Bad Man Is Still Bad.
Portland Oregonian.

From the Portland Oregonian.
Searchers for real western color with
which to illuminate their tales of the FROM
tier have for some time been complaining
that all the snap and ginger of the old life
in the west had departed. To certain
extent this is true. The genuine In
dams have nearly all followed the buff
falo over the divide into the happy hunts
ing grounds of the Great Spirit. The mod
ern cowboy is less careless with his shoot
ing iron and his branding iron than he
was in the old days, but 1t is an error to
believe that all of the picturesque deviltry
which gave color to early days in the west
has been eliminated. The bad man with
the gun out on the fringe of civilization
IL fully as bad as his predecessor OF ear
lier years.

PATIENCE.


Not an hour in the day but that this
virtue Is needed. The petty trials that
confront us from early morn till the wee
small hours Of night can only be con-
quered by patience and forbearance. En-
durance is a species Of courage-it stands
armed against the great obstacles OF
life while patience is the weapon for the
small battles. The enemy comes to us
in many ways save In human form-is
even more hard to endure when the shape
is invisible to the eye-more tnvincible
when we recognize it to be a fault we
possess, one we must conquer ourselves,
hiding its magnitude from the criticism
OF others. Strange how soon we see the
faults and weakness Of our companions,
how slow we discover them in ourselves
how little we guard their errors, how
cautiously we protect our own. We eX-
ercise too much patience with self, and
too little where 1t is most needed. Pa
tieuce is ennobling, and great neces-
sity. 1t is a master in the world, for
he who commands well himself can be a
ruler among others. The man who let's
MS impulses De MS gulue, ihdheS iie-
quent mistakes, consideration for a short
while allows more thought, and this de-
struction of hasty actions corrects much
wrong. Patience smiles at the trifles OF
life, accepts the phases as something re-
curing tact and forgetfulness of self,
peeps over the volume of clouds and
consequences. and deliberately handles
the situation in a cautious and fruitful
way.
Impatlenee is the infant temper; its I'M
trained child, grown to its full signifi-
canoe. This worst enemy, temper, uncon-
trolled, is the ugliest trait of nature, and
from it springs the vices that make
wretched life uncomfortable for others,
and a continual regret to ourselves.

 But in whatever manner this package may be picked up, the thought of what it may contain interests us all; for, because We cannot see within it, there is a chance that it may contain anything; there Is the element of a lottery about it. But alas. IL is a lottery that yields few prizes.

REcLAlMING ARID LAND.
Is Dry Farming Solution of Number
 of Pressing Problems?

From John |. Cowan's Dry Farming

 Century
 Contrary to commonly accepted ideas as the statement may be. it is nevertheless, an amply demonstrated fact that wherev- CT in this great arid empire the annual rainfall averages as high as twelve inches as good crops can be raised without irri- gation as with itThis means that almost every acre of the great plains between the Missouri River and the Rocky Mountains. and most of the inter-mountain parks and plateaus between the Rockies and the Pacific. will produce as abundantly as will the rich prarie lands of Iowa. Mis- souri and Illinois, and much more abund- antly than the richest of the lands in any of the older States along the Atlantic seaboard that there is enough land now utilized. If at all. only for grazing to make possible the trebling or quadrupling of the present farming population of the United States; that outside of compara- lively small areas in western Texas and in portions of Utah.

JOHN BIBB SENTENCED TO
 FIVE YEARS IN BRUNSWICK

Brunswick, Ga. June 22.-(Special) )-The jury in the case of John Bibb. alias John Wayne, of Birmingham, who has been on trial here for robbing the saloon of T. Newman in this city. has brought in a yer dict of guilty Judge Parker of the su- peror court AT once sentenced Bibb to serve five years in the state penitentiary, whither he will be taken in the next few days.
 Several months ago Newman saloon was robbed of $2600. It was ascertained that young Bibb, who was at the time drinking rather heavily, was spending a great deal of money, and city detectives kept an eye on him. After several days he was arrested in disreputable house, and when searched several hundred doi- lars in bills were found on his person. Later the house in which he was arrested was searched. and about 5000 were dis covered between the mattresses on the bed in the room which he had occupied the night before hls arrest. Bibb took his ar rest very cooly and has ever since main- tained a most indifferent air, which he has kept up consistently. When the ver- dict was announced and sentence passed he showed no feeling whatever, and took the whole matter very calmly and without any demonstration. Bibb is said to belong to a good family in Birmingham, being the son. 1t Is alleged of J. M. Bibb, who is a supervisor of bridges and buildings Of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad company None of his relatives. however. have displayed any interest In the case up to this time, and young Bibb seems never to have asked for any aid from his fam

John Bibb, who was convicted in the superior court at Brunswick, Ga. of stealing $2600 and sentenced to five years In the Georgia penitentiary. was well known in Birmingham Bibb was arrested here about three years ago on a charge of robbing the safe at the union ticket office in the passenger station of s6l00 in cash and checks while Capt. Jack w. Johnson was agent.
 Blbb made a confession to Detective Bodeker and others in the office of Chief of the statement and was acquitted in the court when brought to trial.
 The combination of the safe was work ed successfully, and it was shown at the time that a surveyors instrument was used in learning the combination of the safe. The instrument was stolen from the engineering department of the Louis vile and Nashville railroad, in which department Bibb worked at the time A hole was bored through the ceiling of the ticket office at such an angle that the glass could be focused on the combina ton of the safe and it could be studied.
 The burglars lay on their face on the rafters under the roof and stuuled the combination through the glass, watch ing Captain Johnson and his chief clerk open the safe several times.
 It was stated at the time that the stolen money was divided in a room in a building on Twentieth street opposite the union station.
