WHIRLIGIG OF TIME.
1t Has Made a Legislator Out of a
 "Bad Man."
stBeaR Tracks,o Now Known aS the Hon. Ellis 1T. Pierce, the Most Interesting Character at
 Pierre, s. ID.

One of the old-time bad men of the northwest is a member of the South Dakota legislature this winter. Dressed in a long gray frock coat, woolen shirt, low-cut waistcoat, and broad, white sombrero, Ellis T. Pierce, or Bear Tracks, as the Indians once knew him, is g. picturesque figure about the hotel Hobbies in Pierre. Pierce was aeon temporary of Wild Bill Hichok and his slayer, Jack McCool, and is brimful of "reminiscences of the old days.
 'tAll the old gun fighters" he said, the other night to Chicago Inter Ocean correspondent, >of the early days of the Black Hills have cashed in their chips, and nearly every one of them died with his boots on. They were a. much misunderstood class of men.
 'sThe public idea of them is of men who were always going about with a chip on their shoulders waiting for a chance to murder somebody. Almost without exception they were quiet men, unassuming fellows, hard to rouse, but mighty quick on the draw and sure to shoot.
 s'I have seen Wild Bill take more abuse than the ordinary white man would stand, but he never made the first move to draw when the talk got heated. Time and again have seen him strip off his belt, throw it, guns and all, on the bar, and go in and polish off his men with his fists.
 '"The story of his killing has been told time and again, but it is perhaps not known that McCooI killed him oh the promise. of two gamblers to pay him $20O. He got $25 in advance, and never got a, chance to collect the re- mainder. And yet McCool was a de- scent sort of fellow.
 Booze and the fact that he was down on his luck were responsible for his

ONLY AN UGLY OLD HORSE.
Master Was Kind to Him and So He
 Got Up.

GOL Up.
 It was just an old horse, an ugly old fellow at that, down at the corner or Tenth avenue and Nineteenth street. Harness marks on his body told or q long term of hard service. His shaggy fetlocks and unkempt coat were proofs of careless groom, and his bony ap- pearance and hungry look showed plainly a lack of hay, not to speak Of oats. His past gave him no favof: Hitched to garbage wagon, ne hau borne his share of the burden all the forenoon and was well nigh exhausted. As he was being driven along over the stony street, his weary limbs gave way and he fell, so that his forelegs slipped into the drain opening to the sewer at the corner, and any attempt on his part to get up might have resulted in broken limb. The driver in vain urged him to get up.
 As is usually the case,a crowd quick ly gathered, some of whom, like the old horse, had seen better days. Sev- era1 of the men began to work to get him on his feet One grabbed him by the ear and pulled vigorously. An other kicked him in the back. A third piled him with a whip and others cursed, but the old horse only tremhled with fear and f1inched from the> whip.
 An onlooker advised them to drag the horse back to level spot and then assist him to rise. They soon dragged the old fellow back but instead of as- sisting him to arise they began to kick and whip him more severely. In an endeavor to avoid the punishment the horse made desperate struggle to rise. He got on his knees, but tottered over again. One man suggested that the animal was religious. as he had learned to kneel and the others giggled at the silly remark. More whipping and kicking and cursing followed, but the horse only 1inched and looked piteous- ly at his abusers.
 A policeman came into the crowd and took in the situation. He gave the driver a few suggestions and passed on. For few moments nothing was done. Then the horse raised his head and looked about. The driver stepped forward and patted him, and after talking gently to him moment. said in a pleasant voice: "Get up Tom" and the old fellow, in obedience to his masters command, made last heroic effort and got on his feet. The driver patted him on the neck and hung an oats bag on his head, and the horse switched his tail for joy. Kindness had put encoura cement into the old fellows heart to try again, and feel ing that he was not altogether without friends, he had put his whole energy into the effort and succeeded. Kind ness in two minutes, and from one per son. had done what the brutality of a half dozen persons for half hour had failed to do.-New York Post.

Speaking of the attempts to pass trust legislation our Washington corl respondent says that the senate and the house would not even pass a reso- lution asking that the evidence ob- tained against the coal trust by MT Hearst be submitted to congress in or der that the lawyers of both houses might pass on it and ascertain the quality of case thus made out by MT Hearst. If they refuse to look at MT Hearsts testimony, and the attorney general ignores it also, what good will it do to pass law to facilitate cases against trusts? Such legislation as this against the trusts that are men ace to the peace and the prosperity of this country is 8 travesty on justice and an insult to the intelligence of the people. This however. is the repub- lican answer to the peoples demand for effective antitrust legislation and tariff reduction and revision. In order to push through this program the re- pubiicans resorted to a f1im-fam game. They gave it out in flaming headlines that the Standard Oil monopoly and other great trusts and combinations were bitterly opposed to the Nelson amendment and other features of anti trust legislation they had decided to put through. This was expected to line up everybody in favor of this leg islation, and it had the desired effect They succeeded in selling nearly every democrat the gold brick, and the very legislation desired by the trusts went through with whoop. The rep,rbli, can party will now mount the stump and proclaim that it has kept all pledges to enact antitrust laws and curb the trusts. notwithstanding this gnat-on- -a-bull's- legislation.

treachery. I was the man who acted as Bills undertaken, and it was mighty ticklish job.
 ,ssIt looked like there was a streak of yellow in McCool when he killed Wild Bill, who had been paying for his meals for two weeks. But McCool did one nervy thing that goes far to wipe out this disgrace in the mind of the gun fighters and farmers.
 "C C. Clifton, an old-tinne scout, got his man in fight down in Custer one night, and the mans friend got him the next minute. The boys gave Cliff a trial in the old Judge Lynch style and sentenced him to swing. Twelve men were selected to do the trick. "McCooI heard of it at Deadwood and started on horseback to save his old pard When he blew into Hill City his horse fell exhausted near freignter's camp. Jack drew gun, covered the crowd, and, taking a horse, rode on to Custer
 "When he got there the hanging committee was about ready to do busi- ness. They had the, rope around. Cliffs neck when MeCool, his horse covered with foam, rode up. j
 "'Theren be no hanging he1e,' he yelled, as he drew down his rifle on the gang.
 Jumping from his horse, Jack cut the rope, flaming the crowd all the time, ran over, took TWO of the best horsesthe committe, had, stampeded the rest, and under cover of guns rode away. Clifton went back to Deadwood, and if he hadn't taken to stealing horses he'd likely have lived quite a spell" Pierce will not talk of his own ex- ploits. He has record as killer, but only of bad men and horse thieves who 1 presumed too much upon his good l nature and quiet demeanor.

Stock Companies are Making Them
 Popular in Various Cities.
 It is significant circumstance that shakespeare has been found profitable not only in Baltimore, where the re- ceipfs from his plays have been among the largest, but in other cities. In Bos- ron the established stock company has been presenting Hamlet" and with very pleasing success in that extreme " critical city. As You Like It. and other or the Shakespearean comedies have been acted this season and last by stock companies elsewhere-a grati- lying circumstance from more than one point of view.
 For one thing, it has been said of re- cent years that as the old actors were gradually dying out the art of playine Shakespeare was disappearing. With this is connected the elocutionary ac- complishment of reading blank verse. and also the important subject of the preservation of the Shakespearean tra ditiens. especially those relating to the tsage business, some of which have come down from the time of the poet nlmsen. The stock companies. seem lngly, may be depended upon to retain these venerable memorials of the past.
 Good elocutionists among the people or the stage are not too numerous at present, and how to read classic poetry Is not to be learned from employment In society plays and problem dramas. Nor is it well to have perish all the H. iustratiye business of Shakespeare's characters invented by the great ac- tors Of the past To keep these mem 0r1es alive we must depend largely on the stock companies News.

Why Men See Snakes.

A French scientist accounts for the fact that snakes are seen by those suffering from delirium tremens, as follows: 'tThe minute blood vessels in the retina of their eyes are con- gested. In this condition they appear black and are projected into the field of vision, where their movements re- semble the squirming of serpents." But the sufferer from delirium tremens may see anything from lice to ele- plants, and case is recorded in which the sufferer martialed regiments of balloons. Chicago Tribune.

EXERCISE IN DANCING.
The Most Strenuous of All the Social
 Activities.

The Most Strenuous of All the Social
 Activities.
 If the calculations of London medi- cal authority are to be taken seriously, dancing must be the most strenuous activity in all the range of social exer- tions According to his statistical de- auctions, the average waltz takes dancers over three-quarters of a mile, and a square dance represents a dis tance of half mile. His reckoning on the stwo-step is not given but it is reasonable to conclude that nearly a mile must be covered in one of these dances An evening devoted to this form of enjoyment frequently includes as many as 20 dances, generally divid- ed evenly between waltzes and two steps.
 According to the statistics above, these dances would represent a dis tance of nearly IS miles, heightened considerably by the usual enceres and extras. One seldom stops to think of such a material factor as distance when dancing, but the effect of physi- cal exertion is frequently experienced the morning after. It is gratifying to note the general tendency toward what is called "half time" in dancing, movement that not only serves to make this accomplishment less fatig- ling but also invests it with more of the grace and courtliness of the min- uets of our ancestors.-Town and Country.

Entirely aside from the averted critical situation in Venezuela, which changed it's face with every turn of the calendar, peace gives indications of try ing to break it's moorings in four or five parts of the world simultaneously" !" says the editor of Golfers Weekly. Whether it will eventually get away and convert itself into some form of slaughter depends very largely upon the cunning of statesmen and the re1a- tive impressiveness of national pres tige. The worst and most threatening situation is in Macedonia, where long smothered fire is licking its way up through the covering smudge, and where Russia, Austria and Turkey are involved in the possible outburst. The other troubles are in Central America, where the spirit of revolution and of inter-republican Jealousy has never yet length of time on the chair of amity; in South America, where the buffer state of Acre, small enough to be stuffed in Brazirs pocket, but impor- tant enough perhaps to be some say the gateway between the German sphere of influence in the north and the British and Italian spheres of influ- ence in the south of the continent, is leading swiftly toward a boundary fight between Brazil and her neighbor, Bolivia; in China, where the restless Boxer continues to hate the foreigner and to prepare to demonstrate that he, and not the powers that recently wept as they rode into the violated precincts of Pekin, is the real government; and, finally ill the black kingdom of Abys- sinia, where Menelek, the monarch, has put the French minister out of his diplomatic pasture and has declared that he does not care if his action offends the might of the Gallic republic

Census of Bacteria.

Dh. Ehrlich, a physician of Strass- burg, Germany, has recently published the results of an examination, made at the University of Strassburg, of the colonies of bacteria residing on the surface of unwashed fruit, taken from the markets.

Mayor Ki1duff made a strong plea for unionism last evening when he spoke of putting school teachers under bonds. Labor unions ask employers to do this. That is, to sign an agreement for one year, which can be terminated only for good and sufficient reasons, after due notice has been given. It seems only fair, after all, to expect that a school teacher should stay out the term for which she was appointed.
