name, Senior Caceres. He Is known
throughout the land which he rules
in his careless way as Mon" the
name which his mother and sis
tiers and cousins knew him by when
a child. No other name or title has
ever taken its place, and I doubt
if it would occur TO the most abb
ject prisoner pleading for his own
life TO call him anything but
Mon" As for the prisoner, he is
not abiect. The term Is misIead-
ing, for I do not believe the most
humbled Dominican ever becomes
servile. Even when he begs he
holds his head up and asks for
what he wants with an air OF you
owing il TO him. When President
Morales ordered his two prisoners,
General Mansuetta and Commander
GilIheaux, shot the next morning
at sunrise, Gllheaux called out TO
him as he was passing his prison
door, Say, Morales, you ought to
let us off in celebration Of your in
auguration tomorrow" There was
not the slightest tremOr IN his
voice, and Morales replied with
equal GOODNESS, 81 can't; I have al
ready signed your death warrants"
And I saw these two prisoners
marched out at sunrise 10 the
cemetery gate. They walked with
q firm step, and reaching the gate
they wheeled about, facing the
firing squad, saluted, and the next
moment their souls were sailing
into eternity.
Ramon Caceres with his follow
ers put Morales in the Presidential
chair because he did not want the
fob himself. Morales was ambi-
tious. he wanted to rule, but be
found Caceres with his ubiquitous
laugh ever at his elbow. BE would
have killed him II he dared, but he
did not dare. Then the story went
out that he intended TO poison him,
and when IL reached Caceres he
only laughed, bat he watched Nor
ales all the closer. Then Morales
wanted to resign. but Csceres, with
another laugh, reminded him that
the Presidential Job was Of his own
seeking and no must hold IL down
until his term OF Office expired.
''But have no power" mused
Morales, 81 am virtually a prisoner
IN my own capital" and so he ne
gotiated with the revolutionists on
the outside and precipitated a revo-
luton against HIS own government.

Glhr1sGmnas Of I
BULLS and Bears
By JAMES ARTHUR

N HE Christmas spirit is about the
only thing traded in on Dec. "a
~ on Wall street, and the brokers
have celebration each year
that literally Jars things loose The fea-
lures Of this ceremony vary, but the
horseplay does not. The brokers let
off the tension and have a good time
generally The festivities begin at
noon and sometimes last for several
hours. The galleries fill early, mostly
with wives and sweethearts of the
members on the floor. The Stock Ex-
change is literally draped with green
and red. The Seventh Regiment band
is on hand and as the chairman sounds
the gong begins playing "The Star
Spangled Banner" or some other patri-
otic airs Sometimes an elaborate pro-
gramme is arranged. made up of min
strel nets, coon songs. comic talks and
similar performances. But, whatever
the especial form of the entertainment,
the bulls and bears conduct themselves
In much the same way. They make
Rome howl. Hats are smashed; bags
of confetti are thrown at the ladies in
the gallery. who in turn empty the
contents over the heads and shoulders
of the shouting brokers below.
If there happen to be new members
they are initiated" and are carried
about the room in yelling procession
to the music of the band. On one such
occasion an amateur football game
was played in the great chamber of
the Stock Exchange Afterward the
members ndulged in a cakewalk for
an immense forty pound cake, which
was temptingly displayed on the chair
mans balcony. One staid old fnancier
played the piano. another strummed on
guitar, while the younger brokers cut
pigeon wings about the floor. In older
years Christmas tree graced the
Stock Exchange celebrations, all sorts
Of comic presents were handed out
8 and the carnival ended up by every
body telling jokes on everybody else
OF recent years this formal observance
Of the day has been abandoned Now
the ceremony Is simply small edition
of pandemonium, a sort of frenzied
Christmas, as it were.
The celebration of last year will give
an idea of these Christmas eve frolics
In Wall street. At five minutes be-
fore noon the whole floor seemed. in
tent on business, pushing up u. p. and
other stocks and hurting puts and calls
back and forth like game of battle
door and shuttlecock. Promptly at II
the great gong sounded and I'm the
twinkling Of an eye the scene was
transformed. II somewhere APP

itors crowded iniv the open space out
side. Pads of paper and everything
else that was loose were gathered up
and hurled through the air. hats were
used as missiles. great showers of col
ored paper were thrown here and there,
and the din was greater than it is even
in panic. Dozens of young men form
ed circles about older men in the game
of 'bull in the ring"
At this moment appeared great
push ball. six feet in diameter, which
was sent spinning across the floor,
only to be hurled back again, bowling
over men in its flight. To and fro went

the great rubber sphere, while the
shouting reached pitch to drown out
the band. Finally one broker was
hoisted on to the ball, which promptly
was kicked out from under him. But
though his legs were in the air, he was
kept from falling and again regained
his feet. Then the ball was rolled to-
ward the high platform Of the chair
man. when another effort was made to
whirl it out from under the brokers'
feet. Leaping, he caught an edge Of
the platform. scrambled over the rail-
ing and grayely shook hands with the
venerable and dignified presiding Of
ficer. The hilarious ceremony was
wound up by collection being taken
for the messenger boys and attendants,
which mounted up to thousands of dol
lars.

conductor, who vainly sought through
the train for a physician.
Seeing that the case was apparently
a desperate one, he dropped off at the
next station and telegraphed for the
company's physician to meet the train
on its arrival at Pocatello. The en-
gineer was informed of the serious
ness of the case and ordered to make
record time. Such remedies as were
at hand were applied to the wound,
but the swelling kept increasing, and
Miss Beebe was almost unable to
bear the pain.
The negineer made the run Of sixty
miles to Pocatello in less than an
hour and the company's physician was
on hand. He announced that the
girls hand would have to come of
in order to save her life, but, after
working over it for an hour, during
which time the train was held, he sue

BUTTE, Mont, Sept. "a scratch
on the finger Of Laura Beebe, a pretty
typewriter in a local hotel, caused gen.
uine trouble for the Oregon Short Line
and might have had fatal results had
not record breaking run been made
by the train to reach a doctor.
Miss Beebe left Butte to visit her
sisters in Weiser, Idaho. The day be-
fore she left, while hurriedly getting
out some work on her typewriter, she
scratched one of her fingers upon a
broken key. The scratch was trivial,
although it was deep enough to draw
blood. While the finger was still
bleeding she adjusted the fibbon on
the machine, and it is supposed some
of the ink entered the wound. The
wound gave her no pain, and she
thought but little about it in the ex-
element of leave taking on the follow
ing morning.
Before the train had reached Poca-
tello, however, Miss Beebe noticed that
her arm was swelling rapidly, and

The old plan of opening Indian reser-
vations was to line all the homeseekers
at the edge Of the coveted ground and
to let them race for the prizes. The
results Of these rushes have been some
thing terrible to contemplate. There
are suits still pending as the result Of
disputes growing out Of the first Okla
homa opening, in 1893. Men who had
killed fast horses in getting to yalu-
able claims found their rights disputed
by "sooners," who had crept on the res
ervation, despite all the efforts of sol
diers to keep them off. Gun plays were
made and the struggle for lands was
nothing short Of bestial, bringing out
all that was worst in the natures of the
men engaged. The weak had no chance
against the strong, and the many evils
of the system were so apparent that
the government officials made I'D their
minds never to have another rush for
public lands.

Of the stakes, having some one at that
stake who will by means Of small
piece of paper locate the point at which
your line of vision cuts tin other
words, where a line projected from
your sighting board would strike the
stake Make some sort Of a mark at
this point, and then sight to the other
stake in the same way, and mark the
point where the line would strike It,
By measuring distances that these
two points are above the ground you
can get the difference in levels with
reasonable accuracy. For instance, if
your line Of vision has cut one stake
eight feet from the ground, and the
other one five feet from the ground,
then obviously the difference in level
Is three feet, or, in other words, the
vicinity of the stake on which the
mark is five feet from the ground is
three feet higher than the other stake,
