There is decided drouth With
reference TO the proposed rail-
road from Amarillo 10 the
South" these days. Allthe talk
now among the newspapers Is
the extension from Quanah via
Hale Center to Roswell. Last
week some men connected with
this movement were at Plainview
and other points on the South
Plains and there was plenty OF
feteing and lots of talk. Guam
ali thinks il is going, sure, and
perhaps it is. The Fort Worth
Record under date of May -,
published the following special
concerning this project from
Oklahoma City;
1t was announced here today
that the Frisco railroad would
be extended 100 miles west Of
Qnanah, Texas, as soon as
possible. G.. j. Jones. who built
the extension from Oklahoma
City to Quanah, has just return
ed from an inspection OF the new
ronte, aud will be identified with

ate objective point is Hale
Center, Texas, about half way

where he won high money in the
grand American handicap. Thousands
Of expert shots from all over the Unit
ed States were eligible TO this contest
and Barber did not win without a live
ly contest.
No only did this man make the
highest score this year but it was the
best that has been made in the history
Of the Grand American handicap. Mr..
BARRIERS score was 80, last year the
winner made but sc and in previous
years the score was "a, 81, %, and 81
respectively.
BY winning first in the handicap, Mr..
Barber received $4,000 in cash, a $500
shot gun and two silver cups. When
he arrived at his home in Paullina he
was greeted by the Germantown brass
band and a delegation of citizens head
ed by Mayor B. j. Maytum. He was
carried away TO his home on the
shoulders of his friends.
An interesting feature Of the contest
at Indianapolis was that just before
the tourney opened, Barber notched a
four-leaf dover on the top of his gun.
When the last target was broken, he
lowered his gun and showed the symbol
Of luck TO the other contestants.
Mr.. Barber won the Interstate cham
pionship trophy at the 500 Gun club
tourney at Sioux City two years ago
and last month made a high amateur
score at that clubs tourney. He has
not shot regularly, engaging in tour
neys only when he had time to spare.
He is a man of excellent habits and his
fellow citizens are glad TO see distinc-
tino come to one of this type.

Madame De staeI and Madame Re-

Madame Waddington tells a good
story about Madame de Stael in her
book, italian Letters Of a Diplomats
Wife" My travelling maid she
says, has ar extraordinary faculty for
gett' all she wants-an excellent
trait in a travelling maid. AS you
know, she is very pretty, which again
carries out my theory hat beauty is
the most important gift for a woman.
l dare say it won't bear discussion, and
l ought to "a goodness but my ex-
perie-.ce -oints the other way. L have
so often heard father quote Madame de
Stael (who was very kind to him when
he was a young man in Paris), whom
at the very height OF her triumph as
the great woman's intelligence of her
time, said to him one evening at a big
party in Paris, looking at Madame Re-
camier, Who was beautiful, and sur
round by all that was most distin-
guished and brilliant i'm the room, L
would give all my brains for her
beauty"

NAMES BEST DOCTOR
MR.. BAYSSON PUBLISHES RESULTS
OF VALUABLE EXPERIENCE.
A Former Pronounced Dyspeptic He Now
Reioices i'm Perfect Freedom from
Miseries of Indigestion.

A Former Pronounced Dyspeptic He Now
Rejoices in Perfect Freedom from
Miseries of indigestion.
Thousands Of sufferers know hat the
reason why they are irritable and de.
pressed and nervous and sleepless is be.
cause their food does not digest, but how
to get rid of the difficulty is the pnzzlipg
question.
Good digestion calls for strong diges-
tive organs, and strength m from a
supply Of good rich blood. For this
reason Mr.. Baysson took DIR. Williams
Pink Pills for the m of indigestion.
"They have been my best doctor, he
says. Il was suffering from dyspepsia.
The pains in my stomach after meals
were almost unbearable. My sleep was
very irregular and my complexion was
sallow. AS the result of using eight
boxes of DIR. Williams Pink Pills, about
the merits of which / learned from
friends in France. / have escaped all
these troubles, and am able again to take
pleasure III eating"
A very simple story, but if it had not
beqn for DR.. Williams Pink Pills it
@~T
might have been a tragic one. When dis
comfort begins with eating, fills up the
intervals between meals with pain, and
prevents sleep at night, there certainly
cannot be much pleasure III living. A
final general breaking down must be
merely a question of time.
Mr.. Joseph Baysson is a native of
Ankles Bains, France, but now resides
Mt No. 2439 Larkin street, San Francisco,
Cal. He is one of q great number who
can testify to the remarkable efficacy of
DR.. Williams'P Pink Pills III the treatment
of obstinate disorders Of the stomach.
If you would get rid Of nausea, pain OF
burning in the stomach, vertigo, ner.
vousness, insomnia, or any Of the other
miGeries of a d~yspeptic, get rid of the
WEAKNESS Of the digestive organs by the
use Of DR.. Williams Pink Pills. They
are sold by druggists everywhere.
Proper diet is, of course, a great aid in
forwarding recovery once begun, and q
little book, "Whqt to Eat and How to
Eat" pay be obtained by any Il who
makes a request for it by writing to the
DR.. Win'ams Medical Co., Schenectady,
NY. tbs valuable diet book contains
an i'rportamt chapter on the simplest
means for .he cure of constipation.

Steffens and Mayor Weaver.

Lincoln Steffens, whose story Of Phil
adelphia corrupt and Contented" has
been SO dramatically vindicated by re-
cent events, went down to Philadelphia
a few days ago to get a Whit of the
eXhilarating atmosphere that pervades
the reformed city. Didn't you know
all along" he asked Mayor Weaver,
the rottenness of those fellows you are
turning out only now" NO" said the
mayor, II didn't. / read your 'Phila-
delphia: Corrupt and Contented,' but l
thought you had grossly exaggerated
the conditions" What do you think
about 1t now?" asked the author Of
The Shame of the Cities" Now" re-
piled the mayor II Know that you
grossly underestimated." Lincoln Stef-
fens considers the spectacle of Phila-
delphia aroused the greatest story he
has met in American politics, even
greater than that depicted in his story
of Ohio, in the current McClure's
where good representative government
has been achieved in Cleveland only to
be defeated in the state.

GRIZZLY BEARS AND PAINTERS
Afraid Of Man, Says Wyoming Hunter;
DANGEROUS Only When Attacked.

Louisville Herald: I'm the noun
tains of Wyoming, where I have hunt-
ed for years, you can find most any
kind Of savage animal that you get in
America except alligators. Grizzlies,
black bears and mountain lions are
commonly killed there says Hugh
Sniverly, of Sheridan, Wyo. Some Of
the men that come out there TO hunt
think that If they stir 100 yards away
from camp they must be armed to the
teeth for fear of being attacked by a
bear or a painter and killed. There's
a heap more danger Of getting killed
on account of leaving your gun at
home when you go down Market street.
Someone might shoot you on the
street in a big city, but it is dead sure
that a bear or a mountain lion will
never attack you unless o drive him
to it.
I've huntsd through the best dis
tricts for big game in his country, and
I've seen a good many grizzlies, but
I've never seen one of them go after
a man unless he was cornered or
wounded. If you run into a grizzly
bear in a lonely place you'll hear a
grunt, something like that of a mann
moth hog, and then there will be a
mighty crashing of underbrush as he
makes off in the opposite direction as
fast as he can go. All % can gener-
ally see Of a mountain lion is a tawny
streak as he makes off at incredible
speed. If he has any intention of 60
ing after o 1t must be his intention
to go around the world and catch you
in the rear, for if you are standing
to the east of him he is sure to go due
west.
Mountain lions in the winter time
will follow sleighs at a distance, vail
ing as they go, blu there is nothing
in that to inspire terror, for l don't
think they ave ever been known to
close in or anybody. Their terror of
human beings is the thing which max s
them hard to shoot. In all the time
that | have been in the mountains |
have never heard of anyone being at
tackled by a wild animal that had been
left stricly alone. But I've known
men to be killed even by deer when
the brute was driven 10 desperation.
Grizzlies are the best game in the
world. When you once get their dam
der up they are savage fighters, and
the hunters life is in danger every
minute unless he is a good shot and
has a steady nerve. If you ever get
within reach of the grizzly's paw you
are a dead one. These stories of men
killing them with knives in hand to
hand fights are about as reasonable
as 1T would be to talk of stopping n
tocoilolINe ny getting IN tnS way or the
rain. If the big fellow gets the
chance to deliver one blow it is all
over. There was a grizzly up our way
that he cowboys called Big Ben who
killed about one hundred and fifty
steers before he was finally shot. He
would break a steers neck at one blow.
and then he would lift him up and
carry him off 10 a secluded place.
Grizzlies look awkward, but they are
mighty light On their feet, and they
can beat any man in n foot race

THE OLDEST LIVING THING.
Said to Be a Huge Cypress Tree 6,26o
Years Old.


st. Louis Globe-Democrat: 'Tho state
meat recently made that there are yews
in England which are the Oldest living
things on earth" Mr.. Thomas c. Ireiand
said, lis not correct.
These Jews are old, very old; there is
no doubt about that: some OF them were
stalwart trees even hafore Caesar landed
on these shores. There is one now stand
ing in the c~hurchyard ut Portugal, in
Perthshire, which Decaudole, nearly q
century ago, proved 10 the satisfaction of
botanists TO be over twenty-five centuries
old, and another at Hedsor, In Buclas,
which is 3,240 years old. How Decandolc
arrived at an apparently correct estimate
of the enormou age of these living trees
is a simple thing, and the principle is
doubtless known today TO all. The yew,
like most trees, adds one line about the
tenth on an inch, to its circumference each
year. He proved this after an investiga-
ton extending over several years, and we
know now a hundred years later, that his
deductions were correct. The old yew at
Hedsor has a trunk twenty-scven feet in
diameter, proving its great age, and II
is in a hourishing, healthy condition now,
like It's brother at Portugal.
Their years are few, though, compared
with those of the trees | had In. mind when
/ made my first assertion that the state
ment printed about them in a scientific
journal was incorrect. In one chapter of
his writings Humboldt refers TO a gigan-
tic boabab tree In central Africa. as the
oldest organic monument in the world.
This tree has a trunk twenty mine feet In
diameter, and Adanson, by a series OF
careful measurements, demonstrated con-
clusively that 1t had lived for not less
than $3.50 years.
still 1t is not the oldest organic monu-
ment in the world, as Humboldt declared,
for now Mexican scientists ave proved
that a huge cypress treeJ standing in
Chepultepec, with a trunk rs feet and
ten inches in circumference, is older than
it-older, too, by more than a thousand
years-for it had been shown, as con
clusively as these things can be shown,
that it's age is about 6,260 years. To be-
come impressed with wonder over this
one has only to dwell on that duration
for a little while in thought,
yet ii is not SO remarkable when one
stops for a moment to remember that
given favorable conditions for its growth
and ~sustenance, the average tree viii never
die of old age-its death is merely an &C.
cident. Other younger and more vigorous
trees may spring up near It., and perhaps
rob its roots of their proper nourishment,
insects may kill 1t, floods or winds may
sweep it away, or it's roots may come in
contact with rock and become so gnarled
and twisted, because they nave not room
TO expand in their growth, that they lit
orally throttle the avenues of its susten-
ance; but these are accidents. If such
things dc not happen a tree may live on
for century after century, still robust, still
hourishing, sheltering, with It's wide
spread branches, the men and women OF
age after age.

The Best Story of the Lewis and Clark
Execution,

One consequence OF the Lewis and
Clark exposition at Portland has been
n renewed demand for Noah Brooks
book, First Across the Continent: The
story of the Lewis and Clark Expedi-
ton" Noah Brooks, when a young
man, went out TO California with the
first rush OF gold seekers, and Travelled
on foot and by wagon acros the conti-
nent, and ii is that experience which is
the foundation OF his story of The
Boy ~Emigrants," one of the best books
for boys that was eve written. His
first-land knowledge OF what even n
comparatively civilized trip across the
continent meant, made it possible for
him TO give a sense of individual and
personal experience to the story of the
Lewis and Clark expedition at makes
h-5 account Of that great exploration
probably the most interesting and real
istic n that has been written.
