only to themselves, and left the stranger
to the mercies of the butler. Imagine any
thing like that with us! Imagine our neg
lecting a guest to that extent-and an En-
glishman, too! We might not like him, and
would find him probably a trifie obtuse, but
we would not let him see 1t, and we would
at least throw him "A word now and again,

might not be that we intended to read his
book, or cared whether he shot moose or
himself, but as long as he was our guest we
would try to make him feel that we did not
consider our responsibility was at an end
when we gave him his bread and butter.
But the average Englishnan and English
woman does not feel this responsibility. /
remember a dinner given in New York last
winter TO a prominent Englishman who was
visiting this country, and there happened TO

BILE who were good after-dinner takers, and
not after-dinner story tellers. which Is a.
vastly different thing. The Engllshman
contribution to the evenings entertainment
was n succession OF stories which he had
heard on this ide, and which he told very
badly. The Americans were quite able TO
Judge OF this, as they had told the stories
themselves many different times. But they
all listened with the most serious or amused
interest, and greeted each story with the
proper amount of laughter. and by saying,
'How very good!' and quite delightful

The rapidlty with which the different 70.
bras have been exterminlted, owing 20 the
advance Of civilization In South Africa, Is

OF Sir CORVALLIS Harris, written I'm 1910. In

a FARO DEBT REPUDiATED.
Hut the United States Court I'm Mon
tana Rules Otherwise.

Helena (Mont.) Independent.
There was an interesting case tried before
Judge Knowles, OF the United States Court,
without a jury, and the decision was even
more interesting. The case was that of w.
"A. Simon and Isaac Abernethey, OF Mis-
soula, against h. G. Cove, of Spokane. 1t
was in evidence that the plaintiffs ran "a
gambling house and saloon at Missoula, ST.
mon dealing faro. while Abernethey attend
ed to the other business. Cove, the evidence
was, went into the place, played faro and
lost. Then he went TO Abernethey, and,
drawing his check for $1,000. got the money
from Abernethey, and, going back 10 the
gambling table, lost that also. Going again
10 Abernethey, VINO was I'm the Office, he
drew another check for $4,000 and got the
money on It. The testimony Of the plaintiffs
was that he only lost about $1,000 OF this
last 5000 at the faro table. When the
checks were presented for payment IL was
found that Cove had stopped payment. Cove
was not present at the trial. When all the
evidence was in Judge Knowles said:
I'm the first place, the answer denied that
the defendant received any money. 1t Is APP
parent from the evidence that he did. 1t is
now claimed that, Notwithstanding he re-
ceived the money, Ii cannot be recovered
back from him, because IL was loaned TO
him TO gamble with. Ii is admitted that
money loaned for n purpose immoral or
prohibited by law cannot be recovered in a
suit In court. But / do not think that a faro
game comes within the rule thus laid down.
II the money had been loaned to facilitate
counterfeiting, with the knowledge OF the
lender. IL undoubtedly could not be recov-
cred. And the class of immoral purpose that
renders q loan void | do not think would
include what Is known as a faro bank. But.
at all events, IL was not stipulated that the
money paid to defendant on his checks
should be used for gambling purposes.
Plaintiff Abernethey may have thought he
was going TO use 1t for that purpose. but
IL does not appear that Abernethey knew
IL. Cove could have used IL for that purpose
or not, as he saw fit. He could have done
what ne had 4 mind TO with il. Under these
circumstance. | think the plaintiff is end-
tied TO recover"

WANTS A CROP Z
Secretary Kennedy Wants an Adjunct
to the Agricultural Bureau.

Secretary Kennedy. of the State Board
OF Agriculture. in his annual report, will
strongly advocate the establishment of a
statistical bureau in connection with his
Office. His idea is to issue a crop bulletin
monthly or s~emi-mcnthly from the office,
as the demand for agricultural statistics
is growing from year TO year. AS it is, APP
plicants for such Information must be re-
ferred to the bureau of statistics, which
collects and issues a report only biennially.
He estimates that a legislative appropri-
alton of $500 would be sufficient to conduct
this bureau, and that the Information to
the farming and business community would
be of great value.
The contest in this district for represen-
tation on the board promises to be a warm
one. Hiram Rowland, the sitting member,
is a candidate for reelection. He will be
opposed by w. b. Holton, of the firm of
Bradley. Holton & Co, of this city. who
is being pushed by the Board of Trade, of
which he is a member Cal Darnell, also
OF this city, and G.. W. Stanton of Green
wood. are candidates. and some lively
hustling is going on for the place.

are produced by lavas containing SO little

Dana has pointed out, resemble them more
closely than do those of ordinary volca-

GIBSON'S QUEER ACTS
Manager of the Plymouth Rock

Several Hundred Dollars.

John r. Gibson, local manager OF the
Plymouth Rock Pants Company. was seek
ing for some one to cut his throat yester-
day evening. His desire to sever the span
of life was inspired by an enforced stay
in a cell at police headquarters. Gibson is
a young man OF excellent business quail
fications, IL Ia said. but possesses an appe-
lite for liquor. Friday night he was found
near the corner Of Washington and Noble
streets. very drunk. He was arrested, and
when searched n revolver was found In
his pocket. In Police Court yesterday the
charge of intoxication and OF carrying con-
cealed weapons was placed against him,
but he advanced "A reasonable excuse for
the presence OF the pistol. and this charge
was withdrawn.
His fine OF SIS for drunkenness he ex-
pressed n Willingness to settle. and drew
up n check for the amount on the State
Bank Clerk Nixon by telephone found
that tho prisoners account with the bank
amounted to sli.59. The clerk was willing
10 let II 30 at that. and the prisoner was
discharged. \ short time later the clerk
vent TO the bank and found that Gibson
had drawn every dollar OF his deposit. An
order was issued for his arrest. and late
yesterday evening he was found by Ser
geant Dawson. lie was locked mp on the
original charge. He was slightly under the
influence OF liquor. and ohafed smartly un-
der the confinement
About 3 o'clock he was turned Into the
corridor. and approached one OF the pris-
oners with the remark: please take this
knife and cut my throat" lie held n

The arrest OF Gibson. II seems, has re-
lieved his employers OF an embarrassing
position. Two days ago w. 6. Proudly.

Boston. and began to investigate the
agents affairs. He now claims that the lat

though his arrest was desired. a charge
could not be brought against him until the
books had been gone over. Yesterday even
ing Auditor Proudly Informed the superln-
tcn1ent OF police that Gibsor's shortage
would probably amount TO 500. Later he
said that he could not estimate the amount.
Gibson Will be accused or embeZ2lement

that he desired TO Kill himself. II Is COM
