behind which it was known that the bird's
head must be, yet it took always a long
time to see her.
With big game the same thing happeas
constantly. Many man who has hunted
much has crept up TO a ridge, looked Sver
and studied the landscape with care ard
them having satisfied himself that no ganae
was I'm sight, has stepped out into Plsfa
view, seen a deer rise from its bed or slip
out of some little thicket and pat Itself
in a position Of safety without Offering oP-
portunity for a shot. This seeming invisi-
bfifty, even when they are in plain sistt,
makes the photographing Of wild animals
a matter of great difficulty.
We recall as wildly as IL it were yester-
day carefully climbing a ridge in Wyoming
and studying a sage brush basin which lEy
before us. Glasses and good eyes were
used. but absolutely nothing was seen, and
finally we stepped over the HILL went partly
down the open aud then stopped and sat
down to smoke. We had had time to light
the pipes and talk for a while and as WE
sat and smoked, with our faces directly
toward the basin, slowly there grew out ef
Dothing, feeding quietly where he had been
feeding all along, a mountain sheep, which
was the game we were seeking.
To most OF her wild creatures nature has
given a wonderful defense in their adapts-

POOR LABORER GETS A PILE
Jerseyman Inherits Bundle OF
Money from Rich
LnnIa.

The happiest silk weaver that ever wove
silk is Robert Hughes of Garfield, n j.,
vyho received word yesterday that he has
fallen heir TO 100000
Hughes is IS years old and has never
known anything but the hardest kind of
toll He came to America from Ireland
when he was a boy, and as he grew up
he learned the silk weavers trade. Day
after day he toiled. with few pleasures and
no prospect so far as he could see, Of ever
lettering bis condition. Like all men OF
his trade he was peculiarly the slave Of
his business, for when work fell slack he
dared not take employment at rough-and-
ready Jobs; for hard work never fails TO
make ones fingers stiff and rough, and il
is absolutely necessary for silk weavers to
keep their hands soft.
BY virtue OF intelligence and industry
Hughes was promoted to be a foreman.
His pay was IS a week. He managed to
keen his head above water and bought a
little house Day after day he went to
the mill and there toiled all day long,
spinning fineries for the adornment OF the
rich. Seemingly this was to be his fate
until the end of the last chapter.
But yesterday morning he received a for
midable looking letter written in q clerkly
hand on legal paper. The writers, firm
OF sslicitors OF Belfast Ireland begged "a
inform Robert Hughes, ESQ, OF the
town OF Garfield. state OF New Jersey"
that he was one of the three heirs of John
Hughes, Esq. merchant, Of Belfast re-
Gently deceased, leaving a fortune Of $500,
600, equivalent to 100000.
Mr. Hughes directed I'm his will that his
estate be divided equally among the chill
dren of his deceased brothers. two OF whom
are living In ireland, the third being Rob-
ert Hughes Of Garfield.
The silk weaver was daEed. His wife, 8
modest littIs woman. was daEed too. They
had both heard OF bunko letter writers
and they feared there might be some trick
So Robert took the letter 20 City Attorney
A. d. sullivan OF Passaic. who said that
the letter seemed genuine, and he woulG

had induced the policemen to Join him

hang that priest. Lemons party went from
Santa Re to two large Pueblo Indian vii
lagos. about ninety miles west OF Albu-

the chiefs of the Indians for horses and
mules to mount his command, and also for
provisions. They complied with his de-
maud. and few days later they appeared
in Santa Fe with orders 81 Colonel BeaL
who was still there in command: please
pay so-and-so 5000 for supplies and
charge to account Of John Shocks, captain

amounted to about 1880
The next we heard of him a Mexican
came in who had met his party in the
mountains. This Mexican and his partner
had been out trading with the Navajo
Indians when they came across Lemons
party. His partner was mounted upon a
very fine riding mule, which Lemon wanted
to buy. Although urged to name his own
price, he refused to sell, declaring that he
wouldn't sell it-"there wasn't money
Lemon deliberately pulled out his pistol
and blew out the Mexican's brains, and
took the mule, silver mounted bride and
saddle.

day while he was there and cordially sa-
iuted him How are you, DR.. Demon?'

PRoFITLESS JOB OF SAFEGUARDING

"A few weeks ago, on a visit to New
York, happened to visit Jefferson market
court, when a seedy. emaciated palsied
old man was 'vagged' by the magistrate
for begging on the streets said Patrick
Galligan, the house detective at Wash
ington hotel, who used to live in the big
town. II hadn't seen this man for nearly
thirty years, but l thought I recognized
him as l saw him leaning on the rail in
front of tn magistrates desk, and when
he stepped back, after getting his thirty
day dose, l spoke to him and found that
wasn't mistaken as TO his identity The
sight of him took me back to the days
when Boss Tweed was running things in
New York, and here's the story that the
sight of that old man recalled to me.
"One day in the fall of 1874 one OF the
most finished and successful bank burglars
that ever used a drill in this country-I
won't mention his name, for he's still alive
and reformed-was walking across Sixth
avenue. New York. enjoying his parole and
the mellow sunshine. There were a whole
lot 81 indictments hanging over him, of
course, but they didn't worry him any, for
he happened to be on pretty fair terms
with some of the men attached to the
municipal administration at that time. AS
he swung along he was aecosted by
prosperous looking man whom he did not
know. although the prosperous looking citi-
zen addressed the burglar by his right
name. The crook, finding after some STALL
ing that the man who knew his name
wasn't detective, took him into a cafe
and asked him some things.
In the first place, how did you know
me?' he inquired OF the stranger.
Well, it appeared that the burglar had
been pointed out 10 the stranger by a de-
testive who was - shady that he after
ward did time for surreptitiSusly extending
aid and confort to the enemy-ope Of the
old time bands of New York crooks.
An right said the cracksman then.

Facts About American Shipping.

Our statesmen at Washington have
finally succeeded after long years OF
hard work of stripping nearly all Ameri
can ships from the surface of the
ocean. The only remedy the party now
in power ever suggests for the deplora
BILE condition of affairs is to take the
paddock off the doors of the United
States treasury and let the shipbuild
ing combine go into the strong box and
help themselves to all the money they
want under the name of ship subsidies
This might suit the shipbuiIding com
bine and trusts of the United States
but it is rather an expensive way OF
floating the American flag on the high
seas of the world. Other nations
whose ships are seen in all parts OF
the globe, get along without paying
any great subsidies. but they have diff
feTent sorts of tariff laws from what

Protection in the Balance,

A belated speech on the tariff, pur-
porting 10 save been delivered by Con-
gresham McCleary on June %. has
Just been published in a special num-
reason for holding it back until now is
evident. for it could not be published
until President Roosevelt had decided
to stand pat, as the speech took the
position that the president was on the
same ground as the protective tariff
league. which advances the idea that
the tariff law is q sacred contract with
the trusts and combines that it would
be wicked to abrogate. The publica-
ton now of this belated speech gives
an inside history of the fractional fight
in the republican party over tariff Sc
vision. For when this speech purports
To have been delivered, both the tariff
reform faction and the ultra protec
tionists were claiming the president as
on their side of the issue and IT was
not until the now famous stand-pat
agreement between Speaker Cannon
and the president at Oyster Bay was
consummated that it was known which
faction should really claim him. The
McCleary speech was evidently held
in allegiance until the standpatters cap
tured the president.
There is no doubt that the protective
tariff league. with its influential back
ers. the trust monopolists. had been
diligently working" President Roose-
vocating tariff revision would split the
party and leave him only a compare
lively small following. That argument
was too much for Mr.. Roosevelt and
he surrendered TO the stand-pat faction
and the McCleary speech was let loose
on the unfortunate republican voters.

Politics in Pennsylvania.

Pennsylvania is one of the strongest
republican states in the union. Its poll
tics and its politicians are among the
most corrupt in the United States. A
lady who visited the Illinois Iegislatuse
at the last regular session of that body,
in the interest of reform movement,
gave it as her opinion that the legisla-
ture of Pennsylvania was the worst
she had had any experience with and
she had visited most of the states in
the union. Political bOssism has reach
ed a state of perfection in Pennsylva-
mia. that makes it greater than any
political party. or even of the people
themselves The bosses run the whole
thing, and they are absolutely an I'M
scrupulous set of fellows, and they are
all republicans.
