smile came to his wrinkled face.
He could scarcely see the moving
TIL ong or hear the popping around him,
but he had been boy once and he knew
how things were going. He knew that
flags were flying all around him, and
that here and there drums were beating
and some old veteran had brought out
his fife and was showing the younger
generation how marching was done In
his day.
Then the old mans thoughts went back
q hundred years and more-to the stamp
act-to throwing the tea overboard-to
the scores Of acts that drove the Ameri-
can colonies into rebellion. His father
was at Bunker Hill, and Saratoga and
Yorktown, and as a boy he had listened
to many stories of war. He had heard
how the Patriots starved and suffered
at Valley Forge-he had heaid and read
Of the treason at West Polnt-he had
been told OF Cowpens. Kings Mountain
and Lundy's Lane.
1t seemed to that old man as he sat
there that Ne could hear the ringing Of
the Bell Of Liberty after the names had
been signed to the Declaration Of Inde-
pendence.. There was the popping of the
farmers rides at Lexington-there was
the roar Of the musketry at Bunker Hill.
His face lighted up. his dim eyes opened
and those who watched him whispered to
each other:
mo man Is ever too old to love Lib
erty."
Then the old man remembered his own
battles In Mexico and IN the sunny South
how he marched with Scott and Tay-
lor-how he fought under the banners of
Grant and Sherman, and all at once he
lifted up a palsied arm. and from his
wrinkled throat there came the cheer:
"Hurrah! Hurrah for -"
That was ALL He fell back, and when
they went over to him they found him
dead. 1t was his last Fourth of July.

Farmer Abner Benson Astonished

the grange. The grange meetings
were held in the cIur>E as well as the
religious meetir-s, ind this fact was
the cause of ,-e following contre-
temps:
Abner was a rs faced, portly mar
of rather ponlrops appearance. The

have described aim very well. One
afternoon as he Was riding past the
church he noticed that a meeting was
being held there, and, not knowing
that any church meeting had been
called, he at once took it for granted
that it must be 2 grange meeting.
He hitched his Horse, went into the
entry and knocked on the door, after
the fashion of the grangers; and, as it
happened, the doorEeeper of the
grange was there. and on hearing a
knocking. got up and opened the door,

BROKE BOTTLES
OVER LITTLE BET
BROTHER OF LARAMIE MAN GOES
UP AGAINST INSIDE Of EARS
OF PUP AND LOSES.
His Female Dog Had Litter With One
All-White Pup, Which Ogden Ho-
tel Man Was Willing to Wager On
Loses and Squares Like the Irish
Sporting Man He is.

Ogden, July 31.-Denny Smyth, pro-
prietor of the new European hotel at
242 Twenty-ffth street, and the broth
er of Tom Smyth, the Laramie painter,
recently lost a bet, the payment of
which cost him a number of bottles of
wine.
Denny, as is well known, is an ar.
dent sport. After the style of Irish
gentlemen his tastes run to horses ant
dogs. His pet weakness is the hounds
Of which he has what he regards q
choice pack.
He Didn't XIII EN-.
Recently his pet, Lady, produced a
litter of nine puppies. They were mark.
ed in pairs, solid black, black and
white, tan and white, and solid tan.
"Drat them, they're Orangemen," said
Denny, land I'll kill EN-" but he
didn't.
The freak of the litter, however, was
what appeared to be a pure white
hound pup without a spot of any 9th.
er color. Denny told A. NJ. Wander
Weiss of this freak and offered to bet
that it was all white and one of the
curiosities in grey-hounds. Mr.. Van
der Weiss was skeptical and closed a
bet in which he would pay if he could
not find a spot Of another color on the
white pup-he had not see the dog.
Black Inside the Ear.
Down the cellar they went and Van.
der Weiss, seeing the white hound,
picked it up, looked it over, and con
cluded it was all white. AS he put il
down he curled up its left ear and, sure
enough, the entire inside vas black.
Denny set up the wine, and it was
more than a bottle.

The report will show that in cities
like Philadelphia and New York Uncle
Sam pays poorly to the lower position.
The report will also say that in many
instances the government has lost the
services of valuable clerks because
there was no incentive for the clerk
of large ability to remain in the ma
tional service where political influence
is necessary to ecu advancement to
positions that require confirmation by
the senate.
An adjustment of salaries can, it is
believed, be effected without increas-
ing the appropriation for the clerical
force, as the cut in the lower grades
will offset the increase in the higher.

Where Ability Is Needed Pay
Less Than Occupants Can Earn in
Other Lines-keep Commission
Will Recommend Adjustment of the
Government Salary List.

There is not always enough cash
with a government job to help out the
returns in glory, as was illustrated by
a young man formerly of this city a
few days ago He had a good position
as Cheyenne, but the money ran out
and he was asked to take a vacation.
At the end of the vacation he was ask
ed to take another, but he declined this,
resigning instead, and is now engaged
in business on his own account. The
following from a late Washington dis
patch is apropos at this time:
Tenor of Keep Report.
Greater salaries for the higher gov
eminent positions, where executive
ability is required, and lower ones for
the lower positions, which are consid-
cred to be too highly paid, together
with a regular system of promotion,
will be the report of the Keep commits
sion to the president.
Uncle Sam is a hard taskmaster, and
pays poor salaries for the higher posi-
tons, where, though great ability is re
quired, the compensation is nothing
like as large as that paid by business
firms.
Brought Out After investigation.
On the other hand, salaries attached
to the lower positions, where ordinary
ability is required, are much larger
than those paid in the commercial
world for similar posts. This will be
the verdict of the Keep commission,
appointed by President Roosevelt to
make an investigation for the purpose
of placing the government depart
ments on a modern business basis, and
to provide for the readjustment of sal
aries.
The facts mentioned have been
brought out in the report of the Keep
subcommittee on the adjustment of
salaries.

Boise, oct. 31--A special tonight to

says:
w. r. Borah. one of the leading
lawyers of the state and the republi-
candidate for United States senator,
who is here tonight enroute to WASH
ington county from a campaigning
trip in Lemhi issued the following
statement regarding the threat of the
democratic state committee to chal-
lenge the voters In the southeastern
counties:
The scheme has for it's purpose
primarily that of retarding voters.
and the intimidation of some so that
they will remain away from the polls
The voters should understand that all
parties regardless of political afillia-
tions who are entitled to vote, will
be protected from all intin.idations or
insults. The state Of idaho will guar
antee the right of franchise to every
citizen entitled to exercise 1t. The
fraudulent bulldozinG OF Tammany
will not bear transplanting to idaho
soil. 1t will not thrive here. even for
day.
Every voting precinct will have
law officers present who will see that
the election laws are enforced and all
who are entitled to vote will be al
lowed to do so without disturbance.
I am in favor OF enforcing the law
strictly but am also in favor Of deal
ing in no uncertain way with those
who undertake to violate the law by
intimidation The statute preSCribo0
for voters to possess. The time will
never come in Idah. VIXEN any citi-
zen having the qualification OF vot-
er will be deprived against his or her
will of the right to vote"
