New York. June a-The light specula-

in evidence yesterday was somewhat dis
couraged to-day and gave little show OF
enthusiasm The poor market afforded
for taking profits yesterday afternoon
served to discredit the upward movement
London gave some upward impulse TO
prices early in the day and took stocks
here until they reached the London pari-

again.
London was said to b. somewhat dis

ADVANCE IN STERLING RATE
II was not surprising. therefore, that 4
violent advance in the sterling rate at
Paris should reflect the turn in the cur

The French capital again. The sterling
rate eased here. although an additional

The result is something like a redundant

OF the world. with a corresponding apathy

THE BOSS HERDER'S REVENGE

when it comes to exacting ample
revenue for real or fancied injury give
me the old-time COW man, and I'll
show you fellow who doesn't forgive
or forget" said Bob Howard, who for
the last fifteen years has been fore
man of the I. D. brand in the Crow
reservation in Montana. Il know one
man that paid about 1900 for a bot
tie of whisky simply because he fail
ed to pay a little bet. Maybe it wasn't
his fault that he didn't make good,
but just the same he was held at fault
and had to foot the bill. His name is
Paul Mccormick, and he lives out in
Billings. He is a rich man now, said
to be a millionaire, and he hasn't
missed the 81 200. In fact, up to the
present time he doesn't know how
much he paid for a quart of red eye.'
This little incident happened about
a dozen years ago. Cattle were cheap.
The price had dropped with great i'd
denness and Mccormick had contract
ed to purchase 800 head of the Duck
Bar brand on eight months delivery.
By the time for the fulfillment of the
contract had arrived he found himself
facing loss on account of the drop in
values. He didn't want the cattle, SO
/ have always understood, but the
owner of the Duck Bar was obdurate
and Mccormick had to take the
steers. The 500 were cut out of the
main herd and Swum across the Big
Horn to the cast side. The river is
very swift at this point, as it is just
where it energies from the mountains
under the tumbledown abode walls of
old Fort c. F. Smith. 1t was July,
and the melting snow from the noun
tainS caused the river to run baHkful.
Mccormick didn't accept the cattle
with particular good humor, and he
didn't take the jokes of the Duck Bar
foreman with the gracious spirit that
the West demands from the man who
gets the worst of bargain. The fore
man was a big muscular chap named
Billy Carter, now a good citizen out
at Great Falls. One day Billy was
looking across at McCormick's steers
on the other side of the Big Horn.
The cattle swan the river in pref
ty good shape, Paul. he said.
Yes snapped Mccormick, "a good
deal better than some men l know
could turn the trick
Are you limiting around that
couldn't swim it?' asked Billy.
III cover your pile that you can't
do it, replied Mccormick.
There's just forty in my belt that
says 1 can do it both ways said the
cowboy.
"Well, they put up the money and

Never was the United States gov
eminent SO deeply interested in an ex-
position as it is in this 1904 Worlds
Fair. Already the governments in
yestment has reached the $11 ,0OO, 600
mark, and this does not include the
Philippine expenditures, which were
paid out of the. insular treasury. The
result is the greatest exhibit ever
made by Uncle Sam.
One of the interesting government
exhibits is the great map of the
United States, worked out in growing
crops, each state being represented
by crops chiefly grown in that state.
This map covers six acres of ground.
One who has not seen the map may
have an idea of its immense size
when he is told that Illinois on this
crop map is rs feet long. The bound
airy lines between the states are
gravel walks and the Worlds Fair
visitors stroll at will through the
states. and receive simultaneously a
lesson in geography and agriculture.
The largest timepiece in the world
is at the Worlds Fair, and may be
seen on a slope on the north side of
Agriculture Hill. The dial of this
great clock is 112 feet in diameter.
The frame work is steel, of course,
but it is so covered with flowers that
it appears to have been built entirely
of flowers, and for that reason 1t is
popularity known as the floral clock. I"
Germany's participation in this
Worlds Fair surpasses anything that
that great nation has ever done at any
other international exposition. The

looking the Cascades, is faithful

meant a whole lot of trouble for him.
But by the time he had made four
trips twenty-three head of steers were
back with their old comrades in the
Duck Bar and Mccormick was more
than a thousand dollars out The count
had been made, and of course it
wasn't made over. The vent brands
hadn't been put on the cattle, and no
one could prove that there had been
any rustling.
Mccormick moved the herd on in
a few days, and, so far as know, he
never discovered that his bunch was
short-things were done on such an
extensive scale in those days that a
few head in or out didn't make so
much difference. The Duck Bar out
fit sent lot of cattle to Kansas City
that fall, and 1 happened to be there
when they arrived. 1 noticed some
three-year-old steers among them.
Il thought you had sold all your
three-yearolds to Mccormick / said.
$50 we did, said Billy with a
smile. But there is one carload of
them in this bunch, and that is just
what Mccormick had to pay for that
bottle of whisky he sent us last July.

than has been assembled on two
square miles comprising the Louisiana
Purchase Exposition.
More than a thousand native Filipi-
nos are living in the 40-acre Philip
pine tract at the Worlds Fair. Their
homes have been reproduced in st.
Louis and they are counterparts of
those left behind in the Pacific archi-
pelago. The Filipino colony en-
braces representatives from many
tribes, and Americans and Europeans
will be interested in seeing the SUBJ
jects that Uncle Sam acquired with
the Philippine islands, and in learn
ing Of their lives and habits.
Besides the native villages, the
Philippine commission, which has ex-
pended nearly $1,000. 900 on the exhi-
bit, has erected replicas of many of
the most famous buildings on the is
lands. Several bits Of old Spanish
architecture are sure to delight all
visitors.

The landscape Of the Worlds Fair
is a feature of diversified beauty. 1t
embraces hill and valley, plateau and
lowland. In the Cascade region alone
more than 1000, 900 brilliantly colored
Towering and foliage plants are used
in the creation of the Rainbow Gar
dens. More than 10000. 900 plants are
used in identifying other sections of
the grounds. All of the main avenues
are delightfully."- shaded with rows of
silver naples. and in several sections
there are great groups of forest
trees that ever afford a delightful
shade.
The largest engine in the world is
an exhibit in the Palace of Machinery.
This monster with a power equal to
that OF 5000 horses, occupies a space
in the center of the great structure.
and towers 35 feet in the air. 1t is
as large as an ordinary three-story
house. Altogether the engines devel-
op a power of so, 900 horses. At the

which more nearly than any other
similar enterprise approaches the
present in magnitude, the greatest
power developed was 10000 horse
