The Gallo they have paid for,
With "Au reVoir. "Adieu ma chere.'
For that's what French was made for,
But when 4 crony takes your hand
At parting to address YOU
He drops all foreign lingo and
He says. Good y-God bless your
This seems to me sacred phrase,
With reverence impassioned-
a thing come down from righteous days
Quantity but nobly fashioned;
1t well becomes an honest face,

sci remain for a time in Venezuelan
waters to give support to any rep
sensations United States Minister Loo
mis- may have to make to the N~enezue-

ing crew aboard. She is now at La
Guiria, just where she is wanted to
meet the minister's demands.
The house passed the Indian and

DEATH OF COLONEL LIONEL
CHAPMAN IN TRANSvAAL

Mrs. Fred Douglas-Willan has re-
ceived a letter containing the news of
the death of her brother in South Al
RIGA. He was Colonel Lionel Chapman
of the Royal artillery, and died in Pre-
toria On Dec. 3 of enteric fever. He
was a valued officer in the queens SER
vice, and the dispatches from the
Transvaal in the most trying period
of the Boer war commended Colonel
Chaman highly for his able and in
trepid leadership. He had been select
ed by Lord Kitchener for promotion
to the command of the entire artillery
branch of the army in South Africa,
but he was taken sick before the hon.
or was conferred upon him. Colonel
Chapman's wife, now in Woolwich,
England, received ~cablegrams from
both Lord Roberts and Lord Kitchen
er, expressing their keen regrets for
his untimely death. Colonel Chapman
was so years old.

Shafroth's Arid Land Bill.

Washington, Dec. 20.-The bill in
troduced by Representative Shafroth
on the opening day of the session for
the construction of reservoirs in the
arid land states and for the disposal
of the public lands to be reclaimed
thereby is now in the hands of the
geological survey, having been refer
red to it by the interior department.
which received it from the house com
mittee on public lands. The survey
will make a report soon, and Mr.. Shat
roth has hope that it will be favora,
BILE.
He has been asked for suggestions.
1t is his opinion that if the bill sue
ceeds at this session, it will go through
by being attached to some one Of the
appropriation bills in the senate. The
bill provides that not more than ST.
900, 900 shall be expended in any one
of the states to be considered as arid
land states in contract for its construc-
ton and completion of reservoirs and
irrigation bitches connected Herewith.

Concern is Not Able to Fill All Its

New York, Dec l9.-It is stated on
very high authority here that the Colo
RADIO Fuel and Iron company is receiv-
ing more orders than it is able to take
are of, and that output is only limited
by capacity. 1t is too much to expect,
however, that the October showing
can soon be duplicated, as that month
cleared off the steel rail orders taken
at the high prices, and hereafter earn
ings will defect the price of s26 per
ton for rails. 1t is, however, confident
ly asserted hat the price of s26 will
be the lowest we shall see for a long
time. and that the earnings of the
Colorado Fuel and Iron company, bas-
ed on this price, will be very satisfac-
tory. though mex year such phenomen-
al results as have been shown this year
can hardly be looked for.

fote Aforementioned Britain is
Likely to Accept the Treaty Even
With its Radical Amendments.

Washington, Dec. 2O.-After spend
ing the greater part of the past week
in considering the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty for u modification OF the Clay
tOn-Bdwer convention OF 1850, the sen
ate to-day consumed only one hour and
ten minutes in amending it, and ratify-
ing it as amended. During this time
there ~ere several roll calls ami vivi
voCe votes. The first five roll calls
were OF amendments offered by fndi-
viduai senators, and the last one on

lions, were voted down by majorities

time for voting arrived, listening to
speeches by Senators Thurston, Gal
lingeu Wolcott and Bard, explanatory
of their attitude. Senator Bard con
tended for the adoption or his amend
ment giving preference to American
shis passing through the proposed Mic
araguan canal.
Senator Gallinger spoke in defense
of the treaty as it originally came from
the executive.
Wolcott said the original .~Haty
would be satisfactory to him. but add
ed hat he considered the agreement
as it has been and was about to be
amended. preferable to no treaty at
all.
Senator Thurston strongly advocated
the treaty, saying that as Great Brit
ain governs a great portion of North
America it was right that that country
should have some consideration.
Senator Lodge, who. as a member of
the committee on foreign relations. has
DiiotSu lie treaty luIouSu lHt sSIdte
since the death of Chairman Davis,
lost no time in demanding that voting

The first roll call was upon Se>atpr
Elkins' amendment declaring that
nothing contained in this treaty shall
be construed to prevent the Unite
States from securing at any time
sufficiently sovereignty over the same

Sheriff Yund left on No. 4 this after
neon for Buffalo, Wyo., to bring back
from there a negro named Andrew
May, who is wanted here on he
charge of horse stealing. The capture
of the prisoner was due to the shrewd
and energetic action of Sheriff fund,
who is keeping after the evil doors
even in the closing days of his term
of office.
May had Deer in the vicinity of Red
Buttes for almost a year, working part
of the time as a cowboy, part of the
time breaking horses and again doing
odd jobs of various kinds. He disap-
peared suddenly about the first of De-
cember, and some suspicion was ex-
cited by the abruptness of his depart
ure. On inquiry it vas soon dis
covered that he had sold two horses
that did not belong to him. One was
the property Of William Doyle and the
other of Frank Erwin. The case vas
reported to Sheriff Yund. who before
long, got an inkling of the direction
May had taken. He followed the clue
and located the fellow in Buffalo, Wyo.
Yesterday afternoon he received from
the sheriff of Johnson county a tele-
gram reading as follows: Have ar
rested your man, Andy May. When
will o come for him." Sheriff Yund
has not yet fully recovered from an
attack of quinsy, but he, nevertheless,
left on No. 4 this afternoon for Buffalo.

FAMOUS CONVICT SHIP
AThe Chamber of Horrors" Which Wa
 Isnilt Hundred Years Ago.

One of the curiosities in England at present is the old convict ship Success, which has recently been converted into a museum, or into what foreign jour- nalist style "a chamber of horrors. She was built no years ago, and her first years were spent in cruising be- tween the East Indies and England. h 1929 the British admiralty bought and stationed her in the waters of wester' Australia. Capt. Stirling was then ln command, and from his Scottish birth place khe town of Perth in Australia takes it's same. From 1S47 to 1851 tha Success piled between London ana East Adelaide. On her last trip shs had on board several hundred immI- grants who intended to seek tueir for tunes in the newly discovered gold fields. During the voyage the captain, the other officers, and the entire crew became seized with the same gold fever and the result was that when land was reached they, too, left the ship and went off to seek their fortunes The Success was next used to transport criminals of the deepest dye to Var Diemen's Land, as Tasmania was then called, and she also served as q floating prison for especially dangerous erin1- inals. The vessel then became popu- larly know mas "The Hell of the Ocean," title which was evidently we'll deserved. Old records show that some awful scenes took place on her. The prisoners, cells were in two tiers under the deck, and were so small that inmates could hardly move in them. Moreover, they were SD fashioned that they could be made light or dark, and the most insubordinate prisoners were always placed in the latter. These curious cells, many of the old instru- ments of torture and number of wax figures representing famous criminals are now being exhibited on the Suc- cess, and are attracting crowd of sightseers. The old ship is at present in Leith Harl.or, in scotland.-New York Herald.

SUICIDE AND CIVILIZATION.
The More Progress the More There Is
 of SeIf-Destruction.

Felix Adler. the New York ethical clergyman, says of suicides: Suicides are op the increase in the present cen tury. They have tripled in number in the last one hundred years. It is the disease of civilization, increasing in numbers with the progress of eiViliza- ton. Germany, where civilization has reached the highest point on earth, is the blaekest spot in this respect. It is the same story as you proceed from the less to the more liberal creed Where the population of a community is made up purely of the Russian church there are 40 suicides to the mil- lion; where the people are purely of the Catholic faith there are 58 to ths million; in Protestant communities there are 190 to the million. External conditions appear to have much to do with the act. There are more suicides fn wet weather than in dry, more by night than by day, more on moonlight nights than on dark nights. and there are three times more men to die by their own acts than women. I can- not sit in judgment on those who have done this deed; cannot enter into their inner life. But I warn all who think of freeing themselves from this life that they have no right to do 1t, The duty of progress eompels Us to remain-we must stay. We are here to solve the problems of life, not to eyads them. We are here to fulfill our task, not to leave 1t unfinished. We must make the soul victorious over the senses, and we do that not by evading pain but by conquering it.
