A Famous Pistol,

Capt. VIM. P. Hogarty, OF Kansas
City, Kan, has in his possession an old
dueling pistol which was originally
owned by Josef Maria Graf Won Damn,
who was commander-in-chief of the
Austrian army during the Seven Years
War, and one Of Austrla's greatest
heroes. The pistol is in an excellent
state Of preservation, although 1t has
been little used since its owner in 1857
drove Frederick the Great from
Prague and forced him to evacuate Bo.
hemia.
Josef had two of these pistols, and
after his death one passed to each
branch of his family. William Theodore
Maria Won Damn, a grandson, who was
banishcd from Austria in lS4S, brought
one Of them to America, and before his
death ut Quindaro, few years ago,
he gave it to Capt. Hogarty. 1t is in.

very highly. He is himself something

The Cause or Poverty and Crime.


The liquor traffic is the cause of most
of the poverty in our country. This is
the testimony Of all who come in contact
with the poor. They all say that if the
poor would save what they spend in
drink, they would bevastly better off
than they are.
Where does most Of our crime come
from? From those who drink to excess.
Go to any OF our prisons and ask for the
history of the criminals there, and you
will tina that this is true. Nearly all Of
them will confess that, II it had not been
for drink, they would not be where they
are. Drink has led them into evil asso-
Citations, and this has produced the Oft
repeated results. Take away liquor, and
the vast majority Of our criminals would
be so no longer.
What Is the cause of most of the muir
ders? Again We reply with the same
word, drink. Men lnaame their passions
with strong drink, and then comes the
quarrel which is followed with murder.
l do not say hat all murderers are
drunkards. but i do say that the ma
jorlty OF such crimes are inetigated by
| alcohol.
Where liz any community will you find
the toughest specimens OF humanity !
In the saloon. There is where they
most naturally congregate, so that the
chances are nine out Of ten that II you
want to find any disreputable man you
will find him in the rum-shop. The sa-
loon is not the place where you look for
the best, but for the worst men n the
community.-Dr. Schautfier.

EngIish-American Trade.

If anyone knows Of day when
someone was not oelittling all real
effort to better our industrial pros
poets, he is to be credited with an
uncommon memory. 1t is a pleas
ant relief to turn from such folk to
hopeful view OF affairs. People easily
tire of looking continually on the
sour side. The state department at
Washington has printed summary
of our share in the worlds commerce.
1t is interesting to note that a
balance of 1926, 900, 900, the value
OF exports over imports, remained in
our hands at the end OF last years
business transactions. With posi-
bly, one or two exceptions, it is
equally interesting to note that
European nations paid US larger
sums than we paid them. England
led in the pleasant game with a
balance in our favor OF $425, 000,-
600. This is very well for land we
apparently dislike so cordially for
no special reason. Unfortunately
enough human nature is left us to
bank upon. Why not be done once
and for all with foolish and super
cilious notions about England, and
settle down to international rela-
tions productive OF best results?
Let's remember there may happen to
be few important distractions to
our own vision while we persistently
prod England about hers. 1t is by
no means proven that a decent
respect for the other strong points
may not exist between people OF kim
dred blood like the English Ameri-
cans. Honor and fair play might
seem under certain conditions to be
associated with trade. At all events,
let England and America pull to.
gether for the betterment of this
world. 1t seems to be mutual
affair.

New r1exicO's Prospects.

DR.. H. S. Browne returned last week
from visit with his daughter in Abu-
querque, N. NJ, and was much pleased
with the prospects of that territory.
II never saw the territory looking so
finely as at the present time" the doctor
said in response to question by The GALE
DOMAIN scribe. 1.-The unusually generous
rains have advanced the general well
fare of the territory to an unprecedented
degree in the last 20 years. Its vast cat
tie and sheep ranges are covered with an
exuberant growth of the very finest Of
grass. The result is that the capacity of
the Santa Fee railroad in the line Of cattle
transportation is being sorely tried. Of
course the cattle and sheep industry of
the territory is one of it's vital interests.
Next in Importance are it's mining inter-
ests, which are now receiving more
attention, and more money is being
expended in these developments than for
many years before. The territory is rich
in deposits of gold, silver copper and
coal.
