Burke and His Associates.

The free and easy of the
political and literary friends with
whom Burke associated are exhibited
by n personal anecdOte. He often ask
ed his friends to sup OF beefsteak or
a leg Of mutton. One night the house
sat late, ard Burke brought home to
supper Fox and two or three more of
the Wing politicians. Mrs. Burke's
face told of the i'll provided larder.
Surely" said the host, answering his
wife's look of annoyance, there's beef
enough!"
Fox and another gentleman, seeing
the state of affairs, hurried off to a
tavern, where they obtained such
dishes as could be purchased. Amid
much laughter, they returned and set
the table with the food they had for
aged. Burke called them the most
skillful of walters. and there was an
amusing, satisfactory supper.

A BibIe Legend of the Panther.

One of the oldest stories in the 'Bes-
tlaries," or stories of Bible animals
written by the monks, Is the legend Of
the panther. 'The panther" so the
homily runs, "is the most beautiful Of
all beasts. More than this. when 1t
goes abroad it diGfuses a marvellous
sweet perfume. This odor is so sweet
that all the other beasts and birds fol
low the panther wherever it goes.
Wherefore the panther is Il type of vir-
tue" Perhaps the old monks who Dor
rowed and cmbellished this story had
heard of and misunderstood the strong
love of sweet scents which the panther
and its relations, the lions and Loop
ards, often show.-LondOn Spectator.

READY FOR TRIAL IN ONE CASE
Senator Mitchell Enters Plea OF Not
Guilty to Three Charges.

Portland, Ore, April l2.-Judge
Bellinger's court was crowded when
the time arrived for Senator John IL.
Mitchell to plead to four indictments
found against him by the late federal
grand jury.
In a plea Of abatement Senator
Mitchell challenged the acts of the
late federal grand jury by charging
specifically that Jurors w. Robertson
and Carl Phelps, the original foreman
and secretary respectively, had been
legally excused for the term pending
the Investigations; that Jurors Frank
G. Buffum and George Peebler had
been sworn in some time after the
grand jury had been empanelled; thai
Juror George Gustin was not a citi-
zen of the United States; that Jurors
Frank Bolter and Joseph Essner were
not tax payers, as required by law;
and that District Attorney Hen2y was
disqualified in many ways, besides be-
ing prejudiced.
The plea OF abatement was based
upon the case wherein Senator Mitch
ell Is accused Of accepting pay
through the law firm Of Mitchell &
Tanner to expedite land titles before
the legal department at Washington
in behalf of Frederick A. Kribs.
Judge Alfred S. Bennett of The
Dalles, as attorney for Senator Mitch
ell, announced that there was a ques'
ton of moral turpitude involved in
the case wherein Senator Mitchell is
accused of accepting $1,000 from S. A
ID. Puter and therefore he would
waive all legal te~chnicalities and be
ready to proceed to trial without de
lay upon the issues at stake.
Judge Bennett entered a plea o
not guilty for the senator In three Of
the cases against him-two for con
spiracy and n for accepting money
while holding the position of United
States senator to expedite title before
the land department.

PRESIDENT IN HUNT
1ATcHEs WOLF AND KILLS Elk
FOOT RATTLEsNAKE.


VIII Make His First Colorado
Camp In the Huntsman Hills, Noted
for ,ts Big Game.
Oklahoma City, Okla, April H.
PRESIDENT Roosevelt featured the Sec
end day of his hunt in the big pas
sure" by capturing alive q full grown
and combative coyote without a
scratch. The wolf had been overtaken
and downed by the dogs and while 1t
was fighting its attackers the presi-
dent slipped from his horse n
caught the wolf by It's jaws, rendering
it helpless. This feat, which Is &C
somplished by few plainsmen and
cowboys, brought forth a round OF APP
olause from those who witnessed 1t.
The guide, John Alternately, who is
noted as the champion wolf catcher
Of the southwest, captured the first
wolf on Monday in this manner and
at that time the president announced
his intention of initiating the feat.
Seven other wolves were caught dur
ing the day, all being taken by the
more usual method Of allowing the
dogs to finish the animals.
The president ran upon a six.foot
Battlesnake, which leaped at him four
times. He killed this with his quirt.
It is reported from points contigu
Gus to the pasture reserve that tho
president Is so greatly pleased with
the sport and outing which he Is n
toying that he may prolong his stay
until Saturday. II cannot be learned
here whether he has fully decided up
on changing his program, but In case
ne remains in the reserve he will like.
Iy leave in time Saturday to arrive at
his Colorado hunting grounds Monday.
Glenwood Springs. Colo, April H.
President Roosevelt will make his
6rst Colorado camp in the Huntsman
hills. twenty-three miles south OF New
castle. Guide John Golf has received
q telegram from Secretary Loeb say
ing that 1t was the wish of the presi-
dent to begin the hunt with a chase
after bear. This necessitates a
change in the plans. for Goff and
Borah had arranged to make the first
camp on the White river plateau, a
district OF mountain lions. They had
expected to stay there three weeks
and then go to Huntsman hills for bear.
Soon after receiving the message
Borah and Goff left Newcastle to es.
tablish the flrst camp. 1t will be near
the Johnson ranch, on the Divide
river. This country is noted for its
large game and old hunters declare
that the president will be surfeited
with sport.
The understanding is now that the
party will track over the Huntsman
Hills, taking about two weeks to make
the trip, and that they will then go
INTO Red Stone. where the president

few moments OF biting and tearing left
nothing but the battered mechanism on
the sidewalk. Both the the fakir and
the woman were powerless to interfere,
and everybody else enjoyed the flight
SO much that they would not interfere,
consequently the demolition Of the boar
was effected in short time. When a
policeman arrived he found satisfied
fakir with more than twice the price of
the bear added to his wealth; a flushed
woman, a victorious poodle and dis
persiug crowd OF smiling men and boys.
