Several people were making ptir

yesterday when an old man with a
cane in on" hand and a bundle in the
other stood in the door and asked :
“Hid any of you drive up here in a
sleigh?”
“Yes, I did,” replied one.
’Was it an old while lios.- ?’
‘ Yes. ’
“Was it an old woman in the cutter ?’
•Yes. 1
‘And can she manage the boss? 1
‘I guess she can. 1
•Then it’s all right. 1 said the man of
the cane and bundle. ‘The old boss

A Narrow fcseape.
Among the excited crowd that
vi iled the office of the Helena
[Mont.| Jiuhiicdnit for news con
cerning the Uto outbreak, there
stood a tall handsome youth of
twenty-three years, the strange
whiteness of whose hair became at
once a matter of comment. 1 bi
young man war John 1 ,enf,,rr, who
had not long ago hired himself as a
ranchnTau with Charles D. Hart, i
I three miles out of Helena, l/o fnr
ivas importuned by an hvlc )Ci ident ]
' rtporter to tell 'the story of hi->
i gray topknot.” lie, at the age ol
nineteen years, was one of llie
seven packers who left Fort. Lin
coin in 1575. to ride with Gen
eral Custer along the Little Bit’
Horn. When the fight of that
bright, but disaster ms Hummer
morning opened, L"afurr, with hi*
CompoioiiH ! npponotl to be threi
miles aivny from the command. In
a few moment after the sound of
the combat reached him, a hand o(
j Sioux sprang from the grass within
a fi'iv feet of thrill. Leafarr noosed a
rope, placed it in the month ol the
■teareal horse, and leaping upon the
j back of the animal, plunged hi*
: spurs into tiie flank. As lie hugged
Ids horse he saw his six com
panions go down, onn after the
other. One bullet out of Ihe hun
dred that followed him tore
through I)is neck, another cot a
deep furrow across his cheek, a third
imbedded itself in His thigh, and a
fourth killed his li irse. The des
perate boy shot an approaching In
dian. arid r:n for a licit of timber
hall a mile distant' Barefooted,
weak and faint from llie loss of
blood, lie outran his pursuers and
reached the woods, whore lie hid
i for three days. He was at last
found by three friendly Crow In
i dians and taken by them to Fort
Lincoln, where lie told of the mas
sacre. It ivas not intil he reached
, the fort that be knew of the change
in his hair, which, before Ins terri

been living at various points on
: tlie plains. He does not like, to go
! over the story of his wonderful ad
’ venture.
A .Merchant's Farcer.
We clip the following cxtreal,
allowing the way in which same of
our merchants have risen from no
i humble, non-remunerative position
i to that of wealth and prominence
A few years ago a large drug firm
advertired for a hoy. The next day
; tlie store was thronged with nppli
i cants, timing them n queer-looking
little fellow, accompnned by a wo
man, who proved to he liis aunt
in lieu of his fatherless parents, by
whom he had been abandoned
Looking at this little waif, (lie
I merchant in tiie store said: ''Can’t
take him; places all full; besides he
too small.” T know lie is small,”
i said tiie woman, “but lie is willing
i and faithful." There ivas a twinkle
in tlie boy’s eye which made the
merchant think again. A partner
1 in tlie firm volunteered to remark
: that “he did not see that they
wanted such a hoy—lie wasn’t lug
ger than a [iut of cider.” But after
consultation the hoy was set to
work. A few day later a call was
made on the store for some one to
: stay all night. Tiie prompt re
sponse of thulittlj fellow contras
ted well with the reluctance of the
j others. In tlie middle of the night
the merchant looked in to see if ail
ivas right in tlie store, and present
ly discovered liis youthful protege
; busv scissoring labels. "What are
you doing?” said he. “I did not tell
you to work nights.” “I know you
did not tel! me so, Vmt I thought
1 might ns well be doing some
thing.” In the morning tlie cashier
got orders to “double that boy’s
wages, for lie is willing.” Only n
few weeks clasped before n show of
wild beasts passed through tlie

A Poor Printer's Only Lots.
A portion of the facia in regard
to a romaolic and tragic love affair j
(invo come to our knowledge j
through correspondence, and we i
are not awan that " the story lias j
yet been published in Eastern pa
pers. About two years ago a young 1
printer in Belfast, named Frederick
Gaiter, married and went to Mon- j
(aim witii liis bride. There ho oh- !
(tiined work in a printing office,
and soon became (lie intimate
friend of another compositor in !
the H'-me place. Through Mrs. arid j
Mrs. Ciirter the printer friend j
i whoso name tva have not yet J
learned), began a correspondence j
with Mrs. Carter’s sister, n young j
and good-looking lady named j
Mary Itigga, then residsing in Bel
fast. Frequent letters were, ex
changed, and, though the young I
couple hud never seen each other j
they became more interested in one j
another. At last Ihe compositor, I
who had save 1 money, proposed to j
marry Miss Riggs; she accepted, j
and lie paid her fare to Montana,
and spent considerable money f r !
her outfit,furniture r!r. i went
lo that distant territory and tire
nmn was in nine set fm itm rt.m
tia »e, but the young lady delayed;
then a second date was fixed, but
at last she told tlie young man that
she did not like him, and could not
marry him. He was deeply in love
w lii her, and liis disappointment
was so knen that lie committed
suicide by shooting himself. — /liu
