Now light is being thrown on the early history of Montana day by day , for the mak ing of history and the recording of It In times when there were no newsropers nnd when the rush for gold left llttlo tlmo for attention then to the doslres of generations to como were altogether different mattcia. Just now , relates the Helena Indebendent , there is In Helena a man who did more , perhaps , to ad vance the early community In a social way than any other man who came to the terri tory. Ho Is General Hod D. Laggat of Untie and the distinction ho earned In these days of struggling for goli } and of sordid barter and trade was the plonecrshlp In the Importation of counterpanes Into the new country. In the beginning of the history of the territory there wore few of the llttlo comforts of homo that make the difference between a cabin and a house. The huts of the seekers for the golden fleece wore rude affairs and their Interior arrangements did not bespeak a taste for articles of vertu. The minds of men then were warped by the prevailing sentiment and the Introduction of the' ' counterpane , while it was not In itself a seemingly Important event at that time , was really the beginning of an epoch. White tablecloths nnd napkins and lace curtains followed B a matter of course whan the dormant 'finer ' feelings of the people had been awakened from their luthargy by the Introduction of .the counterpane , and It can bo said wlthout'O.vnggcratlon that the day when the first ono was disposed of was the beginning of the .period , that now llmls the horqea of the people of the Treasure state is comfortably appointed and as artistically ar ranged as the homes of-any people In the land. Such Is the moving force -of a llttlo thing In history and cf the Importance of llttlo things many a volume has been written by profound students of sociology. General Leggat built the first building on what Is now Rodney street , in Helena. It was in the spring ot 1SG5 , when there was no Hojney street and the city Itself was located far below what la now that avenue In Last Chance gulch. He had 'brought ' to the terri tory from St. Louis a large stock of staple merchandise , and after unloading It at Fort Benton had come on ahead , while the ox teams plodded over the trail , to arrarge for Its disposition hero , anticipating that if ho would lay It by there would come a day when there would bo a large demand for it , In which ho was subsequently not dleap- po'mted. Ho found the storage rates were $4.50 a ton a month , and as ho had 100 tons of goods it was a considerable item. There were with him several Michigan men who know a thing or two tibout log houses and tholr construction , and he furnished them with oxen and had them build on the corner of Hodney street and Fifth avenue , opposite on Rodney street the present place of busi ness of William J. Dlngce , a large log struc ture , where ho stored his stock , building a tent for himself and his men. The tent was comfortably arranged with clean , whlto walls and a now paulln on the floor , acid after It had been done General Leggat bethought himself of the counterpanes In the ware house So he procured three , and they were placed cm the bunks within. The weather was warm and the tent flap was open. It was not long before that lo cality , remote ao It was , began to bo the center of attraction for many of the women who then lived hero end who sadly missed many of the llttlo comforts they had boon accustomed to In their homes across the Plains. The counterpanes were the objects of their curiosity , It soon afterward devel oped , and those an the bunks In the llttlo tent were the foundation of moro business than many a lavish window display would bo In the modern store of today. Mrs. James King , who was ono of the first women to llvo in Helena , some time after ward received as a gift the first counterpane ever taken out of the stock. Requests for more came rapidly , and thej were taken out of the warerooms and placed on sale. Sev eral hundred were promptly disposed of at a profit , and the demand did not cease even when the last one had ibecn sold , for the news had gene abroad and the orders were by no means confined to tlio camp Itself. Cure of Children. Dealing with one's children , certainly she Is the \vlsu mother who knows when to be conveniently blind , ' says an experienced mother. There can bo no hard and fixed laws In regard to tHe management of llttlo ones without doing them a cruel Injustice. Sometimes a child 1 * sick , nervous , unstrung , and the fault that at another tlmo might bo punished should bo Ignored. Indeed , ono Is tempted to say that too much management , too many itiles , a.-continual reminding of llttlo breaches of maiinor or grammar , Is worse than no niajiast'ment at all. Thcro has always been.a fistful rathca In the btory of the little Uoy who thought his name wan "Johnny Don'.t , " "Hut that Is Impossi ble , " urged some otip. , "It Is what they eall mo at home , " persisted the llttlo fellow , In good faith. Perhaps this kindly cultivated virtue of Timely 'blindness Is only another name for tact. It Ignores all that Is un pleasant , and wis lv judges of the ap propriateness of tfrnq and epason. When we como homo tlredr nnd worn , It Is blind to the fact that wo 'haro ' thrown ourselves on iho b n sofa and 'deposited ' our hat on the floor. When wo are absorbed with grief or worry , It does not see the brusquenoga with which wo may have answered a question. HcrloiiH Klrt * In I'ommylvuulit TIMVII. KITTANNINO.
