episode just mentioned word came that
Il woman preacher was coming TO the
town TO hold a protracted meeting.
When Gabe heard this news he vowed
up and down that no woman would
hold any meeting there.
Two or three days later Gahe was
out on the range rounding up some
cattle. He was charging across the
prairie after a refractory steer. when
his horse stepped into "A prairie dog
hole, pitched over on his head, rolled
Gabe off and fell on top of him, fractur-
ing "A leg and severely spralning his
back.

no preaching in the town. Gabe $
fame had spread abroad, and preach
crs were disposed to give him wide
berth. He boasted that he had broken
up the church and that there would
never be any more services in the town
while he remained there.
In this, however, Gabe was mistaken,
for services were again held In the
town, and Gabe Tucker was one of the
most regular, earnest and deyout at
tendants. And 1t all happened In this
manner. About three months after the

There were good many pretty hard
characters among the early-day Kan
sas cowboys, but it is doubtful If there
was one who held any advantage over
Gabe Tucker Gabe often boasted that
the one consuming ambition of his life
was to become the champion tough and
terror of the cattle range. he drank
gambled and fought, and was always
ready to engage in shooting scrape
at moments notice, and on the least
provocation. And swear, Why, he
was simply eloquent in the use of pro
family.
Gabe had no more respect for religion
than he had for the dirt under his feet
lie derlded and scoffed everything of
d religious nature, and some of his
remarks were so bold and blasphemous
that even his cowboy companions
heard them with a creeping sensa tion
of awe and fear
One of Gabe's chief Sunday enjoy
ments was to come into town, fill up
ON whisky and proceed to break up
religious services. He would charge
up and down in front of the building
where services were being held, yell
ing and cnrsing in the most horrible
manner, and peppering the side of the
house with bullets or shatterlng the
glass from the windows. Frequently,
when night services were being held,
he would ride up to the door and pro
eeed coolly and calmly to shoot out the
lights, one after another, until the con
sregation was left in perfect darkness.
or course the people of the town did
not approve of Gabe's style, and they
were generally agreed that his devil
Ty ought TO be stopped, but when 1t
came to stopping it, that was another
matter.
Things went along in this way for Il
long time, but at last one Sunday Il new
minister occupied the pulpit. He was
a young college graduate from some
where east of the Mississippi, rash
lmpulsiye and unacquainted with the
natures of the untamed western cow
boys. In the course of his sermon he
took occasion TO speak of Gabe Tuck
ar's devitry and he denounced 1t in
40 uncertain terms. His audience lis
tened in astonshment and trembled
with fear for his safety. Well, Gabe
heard about the preachers remarks,
and the next Sunday he rode up TO the
church, tied his horse and went in and
took a seat among the cOngrega ton,
but well back from the pulpit. He
sat quietly while the opening hymns
were sung and prayer was offered,
but the congregation kept cycling him
suspiclously. The minister came for
ward, read a passage of Scripture, of
fered few words of prayer and be-
gan to deliver his sermon. When he
had spoken a dozen sentences Gabe
suddenly arose and drawing his pistol
began to plant bullets in the floor all
around the preachers feet. The audi
ence yelled and screamed and crawled
hoped and lodged about, scared with
in an inch of his life. 1t was an eXcit-
ing time and Gabe was the only person
in the house who was calm and cool.
He continued to fire his pistols until
he had but two balls left and with
those he cut little bunch of hair from
either side of the preachers head just
as a reminder of his proficient marks
manshlp. Then he went out. mounted
his horse, gave a series of whoops and
dashed away across the prairie. The
young minister went back east right
away and for long while there was

he was conveyed to town and located
in room at Il little hotel Now at this
hotel there was Il lady boardcr who
had come only the dag before. She
was not exactly young and pretty, yet
there was a wholesome freshness and
an expression of goodness about her
that made her very attractive. This
lady took a great interest in Gabe from
the moment when she first saw him,
and when she found that he Rad no
one to nurse him she went to the doc
tor and offered her services. The doc
tor shook his head and hesitated.
THE man needs woman's care"
he admitted, but he's not worthy OF
it. He is terrible character.
I'm what way?" she asked.
'He is tough. He swears, drinks,
CANDLES, fights
The doctor went on to give n brief
account of Gabe's life or deyiltry. The
woman, instead of being frightened
from her purpose, was all the more
confirmed in it.
the more need of throwing kind in
huences about him. His soul is as pre-
cious as any soul on earth, and Ii Is Il
Christian duty to reclaim it II posi-
ble.'
From that day she visited Gabe,
bringing him dainty little morsels of
food and performing many small offices
to add to his comfort. She always
brought smiling face into the room,
and she was unsparing with kind, con
soling words.
At first Gabe resented the woman's
visits, and she got little from him cX-
cept dark scowls and few mumbled
words in reply to her questions. She
took no notice of his ungracious con
duet or at least appeared not to. and
continued to treat him with the same
uniform consideration.
After a while her kindness began to
tell on him, and she saw 1t, though he
tried to keep it secret. She saw that
his face frightened when she came in
to the room, and that he listened eager
ly to her words, however much he pre-
tended not to.
At last there came time when Gabe
could mask his real feelings no longer.
and in his rough, brusque way he
poured out his gratitude to his nurse.

"who and what you are. Won't you
tell me?'

Gabe was staggered for Il moment.
then he rallied to his promise and kept
It. More than that when he was able,
he attended the protracted meetings
because she asked him.
The result over it all was that he got
religious and fell in love, or perhaps it
would be more proper to say that he
fell in love first and that led to the 9TH
er. The curious thing was the preacher
loved him and married him, and that
he became her helpmeet In her minis
terial work.--Utica Globe.

dividual who builds railroad is do
ing work for the state. Therefor
these $l03,O0O,0OO worth Of lands
were given the railroads. Yet the
railroads pose as public benefactors,
claiming that but for transportation
facilities, Minnesota would not be
able to market her 88,000,000 bushels
of wheat. That the railroads shun
their just burdens is shown by the
fact that the farming industry in this
state is IL times greater than the rail-
road industry, yet the latter pay only
one seventh to one-eighth Of the taxes
that the farmers do. Mr.. Ringdahrs
remedy is to have the Legislature fol
low the Iowa plan and fix railroad
tariff.
In speaking of trusts, the speaker
traced the history of the Standard Oil
Co. He regarded the institution OF
trusts as dangerous to the republic

A fire, set by passing train, swept
through Andrew McArthur's grove,
one mile north of Hancock, and
destroyed some nice young shrubery
which he recently transplanted.
Only the timely arrival of as ,istance
prevented his stacks and machinery

DEALS IN HALF TRUTHS.
p. M. Ringdahl and What He Would
Make You Believe.

p. M. Ringdahl and What He Would
Make You Believe.
P. M. Ringdahl, the Peoples party
nominee from this district spoke at
the opera house Tuesday night. lie
was listened to by fairly large audi
ence, and among his followers un-.
doubtedly made favorable impress
sion. Following is a brief synopsis
of the speech, in which an attempt
has been made to retain the the
speakers point of view.
Mr.. Ringdahl grouped his points
under the sub. heads of money, trans
,portation and trusts. He said in sub
stance:
At the present time this country is
said to have the best banking laws 1t
has ever had, yet banks have been
known to "bust." 'Then" said Ring
dahl, eff we have the best banking
system, L do pity those who have the
poorest"
Money is scarce, and in order to
''corner" any commodity this scarcity
is the first requisite. Too much
money is bad money, but too little is
worse. One result of the scarcity Of
money is that the American citizen
can think as he pleases, but he can
not talk as he pleases, The debtors
and the mortgages are always infu-
enced in their expression Of opinion
by their creditors, though this govern
ment was built to give men right to
talk as they please.
Taking up bimetalism, Mr.. Ring
dahl reiterated the success with
which this country operated the dou-
lie standard from 1892 to 1878. But
after the demonstration" of silver
in '73, the single gold standard be
came a source of complaint before
seven years had passed. In regard
to the source of the value of money,
the speaker insisted that the coined
gold or silver bore the same relation
to the bullion as iron or wood IN d
wagon does to the raw material. The
labor expended in coming the silver
dollar tends to make the SO cents
worth of silver pass for 100 cents.
Roughly speaking, Minnesota has
100000 acres within its borders.
Deducting 100000 of water area,
the arabic land really available is
about 100000 acres. Yet out of
this vast domain, 100000 acres
have been granted to the railroads.
By supreme court rulings, these rail-
roads are public highways, and an in

MARINE INSURANCE RATES NOT RAISED

Tho marine insurance companies are receiving
many inquiries daily from shippers and consgnors
OF goods as TO whether there is any immediate pros
pec OF change OF rates In view OF the strained
latons between this country and Spain. The rates
have not been raised yet. and leading Insurance
men say that there will be increase until there
IS something more definite to the probability Of

Anton A. Raven, president OF the Atlantic Mutual
Marine Insurance Company. said yesterday: "In
all marine policies there is clause which exempts
claims account of capture or destruction by any
belgerent nation. We have received applications
from consgnors for policies with this clause elm

IN SANTIAGO DE CUBA
FACTS GATHERED BY THE MoNTGoMERTs
OFFICERS.

Santiago de Cuba Feb 22-Before leaving hero
the officers Of the Montgomery gathered such data
as TO the state OF affairs IN the province OF San
uago de Cuba their short stay would allow.
The province CT Santiago de Cuba contained
267.5ll inhabitants at the last census. Since the
outbreak Of the present war no accurate estimate
OF the population has been made
Before the war the city of Santiago do Cuba
had 5677G inhabitants. This has been reduced to
about 81 600 by the departure OF most Of the able-
bodied men 10 take part in the war. This loss
of population was in spite OF the Quartering here
Of about five thousand laboring people from tho
surrounding country.
The deaths In tho city for the last four months
were as follows october. 25S; November. 800; De-
cember 42i and January. 4Ss. During the first
week In February the mortality was only one-half
Of the weekly average of January. This marked
decrease is attributed 10 tho free distribution OF
quInine from the United States Consulate.
Tho des;ituiion here does not IN any degree ap-
proach that found in Matanzas. The actual num-
Der of the aboring country people now IN the city
is about two thousand. and they are not in any
great distress The two mining companies are IN
eed Of labor. and they give work and good wages
to all who are able TO go 10 the mines. Conse-
quently the restitution OF the laboring CLASS Is HI
tie greater than normal.
