HE WOULD TAKE NO RISKS.
Cowboy Wanted to Have Decent

Cowboy Wanted to Have Decent
Chance Of Spending His Money.
In the West" said Mr.. William
Sturgis Of Cheyenne, WyO-, the people
take very slowly TO the notion that
government should busy itself in the
endeayor to regulate public morals.
For that reason, although we have
q pretty stifT state anti-gambling law,
the statute is of little potency, and the
boys gather in the old familiar centers
to bet their coin against faro, roulette,
hazard or poker.
Not long ago one Of my clients, Of
the cowboy tribe, who had deposited
81 900 with me, made a trip to town.
and for several days got me to let him
have about 500 per diem. I thought
he was trying his luck at faro, and
finally. when he had spent just half
his capital, 1 advised him that the
writing of checks was getting mOnOt-
onOus. and that if he meant to keep on
playing to withdraw the remaining
$500 in a lump, so that he need not
bother TO hunt for me. At the same
time 1 advised him in strong terms to
stop then and there and take no
chances in losing the money he had
acquired through months Of patient
toll on the plains He heard me
through with the utmost patience, TAX
ing no apparent heed Of my rebuke
and then said: I know what you say
is true. Judge; but suppOsing I should
die right sudden and get no chance to
spend that other S5OO?' Washington

Now that the price Of coal. fOm,
beef and some other necessities IS
advancing. Secretary Shaw is feeling
better politically. for according to his
idea high prices are a sure sign OF
prosperity. The man VINO is called
uDon to pay the advance Is not feeling
so jrbiIant. especially he who is still
working for the same wages And
then there are those who have had
their wages cut and those who are

Recorder Pickersgill, at Perth Am

Andrew explained to the recorder
that he and Julia were once lovers,
and that while he was counting he
made her a present Of half a book of

jected him, and their engagement was
broken. Andrew thought that as he
was Tilted he should have the stamps

The Market Price of Titles.

A dealer in foreign titles and decor
atoms, in response to an inquisitive
inquirer, gives the price Of the COM
mOdities he offers. The title of count
costs 10000 francs; viscOunt, % 900;
baron, $4,000. These are Spanish.
"Chevalier'' is naturally much less
expensive, the highest order being for
sale at 5000 francs.
The red. black and white rosette OF
the Red Cross, given for aid to the
wounded on land and sea, can actually
be purchased for 1900 francs; no
further qualification being necessary
than the payment Of this sum. One
month sufices the intermediary to Sc
cure this decoration to the candidate
who desires it. The higher titles
necessitate a delay Of five or six
months

Pleasure and Politics.

II anyone thinks that President
Roosevelt is not busy these days.
because he is not talking for publiea-
ton, they are much mistaken. The
President is fully employed from
morning 10 night, although he only
deTOtes 2 short hour for the duties
Of his ONCE II frets and worries him
that he cannot be more in the public
eye, but the Republican leaders have
impressed on him that he must keep
quiet So he takes long tramps, rides
and drives, camps out, boxes, wres-
ties, fences with the broadswOrd and
single sticks, rows, chops trees, plays
tennis with his cabinet-the younger
members-shoots with rife and re-
vOIver, and to MI in spare time ifu
jitsu, the japanese muscular training
formula These are the amusements.
Then there are political conferences
with Plat, Odell, Root, Lodge, COrtel-
you, Addicks, Black and Lou Peyn.
and fixing things with Morgan, Still
man, Gould, and other Wall street and
trust magnates, all Of which takes
time and lots Of it.
In fact, most Of the time Of Mr.
Roosevelt since he was accidentaIIy
indicted into the presidential Office
has been occupied in like strenuous
occupation, much to the detriment of
the serious business Of the govern
ment- Think Of the record-breaking
swing around the circle at the ex-
pense Of the railroads" says the New
York World; the balancing Of Platt
and OdeII, the placating Of this enemy
and the crushing Of that, the careful
selection of delegates, the procuring
OF copper-bOund instructions, the
choice Of a running mate, the elimi-
nation Of all but the plastic Cortelyou
from consideration for national chair
man, the canning Of the platform,
the choice Of orators, the revision
and tOning down Of those extravagant
words Of eulOgy which rose so sponta-
neOusly from the fuIlness of his heart
to the lips Of Frank S. Black-would
it be too much to say that these mat
ters of such great personal import
occupied half Of his waking hours and
all Of his dreaming ones?
The personal strain must have
been great, the presidential strain
greatly exaggerated"

Broke the SHELL.

A small group of men and women
stood before Michael Angeles IA
nous statue of Moses, in the Church
Of San Pietro in VincOii at Rome.
There was not an artist among the
number, yet as they gazed on the won
derful masterpiece which represents
Moses as on the point of spTinging
from his seat in indignation at the
idolatry of the Jews all were silent
IN admiration.
A newcomer Joined the group, a lit
tie, thin man with the spiritual ex-
preston of one who has prayed and
tasted much. The clerical cut of his
clothes proclaimed his calling. Max
ing his way to the front of the group,
he gazed for a moment, then turning
to the man at his side, he announced
in A shrill, childish voice:
4 jest bet old Moses could have
licked John L. Sullivan any day. Look
at them arms-eh?"
The little crowd had silently left.
The spell had been brOken.-Phila-

TIE Trust RARoNs.
Like Their Prototypes of Old, They
Become Too Powerful.

Like Their Prototypes of Old, They
Become Too Powerful.
When the feudal barOns Of old
first began to wax strong they con-
fined their depredatOns TO their i'm
mediate vicinity, but as they increased
in power and wealth they surged over
greater territory and contested with
each other for the mastery. It is
much the same with our modern feu-
daI barOns-the trusts They have
gone through the first formative stage
and have become so powerful that
some Of them are aiming at universal
control; and now in the third stage
of their existence are falling foul Of
each other. The railroad barOns are
said to have declared war against the
steel and sugar barOns, of course with
an idea OF plundering them of some
of the wealth they have absorbed
from the people. It is hardly probable
that the consumers will profit by the
contention for all the barOns are
united on one point, and that is to
charge all the traffic will bear, their
fight being as TO who shall retain the
largest percentage
There is some evidence that the
railroad barOns have stopped the pay
ment Of special rebates to the steel
and sugar barOns, and these arrogant
combines are protesting. Some OF the
trust barOns are more fortunate, or
rather were more faT-sighted, for they
control the avenues Of transportation
for their products. and thus make a
double profit The Standard Oil trust
owns or controls most of the pipe
lines. and has a controlling interest in
some of the great railroads, and a
large interest in others. The anthra-
cite coal trust is the most complete
monopoly. as it not only owns most
Of the coal fields. but also most OF
the railroads that reach the coal fields.
The coal barOns make more profit
from transportation than from the
mining of the coal, and plumber every
one who buys a ton by about dou-
bling the price II should be sold at.
The beef barOns have created a mo-
nopoly in another way; they control
the stock yards and the refrigerator
cars that the beef must be carried in.
The power OF the barOns Of old was
I curbed by the OverlOrdship of the king
or emperor. and in turn by the peO-
PIE themselves, who controlled legis-
lation. In the United States to-day
the trusts are so powerful that they
control the majority Of the representa-
tfves Of the people, and there is none
to curb them
There never was 4 time more urg-
eut for the people to scan closely
the record of those who are TO repre-
sent their interests, and to demand Of
those who seek their suffrage a pledge
that they viii vote TO reform the sys-
TEN before 1t becomes beyond control
The tariff is one Of the chief bulwarks
Of the trust barOns. and the reduction
Of the protection that was enacted IN
the interest OF monopoly must be the
first step in unhOrsing the trusts
