DAVID 60. To, Jan. 19.-Colonel A.
J. Blackwell is dead at his home here.
He had been identified with many of
the large land and railroad deals af-
fecting Oklahoma, and has led very
eventful life. He married rich Cher
okee girl, and he and his wife once
saved the town of David from an In
dian massacre. He was a figure in the
Joplin (Mo.) mines in early days, and
was years ago sent to the Detroit pen
itentiary for years for counterfeiting.
His trial was most sensational.

HILL CURRENCY BILL.
Secretary Gage Appears Before the
House Committee.

WASHINGTON, jan 19.-Secretary
Gage to-day appeared before the House
Committee ON Coinage, Weights and
Measures, to explain his view of the
Hill bill to define and fix the standard
Of value and regulate coinage. This is
the bill which the advocates of currency
reform propose to supplement for the
currency bill of the Banking and Cur
rency Committee. 1t makes the gold
dollar the standard Of value. Secretary
Gage gave his general approval to the
measure, but took strong exception to
Section II, which proposes to assess
one-quarter Of per cent tax annually
upon the capital, surplus and undivided
profits of national banks.
The Secretary contrasted the burdens
upon which national banks labored,
compared with trust companies. He
explained that national banks were
compelled to pay in local taxation two
and half times as much as trust COM
panies, and they were required to carry
large reserves, which trust companies
were not. He did not think 1t fair that
this additional burden should be placed
upon them.
Section II would increase the taxa
would it not?" inquired Hill.
'It would" replied the Secretary.
land / suggest that it be left as it is"
With that exception the Secretary
agreed that the bill was feasible and
practicable, so far as the Treasury De-
partment was concerned.
"The bill would place the country
fatty on the gold standard, would it
not?" asked Cooper of Texas.
ut would
Secretary Gage submitted a substi-
tute bill with Section IL omitted and
various other minor changes.
At the request of Hartman of Mon
tana, the Secretary agreed in few

general questions which were asked of

AN UNKNOWN ANIMAL.
The OuRprise Of n Western Hunter
Who Had Killed His
First Buffalo.

In 1912 Gen. William Ashley, the head
Of the Rocky Mountain Fur company,
travelled up the Platte valley with
large party OF men, all of whom were
suffering for want of food. Before they
reached the buffalo country the In
dams had driven off the herds, and Gen.
Ashley's men were reduced to an allow
auce of half pint of flour day. This
was made into kind of Cruel, and
served to keep them alive.
If it happened that a duck or goose
was killed, it was shared as fairly as
possible, but still the men were in a
sad plight. Finally one Of the party,
Jim Beckwourth, came on lucky find
of deer and game, and the next day
he was even more successful in way
entirely surprising to himself. He had
climbed a tree to get a fairer view, and
he says:
II perceived some large, dark-colored
animal grazing on the side Of hill,
about a mile and half distant. 1 was

and still unable to make out what he
was. Taking good aim, l pulled the
trigger; the rifle cracked, and l made
rapid retreat toward the camp. After
running about 200 yards and hearing
no movement behind me, looked
round and saw, to my great joy, that
the animal had fallen.
Continuing my course to camp, !
met the general who saw blood on
my hands from a previous encounter,
and asked me:
Have you shot anything, Jim? p
"'Yes, sir
"'What have you shot"
"Two deer and something else,'
answered.

horns?'

to camp.

Youth possesses the other side.
Blithe figures caper about. Upon this
jeunesse, Notre Dame casts her shad-
ows; the dome OF the pantheon rises
proudly above it. Faces are fresh,
voices gay; no one mumbles about his
liver OF is conscious of having one. Dis
sipations, too, are different. Theaters
stop glittering before you have crossed
the bridge; the Noctambules and Muse,
artistic cabarets, begin. No one pulls
on white gloves. No one sits in a stall
before ballet. Toasts and blessings
are delivered in the Cafe Harcourt, mad
measures performed at Bullier's; Paul
and Pierre, wild lights of the Latin
quarter, rejoice. Both love to clothe
themselves in corduroys and wear ties
and capes that fly. Both are given to
dancing down the street, arm in arm,
linked to CASTOR and Georges, an amaz-
ing row. Both prefer song to study,
books to books, pipes to pens and night
to day.
