The present trouble began several

let down later by the HaveImeyer tes-
timony, that the factor plan had been
abandoned. Western grocers then de-
cided to get together and agree to work

received shortly after noon, while Sec
retary Long was with the president.

The tender of the war portfolio was

the president will leave for the Adiron-

(Elihu Root was born at Clinton, N.

A Dog.POlicoman.

A gentleman who lives at Greenock,
in Scotland, once received a young
Scotch terrier, which he tied up in
his ONCE to prevent him from straying.
He was absent from his Office for a
short time, and on his return he found
the terrier gone. The youngster from
the hills, liking freedom better than
being chained to stool, had quietly
gnawed the string through and holtsd.
But Snider, a bulldog, was also ab-
sent, and this was a cause of great
surprise, for he was never known to
wander from the house without his
master. A report was sent round that
the dogs were stolen or lost, and the
town was secured In vain. The search
was given up; then, late at night.
Snider was seen in the distance max
ing for home, dragging something
after him. This was found to be the
young terrier that had bolted. Nearer
and nearer he drew, dragging him
along, in spite of his efforts to 60 the
opposite way, and at last he landed
him at the ONCE door. Not con-ent
with bringing the truant thus far, he
tried to drag him up to the spot where
he was tied before he broke away.

When Cupid starts out to unite two

tricks turks behind this notice, which
occurred late in the past summer, in

the Reverend Edward L. Atkinson, pas
tor, Horatio Bigelow, %, Of Boston. and
Mary Alice Reece, 21, also Of Boston.

Perhaps young Mr. Bigelow had no

the part Of both. Miss Reece was pref

manner, though her home was not

walked along the south side OF the
square Tut came in sight about eighty
yards away. They halted and both
drew their guns and fired. Tutt fell
dead Hickok was unhurt, though the
ball passed two inches from his head
and buried itself in the wall of the old
Shepherd building. 1t was his only
duel, for he was not quarrelsome and
the gamblers avoided him, knowing
well his ability as a shot.
AS has often been told, he met his
end in Deadwood, being shot from be-
hind by man who had followed him
for years because of the death OF
brother, whose taking on was the
gamblers act. Hickok's guns were
beside him and he reached for them
but his strength was gone. His slayer
was taken out and ran the gauntlet OF
a party Of good marksmen, but escaped
them all and fed into the mountains,
never to be heard OF again. 1t was
considered a poetic justice that tho
killer should meet his death at the
hands Of an avenger. Other avengers
had tried it, but none was quick enough
before. The miners buried him on tho
wooded hillside near Deadwood, ana
for a long time his grave was un-
marked. Then one day an admirer OF
the old scout Struck it rich" and put
up monument that is one OF the
unique cemetery adOrnments OF tho
nation. 1t bears bust Of Hickok, be-
meath ara two crocce1 ravOlvarS chiS-
eled in the granite and a scroll recites
his virtues. Some years ago an effort
was made by number of rich Cali
fornia miners to get permission to
move the body to that state for burial.
but nothing came Of it. The people OF
Deadwood have in the grave one OF
the chief attractions Of the place, ana
would be 10th to allow it's removal.
1t is somewhat curious that though
he went through life as wild Bill"
he had nothing in his name that war
ranted the title. 1t was in fact stolen
from his elder brother who was killed
in some dangerous mission during the
war. When William died, the younger
Hickok John b., became Bill" and
later wild Bill" 1t was perhaps his
superb craftsmanship rather than any
other quality, unless it might have
been his expertness at cards, that made
Hickok great. Be that as it may, he
has a secure place in the history OF
the frontier, and any relation OF cattle
trail days that omits his deeds and
misdeeds is incomplete.

don't suppose many people who go

was a Scotch merchant who made a
fortune in indigo-clearing $4,000 in

was an odd character and had some
funny ideas. He would not bet on
horse racing, but did not mind joining
others in a big of smuggling. AS an
all-around speculator, perhaps, he
thought it was legitimate business.
One Of the most successful undertake
ings Of this kind was big deal in
French gloves, which he or his con-
federates arranged very cleverly. The
gloves were packed in two distinct de-
scriptions Of bales, one containing only
right-hand gloves, the other only left
hands, and the bales were shipped by
different vessels. lest the preventive
men should discover them. AS it
turned out one lot Of the bales was
seized, and, in accordance with the
rules Of the custom house, was put up
for sale by auction. Intending buyers,
Of course, examined the goods before
bidding, and found to their astonish-
ment that the gloves-hundreds OF
dozens-were all for one hand. Nat
urally the whole parcel was knocked
down for nothing to the willy SNUG

Battle Of an Eagle and q Lobster

Lieut-Col. Andrew C. P. Haggard, an
elder brother OF Rider Haggard, the
novelist, recently returned from trip
to Newfoundland, and tells of re-
markable sight he saw while sitting
on the seashore with guide with
whom he had been fishing for salmon
in the Terra Nova river. They had
been watching for some time the evo-
lutions Of a white-headed eagle, called
by the Observation-Disclosures a grip"
After soaring round in several circles
above and in front Of them, the eagle
suddenly dashed down into a pool OF
water near them on the beach and
reappeared holding an enormous lob
ster in his talons. 1t was an old lob
ster, with a huge claw, white with
barnacles. The eagle had him clutched
firmly around the back, and at first
the huge claw hung helplessly down,
the barnacles shining white in the sun
light. This was only for second,
though. The ripples on the recently
disturbed pool had not yet died away
when the captive lobster suddenly
awoke to the seriousness OF the situa-
tion and to think with him was to act.
Up moved the great white barnacled
claw until it seized the eagle round
the neck. There was a furious fiut-
tering ind beating Of the eagles wings.
a melancholy sQuawk from his choking
throat. and then, tumbling and rolling
head over heels in the air in con-
fused mass, down came eagle and lob.
ster again, splash back into the pool.
The two spectators of the scene rushed
forward, thinking that they could per-
haps in some way secure both COM
batants, for the splashing of the con-
fiict continued in the shallow water.
But they had hardly time to pick up
stone apiece to throw at the eagle be-
fore the lobster, feeling himself al
home again, let go his hold. With his
neck all torn and devoid Of feathers.
away flew the bedraggled eagle In
most melancholy guiss to a neighbor-
ing cliff, while the lobster, to give Col
Haggard's own words, "still brandish-
ing his enormous claw in defiance, re-
mained sminng at the bottom of the
pool"
