LEDBETTER AND sT0LBERT
interviewed on Subject Of
Man Hunting.

"The men who figured most
prominently-in the capture OF the
Jennings gang, Paden Tolbert and
Bud Ledbetter, were here this
week with Bill Tilghman on their
way home from Chickasha. These
three men are among the most
daring officers in the west. Led
better is now town marshal of
Vinita. WhileiTolbert is a deputy
United States marshal in Indian
Territory. Ledbetter he's been
merciless in his determination Of
the bad man in Indian Territory
and has done more to suppress
outlawry than all the courts. Led
better has literally killed multi
tude of outlaws. He is marvel
GUS shot and to this is due much
of his success in his fights. He
once ran as express guard n the
"Katy" from Parsons, Kas., to
Denison, Tex, and it is told of
him that he could stand in the side
door of car with the train run
ming at full speed and put seven
Winchester bullets into a telegraph
pole before the pole got out OF
range. Ledbetter is big fellow,
strong Of limb, gentle in manner,
with florid complexion, sandy
hair and keen blue eye. His
only fear is said to be that he will
be assassinated by some one OF his
numerous enemies who were
friends of the outlaws that he put
out of the way. In an open fight
Ledbetter is always able to take
care of himself. He has never
been hit by bullet and as a re-
suit is not "gun shy" Said he:
"It is largly game Of chance, any
way you look at it. A fellow can
get out Of a fight where bullets
whistle like hail, untouched, and
again get it squarely beween the
eyes from some Insignificant horse-
thief. | am of the opinion that
the harder you push 'em the less
likely you are to get hurt. Ard

ABOVE THE CLOUDS.
This Is the Special Field of n Naturai-
lists Work for the Cow
ernment.

Theodore Holm, Dane, for many
years botanist in the National museum
at Washington, concerns himself only
with things above the clouds. He
makes it his business to probe into the
mysteries of nature in the remote
heights Of the earth. How plants and
lchens grow in rigorous climes, on the
windy rocks Of the snow-capped noun
tains and in the arctic circle is the
special object of his research, and the
comparison between plants at the poles
and those on the tops of peaks is his
special delight. His search for informa-
ton has carried him into all parts OF the
world. Three times he, has gone into
the arctic circle, many times to Green
land and Iceland, and times without
number TO the North Cape and the
Lofoten islands. He has climbed the
Norwegian mountains and has strange
things to tell about the plants that
grow on our own Pixies Peak.
II have for long time been studying
The subject of the fiora,' said Mr.. Holm
at the Grand Central hotel, "and during
my studies have been in q great many
parts Of the globe. On several occasions
/ have been a member of polar expedi-
tions. In 1923 / was with the Danish
ship Dymphna, which took part in the
international polar expedition, in which
you will remember Gen. Greeley took
part. Andre Hangaad was our captain,
and for two years we drifted about the
polar seas, caught in the ice foes. The
Dutch ship yarna, which we met, kept
us company, sank at the end OF the
second year, but we saved the crew. I
began then, as the agent Of the Danish
government, to pursue the studies Of
circumpolar botany, and since then I
have followed the work in Greenland,
Iceland, America-in fact, all over the
world.
'sWhat has most interested me has
been the comparison Of plants found in
the polar regions with those found on
the mountain tops. My work lies
wholly above The timber line, and you

IMPORTATION OF MONKEYS.
Organ Grinders Do Not Carry Them
About the City Streets
Nowadays.

A man who had missed the monkeys
formerly carried about by the organ
grinders in the city streets, and who
had attributed their disappearance to
the changed condition of the organ
grinding business, to the substitution
of the big piano-organ on wheels, man
aged by two persons, for the old fash
ioned smaller hand organ that was car
led about by the player, found, upon
inquiry that, whatever influence the
changed conditions might have had,
the carrying of monkeys by organ
grinders is now prohibited here by
city ordinance. There are, however,
places in which the monkey still forms
valuable part of the organ grinders
outfit, and where the nimble little ami
NAL clad in an embroidered jacket, and
wearing fancy hat, which it doffs for
the pennies still climbs fences and rain
water conductors, and hops up on
porches quite in the old familiar way,
in search of contributions. While mon
keys are not permitted here, there are
men who buy monkeys and train them
to sell to organ grinders, who can use
them elsewhere; and well-trained
monkey sometimes brings as much as
$50.
1t had seemed, with fewer monkeys in
sight, as though there must be fewer
monkeys now imported, but the fact
appears to be that, If anything, the
importation is Just now rather greater
than usual, due to the increased de-
mand from the show people, who are,
after all, the greatest purchasers of
monkeys in this country. The organ
grinders use a considerable number,
few comparatively are sold for 20
illogical collections, and in recent years
a few have been sold for pets; but the
largest buyer of monkeys are the tray
cling shows, of which there are, be-
sides the great, modern consolidated
shows, many smaller ones, showing in
smaller towns throughout the country.
Take them all together and these shows
use up good many monkeys. The life
of monkey on the road is usually but
single season. The show renews its
stock of monkeys every year.
