NATIONAL STOCKHOLDERS.
Clash Threatened Between Stockmen and
State Game Warden.


Denver, Colo, Jan 24.-There is a
prospect for serious difficulty on the
occasion OF the barbecue to be given in
connection with the stockgrowers' con-
vention January 9th. The committee
having the affair in charge has secured
buffalo, elk, antelope, mountain sheep
and quail for the spread.
The killing and serving of all these
animals at this time of year is con-
trary to Colorado law, and Game War
den Swan has announced in the most
positive terms that any attempt to
carry out the programme will result in
the confscation of the game and the
arrest of all those responsible in the
matter, even if he has to call out the
state militia.
The management of the barbecue, on
the other hand, declare that the game
is already in cold storage, and will be
served regardless of the game warden.
Many of the members of the COM
mittee are well known stockmen who
have regulations for determination,
and it is freely predicted that the
game warden viii meet very rough
treatment if he attempts to interfere
with the programme arranged.

GLADSTONE BROKEN DOWN.
Old Premier Expressed a Wish That All
Might be Over.


Cannes, Jan. 24.-Mr. and Mrs. Glad
stone drove out today. Mrs. Gladstone
was helped down the steps into the
carriage by a nurse and valet. Mr..
Gladstone wore thick overcoat with
the collar turned up and a soft felt
protecting his cheeks and eyes. He
descended the steps in the slowest
manner, leaning on a stick, and was
lifted into the carriage. Then he was
wrapped in furs. The alarming rumors
concerning Mr.. Gladstones health
were confirmed today. He is extremely
weak and also so detected as result
of neuralgia pains that he expressed
desire that all were over.

flowers did on the summer hats. In
stead Of being turned up in the back,
as the summer hats were, they are
turned up in the front. Theater hats
are small, being more in the coronet

Felt hats have the long camefs hair

are turned up on both sides, more or

worn so much but rhinestones set in

it is worn a great deal to church.-Ex.

LEVIED ON A HOT DINNER.
Landlord Saw That He Was Cornered
and Paid Over the Money.

Memphis Commercial-Appeal
"The most interesting levy I ever
heard Of" said Squire Bell, was one
that made some time in 1868 or 1869,
when l was marshal of the Memphis
Municipal court. l had a judgment
against old Colonel Cockerill, who used
to run a hotel. / had tried and tried
to collect it until four days of the time
] was allowed were left.
'I went to see the colonel again. I
told him that he would have to do
something. He said that If i would
Just wait till Tuesday, which was the
last day of the term, he would settle
up.
Suppose you make it Monday,
Colonel sad, for knew that if
failed to make the levy on Tuesday my
execution was dead, and / wanted a
day of grace. Well, the Colonel agreed
to settle IN on. Monday.
when Monday came the Colonel was
awfully sick, and his three boys, who
were in the office, would let nobody see
him. There were in those days, just
as there are now, a lot of men lying
around and waiting to get on the jury.
/ had counted the doors of the hotel
dining room, and I picked out a man
for each door and gave them S1.50 apiece
and took them down to the hotel. When
the gong sounded for dinner l had a
man stand at each door with orders to
let no one in. There was a great deal
of travel in those days, and the hotel
was crowded. Pretty soon the people
began to fill up the halls and wonder
what was the matter. The doors of the
dining room were glass, and the peo-
pie could see the tables set and the
walters standing round, but they
couldn't get in.
"This didn't last very long before the
old Colonel sent for me. I call this a
low trick, Mr. Ball. he said.
"'No low trick at all, Colonel said
I. L have done a thing never done be-
fore in the world. have levied on a
hot dinner, and 1 am going to hold it
till that moneys paid
"The Colonel waXed wroth and swore
that he would beat the attorney in the
case just as soon as he got well. But,
finding that his gettingSlot didn't keeI
the dinner from getting cold, he finally
sent for the bookkeeper, who brought
up about $500, which lacked just $50
of satisfying the judgment. The Colo
mel wanted to get off with this, but
demanded security, He was lying in
bed, and reached under his pillow and
handed me watch and chain worth
twice as much as was still due"

oLD-FAsnIoNED JOURNALISM.
Editor Didn't Want Big News and
DISCHARGED the Reporter.

From the New York Press.
Reporters are at times too officious
for their breeches, as this story will
prove: When Thomas Kinsella was
editor of the Brooklyn Eagle, a bright
young man in the city department was
sent over to New York to attend an i'm
portant meeting that would have netted
him about a stickful of space. Down in
Pearl street happening to stroll he came
across one of the great shipping mer-
chants, whose connections with South
American republicans enabled him to
get much valuable news, and, being ac-
quainted with the. gentleman, asked if
there was anything new. "Why, yes"
said the merchant. There's big news.
The president of Bolivia has been as
sassinated, and war with Chile has
broken out The whole country is
fighting. Hasn't been such a ruction in
South America in years" This was a
good story, and looked as If it might
be q beat" Our reporter dropped
everything else and went to work on it.
Hoping to surprise the Office with an
excellent account of the revolution the
young man deferred mentioning it to
the city editor until he had written
about two columns, when he marched
proudly to the desk to turn it in. Mr.
Kinsella happened to. be near by.
Have you turned in a report Of that
meeting?" asked the city editor. mo,
SIR" was the reply; "I got hold Of a
big piece of news and have been busy
working on it all day. The meeting will
be covered by city press and it isn't
worth paragraph" Kinsella Clipped
in: what did you say you have been
doing?" Writing an account of revo-
luton in Bolivia; president assassinat-
ed; war with Chile; whole country
fighting" "Who ordered you to do it,,
sir?" IT'S a beat l happened to get
on" The old editor raved Let me
give you to understand once for all,
sir, that the people of Brooklyn care
nothing for revolutions and murders
and wars in South America when they
can read in the Eagle an account of
Mr.. Mclaughlin or Mr.. Beecher or Mr..
Stranahan or any other prominent citi-
zen slipping on a banana peel and
spraining his foot! Understand that,
sir! Don't forget it. That meeting was
small affair, but two of the directors
are Brooklyn men, and Brooklyn read
ers want to know what they did-D-n
your revolution!' In his heat he tore
up the story of South America and dis
charged the reporter.
