Funeral of James Fergus the Pioneer at Helena. i» The following condensed report is from a Helena special tothe Standard of Tuesday: . All that was earthly of the late James Fergus, pioneer of pioneers, most beloved of fathers and hus- bands, and stanchest of friends, was laid away in Forest Vale cem- etery, this afternoon with a cere- mony befitting the closing of such a grand career. . Many. tears wore * shod is the gray-haired veterans at the funeral as they gazed upon he placid countenance of their departed comrade an@ friend as it lay in the ‘}eoffin in the sleep that knows no New Stock Ladies’ and Children’s Straw Hats awakening. The funeral took plave at 2 o’clock at the residence of adaugh- ter of the pioneer, corner of Hem- lock street and Dearborn avenue, and was marked bya gathering of men such as the closing of one’s life seldom calls together. Pioneers who had known Mr. Fergus in early days came to Helena to be present at the burial. The Gilpatrick home was crowded when the time set for the funera! arrived, and many persons stood in the yard, heads.uncovered, as they heard the brief but ‘impres- sive funeral sermon, the only thing constituting the service, for Mr. Fergus was a believer in rm creed or faith. At % o'clock former Mayor E.D. Weed delivered the funeral ser- mon, in which he paid glowingand fitting tribite to the character of of the departed. “For many years there had been a loving pledge between James Fergus and Wilbur F. Sanders, that when the former came to die his old-time friend should pro- hounce for him theeulogy. And among the Jast words of the strong and gentle man who has gone from among us was reference to this lifelong promise. Unfortunate and sad it is that iliness in a dis- tant city prevents the cloquent voice of Sé@nator Sanders from testifying here today to the virtues and the worth of his dear friend. “James Fergus was a type of noble citizenship, as rare as it is admirable: Modest to a ‘degree, never interfering with the affairs of others, he yet guarded his own privileges as an individual and fol- lowed the right as he was given to see the right. In the best sense he was a frontiersman—a term not well understood. It was his nature to explore, to press forward, to” penetrate to new fields of endeavor. Always at the front in every form of thonght and action, he was a pioneer of pioneers, a pathfinder, a builder of highways, a founder of states. “Upon his deathbed Cecil Rhodes ‘So much to do and so little secpailikaah. Doubtless this is —+»|the ery of every noble.soul. For years it was the regret of Fergus that circumstances seemed to limit his power of doing good,’ He had a noble ambition to serve hig fel- tow men. AH the duties of a citizen, of a neighbor, of.a friend, of all the sacred relations of pri- vate life, hedischarged with fidelity. but he had a higher purpose—to be of substantial benefit to his fel- lows. Whio shall: say. that in all his life he did not build better than he . knew and thus leave tlre great- est of all benefactions to his fellow- men? . , ‘dames Fergus, brave pioneer, intrepid breaker of the way for civilization, great-of heart, noble of_purpose, deep and rich in all the kitdly traits that go to make the purest gold of nobility and worth, bas gone-away with the oss- | gathering shadows. And yet the world, brighter and better for his having lived, goes on forever. So it shall be always. He has left ‘the heritage of his great and use- \ful life to history. All men are sharers‘in the wealth of his noble memory, His life went out. ‘like the | ceasing of exquisite music.’ Itwent to,mingle with the elements, to be- come a part of the breath of morn-|ed point, the midday alee ‘of Pericles, it may be said of such as he, “Their “glory shall never die; the whole world is their sepulchre; their epitaphs are written in the hearts of mankind, and wherever there is speech of noble deeds their names are held in rmembranee.”’ Local Correspondence BOULDE R.

In 1845 a Mexiéan familly Itved near what is now Los Angeles, Cal, Deb Miguel Caro, the father, was a descend. ant ,of one of the conqverors who married Aztecs and remaiued tn the country, He had one daughter, a girl 80 attractive that she had many suit- ore, but there was an attachment from childhood Letween her and young Juan Nstrella which kept her from belng In- terested In any one clse. Whtn Dov Miguel realized that bis daughter had become a woman and ler heart was fr. revocnbly glren to Juan, he was beside hhngelf with anger, for Juan was without fortune, and there were others of means who would gladly marry the Yovely Donna Maria. Don Miguel for- bade Juan the house. The boy upotif his pronilse uot to attempt to see Maria again was permitted to bid ber adleu, “Iam golng away, Maria,” he said, “since 1 cannot live near you and not see you,” “Go, Juan, make a fortune and come back. 1 will wait for you.” “Thore aro no fortunes to be made on this ecorst,”-he eaid, “and + -atm ge ing northwaw, where tlie country Ie | new and there ts etill lees chaneo, Nev ertheless should I ever be able to give you a home I will geome back, and if you ere not married” “1 shall, not be married.” sald the girl.

It is a weird flower, It Is al- most sentient, with a life unknown to human kigd. “While glory guards with sdlomn tread the bivouac of the dead” stéaithily a sea of gore creeps over the old battlefields.’ Blood red, the popples in waves and billows bold high carul- val above the soil that covers the slain, Lord Macaulay suys of the battlefield of Neerwipden; “The samnicr gfter the battle the soll, fertilized by 20,000 dead, broke forth into millions of blood red poppies. The traveler from St. Trond to Tirtemont who saw that vast teid of rich scarlet stretching from Landen to Neerwinden could hardly help fan- eying that the Ogurative description of the Hebrew prophet was literally ac complished; that “the earth was die- closing her blood and refosipg to cover her slain.” Bayard Taylor lu “The Lands of the Saracen” says Le contem.

One of the ways of making money for the poor was this: The privilege of dancing with any lady could be obtained only by the man who would pay. the highest price for the honor, At the ball given by Don Miguel in the winter of 1851 there was more spirited bidding for a dance with Donna Marla than any other lady, Clavergaro.scon_octstripped all other bidders, offering 500 Spanish dollars, and was about to lead the girf forth when a volce from behind the crowd cried: “I bid a thousand dollars!\ All turned to see who was the new bidder, and a man with grizay gray hatr and beard stepped forward, No one scemed to know him, and Don plated with feelings he conid not de scribe “the old battlefields of Syrin, densely covered with blood red pop } ples, blooming In barbaric splendor, | gloating on the gore of soldiers alain.” | However interesting the poppy may | be to men of science and to lovers of | the beautiful, it is yet more go to the This benutirel, weird, gold colored flower of goseamer | texture belongs to California aloue.

Foods and Appetite. In some good advice given in print by a physician the theory held Uy faddisis in special foods, warranted to perform marvels of health and restoration, i# exploded. “Don't.” says this writer, “Imagine that you can grow strong on foods that you dislike. letter fried ham and chocolate cake with a good appetite than a health cereal with wilk and disgust.” One would hesitate, perbaps, to fol low strictly the fried iam and choco late cake dictum to the letter, but it is undoubtedly true that at the moment many persons almost starve themselves because they have no appetite for the various so called health foods, which alone they fancy tley can eat. Above and beyond the choice of food is mod- eration in partaking of it and relish for what is eaten.—New York lost. ee The East and the West. A man from the west who was re cently visiting Maine fell into conver- sation with a quiet old farmer on a train. He was full of the greatness of the west and talked about the big farms and big crops of his particular section and wound up by saying, “I suppose you do manage to pick up a living on these little Maine farms.” The old Maine farmer smiled sadly and replied: “Yes, and a few years ago some of us invested money in your see- tion, and it is there yet. It was a per- manent investment, I guess.” The western man changed tbe con- yersation.—New York Tribuue, A Poison Without an Antidote.

All looked at Don’ Miguel for a de- ctston. “Go and bring it,” he said. The stranger left the house, and at once the silence was broken by a babel of voices expressing wonder os to who be was and whence he came, the men betting os to whether he would bring the money. The tavern was not far, and the stranger soon returned. The , guests opened n way before Lim to where Don Miguel was standing walt- ing with bis daughter and Clavergaro. The stranger paused, and Don Miguel asked: “Where is thé money?” “It la coming, senor.” “Do. you require assistance to #arry bank bille?7’ “It Is gold, senor.” Two wservants- came fhrough the crowd, each bearing a number of bags,. whieb they deposited before Don Mi guel. The stranger opened oue of the bags and, thrusting iv bis hand, drew it out full of gold dast. “What impudence,” exclaimed Cla- vergaro, “to attempt to palm off brass filings for gold!” “You, Sevor Claverraro,” replied Don Miguel, “who come from the far south, are not used to this kind of money. which bas minde ita way among ua since the gold discoveries In Califor- nia. Perhaps the stranger is one of those men’ who have suddenly miade money in the mines. Who are you, tenor?” The stranger-pulied off a wig and beard. “I am Juan Estrella,’ be said. There were suppressed-expressions of wondcr among the guests, aud Don- ra Maria trembled, “I did not know what I should find here,” continued Juan, looking at Ma- tia. “Therefore I preferred not to be known. till | should discover what had occurred in my absence. If your daugh- ter is unmarried nud you still are In- clined to marry her to the wealthiest suitor, I am rendy to show my hand with the others.” Juan was indeed one cf the gold kings who sprang up at the time so- suddenly in California and was worth many times the sum ‘he gave to the poor for the privilege of dancing with his sweetheart.
