change OF heart when he reached Denver.
He had not been In the Colorado metro

public print and unburdened himself OF
considerable wisdom anent the baseball
situation as effecting the Pacific National

Opportunity Thrown Away.

Recently q friend of mine, a great
business man, assembled his clerks,
to the number of 200. He gave them
a 90 minutes statement on the out
lCok for the business. He told them
that he was oyerwoykel, that the de-
velopment must be along certain lines,
ard that the men in the different de-
partments could develop those lines
to any degree that they desired. He
gave a list of books that they could
read, list Of the firms in the same
line whose methods they could study.
From his address and from the 200
young men he hoped TO be able to sift
some IS or 20 who would take up the
study Of the business, give II their
nights, sleep with It, and at length
develop fortunes fer themselves.
What an opportunity was that! One
would have supposed that his office
would have been besieged by the
whole body of 200 clerks.
But, strangely enough, out of that
entire number only three or four came
to him afterward enough interested
even to pursue the inquiry or obtain
the names Of the books.
Each one had niche, a soft berth,
a position with which he was salts.
fed. Each loved ease, hated scrug.
gle, and was content with enough.
The decline Of ambition Is q singu.
lar phase OF modern life. Tho 10 out
of 20 are content. They will not
climb. Instead of meeting opportun-
ity half way, the angel of opportun.
ity must go all the way and scourge
men towards success.-New York

Mr.. BADGER. the saaaelous.

A badger which had made its homo
among the granite cliffs dealt with
the fire god with sagacity and skin. A
friend while painting a seapiece dis
covered badgers lair, and thought
to play the animal a practical joke.
Gathering together a bundle of grass
and weeds, he placed 1t inside the
mouth of the hole. and. igniting it
with a match, waited for the ignominl-
Gus fight of the astonished house
holder. But Master Badger was a re.
sourceful animal, and not disposed to
be made butt Of practical jokers.
He soon came up from the depths OF
his hole as soon as the penetrating
smoke told him that there was a fire
on the promises, and deliberately
stratchod earth on the burning grass
with his strong claws until all danger
was past. No human being could
have grasped the situation more quick,
ly or displayed greater skill in dealing
with an unfamiliar event.-Nature.

Excess In Golf.

Too much time is spent over golf,
and men bring to bear on the game an
industry and a devotion to detail
which ought to be expended upon
more serious things. This kind of
enthusiasm for a form of recreation
cannot be regarded as merely a strug-
gle to maintain the standard of physi-
cal health on which mental health de-
ponds. It must rather be looked upon
ting sport and must be guarded
against like any other form of excess.
It is an admirable thing in golf
which we admit to be an excellent
game even while we desire to say O
warning word against its cult-that it
cannot be played carelessly and that
assiduous practice Is required after
the position in the handicap list that
is somewhat contemptuously described
as domestic 70" has been reached, II
a higher standard is to be attained. 1t
is exactly here that golf proves, to our
thinking, a pitfall to many men. What.
ever is worth doing is worth doing
well, is an dAlOm lluJ every lHlHAlnb
man must cordially indorse. AS no one
can play golf really well without the
sacrifice of much time, the working
man is soon brought to parting OF
three ways. Shall he leave on playing
a game in which he can only excel by
much expenditure of time? Or shall
he continue to play moderately game
which he feels that he could, and he
would, play much better? Or shall he
give more thought than is right to
what, at best, is but laborious Idle
ness? We hope that all our readers
will take the middle course. Let them
reap the undoubted good that is Of
fered to them by break in their round
of toll and by brisk exercise an open
hill and heath, and let those of them
who are not brilliant exponents of golf
recognize cheerfully that excellence
can only come by the neglect If more
important things.-She Lancet.

which preceded great wara. Tho
teachings of experience give us no
guarantee Of peace. but, on the con.
trary warn us TO be thoroughly armed
in order that marauders may not mo-
lest us, and thereby drive ue to the
extravaganza of a long and bloody
conflict.
Battleships will not always prevent
war; nothing will do this, for an ele-
ment of pugnacity appears to be inn
planted in us by Providence, which
does not permit nations to be satis-
fed without an occasional appeal to
arms. We need not discuss the right
or wrong of this. History shows
plainly the existence Of such an Gle
ment. and further shows that II too
lcng n period clapses without the war
sentiment being gratified, nations tend
to become selfish, and a lowness of
view is engendered. and an undue love
of material ease and tendency to the
lower vices. Mr.. Ruskin claims that
| history shows US that not only the
arts flourish during the lcng periods
but that the great virtues also
flourish then, and that peace too long
continued. results in degradation of
the national spirit. Heroic con.
flicts for noble causes develop heroic
virtues in the men who carry them
on. 1t cannot be denied that they de.
veop, at the same time, fierce and
brutal passions that react disastrous.
ly on the finer qualities of a civilized
humanity; but If war can engender
heroism, yalor, and the courage that
enables a man &c meet death without
flinching, it cannot be wholly profit
less.
We need not on this account seek for
war. 1t will come without urging.
The keen desire for commercial su.
prcmacy constitutes a certain cause OF
war, which is always with us, and we
may rest assured that the nation
which secs this supremacy passing
from it, will after trying other RENE
dies. surely fight, and in so doing will
prefer as an opponent the nation that
10 the least prepared ana the richest.
In conclusion why should argu.
mcnts be necessary to show the ad.
visibility Of maintaining an adequate
military force on land and sea? The
government Of great nation is made
up of certain essential elements with
cut any cne of which it must fail in
the race. Armies and navies are
among those elemnts. and their i'm
portance in the machinery of govern
ment can be determined. and the
amount of money to be spent upon
them Details will differ in different
countries. Those in the interior OF
continents Will naturally need larger
armies, while insular and peninsular
nations Should spend more money on
their navies than on their armies. For
all. however, some armed force is in
dispensable, and though its work at
times must be sad and even repulsive,
yet there is something in war which
uplifts the spirit of man and tends to
diminish that fear of death which de.
grades life and mars its enjoyment

as a fighting man is not first class,
though he is fond of drill and proud
of his uniform. But he Is by nature
decidedly effeminate; his toilet is a
constant source of anxiety to himself,
and the pains he will take to curl his
crisp black hair by the application OF
various substances to his head is in
credible. He is fond of flnery, of lux.
urious and indolent habits, and keeps
up an incessant fire of chatter. He Is
grasping, and in the matter of food is
greedy. Timid in the presence of the
European, he is easily excited. and

Washington. July 3.-The indica-
tions are that the investigation into
the affairs of the Indian allotments
and other matters in Indian Territory
will shortly assume as wide proper
tions as the postotiice investigation.
The president has taken eognizance of
the situation and expressed his deter
mination to go to tine bottom of the
numerous charges that have been filed
here. Moreover, the department of
justice has been drawn into the COM
plication and is making an investiga-

Enough has been learned to indicate
that the charges involve the official
conduct of nearly all the officials in
the territory, high and low, and ex-
tend even to officials of the department
of justice, if not the members of the
Dawes commission. Many of these
charges, it is understood, are based
upon more or less unsubstantial
grounds, but Ii is expected that some

of them will be proven and may posi-
bly, result in sensational developments.
When it became evident that matters
were more serious than at first sup
posed, the president insisted upon
radical inquiry and unbiased reports,
upon which summary action might be
taken. The work is expected to con-
SUNG several months. If Mr.. Leupp
is unable to undertake the work, it is
thought that Inspector Churchill who
is pretty familiar with the situation in
the territory, will be assigned to the
task. In either case, the person dcsig-
mated to make the investigation will
go to the territory with a complete
staff of clerks and a stenographcr and
with full power to act. 1t is under
stood that the charges affect in part
the manner in which the townsites
were selected, and it is intimated that
several prominent officials were in coll
fusion with the railroads and other
interested forces and managed to make
good thing out of their official lInowl-
edge.

into the Jail The police saw the dan
ger ard telephoned to the fire depart
ment
In few moments the department,
with more than the usual changing of
gongs, made run past the city Ea!l.
The crowd was temporarily diverted,
and hundreds followed the firemen, to
realize only too late that they had been
tricked. In the meantime the city nall
corridors had been cleared and the
mob left outside the building.
Before long the cries of Lynch
him!" Burn him." and Bring him
Quit" were renewed and the situation
became alarming.
Instructions were given to the cleo
trio light plant and the lights along the
street in front of the building were all
put out.
Again the fire department was call
ed to the city hall and in the darkness
the police yelled to the firemen to turn
the hose on the mob. The firemen
made a great hustle and clatter, as if
preparing to dcuse the crowd.
During this diversion the negro was
hustled into a closed carriage and
rushed to the county Jail, several
blocks away.
The county jail is a much stronger
building than the city Jail and by the
time the mob reached there in the
darkness it was greatly diminished
and much discouraged over the way
the police had tricked them.
