fortunes, but their earning capacity
greatly outlasted their terms Of life.
When Kipling's income in the height
OF his popularity reached the sum Of
$4,000 year, the world was astound-
ed. He was tho first of the prodigious
literary earners, and he made dent
on the pages Of books that will last
as long as the English language. 1t Is
safe to say that Eipling's income is not

ling's splendid novel, the greatest novel
Of the 10th century, The Light That
Failed, was practically a failure as a
play, though it was very shabbily
dramatized. It Is doubtful If altogether

the latter's career as a play alone is
done.

Cougars Multiplying Too Rapidly In
Yellowstone National Park.
Mountain lions have increased SO
rapidly in Yellowstone Park of late
that they threaten the extinction of
deer, elk and other wild animals that
live in this great government game
preserve. So numerous have the coug-
ars become that the government,
through President Roosevelt's recon-
mepdation, has given John and Homer
Golf, celebrated guides and hunters at
Meeker, Col, a contract to clear the
lions out of Yellowstone Park. John
Golf is the guide who won fame TAX
ing President Roosevelt on his success
ful cougar-hunting trip to Colorado.
The work of hunting lions in Yellow
stone Park will, it is estimated, take
several seasons, and in the meantime
there is a demand for lion hunters in
Colorado, Wyoming and other cattle
states. where stockmen are suffering
great losses from these predatory ami
| mails. Cougars are said to be on the
| increase in the Rocky Mountains.
Owing to the enormous number of
mountain lions in Yellowstone Park
the government will not have to pay
a large bounty to the Golf brothers.
| The hunters will receive a bounty of
| IS on each mountain lion they kill, in
addition to a salary Of SIS a month
| each for their work. Most Of the work
will be done between the spring and
fall, for the winters are very severe in
| Yellowstone Park, the climatic condi-
tons being almost arctic, owing to the
moisture generated by many geysers.
The COT brothers have the largest and
finest pack of cougar hounds in the
world.
For some reason the mountain lion
prefers the flesh Of q colt to that of
any other animal, and cougars have be.

only one other man In this country who
could rival AIDE as a literary financial
success. This man refuses to compete.
He Is Finley Peter Dunno, who created

Parker, Mrs. Humphry Ward and
Mark Twain are all large earners In
the world of books, but their combined
annual income does not largely exceed
that of AIDES alone. Robert Louis
Stevenson, who, like Kipling, has not
yet come into his own, did not receive
$4,000 In all his writing days. The
united earnings Of Copernicus, who
discovered the shape of the earth and
the movements of the stars; Harvey.

cidedly interesting epoch to those
whose memory goes back that far.
There were the delightful days of fish
Ing in the leafy months, the dark pools
below the dam, the little sand-bars and
RIFLES, and the log projecting out over
some particularly inviting spot, where
big sunf1sh came up to hooked cricket
or grasshopper without hesitancy or

In the creek. That was why there
were always flowers and green grass
along the shores, and why the boys
could always find place to wade and
wade and wade until their ankles
turned purple In the swirlilg waters.
Then when winter came the scene
changed. There was never better
place to skate than on an old mill
pond, and the skaters did not have
fancy clamp skates which one can put
on and take Oft in two seconds No, they
were the old-style strap skates with
screw an inch long to be bored Into the
heel. The young man fortunate enough
to get hold Of two worn out files or
discarded saw blade was the hero OF
the community. He could make skates
out of them with long, graceful turn
ups In front which were the envy OF all
the beholders. 1t was small hard
ship to sit on snowy log half an hour
boring at a refractory heel, but the
end justified the exertion.

lions, the cause Of which remains I'M

cies Of animals. The giant dinosaurs,
for instance, whose remains, as found
in our Western bad lands" excite 80
much amazement, appear by paleonto-
logical evidence to have sprung sud
denly into being and AZ suddenly to
have disappeared. All the other animal
types also seem to have been well char
acteri1sd when they nrst made thsdr
appearance. The theory Of the origin
Of species BY mutation, when applied
either b the plant or animal kingdsm,
does away with the demand made by
the natural selection theory for insrdi-
Haeely long periods Of time during
which existing races were brought grad
ually to their present condition.

tanned, and a platform adopted
which gave the final blow to the
insurgent cause.
1t was shown that the state
by a majority of nearly two to
one endorsed the course Of the
Stalwarts. Nor was there the
slightest attempt to restrain the
voice Of the minority. The
Stalwarts were notably mag
unanimous. Although the Insur-
gents had made their chief slo-
gan, the looting of Alaska"
during the campaign, they dar-
ed not say word about it when
brought face to face with the
man whom they had so fouly
slandered. Even this display
of cowardice was not used to
embarrass the revolters. They
were shown the utmost courtesy.
After the nominations were
made, series of resolutions
were passed which again placed
the republican party OF the state
squarely before the people. It
is to be noted that the conven-
tion passed a resolution favor
ing the extention of the primary
law to cover the state Offices and
members of Congress, and to
express a preference for United
States senators. This was done
by a convention where the Stall
warts had three hundred and
seven, and the Insurgents had
only one hundred and sixty.
And the man whom the insur-
gents had so reviled was the
advocate of the extension.
It may well be asked what
next? The Davis primary law,
which was restrictive by reason
of the demands of. Insurgents
and Stalwarts alike, was made
an issue by the former. Now a
Stalwarr convention has taken
that away. And the republican
party again presents a solid
front to the common enemy.
The people who were misled are
coming back.

OUR FOREIGN TRADE.

In a few weeks the Commerce
Department of the United States
will compile the figures showing
our trade with foreign countries.
These figures will prove that our
foreign trade for the last year
aggregated at least one billion two
hundred and fifty millions of doll
ars. These figures are beyond the
comprehension Of the average in,
dividual. It is more easily under
stood when we inform our readers
that the trade of the United States
has steadily increased, requiring.
millions to represent the annual
growth. Careful statisticians say
that the time is not far distant
when it will require figures in the
two billions to measure ourf foreign
trade. We are in the lead of all.
the nations at the present time.
and the chances are that ais the
years go past we will increase our
Head. There are two portions of
the globe to which we are now Civ
ing attention which will prove
wonderful fields for. our enterprise.
We refer to South America and
the Orient. These opportunities
are greater than have ever come to
us before. The opening Of the
East to our trade at a time when
her teeming millions are SO favor
ably impressed with our country is
a fact, the importance Of which,
can not be comprehended by any
! living man. The trend Of inter
national events has created the
same favorable condition in South
America. We can if we will
double our foreign trade within
the next ten years. Our Congress
has seen the handwriting on the
| wall. This last session a bill was
passed providing for the improve
ment Of our Consular service.
Any man who has travelled and
who has compared the efficiency
of our service with that Of count
Try like England will readily ap.
preciate the need Of the improve
ment proposed in the legislation
referred to. Our Consular service
improved and the trade Of the
country will grow by leaps and
bounds. At the present time i

The JAMESTOWN CONVEN-
TION.

! After enc Of the most bitter
campaigns ever fought in the
state, the object of which was the.
control Of the state convention,
it is well that the deliberations
OF that body should have due
consideration. The insurgents
had organized a vicious revolt.
Conscious that they had no just
cause of complaint, they deliber-
ateiy planned a fictitious cause
and foisted it upon the
people. Never was there a
more disreputable attempt to
win the ear Of a busy people
than was undertaken by q group
of dlsgruntled Office seekers in
this state. They claimed to be
able to control the convention,
and even the very day of the
convention, made their boast that
the enemy was theirs.
The sta1warts were less vocif-
erous about their strength. They
repealed the assaults of the In
surgents by showing that the
state had been we'll governed
and that the whole revolt was a
deliberate plan to seize the
reins Of government. They ass
ured their friends that the In
surgents would not have more
than one third the convention,
and they rested their cause for
endorsement upon their record.
The twelfth of July came and
q test Of the issues was made.
The insurgents went down ig-
ANONYMOUSLY. The policy of the
state administration was sus-
