WASHINGTON, D. G., May 5.-An inter
esting story is current here about Mr..
Beck in the early days OF his life in Lex.
ington. He was always keen to take the
side OF the weak against the strong. On
one occasion he offered to thrash a
whole circus company, in the slavery
days, when, in circus, call was
made for volunteers to ride the
trick mule. Fifty dollars was Of.
fered to anybody who could stick
on. A little darkey came forward and
mounted the mules back. After going
around the ring "a few times the mule
began series Of tactics to dislodse his
rider. But the little darky stuck like
wax, and it soon became pretty plain
tnat the mule unaided could not get
him of. The ringmaster, thinking him
self safe in maltreating ffiendless ne
gro boy, came up and gave his colleague,
the mule several sharp cuts with his
whip that sentdarkey and mule rolling
over in the sawdust.
Mr. Beck saw the fraud. He Jumped
down from his seat, dashed into the
ring, and catching the ringmaster with a
very persuasive grip, administered some
Jacksonian language to him, and de-
manded the money for the boy. The
ringmaster showed fight. This was an
easy matter, but it did not look so easy
when the whole cilcus company took
sides with the ringmaster. The spccta.
tors Immediately sided With the man
who had championed the friendless little
darkey.7 The money was paid over to
the boy. n " n !
Among the pail bearers selected by
the family Of Mr.. Beck is Hon. VIM. 4.
Smith, Superintendent OF the Botanical
Gardens. The Senator and Mr.. Smith
were close friends. They were born
near each other in Scotland. Both
came here with only their,hands and en-.
ergy to make their way. Both have
risen to eminence in their different
lines Of effort. Mr. Beck has been one
OF the most steadfast friends OF the tree
and floral decoration OF Washington.
His impress upon the National Capital
in this respect, made through the assist.
ance he gave his friend, will last while
the city stands. With Mr.. Smith he
was engaged in perfecting an influential
organization of Scotchmen and Ameri.
cans for erecting monument in Wash.

Zone of the greatest terrors in the
oil regions, says an old time operator,
''is the man with the lantern. He has
been the cause of more needless con.
fagrations among oil wells than any
other thing, and has cost the region
millions of dollars. He is usually an
employee about tho wells, and nine
cases out of ten man Of experience
and intelligence, but he will persist in
taking the chances in paying visit
now and then TO some gas enveloped
tank, carrying his lighted lantern
with him. The result isn't always dis
astrous, but that isn't the fault of the
man with the lantern. Usually an
explosion results. If destructive
fire does not follow the explosion the
fact will be without precedent. Some.
times the cause of fire of this kind
will not be quite certain at first, but it
only needs roll call Of the employees
OF that particular property and the
taking Of an account Of the tool house
stock to ascertain the cause. There
will be one employe short, and the
number of lanterns will be less by
one. Then it is known that the mar
with the lantern has been walking.
He always disappears on occasions of
this kind, and instances are rare when
even piece Of his ear is ever found.
But he is not dead. The man with the
lantern never dies in the oil regions.
He will be sure to walk again not
long after he has disappeared, and
will continue TO walk at disastrous in
tervals as long as oil wells last."-
