Modest Brave Men
[From the Youths Compani

From the Youths COmpaniOn.1
The really brave mans story about
his own deeds is always modest Not
infrequently he is unable to give any
account of them which is satisfactory
to his hearers. The reporters who in
tervieWed' soldiers wounded on San
Juan Hill had a hard time in getting
stories" from them One soldier said:
There. isn't thing to tell 1 only
went ID there. with lot OF other
chumps, and got shot. I didn't even
have sense enough to know it when I
was shot"
Not long ago a French chroniqueur-
Montmirail of the Paris 'Gaulois''-
encountered in a little village of the
south Of France a gardener who wore
pinned on his clean Sunday blouse the
ribbon of the Legion of Honor. Natur-
ally, the newspaper man desired to
know how ne got it The gardener, who
like many of his trade, seemed to be Il
silent man. was aveTse to meeting an
old and wearisome demand, but finally
he began:

DEWEY EMPHATIC.
The Admiral Would Not Accept
Presidential Nomination.

Washington Nov 81 would not
under any circumstances consent to be
a candidate for the presidency, and I
would consider it an act of friendship
If the press would treat this decision as
sincere and final I wish they would
now drop the matter. I feel that any
further booming of my name for the
presidency tends to make me ridic-
uIous.
This is Admiral Dewey's statement
made Saturday evening.
7 am now 81 years OF age Admiral
Dewey says, land feel that I have
reached all the hOnors and rewards due
to a man in one lifetime have no
training for a presidential career, and I
should certainly make a great mistake
to enter a race for the presidency.
There was Grant who made a grand
career as a soldier. but il is a very dou BIT
full and disputed question whether he
added anything to his IaurelS by going
into politics Ny old friend Hancock
IS an example and warning to the same
effect"
Admiral Dewey's coming marriage is
plainly not to be interpreted in any way
as an indication of political ambition
To a friend who suggested this view OF
il, Admiral Dewey said
Not at all have no political ambi-
ton whatever, and won't allow my
name to be used as a candidate under
any possible circumstances"
Not even TO save the cOuntry?'' sug-
gestad his friend
Not even on the pretense of saving
saving OF the country does not depend
on any one man. If this country gets
so poor in material as that, it viii be
in a very bad way"

FATALLY SHOT.
Low COlOred Woman Shoots Man
of Her Own Glass.

Anna Clay. alias Johanna Dupree,
shot and perhaps fatally wounded
Red" Erwin Sunday morning. Both
are colOred and have long police court
records. Erwin is now at the Salvation
Army hospital with a bullet wound in
his bowels.
The shooting took place at Johanna
Dupree's place on North Madison
street She with several other coIored
women had been out to a dance all
night and returned to the house early
in the morning. Red" Erwin, yellow
BiIr' and Harry Brown went to the
door and knocked. One asked the Du-
pree woman for some clothing he had
left there While getting the clothing
Erwin and the Dupree woman quarrel
led and had some words
IF you don't quit buIIdOzing me I'll
shoot you some time. said the Dupree
woman.
IF you can shoot faster than can
get your gun said Erwin
The Dupree woman went into anOth-
er room and came back with a revolver.
She pointed the revolver at the ceiling
and fired. ErWin'S two companions
tried to get him out of the house He
reached for his revolver They held him
and Just as he was backing out the door
the Dupree woman shot him He fell
and his two friends carried him to a
neighbOring house.
The police were notified of the
shooting. Sergeant Belts went to the
scene Erwin's friends said they did
not want the woman arrested and the
officer returned to the station without
arresting her When Chief Ramsey ar
rived at the station he took an officer
and arrested the woman She was turn
ed over to the state
The physicians say that If Erwin lives
through today he may recover but that
he IS dangerously wounded.

Rare eame in the Rookiea

From the New York Sun
Two kinds of game are reported by
hunters this fall as existing in the
mountains west of the Twin Lakes
One is q band of Rocky Mountain goats
aid the other a black wild or mountain
sheep, the usual color of the latter be
ing a granite gray The black sheep is
a fine specimen of the big horn and IS a
freQuenter of Monitor Rock, five miles
west of Twin Lakes, between Echo
canon and Black Cloud gulch- The rock
is a precipitous promontory-Iilzes spur of
Mount Ebert, and the hunter can not
scale it without his approach being de-
tected- by the ebOny-hued big horn The
latter often stands upon the summit
like a sentinel, guarding the small band
that grazes further back
This mountain sheep had been a fire.
Quenter of Monitor Rock for many
years until about a year ago. But as
he had not been seen the past summer
on his lofty haunt it was supposed that
he had met death in the extraordinary
snowfall last winter. Within a week
he was seen again on Monitor Rock.

having respect for the game laws pro-
hibiting the killing of the big horn.
The band of wild goats roam the
Crystal Lake and La Plata basins, high
UP in the range between Lake and
Clear creeks They are very shy, and
while often seen have generally been
mistaken for wild sheep. The band was
seen at close range recently. and Pro
SpectOr Lewis established the identity
of the creatures as goats Dr. Cornelius
of Prairie Dog Park also says that the
band has been known for several years,
hunters having reported encountering
it every now and then. The goats have
SnOW-White coats, with black horns like
those of the plains antelope. The lead
ing billy has q beard of a length and
Iuxuriance that gives him a very. patrf-
archal aDDearance.

Truth and Fable About the Camel

CFrOm the COrnhi1 Magazine
There are many fables told about the
camel Riding him is supposed to
make people seasick He has the rep
utatiOn of being very vicious He is
supposed to have several stomachs,
and TO go for several weeks without
water as a matter of choice. I can only
say that IN nearly four years of exper-
fence have never met with a case of
seasickness or heard of it; neither have
/ known a really vicious camel, except
when they are in a state called by the
Ara bS 'sa1n, which means fasting
and corresponds TO the ''rutting'' per
iOds in stays As regards the camel's
stomach, believe it is identicaIIy the
that. at any rate, there is no formation
of stOmachs which would enable him
to do without water.
His abstinence is merely the result
OF training, and it is a faIIacy to sup
pose that he IS better without water
or can work as Well In the camel
corps We Watered our camels every
second day in the summer. every third
day IN winter, giving them their fill of
water morning and evening on those
days, but if in the summer we expected
a long desert march without water, we
trained them beforehand by ONLY va
tering every third day But [ never
found that this improved their condi-
ton The Arabs keep their cameIs
longer without water, it is true, but
then they travel slower, and their ami
mails are grazed on soft food contain
ing a certain amount OF moisture This
lowers their condition and makes them
inferior to a corn-fed camel when hard
work and long. fast journeys have to
be done
We always found that if we put a
CRASHED Arab camel alongside Of ours
it failed in work and endurance. If
corn-fed it cried out for water as soon
as and sooner than our did I saw
cried OUT because a camel when it
wants water means continually. and
there is no more painful sound at night
in the desert than the ceaseless moan
ing of thirsty camels.
KENTUCKY SNAKE-BITE CURE
Speaking about snakes began the
major, reminds me of a little Incident
down on the plantation. A man down
thar was cutting away some under
brush when he suddenly threw down
his blade and said a snake had bit him
in the heel We brought some bourbon
down from the house and made him
drink a quart without taking a breath
Then the man turned around and said
he believed he had been wrong about
the snake bite; that it was q thorn
went up in his heel
That man was lucky, major"
He was, sub He was lucky to put
away that quart of bourbon before he
found out the mistake
