Did You ever notice how some men
will walk up and down the floor when
they are trying to convey the impression
that their brain is on the rampage?
They strike a line across the floor from
corner TO corner, pull lock of hair over
the forehead, jam their hands into their
pockets and commence their march and
their talk If there Is any one to listen.

q RlEEAIO EIINT

CHEYENNE, Wyo., Oct. l3-Acting Gov
eruor Meldrum has received letter from
the interior department asking about the
whereabouts of "A herd of seventy buifalos
that escaped from the Yellowstone MI
tional park several weeks ago. The miss
ing herd has been seen several times in
the Big Horn region and is now thought
TO be ranging in the Red Desert between
Rawlins and the Shoshone Indian reserva-
tion. A big party of hunters went out To
attempt the capture of the herd last
week. The state officers expect TO
organize under the direction of the
interior department an expedition TO round
up the herd and drive it back 10 the park
reservation. If this is done it will afford
magnificent sport. as the route over
which the herd must be driven to the
reservation and through Big Horn and
Wind river valleys and across two noun
tain ranges is through country impass-
able except TO riding and pack animals
Wyoming laws prohibit the killing Of
buffalo under a heavy penalty, but it is
,eared that the herd may be discovered by
some of the rowing hunting parties Of
Indians, who will have no scruples about
killing all they can. This herd is said to
contain the only bisons in the United
States in a wild condition.

Valuable sand Lots.

Accident in making what afterward
turn out to be good investments is always
favorite theme for discussion. An in
stance was cited where young man
went to Tacoma on a flying visit in the
early days of the place, when the prin-
cipal part of the town was its name.
He was there only few hours, but in
that time was induced to buy several
lots for almost nothing. Those lots
made fortune for him so suddenly that
he could hardly realize that it could be
possible.
Mark Sheldon, the wealthy real estate
owner of San Francisco, made his fort
une out of bad debt. He had grown
rich and poor in several ventures, and
when hard pressed once tried 10 collect
all the money that was due him. One
debtor was unable TO give him a cent,
but compromised his debt by handing
over TO Mr.. Sheldon some sand lots iD
what is now Market street, San Fran
cisco.
Sand lots were not very valuable in
those days, and Mr. Sheldon found no
opportunity to dispose Of his until he
saw that he might make pretty sum Of
them. So he held on to them, and there
is no more valuable real estate in the
Golden Gate city today than Mark Shell
don's Market street property.-New

WHY GRANT WAS GREAT.
Due Recognition When True Merit is Once
Established.

Was Grant a great general?-conceded.
What made him so?
When L. 5. Grant was hauling cord
wood into St. Louis his neighbors did not
imagine he would become the most famous
man of his generation. When be was
managing the little tannery. IN Galena no
one of his intimates recognized In him
future hero But be displayed qualities
which should have satisfied them he was
no common man. What was there about
him?
If You start to build a single
story shaDty you pay little attention
to the foundations, you may lay

the building will fall But if you propose
erecting a ten-story block, your architect
will tell you you must go TO the rock Tor
the basis of your foundation, or the stately
structure is liable to tumble about your
ears.
The foundation of a great man is moral
force-character; this is the rock founda-
ti0n. The shiftless man lacks it; he never
succeeds. Grant never used an oath-a
sure indication of moral character. he
never told, or listened 10, if he could help
it, a vulgar story: this showed peculiar
moral FIBRE an unusual strength of char
acter. He was a man of oplnlons-as his
wife said was obstinate; in other words,
ne had Will power, force.
These qualities, with good Judgment,
well balanced mental powers, and peculiar
military education. fitted him for
the emergency, wnen it came. As
soon as his merits became known
success was assured. This is always the
case, with things as with men. i well

Not the least among the various Of
fenses that meet the eye, and seldom
with any palliating incidents, are the
signs of all kinds that disfgure most OF
the buildings in the business districts.
A plain signboard, giving the name or
the company or individual proprietor
and the nature Of the business. is unob-
jectionable, however large, if set up
against the wall, over the entrance or at
the Threshold. The largest concerns in
the city have, however, abandoned even
these, and are content TO use a small
metal plate for their names.
But the popular idea in signs seems TO
run to as great display as possible, and
in its indulgence taste and safety are
sacrificed. What can be more hideous
than those great arial wire structures
that project from the tops Of buildings
or are hung across the streets? They are
dangerous, too, as experience has shown.
Then there are those dazzling monstrosi-
ties which, in colored glass, call the at
tention of the paSserby 10 the game Of
billiards and other pastimes. Some Of
the porticos which project over the
whole sidewalk are utilized for similR
purposes.
Exaggerated hats, bonnets, clocks,
mortars, saws and other symbols of the
merchandise for sale within the stores
haunt before the gaze at every turn.
Most of these are illegal, as the law al
lows but three feet nearest the building
for the display Of signs and merchandise,
and this Is availed in many trades for
the profit it will bring, not only TO them
selves, but in some cases by compensa-
ton from fruit venders or other small
trades not connected with the regular
cunations.-America

LEAVENWORTH REPUBLICANS.

LEAVENwORTH, Kan, Oct. l3.-The Re
publican county convention met at noon
today at the court house and organized,
electing Joseph Blakely, radical Repub
lican, permanent chairman. The commit
tee on platform reported a series of strong
resolutions endorsing ingalls,, Humphrey
and Frederick The introduction of the
resolutions caused long and interesting
discussion which resulted in the defeat of
all the resolutions by a vote Of more
than ten to one. A resolution was
adopted endorsing Amos. A. Penn for
representative in the Seventh district, and
also endorsing ID. r. Anthony for repre-
sentative in the Sixth district. IL is re-
markable fact that in the north half of the
city of LeavenwOrth, which comprises the
Seventy-iifth district, the Republicans
voted solidly without an opposing vote for
ID. r. Anthony. The convention nomi-
mated A. r. Callahan for county attorney,
Laugham for CLERK OF the court. w. O.
Gould for Judge of probate, Miss Heuder
son for superndeut OF schools. anu Glrd

THE LEAGUE AND PLAYERS.

PITTsBURG, Pa, Oct. 13.-The first meet
ing of the Players and National League
representatives to form a combine resulted
in a draw President Mimick and j.
Palmer O'Neill represented the old league
and President William McCallin and Sec
retary Brunnell, embodied the authority
of the Players club. AS the first step to a
combine the National League representa-
tives handed in a statement of assets TO be
paid for in an equivalent in stock in the
new concern. Among these assets were 81
coo blown in on Rowe and White, a like
sum on Dunlap, one OF whom
is now in the club, also
round sum paid for men who are now with
the Players club The Players demanded
that the old league grounds and men and
available assets be considered, and the old
league managers retorted with a statement
of what had been lost during the past
season. A halt in negotiations was called
here and ali hands decided To adjourn un-
til Saturday, hoping TO hear from the New
York meeting in the meanwhile. Presi-
dent O'Neil of the Nationals, says the only
question that separates the two clubs is
that OF price and they will surely come to
that at the next meeting.
