his head bowed down and his eyes to-

Six weeks later the salon closed One

THEORY OF MURDER.
Treatment of Animals an Index in the
Criminal Instinct.

criminal Instinct.
According to an ingenius statisti-
clan who has been at work on the sub
ject ever since the assassination of
King Humbert of Italy, the greatest
number of murders is likely to be COM
mitted in that country in which ami
mails are treated with the most cruelty.
He claims too that comparatively few
murders are comitted in those coun-
tries in which societies for the protec-
ton of animals flourish Out of every
million inhabitants, he says, there are
in England and Ireland only six muir
derers; in Germany, IL; in Belgium,
IA; in France IS; in Austria, %; in
Hungary, 81; in Spain, SO, and in
Italy, 95. These figures, he maintains,
are just what might be expected. In
no country, he says, are animals
treated with more kindness than in
Great Britain and with more cruelty
than in Italy, and the treatment ac-
corded to them in the other countries
may fairly be gagged according to the
number of murders committed in each.
At the same time this statistician, who
is a German. and an influential mem
Der of the Berlin Society for the Pro-
lection of Animals, admits that climate
is considerable factor in this matter.

mails In arizona.
A lar ge number of bears have been
driven out of the San Francisco noun
tains in northeastern Arizona by the
cold, and have migrated south into
the hills and canyons around Blue riv-
er. affording sport for the cowboys of
that section. The maneuvers of herd
of 100 bears were watched from a peak
overlooking Blue river a few days ago
by posse of we1l-known cowboys,
composed of Nels Wilson, Rawley
West. Buck" Davis and several 9TH
ers. Shortly before coming upon the
herd they had encountered bunch of
five bears and killed four, but the 9TH
er escaped after a chase. Their am
munition was spent on the fourth
bear and the caqueros started out to
rope" the fifth The roping of bear,
mountain lion and even deer is a
favorite pastime of the Arizona cow
boy, and at the same time affords
test of his accuracy with the rope and
the speed and activity of his horse,
says the San Francisco Chronicle. He
seldom misses a throw when the
animal is within range, but in the
roping of bear not only must the cow
boy be successful in placing the moose
about the bears neck, but he must
draw it taut before the willy brute
shakes it off. On this occasion the
boys followed their quarry through
mesquite shrubbery, and several
times when it appeared on an oren
they tossed the 1asso about the ami
mails neck The bear as frequently
stopped, obtained a little slack and
neatly through off the moose with his
paw. The cowboys suffered the dis
grace of losing their animal, three
lariats and their temper, but they re-
turned to Stafford, a small community
in the mountains, with four skins and
a wonderful account of herd of Ari-
IONA bears. Cowboys from the sur
rounding hills are contemplating a
rodeo and are gathering for a big bear
hunt. Little ammunition will be taken
along, for the cowboy as a rule, who
stoops to shoot a bear is regarded
no better than the hunter who revels
in pot Shots and the vaquero who
returns without having successfully
| roped several bears will be in disgrace.

The Frame in Mourning.
BY MAURICE MoNTEGUT.


(Copyrighted.1s 1900. by Daily StorylPub Coz
Sad with a poignant sadness was
that great frame Of gold, draped with
a large piece of crepe in the middle
of a panel surrounded by groups OF
joyous peasants and gayly colored
landscapes. On the day of the open
ing of the salons exhibition of paint
inss the crowd thronged before the
frame in mourning from which looked
a portrait of a beautiful woman with a
sweet face.
The story of the portrait and it's
frame ran from mouth to mouth.
1t was the portrait of Madame Hol-
ling, wife of the celebrated artist. She
had died several days before the open
ing of the salon, and it was his crushed
life full of despair that the artist
showed in exhibiting this memorial
of his happiness and misery.
Already past middle age he had
loved with doting love that splendid
creature with deep eyes and locks as
resplendent as FURNISHED gold. Five
years of marriage had not diminished
his autumnal passion. Holling loved
his wife with his eyes, with his heart.

Then one evening a cold wind car
! ried her away; she who had been SO
| full of life was chilled in death In
the morning she had sung joyously.
In the evening she was rigid and cold;
| she slept in the eternal slumber.
The despair of the painter had been
| terrible. He sobbed for hours by the
| side of her bed. All Paris was moved
| by the hopeless grief of one OF her
| dearest and most illustrious children
| But caring nothing for their sympathy
| or pity and isolated in his anguish
| since the tragic moment, he had gone
! through his existence seeing and hear
| ing nothing, inconso. alb e and not wish
| ing to be consoled.
Every morning as soon as the salon
opened Holling appeared ghostlike In
the gallery where hung the frame OF
gold with the drapery of crepe With
arms crossed, twenty PAGES before the
painting, he remained for an indefinite
] period contemplating the smiling Wis
age of that young beauty, which was
all that remained of her. He would
say to himself:
| Yes, yes, it is you, it is indeed you

STOCK MEN ALL GOING.

The fourth annual convention of the
National Live Stock Association at
Salt Lake promises to be the largest
and most interesting gathering OF
stockmen ever held in this country.
Salt Lake City is going to cover itself
with glory in the manner in which the
visitors will be entertained. The con-
hall of the Mormon church and a grand
concert will be rendered the delegates
and visitors in the Tabernacle on the
first evening The programme Of the
entertainment committee contemplates
events for each evening of the conven-
ton and after the convention adjourns,
there are excursions to the mines and
elsewhere. Colorado is going to send
a large delegation and the Denver &
Rio Grande railroad will run a specia1
train, leaving Denver Sunday, January
Is, which will reach Salt Lake City
the next day in time for the committee
meetings. The fare for the round trip
will be SIS from Denver, Colorado
Springs or Pueblo and one fare from
other points in the state. Those con-
templating going should engage sleep
ing car accommodations at once. Write
to S. x. Hooper, general passenger
agent, Denver, or see any Rio Grande
ticket agent. It will be a delightful
midwinter trip, and no stockman who
is interested in the industry can at
ford not to attend the meeting.
