ideal minister like Bancroft."
