Tune—“After the Ball.” A little maiden climbed an old man’s knee, Begged him to tell her, do mister please, Why are you tramping from day to day, Have you no money, no place to stay? I had a home, dear, one year ago, Whero it is now, child, you shall, know. List to my story, don’t ask a question, I lost my home, dear, aftor election. onioRtrs. After election was over. After the fourth of March, After old G-rover got there, After he got a start, Many the bank that’s busted, Many have loet their all, Many a banker has vanished, Since last fall. -How bright my prospects, one short year ago, How light my neart was, you cannot know, Work then was plenty, wages were good, Clothing and money, and plenty of food, But when Grover got there, see the change it made, Remove the tariff, give us free trade. The scare shut tire mines down, the mills also, Made mo a tramp, child, with nowhere to go. CHORUS. In one year only,\ what a change it wrought. Many iho happy home, pet, to sorrow it' brought, Mon that were men, child, but one year ago, •Now they are tramping, and nowhere to go, One day a letter came from Hoke Smith, I think, said the lettor, your poor health’s a myth, We want you to prove it beyond a question, I’ll sift this matter, after election. CHORUS. , I cannot furnish that proof you see, I have no money to pay lawyer’s fee, Once I proved my claim just, beyond a doubt. Biit now the rebs are smiling, and I am out, Wo wanted a change, dear, we were not con tent, It came with a vengfiance. but I ’ll bet a cant. Our father good sense you will not question, We’ll have another, after next election.

The Missoulian's cor respondent send.-, reports to the effect that a courier arrived at Kendrick at live o’clock this morn* ingb^aring the stanlingannounce- ment that the party, except Onl gate, was foun,d by Lieut. Elliott’s relief corps, on (ho middle fork ol i he Cle.irw iter* 130 miles from a habitation, famished, without horse or 'provisions, bare footed, only the soles of then* shoes re tnaining, and scant of clothing. Hemmed in by interminable and impenetrable snow banks, and aftor several attempts at. escape, the party became resinned to their fate, trusting to providence lor relief Another thirty six hours would have discovered their frozen remains. Lieut. Elliott found the tnen verging on in sanity, every hope gone. He was horrified to learn that Cpigate was still behind, owing to his in ability to keep up with the party. This necessitated sending addi tional search for Colgate, though Carlin believes he will not be found alive;‘ Tod leaving of Colgate'1 is said to have been the most trying ordeal of the expedition. Anaconda’s Rival. A big find of copper ore has just been unearthed on this valley. The find is located on the long red hill between Thomases gulch and Benton, not far from Joe Steph ens. The three lucky men who made the find each closed his eyes and stood with his back to the shaft and picked up a chunk of ore. which, when essayed yielded 33^ per cent, copper. They are now down about twenty feet, and have erected a cabin andshafrhouse ami are procuring supplies and will work all winter. They are putting down a shaft in a clay formation along side the lead which is four or five feet thick, and when down 80 or 100 feet will cross cut. This is one of the best mining prospects yet unearted within the confines of Smith river valley. It is only about three hundred yards from the survey of the Montana Midland railroad and will probably be the first mine to vield ore for transportation on this line. We look for big things from this, find since it is in a most promising locality.—Husbandman. i ■ — , r r 7 , ^ Polly Had Oyerheard. Lady of thé house (just returned, from a visit:) “ Poor. Polly!

Montana did herself proud with her agricultural exhibit at the World’s Fair.. The report on rec ord of yeilds were confind to the crops a sample of which was furn ished for exhibit and none dated back of 1892, That year it will be remembered was if anything rather below the average of* Mon tana crop years, but for all that our state distanced all competitors in the quality of their products in the yields per acres and in the size of the fields from which the yields were obtained. It. was generally supposed by, even Montanian’s who visit d the Fair that the fabulous yields reported, were from isolated acres, but such was not the case. The figures given were an aver age from large fields.—Husband man. « ■ “ M.v friend,” began the solemn man with the red nose, “ we are all dust.” “ Gowan!” replied the new policeman, “ or I’ll soak you, an’ then your name will will be mud, see?” —Indianapolis Journal. “ Oh, Cholly, w w-why do you .w wear such high heeled shoes?” < “ Weally must do it, old chappie!..

K a n s a s C i t y , Nov. 24,—A secret meeting of the K h u n k populists was held to.night in this city. It is learned from an authentic source that action which will probably result in a split in the party in Kansas was decided upon. It is -aid that among those present to day were Jerry Simpson and 60 others, all high in populist circles. Fronrauthenh’c sources it is stated that the meeting denounced in the most unqualified terms the Kansas administration by the populists as rotten, entirely incompetent and silly.
