MISS LUCILLE MULHALL,

against. To decline, pointed out the
visitors, would be ungracious not alone
to the territory, but to its most distin-
guished guest. Governor Roosevelt's
visit was an event OF the highest i'm
portance. The festival was patriotic
one. II celebrated the country's VIC
tory In war. And without Miss Lucille
Mulhall, Oklahomas peerless cowgirl,
1t would be inadequate.
This appeal to her patriotism con-
quered Mrs Mulhall, and she consent
ed to her daughters appearance for
this occasion only. Lucille, overjoyed,
went into training and was delighted
to find that her term In the scholarly
shades of the convent had not lessened
her skill with the lariat and rifle. 1t
was her last chance and she meant to
make the most of 1t. In the fall she
will return to the convent in st. Louis
and in course Of time. IL her mothers
hopes be fulfilled, she will be too dig
nified a young lady to engage in any
more boisterous diversions than a CO.
tillion.
But she will never forget the proud
moment when, flushed with victory,
she was presented to Governor Roose-
welt, who bowed to her tremendously
and told her that not Rough Rider
in his famous troop could have done
better than she.
The Mulhall ranch is on Beaver
creek, fifty miles from Oklahoma City.
It's owners are of Southern family
and have imported with them. into the
solitudes most of the refnements of
civilization. In the drawing room of
the homestead, for example, Is baby
grand piano on which the mother and
daughters play classical music. They
are environed with books and period
icals and their conversation shows
that exile on the prairie does not pre-
vent them from taking a lively inter-
est in the thought and culture of the
day
Mr.. lack Mulhall, the father Of the
family, is the general live stock agent
of the st. Louis and San Francisco
railroad, but the ranch is his own and
little Miss Lucille Is his mainstay in
.ts management.
In earlier years 1t was her privilege
to claim every yearling calf that she
had without assistance roped and
branded with her initials 81. M"
This system worked very well for
time, but Lucille's ambition increased
with her skill and he: private herd
kept pace with both. The climax came
when, during a short absence OF her
father, she roped and branded twenty
of the finest and widest steers on the
ranch. Wishing to avoid bankruptcy,
Mr., Mulhall made haste to fefsal the
law.
Miss Agnes Mulhall, the efdler, daugh-
ter, is as accomplished Tsfehwoman
as her little sister and Is Also fine
musician and elocutieniss. She is best
known for her championship of the
Dalton gans of outlaws, whom she be-
lieves to have better qualities than
they are credited with-and better. she

Profits Forbidden.

In considering bill granting the
English City of Rochdale authority to
5build and operate municipal tram
ways, the Police and Sanitary COM
mittee of the House of Lords. acting
ION it's own motion, recently added an
amendment forbidding the applica-
ftion of any profits from the undertake
ling to the general expense of the city,
for to any purpose other than the
needs of the service and the reduction
,of fares. This action was not without
one or two legislative presidents and
,accords with the prevailing practice of
Glasgow and NEST other British mu-
inequalities in their municipal trad
ing" enterprises.

law who hunt them. The Dalton,
brothers stopped at the Mulhall ranch
one night and asked for nights lodg-

iy as II they had been bank presidents.
She played. sang, recited and con-
versed on topics far removed from
their crime-stained and harassed lives.
The outlaws We're captivated and soft
ened. They had probably never met
more cultured woman before; they
had certainly never been entertained
with the same delicacy and considera-
ton.
They treated Miss Mulhall with in.
finite respect and departed in the
morning with many expressions Of
esteem and gratitude. On her part.
the impression from the encounter was
such favorable one that she will not
hear word said against the Daltons.

A yoluminOus Bill.

The most voluminous bill ever be-
fore congress is undoubtedly that pro-
viding a civil government for the ter=j
ritory of Alaska. AS filed in the state
department, 1t makes 2S4 pages Of
printed parchment. For convenience
in handling the sheets were not fast
ened together in form, as Is the Gus
tom, but were divided into six parts
and each of the six parts was placed
in a thin wooden box. Five Of these
coverings were each fastened with the
traditional red tape, while the sixth,
which contained the concluding pages
of the bill, to which the president af-
fixes his signature, was provided with
a sliding top so that its contents could
be easily removed.

Field Glasses Endanger Officers.

In spite Of the many precautions
taken by the English In South Africa
with regard to dressing their officers ir
exactly the same fashion as their men.
so as to avoid the Boer sharpshooters
picking them out and shooting them.
the casualties among the officers have
by no means been diminished. The
reason for this Is that the enemy's
practiced eye has discovered that field
glasses are used only by those in
command, and as the suns rays prac-
tically heliograph to the sharpshooters
when glittering on the glasses the po-
sition of the British officers, the dan
ger to them remains the same. This
is how the earl of Airlie met with his
death. not by stray or chance bullet,
but by a regular shower of lead shot at
him through the reflection Of the solar
rays onto his field glass. 1t is claimed
that when Sir George Colley lost his
life on that fatal crest of Majuba hill,
which proved too hot place for the
English years ago. the bullet which
killed him drove some Gf the glass
from his military telescope into the
wound. from which 1t would appear
that field glasses were even then

italy Imports Coal.

1t is well known that Italy has,
with the exception Of low class coal
fields in Elba, no coal production, but
is Obliged to import all the coal for
railroads and factories from Germany
and England. The duty on coal in
Italy is also so high that it is almost
impossible to import it. Now comes
the news that French engineers have
just discovered valuable anthracite
coal fields in Piedmont and Liguria.
The discovery is all the more import
ant, because the Italian navy in case
of war would be entirely dependent on
foreign countries for coal-E. II. l..

their influence with the mandarin. By
a concession on the part of the gov

rank which gives them the right to
plead a case before mandarin. 1t has
been said that this right was abused
to such an extent that the people re
volted. "If man did anything for

on the subject, 'he would go to 3

In return the missionary would plead

To Keen HnYs OF the Strcets.

Stockholm, Sweden has found a way
to keep it's public school boys off the
streets after school hours. year ago
school principals were instructed to
encourage the gathering of pupils in
the public parks after school hours for
the purpose of playing outdoor games,
and several of the larger boys in eacl
school were officially selected to lead
the games. The innovation proved pop
ular and many boys who formerly
were in the habit of spending their
late afternoons smoking cigarets ana
learning bad habits on the street cor
ners may now be seen each evening
playing baseball, football, and other
athletic games. The board Of educa-
ton of Stockholm thinks so well OF the,
experiment that it has recently APP
pointed three men teachers to the po-
sitions of superintendent of outdoor
exercise. 1t will hereafter be their
duty to get together all pupils who are
willing at the close Of school and lead
them to the parks, where, under the
auspices of the board, games .'ill be,

tered this country through the port Of

short of $4,000. The noteworthy and
not altogether agreeable difference be-

THAT of -.4irty years ago is that now
most of the newcomers are from
southern and eastern Europe, while
they used to be from western and
northern Europe.
