San Francisco, Cal, Nov. 1.-THE
Chronicle says today: "A new in
v~estigation is progressing in the
course of developments in the local
graft scandal. 1t now appears that
many sums of money, large and small,
that were sent from different states
to San Francisco for the relief of the
sufferers from the calamity, never
reached the relief committee.

Some of these amounts, which ag-
gregated a large sum, were mailed
to the care of Mayor Schmitz. F. ].
Hency, Detective William Burns and
about 100 government agents have

President Backing Inquiry
President Roosevelt is the moving
spirit behind the inquiry, and he de-
clares that no man guilty of diverting
the relief funds shall escape justice.
The cases come within the jurisdic-
ton of the federal authorities, because
of the interstate character of the pos

criminally tempered with.
Large Sum Missing.

particularly true in the case of the
Nineteenth artillery and the Eleventh
Infantry, and numerous personal en-
counters are said to have occurred
in the past between individuals of the
two commands.
Would Not Tackle Regiment.
When the Eleventh's first two bat
talions were dispatched to Cuba, it is
claimed that the artillerymen asserted
that their opportunity to get even
with the infantrymen was not far dis
tant. While the entire Eleventh was
stationed at Fort D. A. Russell the in
fantry so outnumbered the artillery
as to make it impossible for the gun
ners to make a successful fight.
Had Been Drinking.
Yesterday was pay day at Fort Rus
sell, and, as is the rule on such an
occasion, a considerable number of
soldiers came to Cheyenne last night
to celebrate. Among them were those
who participated in the fight. All, or
nearly all. of them had been drinking
for several hours inc they were on
the lookout for trouble.
Some Lively Fist Fights.
Following the main fight several en-
counters between artillerymen and
infantrymen took place in the city,
but all were conducted on the Anglo
Saxon plan, and there was no more
use of knives. For a time after the
big fight, the meeting of an infantry
man and an a~rtilleryman was almost
always the signal for a quarrel.

Pittsburg, Pa, Nov. 14.-Joe Cans,

who is doing a theatrical turn at a
local playhouse this week, startled
sporting circles with the statement
that the fight pictures of the Cans
Nelson battle 1t Goldfield are badly
doctored and do not give anything
like a true picture Of the fight. Cans
gave out the statement when he vas
shown a recent interview with Billy
Nolan, manager for Nelson, saying that
Cans was afraid to fight the Dane
again and that the pictures told why.

Choosing a Profession.

talent a may have, the first re-
quisite to his success in life is the
choice of a calling. There IL no way
of asoertaining how many men out Of
1000 miss their calling, but appar-
emily the world is almost full of
square men in round holes and a
large proportion of the manhood Of
the race Ia misdirected and prac-
tically thrown away.
The reason of this is that there Is
nothing more difficult for a young
man or for his parents aud friends to
do than to tell what he Is made for
and what he should devote his life
to. Take the young nan himself
fret, and he has two obstacles to deal
with. In the first place, his best
talent may be slowest of all his
powers to develop. Some parts of
his body grow faster than other parts
aud it Is so with his mental faculties.
Most frequently his master passion
will show itself from infancy, but In
many cases he reaches manhood be-
fore he develops the gifts or traits
which mark out his life work.
In the second place, self knowledge
Is the last faculty that any human be
ing develops. During childhood and
early manhood, when he needs self.
knowledge to determine what occupa-
tion to follow, he knows absolutely
nothing about himself. Indeed, a
man Is fortunate II by the time he Is
gray headed he understands his strong
and his weak points aud knows what
he can do and what he can not do.
OF course, these two considerations
make it difficult for a young mans par
ents to advise and direct him. They
have seen his tastes and ~inclinations
change several times already and they
do not know but that they may change
several times more. Sometimes "A
youths instincts will lead him Alright
and mislead thnse who have the SON
troll OF him. 1t Is related of a famous
painter that his choice led him in
boyhood to obtain employment in AN
artists studio and that the artist,
after watching him a while, advised
him to limit his ambition to grinding
colors.
This accounts for the large number
Of e%minently successful men who
start wrong and change from one
calling to another before they achieve
success This is Of course, not uni
versal. Grant and Lee we're soldiers,
Fulton an inventor and Hawthorne
al author from childhood. Necessity
denied them the privilege of follow,
ing their bent at times. but they
never for a moment doubted what
they had a passion for.
Possibly this is the case with most
men who achieve success and fame,
but not with sIl. Everett aud Elmer
son believed until they reached ma.
ture manhood that they we're cut out
for ministers, Collyer that he was a
born blacksmith, Garfield that he
would make his mark as a carpenter,
Jackson that saddlery was his forte,
Johnson that he was a predistined
tailor, Irving that he would shine at
the bar and Washington that his
mission was that of a surveyor. Some
great men have gone from one calling
to another several times and acquired
a reputation for instability and gen
eral worthlessness before they qstruck
the gait that made them famous.
This makes il an exceedingly per
picking problem for a young man to
determine what he will do and the

perplexity Is tenfold greater now
than it was fifty years ago. There
we're hundreds OF years before that
time during which the leading trades
and professions we're stable and al
most stationary, but within one or
two generations, owing to the ravages
OF inventions and labor saving ma
obinery, they have all either disap-
peared or been transformed. There
il scarcely a business that a young
man can take up today which may
not become obsolete in a few years.
In fact, the only thing that Is per-
manent lie knowledge. The time will
never come when II will not help a
man in the race of life tn be scquaint-
ed with mathematics, physics, his.
tory, geography, physiology, chemis-
try and manual training. Unless he
knows something of these sciences he
may be unable to discover what he is
made for or to do IL after he dis
cover It. Beyond this such Is the
present condition of the arts, man
ufactures, science and politics-a
young man is literally copelled to be
an opportuniet. That is, he must do
what he can until he can do something
different and better. IL he is in

. rancher with only u pony and a
lasso, rode his quivering mount onto
a mountain lion. lassoed him, and

Mr.. Pulsipher already had a local
reputation for his skill and dexterity
in handling the moose. He has long
ridden a range ~aboundKIg with cattle
almost as wild and dangerous as the
lion he recently killed. Once, at
least, he has carried off the prize
offered by the Washington County
Fair association for the best exhibit
ton of roping, so that to people who
know him veil no very profound sur
prise will be felt at his recent daring
feat. Our only criticism Is that Mr..
Pulsipher should have sent the story
to his local paper instead of to "A Salt

~"scooped" in this way.

What Hens Need in Winter,


There are a number of things which
hens can use to good advantage dur
ing the winter which, should be gotten
together at this time and stored away
for future use. Sand, clean and dry,
is very necessary during the winter
and liberal supply of it should be
gathered, spread out in thin layers to
thoroughly dry and then stored away
in some dry place to use as required.
It is a good plan to have a supply OF
gravel of garden soil and of fine coal
ashes. stored away for future use as
we'll as the sand. Then look out for a
proper supply of grit in the form OF
broken crockery: flower pots and
small sharp stones: then a supply OF
lime and there is nothing better than
to lay in a supply of old plaster il
you can. All these things are nee
essary to the comfort of the fowls in
addition to plenty of green food and a
supply of cut clover to take the place
of the veritable tops late in the sea-
son. All of this can be done now
when the supply is available, but
which would not be the case when the
frost is on the ground.

in connection with a steam pump.
While the acid pump is actutaed by a
battery of storage cells the steam
pump, which is on an automobile, is
conducted to the locality of fire by
means of carbonic acid compressed in
tanks. The charcoal briquettes are
placed on the CRATE and watered with
alcohol from a receptacle, where it is
kept under pressure by carbonic acid.
The water in the boiler is always kept
at the temperature of PIP degrees F. by
