Garaeld,s Respect for Hancock.

Gen. Garfield came into my studio upon
my invitation one morning wearing a soft
hat and smoking an enormous cigar. He
tossed the hat on a chair and placing the
cigar on the mantel said he was ready to
begin operations. He was a very easy sub
ject to photograph. He spent some min
utes in examining the pictures on the
walls, until finally he came to a portrait
of Gen. Hancock that I had just finished.
I should have said before that Garfield had
not yet been elected president; in fact at
the time l mention the nomination had not
been made more than one week.
He liked the picture Of Hancock, and
turning to me in a familiar way said that
he should be pleased to have one for his
own study table, for he admired the man
in many ways. Iplaced n Of Hancock's
pictures in the package Of photographs
that l sent to Mentor, and during the cam
paign the two pictures stood side by side
on the m%antelpiece in Garield's home.
Such was the tribute that a manly man
paid to his opponent.-A. Bogardus in
Ladies' Home Journal.

Murder Over a Pony.

-. Lawn -u
Officers from Emmons county arrived
in the city yesterday in pursuit Of William
Carmichael, an 18-year-old boy, for the
muxier of John Bockhouse, a farmer liv-
ing near Omio in that county. From one
of the officers it is learned that last Friday
young Carmichael went to the house OF
Bockhouse to get his pony which was In q
corral there. Bockhouse refused to give
up the pony until the expense of keeping
was paid. This made Carmichael angry
and going to a neighbor about two miles
distant lie borrowed a Winchester rifle,
saying he wished to kill some deer. He
also asked for ammunition, and was told
the magazine contained six rounds. He
said that was enough ammunition and went
away. Instead of going after deer, he re-
turned to the corral, and finding no one
there, opened it and took out his pony.
Bockhouse reached home shortly after the
lads departure, and noticing the absence
of the pony Immediately started on a hunt
for it. After travelling a couple Of miles
he overlook Carmichael, who wa riding
on a wagon with two other men. Book
house ordered the men to stop and give up
the pony, Which was hitched to the rear of
the wagon. The boy warned him off,
but no heed was given the warning.
Carmichael then said: "lf you don't stay
away, Ill fix you," and, pulling up the
gun, he fired at Bockhouse, the ball strik-
ing him in the neck just below and a little
back of the ear, coming out on the oppo-
site side. The unfortunate man dropped
dead and Carmichael, after viewing the
body a few moments, mounted the pony
and rode away. When last seen he was
going in the direction of Steele, a town
about fifty miles to the northeast. Parties
in the city yesterday who know the boy
say he was inclined to be a little wild, but
no one dreamed that he would be rash
enough to commit murder. Circulars have
been sent to all points in the state, with
his description. He is about Is years old,
tail and slender, light complexion, has a
prominent nose and large feet. 1t
was stated after the inquest that Book
house and Carmichael had an alteration
over the pony at the time of the first visit
to the corral and that Bockhoue slapped
Carmichael in the face. UP to the present
time 10 trace of the murderer has been
found.

Another State Capital Fight.

SSoS 0~FA
GUTHRIE, Oct. 16.-After a four days
truce, the capital location was resumed
to-day in the territorial legislature. A
bill was introduced in both houses to
locate the seat of government at King
fisher. It was supported by the King
fisher delegates, who had warm allies in
the representatives from Oklahoma City,
whose bill the governor recently vetoed.
The Kingfsher bill was rushed through
to it's third reading before the Guthrie
representatives Rrasped the situation.
Then a scene of tumult and uproar u
sued, which finally subsidized. The Guth.
RE delegates resorted to flibustering and

bitter feeling exists. It is generally e
pected that a conflict between the oppos-
ing factions will occur before an ad.
journment can be had. The session will

Teach Them to stand Alone.

Society is much infested with adult
babies who cannot, Or will not, stand alone.
These weaklings are decidedly more troub-
lesome than the little toddlers whostagger
from chair to chair in their first attempts
at unassisted locomotion. The grown up
infant makes no effort to support himself.
He insists upon always having hold Of
somebody's hand, and IL he has nothing to
cling to or to lean against he lies down
and gives up. There are few energetic,
prosperous men who are not embarrassed
with one Or more of these dead weights.
The best service that any man to whom
they attached themselves can render them
is to-shake them of, providing them, Il
possible, with an opportunity to exercise
whatever ability, whether Of the head o
the hand, they may possess. There are In
dolent, irresolute men who can be taught
to stand alone. But he who il incapable
of making any effort by which success can
be achieved is a hopeless case. He Is Q
mere "cumberer Of the ground, IN with-
out value in society.-New York Ledaar.
