Special Dispatches to the HERALD.
BOWIE, Ariz., April 1I.-While
rumors that one o! the posses now on
the trail Of the bandits in the noun
tains south of here has met the quarry,
nothing definite can be obtained. No

the fugitives, it is only a question Of
time until something happens.
THREE POSSES IN THE FIELD.

outlaws can escape.
DETERMINED OFFICERS
BISBEE, Ariz, April 11.-No report
has as yet been received from Sheriff
White or the Wells Fargo posses
now in the field searching for the AL
word gang of train robbers and mur-

THE CORDIAL WOMAN

Is Rare, for Women Are Slaves of
Conyent ionality.
Sometimes, as we hurry along the
crowded streets we meet the woman
who understands the knack of the cor
dial bow. We smile back at her, and
are glad that we have met her, even
though a crowd separated us from her.
There is so much in her bow. 1t says
as plainly as words possibly could: 1T
Is such pleasure for me to see you,
even though it is just for a second"
And the best part of 1t all is that she
is sincere in the impression she wishes
to convey, for be 1t said right here and
now, the cordial woman Is the sincere
woman. The cordial woman Is the
kind-hearted woman, the woman who
likes to put people at their ease. And
one never finds cordially and sar-
casm coupled in the same woman. |
have made note of the lack of cor
diality in wonderland there is lack
and have quite come to the conclusion
that the because of it all lies in the
IdCt JnaL WOHanklnu Is DOnu Save TO
conventionality. Many times she will
not be as frankly cordial as her heart
prompts her to be because of that grim
old fear of being misunderstood" A
regard for conventionality is a good
thing-provided it is not carried too
far 1t is not unwomanly or unmaid-
emily to be honestly cordial. There are
some women, that you and have met,
who pride themselves upon their abil-
ity to keep people at a distance"
Some one may have preached you lit
tie sermon about how necessary and
beautiful is "poise of manner in a wo-
man." But poise of manner does not
mean, or should not mean, the sitting
of all sincere emotion, says writer In
the New York Tribune. Take care
lest in cultivating poise you drop into
the habit of Indifference. / grant you
that sometimes Indifference saves one
lot of petty cares that interest will
bring about, but somehow a woman
seems the happier when she is inter
ested in the comings and goings and
savings and doings of others,

IMMENSE EARNINGS
occurred By Paderewsid From Ninety 81

occurred By Paderewski From Ninety. SIX
Concerts In This Country.
1gnace Paderewski has three more
concerts to give, and it Is estimated
that the gross receipts from his tour
this year will amount to about $500 900,
says the New York Sun. This Is
$4,000 more than he earned on his
last trip, and the experience proves the
Gallacy of the prediction that It would
never be possible for him to repeat
here the wonderful experiences of that
tour When he sails away on the
Oceanic he will have given ninety-six
concerts in all and have travelled
$4,000 miles. Only one projected con-
cert was not given. Sacramento was
the solitary city which refused to take
any interest in Paderewski, and the
concert was abandoned there on ac-
count of the small advance sale. Else
where the pianist had good fortune to
compensate for this. In Austin, Texas,
he gave a concert that earned him
$4,000, and few days afterward the
greater part Of the town was destroyed
by the bursting of the dam. If M.
Paderewski's itinerary had been a
little differently arranged the accident
might have happened before he ar
rived and the $1,000 might never have
been his. The pianist Travelled again
in a special car wasting little time
between the different cities and omit
ting to give daily concert only when
1t was not possible to make connec-
tons. II there had been towns enough
he would have given daily recital
AS 1t was he remained most OF the
time in his car, with piano on board,
on which he played daily and frequent
ly late into the night. He sleeps bet
ter now than he used to, but still
smokes cigarettes uninterruptedly, and
The most important duty OF his imme
liate suite on the train, which COM
brised only the persons necessary for
the trip, was to play cards with him
until the pianist felt as If sleep were
possible.

When Senator Quarles OF Wisconsin.
new man in public life. was stu'
dent at Racine college. he had for q
classmate young man who was more
attentive to the pleasures of fishing
than he was to his studies. He always
relied upon Quarles to coach him at
recitations. One of the requirementJ
was an original essay from each menu
Der OF the class once fortnight. The
piscatoral student had drawn on
Quarles until that worthy thought II
time to call halt. and one day he re-
fused. His chum had big fishing
expedition on, and pledged earnestly
for one more essay. What do get?',
asked Quarles. Half the fish," was
the reply. "All right" said Quaries.
"I'll help you out once more" On the
afternoon for essays the fisherman
student took his place. and when he
was called he stood and read In the
most solemn manner "Lochiel's Warn
ing" His voice never changed from
start to finish Lochiel and the Wizard
were one and the same to the reader.
The class suppressed its laughter, see
ing that the professor never changed a
muscle. After the reading the profess
sor asked: Mr.. A.. do you wish the
class to understand that you offer this

tirely So" was the reply. There Is a
