JOSEPH HANCoCK's MISTAKE.
Dallas Now stands on Farm He
Once Owned.

Dallas, Tex, Feb, 12.-Joseph Hancock,
IS years old, a native of New Hampshire
but who moved from Pektn, Ill, TO ieXas
in 1912. arrived in Dallas the other day on
a visit. after an absence OF more than halt
a century Fifty-seven years ago Mr.. Han
cock located on 6i0 acres of public land OF
the Republic of Texas His old claim is
now included in the site of the city of Dal-
las.
Nearly every foot of the ground is built
over in paved streets, railroad tracks, and
buildings. big business blocks and public
parks. the property being worth more than
$50 coo 600.
Mr. Hancock tired of his farm after two
years occupancy and moved to the Red
River Valley about 100 miles north of
Dallas Five years later the gold fever
| took him TO California. where he followed
mining until a few years ago, when he
moved TO Montana, his present home.
When he came TO Dallas tifty-seven
years ago there was not a house of any
kind here and only three white men. John
| Neely Bryan. man named Moore, and an
other named Mas All these are dead,
Moore and Mas having died near where
Hancock lived in California.
This pioneer of Dallas is now very poor.
He says that for years he has heard of the
wonderful growth and Importance OF Dali
las. and had such desire to see the city
which has been built on his old abandoned
farm. where he fought Indians and hunted
| buffalo. that he determined to come and
look upon it in his old days before it would
be too late.
Had | remained here. destiny would
have made me millionaire but my fore
sight was not good said the old man this
evening, in a tone of regret.

ALGER IN NEW YORK.
He Talks GIibI. Ia the Newspapers
of Various Things.

New York, Feb 12.-Secretary Alger
came to this city from Washington yes
terday on business. He is at the Fifth
Avenue Hotel. In conversation today he
said that the court of enquiry appointed by
the President TO investigate the alleged
sale Of poor beef to the War Department
would probe the question to the bottom
and that the department would aid in every
way in its power to get at the truth of the
matter. General AlgeT added that if any
packer had sold impure meat or poor meat
to the army every effort would be made 10
bring hlm 10 justice.
In regard to the situation in the Philip
pines General AIger said that, judging
from all the dispatches General Ouis had
sent he thought that the attack of the
Filipinos on the American lines had been
a surprise for. although General Otis had
reported feeling of unrest and uneasiness
among the natives, due 10 the unsettled
condition OF affairs in the islands. ne had
not At any time said that he expected an
attack.
As it is. General Alger thinks that Gen
eral Otis has the situation thoroughly IN
hand, and ne deems General Otis fully
competent 10 deal with any questions that
NAV arise Having confidence in General
Otis, the department has not sent any spe-
cial instructions to him believing that ms
tnOroNgn acquaintance Win tHt SIAua'ion
enables him 10 act for the best interests
OF all concerned.
The Secretary said that he had no doubt
OF the passage Of a satisfactory army bill
at the present session of Congress Ihe
reorganization of the army is necessary,
he said and in case there is no bill passed
at this session an extra session VIII be nee
essary but this is regarded as an unlikely
event. General AlgeT Is planning TO begin
his tour OF inspection Of the Cuban and
Porto Rico camps Immediately after the
adjournment OF Congress. The trip is to
be taken in order that he may become
personally familiar with the conditions
existing on the islands. so that the needs
of the troops and the wants of the inhabi-
tants may be supplied more intelligentiy.
The Secretary believes that a brief per-
sonsl inspection will put him in a better
position to handle affairs than any num-
Der OF reports.
The Secretary said that there never had
been any intention OF making Gen.
Leonard Wood Governor General of Cuba
for the reason that the post belongs TO a
major general. in which grade there are
no vacancies. The general situation in
Cuba and Porto Rico is very gratifying to
the authorities.

KIPLING'S TROUBLE.
The misunderstanding with His
BrotI;s.-r-~ an Old story.

New York, Feb. l2.-Rudyard KipiIns
declines TO comment on the action OF MS
brother in-law, Beatty a. Balestier, OF
Brattleboro vi. who. it is said, is about
to sue him for 500 Gao damages Tor ma
licious prosecution.
Trouble between Kipliug and his broth
er-in-law began early in 1880, and reached
a crisis in May year later, when BaIes-
tier. il Is alleged. assaulted the writer,
and. after calling him ali the hard names
he knew. threatened TO Kill him.
kipling visited the State attorney IN
BrattIeboro. Vt. near which place he lived,
and swore out warrant Tor his alleged as
sailants arrest The man was arrested,
and finally, after an adjournment, was
tried in the town hall before large crowd
of Green Mountain fox.
Kipling who WAS the only witness for
the prosecution, declared that Balestier
had met MIN few days before in stretch
Of woodland near Brattleboro, just as he
(Kipling) had fallen from his bicycle. Bal
estier. who Was in d buggy, attempted TO
talk With his brother-in-law. but kipling
refused to hear him, saying he must con-
suit his lawyers. Hearing this, Balestier
is alleged 10 have said:
This is no case for lawyers. II you
don't retract those lies about me ! VIII
punch the head Of you. l will give you a
week to retract. and if you don't ! will
blow out your brains.
MIR. Kipling had Ba!estier arrested. He
admitted on the stand that he vas afraid
his brother-in-law would will him. and
charged that Baiestier was mentally unba =
aured. In speaking on the subject. Mr..
Kipling said:
Il have a decided objection TO being
shot. When n man SAYS, If you don't re-
tract I'll blow your soul out of you. one
has reason 10 fear there is danger Of being
shot
BaIestier did not testify. and no wit
nesses appeared after Kipliug. The priso-
ner was held under $500 bonds to keep the
peace.
The first trouble began when Kipling re-
turned to his home in b. attleGo.o. after
having left Balestier in charge of the con-
struction of his Vermont bungalow. wEi,h
cost $50 coo and was named The Nauah-
ka." Balestier failed to carry out KIP

HoRsE-BREAKER RAREY.
Kindness His Means of Subduing
Equine Qundrupeds.

Next to Alexander the Great, who in his
youth subdued Bucephalus, perhaps the
most famous of all horse breakers was
John Rarey, the Ohioan who died at the
age of thirty eight, after having amassed
a fortune by his SKILL
With the awakening OF his mental en-
ergies, says his biographer in the February
st. Nicholas" the boy realized that there
was something wrong in the prevalent
method of breaking horses. His childish
soul recoiled at the cuffs and blows with
which drivers were wont 10 subdue their
animals. Throughout his school days the
subject of his compositions was Mans
Best Frend-the Noble Horse" His most
ambitious effort was rhyme, in which he
sang the gospel of kindness. patience. and
firmness" in dealing with the brute crea-
tion
The turning point in his boyhood came
on his twelfth birthday. His father, now
an extensive dealer in horses, presented to
him an unbroken pony, which the lad pro-
ceeded to train after his own ideas. Little
attention was paid to his maneuvers with
the pony until neighbors began to flock to
the farm TO see the animals almost hu-
man antics. The boy had trained the pony
until there seemed to be nothing beyond
the quadruped's intelligence. But while
family and neighbors applauded, the result
was attributed to the pony's abno NAL
cleverness rather than to the boys ski in
training.
His success with the pony encouraged
him to undertake the education of his
neghbors unframed horses. Gradually he
found himself master of a prosperous and
attractive business. For miles around his
boyhood home. pupils sought instruction in
his method of training. All this came
about while he was still in his teens. In
stature he was 4 medium sized youth with
a well -proportioned figure, wiry and active
rather than muscular
/ His complexion was almost effeminately
! fair. His hair was Aaxen. his eyes large
and gray. In manners and speech, as boy
/ and man. he was always Il gentleman.
/ When not engaged in conquerng frac-
/ tious horse, his fair face had the kindly
repose of poets. Observation in the ami
NAL world early convinced him that the
horse had intellectual endowment in har-
mopy with mans He soon learned that
/ his greatest successes were the result OF
! kind treatment, frmness and perseverance
Colts, however wild, he observed, allowed
cows, sheep and other domestic animals
to associate with them unmolested.
/ Young Rarey cultivated a close friend
ship with the Widest colts and his kind
ly advances were never repulsed. Not un-
frequently. they gave demonstration oi

A TERRIBLE TRIP.
CrawIed Fifty Miles With n Leg
Crushed and Wrists Broken.


Vancouver. B. c. Feb. 12.-Robert
Parker, prospector, who lives in sapper-
ton, fifty miles from this city, passed
through a terrible experience three weeks
ago which has left him a physical wreck
FOR life. He was brought here 10 receive
medical attention.
His right leg is broken in three places
and both wrists are completely shattered.
in this condition he crawled from Mount
Baker 10 near his home, a distance of
fifty miles. II took him nineteen days to
complete the trip.
Parker was with his partner, prospecting
near the summit Of Mount Baker, where
recent rich quartz finds have been made.
After making locations and securing speci-
mems Of quartz, they descended the noun
tain. In passing a glacier Parker missed
his footing and was hurled down a crevlce
distance Of fifty feet The pack on his
back saved his life.
With the help of a long rope which he
carried, his partner. Charlie Bates. after
great difficulty rescued Parker. The latter
was unconscious all that night but the
next day. Notwithstanding his terrible in
iuries he pluckily attempted 10 come out
TO civilization with his companion. Bates
bound up his leg and wrists in rude way
and by alternately hopping and crawling
Parker managed 10 make few miles.
Bates lett him TO seek help, ieaNinS pro-
visions When he returned, Two days later
Parker had disappeared. After Bates left
him he crawled off the trail. carrying
enough provisions to last him several days
For six days he lived in a deserted Indian
but, suffering eNcruciating pain Starting
out then, he actually hoped and crawled
a distance of twenty-five miles TO a small
settlement, making about two miles a day
There he was found by Bates and brought
TO this city.
Parker's leg is twisted and misshapen
and he will never use it again. Medical
skill can do little with his wrists. From 8
robust man Of 225 pounds he has faded to a
mere skeleton Of 100. His experience is
considered the most remarkable in the his
tory Of mining in this province.

LAW AND POETRY.

VFrom the Cle,flard Plain Dealcr)


From the Cleveland Plain Deacr)
The following amusing story involving
Hon George F. Marshall and Judge j. NJ.
Jones, illustrates s0mejof the characteris-
hcs OF each, and how tedious trial in
court is sometimes enliyened by humorous
byplay.
A jury trial had been on for sew
eral days, involving a serious dls-
pute as to the sum due on
contract under which a large amount OF
stone called curb and gutter had been
furnished and laid down. The trial was
tedious and protracted, the lawyers were
peaceful and dull, and the weather was
hot but the examination of witnesses as
TO the market price of curb and the
market price of gutter the quality and
quantity of the curb and the quality and
quantity of gutter went drearily on until
the reiteration became so monotonous that
a prominent citizen on the jury, who was
not only an honest granger. but was
also one of those whom old Simon Cameron
used to call id literary fellers.
yielded to the influence and INDUCED in
gentle slumber.
The Judge soon observed the situation.
and knowing the "granger's'' aptitude and
fondness for versification, hastily scTibbled
the following lines for his benefit, as
apropos to the occasion:
When sleeps soft presence covers me,
And nights dark pinons round me Hutter,

In pure champagne I'd drink his toast,
And bid farewell to ''curb and gutter"
oh. SAD the honest granger's fate.
Whose peaceful dreams of eggs and butter,
! Are werd rcitcrate
OF endless tales OF curb and gutter.
When completed this paper was address,
ed and passed over TO Hon. George F.
Marshall. the honest granger on the jury,
who read il with much amusement. AS
soon as the evidence was closed and the
lawyers had begun TO speak, Mr.. Marshall
Z was rejoced al the prospect of a speedy
termination, and reciprocated the favor Of
the judge by sending up to the bench the
following addendum
