zone Of the shrewdest lobbyists I
ever saw" said an old politician who
has visited nearly all the capitals Of
the southern states while the law
making power was in session, was
fellow who never said a word. He
came from the mountains Of east Ten
nessee, and was born and bred In that
strange but beautiful section Of the old
volunteer state. His acquaintance was
very limited. He did not seek 10 get
acquainted with men. It was not In
his line. He found II to MS advan.
ta6e not to be known. He was a typi-
cal mountaineer in appearance. If he
had ever visited a barber shop. there
was no indication of it in his appear
ance. His hair was long, shaggy and
uneven, and he had an IRON rust sort
of cast. His long beard was a shade
darker and covered his face and hid
the front Of his shirt. He had sharp.
deep-set gray eyes. He wore boots and
generally had his trousers legs stuffed
down in the tops. He wore a cheap
slouch hat and always pulled it Gcwn
over his eyes.
I have seen him hundreds Of times
at the Maxwell house at Nashville,
Tenn, while the legislature was in
session, but I never heard him engage
In conversation with a single man or
with crowd during that time. He
was either leaning idly against one of
the big pillars in the rotunda or walks

At the same time he was busy He
was listening. OF course. the shrewd
men around the capital soon got on 10
him, as the saying goes, and when
they discussed state secrets they would
slip beyond the range OF his hearing.
He knew every public man in the state

and all about him. I have heard men
who knew him discuss his character,
and it is claimed for him that he had
the most delicately attuned pair Of
ears ever hung on human head While
apparently needing nothing, and per-
haps too far away to hear, from the
way the ordinary man would look at
it, he would yet hear and report ac-
curately a half dozen conversations on
as many subjects at the same time He
would even know who said this and
who said that. Because Of his talents
in this respect he became of much

ways sought
He was simply a listener. but he
became more powerful than a dozen or
more Of the gabby fellows who dealt
in bombast and fiattering platitudes
and who mixed with members in many
ways. His business was to hear those
things which came within the range
OF his ear. and he heard them. and in
select circles became known as the ST.

As Escaped Montana Convict Who

iii of Butte.

Butte, Mont, Aug. 2T.-With officers
of the state penitentiary upon his
trail. assisted by bloodhounds. Convict
Tom O'Brien, who, last Friday, made a
daring escape from the state prison,
has sent a communication to the Min
er pleading for a public statement OF
his alleged crime and vowing the
death of under-Sherif Dave Morgan,
whose alleged perjured testimony the
convict declares SEN him to prison
and wrecked his home.
The document received by the Min
er bears the postmark of Anaconda.
The writer dates his communication
from IA mountain in the surrounding
hills of Anaconda and says that he
wrote his story behind a rock, divid-
ing his time between his Winchester
and his pen. The communication is a
literary freak and there is no ques'
ton as to its authenticity, as the
handwriting has been fully identified
by the warden of the p~enitentiarI
and others acquainted with the Grim
inal.

Peoria, ILL.,, Aug. 27.-Peoria's two
monster independent distilling indus
tries are not for sale, and will not be
absorbed by the recently-organized
whisky trust.
For weeks past the press dis
patches from the east have been pro-
claiming that the deals for the pur-
chase of these plants by the big com
bine were practically closed, and that
within a very short time they would
be transferred. and the visit of An
CELLO Myers, president of the trust,
to this city, last week, gave color TO
the rumor.
Corning & Co. were approaches and
the negotiations were broken off.
The Clarke Distilling Co. refuse TO

Poles Chopped Down and wires o"'
STRIKERS OutNitted.

Tamaoua, Pa. Aug. 27.--Several
poles of the trolley line which runs
from this place to Summit Hill were
chopped down, Wednesday, and the
wires cut. This was probably done
to prevent troops from being taken
from Manila park, where they are en-
camped, to Lansford and summit Hill.
Mai. Gearhart outwitted the strik-
ers. however, by taking two compa-
MES of soldiers to Summit Hill an
hour before they were expected.
In Lansford, Summit Hill and Coal
dale the detachments of soldiers that
were sem out at daybreak to pre-
serve order and protect non-union
men were greeted by large crowds OF
| strikers, Who hooted them and calico
them At Coaldale the soldiers
were compelled to get of the cars
and force the mob back from the
tracks. In L~ansford, n crowd OF
women joined in hooting the guards

the situation is serious. He would no
say whether he would ask for rein

day:
at is true hat a concerted move
ment has been inaugurated by train
men and conductors employed on the
railroads west of the Mississippi riv-

will probably result in the officers OF
the two organizations being author
lied to present requests to the vari-
Gus roads for these concessions, is
now being taken. 1t will be, how
ever, at least ninety days before the
vote has been completed. There is
absolutely no talk of a strike, and
the possibility of such a movement
is extremely remote.

port Arthur, Tex, boasts five

hrouoht through the infant stage
successfully by a fussy old hen. So
~ has the fame Of the strange
hrood spread that photographers
have iourneyed many miles to get
. snap shot at the picture offered.
One of these pictures is in the pos
session of DR.. Fred S. Selby, 2055
west Adams street, Chicago, and
from it is reproduced the accompany
ing sketch.
The kittens and the hen with the
strange fancy for furry pets are the
nroperty of Mrs. w. P. Park, the
mother of DR.. Selby's wife. The hen
is one of the veterans of the Park
roost and is accustomed to have
things its own way. Early this spring
the mistress of the poultry yard
brought forth a brood of feathery
Young chicks, and, not liking the
place where her family was born,
led them across the barnyard and es-
tablisned headquarters in a barrel
near the house. Mrs. Park wanted
the chicks in the henhouse, SO she
overturned the barrel and "shooed'
them off.
Meanwhile the family cat happened
along and discovered the barrel lay.
