HIS ADVENTUROUS CAREER.
stepfather of James Boys Experienced
Many Thrilling Episodes.

The acceptance of DR.. Reuben
Samuels, stepfather of Frank and
jesse James, as a priavte patient at
Hospital for the Insane No. 2 in St.
Joseph, and the announcement that
his condition is such that he is on tho
verge of collapse, recalls several
events of interest in the early lives
OF the James boys and their com
patriots.
DR.. Samuels was often forced to
play an important part in the es-
capades of Jesse James, although
sometimes unwillingly. One of the
exciting events in his life occurred In
1862. when he was strung up to \
tree by the federal troops and LETT
for dead
The tocsin of war had Just been
sounded and the terrible Quantrell
had made his first raid through north
west Missouri. He attracted maav
young men with fighting disposition
to his standard, among them be .ng
Frank James. Jesse would have
gone, too, but he was only IA Years
old, and was rejected by Quantrell be-
cause of his tender years. But Jesse
did good service as a courier, AMI
often bore important information con-
corning the location of the federal
troops to the Quantrell camp.
Jesse's activity and the decided ex-
pressions frequently made by DR..
Samuels, who was then living on the
farm in Clay county. which he left
few days ago. so angered the federal
troops that it was determined to make
an example of the family. One night
in June, 1862, company OF militia
men approached the Samuels home |
stead, which is near Kearney, in Clay |
county. and informed the doctor that
they were there for business. He was
taken unceremoniously from The
house, securely tied by heavy rope

There is mistaken impression that
hockey is intended to supersede basket
ball. This is not so. Basket ball is
game for the few and exceptionally
strong, while hockey is game for the
many of average strength. Miss Ber-
enson said that, If the girls were to
seek to play basket ball in such num-
bers as they ask to learn hockey, three
gymnasiums like the present one
would be needed. In fact, the present
gymnasium, though still called the
new gymnasium, Is already middle
aged, or rather old, in that it is out
grown. A game, therefore, that leads
the students to get their exercise out
of doors is doubly welcome. The game
can be played very late in the season.
1t is said even that it is played all
winter in England. The teams from
the several houses are already playing
matches, and there will, no doubt, be
many interesting tournaments. The
hockey sticks which are found salts

BIG FIRES.

The fire in Bergen on Sept. % de-
stroyed property valued at over 3,000,-
900 kroner. 1t broke out in the busi-
ness district at the wharves anu car
ried away whole square Of quaint old
warehouses, some of them dating back
to the days when Bergen was a Hansa
town. Strandgaden suffered most.
From the standpoint of students and
tourists, the destruction of the old
buildings is to be deplored, but while
the owners suffer a great loss for the
present, the new warehouses and
buildings will be much more satisfac-
tory and useful.
Kalundborg, Denmark, was partially
destroyed Sept. %. The fire broke out
in a sawmill and lumber yard. It
spread to some nearby warehouses
and eventually reached the business
houses on the main street, doing great
damage. The loss was not as great as
was originally reported, and will not
exceed 100000 kroner.

But Mrs. Samuels had followed at
safe distance, and as soon as the
militiamen had ridden away she
rushed to the rescue of her husband.
whom she cut down and nufsed back
to life. q
At one time a posse Of raiders set
fire to their house with balls of
turpentine.
The wanted men had made their
escape long before the coming OF the
citizens committee, and the only
members of the family at home were
DR.. and Mrs. Samuels, their S-year-Cld
son and daughter, Miss Susie. These,
with the old coiored servant, fought
the flames which the turpentine balls
had caused until they had them under
control.
At this moment one of the party
making the attack threw a hand
grenade into the room among the
badly frightened occupants and the
terrible explosion that followed gave
unmistakable evidence that the James
boys were not the only outlaws In
these parts at that moment. When
the sound of the explosion had died
away the means and cries from with.
in the house told the marauders of
the crime they had committed.
When lamp was lighted, DR..
Samuels found his S-year-old son in
the agonies of death, having received
a terrible wound in the side from the
explosion of the shell. Mrs. Samuels'
right arm had been shattered and
hung helpless at her side. II was
found necessary to amputate the
member.
When the detectives and citizens
posse realized what an inexcWsable
act they had been guilty OF they with
drew hastily, perhaps fearing that
sudden and sure retribution would
overtake them if they tarried near the
scene.

And they said, You'll never do it,
But we did
Spite of friction and of faction,
There was singleness of actic..

So we did.
When contention in the council of the
commonwealth was rife,
And the longfanned, smoldering EN-

At the sounding of the drum
Half the world cried, 'It has come!
Neither God, nor man, nor devil can

You can never, never do it."

Competition Of the West and Low
Freight Rates Severe On Eastern
Farmers-causes Of Depression In
the South.
Washington, Nov. 13-The indus
trial commission yesterday made pub
lie its review of evidence taken before
the commission on the subjects Of
agriculture and agricultural labor.
Among other subjects discussed is
that of agricultural depression, OF
which the commission speaks as fol
lows:
"The cause most often assigned fer
the depression Of agriculture in the
eastern states is the increased pro
duction due to the opening Of western
lands in advance of the natural de-
mand, especially through the agency
of liberal land laws and grants of land
in aid of railroad construction. The
competition of the west has been rem
dered especially severe by the policy
Of the railroads in making freight
rates relatively low for long distances.
The old staple products having thus
become improbable in the east, it has
been necessary for farmers to change
their methods and vary the character
of their crops, taking up especially
the culture of products which are not
easily transported long distances
Thus truck farming has largely super
seeded cereal growing along the At
lantic coast. but farmers in the north
Atlantic states now complain of the
severe competition of states farther
south in this industry, and much The
same may be said of fruit growing
Even so perishable a commodity as
milk is transported much longer dis
tances than formerly since the intro
ductiOn of refrigerator cars.
Another cause which several wit
nssses assign for the unsatisfactory
condition of agriculture in some parts
Of the country is the conservatism oil
the farmers, their lack of quick ad
| tustment to changed conditions, anL
lack of effective business plannins
and management. The farmers as
class have not kept up with the times
but have raised the same crops yea
after year without regard to change!
| in supply and demand. This undu,
conservatism and lack of managing
ability among farmers is especial!
| emphasized with reference to tn,
southern states, and is given as al
explanation of the too exclusive at
tehtion to cotton products prevailin;
there.
another cause assigned for agri
cultural depression in the south il
the scarcity of money, the difficult!
of borrowing on real estate securit,
and the consequent high rates of in
terest. It seems to be possible, how
ever. to borrow money in the south a
somewhat lower rates of interest thar
formerly. The ine1iciency of negr,
labor is assigned as another cause. o.
the other hand, it is affirmed tina
there is too much good and oheal
labor in the south. An abundance o
cheap labor is said to be unfavorabl,
to the success of agriculture, becaus,
it results in planting too large al
acreage, and in neglect of persona
attention by the planter.
Against the charge that farmers
are unduly conservative is put tn,
counter charge that they turn from
one crop to another without suficien
regard to the suitability of the soil, O
to the conditions of the market"
