without losing track Of them. Occa-
sionally he would lose them for 9 day.
and, finally, after fifteen days in the
saddle, he could find no trace OF the
outfit. At Green River, Wyo., however,
he learned that an outfit had arrived
at a ranch sixty miles north Of that
place. Suspecting that It was the one
he vas looking for he secured a guide
and set out for the place. They ar
rived at the ranch between 2 and 3
o'clock I'm the morning. Davis insist
ed on the guide staying in the back
ground and guarding the saddle horses
while he went to the house. A knock
on the door was responded to by a
man who partly opened 1t and Inc
quired what was wanted. Davis in
quired for the FIVE men, but was told
that they were not there. The ranch
owner then talked in an unusually
loud voice and insisted on keeping 1t
up In spite Of a warning to keep quiet.
Davis finally felled him with a blow
Of his revolver just as his wife ap-
peared. She was threatened with
death unless she kept quiet and was
ordered to tell where the men were.
She admitted that they we're sleeping
in a haystack about 200 yards from the
house. Davis went to the place de-
seribed and found them asleep. He
awoke them with a command to hold
up their hands. There was a lively
skirmish, resulting in one Of the men
being killed outright, two severely
wounded, and two escaping in their
stocking feet. All the horses were re-
covered and the entire outfit taken to
Green River. On arriving at that point
and before the horses were taken care
OF Davis learned OF two men on their
way to town who we're in their stock
ing feet. He concluded to keep a
watch for their arrival, but before
leaving the business part Of the town
he discovered his men in a restaurant
He covered them with a brace Of re-
volvers and made them prisoners, The
horsethieves were taken to Sidney and
we're sentenced to the p%enitentiary.
They we're the first criminals Of the
kind ever caught in that vicinity who
escaped hanging.-Utica Globe.

watching p Game nt tho nmiard-Room
Of che waldorf
White It IS pretty generally known
that there are many clever billiard
and pool players among the women Of
the city. and the skin Of several Of
these Is q matter Of gossip IN the
social circles in which they move,
there is but one place where they are
privileged to play in public, says tho
New York Times. This Is in the bill
Hard room Of the Waldorf, and the ap-
pearance Of a party Of ladies playing
pool with their escorts is generally a
cause for a display Of rather well-bred
curiosity. Quite recently in a party Of
four, two OF whom were ladies. there
was an exhibition that called forth the
manifest approval Of quite a party Of
ladies' who were watching the game.
One Of the players was a miss who was
hardly more than twenty, neatly gown
ed, and with her hair dressed in the
severe style of the ancient Greeks that
artists so much admire. As the game
progressed It became her turn to break
the balls. 1t was a game Of fifty points
and she announced her intention Of
pocketing a named ball In the upper
left hand corner pocket. The shot was
true, the ball fell into the designated
pocket, and a second fell in the side
pocket. The break was a good one,
and then n after another she drove
the balls into the pockets until there
was but one left. This was in a bad
spot, so that the only possible shot
was a side pocket after playing twice
across the table. Nothing daunted. tho
miss called the shot, played deliber-
ately, and made it as cleverly as De
ORC could have done. She had cleaned
the table without a miss, and as the
last shot was made the throng watch
ing her broke into applause in spite
Of themselves as a recognition due the
young woman with whom they had 10
acquaintance. Such as knew her per-
sonally Of course congratulated her.
The player was a debutante Of the
Chicago season, moving in the most ex-
elusive circles, and the daughter of one
Of the most daring operators on the
Board of Trade, a mar who counts his
wealth in the millions and whose name
commands respect in the highest bust
ness circles.

Advertising pays.
W. L. Douglas is going to increase
the capacity Of his factory to 5000
pairs Of shoes per day. The addition
will add 10000 square feet Of space for
manufacturing purposes. At the same
time a new 400 horsepower engine and
an additional $50 horsepower boiler
will be installed, which will afford ade-
quate power for the present and an
other addition to the factory, which
will no doubt be necessary later on.
When the factory starts up the first
Of July it win be on an output Of 500
dozen or 5000 pairs Of shoes per day,
and the weekly pay roll, exclusive Of
Office help, superintendent, foremen,
etc, will be $22,O o per week. The
Douglas statesmen on the road are SELL
ing rs per cent more, goods than last
season. The increased sales is the di-
rect result of good shoemaking and ex-
tensive advertising. The advertising
expenditure Of Mr.. Douglas is now
larger than at any period of his busi-
ness, and this is to be still further in
creased. Beginning this week half
page advertisements of the Douglas
shoe will appear in all the principal
newspapers Of the large cities, as well
as such papers as the Youths Compan-
ion.-Brockton, Mass, Times.

WiIheImina

So far Queen Wilhelmina has inner
tied nom Of the uneasiness popularity
supposed to accompany a crown. The
fearless way in which she drives about
the unguarded streets or slips away
for a week with o favorite lady-in-
waiting furnishes considerable food
for reflection, also a sharp contrast to
the present lives of the other young
queens OF Europe. The czarina,
often called the sad-faced empress, !"
does not dare to put her foot outside
the palace doors without a heavy
guard; within it she only knows how
many hours are spent in terror for the
safety of her consort and the little
arehduchesses. Queen Helen of Italy
is scarcely to be envied at the moment
OF a freshly-dfscovered plot to blow up
the Qnirinal.
While rulers of vaster empires are
~shudderlng with fear, Hollands queen
goes shopping, skating, riding or
walking at will. When courtiers less
sanguine, perhaps wiser than she,
demonstrate with their sovereign she
has ready always the same answer. II

that her majesty is Dutch in every
fiber, that she loves her people, and Of
this they are well aware, down to the
poorest fisherman. They have seen
her and they know their queen from
one end of Holland to the other, for
every year she visits every town in
her small realm and talks to its in
habitants in person Thus up to the
present Queen Wilhelmina has been
able to join with her responsibilities

Horace oroeloy's ProdlralIty.

friends. He loaned thousands Of dol
lars to a ~scapegrace son Of Commodore
Vanderbilt, and when Vanderbilt APP

closed the conversation by saying he
did not expect the commodore to pay
the loan. In one Of the many CONVEX
sations I had with him in his dingy Of

tured to suggest that he was a more
generous giver than his means justi-
fed, to which he answered: We'll, I
