FAyORITE LITERARY SONS

In Missouri they have been honoring Mark
Twain, a of Missouri, and Mark Twain
was pressed into service to pay high honor
to another literary favorite son Of the old
state-the late Eugene Field. Mark Twain
performed the duty of unwilling the tablet
which friends of the poet-journalist have
placed on the front wall of the house, 634
South Broadway, in St. Louis, in which Field
was born in 1850. He referred to Field as
"a man who by. his life made bright the lives
of all who knew him, and by his literary
efforts cheered the thoughts of thousands who
never knew him D. R. Francis then took
occasion to add to the accumulated honors of
Twain the declaration: t'This tablet to the
memory of Missouri's greatest poet and
sweetest singer is unveiled by a man who is
not only the greatest Missourian, but. the
best-known American man of letters cfAthe
day. ..-~--
1t would have been in better taste for Mr..
Francis to have stopped with the tribute to
Field. It was a Field occasion, not a Mark
Twain occasion. Mark Twain had just had
triumphal march through north Missouri
had been feted and caressed by men, women
and children from Hannibal, hither and yon
to St. Louis. He was surfeited with honors.
Even he would feel trif1e bashful at being
called 1.-THE greatest Missourian," when most
every active Missouri politician considers
himself 1.-The greatest Missourian,' and when
the question as to who is the best-known
American man Of letters is positively unan-
swered to-day.
Missouri cannot boast of many men and
women of literary distinction and her pride
in what she has is natural 1t was hardly
fair, however, for interest in the fine tribute
to Eugene Field to be diverted, even to Mark
Twain, the other favorte son, on the occa-
sion referred to-

AN old PAL OF BATS
Sheriff Patterson Tells Early Day
Stories of Masterson.
THEY WERE SCOUTS TOGETHER
Masterson Didn't Know Fear and
Was Handy. but JudiciOns
With Weapons.

Sheriff Patterson, Of Lead, S. D., an
associate Of Bat Masterson in the old
gun f1ghting days, is, at the Hotel Nicollet.
Mr. Patterson relates several interesting
"reminiscences of the famous frontiers
man who was gathered in by the New
York police last week, charged with hav-
ing swindled a westerner named Snow,
son of the late presiding elder Of the
Mormon church, out of $4,000. Three
other sports and card sharks were ar
rested with Bat, charged with completely
in the bunco game.
There wasn't a squarer gambler than
Bat Masterson ever lived said Mr.. Pat
terson, and if he helped get any such
sum of money out of that man Snow it
was certainly done in an open and above
board way. One thing is certain-Bat
Masterson didn't get tricked by any de-
tectives; if he went out to fleece this
man, he did 1t with his eyes open.
~ came to know Bat Masterson we'll
On the old days when .Injun fighting was
our daily diversion. l was brought into
close contact with him because both of us
were among the nineteen government
scouts whom General Miles used to such
advantage in his campaigns against the
hostiles.
II remember one occasion when a small
party OF soldiers and scouts were hemmed
in for three days by band of 500 Indians
led by negro deserter. We finally de-
cided that the only way to scare off the
redskins was to kill their leader, and Bat
volunteered to execute the contract. He
rode out on a pony toward the hostile
line, until he drew their fire, and at the
risk Of being riddled, picked the negro out
Of the saddle, killing him deader than a
door nail at a couple of hundred yards.
He got safely back to cover, and without
a leader the hostiles soon drew off.
BAT Masterton started in the wild west
game when, as a boy of 10, he rode out
of Dodge City, Kan, and announced his
intention of killing buffaloes. He soon
became the best known frontiersman in
the west. Bat may be gun fighter, but
he never used gun for the love of kill
men. Well, if he has, you may be sure
every mothers son Of en- deserved it.
Bat Masterson carried a gun because
when he grew up in the west no man
was safe without one. He carries gun
now as a matter of habit Yet he never
used one except in self-defense, or for
some other good reason. I've seen Bat
take a good, hard beating from a man
greatly his physical superior, although
he had two big guns in his pistol pock-
cts.
when he did pull gun he invariably
shot to kill He nailed his man hard
every time. Perhaps his most notable
exploit in that line was down at Dodge
City, when he, was sheriff of the county.
His brother was killed by gang Of six
desperadoes, and Bat went after the
bunch. He located EN- all in dance
hall and opened fire at close range They
all had their guns and let 60 at him, but
there were six dead men on the floor

ELEPHANTS Do REMEMBER
So Says s'Dutch Henry Who Has
Handled Elephants for
Thirty-nine Years.

Henry Larsen, better known to his
cronies as Dutch Henry" and 1.-The cap
tain who is in charge of the animals
at the Elks' carnival, is one of the most
interesting characters of the circus world.
Larsen has been in the circus business
for thirty-nine years. practically all Of
which time has been spent in training
and caring for animals. He is regarded
as one of the best animal men in the pro-
fession, and is especially considered al
authority on elephants. Henry has a
great liking for these big animals, and
tells many interesting stories in regard
to their intelligence Speaking Of them
Mr. Larsen said to-day: 2
An elephant is the most intelligent crea-
ture on earth. You remember the stories you
sometimes see in cheap novels about some
man annoying an elephant at circus and
meeting the same animal ten years later? You
remember how in the stories the elephant will
recognize the man whom he has seen only
once before, and that ten or more years
since? Well, those stories are not exagger-
ated in the least I have known many such
instances myself
''These stories Of the treachery and bad
temper of elephants have no foundation in
fact. An elephant is never morose, saw
age, treacherous, unless he is made so by
ignorant or brutal trainer. That at least
has been my experience and the same will
be told you by almost any good trainer
do you remember the elephant Big Char
lie, which was choked to death in New York
a few months ago by Ringing men? He
might have been alive to-day had he not been
made sullen by bad treatment.
II used to have one elephant with me who
was the most intelligent animal I have ever
seen. I would place a coin upright against
the crown of a hat, and put the hat ten or
twelve feet away Then. would tell him
to get the coin for me. He would blow
through his trunk at the piece of money in
such way that, it would roll over towards
him, until he could reach it without NOV
ing from his tracks. l have seen almost
every kind of trained animal but think that
trick, which he learned himself showed more
sagacity than any feat I have ever seen per
formed"

when the fusilade was over. He walked
out unframed
: ''Of recent years Bat Masterson has
been bookmaker and card player, and
perhaps some of his doing wouldn't be
tolerated in polite society, but he isn't
what you'd call a real bad man. He Is
type of the original westerner, of
class Of men now rapidly passing away,
and in my mind he shouldn't be judged
too hard if he has not outgrown some of
the old rough ways which were common
enough when he was p. He certainly
rendered the government some valuable
service as a scout. and should be given
the benefit Of doubt on that score. In
my opinion, he will be eXonerated when
they investigate the charge on which he
is now held" .~a:. -. e. e
