DISCOVERING A MAN.

The Story of a Tramp and Homeless.
 FTiendlless Dog.
 A tramp came slowly up the village street ana stopped to lean against q post. We looked him over in hls rags and dirt and general toughness, aln- wondered whether there was any ten der sentiment left in his soul. One thought of him as having craving for strong drink--of being ready with lying tale of distress--of adding to n4s degradation day by day.
 No, such man could have no senr1- nent left. Some might have ever wondered if the soul had not rebelled and parted company with the body. By and by, just as an oft1clous looking constable was about to order the va grant to move on, he was joined Dy dog that fitly represented him. he was a cur of low degree in color, build and spirit, who had Jagged on the way to gnaw a bone in the ditch. He was an estray--a homeless, friendless ca nine, and yet it was not so. The tramp smiled as the dog came up, and Wn r the animal licked his hand he snapped his fingers and said:
 q was waiting for ye, Bob. and restin' my legs at the same time. t1na anything to eat We'll, I haven't, Don't seem to be any free spread in this town today. Ready to go ahead, old dog?"
 The tramp was still a tramp as we saw him, but his words of kindness to the cur, who owned to his mastery, told us that he had once been man. The two had just moved out Into the street to jog along, the man furtively glancing around as if he fully realized the hostility of his kind, and the dog following close at his heels for protec- ton, when a runaway team turned the corner There were cries of warning. but the footsore man did not move quickly enough and was run down. When they had carried him into a sta ble and the doctor told him that he had not half an hour to live, he looked around for few minutes and then asked for his dog. The animal was brought In and the crowd fell back that he might get to his master. The man painfully stretched out an arm, and the dog lay down on it with wn1nl- pers of satisfaction.
 Bob" said the dying master, "I'ye come to the end of my tramp, and we must part. Together we have padded off a thousand miles on the highways. We have slept in barns, under hay stacks, in fence corners. in the woods. We've shared alike You've heard me whistle, old dog, as thought of the future, and you've seen my tears as I remembered the world agin me, and you have been the only friend to stick to me. It's pauper grave now, and you'll be left alone and friendless. It's not for me, Bob. but it's what's to be- come of you. Will you find new tramp master? Lickin' my hand. poor old dog, and can hear your whimpers, but it's turning dark and the road is | long--and Bob, old dog"
 And we turned away our heads and wl1isDered each one to himself: Be hold! he was a man among men!'

TOLD IN ENGLAND.
London Publication Again Rcsur- rects the Mythical American
 Who Toadies to Royalty.

A continental hotel keeper, says a writer in the London Truth, recently eonfided the following story to friend of mine: Some years ago, after Queen Victoria had been staying at certain hotel, a wealthy American called on the proprietor and signified his desire to sleep if 1t could be managed, in the same apartments, the same bed, and if possi- ble, the same bed clothes, as those which had held the sacred person Of her maj esty before they had been sent to the wash. Money was no object to him. What would it cost?
 The hotel proprietor was equal to the occasion. He thought it could be ar ranged for e20. A bargain was struck on these terms The millionaire duly arrived, and retired to the royal couch. No doubt he thoroughly enjoyed his nights rest, and the prospect of subse- Quently electrifying his friends with the story of his regal experience. His pleas ure must have been somewhat marred when he discovered later on that her Britannic majesty always travelled with der own bed and bedding,

Hons ill the world, is for some reason or other extremely bitter against Pres ident Roosevelt, and unless a change comes over the spirit of it's dreams it will without much doubt contribute large sums to the Democratic campaign fssnd.
 James J. Hill is also known to be bit ter against the president and is relied on by the Democrats for a handsome campaign subscription and also for ef- forts to carry one or two states in the extreme northwest for the Democratic ticket
 The friends of President Roosevelt are not at all worried by the reports which come from New York through Senator Hanna and others that the IRockefellers are determined to defeat him. President Roosevelt himself is mot afraid of the money power, He be- ieves that when it becomes known the richest man in the world, a man who iwields giant power through his con trol Of vast sums of money, is inimical to the president because the president has dared to try to do his duty the ef- feet upon the popular mind will be ex- tremely favorable to the Republican candidate.
 During Senator Hanna's recent so- 6ourn in New York city final efforts were made by men who represent great corporations and who are anxious to defeat President Roosevelt to induce MT. Hanna to make stand for tue Republican nomination. MT. Hanna gave no encouragement to these people. ITO the contrary, he declined their prof fers of help and declared that under no circumstances would he be candidate against MT. Roosevelt. It appears to be settled beyond peradventure that if the Rockefellers and Hills continue their determination to defeat President Roosevelt they will have to operate through the Democratic party and not within the RcpublicaH ranks.

Calico and Urban VIII.

Galileo's wit got him into trouble when he put into the mouth of Sim plicio. the foolish opponent of the Copernican theory in his Dialogues, ] an argument that Pope Urban VIII. had himself devised, and insisted on Calico incorporating in the work. Calico made Simplicio quote 1t as an argument he had from a. "very eminent and learned parsonage" The enemies of Calico persuaded Urban that he had been made game of and this was the offense of which Calico was guilty. II was not. for upholding the theory that the sun stands still and the earth moves that Calico was tried by the inquisition. Urban himself had supported the Copernican doctrines. both as cardinal and as pope.

DURAND AS A HUNTER.
British Ambassador's Exploit Tn an
 Indian Jungle.

Et | ] ii
 It is said in London that Sir Morti- mer Durand, tho negotiator of the "Durand agreement" with the astute Abdur Rahman, khan of Kabul, for six years British minister at the court of the shah, for more than three years ambassador at Madrid and now the new British ambassador to Washing ton. is prouder of his success as a sportsman than, as q diplomat, says the New York American.
 It is intimated that he took with him to Washington many of his Indian shooting trophies. Chief among these are an enormous skin and head of a Bengal tiger the story of whose death he often tells As the jungle was too thick for elephants to be used, Sir Nor timer was armed with both an Empress rifle and m eight bore, The latter weapon he had never used, md when the tiger came on he expected to have dropped him dead by the steady aim he took with it. ,.2
 But the brute rushed on for thirty yards at full gallop, and Sir Mortimer thought he had missed him. From his coign of vantage in the fork of tree he fired with the Empress rife into the brute's abask, and this time he fell. When the tiger was skinned. it, was found that the eight bore bullet had raked if from the chest to the end of its body It was evidently well en. dowed with the feline capacity for sur v3ving.

Shades of blue, green, crimson and plum, which look well by artificial light and browns are worn. Yet few men have the courage to identify themselves with the innovation, which has tend. ency to make them look like hunkies. Tight waisted. double breasted over coats with bold lapels are being worn by dressy Londoners, chiefly in gray. The craze for loud fancy waistcoats continues.

Says They Cure Where g Cure Is
Possible, and That They Are
Unequalled.

There is no man in America who's
knowledge of the Indians, their stronH
and their weak points, can compare
with that of Hon. W. +. Cody, But.vlo
Bill. The years he spent amongst I. 9
different tribes as an invaluable repre-
sentative and counselor of the United
States government gave him a famil-
iarity with their capabilities, skill,
habits and customs which makes him
the greatest living authority on all
matters relating to Indians. With
this wonderful knowledge what does
Buffalo Bill do when taken sick Does
he consult some high priced practi-
toner? Does he take some deadly
mineral medicine? Nc. He does just
what the humblest man can do as
we'll as the richest. He resorts to the
simple but wonderfully I'LL kickapoo
Indian remedies, which are made from
roots, herbs, gums, barks and leaves,
whose formulas were secured from the
Kickapoos. And what was the result -?
He was to use his own words speedily
cured" Here is what Col. Cody says:

If you have kidney, liver, heart or
