VERY YOUNG SMOKERS.
Even Babies, Just Old Enough tt
TOIdle Are Addicted to
the H0bis.

STUNNING to find out how the 9th
er half lives, has always been more
or less of society fad; yet, perhaps
there are conditions even in sweet
smelling Detroit not generally un-
derstood. Why, I know >1f streets in
this city in which nine o,.t of ten per-
sons, men, women a1d children,
smoke. Even babies, just old enough
to toddle, arc addicted to the yobac-
co habit"
Such were the remarks iatroduc-
tory to story by gentleman whose
work in tho slums IL not in any
sense fad, states the Free Press.
''Not long ago. said he, Il was
talking with woman who seemed a
little more intelligent than her
neighbors:
'''Do your boys smoker I asked,
not knowing for certain that there
were boys, but knowing that in this
street the home without boys was
the exception.
''Not attempting to initiate her dia-
lect-:yes, they do she said, both %
'en. The oldest one isn't bad. He
just smokes pipe once in awhile.
But my youngest boy, he does like
tobacco! Why, every time he gets
hold of five cents he goes right off
to the store and buys one of thea
long black cigars, and sits right down
and smokes it,
''Come to find out, the moderate
pipe smoker had reached the discreet
age of seven. The smoker of long.

quirt, mounting him as he jumped
up. The big sorrel bumped his back
to buck again, and the Freak gave
wild, exultant yell and smote hir
across the nose with his quirt.
The next instant he was racing in
mad gallop across the fiat, straight
for gulley which ran into the bed
of the creek, only a few hundred
yards away: dry cash in the earth,
20 feet deep, and not much wider,
with banks straight up and down.
Head i'm off, boys. For Gods
sake head i'm off" shouted old Dolby.
Half a dozen cowpunchers sprang on
their horses and gave chase, but il
was too late. They were not more
than half way when horse and rider
disappeared over the bank.
Mortified, they went roundabout
way, and rode up the gulley to
where Kingbolt had disappeared,
They were much relieved at find,
ing the Freak, though bruised and
shaken, not seriously injured. King.
bolt was stone dead, with his neck
and one front leg broken.
The Freak soon recovered, and still
rides for the Circle -Four; and fl
northern Montana, wherever cow
punchers congregate and the talk
turns to wild rides that have oeen
made, there is always some one to
tell how the Mar Freak rode the

SOME LONELY PLACES.
Island Homes Where the News Of the
World Il News a Month After
the Event,

The lighthouse keepers at Eddy
stone were II days late in learning
the news of the peace in South At
RIGA, but they may be quite early
compared with St. Kilda, which may
have still to learn that the war is
really over. It is strange to think
that, in this age of telegraphs and
telephones, when messages are
flashed round the world in less time
than it takes cabman to drive from
St. Paul's to Charing Cross, there are
still lonely parts of the empire many
months removed from civilization, so
isolated that no whisper of great
events reaches them until they have
taken their place in history, and are
all but forgotten in the great world.
More remarkable still is it that in
these days of Imperialism there
should be, even in an empire which
shelters one-fourth of the human
race, whole community quite for
gotten, says St. James Gazette.
Yet, forgotten empire" is much
more than a mere phrase. There is
pathos as well as glory in empire.
The entire population of lonely
island in the Pacific, over which the
British flag flies, was found two or
three years ago to be ''close to
death" through starvation. For nine
months not a ship had called at the
Palmerston islands, and, though the
heat killed all the cocoanut trees and
1p.io1 nf hi q
which could be used as fruit, the peo-
pie of the islands were cut off from
the rest of the world, and from food
supply of any kind. Somehow, in the
shipping arrangements which en-
brace Palmerston islands, the place
had been forgotten, and the situa-
ton of the people had become des-
perate when the relief arrived. The
owner of the island had died the day
before, and the whole population was
starving when calling vessel, hap
PLY named the Empire, brought them
food.
The Eddystone lighthouse men,
though left for II days without an
historic piece of news, have never en-
dured the bitter experience OF the
lighthouse men on Percy island, one
of the many small islands on the
Queensland coast. For months they
were forgotten and the supplies
which should have reached them in
August arrived at the end of October,
with the result that the unhappy
men, 20 in number, were found al
most delirious from lack of food. The
food supply of Percy island is sup
posed to be delivered once quarter,
but TO food arrived at the island
after the first week in June, 1900, I'M
til British sloop CHANGED to pass in
October. The islanders managed to
hail the vessel, which left behind an
ample supply of provisions, and re-
minded the Queensland government

THE N-BAR FREAK.
How a Cowboy Won His Spurs.
BY WILLIAM SINCLAIR.

LIE rode up to the outfit one after
II noon, just as the cowboys had
finished working the herd, and tack
led the wagon-boss for job. Now
the Circle Four was possessed of a
string of horses-a half dozen head
or more-which could buck higher
and crookeder than any which could
be scared up elsewhere in northern
Montana, and that is saying a good
deal. They had caused two or three
of the best broncho-twisters in the
country to quit the outfit, and no
ordinary cowpuncher could tackle
them at all; so it was with a good
deal of interest that the boys, lying
in the shade of the mess-wagon, lis
tened to the conversation which took
place between the newcomer and the
boss.
"Can you ride?" asked old Dolby.
"Well, I reckon en- ride cow-hor-
ses," replied the stranger.
"Well, you won't git any gentle
horses if you work for this outfit.
I've got string of horses here that
want ridin' an want it bad. I'll give
you $50 month if you en- ride 'em,
but I tell you right now, stranger,
you've got to ride like scared 1njun
if you stay with EN-"
e"I'll take chances with 'em; if ]
can't ride 'em I en- quit"
'All right answered old Dolby;
"you en- go to work in the mornin'.'
Nothing more was said. The stran'
ger pulled the saddle off his horse
turned him loose, and with mutter.
ed ''How do, boys?" dropped down be-
side the wagon tongue and began
rolling cigarette.
HNnow him ?" asked Johnny Layton
of Kid Moore.
II don't know his name, but I saw
him around the Mar ranch last
spring. He was breakin' horses
there; they called him the 'N-Ba1
Freak over in that country. Queer
locker, amt hep"
I'D tell man! But he'll be q
sight more of. freak when hi
gets through with them snaky horses
of old Doby's."
Johnny was good rider, but he
had tried the rough string, and, after
being stood on his head a time OF
two in bunch of cactus, had con
cluded that there was more of hare
knocks than glory in a broncho
twister's life, and that to be com
mon ordinary cowpuncher was goot
enough for him. He had also arrived
at the conclusion that one horse
Kingbolt by name, which had beer
the cause of his downfall, could mo-
be ridden by any mortal man; he wa:
ready to bet months wages on il
at any time.
"Well, I don't know" said the Kid
refectively. ''Them fellows ove1
around Mar said he was about az
coed as they make 'em. One things
sure; there'n be heaps of fun wher
he steps up on old Kingbolt. That

LoEcHNER CASE IN COURT
Defendants Attorney Begins By Rsis-
ing some Technical ObJec-
lions to Trial

John Henry Loechner Of the South omaha
school board has fought his 1rst round In
court and 1t is up to Judge Baxter to de-
eide at $3.50 this morning whether the
indictments against Loechner and others
OF the board on the charge OF malfeasance
in ONCE are to stand and the cases 10 10
trial.
No sooner had the Judge overruled, yes
terday afternoon. the motion to duash the
indictment against James Murphy, one Of
the board members, than Loechner's attor-
ney, Ed p. Smith, blocked the beginning
OF Loechner's trial with two technicalities
Of law. The first was based on section IS
Of the school board law, which provides
that "all taxes collected for the benefit
Of the public schools shall be paid in
money, and shall be subject to the order
Of the Board Of Education" The attorney
maintained that this gave the board abso-
lutte liberty to do with school money as it
saw At and that therefore its alleged do
nations to the arm Of Cuddington & Wilcox
for coal that was never delivered was be-
yond the reach Of the Law.
The other and more important conten-
tion was based on section $50 Of the crimi-
nal code, which states that for malfeasance
In ONCE a sheriff, constable, register Of
deeds, county commissioner, coroner. 'or
any ministerial o%f1cer" shall be liable to
fine of 5000 and removal from ONCE. The
school board members are not specifically
mentioned with the sheriff and others and
Attorney Smith claims also that they can
not be included in the general classihca-
ton implied by the clause. amy minis
terial officer" He AYERS that Loechner, as
a member of the school board, is an execu-
tive or administrative oficer and there
fore not subject to this provision for PEN
atty. II Judge Baxter shall concur in this
view this morning the decision Of course
affects the whole board. II he does not 50
concur the trial will at once proceed.

The disposition of the days receipts was
Der of head indicated:

CATTLE-The supply of cattle today was
just about the same as 1t was a week
ago today. Chicago, however, was quoted
considerably lower, and as a result buyers
were bearish in their views at this point
and did not seem to be particularly anxious
for very many cattle. For that reason
trade was a little slow and the morning
was we'll advanced before the pens were
cleared.
The steer market was slow In opening
this morning, and as a general thing pack
ers were bidding 10c lower than Fridays
market. Sellers, of course, did not like
to make the concessions asked, and the
cattle were slow to change hands. In
some cases sales were made that were not
much lower. but still the bulk of the cattle
sold fully 10c lower than the same kinds
brought late last week.
There was an active demand, however,
for the better grades of COWS and heifers
and the market could safely be quoted
steady on that class of stock. AS high as
S. 40 was paid today for a cow, which is a
good indication of what choice stun will
bring. Gamers and medium grades of cows
did not sell any too freely today, and
sellers in some cases found 1t a hard
matter to get what they considered steady
prices for that class of stock.
There was not enough change in the
prices paid for bulls, veal calves and stays
to be worthy of mention.
There were only a few stockers and feed
ers in the yards this morning, and as the
demand from the country has been of good
proportions the market today was active
and steady to strong. Owing to the light
supply of the better grades the common
cattle also sold without much trouble at
fully as good prices as were paid late last
last week. Representative sales:
