time, from 1875 to 1854.

slight build and medium height, at
an early age he became one of the
most dreaded men of the Indian ma
tion, and was employed by the owners
of several large ranches because of
his reputation as the cold-blooded
shooter who never smiled. During
those times ranchmcn fancied that
they needed such bully as a sort of
a trademark.
Henry's first act was TO shoot three
men, who were mavercking cattle.
This made him bad man." and
gave him a reputation.
Later he practiced craftsmanship by
shooting two old Indians and squaw
in the Crow reservation. Soon after
this he was appointed marshal of
western Texas town. and while look

he was called upon by Petit from be-

doing so, Brown dropped fat to the
ground, at the same time pulling
six-shooter and shooting Petit square
between the eyes, just as Petit's shot
went over him.
At this time the town Of Caldwell,
southern Kansas, was in state of
cowboy terror. Three marshals had

Modern Moses created an enthusi-
asm for education that is pathetic,
writes Newell Dwight Hills, in Wom-
ans Home Companion. Recently for
eigner exclaimed: 1T is too late for
me to learn! But my children, they
shall not be ignorant!" Our working
people understand that so long as they
remain ignorant the ecclesiastical des-
pot will oppress them, the political des-
not will spoil them of their treasures,
the Industrial despot will tyrannize
over them. To escape oppression the
toiler becomes informed. Education
is making the poor mans muscle so
powerful that despots connot afford
iron enough to reach around his wrist.
To-day for the first time in history
knowledge is becoming universal. Agi-
tators are being succeeded by edu-
Gators. People see that intellect and
ability are the real creators of wealth.
Education is the modern Moses leading
the people out OF the wilderness into
the promised land of happiness and
plenty.

At Lakewood, n. j., there is a golf
club that plays at all seasons. One
day, says an eastern exchange, there
came to Lakewood from New York
two dignified politicians, who knew
nothing about golf. That afternoon
they were walking across field when
they came suddenly upon small red
flag stuck in the ground. 1t was golf
flag. but before they could investigate,
some small boys cried out: BLAST
blast! Look out for the blast!" The
two statesmen dropped their dignity
and took to their heels, and never
stopped running until they reached
the other side of a stone wall. When
they returned to their hotel the story
had preceded them, and they left for
home next day.

Everyone who carries stamps knows
what a nuisance il is to do so. The
conver,.n, stamps will stick
together. Special
''"'"pS' cases to hold them
and oiled paper to keep them apart,
with other devices, may be tried, but
they are inconvenient and unsa1sfac-
tory. The Washington Star says that
the third assistant postmaster general
is considering a plan TO save the an
noyance of stuck-together stamps.
The plan is TO bind the stamps in lit
tie books, with alternating leaves of
stamps and paraflin paper. the books
resembling somewhat the telegraph
frank books that are so common in
Washington and which may have sug-
gested the idea. The books will be
Of pocket size and will contain stamps
to the value of 81 cents. IS cents and
96 cents. The government will pay
two dollars a thousand for making
these books, and will charge an adj
vance of one cent each, which will yield
a handsome profit on the enormous
sales. The book containing 70 two
cent stamps and costing 25 cents would
probably be the most popular The
idea is a sensible one, and it is strange
that it had not been thought of be-
fore. The discouraging thing about
carrying one of these books, though,
is that the man who carries stamps is
always the victim of the man who
doesn't have any but wants to borrow.

Investigation of the causes, effects
and means of prevention of forest fires
in the west, will be
carried on by the
foreS'r' "orA government diyi-
sion of forestry next summer in Wash
ington. Oregon, California, Arizona,
New Mexico, Utah, Colorado, Wyom-
ing. Montana, Idaho, South Dakota.
Besides field study, designed chiefly 10
discover means Of preventing the evil,
the division is making historic rec
ord of all important fires which have
occurred in the United States since
1854. Although yet incomplete, says
the official bulletin, this indicates that
the annual recorded loss by forest
burnings i'm the United States is, at the
very lowest, $2O.OO0,OOO. 1t will prob
ably run far above this sum, as the Pa
cific coast states have been only par
tally examined. Accounts of over
$500 disastrous fires have been OBJ
tanned in the II states already ex-
amined. Michigan, Minnesota and
Wisconsin have suffered the most Sc
verely. These records are taken chiefly
from newspapers, and where it has
been possible to compare them with
the figures of practical lumbermen, it
has been found that the tendency of the
press is to underestimate the dam
age.
