WooEs AND WEDs IN A DAY.
Colorado Man Makes Woman Wifi
Short Time After Meeting Her.

DenYer-To meet woman for the
first time, to WOO, win, and wed her.
all within "A hours, would be a feat
for the most attractive AdOnis, yet
that is what William E. Buel, a well
known ranchman from Yuma, Colo,
successfully accomplished on crutches.
Buel started for Denver a few days
ago, driving in from his ranch to the
station. BueIs horse ran away and he
was thrown out and injured, but he
secured crutches and continued his
journey to Denver.
In the afternoon he callSG on Mrs.
Cora Brewer, an old friend, rad there
met Mrs. Anna Stumke A rapid fire
cOurtship ensued, and the following
morning the couple were married by
Magistrate Thomas Carbon.
But there may be breakers ahead for
the two, who started on a honeymoon
trip about the state, if Frederick d.
Stumke makes objection to the we'd
ding. In securing the marriage license
Mrs. Stumke admitted that she had
been divorced, but she gave the date
as January, 1905.
But il was not in January, 1905, but
on April Il, 1906, that Mrs. Stumke
was granted a divorce from Frederick
Stumke and was allowed $400 perma-
nent allmOny. The decree, in accord
ance with the Colorado divorce laws,
provided that neither party should
marry within year.
The law is binding only as to Col
oradO, and does not operate to hinder
persons from going into another state
and marrying as soon as they wish.
but it provides a penalty for remar-
riage within the state If the other
party to the divorce cares to prosecute
the charges.
As Buel hobbled out on his crUtches
with his bride on his arm, however, he
gave no sign of fear that his w.fe's
former husband might interrupt the
honeymoon.

years been employed on one OF the
rural routes and as his time is NOT
wholly taken up at his labor he spends
a large part of each day at work on
a farm which he owns and operates
Having a few spare minutes left each
day, the thought occurred to him tn
build a residence for himself. He
gave the matter some thought and
finally drew the plans. which were
submitted to the local authorities and
duly approved by them.
He commenced the work of founda.
ton laying and for ten years he gave
the project what time he had after
attending TO his other duties and at
the end of this period the house was
complete in every particular. The in.
terror woodwork was all in place and
the walls and ceilings properly decor.

HIS HAIR UNCUT % YEARS.
Eccentric German Lived Alone and
Cleared Ranch Without Horses.

Hunters, Wash.-Hans Kohlen, an
eccentric character in Stevens county,
has sold his fine ranch, four miles
west of Fruitland, and will re-enter
civilization after being almost a re-
cluse for 20 years. All this time he
has been a bachelor, and almost her.
NIT. He cleared his farm, built a
house and fenced the land absolutely
without assistance.
Kohlen never owned a team, car
rying logs and rails on his back for
long distances, while at work on his
place. During % years Kohlen never
cut or combed his hair. For many
years Kohlen's bed has been a big
dry goods box, half flied with hay.
Daily at sundOwn he drew on a gunny-
sack, buried himself in the hay and
slept comfortably.
S. Davis purchased the ranch for
$500. With the proceeds Of the sale
Kohlen proposes to return to his na-
tive home in Germany.

FISTICUFFS.

Once more the intelligent portion of the population is diScuStcd to learn that two members of congress have descended to the level of toughs and dragged the council of the nation with them
 Had the two men travelled out into the backwoods where they belonged and pummcled each other to death the country might not have suffered much, but when they stand in view of the whole population of the civilized world and initiate bull dogs they lower the dignity of their native land and her position in the minds of other peoples.
 No easier method could be pointed out for proving ones want of sophis- difference between dog and a man who settles disputes by force Is that one uses his teeth and the other uses his hands when his feet or his teeth are considered less punitive.

SCHOOL FOR FICTION.

A school. not for scandal, but for fiction, is proposed by Walter II. Page. editor of the Worlds Work, who sug- gests that college students be required to write 1000 words a day for four years by which time they will have ground out a dozen or fifteen volumes. and will then be in position to know whether they are to put Thomas Hardy, George Meredith and Leo Tolstoi completely out of business and make Victor Hugo, Guy de Maupassant and Charles Dick ems simply two-spots in memory's dis card.
 The suggestion is taken quite seri- ously in some quarters, and those col lege students who have been writing home for more money and giving cx- cuses for the evaporation of the last allowance believe they will shine in straight fiction without any additional practice Others, who have been taking special courses in astronomy while wandering along lovers lanes by wind ing rivers as the moonlight inspires them to declare the girl who happens

RATION.

Richmond Pearson Hobson has in troduced a bill which, if passed will

 but if the dove of peace could be pre- vailed upon to take up it's permanent residence on the earth by acts of con-
 gress or parliament it would have nev-
 CT been frightened away.
 Such attempts to bring peace are
 delightful. but how impractical. Just imagine telling the people of California that their troubles were
 over because a man from Washington another from London, and another from
 Paris were about to decide whether or not the Japanese would be admitted by millions into the states of the Pacific coast.
 When one has remembered that fact dwelling upon others would h" super fluOus.
 War must continue. Were all the
 world to agree tomorrow to stop fight ing peace could oply be temporary Hu- man nature never changed since the days of Troy and never will change before the days of Gabriel. Peace and socialism are just lovely to get poetic
 about, but beyond the region of poet ic dreams they can never travel.

to be with them is the only one they have ever loved, know they are past masters of fiction without taking any regular schoolroom work.
 After all, the chair in fiction will not be such an innovation. Nor should it be difficult to secure q competent corps of instructors. Historical mis- facts could be taught very readily by Winston Churchill. while the depart ment of gushing could not be in bet ter hands than those of Robert w. Chambers Ella Wheeler Wilcox might be called in to give weekly instruction, in writing sentimental poetry without meaning and William Dean Towels could have charge of the post graduate instruction in how to write 100000 and keep the reader plugging along in the hope that something must develop soon.
 The suggestion seems worth while trying. Here are the students already pretty well grounded in romancing and here are plenty of instructors who ought to be willing to do the work for a few thousand dollars a day. Of course, the college will have to be located in Indiana, which may make some other states jealous, but it will be impossi- ble to please everybody.-Spokesman- Review

 pctarators of the crime until one of the
 deckhands, a man named Wright, was missed
 on the return trip he was found
 some miles below the place where the | robbery was supposed to have been
 committed He was arrested and his mabn mate was held as witness against him. The dcckhand claimed to have fallen overboard Shortly after | his arrival he confessed having stolen
 the gold and implicated his cabin mate. a man named Quinn.
 "The story that he told of the crime
 was that he attached the gold to life preserver and threw it ovcrboard. shortly afterward dropping overheard himself In some way the buoy be-
 came detached from the gold and it has never been recovered although both men have made full confession of the crime The amount of this roh- bery k supposed to have been in the neighhorhood of $75OOO
 "The river steamer on which came
 carried by registered mail apnroxi- mately $5OO.O0O in gold. This mail was put in statcroom and was secured
 only by paddock. There was no guard
 over the room by day except the pur- ser. who had other duties to attend to, and one watchman, who was responsi- ble for it's safety by night. and who, by the way, was the general boat watch
 man. It would have been no trouble | for anyone to have obtained any DOT ] tion of the sacks of gold and taken it | from the boat at any time.

SAN FRANCISCO.-Alth the United States authorities have solved two of the mysterious rObberies of gold, Iamounting to $l15OOO. while in transit from Alaska. they are as yet unable to assure safe transit for the valuable metal.
 The banks which have suffered the most from the robberies last year aban-
 in moving the gold and consigned it to
 the registered mail but without any ap- parent decrease in the number of mys-
 tcrious disappearances.
 Loose transportation methods are re-
 sponsible for many of the thefts. As sistant United States District Attorney | Harry Cohen, of Fairbanks, Alaska, 1 who has been identified with the work of bringing the robbers to justice, ar
 rived in the city few days ago with a new story of the conditions surround ing the crimes.
 "Thc recent gold robberies in Alas ka," said Cohen" have proved a prob len. that the banks are trying in vain
 to solve. Prior to this past season, the
 banks have been shipping their gold to the outside through the express com pany. This year they attempted to
 send all gold by registered mail
 "The first robbery of gold occurred | in peculiar manner. Several mail sacks were delivered by the United States authorities to the British au- thorities at Dawson. and the total num- 1 Der was receipted for. Within few
 minutes from the time the receipt was signed two of the mail pouches, which
 contained approximately $40.0OO, were
 found to he missing. Neither of these has been recovered.
 "The second robbery occurred in United States territory near Fort Gib- bon. The mail pouch had been stored by the purser of the boat in state room. Entrance had been made by cut ting the screen of the window and making an incision in the side of the sack, from which the gold was ex-
