IN THE TRAMP'S ROLE
Russian Instructor, Tired and Hun
cry, Ends Hard Trip.
University of Chicago Instructor, Too
Proud to Beg, Walks Over Three
Hundred Miles and Sleeps
in Barns,

Hungry, footsore and penniless,
Xenophon de Blumenthal Kalama-
tiano, instructor in Russian at the
University of Chicago, trudged into
one of the university buildings the
other day, after having travelled over
300 miles on foot. From the lumber
camps of Oneida county, one of the
northernmost counties of Wisconsin,,
he had pressed his way. Too proud
to ask for assistance, and able to
find but little work, the Russian in
structor fought his way slong. I'M
til his heart was gladdensd by the
sight of the familiar gpay stone
walls of the varsity buildings.
Stranded in the Wisconsin wi1ds,
Mr.. Kalamatiano resolved to get
back to Chicago by his own efforts.
He came down the Wisconsin river
some distance on fatboat, and then
managed to steal ride on freight
train. This was for but a short dis
lance, however. Nothing daunted,
he started out in the old-fashioned
way of traveling-by foot.
At night the weary traveller had no
place to lay his head. BY carefully
watching his opportunity, however,
he managed in several instances TO
find a barn, which he made his head
quarters for the night. When it was
bitter cold he would roll up in the
horse blankets, and, forgetful of his
misfortunes, would peacefully sleep
with the horses and cattle.
More than once in his journey Mr..
Kalamatiano found it expedient to
secure a berth in police station. He
kept close watch over his small sup
ply of silver, with which he bought
short rations at the village stores.
Several times he secured odd jobs.
making a quarter or SO, which he
spent for food. Yesterday he
reached the university and told his
tale of the dangers and hardshirs
through which he had passed.
It. was because of an itching de-
sire to see various parts of the Uni.
ted States and different phases II
life outside college walls that the in
structor laid aside the duties Of
pedagogue. Six months ago Mr.. Kali
amatiano left off the college life and
sought new fields to conquer.
While a student in the University
of Chicago Mr.. Kalsmatiano took an
active part 81 a*r'~t;-r t. -vn9 a
member of Coach Stages track team,
his special event being the two-miie
run. His pedestrian experience
doubtless came to his aid on his long
tramp from northern Wisconsin.

YANKEES AFFECT SHOE PRICES
American Monopoly of Raw Material
Causes Frenchmen to Act in
SeIf-Defense

The Association of Boot and Shoe
Manufacturers of France, repre- sent
ing extensive industries of Paris, Ly-
ons, Marseilles, Limoges, Fougeres,
Nancy and other places, has decided to
advance Immediately the scale of
prices for footwear. In making the
announcement M. .Giboult, vice presi-
dent of the association, says it was
made necessary by the gradual mo-
nopoly of the raw material by Ameri-
cans.
NJ. .Gibault also asserts that the
leather industries of America are alb
sorbing a considerable part of the
raw product of France, and are then
manufacturing and reselling the fin
ished product in the French market.
The French manufacturer has suf-
fered chiefly by the gradual rise in
the cost of leather. To meet this the
selling price of goods will be advanced
ten per cent.

MOUNTAIN LIONS AID HERDERS
Sheep and Calves of Stock
men Alone.

Mountain lions are assisting the
stockmen of southern Utah in reduc
ing the herds of wild horses which
roam the ranges, writes the Denver
correspondent of the Chicago Inter
Ocean. It is reported that the lions
have considerably diminished the
herds by devouring the colts.
Young colts seem to be choice
morsels for the wild beasts, and it
is said that not over so colts es-
capped the lions this season on the
Boulder, Thousand Lakes and Fish
Lake mountains. The lions seem to
prefer the colts to lambs and calves,
and since there have been a great
many colts born on the ranges dur
ing the last few years the beasts of
prey have almost ceased to modest
offspring of sheep and cattle.
AS the lions are not much hunted
and have ready access to choice
food they have been increasing in
numbers rapidly and threaten to be-
come a great menace to stockmen.
especially when the wild horses be-
gin to grow scarce. Down In Kane
county the horses have about desert
ed the haunts of the lion and are in.
creasing so fast that the stockmen
have recently decided upon their ex-
termination. prominent stockman
just up from the south says that
with this means employed, the depre-
dations of the lions and the starving
to death in hard winters the wild
horse bands of southern Utah will
soon become a thing of the past.
That Woke Him Up.
civilian, DEAR" exclaimed Wash
ington woman, whose husband is prone
to oversleep himself, ''it is time to get
up"
The only response was yawn.
william, dear, you'll have to get up
if you don't want to be late in getting
downtown"
yes"
She left him little while, and, COM
ing back, found that he had relapsed
into slumber again. Shaking him, she
said:
"William!"
"What is it?"
"If you don't get up this minute
you'll be so rushed getting away that
you won't have time to find fault with

BEING A GOOD FELLOW.
1t Ia o Losing Game In the Long Run
For Host Men.

For Most Men.
Any sensible young man ought to
know that he can't be up late nights
abusing his stomach and be in full pos
session Of his faculties for business the
next day, and he ought to know also
that man must be clear headed and
in full possession of his faculties to
hold his own in the keen competition
of life. Your good fellow" is popular
for the time being, but when his money
is gone and he has lost his job and is
on his uppers the good fellow" bust
ness doesn't get him anything. It's
poor fellow" then-another good man
gone wrong, and "the boys" are ready
to hail another good fellow who has
the price.

"the boys are mercenary. They don't
altogether pass up a good fellow"
same. They say he hit the booze too
hard and couldn't stand the pace. They
feel sorry for him, but he is out of it.
His & fellowship doesn't excuse him
even in the eyes of his friends for hav-
ing thrown away his opportunity.
The young man who gets the sleep
his system needs, is temperate in his
habits, lives within his means and
shows up for work in the morning with
a clear eye and active brain-that's the
man business men are looking for.
They want employees whom they can
trust. Having worked hard and laid
by competence, they want to throw
throw them off on the employee who is
too much of good fellow"
Cut it out, boys. There's nothing in
it. There's a whole lot of nonsense in
that good fellow" business. You can't
fool the public very long by living be-
yond your means and keeping up ap-
pearances. There must Re showdown
some time or other, and that means a
loss Of self respect and many bitter ex-
periences. Many a bright and promis-
ing business man has failed because
he tried to travel in too swift a class.
whereas had he lived within his means
he might have become highly success

The world doesn't give up its treas
ures easily. 1t isn't in the cards for all
Of us to be rcil!:"naires. and mighty
few Of the good fellows" get into that
class. It's better to earn your way

when you have reached the point where
you can spare both the time and the

more sense and have a different notion
about what good time is.-Toledo

MEASURED PLANET MERCURY,
Or. See of the Naval Observatory at
Washington Finds Its Diameter
to Be 2,65S Miles.

DR.. See, of the United States naval
observatory in Washington, has just
concluded a measurement of the
planet Mercury with the, large tel
escope of that institution. Its diam
eter is found to be 1855 miles. DR..
See calls attention to the fact that
he has never observed any marked
spots on the planets disk, not even
vixen the sky was absolutely pure
and the image of the planet perfect
ly defined on the lens of the tel
escope. His observation also is that
there is no diminution of brightness
at the edges of the disk, such as
would be produced by an absorbing
atmosphere. Although these results
agree in general with those obtained
at the Lick observatory, they dis
agree with those Of Schiajareli and
Mr.. Percival Lowell.
DR.. See has made another inter-
esting estimate regarding meteors.
Every observer notes considerable
number of small meteors while he is
engaged in telescope observations.
The field of view of telescope is a
very small fraction of the surface of
the heavens, and simple proportion
based on the number of meteors en-
ables an estimate to be made of the
number of meteors in the, whole
sky. In this manner, says the Wash
ington Star, DR.. See estimates there
are about 1,2oO,ooo,ooo telescope me-
teors appearing in the sky daily.
Between 100000 and 100000 me-
teors, bright enough to be visible to
the naked eve, encounter the earth
daily, according to the estimate of
prof Noyton

TO TEST MONSTER GUN.
Big Sihteen-Inch Rifle Recently Cons
pleted at Watervliet IN. "
Arsenal to Be Fired,

Arrangements have been made by
Gen. Crozier, chief of ordnance of thu,
army, for the ties ting of the big 16-
inch rifle recently completed at the
t Watervliet IN. W arsenal. This is
| The largest modern rifle ever built by
this government, and the greatest in
terest attaches to the Forthcoming
trial OF the gun. 1t is realized by
ordnance officers that the construc-
ton of such gun was a mistake, but
there was an impression at the time
it was authorized that there would
be an opportunity to use this type of
gun for coast defense, which could
thereby be increased in defensive and
offensive power by the adoption of
this larger rifle.
The difficulty in testing of the rifle
when it was completed was the
mount for the gun. No carriage was
built for this purpose, but Gen. Gro
'zler will make use of the Gathmann
gun mount. 1t will not require much
work to convert this carriage so as
to have it served as a mount for the
16-inch rife.
Gen. Burlington, who preceded Gen.
Crozier as chief of ordnance, had
made for his own satisfaction before
he went out of Office a model carriage
of the disappearing type, with the
idea that it would serve as gun car
riage for the 1o-inch. 1t is possible
that the gun will be ultimately en-.
placed at one of the New York har-
Dor forts, but it is not likely to be
more than curiosity in high power

MARKET REPORTS.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York, Nov. 19.-Prices in the stock
market showed tendency to harden
slowly again, today. The most active
stock was United States Steel preferred
and the late strength of that stock saved
the market from any reaction caused by
profit taking on the part of traders and
made the closing strong at top prices and
news of the day to account for the
strength in United States Steel preferred,
but the identity of the brokers most
largely concerned in the buying caused the
inference that they were acting for the
preferred stock conversion syndicate. Re-
ports circulated in the day seemed to
show that this buying was incident to the
closing up of the syndicateS operations
preparatory to it's dissolution. The second
the assumption being that the bond hold
ings of the syndicate had been marketed.
The strength of the bonds seemed to be
unaffected by an intimation that a new
syndicate would be formed to take over
the bondholdings of the present one and
to underwrite them at G5 United States
Steel preferred may have been affected by
consider the request of steel manufactur-
ers for a reduction on export steel
freight rates. Very discouraging reports
were in circulation regarding the rate of
earnings on the present output of United
States Steel and runorS were very per-
sistent of the, entry of large interests ir,

Whitney to whom Cleveland was
largely indebted for his nomination in

it does not signify much, for Mcclellan
is not Cleveland, and the Democracy
of today differs so greatly from that of
4 decade ago that the two have almost
nothing in common except a dishonored

Few of US have ever heard of the late
Gen. Reuben F. Barnard, who died this
week, yet his name has been on the
rolls of the regular army for 4S years,
and he had the unique distinction, prob
ably not held by any other officer of
his times, of having participated in
1903 regular battles. He took part in
three wars, and had the fortune to be
where there was the most fighting in all
of them. Three times he was promoted
for conspicuous gallantry, yet, despite
this splendid record, we do not recall
that the newspapers have ever spoken
of him as Fighting Rube.''
