vate car back as far as Topeka, and
inquired if he happened to be go
ing that way. 1t was not until then
that Cannonball Green realized that
the railroad company was returning
the courtesy shown an official.
The stage business was short lived.
The railroads put the stage coach
out of business. Cannonball Green
soon found out that it was impossi-
BILE to run coach line for a distance
of less than 100 miles. There were
few places after Oklahoma was open
ed to settlement where there was
not a railroad within that distance,
and for distances less than that the
livery stables took all the business.
1t was, therefore, soon over Green

also spent it. He took claim in

strip was opened, and was afterward
elected treasurer of that county.
Then when the Kiowa and Comanche
country was opened in 1901 he set

place to be found in the territory,
and here he secured farm near

a profitable livelihood for his sons.

JUDGE PILSBURY IS DEAD
OVER THE RIVER WELL-KNOWN
MAN HAS GONE TO REST.

Aged Veteran and Jurist Has Passed
Away Full of Years and Useful
ness. Relatives in Dawson.
Judge j. B. Pilsbury, a brother of
Misses Mary and Agnes Pilsbury of
Dawson, and who was known and es-
teemed by many here, died at his
home in Americas Tuesday night.
The following account of his death
is taken from the Americas Times
Recorder:
Judge John B. Pilsbury passed
away at 7:15 o'clock last night, the
end coming after a period of illness
extending over many months. In
view of his very serious condition
recently the announcement of his
death will cause little surprise among
his friends.
But throughout the city and this
entire section of the state it will be
received with profound sorrow.
For a half century Judge Pills
bury has resided here, and the posi-
ton of prominence which be held in
the social, business and political life
of this section made him known of
all men.
and among all he was ever held
in highest esteem.
after an active business life his
health failed several months since,
and the decline has been gradualsbut
inevitable. For many weeks recent
ly he was closely confined to his
room, and family and friends real
lied fully that the end was near.
And as fell the curtain of even
ing yesterday fell, too, the curtain
upon the stage of his career.
Judge Pilsbury was a native of
Winnsboro, S. c., but while yet a
young man removed to south Geor-
gia. He served gallantly through
the civil war with the First Georgia
regiment, and by no one was the
tattered stars and bars held any
dearer
After the war Judge Pilsbury en-
gagged in the practice of his profess
sion, the law. He was for many
years judge of the inferior court of
Sumter county, and later of the
county court of this county.
For years, too, he wascommander
of Camp Sumter, 642, United Con-
federate Veterans, and to his efforts
is due much of the success of the
camp.
Judge Pilsbury was u years of
age, but, despite his years, walked
as erect as when he marched in the
army of northern Virginia"

THE COST OF NEW YORK.
Millions Are Spent Every Year to
Govern 1t.

New York city's budget next year
will be s116,8O5,490.37, This is
one-ffth of the total expenditures of
the ISL cities of the United States
having a population of over 10000.
Including the bond issues, New York
spends one-third. New York spends
more than the six next largest cities
Chicago, Philadelphia, st. Louis,
Baltimore, Boston and Cleveland.
Although it's population is only twice
Chicagos it's government costs four
times as much. It's debt is more
than a third of the aggregate city
debt, which is larger than the ma
tional debt. The per capita debt of
all these cities is $57, or less than
half New York's.
New York's expenditures exceed
those of any foreign city. The Lon
don council uses only $50,000,000 a
year. Paris expenditures do not
bring the total to the New York fig
ure. The expenditures of the Ger
man empire are less than five times
as great, those of the kingdom of
Prussia six times as great, those of
Spain only a quarter arger.-New

Had it not been for the invasion
of the railroad in the southwest
Cannonball Green would have been
a millionaire today. AS it is he is
a Caddo county, Oklahoma, farmer,
who was recently appointed a school
land appraiser by Gov. Frank
Frantz, but he is also one of the
most interesting as well as one OF
the most unique characters in the
southwest. writes a Bridgeport cor
respondent of the st. Louis Globe
Democrat. He drove the stage lines
on the old overland California routes
when the guards had to keep the In
dams away. AS driver and owner of
several lines of stages, however, he
was an adept and always brought
his business through without any Sc
rious losses from depredations by the
Indians.
In the early days-shortly after
California began to boom-Green
took the prize at the Sacramento fair
as the best stage driver. There were
many entries. The express compa-
MES came up with their fine teams
and coaches, the railroad companies
had entered their teams and drivers,
who ran in connection with the va
rious railway lines, and many an old
timer was there, too, with his over
land coach, but Cannonball Green
carried away the honOrs. He was
dressed as an old stager, had bron-
co team and was covered with the
red mountain dust After all the
drivers had exhibited their best
stunts with their teams Green cut
a figure g with a six horse team
around the judges stand in such a
manner as to make even old timers
hold their breath
Green's biggest coup as stage dri-
yer was during the opening of old
Oklahoma in 1889. The Rock Is
land Railroad then ran only as far
south as Pond Greek, Okla, a sta
ton at that time in the Cherokee
strip. The Rock Island made con-
tract with Green for transporting it's
passengers from the end of the line
over to the edge of old Oklahoma at
Sc each. The day the excursion
started the railway company wired
Green that 600 passengers would be
on the first train. 1t was seen then
that the job was one of magnitude,
but Green secured the country and
employed every farmer who had
wagon or buggy, and with these, to-
gether with his stage line, he car
ried out the contract.
Cannonball Green owned a stage
line all through the west in the early
days. connecting with the Santa Fe,
Colorado and Texas Panhandle
When the boom struck western Kan

The Oregon's Big Pennant.

When the Oregon left Hongkong re-
Gently, after her long period of service
on the Asiatic station, she was flying a
homeward-bound pennant over 500 feet
in length. 1t was necessary to support
this long strea"'er by two small bal
looms tied to the end to keep it out Of
the water. The pennant was made Of
silk thread and attracted much atten-
tion in the Asiatic port.
In the old days it was the custom to
have foot of pennant for every day Of
the cruise. That of the Oregon is prob
ably one of the longest displayed from
the mast of homecoming ship, al
though it is on record that the old
Brooklyn, on one occasion upon her ar
rival in New York, displayed a pennant
700 feet long.

1t opened much like the last Late in

Dogs came up by two and threes, barking
at him in a ring, till last, Snap, the
little white one rushed up. He wasted

Little CannibaIs.

Every once in while we hear of
breeders complaining of the cannibal-
lstic habits among growing fowls. espe-
cially among those still in the days of
their early babyhood. This pernicious
habit, when once the young birds be-
come thoroughly addicted to it, is rath-
er difficult to control and suppress.
Usually it finds its chief expression in
focks confined to close quarters, where
the ground is bare and the feed is
wanting in animal matter. Bird life
under natural conditions finds oppor-
tunity for work and play in the hunt
ing of insects for food and in the care
full selection of such vegetable mat
ter as its system may demand. Young
chicks, when confined, are obviously
deprived of these opportunities for a
healthful exercise; the result is that
they become idle, which engenders
vicious habits and craving for some
thing to do as well as for animal food.
When in this condition if a member
of the little flock shows a wound or
effects of blood, the chances are that
one or two will at once commence to
peck at it, which leads the others on,
and soon the whole flock will be rend-
luS lue llILl6 one luUO SureuS, ueNOur-
ing it before one has opportunity to re-
lieve it's misery or to isolate it from
the flock. The remedy, of course, is
obvious, namely, afford tie young
chicks wider range and be more care
full in your feeding by making it a
point to keep them busy by throwing
the food into litter or suspending
head of lettuce or cabbage where they
can peck at it; also supply in one form
or another animal food. A good way
to do this is to take the underground
chick feeds, which of them
selves are balanced ration, and scat
ter the same in litter of chopped
straw or hay, about one and oue-half
or two inches deep. In fact, anything
that will make litter may be consid
cred available.

THE FIGHTING INSTINCT.
Story of a Desperate Hand to Hand
Encounter Against Heavy Odds.

Now and then among the brutali-
ties and crimes that form the chief
subjects of daily journalism in this
country, there comes an item that
not only appeals to our morbid nature
but gets in close to the primal love
OF hight which springs eternal in the
human animal. Most of us have no
feeling except of loathing in the case
OF the secret ASSASSINATION of six Ital-
Ians in Minneapolis, because their
modes OF fight are Latin in country
OF Anglo-Saxon prejudices. But just
a week before, the press dispatches
from Bristol, Tennessee, told of the
sudden demise of seven Italians who
with others had conspired to murder
their section foreman, because he was
a hard boss" Doubtless he wasI
Nevertheless, the old fighting blood
tingles at the bare account of the bat
tie that the foreman, Haverly, whose
name suggests his nationality, waged
single-handed against the body of la
borerS that rushed him. Had he
been armed with a revolver, he would
have no sympathy, but he depended on
the first weapon at hand-a crowbar.
Backed against an embankment, he
withstood the combined attack of the
entire gang of laborers, all bent on his
murder, and armed, against him, with
picks, axes, and spades, in addition
to their knives. Repugnant as the idea
of killing may be, one can scarcely
help thrill at the thought of the fore
man, Haverly, at bay like knight of
former days, fighting for his life, and
so sturdily and valiantly laying about
him., weapon for weapon, steel against
steel, until he stretched seven of his
assailants dead before him and routed
the rest. Haverly may be brute and
a bully; he may have deserved what
the laborers, rising like desperate
slaves against a tyrant, had in store
for him. Yet, somehow, that is hard to
believe because the innate love for
combat in our nature challenges ad-
miration for man who displays des-
perate courage and physical prowess.

OF the white tie and pearl studs that
must be worn with the tailed coat.
The American speaks of his Tuxedo
suit and his dress suit. The English
man talks of his evening clothes, and
would as soon think of changing his
trousers to match his smoking jacket,
as of changing his studs and tie to
accord with his Tuxedo.
While the vast majority of men buy
their clothes ready" or "semi-ready"
made, most men regard with envy the
one who has time and money to have
his clothes made and fitted. The En-
gllshman of means considers it his
duty to have his clothes made by the
very best tailors and to wear them as
badly as possible. As he can rarely
remain long at time within his own
country, London custom tailors have
stored in their safes measurements of
hundreds of wandering Britons who
usually cable from various parts of
the world when they need new
clothes. These measurements are a
valuable asset and insurance on them
frequently amounts to several thou
sand pounds sterling.
AS matter of fact, the best dressed
man in the world is neither the New
Yorker nor the Londoner, but the man
who gets his frock coat, cutaWay and
evening clothes from the Bond Street
tailorS, who have made these stvles
OF masculine dress for centuries, and
his sack suits and overcoats from
Firth Avenue, where one might say
they were invented.

New Clothes for Easter.

The flowers with which many church
es are ornamented on Easter Day are

think that unless something new is
worn on Easter Day no good fortune

The Dorsetshire poet, Barnes, gives us
this quaint little verse in regard to
this custom:
"Laste Easter I put on my blue froek

That glittered in the 'zun like glass;

A Sudden Change.

Two commercial travellers, one from
London and one from New York, we're
discussing the weather in their respec-

The Englishman said that English
weather had one great fault-its sud-
den changes.
"a person may take a walk one
day." he said, ''attired in a light sum-
mer suit, and still feel quite warm.
Next day he needs an overcoat."
That's nothing" said the American.
MY two friends, Johnson and Jones,
were once having an argument. There
were eight or nine inches of snow on
the ground. The argument got heated,
and Johnson picked up a SNOWFALL and
threw it at Jones from distance of
not more than five yards. During the
transit of that SNOWFALL, sir, believe
me Or not, as you like, the weather
suddenly changed and became hot and
summer-like, and Jones, instead of be-
ing hit with SNOWFALL, was-er-

Best Dressed Man in the World.

1The majority of men believe that
the best and most fashionable in
mems clothes comes from London;
and that the best dressed man in the
world is the American turned out by
a London tailor.
An American who spends a great
part of his time in London, ana Is
rather a stickler for the correct thing,
was recently hailed on Broadway by
a friend with the remark, $50 that's
what they're wearing in London, eh?"
The man addressed shook his head.
Suit made in Washington, overcoat
in New York" he said Thought
you were logged out from Bond
Street, sure" in a disappointed tone.
Then the man who lives much in Lon
don made this radical announcement:
They can't make a sack suit in Eng
land. You ask a Bond Street tailor
for an American business suit with
an American fit, and he turns out a
