ceiving it is requested to return 81; if
he doesn't want it, he is asked to send
the book back.
More dollars than books are returned
to Ketehum. While Ketchum undoubt-
edly has far easier time than be would
if he were a convict in state prison,
his treatment Is about the same as that
accorded to United States prisoners
throughout New England, and probably,
for that matter, elsewhere in the United
States
Sheriff Cobb says that Ketchum is
treated just as the deputy United States
marshal who brought him to the place
says he should be treated. He was not
q well man when he came TO Middle
bury, and he was not, therefore, COM
PEELED to undertake the work that some
prisoners would be given. Mr.. Cobb was
also informed that Kctchum was trust
worthy in every respect, and that his
action at darlington gave evidence that
he would not attempt to escape, so he
has been known in both places as
trusty,p and he has never violated the
confidence reposed in him. a
Sheriff Cobb holds, therefore, that to
blame him for continuing the same
Course OF treatment that was in vogue
at Burlington is unfair, and is done
only with the idea OF inluring him with
the people OF the county and his supe-
Iior officers. The keeper was very glad
to take representative of The Herald
into the Jail and introduce him to Ketch-
UNI
'sThere is the man. said the sheriff,
they said he had valet here. Does he
look as if he needed its'
ketchun's appearance certainly is not
cate that If Davis acted as his valet, he
was very incompetent in the perform
snce Of his duties. ketchum was attired
today in d rough blue shirt and light
colored trousers. He wore SLOUGH hat
and looked like western cowboy.

An Amateur Assayer

IOriginaII
A stagecoach drove up to the hotel
In prosperous mining town In the far
west. and a gentleman in clothes of an
eastern cut got out. After having sup
ped he fell into conversation with a
rough specimen Of the country.
"Minen ingeneer, be y'g' said the
westerner. with slight tinge Of irony.
Reckon ye're tribe late In these
parts. We had minen' ingeneers and
assayers here afore the stuff was dis
covered, but they didn't hit nothen'."
"Who found the gold?" asked the
stranger.
WAL, there's yarn about that"
replied the other. II been in this place
ever since we was handful o. people
with no way to come and 90 except on
foot or by horse or mule. They We're
linden gold all around us, but nary a
fnd right here. Finally there was
stage line run through for the benefit
OF the mines beyond. and In time the
telegraph was put on. The telegraph
operator was a young Teller with
wife and four children and was gitten

what salary he got. but ii wasn't
enough to keep his family out o. rags
and from looken' hungry, The operator
didn't git much sympathy, for Instead
o tryen' to do extra work to help
along he was foolen' his time away
with rrluGa hptfln, al aat7Ss on1 cfnk
things. The next thing we knowed
there was Sign stuck up on the tele-
graph Office Williams Harris. Assayer.'
WAL, we all laughed at the telegraph

there wasn't notheu' to do

find out what they was given him. 1t
turned out that they had put up Job
on him by chippeu of piece Of his
own doorstep and give 1t ia him to

sayed $3.50 to the ton. They was laugh
en- at him and poken' fun at him till
the poor Teller was ready to have the
ground open and swaller him Only
one on 'em didn't jeer, and be tole him
that he had job O ilggen' founda-

he'd better take ana make one decen,

WAL. instead O. goen' to work Billy
went to his cabin, where his wife put
her arms around his neck ard comfort

Dunno says Billy.

Story of His Keeping a Valet
Denied.
POLITICS IN JAIL CHARGES
Keeper Cobb Holds That Privileges
Granted to Ketchum Are Custom
ary-Ketchum Sick Man When
He Went to Middlebury.

Middlebury, June 5.-AlI through the
county excitement is at fever heat over
the situation Of affairs at the county
Jail in this town, and it is not unlikely
that one of the liveliest of political con-
tests will result as an outcome Of the
discussion over the relations made. On
one side it is apparent that certain peo-
pie are after the position which Deputy
Sheriff Cobb has held over 33 years, and
that they intend to use as lever against
him the privileges he allows his noted
prisoner, j. w. Ketchum at the institu-
ton.
On the other hand, there is evidently
a studied effort on the part of numerous
leaders of the Addison and Chittenden
county rings to squeeze Mr.. Ketchum as
hard as they can, in view of the APP
proaeh of his discharge from custody.
The case against the deputy sheriff
and his prisoner is based on the freedom
from ordinary prison restraint which
the former legislator, newspaper owner
and banker has been allowed, and the
fact that he is permitted to transact
business and enter into plans for max.
ing money just as if he were not serv-
ing a sentence.
He is not permitted to 60 beyond the
Jail Enclosure and he cannot walk III
town, but he is free to move about the
grounds of the institution as he sees fit
and he is not under lock and key ex.
cept at night, when the key is turned
in the door of his room after he retires
During the day he spends most of his
time in the office Of the prison, but oc-
casionally does some chores, and he i;
of great assistance to Deputy Cobb in
special clerical work.
With all these, however, Ketchum has
plenty of time to attend to his literary
iabors, and he gives no little attention
to the advertising and sale of his
"Ketchum's Handy Returns. book
compiled for the benefit of sheriffs, dep,
uty sheriffs, and court officers. 1t gives
the form of attachments, mittimus, cer-
tifcates, etc, as used in Vermont, and
is very handy and complete volume
especially for country officials. It is
Ketehums custom to send the book to
different officials throughout the state
with suggestion that it be examined.
If the book is desired, the party re

USED HUSBAND TO DRAW pLow.
Reported Case of Cruelty to Animals
Proved to Be Cruelty to Husbands.

Kansas City, Mo-, June 25.--The spec
tacle of a man being driven to a pillow,
hitched with a pony to make the team,
greeted the eyes of w. H. Gibbons, field
officer OF the humane society, when he
responded to a call near Raytown. Mr..
Gibbons was notified that there was
a case of cruelty to animals at.the place
which required his immediate attention.
Although out Of the city limits, he de-
cided to investigate the case.
II found on looking up the call" said
Mr.. Gibbons, shat It was more Of a
case Of cruelty to husbands. A ZOO
pounds woman was driving, hitched to
a pillow, a team consisting Of small

ed about 1875 pounds and was doing
his best to keep up with the pony.

and get either another horse or another
man. She got the horse"

In THROES
OF WAR FEVER
The French Public is Getting
Excited.
OVER MOROCCO SITUATION
Armies Active on the Frontier-Govern-
ment and Diplomatic Circles Deny
That Crisis Is at
Hand.

Paris, June 24.--The French public is
in the throes of the war fever for the
first time since the Fashoda incident.
Whether it viii result in anything SER
ious depends on Germany's response to
the French note on Morocco, but, with
out considering the exact status of the
diplomatic negotiations, a considerable
element of the public and press seri-
ously discuss the possibilities of re-.
sort to arms. Army circles are particu-
larly active, and at the military clubs
the officers are mainly engaged in max
ing comparison of the forces of France
and Germany. While the financial lead
ers scout the idea of war, yet the spec
ulative element has been quick to seize
the opportunity to raid French rentes,
which, when they closed Saturday night,
showed fall on one franc eight CEN
times within the week. The official
view is that the situation, while delicate,
does not present any aspect of danger
or a crisis involving a rupture of rela-
tions. This is the governmental view,
and naturally presents the most favor
able aspect Of the controversy. How
ever, the ambassadors Of the leading
powers express impartial opinions fully
sustaining the view Of the government.
It is pointed out in diplomatic quar-
tiers that the worst aspect of the Moroc-
can question does not present a casus
belli.
An analysis of the controversy shows
that the sultan of Morocco invited the
powers to a conference. Germany urges
the powers, including France, to accept.
Premier Rouvier's latest note shows the
willingness of France to consider con-
ference if Germany explains her pur-
poses, but eten should France decline
TO accept this, refusal of the invitation
does not constitute a case for war.
a diplomat summed up the situation by
saying that the complete failure of the
present negotiations would not mean
var, as the controversy then would pro-
coed along new lines. 1t would doubt

less lead to direct appeals to the sultan,
with view to securing the upper hand
in Morocco. While the pessimistic ele-
ment foresees that Germany will seek
pretext for trouble, yet the actual state
of affairs does not warrant such gloomy
forebodings.
The controversy serves to call atten-
ton to the complete state of readiness
of the French military system to meet
any emergency. The present peace foot
ing of the army is $4,000 men. This
force Is organized on an elastic basis,
whereby the doubling and tripling Of
the strength of each company doubles
and triples the aggregate army. The
first and second reserves are made up
of trained men, who, heretofore, have
completed the military service which
the state requires all citizens to COM
plete. The equipment of the reserves
is always kept in readiness at the bar
racks. Military experts say that the
calling of the first reserves to the colors
would probably furnish an immediate
force of approximately q million train
ed men, and thereafter the second re-
serves and the territorial militia would
permit of much further expansion. The
system Of mobilization and equipment
has undergone great improvement as the
result Of lessons learned during the last
war. Annual manoeuvres, which consti-
tute mobilization on small scale, are
frequent and tests of mobilization occur
in various districts in which the full
strength Of horses, wagons, trains and
equipments are quickly assembled. This
military preparedness has no direct
bearing on the present German contro-
versy, but the military critics cite it
as evidence that France is not likely
to again suffer from the confusion and
delay at the beginning of the last war.
