General Cassius NJ. Clay is growing
blind, and his physicians fear that
they will be unable to save his sight.
Under the heavy burden of his age
and infirmities the lion hearted old
man is becoming more and more eccen-
trio. His constant delusion Is that
vendetta has been declared against
him.
The man whose naked knife was
once his sufficient protection against
all the world is now guarded In his
castle home nlght and day by armed
servltors.
Not one of these guardians, black or
white, who guard Whitehall would
hesitate for an instant to shoot-and
shoot to kilI-were any intruder rash
enough to disregard their directions.
And to back up the orders there Is
loaded cannon at the front porch, and
the thick brick walls are pierced for
double bnrreled shotguns. = Kansas

snce and the Directors.

When the great account is rendered,
when the final balance Is struck. it
may be found that Uncle Russell Sage
has credit with kingdom come. On
earth for the last % years the old
mlser has been the butt end of all COM
plants. Many manufactured story
OF money mennness has been fastened
upon him because he was good tackle
to carry it. Ills hospitality also has
come in for more than one score.
The latest Is about a meeting of a
board of directors. Having no other
place so cheap, Sage invited the mem
bers to his house, where business was
transacted In the dining room. On the
table was. magnificent basket Of
fruits, and visions of wine and salads,
brandy and cigars, arose.
Refreshments. however, failed to ma
terlalize and when the old man left
the room director said, soto voce,

Yes, u guardian angel for each one

FEDERAL RED TAPE.
Routine to Be Gone Through TO Have
n Clock Repaired.


A week ago the clock in the Office of
Postoffice Inspector Waters stopped at
exactly $50 While Mr.. Waters was
winding it cord broke and let one of
the weights fall to the bottom of the
case That was all.
The only reason that the timepiece
has not been repaired is the fact that it
belongs to Uncle Sam. A matchmaker
would probably have charged 30 cents
to replace the cord. but Uncle Sam Is
not in the habit of allowing his repre-
sentatives to be arbitrary even for so
cents Here is the course that had to
be taken to fix the clock. which will
probably be ticking again within two
weeks. According to the rules. Gus
todian Brickenstein of the building had
to be notified in writing that the clock
had ceased to run. He in turn was
obliged to send word to the general GUS
todian of federal buildings at Washing
ton and state specifically how the acct:
dent occurred.
Custodian Brickenstein is now await
ing a reply from Washington. which
will give him permission to see to the
repairing In the account Of expense
Custodian Brickenstein will itemize the
so cents and attach to the statement

ing the whole thing over again
It might seem funny to an ordinary
citizen, but the officials are accustomed
to it. For instance. one day last month
roller top to desk in one of the fed
eral offices refused to work, and the
regulation mode was followed. 1t was
repaired last week. -Denver News.

RISKS or BuLLFIGHTlNG.
No Uncommon Thing For the Bull to
Climb Among the Spectators.

Mo Uncommon Thing For the Bull to
Climb Among the Spectators.
eff the French are going to take mp
bullfighting as one of their regular
amusements says New Yorker who
has seen d good deal of the peninsular
sport in its native home, "they will
have to get themselves accustomed to
seeing a bull break loose. clear the bar
rier and make himself gay among them.
To Judge by the talk there has been IN
some of the papers about what happened
at Deuil few Sundays ago, one would
think that such thing was quite a
rare accident in the history of the bull
ring, but in the course of a single sea-
son that 1 was at Lisbon / must have
seen it happen at least half dozen
times-that is. more than once for eV'
cry Sunday l went to bullfght
"What is rare is for a bull to get
clear away from the building and go
careering about the streets of the neigh
borhood. That is prevented efectually-
by the way d bull ring is built. To get
to or from your place you have to go
up or down flights of steps. and rather
narrow ones at that, and a bull. how
ever active he may be, is not good at
flights of steps.

this jump in pursuit of fleeing 'capin-

passage he would half jump, half climb.
over the parapet. When he got mp there,
he would flourish his horns about. but
could do no damage to any one who had
the sense to get ZIP and move out OF his
way. You see. the benches around the
ring are set on sloping base of cement
and that makes it impossible for beast
with hoofs to move about. Besides, the
benches always impede him.
"You never hear women screaming
on those occasions All the women are
up in the boxes. and they know. be-
sides. that there ism any danger. The
bull always gets pushed back somehow.
One day 1 saw little cigar store clerk,
when bull landed close to him. coolly

came and dragged him of. If that bull
had been on level ground. it would have
taken thorough professional to go as
near him as that. and it would have
been at the risk of the mans life. -

K.uGer's Humor.

Half dozen back country Beers had
come to Pretoria to see the wonders OF
the capital With characteristic famil-
iarity they paid President Kruger a
visit at the early coffee drinking hour.
and later Oh during the day he showed
them over the government buildings.
In one OF the rooms an electric lamp
was burning. and as they were passing
out the president, with his hand on
the switch or button, asked them to
blow out the light from where they
stood. One after the other drew a
deep breath. blew out his cheeks and
sent forth tremendous puff. but all IN
vain. the light burning steadily as be-
fore.
Then the president babe them look
and blowing out his cheeks, ne slyly
turned the switch. blew, and out went
the light. The Beers were amazed, and
as they left the buildings one of them,
who had been more observant than the
rest, remarked:

the light was entirely inclosed in o

FRUIT GROWERS MEETING.
State Fair Prizes Reported-Exter
minating Slug and Aphis.

Probably on account of numerous
counter attractions, yesterdays meet
ing of the Salt Lake County Fruit
Growers associat ton was not as largely
attended as the previous monthly as
semblies, but the interest in the pro-
ceedings was very warm. President
Joshua Terry was in the chair.
The committee on state fair prizes
reported that the Consolidated lmple-
ment company would give a bonus OF
s. for the best cultivated orchard. the
Utah Nursery company a prize of SIS
in nursery stock, and the Davis county
nursery prizes of SIS and $40 for the
best cultivated orchard entered in com
petition.
J. VI. Smith of Draper related his ex-
periences on a recent inspection tour of
the orchards in Salt Lake county. He
found the woody aphis and the pear
slug almost everywhere in evidence,
playing havoc with the already blight
ed fruit crop. The situation surprised
him. because of the ease with which the
pests are eXteTminated. In many
places one spraying ives effective. Mr..
Smith recommended a spray of kero-
sene emulsion, paying special attention
to bathing the trunks of the trees.
An unusually attractive and instruc-
tive programme will be arranged for
the associations next meeting, Aug. 5.
