2. Kendall, Montana, April 29, 1902. THE MOTIVES OF MISERS. Fear of Possible Poverty the One That More Often Makes Itself Manifest. The case of a man who died from personal privations with 2,000 hoard- ed pounds within reach of his skele- ton fingers inspires a moralizing mood concerning the motives of misers, says the London Globe. The one that strikes us as reaching the nearest to the truth is the hypothesis of fear—fear of extreme poverty, to avoid which at some indefinite future time the miser faces all its conse- quences in the present. The gibe of the old laborer, who said to his master: \I be a braver man than you be, for I durst spend my last farden, and you dursent,\ is qffolect as af- fording the best hint of the real truth. When once the mind conceives the idea of possible poverty there is scarcely anything it will not do to avert the horrible contingency. Men in battle, as our contemporary re- minds us, have been known to shoot themselves in the dread fear of being shot by the advancing enemy. Fear in money matters, as in all other, paralyzes the judgment and shakes the reason. Misers are 1)robably in all other respects the purest and most moral of men; they are at any rate as rigorous in their asceticism as monk and friar. But such is the force of this vice that it destroys by its own strong arm all the higher emotions and aspirations of human- ity, leaving its victim a miserable and negative creature, beneath the contempt of his weaker brethren. CRUSADE ON GIFT -GIVING. Extravagance in P t• Has Stave - rd London Positional,les on Reform Movement. The oppressive social tax of wed- ding presents hats been brought prominently under notice by Lady Helen Stewart's phenomenal record, says a recent report from London. She received 728 presents, the esti- mated aggregate value of which is $750,000. About • half the presents were given by friends, the other half by people either anxious to adver- tise their acquaintarice with the .Londonderry family or t secure a place on the Londonderri visiting list. In more than 100 instances in which pushing snobbishness was clearly the motive in giving it is said that the gifts were returned with a polite intimation that the bride elect did not feel justified in trespassing on the donor's good nature. The rap- idly growing ostentatilan of wedding gifts amounts to a hrious annual charge - Upon the resources Of even' the wealthy and aristocratic fam- ilies, for the offering of a simple memento now is assigned to stingi- ness. A self -protective association is being started in the highest circles to set the fashion for less extrava- gant gifts. SPEED IN TYPEWRITING. — „ The Humber of Words That the Aver- age Operator Takes Down in the Ctiarse of an Hoar. An expert amenuenais and type- writist. such as are as a rule em- ployed by first-class business houses, v.ill take from dictation (stenographic notes) and transcribe on the type- ss riter all the way from 100 to 150 let- ters a day, averaging about 100 words per letter, by which calculation he will write from 10,000 to 15,000 words per day, which in almost all cases he will be obliged to do within seven or eight w (irking hours. Taking mat- ter on the machine from dictation (direct), howl' er, is a different prop- osition, says an authority, an expert typewritist working by this method being able to average from 3,00 to 3,500 words per hour for a stretch of eight hours. Of course his first hour will naturally be his best, in which he will be able to \bat out\ something like 4,000 to possibly 5.500 words. A fair average when transcribed from manu- script or notes is 2.000 words per hour. Judith Basin Bank Lewistown, Mont. Incorporated Under the Laws of. Montana.
