WILL UTILIZE PEAT BEDS.
William Stern of Philadelphia Ac. quires Valuable Property in
 Mexico.

The fuel question is always one of great importance at Mexico City, and during the past 25 years a number of companies have made futile att tempts to utilize peat, which is found in large quantities in the valley of Mexico Now William A. Stern, of Philadelphia, has acquired all prop erty rights in these peat beds, as well as concessions for laying electric wires from the peat beds to Mexico City and nearby cities. MT. Stern has left for Philadelphia to complete the details of plant to generate cleo tricity by burning peat. This is $ matter of vital importance to Mex ican industries, as coal costs at Mex leo City an average of $2o per ton, while the quantity of peat equivalent
 in heating value to a ton of coal can kA aaiivered for two dollars.

 When the news of Old Mats death became known everybody in NarbertE felt as if an old friend had gone from their midst, and it was determined to give Mat such funeral as never be- fore fell to the lot of eat. A small casket, lined with silk, was made and covered by silk coat made for the. purpose. Into this the battle-scarre6 body of Old Mat was reventially laid.
 The funeral ceremonies were held in the back parlor of the BrimIey house. hold. Harry Brimley delivered an ex. haustive eulogT over the remains, and then all hands retired to the cemetery situated in the backyard. In the cen. ter of the lawn a deep grave had beer dug, and around this the mourners ranged themselves. By John Calte1 and Harry NJ. Humes, who acted as pallbearers, the casket was lowered amid an impressive silence.
 The following day neat little stone was erected over Old Mats grave.

ssWell," he said, you'll have to stop the car and put me off. That's all.''
 Then he settled back doggedly and scowled. The controversy had attract ed great attention in the car. Every one was looking at the stranger, and man who sat across from him, think ing that the five-dollar bill was all the stranger had, gave the conductor a nickel for the fare and the other pas sengers took it for granted that the controversy was all settled
 But not so. The pig-headed young man arose with a grunt and again dug into his trousers pocket. This time he pulled out several American one-dollar bills. One of these he of- fered to the conductor.
 3'I got your fare,'' said the con ductor.
 .sNo, you haven't,' insisted the stranger. T haven't paid"
 sBut this man paid for you.''
 .'He's not me. Change the bill.''
 "I ain't got the change,' insisted the conductor.
 The man with the spats was getting red in the face. He offered the one dollar bill to the man who had paid his fare. The man would not take it.
 1T can pay my way!" exclaimed the stranger. Give me the change
 Haven't got any," said his bene- factor, with a grin. Its all right. Sit down.
 But the stranger would not He went from passenger to passenger, asking for change, poling his one-dol-. lar bill into their races. They all thought it was Canadian and exam ined it closely while the stranger rocked around the car.
 At the end of the line he found man who could give him four quarters for the bill. He offered quarter to the man who had paid his fare. The man would not take it. Then the stranger started up the line to get change for one of his quarters.
 At last he got five niclels. He gave one of them to his benefactor, drew a deep breath and sat himself down again, glaring at everyone. After two minutes thought he remarked:
 "I'm pretty pig-neaded when I get started.'
 No one in the ear undertook to deny this assertion.

to garrison of soldiers, he was made second lieutenant in the regular army few years later, being de- tached as a scout.
 When he was 20 years old he was ordered to report to Kit Carson, at the place where Sioux Falls, s. D., now stands, and with him proceeded westward to the Rockies. On the way they met trader known as "Old California Joe,'' and the trio hunted and traded for many long years.
 They fought in the Black Hawk war, in the early thirties. Patten, as stated, claims to have killed Black Hawk, and exhibits scar on his wrist as the last wound ever inflicted by the chief.
 A decade of wandering followed. Once Patten was bound to the stake with several others by the Sioux In dians. and would have been burned to death but for the timely arrival ot help. The side of his face still bears the mark of flames.
 The three men returned finally to the Rockies again, and trapped in the winter months. Once they were caught in snowstorm on hill. Pat ten remained on top and the other two proceeded down to the valley. While lie was gazing in an opposite direction from that taken by his com panions he saw a column moving slowly through the storm. He was una able to determine whether it con sisted of men or buffalo, and, as he tells the story, he called Kit Carson back.
 ''Kit came up the hill,'' he says, "and I showed him the column. He had pair of field glasses with him. and was able to make out that it was Q column of men"
 They hasteney to the strangers and found that they were a company of soldiers in command of Fremont
 He had been lost in the mountains for some time, and was short of pro- vision-.
 Finally Pattcn settled in Wisconsin and was married Hardly month later the civil war broke out, and he enlisted in the Third Wisconsin and served until the close of the war, be- ing, he states, chief of the United States scouts when the south gave up the struggle.
 For years he afterward led a wan dering life, as trapper and pros. pector.
 The umbrella hat, which excites so much curiosity, he invented while in Mexico.
 To-Day.
 The day is done-this peaceful day
 Recedes, to merge within the vast Gray banks of mist that stretch away Across the oceans of the past; But though it dies this day has brought And given to the world some gains, To grace and glorify somewhat
 As long man remains.
 The past has been that may stand
 Here gazing at the crimson sky Aslant above the fruitful land
 Whereon the mellow shadows lie; The troubled ages that are gone
 Had ghastly woes, that I might see This promise of fair days to dawn
 For all the world and me. --S. F. Riser, in Chicago Record Herald.

esNHR. HARRINGTON to see you,
 sir," announced the office boy.
 sShow him in," directed the mer- chant, 'tand, Dexter, see that we are not disturbed"
 "Good-morning," said Harrington, blandly, as he entered. "You wish to see me, your note said-" And the self possessed, fashionable man of the world regarded the merchant with slightly interested air.
 "Yes, l." and going to the window the merchant drummed absently on the glass. "Yes,'' he resumed, turning to his caller, "I-the fact is, Harring- ton, I was-in the conservatory last night and-quite accidentally, you un- derstand, heard your aVowal tony wife. Saw you kiss her as you held her in your arms, and-well, the usual love scene when affairs have reached cli- max"
 Only an instant did Harrington's self-possession desert him. Then he observed, carelessly: "Ah, rather un- fortunate. Too bad for you, too"
 The merchant sank into chair, his face growing more haggard. 'For Gods sake, Harrington" he groaned, "drop that cloak of indifference and be a man. I'll own that this affair has quite broken me up, butt want to do the right thing"
 ssDo the right thing" echoed Har- rington- May I ask what you"

 ''Then why the trouble of this inter- view?" asked Harrington, coolly.

FUNERAL FOR A, CAT.
NOId, Mat Was Buried in PennsyL vania with Impressive Ger
 emonics and Honors.

! z
 Did you ever hear of 9 cats funeralf Such occurrences are very rare, but at Narberth, Pa, the other week scores of people attended such ceremony over the remains of Old Mat, genera. village favorite.
 Old Mat had certainly earned as much right to be called "a well-knowr and old respected citizen" as many who walked on two legs less than he did. He was only cat, but by his con spicuous sagacity, his purring kind. ness and his undaunted courage he had gained the respect of every inhab. itant of Narberth and the surrounding country. Perhaps stray dogs learned to respect him most of all.
 George L. Brimley was nominal1y the owner of Old Mat, and he declares

KILLED BLACK HAWK
Some Strange Claims Made by an
 Old Army Scout.
Robert W. Patten Says He Saved Fre- mont from Starving to Death Life Full of Adventure,
 War and Romance.

Few careers have been more ad- venturous than that of Robert W. Patten, pathfinder and army scout, who recently settled at Seattle, Wash, to end his days.
 On the streets of Seattle Patten has become familiar as "the man with the umbrella hat" on account of the peculiar headgear he affects. The rigors of a constant outdoor life made it necessary for him to prevent sum strokes in summer and frozen ears in winter by protecting his head with a broad-brimmed hat, provided with flaps for winter wear.
 Scout Patten says he rescued John c. Fremont, the frontier pioneer, when Fremont lost his way in the Rocky mountains. That he was in the Black Hawk war with Kit Car- son and ended the chiefs existence with his own hand 70 years ago.
 His age he gives as 90. Notwith- standing this handicap, he wrote to President Mckinley when the Spanish American war became imminent and offered his services as a scout. He was then ST years old. He says he was United States chief of scouts in the civil war, and resigned at the close of the conflict in favor of Buff falo Bill.
 Patten's own story of his life is to the effect that he was born February. 24, 1911, in New York state, and ran away from home when nine years old, because of friction with his step mother. With the assistance of his grandmother he made his way to where Chicago now stands.
 For some time he lived with ss French trader, but was later adopted by Big John, chief of the Winnebago Indians.
 Later, when he was about 16 years old, he accompanied the tribe to the northern part of Wisconsin.
 Here bloody war was waged be- tween the Winnebagos and the Chip pewas, and Patten bears a scar on his head which he claims was received from tomahawk in one of their affrays.

THE PIG-HEADED MAN
He Gave an Exhibition of Himself
 on a Street Car.
First He Wouldn't Pay His Fare nns Then He Would, and Both Times Made Lot of Trouble for
 the Conductors.

He locked just as pig-headed as he turned out to be. There was no doubt about his being stranger in a strange land, for while his clothes were not rustic in appearance there was an un- familiar cut about them. And then he carried a trayeling bag and wore spats.
 When the conductor of the Fourth avenue car called for his fare, says the New York Sun, the stranger dug down into his pocket and drew out 9 bill. The man in blue, who bore on his right sleeve three gold service stripes as proof of wonderful for bearance with all kinds and condi tions of people, squinted at the bill, and shook hls head.
 ''That ain't no good in this coun. try he said.
 "Of course it's good" said the stranger, still sticking itforth. @It's a Canadian fiye-dollar bill.''
 Cant take it, repeated the con. ductor. s.Thcy won't take it off me at the office.''
 Well, you've got to take it." said the stranger, Cor stop the car and put me off. It's money, and good money
 The conductor acted like human being. He took the bill and looked it all over again. Then he referred if to passenger.
 "I never saw a bill like that be- fore,'. he said. 'What do you think of it?''
 The passenger told him that he was right in not accepting it because it was not g legal tender in this coun- try, and because he could not get rid of it except at a discount, even at a bank. So the conductor passed it over to it's owner once more.
 "You're in America now" he said. good-naturedly. You'll have to pay American money. If I took that I'd be stuck with it myself"
 Still the stranger was pig-headed.
