learned that the gentlemen in Kentucky
was clearing half a million year and
had no heart for his fellow men. Larry
learned it at the same time, and you
couldn't have found two more aston1sh-
ed men in town. We had all along
prided ourselves that we were a couple
of philanthropists, but in truth we had
been helping to work a skin game.
By the advice of my conscience put
my gains in my Wifes name, and by
the advice of a lawyer Larry started
for Europe His steamer went down in
a storm, but he persisted with an inno-
cent conscience. He could feel at the
last that he had never knowingly
wronged any one. I am left to bear the
burden of censure alone, but L am easy
in my mind. 1 went into it for the
good of the people, and any one who
found that I wasn't doing him good
could have put his dough into silver
mine any day. There's not been COM

they ceased to love me the less.

JIMMIE O'TOOLIC

| 1t was my lifelong friend, Larry
| Welcher. who got me into the policy
business. and I have always believed
that he was actuated by the same kim
sentiments as myself. He was on his
| way to Europe to enjoy $4,000 in
cash when his steamer went down and
| he was cut off from all chance of ever
making explanations. I must make
them for both of us. The doctor says
l shall not live to see another buckle
| berry season, and having this in mind
| it can't be supposed that I will tell
anything but the solid truth.
I was working my gang of Dagoes
on cellar excavation, and had just
| thrown a fve-pound rock at one of
them who had stopped to pick a stray
spike out of his foot, when my friend
Larry comes along and says:
Jim mie, sit down here in the shade
of the derrick until we have a little
conversation"
IF do, some of the Dagoes will be
stopping to draw long breath" says
But if they do I've got something
to make good for it. Jimmie, did you
ever hear of the game of policy?"
I'm a roundabout way I have.
Larry. I've heard the old woman say
something about it in her sleep, but ]
never paid any particular attention.
When you are driving a gang of
thirty-seven Dagoes ten hours a day
you have plenty on your hands with
out thinking of poetry. What is the
thing called policy. anyhow"
That's what never knew myself
until yesterday. I've gone along for
the last forty years thinking it had
something to do with the green goods
business, but that's where I've made
good man. This is a world, Jimmie,
in which we ought to be careful in
making up our minds. lest we do our
fellow man an Injustice

was trying to loaf on me because he
had mashed his thumb, and Mr.. We'll

You have heard of Mr. Carnegie,
Jimmie? ''

for seven of his gift libraries
Hes a good man.. He's a kind
hearted man. He's a man that feels
for his fellow man. 1t makes him sad
when he hears of a poor wildly wo-
man sitting in her home by the light
of ta1low candle and nothing in the
shape of Roman history to read. All,
q good man is Andy-a good man. In
stead of founding free libraries he
could use his money to have a whpop-
ing old time along Broadway. and that
he don't do it shows that he was
brought up we'll in his infancy"
But what of policy" I asks, after
taking out my time-book and docking
every Dago on the job five minutes on
general principles.
"a good man is Carnegie, Jimmie,
but there are others. There are 9TH
ers who are just as big-hearted to-
wards their fellow men, but are too
modest to have their names publish
ed in all the papers They do for the
people and don't say anything about

out and make a spread of it they turn
him down. I'm not saying anything
agin free libraries, but I'm contending
that there are other things just as

Mr.. Hawley had not nearly finished
Adams cross-examination at five
o'clock, not having gone into the mat
ter of the confession at all. He proved
by Adams that he was literally sup

ton of where he got them was vague.
He told Mr.. Hawley that he made
trip to California in 1903 to look at
the mines, but did not know whether
or not they were placer or quartz.
This was the time when upon his re-
turn with kid Minister, Adams was

the independence depot. having heard
that his name was mentioned as pos
sible participant in that crime.

Hitchcock, the actor, refused to an
swer questions put to him when he
was called as a witness in the action
for criminal libel brought by Former
Congressman William Astor Chanler

himself under indictment, he could
not be compelled to make answers
which might tend to 7incriminate and

RUSSIA FORGiVES us.
Is Willing to Enter Into a Partnership
I With Uncle Sam

st. Petersburg, Nov. 20.-The
Novoe Vremya publishes an editorial
article today in which it declares that
Secretary of War Taft, as we'll as all
Americans, is sure of a most cordial
welcome throughout Russia. The
traditional friendship of Russia for
the grandest of modern democracies,
the paper continues. does not waver
in spite of the attitude taken by the
United States during the Russo-Jap-
anese war. By misplacing her SYM
pathies at this time America hurt
mainly herself and created a most re-
doubtable rival. The natural impulse
of Russia would be to meet America
half way in the matter of combina-
lions affecting the Pacific upon the
condition that country share equally
in the profit.

STEVE ADAMS ON STAND
Testffies That He Yves Promised I'M
munity by MCFARLAND.

Rathdrum. Nov. 20.-Steve Adams
was on the stand yesterday in his own
defense. He said he came out of the
st. Joe country on the Sth of August.
went to Occur D'Alene and then to
Spokane and two or three days after
was at Sacred Heart hospital to see
his cousin, Mrs. Warren Oliver. This
corroborated the testimony of Mrs.
Oliver, who stated he came to see her
on the 14th of August He went to
Occur D'Alene from Spokane and
tried to buy out a homestead of some
one whose name he did not know.
Then he and Simpkins went to Ward
ner, stayed three or four days and
then went back to Marble Creek on
the Sth. He. was asked if he was in
the strike at Cripple Greek and said
he was and went from there to Dem
yer. That was the time he changed his
name to Steve Dixon. He said he had
about $3.50 when he left Cripple
Creek but gave $50 or SIS to his wife.
His wife and family drew relief from
the Western Federation all the time
they were on strike.
The first time he ever heard of
those cabins on Marble Creek being
blown up was after he had been put in
the cell with Harry Orchard at Boise
in 1906.
Mr.. barrow asked him If he was
ever In the Marble Creek country
after the last of July or first of Au-
gust as he had testified. He said he
was never there after coming out the
Sth of August.
Adams told of his arrest in Baker
City and said he was not allowed to
see a lawyer until just before leaving
when a man named Moore came up
and he and Brown looked at his
requisition papers and told Adams
that he could keep him there but
thought it would be best for him to
go to Boise. He said Brown told him
If he would go to Boise and corrobor-
ate the statement of the officials there
he would be all right as he was on the
inside and knew what he was talking
about. He was placed in the cell with
Harry Orchard at Boise and kept
there five or six days. During that
time Warden Whitney took him out
and told him If he would zorro borate
Orchards confession he would be all
right. MCFARLAND came and told him
If he would corroborate the confession
of Orchard he would be all right

GEORGE B. SHAW'S
VIEW OF AMERICA

"The woman is intellectually the
better man in our country" I sug-
gested,
There are interesting things about
the American woman. She does really
believe in enjoying herself. She has
no conscience.
'None at all?" 1 inquired.
"No. She comes over here and
deliberately sets out having what YOU
call "a good time There is a very
curious movement here. For a long
time we have had complaints of the
American woman. If you read our
novels which profess TO deal with So
cietv. and our social articles, or listen
to the conversation of men about the
American woman. you will find there
are two complaints always recurring.
One is that she has no conscience,
which makes her a very hopeful social
phenomenon, and the other is that she
has no sex. 1 don't profess to know
why other people say this. 1 think OF
course the American women win role

cursiveness and this power Of interest

when she gets educated by living in a
really civilized country instead of that
hopeless, provincial, colonial place Oh
the other side Of the Atlantic. But
as she throws off all that intellectual
discursiveness and that secondhand
stuff she gets out of books and centres
herself more and more on herself and
her immediate feelings. she will prob
ably get a conscience. and she will also
get what English people call sex. That

age. because the tendency Of the Eng.
