Duke of Edinburgh, second son of the
Queen Of England, by reason of which
and other employment of importance, he
acquired a remarkably good reputation

THE LIBERTY coyeREss.

The Anti-1mperialists who are meet
ing in indianapolis have a rather at
tractivc name for their meeting. They
call it the Liberty Congress. The pro-
ceedings up to date indicate that it will
be real Liberty Congress so far as
liberty of speech is concerned. The talk
ers have opinions and they say what
they think. The tendency seems to be
to give Bryan whatever benefit there is
in the movement and If the decision is
to vote for Bryan he can stick another
feather in his cap and call himself a
great controller of conventions. How
the Anti-Imperialists can bring them
selves to vote for Bryan is one of the
curiosities of politics, but many of them
are evidently going to vote for him
whatever their convention decides
should be done. How important the
convention is cannot be told yet, but

THE WOLF CATCHER,

Wolves are rapidly increasing In num-
bers near Miller, S. D. The law of
bounty has not encouraged their kill
ing by the hunters. Now the stockmen,
alarmed at their increasing numbers,
are taking steps to rid the prairies of
them. Charles Carl, ranchman north
west of town, is the most successful
wolf catcher. He has pony trained in
the feat of leaping barb wire fences,
as most Of the ranches are so fenced.
When the wolf appears he mounts his
pony and starts after him. The wolf,
with an instinct that seems half hui
man, will make for the highest and
strongest fences, The pony will follow
with like human instinct, jumping the
fences and soon firing the wolf out. He
is then dispatched by the rider Of the
pony. 1t is often necessary to run an
old wolf ten to fifteen miles before tir-
ing him out-Trom The st. Paul Pr

HE WON THE SALOON.

Then Luck Turned Against the Count"
and He Lost the Place in Week
II see by the papers," said local
sporting man who formerly lived in the
west, that an old and one time noted
gambler, known as Count Boughman,
died recently at a sanatorium in South
ern California. I knew the Count
over twenty years ago in Colorado. He
was a well educated German, whose tt
tie was given him as joke and, be-
ing willing at all times to stake every
thing he had on a single turn, his his
tory was long succession of astonish-
ing ups and downs One of his most
picturesque adventures in that connec-
ton occurred at Leadville in rs or 70.
when the great silver boom was at its
zenith. The Count was just then in
one of his temporary periods of finan-
clal depression, and had walked into
camp in the wake OF small army Of
other adventures with lone half dol
lar in his trousers pocket. A little while
after his arrival he strolled into a big
saloon on the main street and noticed
the proprietor lounging at the bar,
playing idly with dice box TIL throw
you one for so cents said the Count
fishing out his solitary coin. All right,
stranger replied the saloon man, and
rolled out the dice. He lost, and in ten
minutes the Count by persistent
doubling stakes, was $40 or $50 ahead
At that juncture some friends passed
by and invited him to come along and
get some supper. Cant do it, boys
he replied, absorbed in the game, but
I'll wait here until you get back They
walked away, joking about man who
would rather gamble than eat and it
was upward of couple of hours before
they reappcared. The game was then
apparently over and the count was
leaning against the bar, alone. at the
same place they had left him. The other
man was waiting on customers. Wei,
how did you come out?' they asked
Pretty WE'LL said the Count; I won the
saloon They thought he was Joking,
but II was a simple statement of fact.
His phenomenal run of luck had stayed
with him, and the saloOnkeaper, getting
desperate under repeated losses, kept
raising the stakes until finally the en-
ire establishment changed hands. The
asst bet included the fixtures and IL
eense, and, when he won, the Count
took possession and hired the
ate proprietor as head bartender. The
