2. Kendall, Montana, June 21 V, 01 INTRIGUE FOR AN ESTATE. Polish Countess Charged with Sub- stituting C.hild Which She Claims as Her Own. A sensation has been caused among the Polish and German nobility by the arrest of Countess Isabella We isierska Kvvileski, wife of a great Polish mag- nate, on the charge of substituting a child as her own for the purpose of securing for her family an estate of 18,000 acres. The story reads like an old-fashioned romance. The incidents were first made public in 1896, when the countess claithed that she had borne a male child. She was then 50 years old, and had not borne a child for 17 years. The remarkable, though not impossible, oecurence excited the suspicion of Count Mirjislaw Kwileski, a member of the upper house of the Prussian 3iet, and the head of a collateral branch of the family, which, in the event of the countess and her husband (lying without a son, would have in- herited the estate. When the child was four years old Count Mirjislaw thought he had ob- tained sufficient evidence to prove the substitution. He brought a civil ac- tion to set aside the boy's rights, and lost the case. This was two years ago. He continued to gather evidence, which is now abundant enough to have Induced the police to arrest the coun- tess, the charge against her being sub- stitution for the sake of gain, to which a penalty of ten years' penal servi- tude attaches. The trial will take place in Berlin. Two hundred wit- nesses have been subpoenaed. Both branches of the family have many friends in exalted circles, and the case has caused great excitement among them. BOTTLE BRINGS HUSBAND.

Architectural Oddities Which Have `Come to Prevail on Scottish Estates. \Round houses\ are the latest fad in architecture in England. For cheap- ness, warmth and g-neral utility, a residence of the \round -house\ variety is greatly to be preferred to the ordi- nary regular.struct ore. Such a house has been built for Mr. Barber Starkey at Knock Shanneek, in Scotland. to be used as a shooting lodge. in appearance it is by no means ugly, is embellished with bay windows, and covered porches, and is a most comfortable dwelling. Mr. Starkey's house is two -storied, and the . center hall has a gallery around it giving access to the bedroom. The roof is conical, and is surrounded by a lantern which givek light to the hall. Kitchens. stables, etc., are built on the same plan. PLEASES ROOSEVELT. President Sends Autograph Picture to One of Quadruplets at Toledo Named After BIM. A letter and autograph was received by Mayor Jones the other day from President Roosevelt.

Mistake of a Society Leader 'Paken for the Real Thing by Am- bitious gmulatoris. That the advice, \Watch how others do and then die likewise,\ is not always good to social aspirants, was illus- trated the other evening at a dinner given by a 3 oung matron in honor of guest of acknowledged social stand- ing, relates the Chicago Tribune. When coffee was served. and with it the indispensable chocolate mints, the guest was seen to ta!te one of the sweets and Icy with it gracefully over her coffee cup. Instnntly every wom- an at the table did likes ise. Evidently some new wrinkle of fashion WAS abovki to be exhibited. Every eye was on lip guest and rn the mint drop. Determin- ation to follow the leader and give no sign that they v ere not in the habit cif doing this new trick every day waff• written on every face. The sudden calm caused the guest to look up. and as she did so she inadvertently dropped her mint into the tiny cup. To her sur- prise a series of clinks ran around the table as each of the rural ones followed her -mistake. Appreciating the situation, the guest hastily gulped down her coffee to hide her mirth. Later in the evening she heard one woman remark to another: \I don't cav if it is swell, I don't like mint in my coffee.\ \Oh dear.\ replied the other, loftily, \it is really delicious. I never think of taking my demitasse without it.\ THE ' COUNTRY NEGRO. Some of Otte Advantages He Enjoys Which Ace Denied to His City Brother. The average city. negro grown up In the shade. He is completely over- shadowed by his overtowering envi- ronment. As one walks along the , streets of our great cities and views the massive buildings and sky -seek• lag structures, he finds no status for the negro above the cellar floor. The city negro of education and culture is. forced into menial employment bd-. cause higher forms of occupation are preempted by the 'more favored class. There are a dozen competitors - for every dollar in sight, and in the great majority of cases, the negro is handicapped by his color, says the Southern Workman. The country negro, on the con- trary, Is on terms . of equality with his envirorunent. He is not con- fronted by suggestions of inequality at every turn. Nature is a mother who is equally kind and beneficent • to all of her children. /An acre of ground will yield as much for the black as for the white tiller. The markets are colorblind. No one in- quires into the color of the producer of the best produce in the market, except as a matter of idle curiosity. No labor organization has yet placed a boycott upon negro farm labor. The farm offers for the negro the only really unhampered field which Is open to him on an unlimited scale CHOICE BUSINESS RESIDENCE • AND LOTS SALE . FOR Kendall Investment Co.
