TAGGART'S LONG RUN.
Incident of the Democratic National
Committee Chairman's Youth.

Committee Chairman's Youth.
When Tom Taggart. the chairman
of the Democratic national committee,
was very young man he was appoint
ed deputy sheriff, says the Saturday
Evening Post 1t was his first office,
and he determined to do his duty. The
morning after the honor fell he was
called to the door before breakfast by
a neighbor, who excitedly pointed out
a man, bareheaded and dressed in old
clothes, who was sprinting rapidly
down the road.
Tom" cried the neighbor, "catch
hin-catch him! He just knocked
man down and half killed him! Nail
him fore he escapesv'
Tom vaulted over the front gate and
started in pursuit The man was some
distance ahead, but Tom was fresh
and ran like deer. At first he gained
on the fellow, but it seemed impossi-
BILE to come up with him. To Toms
frantic cries to halt in the name of the
law the man paid not the least heed.
Tom felt for his revolver, but remem-
bered that he had left it under his pill
low. If he went back after it he would
lose sight of the man. 1t was too early
for any one to be abroad, SO there was
no chance to impress posse comitatus
On they sped, with the ambitious depu-
ty sheriff about 100 yards in the rear
At the end Of mile or two the fellow
turned to the right into crossroad
This maneuver he repeated four times
in succession, and Tom found himself
at the end of an hour in the same road
in which he had started, but couple
of miles farther down. Here the fleeing
criminal made sudden squirt and left
the officer behind. Still Tom struggled
desperately on. Finally he met an old
friend.
Say" he gasped with his last BREATH
did you see bareheaded man go by
here on the run? He's murderer
maybe, and Pm after him."
II amt seen nobody" replied the
friend, except that Chicago prize
fighter who come down here to train
He goes by here bout this time every
morning. Runs ten miles fore break
fast to improve his wind, they say"

CAMEL RANCH FOR KANSAS.
Snowman Expects TO Capture wild
Arizona Camels to stock L..

On the banks of the Arkansas river
In Kearney county, Kan, the only
camel breeding ranch In the world Is
soon to be established, says Topeka
dispatch TO the st. Louis Globe-Demo-
frat. The most remarkable fact In con-
nection with this new industry is that
the animals which are to be used In es-
tablishing the ranch are to be captured
from the herd of wild camels in Ari-
lona and Mexico.
This camel hunt will be the second
one ever held in America. The first
was under the direction of Allen Sells,
the former Snowman, and resulted IN
| the capture of nineteen camels. The
second hunt will be conducted by his
son. Willie Sells. who has made for
| tune in the circus business. He was
only ten years old ut the time of the
former hunt, but he remembers the de-
tails, and he will not vary from the
plan executed by his father.
The wild camels of Arizona and Mex
leo are the remnant of two bands Of
the animals turned loose to shift for
themselves thirty or forty years ago
The first animals were given their lib
erty by the government after an I'M
successful attempt to use them in car
rying government stores across the
Arizona deserts. Later Frenchman
who used camels on these deserts had
his business destroyed by the trans
continental railways, and he turned
his band into the desert.
Willie Sells was present at the hunt
which his father conducted for the
camels, and he knows how to find and
capture them The camels live in the
deserts ut points too remote from wa
ter or food for horses to live for a sue.
cessful hunt to be conducted. as il
would for other game. The water and
food for the horses must be hauled
the hunt can begin. Then horses which
are accustomed to the sight of cameis
, must be used in the hunt Arizona
and Mexican horses cannot be urged
within shooting distance of a camel
and the latter are the most wary OF
; game Their sense of sight and smell
is much keener than that of other wild
, animals The latest reports from the
wild camels are that they have beer
seen in the cactus plains in Yuma ant
Maricopa counties. in the territory, anc
along the Mexico line near the mess
f de Nal Pals, south of the Nal Pas
mountains.
The idea of establishing came
ranch in Kansas came to Mr.. Sells aft
er he had acquired possession of sandy
. land in western Kansas which haC
been owned by his father. The trac
, comprises nearly four section of graz
ing land, and Mr. Sells believes it will
be a good place in which to breed ant
raise camels for profit. They cost more
than elephants and are much easier
p raised in captivity. Mr.. Sells Is very
DESTROYS of using the Arizona camel'
as a nucleus of his herd. because the,
: are accimated and have been increas
t ing in numbers in America. He say
e the hunting party will leave Topeka il

good intentions judging from the nature
and scope of the bills already intro
duced. If they can pass the good ones
and table the poor ones it will be we'll
OF course every one of us can easily
make this discrimination at least we
think We can.
Here are some of the things we
heartily say "amen" to: Amendments
to the liquor law if they are along the
line of temperance and good citizenship.
Amendments strengthening the influ-
ence of the open or hidden saloon are
not such amendments as We favor.
Licenses for foreign hunters. This is
but tit for tat and fair play.
DO away with all bounties on noxious
animals There is no sane reason why
they should be continued at the expense
of the treasury.
Provision for an Attorney General in
the name of economy and the wisest
administration of the criminal law.
A simply drafted Caucus Law. The
greatest trouble with all election laws is
the multiplicity of their provisions
Incorporate the needed reforms into
law so simple that no one ought to err
in gaining knowledge of its operation
Don't have too many technical ifs anC
butts. Have the general application o
the rule of far greater Importance thai
the doubtful sidetracking by som
exception. Make it plain as daylight
and simple enough for child to under
stand.
Election of representatives by pluralit
on the second if not on the first ballot
This would obviate many difficulties, d
away with much strife and not in tn
least ieopardise the best interests of tn
State.
Report one general appropriation bi
near the close of the session, making tn
proper division of funds among tn
various claimants, etc. This shout
come from the Ways and Means Con
mittee and would be step in advanc
surely.
The better regulation of the use c
automobiles looking to the safety an
accommodation of the general public
the common people who have not none
enough to own leaping black or re
devil but wish TO travel the highway
after the old style behind horse or 0
foot. Too many of these expert {
inexperienced chaffeurs are too might
big and important to care picayur
for the rights of those who occupy tt
homes and perform the toll of commo
rural life. Better limit the time
their perambulations to five hours b
tween IL midnight and six in the NOR
ing.
These and other measures are of I
little Importance and we shall from tin
to time have something to say in refe
ence thereto as the debate at Montpeli
wakes warm.
We shall be pleased to receive cor
munications from our readers on time
subjects of legislation, and will glad
publish them to the extent of OF
