Healy's Career.

James Healy went to New Mexico
from Texas. He was born in Sedalis,
Mo-, in 1888, and with his parents went
to Austin Texas, in 1850. He has al
ways lived on the plains and has no
knowledge of any other life. He never
went to school but three years, and
that was on the plains of Texas. But
he was born with rare sagacity and a
peculiar border shrewdness that ren ds
men at one glance and knows schem.
er instinctively. So, while he is ignor-
ant Of worldly ways and has not the
meagerest knowledge of the thoughts
and aspirations Of the people in the
busy, pushing, progressive world out
side of the lonely southern spur of the
Rocky Mountains, where he has lived
for longer than a generation he knows
cattle and sheep as thoroughly as any
man ever did, and he has the natural
rough skill to drive the best bargains
for anything he buys or sells. His
chief stock in trade is an iron consti.
tuition and bravado nerve that made
him well known on the frontier before
he was 20.
He became a yaquero in Texas when
he was but II, and he has been at II
ever since. He never talks about his
possessions, and he is as close as an
oyster when anyone tries to get him TO
tell what sums his semi-annual cattle
shlpments to Kansas City yield. But
he will sit all night and smoke and
drink whisky and claret mixed and
tell his ideas about breeding long or
short-horned cattle, about the relative
profit in sheep or cattle and how he
has many a time saved a good critter
from death by disease and for ship
ment to the slaughter house. From the
nieagerest beginnings and with only
stout heart and two brawny arms as
his equipment for wealth production,
James Healy has come to his present

There is good deal of talk about
DIR. Lorimer's salary. He breaches in
New York. Boston wants him, hav-
ing had taste Of his efficiency, and
has offered him $4,000 a year and a
parsonage that is anything but hut.
1t is a high-water mark salary, and
causes discussion because there are
people who do not believe that min
lister of the Gaspel should allow money
to determine his location, or that any
minister should be paid $4OO a week.
There is business side to it. The de-
mands made on modern minister are
immense. He must be an orator, a
thinker, planner. He must have
health, magnetism and that mysteri-
GUS something that fills the pews,
charges the very air with electricity,
and makes the people treasure his
words and support his projects. You
cannot fix the cash value of that kind
of a minister. He Is worth whatever
church can afford to pay him, and
If the sum is $4,000 there isn't a
shadow Of a doubt that he will do
his community $4,000 worth Of good.

Frequently one hears it said that
such and such word, If spoken be-
fore this or that man or woman, is
like red rag In front of bull Some
Of these inflaming words or phrases
in political speech and writing are
'protection,' free trade" "goldstand-
ard equal suffrage" 'prohition," !"

Controversy has waged round the ideas
for which they stand, and all the hard
feelings aroused by angry dispute are
recalled when the words are used.
Men and women are in such strict
bondage to words that it is difficult
to get at the merits of question in
discussion with them, If any Of the
quarrel words are used. The wise
man, therefore, avoids such words and
makes us Of others, less worn, when
he desires his views on controverted
subjects to receive respectful hear
1ngs. There are words Of allurement,
also, which tactful speakers employ
to gain the goodwill of their hearers.
The discerning man who sees through
words to the things they stand for Is
seldom excited by the quarrel words,
and Is not often allured by the entice-
ment of empty compliments. He does

JOSEPH kRUSE'S|
CRIME.
Arraigned Today Before
o. s. Commissioner
Rowe for Robbing
the Mail He
Confesses.
PATHETIC SCENE in COURT
Prisoner Was a Special Mes
senger in the Hackensack
P. Q. Prison Awaits
Him.

There was pathetic scene in United
States Commissioner Lindsey S. Rowe's
office in the Davidson Building this MORN
ing when sixteen-year-old Joseph II.
Kruse, of Hackensack, was arraigned be-
fore the Commissioner on charge Of
robbing the United States mails. The
boy broke down and confessed to all the
accusations against him. He cried heart
lily and between convulsive sobs begged
his father to forgive him. Tears rained
down the fathers cheeks. A woman,
friend of the Kruse, family stood by,
ready to go bail for the boy when bail
was fixed at 81 900 totawait the action
of the Federal Grand Jury, but as the
property was in her husbands name it
had to be refused.
Young Kruse was employed as spec
ial delivery messenger in the Hackensack
Post Office. Numerous complaints
reached the Office to the effect that let
ters containing money, checks and pack
ages containing jewelry did not reach the
people to whom they were addressed. o.
S. Postal Inspectors Cortelyou and Holt
by went to work on the case. BY means
OF decoy letter containing ffty-cent.
piece they traced the robberies to the
youthful special delivery agent. This let
ter was left on a table with Kruse alone
in the room. The marked coin was found
in his possession. The letter and enyel-
ope had been destroyed. After his arrest
By the Chief of Police of Hackensack he
confessed to the Inspectors to having stol-.
en- gold watch, several scarf pins, rings
and one check for $500.
One letter he opened contained four
checks on the Haekensack National Bank
each of large denomination These
frightened him, and on the night of the
day in which he opened the letter he
wrapped the checks in piece of paper
and showed them through an iron screen
at the entrance to the bank, where they
were found next morning by the watch
man.
Young Kruse said he stole the money
and jewelry from the letters in order to
make himself solid with his sweetheart,
whose name he refused to divulge.
He was brought to this city Monday
evening late, and after arraignment, was
held for examination today Meanwhile
he was confined in the County Jail. Af-
ter this mornings arraignment he was
taken to Jail again by United States Dep
uty Marshall Sanford E. Smith.
As younC CKruse has passed his six
teenth birthdaN me cannot be sent to the
reform school, and the Federal Postal
statute provides for no liberation by the
payment of a fine. A term in States
prison stares the boy in the face. Judge
kirkpatrick may Ind him guilty AID sus-
pend sentence, but it is not believed
he will do SO, as the accusations against
him are serious.
