quite "a Large Mine.

Senator Patterson, of Colorado, tells
of Cripple Creek character named
Burns, says an exchange. He was an
odd person, who always, no matter
what his work, wore what used to be
called a prince Albert" He struck
a rich vein of ore, and named that the
Prince Albert. Being of a generous
and convivial disposition, this lucky
fellow was, of course, surrounded by
many self-seeking friends. When he
and they We're in their cups some of
them, with an eye to the main chance,
managed to wheedle out of Burns, on
one pretext or another, deed of a
share in his mine. With royal prodigal-
ity he scattered deeds about among
his retainers and camp followers, until
finally something had to be done, and
the case was taken into court. Senator
Patterson, of Denver, was one of the
lawyers. He had Burns on the stand.
Now, Mr.. Burns" said Senator Pat
terson, will you please tell the court
how you can explain your conduct?
The evidence shows that you have
decided away twenty-nine twenty
fourths Of your mine. What have you
to say to that?" "Well Misther Pat
terson,' replied the witness, you must
remember, sor. that the Prince Albert
is very large mine."

A John Allen Sorry.

Private John Allen. the Mississippi
congressman. was making a strong
effort to secure the removal of a Re-
publican postmaster and the appoint
ment of Democrat during one of the
administrations of Mr.. Cleveland, says
the New York Sun. He had made
two futile calls at the White House
and the third time the President said
rather bluntly:
seem to apply in this case and it is
useless for you to keep insisting on
the removal of this postmaster"
Allen was silent for moment and
then he said:
Mr.. President, don't want to take
up your time by recalling that in your
campaign l left my beloved state and
stumped for you in New York, nor do
/ care to estimate to what extent the
twenty-seven speeches / made up
there were responsible for the LOO
majority by which you carried the
state and won your election.
Neither do l wish to recall my ex-
hibition of joy on that election night
an exhibition which resulted in my
wife's not speaking to me for week.
But, Mr.. President, l just want to
tell you little story before L go.
Down in my district fairly
wealthy farmer died and his kin be-
gan squabbling over the estate. The
mans son hired me as his attorney
and the case dragged through the
courts.
Zone day the son came into my of
flee and asked me if he couldn't ex-
pect a settlement soon, as his money
was nearly gone.
Its no use, Jim' 1 said, you
can't hurry the Supreme Court of the
great state of Mississippi
The young fellow sat for minute
or two with his head resting in his
hands and then he got up to go.
Mr.. Allen, he said, do you know,
sometimes 1 wish father hadn't died. ;"
Allen didn't get that postmaster
ship for his man, but he got bet
ter political plum within a week.

RoosEvELT,s GRANDFATHER.

From the st. Louis Globe-Democrat
ut is an almost forgotten historical
fact that the grandfather of President
Roosevelt was the first man to navi-
gate q steamboat on the Ohio and Mis-
sissippi rivers" Mr.. Charles C. Allen
tells me.
capt. Roosevelt was a warm per-
sonal friend of Robert Fulton, the in
ventor of steam craft, and soon after
Fulton's successful voyage on the Hud-
son he conceived the idea of launch
ing such a vessel on the Western
rivers. A good deal of doubt was ex-
pressed as to the practicability of the
undertaking, but Capt. Roosevelt was
enthusiastic, and along about 1910 made
a personal survey of the Ohio and
Lower Mississippi to determine it's fea-
sibiltty beyond all peradventure.
THE result of his survey was en-
tirely to his satisfaction, and, return
ing to Pittsburg, he began the con-
struction of a steamboat from plans
furnished him by Fulton and Living
stone. In the spring of 1911 the yes
sci was launched, and, accompanied by
his. wife, who had the true pioneer
spirit and refused to be left behind.
the Presidents grandfather began his
voyage down the Ohio He entered the
Mississippi during the throes of the
earthquake which devastated so much
of Southeastern Missouri, but weather.
ed the tumult successfully and con-
tinued his trip to New Orleans, where
he arrived short time after, the first
man to build a steamboat west of the
Alleghanies and the first to navigate
one on Western waters.
1T is an interesting historical fact
in itself, and doubly interesting for
existing reasons.

TIE BEEF TRUST INoUIRv.

1t is announced that a new method
of getting evidence against the beef
trust is about to be adopted. The
commissioner of corporations, under
the authority of the Department of
Commerce, has arranged to set up
court in the cities in which the great
packing houses are situated and to
call such witnesses as he believes will
give the testimony that is desired. He
will hold a court like that which is
held by the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
For many weeks detectives have
been in Chicago, Kansas City and
other places where there are packing
houses, seeking the kind of evidence
that the department wants. They have
not interviewed any witness, but they
know the men who can give the testi-
mony that is needed. AS soon as the
court of the commissioner of corpora
lions is opened these men, as they
are wanted, will be called. Some of
them are connected with the packing
houses, some with the banks, and
some with the railroads. In fact, it is
expected that some of the most valua-
BILE testimony will be given by railroad
men. The great trunk lines are said
to be about tired of being made the
playthings of the beef trust. They
would much prefer to have the ship
ments of the packing houses open to
competition. At present the beef trust
dictates the prices at which cattle
shall be transported to market and
the beef to the various distributing
points. The railroads, 1t is said, are
compelled to accept the rates which
the trust fixes.
IT, when all of the facts are brought
out, the trust still persists in defying
the antitrust law-if it will not yield
to the force of publicity-the Attor-
ney General will see what can
be done in the courts towards
bringing the trust to terms. The fight
will doubtless be a long an interesting
one. A trust with so many millions
of dollars involved isn't likely to yield
without a struggle.

CURRENT COMMENT.

The New York World says: Thomas
w. Lawson, whatever may be said of
his character, methods and purposes,
is financially responsible Those ag-
grieved at his printed charges would
present a better appearance by pro-
ceeding against him under laws which
amply cover the case than by threat
ening a distributor in advance Of the
distribution of the magazine contain
ing those charges"
The New York Post says: Repre-
sentative Livingston's resolution, call
ing on the Agricultural Department for
the data on which it's recent cotton
crop estimate was based, is perfectly
proper. The publication on Dec. 3, of
the governments conjecture as to the
size OF the seasons crop, is a matter
which affects profoundly the interests
of producers and consumers. For our
selves, we have always contended that
the publication of such an estimate,
at this time. is of questionable pro-
priety. The crop, as a rule, Is not
even picked by Dec. 3, and IL is not
at all unusual for the harvesting to
be still in progress, in many impor-
tant cotton states, as late as the mid
die of December. In its estimates on
the grain crops, the Agricultural De-
partment makes no attempt to give the
actual figures until the crops have been
harvested and largely marketed. IN
III that time, 1t contents itself with
mere estimates of planted acreage and
average condition."

aIoopY,s PROPOSED BILL.

The President seems determined to
get his views before Congress on the
railroad rate question in the shape OF
bill. 1t is stated that Attorney Gen
eral Moody is engaged in the prepara-
ton of a bill which will embody the
views OF the administration on this
question, and that it will be introduced
into the House Immediately after the
holidays. The President is quoted as
saying that the bill he is willing to
support must be fair to the railroads
as well as the people.
He would be a rather queer Presi-
dent if he were willing to support a
bill that was generally admitted to be
unfair to either the railroads or the
people, but who is to say when a bill
is fair to all interests? The Presi-
dent knows very little about the sub
ject. What he knows is general. He
has been told by the Interstate Com
merce Commission that great inequali-
ties in the rates exists and that there
are determinations in the shape of re-
bates that are very unjust to a large
percentage of shippers, but he isn't
prepared to say what rates would be
fair and what wouldn't be. 1t would
take him a year, perhaps longer, to
get such knowledge of railroad rates
as to enable him to say what would
be fair rates for both the railroads
and the people. Hence. when he says
that he viii not support bill that
isn't fair to both the railroads and the
people he presents problem that is
difficult to solve.
Undoubtedly there is going to be
some sort of legislation for the regu-
lation of interstate railroad rates. The
officials of the principal railroads seem
to be agreed that such legislation is
necessary, but it isn't probable that
anything will be done in the direc-
ton of adjusting interstate rates dur
ing this Congress. The subject is one
that is going to take a great deal of
time There will be bills and bills,
and the committee that will have
charge of the matter may be occupied
for months in making up it's report,
but there will be legislation. There
isn't much doubt about that, but
whether or not the Interstate Com
merce Commission will be given au-
thority to make rates or whether some
other commission will be created for
That purpose is a question that is still
in doubt.

stnge vilInin,s Kevenge.

Richard Mansfield. the actor. was
discussing the subject of vengeance,
says an exchange.
Vengeance, as a rule" he said,
should be left to the gods. 1 can't
help sympathizing, though, with the
vengeance that a stage villain took on
his manager last year in the West.
1.-THE villain was supposed, at the
end of the first act, to plunge a knife
in his heart and to die Very hard
when his cue came he did plunge
in the knife; but then. instead of dy-
ing, he lay down on the floor, crossed
his legs, and burst into loud laughter,
the dagger still sticking in his breast.
1.-THE audience was amazed and stu
pefied at such unreasonable conduct.
The actors on the stage could not go
on, fo~ they were, amazed and stupefied
too. The manager, nearly beside him
self, Kissed from the wings in loud
whisper:
You fool, what are you laughing
at? This is your death scenep
Death scene!' said the recumbent
villain. Yes. l know it is, and with
such a salary, as you give me death
comes as a happy release

Red Fork. I. T.. Dec. 1S.-Like the
trail of serpent a sluggish stream
of oil will in the near future, he
pushing half way across the conti-
nent.
Starting from Red Fork, it will pur-
sue it's course across Kansas to Kan
sas City. across Missouri, under the
Mississippi river and across Illinois to
Whiting, near Chicago; across Indiana
to Cygnet, O., where it will receive
a fresh impulse from the largest oil
pumping station in the world; across
Ohio and the northwestern corner of
Pennsylvania to Olean, N. Y, the juno
ton point of the different pipe lines,
and thence across New York and
Northern New Jersey to the refineries
of the Standard Oil Company at Bay
onne, N. j., and Newtown Creek, New
York citys reaching the latter by a
line laid under the Hudson river, Cen
trail Park and the East river.
One of the few sections of the pipe
line which remains to be completed is
that between Kansas City and Whit
ing, line of pipe having already been
laid from Red Fork to Kansas City.
Twenty thousand barrels, the amount
required to fill it, has been pumped
into the latter section from the storage
tanks at Kansas City.
There is a man to watch every foot
of all these pipe lines. Little of the
oil escapes after it has flowed into
the pipes. tt
In order that the flow of oil may
not be decreased by the collection of
