LEFT BIG MAN THINKING.
Visitors Remark Tended to Reduce.
"Swelled Head"

There are men in high positions in.
New York who are a credit to them
only in their business ability. One of
that sort came to the city a dozen
o more years ago from a western
town, where he made his start. "a

less pretentious days called on him re-

the reception he received. Il have no

You may have forgotten me, but I met
you several times on business visits to
your old town, and I thought I'd like

ON BURGLAR TATE'S TRACK
POLICE FOLLOW THE ESCAPED
FELoN TOWARD MILWAUKEE,.
Said to Be with Notorious "Eddie''
Fay-capture of Both Men
Expected Soon.

Chicago, April 27.-Edwin R. Tate,
gentleman burglar" charged with
%dynamiting the school board safe at
Peoria and destroying evidence
against Newton G. Dougherty and
other rich and influential citizens of
that city, is on his way from Chicago
to Milwaukee. Detectives from Capt.
O'Brien's Office Friday picked up the
trail of the man, who walked away
from the Peoria authorities under sus-
picious and sensational circumstances.
His capture is believed to be a mat
ter of only a few hours.
Tate Is with Eddie" Fay, accord
ing to police information. 1t is now
believed by the police that Fay, who
is another notorious safeblower and
burglar, really executed the job Of
blowing the Peoria safe under an
agreement with Dougherty and his
accomplices which was negotiated
through Tate.
Capt. O'Brien's men had Swallowed
the home of Fay in Englewood and
discovered that Tate was there. Six
men were sent from the city hall, led
by Detectives Tobin and Duffy, and
plans we're laid to surround the house
and capture both men. The detec.
tives we're all heavily armed in an
ticipation Of a desperate resistance.
Before the detectives reached the
house, however, they received word
that both men had left and boarded a
train for Milwaukee.
The authorities in that city were at
once notified, and all the intermediate
towns were also warned to be on
the lookout for the fugitives. Two de.
tectives left at once for Milwaukee,
and Capt. O'Brien is expecting in.
formation Of Tate within a few hours.

Public Gifts for Beauty.

Everett H. Barney, a millionaire of
Springfield, Mass, has just decided an
estate and a fortune to the city as
the beginning of a scheme of local
Identification. The plans include a
boulevard and park system to extend
two miles along the Connecticut river.
Cooperation is called for on the part
of the municipality and by the New
York, New Haven & Hartford railroad.
Mr.. Barney's act and William p.
Letchworth's splendid gift of a park
reservation to the state Of New York,
recorded thus early in 1907, seem to
promise a rare turn to the benefac-
lions of the year. It has been charg-
ed that u rich men show no mag
nation, but only method in their CIV
ing; that they follow routine though
extremely useful lines of philanthro-
Ply in endowing colleges, libraries and
churches. If they are to pay a good
deal of attention hereafter to the
promotion of cities beautiful and to
the preservation Of natures own art
galleries, this point of criticism will
have to be abandoned.

PURE FOOD LAWS DEFlEp.
P~reservative for Meats Is Found, in
Use in Kansas.

Topeka, Kan, April 26.-Dr. S. ].
Crumbine, secretary of the state board
of health, announced Thursday that he
had discovered in use here a preserva-
tive for meats, the manufacturers of
which. he asserts, are openly defying
the state and federal pure food laws.
The preservative is made in the east
and chemical tests show that it con-
tains charcoal and pure sulphur, which
when burned form a sulphur dioxide
gas that Is absorbed by the meat and
has the same effect as borax. The
manufacturers in their circulars state
that the preservative makes it posi-
BILE for butchers to evade the law, con-
tending that the powder itself does not
touch the meat.
Secretary Crumbine has notified all
pure food inspectors in Kansas to
warn butchers against the use of the
p~reservative and he says he will sub
NIT the matter to DR.. Harvey w. Wi
ley, chief of the bureau of chemistry
at Washington.

RleHT-HANDED ~ LEFT.LEeeED.
Popularity of Humanity That Is Not
Generally Considered.

Most people would think that as
man is, with very few exceptions,
'right-handed," he would be at the
same time "right-legged." But this is
not the case. Almost every right
handed man Uses his left leg more
than his right. For instance, most
people find it much more natural to
go round circles to the right than to
the left. That is because they start
with the left leg. Being stronger, it is
more readily brought into action, and
it is on this account that bodies of
soldiery always start to march with
the left foot. Almost all courses for
foot races are made out for running
to the right, and dancers will indorse
the statement that the majority of
movements are far more easily exc
cuted in this direction. The left foot
is the n that is placed in the stir
rup for mounting a horse, and in
jumping, it is from the left foot that
the athlete takes off," Thus it will
be seen that, as a general rule, fright
handed people are "~leftlegged."

said the old gentleman reminiscently
to his companion, a younger and much
less experienced man. The two men
were discussing life in double harness.
The younger one was anxious. He felt
half afraid. So he consulted his
friend, older and far more experienced
than he in the matrimonial field.
But how did they prove it?" queried
the young man. The older man had
been telling him of his own peculiar
experience. And he told it in a sad,
way. WELL" replied the experienced
one, Nell, she stuck a needle in her
waist about a year before l got so

Owes His Life to Umbrella.

During the Franco.German war a
man owed his life to an umbrella.
He was so obviously a foreigner that
the French arrested him as a German
spy. He swore that he was English,
but was disbelleved. A drumhead
court-martial sentenced him to in
slant execution. AS they led him
away he insisted on returning, as he
had left something. He could not re.
turn, they told him; he was now go.
ing to be shot. But he must go
back, he declared. What had he
left? they asked. my umbrella" he
said. They were instantly convinced
that no n but an Englishman could
be SO helpless an idiot. He was at
once liberated.

Fought Bears with Axes.

Two woodchoppers, armed with
axes, had a battle with a huge black
bear and four partially grown cubs
on Mt. Pico, says a Rutland (vt.)
correspondent of the New York
Times. They killed two cubs, but the
mother and other cubs got away.
Luther Weeks and his son Clinton
felled a large tree and it crashed down
into a clump of bushes. Angry growls
followed, and the four bears, who had
been alternating under the bushes.
made for the men. The men fought
and won. The cubs that were killed
weighed 100 pounds each. The men
declare the old bear was fully eight
feet long and would weigh about 500
pounds.

TESTIMONY SUPPORTS HIS CLAIM
Lawyer Declares He
Has Studied Habits Of the Wander

Been kidnapers Of Children.

Boston.-"Be good children, or the
gypsies will get you"
For hundreds of years mothers
and nurses have used this style of ad-
monition with refractory children, for
since the advent of the gypsies into
England from the east In the six
teenth century, popular opinion has
associated them with thievery and
kidnapping and thriftless ways, with
sorceries and lamentations and things
that loom terrible to the childish
mind. Famous writer's have pictured
them as incorrigible rascals, the pub
1ic who have seen only the nomadic
features Of their life have built up
many superstitions around this an
cient people, until to-day to be a gyp-
sy is to be an outcast, nameless
wanderer upon the earth, feared and
distrusted by all men save the few
whose dealings with the gypsy folk
have taught them better.
But have not Borrow and Groome

Walter Scott fallen into the error Of

depredations and the frequent atroci-

their bad name, name that has stuck
to them ever since:

turtles later. These bands were most
ly English gypsies, although many
bands from the continent of Europe
are to be found in the United States.
But whatever nationality a tribe be-
longed to, 1t retained the Romani Ian
guage, the language common to all
gypsies. This is not simple jargon
or cant. 1t is a true and complete
language, especially in the farther
east, where the gypsies have remained
compact, and 1t possesses consider
able vocabulary and highly devel-
oped system of infections. This Ian
guage has naturally been influenced
to considerable extent by the coun-
try Of adoption. the broken dialect
of the English gypsies, which is the
language of the majority of the
American tribes, being a strange mix
ture of English and Romani.

accurate personal knowledge OF the
people of whom they have written?
And have not the gypsies' romantic
charm, their curious lingo, their habit
of wandering, their supeSstitions and
lore and their supposed freedom from
humdrum restraints and moral and
legal conventions created in the pub
lie mind an altogether false impress
sion of this curious people? Those
who have come closest to them assert
that such is the case.
Especially is the popular idea fall
lacy when applied to the American
gypsy, and it has remained for A. T.
Sinclair, a Massachusetts lawyer, to
come publicly to their defense. Mr.
Sinclair is in position to know what
he talks about. He has spoken the
Language of the American gypsy for
rs years, he has given years of study
to the habits of the oriental gypsy,
and to the subject he has devoted his
best observation. The result Of his
dealings with gypsies and his close
association with them for quarter Of
q century is the firm belief that they
are a much libeled and greatly mis-
understood people.
Talk Little Of Themselves.
Many have wondered why the gypsy
has never tried to defend himself,
why no one of them has ever attempt
cd to refute the general conception Of
his people. When an outsider APP
proaches gypsy to get information.
the man who a moment before might
have been loquacity itself, In the
hope Of making horse trade, be-
comes suddenly secretive; he is as
close as the proverbial oyster. Not
once in a thousand times will gypsy
discuss with an outsider either his
own affairs or those of his tribe, what
ever the strangers business claims
may be upon his consideration.
But Tom Stanley, son of the chief
of the Somerville gypsies, relented
somewhat from this rule to explain
certain misconceptions that have long
existed in the minds of the public
concerning the wandering folk.
"Of course It doesn't matter to us
what people think, SO long as we
know ourselves honest and SO long as
wc.piay fair in trade and In all our
dealings with the world" he said.
THAT is one reason why none of us
hasi ever taken the trouble tn contra
