The impossibillty of pleasing all the people all the time is again illustrated in the case of Presi- dent Roosevelt. Some time ago certain citizens were greatly shocked, and did not hesitate to say so: and they predicted that the nation. was on the brink of
Holbrook argus., 1906-12-01

destruction in social and civil way. Because the President in- vited a colored gentleman, Book CT Washington, to breakfast. Now there is just as big a row raised by another class otcitizens because the President has dis chaged some companies of Negro soldiers, which was just as neces- sary and just under the circum- stances as the social amenities shown to Mir. Washington were commandable, and just in re-. cognition of Mr.. Washlngton's ability, as a man and the great work he has done for his race, and therefore for the nation.
 Of course President Roosevelt is not troubled over these public spasms of solicitude in his behalf; but keeps right on doing the things which he feels should be done, regardless of the uneasiness of mind his course brings the peo- pie to think thier responsibility in the conducting of the Govern ment is particularly in the direc- tion of keeping the President straight. If ht worried over these things he would not have time to do any thing but worry, and would accomplish nothing. And this would please his op- ponents almost as well as to have him make some serious mistake.
 The lesson of this case, might with advantage, be applied by all Tn every capacity or lie. In the performance of every duty and obligation in the best way possible, according to the light given each ait the time the thing is tn be done, lies the road to the approval of the individual con- science. And this approval is of greater importance tban the opinion of others.

Opie Read and His
Experience In Texas

NPIE READ, who recently made a
lecture tour through Texas. tells
this story of an experience he
had down there:
You know" says Mr.. Read, trains
are never expected to be on time in
Texas. When a train is scheduled to
arrive at s o'clock you are generally
safe in calculating that it will not get
there till II or II. Well, had an en-
gagement in certain town one night
and was at another station about
twenty miles away. There was q train
which would land me at the objective
point at o'clock in the evening, if it
happened to be on time, but l thought
1t would be well to make inquiries. In
reply to my question the station agent
said:
L reckon there amt no use expectin'
the train to get here much before 10
o'clock. It's been on time once this
year, but it amt no ways safe de-
pendin' on it,
"Not being in a position to take any
chances I hired man with a buggy to
take me across country. After the lee
ture 1 found a number of travelling
men at the hotel, and they were all
anxious to get away. There was
train scheduled for 7:15 in the morn
ing, but the landlord said he reckoned
it wouldn't be along much before noon,
as it had never arrived on schedule
time or if it had nobody remembered it.
'Still, we all got up bright and early
the next morning, none of us being dis
posed to miss the train if it happened
to be on time, and we were thrown into
a state Of great excitement when at
7:1O there was long toot, heralding
the trains approach. Everybody hur-
ried down to the station and there,
right on the dot of 7:15, the train pulled
in. We were so happy at the prospect
Of getting away and so filled with en-
thuSiaSm over the engineers achieve
ment in bringing the train through on
time that we decided to make up a
purse for him. When everybody had
Clipped i'll a spokesman was appointed,
and he went to the cab to present the
money After he had made felicitous
little speech the cash was offered, but
the engineer pushed it away, saying:
Gentlemen, fully appreciate your
good will and the generous spirit which
has prompted you to make up this
purse, but l cannot accept the money.
My conscience will not permit me to
do it. This is yesterdays train "-Chi-

A Large Order.

Danny B., how in the Soldiers home
at Hampton, Vt, tells this one. He says
that when his company approached the
earthworks in front of Big Bethel it
was met by terrific volley from the
fort. The captain gave the order to lie
down, which every man did except an
old Irishman who did not hear the
order.
He looked around and exclaimed:
''My, my! They're all killed but me!'
Then, as he reloaded his rife, hesaid,

only scraped his hide, close as he was
to me.
Il had in my belt a long bladed
sharp knife, which l used more in the
way of cutting vines and tangled moss
and the like to make a passage through
the denser parts of the covers that
characterize that region as a weapon.
Dropping my gun, which was of no
service to me in those close quarters,
I drew the knife, and, dancing about
to escape the rushes Of the hog, l sank
the knife blade into him at every op-
portunity.
''This was wearying work, for, al

dogs of Catahoula are unique.
'"They are Of no particular breed, but
they serve a valuable purpose to the
Catahoula wild hog killer. When the
native hunter goes out after pork he
constructs a roomy log corral in To-
cality where signs of his game are IN

1.-THE dog is sent into the woods to
rout out the drove of wild hogs. He
knows well what he is to do and never
forgets his training. A Catahoula wild
hog hates a dog above everything else.
when the hog dog scents his game
he instantly begins to bark furiously.
That brings the hogs at once toward
him. When they see him and charge
upon him he turns tail and runs, head
ing straight for the open gate of the
corral, no matter how far it may be
from the starting place.
''In running away he tucks his tail

SHOULD the hogs halt in the chase,

renews his barking, this time as if he

wildcats are common and some
times aggressive. I heard the cry of a
panther in the jungles about Lake Ca
tahoula within the past three weeks.
But of all these fierce creatures none is
so fierce as the great hogs that run
wild through the forests and hide and
Wallow in the almost impenetrable
areas Of canebrakes and the isolated
bayou.
''These hogs are the descendants of
domestic swine that came into that re-
gion with settlers when Louisiana was
yet under Spanish rule and long init
macy with the wilds and the influence
Of their environment have transformed
them into pugnacious and untamable
race Of beasts. They run in droves,
and, with the exception of an occasion

find abundant food.

by no means a pleasant looking appa-

hunter from bayou wallow at the

me, at least once in my life, at any
rate.
II was bear hunting in the thicket
along the west border Of Lake Gaia
houla, and the dogs had brought a big
fellow to bay twice, with the result
that of the six dogs had started out
with I had but one left, and the bear
was still at large. 1 kept on his trail,
however, not yet having had shot at
him, and was in the depths of the thick

brought me up all standing, rose from
some hidden resting place Of his not
ten feet away and confronted me with
bristles erect and his long tusks gIis-
tening on each side Of his snout.
my lone dog was not hog dog, and
with recollection perhaps of Juggling the
ear of some lazy, tame old SOW at
home he sprang upon the boar before
could give him a restraining word. The
mad hog received him with one vicious
lunge of his big head
'The next instant the dog was crash
ing through the brush, ripped open from
his flank to his throat by the boars
tusk. He gave a yelp, a gasp and a
kick and joined his five companions
that had fallen before the bear.
1.-THE boar had not raised his head
from this thrust at the dog when fired
at him. He fell, but was up again in a
second and charged me on three legs,
my bullet having had no other effect
than to break one of his fore legs.
HE came with such speed that
could not fire again before he was upon
me. 1 evaded the full force of his
charge by quick jump to one side.
One of the 'enraged brute's long tusks
was thrust through my trousers leg
between the ankle and the knee, and
with a quick upward jerk of his head
the boar tore the cloth open nearly to
my waist. / could feel the cold rush
OF the tusk all the way up my leg, but

B. B. PARKS VIEW.

In the last issue of the Stevens Point
Gazette is published an article from the
pen of b. B. Park in relation to the
forced resignation of President Pray, of
the normal school located in that city.
In his letter, Mr.. Park severely criti-
cises MIR. Mcfarland, a member of the
board of regents of the school, who it
is said preferred the charges against
Mr.. Pray. He says:
81 feel that it is a Just criticism of
Mr. McFarlaEd's conduct to say that
his first and foremost duty, as soon as
he thought he discovered anything
wrong at the school, was to go to the
executive head of the school and fully
and frankly make his charges, and
patiently listen TO the presidents ex-
plantations and defenses, if any he had.
This duty | maintain Mr.. Mcfarland
owed to the school, owed to us, and
owed to President Pray. Yet from
July, 1905, when he assumed the duties
of his Office, to February, 1906, when
the board acted adversely to President
Pray, Mr.. Mcfarland kept his own
counsel, and not one word of the i'm
pending action was breathed to Presi-
dent Pray, nor to anyone else in Stew
ems Point, so far as known, who had
the good of the school at heart"

TRUST BUSTED"

The United States supreme court has
handed down two decisions in the
action brought against the General
Paper Co., known as the paper trust,
which gives that organization body
blow that will result in its dissolution
By this decision no corporation can
claim immunity under the fifth amend
ment to the constitution. Further,
when an officer of a corporation is
forced to testify against his company,
under governmental investigation, he
secures immunity for himself alone and
not for such corporation The General
Paper Co. formerly represented about
thirty paper mills in Michigan, Wiscon-
sin and Minnesota, but when the in
vestigation into its affairs was started
a number of companies got 'cold feet"
and withdrew, the number of mills
still retaining membership numbering
twenty, among them being the Wausau
Paper Mills Co. 1t is now said that the
mills will conduct their affairs inde-
pendently and employ salesman on the
road, instead of selling all their pro-
duct through such organizations as the
General Paper Co.

SMOOTH GAM {.

There is an old saying that fool is
born every minute and it appears to be
true, too. Our readers will remember
that few weeks ago two we'll dressed
strangers appeared in this city and
stopping at certain place on the west
side, showed the people of the house
some newspapers giving accounts of a
diamond robbery, and softly confided
to those people that they were the
thieves and had the diamonds with
them. They displayed a number of
"sparks" and offered to sell them at
''half their value" The police were
notified and the two were arrested and
held over Sunday. On the following
Monday morning they were discharged
as there was no evidence to show they
were law breakers. They have been
heard from again. They turned up
last week IN Marinette and successfully
worked their game on two citizens of
that town. One of the latter bought a
piece of polished glass for $3.50 and the
other, one for Sl20 The strangers
carry with them two genuine diamonds
which they allow prospective pur-
chaser to take to jeweler for examin-
alton. When he returns, they slip the
cut" on him and palm off pieces of
glass, and the sucker dare not squeal
for he is himself violating the law in
knowingly purchasing stolen goods. If
these fellows make but one sale a
month they are making good wages.
