giving Wednesday and Thursday, to
the democrats and republicans respect
ively, and
Whereas, Tuesday is not a satisfac

division of time on Thursday to discuss

FROM MIKE TO MR. MICHAEL,
An Irishman Got u Million Dollars and
Knew What to Do With It.
The story of Monto Cristo is gen
erally regarded as a highly improb
able piece of fiction," said a Montana
man, "but I have in mind tho case of
a miner in our state who comes very
near furnishing a parallel character.
About ten years ago I had in my em
ploy an Irishman, a clover, but to
tally uneducated fellow, who did odl
jobs about my place in Helena. You
remember what a feverish state that
country was in about that time over
tho rich finds in gold in tho country
adjacent. My Irishman caught the
fever, and one day astonished mo by
asking me to loan him $20D with
which ho wanted to buy a prospect
or's outfit. Well, the fellow begged
so hard, and money was easy any
how, so I let him have it. Ho bought
him a mulo and some tools and lit out
for the mountains alone.
"In about a month ho came back to
Helena with that mule fairly stagger
ing under a load of the richest of ore.
Ha hired three men, bought three
more mules, went back to the hills
and struck town shortly afterward
with four more mules lo -. ied as the
first one had been. A representative
of an English syndicate happened to
be in Helena about this time on the
lookout for raining investments. He
saw tho Irishman's little pack train,
took a sample of the ore, had it as
sayed, went out and examined tho
claim, and thon made tho Irishman a
proposition that mighty near scared
him to death. I was in my o3ice at
the time, when in burst Mike in a
state of terrible excitement.
" 'What do you think, sor, I'm of
fered for me claim?' he gasped. One
million dollars and twinty-foive per
cent of tho net profits.'
"Of course I told him to sell, which
he did. It proved a good investment
for all concerned, as the Englishmen
have taken millions of dollars out of
the mina
"But now comes my point Instead
of committing the usual follies that
poor men indulge in when they be
come suddenly very rich, Mike set
about to get the highest benefits of
his wealth. There lived in Helena
an English lady, widow of an English
officer, who was possessed of a high
degree of culture and refinement,
though in very needy circumstances.
Well sir, the first thing Mike did wa3
to go to this lady and bargain for an.
education. He placed himself abso
lutely under her dictation; lived in
tho same house, and she taught him
how to hold a knife and fork, how to
enter and leave a room. Then fol
lowed the rudiments of a literary edu
cation and a year or so of travel.
"I met my Irish laborer in the par
lor of a London hotel about six
months ago. You never saw a more
perfect gentleman in your life. He
has acquired a classical education, is
as easy and graceful in manners as a
courtier, and above all has the true
instincts of a man and a gentleman in
his heart. And could a man be any
thing but a gentleman who had evi
dently made it the dream of his life
k) be one at his first opportunity?''
