the subject of wager at Boston. His
backer bet large sum that the Sailor
KID would travel from the Hub to San
Francisco and return in the space Of
twenty-one days without spending cent
for railway fare or food. The feat was ac-
complished, and the sport who risked his
money On the tramp presented him the
other evening with $500 of the winnings.
Becker now offers 90 venture this sum
the most money he ever had in his life-on
the proposition that he can beat his way
around the world under the same condi-
tions as those of his transcontinental trip
in 102 days. Meanwhile he basks in the
homage of his ragged subjects, who declare
that der king can't be downed by any
man wot works der road!''
1t may be interesting to note how this
lad. not yet 20 years old, has solved the
problem of living without labor and gained
the names by which he is known. He was
born in Demerara, British Guiana, and
was christened Wilson Becker. At the age
of 9 he ran away. Working on the SYM
pathy of sailors by romantic but untruth-
ful tales Of woe he made voyages to Cal
cutta, Hong Kong, Honolulu and England.

One custom Is common to the million
aire and the tramp. Each Is denizen OF
the city during the winter and seeks the
country tn the summer. But while the
farmer welcomes the one the other Is an
object of aversion and distrust, save per-
haps In hsy1ng or harvest time, when. for
large compensation, the knight OF the road
may be induced TO do little work.
It is estimated, by King Wilson |, that he
has 50, 900 subjects throughout the United
States. He doesn't comprise in this num-
Der the honest poor who are looking for
employment. or the capitalistic gypsies who
own horses and wagons and journey from
place TO place tinkering broken pots and
pans, making sharp trades and devastating
hen roosts and melon patches. His heges
are those only who don't have to work"
and who would flee a wood pile or job
quicker than they would pest house. The
ever present nuisance Of this great army
of leeches has become so intolerable that
many states carry on their statute books
laws that might seem harsh and unreason-
able to the theoretic philanthropist, but
which with all their severity seem to avail
little Ii checking the growing evil Of vol
untary i6leness
A pictorial suggestion along this line is
offered herewith. The idea intended to be
conveyed TO the agriculturist is that he
shall not turn the hungry wanderer away
upfed, but that under mild coercion he
shall force him to work for his supper and
bunk in the baymow.

CALAMITY James adventures.

Bushels Of chills and fever literature
have been written about Calamity Jane, -"
said Cassius Reynolds, Wyoming ranch
owner, in the Palmer house, "but true
story of her has never been given to the
world. These stories reflected upon her
character, when, as a matter of fact, she
was good and brave woman. l saw her
at Rock Spriags, Wy, where she is now
living. Her name is Jane Steers. She
was the best known person in the west in
the 70's. She carried military messages
for Custer in the Big Horn country, where
the savages were so thick that a white
man dared not enter the basin. She dressed
like man, always wearing a buckskin
suit. She could ride any horse that ever
bucked and never heard of the word fear
After Gen. Custer was killed she went TO
the Black Hills and was the first white
woman to enter Deadwood. When Wild
Biz was dying she tenderly nursed him.
When the Indians and outlaws were driv-
en- away from the Black Hills she drifted
from place TO place and finally located at

Wis

WEST SUPERIOR, Wis, July "a seri-
ers occurred here today. About 200 of the
strikers appeared in the main streets this
morning and proceeded to the work on
Twelfth street, where about forty men were
employed. The strikers rushed
upon them and "a fight en-
sued. Contractor Sutton cut one
man on the arm with a shovel. The
strikers chased Sutton to his house three
blocks, beating him with clubs.
Later in the day the mob arrived at the
American stone barge works where they

After dinner another attempt was made to
force the work. Contractor Anderson
shot one man in the head the
bullet glanCing and hitting another
man in the left arm. The strikers then
charged, but Anderson held his ground
with drawn revolvers while the mob
threw bricks and clubs and anything they
could lay their hands upon. When Mayor
Patterson and a force of special police ar
rived on the grounds, the strikers were
wild for AndersOn'S life. Mr.. An
dersOn was taken away and con-
cealed in the second story of the
carpenter shop. The strikers soon learned
that he was concealed about the premises
and hunt ensued. BY means of the lad
ders the men climbed up and found him,
but Mayor Patterson quieted the crowd by
appointing n committee of strikers and q
crowd of policemen to see Anderson to the
city hall.
Tonight fifty well-known citizens have
been sworn as special policemen.

NO LAND ON WHICH THE SUN SHINES

Possesses greater natural advantages than
our own, but there are portions of the
great grain bearing west and fertile sonth,
where atmospheric influences prejudicial
to health initiate against them, in some
degree as places of residences. Heavy
rainfalls and the overflow of great rivers,
which, upon their subsistence leave dank
vegetation exposed to the rays of the sun,
there beget malarial fevers, and the inhab-
itants are periodically obliged to use some
medicinal safeguard against the scourge.
The most popular is Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters, preventive that has for over a
third of a century afforded reliable protec-
ton to those whom experience in the fu
tility of ordinary remedies for fever and
ague, has taught TO substitute for them.
Whether intermittent or remittent, mias-
matte fevers are conquered and averted by
this superb anti-periodic and fOrtifying
medicine as they are by no other prepara-
tion in use. Use it, and abandon impure
local bitters.
