Of adventures ended. For one brief.
glorious season the nomnd and the
home dweller shook hands In amfty,
not parsing to consider wherein their
interests might differ. For both, this
was the West, the free, unbounded,
illimitable, exhaustless West-Homer-
ic, Titanic, scornful of metes and
bounds, having no scale of little
things. The horizon of life was wide.
There was no time for small exact
ness. A newspaper, SO called, cost a
quarter Of dollar. The postmaster
gave no change when one bought q
postage stamp. A shave was worth .
quarter of a dollar. or a half, or q
dollar, as that might be. The price
OF a single drink was never estab-
lished, since that was something never
called for. BY day and by night.

The transient population Of Ellis
Vile, the cattle sellers and cattle buy

three to one the resident or perma-

floating trade, and which supplied its
commercial or professional wants.

progress such as the world has T-var
elsewhere seen; but first there must
be played the wild prologue Of the
West, never at any time to have a
more lurid scene than here at the
Halfway House of a continent, at the
intersection Of the grand transconti-
mental trails, the bloody angle of the
plains. Eight men in a day, a score
in a week, met death by violence.
The street in the cemetery doubled
before that of the town. There were
more graves than houses. This su-
perbly wasteful day, how could It
presage that which was to come? In
this riotous army of invasion, who
could have foreseen the population
which was to follow, adventurous yet
tenacious, resolved first upon inde-
pendence, and next upon knowledge.
and then upon the fruits Of knowl-
edge? Nay, perhaps, after all, the
prescience Of this coming time lay
over Ellisville the Red, SO that It
roared the more tempestuously on
through its brief, brazen day.

Gar Arre.ted-For a Minute.

Motorists will be amused to hear of
an adventure which befell the czar
when he was staying at Darmstadt a
short time ago. The czar was driving
in a motor car with Prince and Prin-
cess Henry of Prussia and the Grand
Duke of Hesse. and, when passing
through Bockenheim. a suburb OF
Frankfort, the car slipped on the
greasy cobble-stones and came in con-
tact with the wall of house. Happily
no harm was done, but the car had
hardly been backed into the road again
when a policeman stopped it and de-
manded the name of the owner. The
czar replied Il am the Emperor Of
Russia" and the policeman was SO
taken aback that he let the car go on
without taking any further steps. The
czarina was much amused at the in
cident, and it Is said that she has
made the momentary arrest Of the
car the subject of one of her carica.
