John D. Watches Golf Game.

Cleveland, O., July.-John D. Reeke- feller, the Standard Oil magnate. eele- brated his 6Sth birthday Monday by watching the play for the Olympic cup on the Euclid club links. Shedding his coat. rolling up his trousers and jam ming his soft straw hat firmly on the back of his head, the man reputed to be the richest man in the world trudg- ed along in the midst of crowd of golf enthusiasts watching the play of Walter J. Travis and W. c. Bownes. He applauded their good plays ex- pressed sorrow for their lead shot, and in general enjoyed himself to the full in observing the play of these two crack amateurs. No secret service men accompanied him. Almost unob- served, he joined the gallery follow ing the Travis match at the ninth green. and trudged along with them over the last nine holes. He was par ticu1arly interested in the play of the veteran Travis.

SCHMITz SENTENCED
Mayor Given Five Years In Prison On
 Charge of Extortion.

San Francisco. July.-Mayor Eugene Schmitz, convicted of extorting s1 ,175 from French restaurant keepers, was Monday sentenced by Judge Dunne to serve five years in the San Quentin penitentiary. The last words of the sentence had hardly passed from the Judges lips when thunderous cheer was sent up from the great crowd in attendance.
 Several threw their hats into tho air. others scrambled and pulled hair to see over the shoulders of the crowd The greatest confusion prevailed.
 Attorney Fairall of the defense call ed out to Judge Dunne:
 Your honor, this cheering is a very unseemly occurrence"
 Well, retorted Judge Bunne, If We had a sheriff worthy of the name 1t would have been stopped instantly"
 Sheriff Thomas O'Neill was standing inside the rail. He turned to the court and protested.
 Nobody could have stopped that noise your honor"
 Special Agent Burns of the prosecu- ton led number of bailiffs and said:
 Clear the courtrooml Clear the courtroom."
 But only few of the hundred of apparently delighted men obeyed the sharp order. Some were hustled un- ceremoniously out into the railways. About one hundred others kept their vantage places around the counsel ta- ble, where Schmitz sat dietating a statement to the newspaper men. Be fore pronouncing the sentence Judge Dunne made a short talk to the pris= oner calling attention to his betrayal of the peoples trust. Schmitz hotly interrupted this speech, protesting that he was entitled to receive his sentence only and not a lecture from the court To one of these interruptions, Judge Dunne said: Tt is not unusual for courts to be brought into contact with such brazen acts of effrontery as yours in the present instance. It Is the duty of the court in such eases to view the conduct of a convicted fel- on with patience and toleration, not to say pity. By your conviction you will lose the respect of all good men and citizens. You will suffer the hu initiation of knowing, I say. that your career of hypocrisy, duplicity and dis honor has been exposed. and that you stand before those who believed in and honored you morally naked. shamed and disgraced.n Sehmstz is still to be tried on four other charges.

DROPPED OUT OF EXISTENCE.
Why Resident of Australia Was
 Reported as Suicide.

Three times I have been 'suicide' and each time have lived to tell the tale" declared John T. Bidleman. produce merchant of Melbourne. Aus | tralia, at the Arlington. according Q the Washington Post. Mir Bidleman is about 50 years of age and has face that reveals much individuality. No, did not take poison nor drown myself nor do any of those things that people ordinarily do when they take their own lives" he went on. T simply dropped out of existence each time, forgetting the old surroundings and living again in new ones. l have come to believe that the best remedy for despondency IS a new environment, to be gained at whatever the cost.
 T was born at Bangor, Me. My father was carpenter and I grew up into the life of the town about as the ordinary boy would. When 1 was about r years old I developed an unsuitable desire to travel, had wan derlust, as the Germans call it. wanted to go somewhere. but how did not know. Everything seemed commonplace and dreary to me and for two years I became more and more depressed until my folks de- spaired of my health. One night. more than 90 years ago, I accidentally discovered my fathers pistol and thought it was the solution of the difficulty
 T thought that no existence at all would be better than the one I was living. My mother was dead, my father and I were fighting it out alone. But 1t occurred to me that it was the environment that did not suit me, and that l might better find new life somewhere else. So I worked my way to New York and earned my way to Liverpool on a sailing packet. From there I went to London. I tried to for get the old life. and lived in the new. l entered a mercantile establishment, worked my way up slowly until I earned a fair salary. l married there and was quite contented But after seven years my wife died. and soon l became Respondent again. l knew London well. Things did not interest me. 1 felt that I must go somewhere. The loss of my wife at one time made me think of actual suicide again, but not for long, and. taking my savings. l sailed away to Australia, where I drifted into the produce business and have lived there ever since But 13 years is long time for me to remain in one place. For a year past I have had the suicide mania, and now I am going to find some city in the United States to live in the rest of my days"

CRAFT IN TRANSFERS.
The Office Boy Knows How to Utilize
 Them.


 Why do you suppose they print all this stuff on them?" asked the so- ciety woman wearily, as she gazed at her transfer ticket Of course mo- body ever reads one of them
 oh, don't they?" exclaimed the business woman. If you want to kp9w the meaning of every letter on a transfer ticket just ask some boy. Our office boy can unravel the mys- teries of a transfer ticket in a way to make a college professor pale with envy. He never lets one get away from him, either He begins to col lect them each morning on his way to the office. begging them from pas sengers. picking them up on the street sometimes I half fear he takes them away from the rightful holders-and he can tell you exactly where you can go on each ticket, the exact minute at which its useful ness will expire and everything else you may wish to know.
 By keeping his collection complete he saves for himself a nickel the office manager allows him fes carfare, and he tells me that he can, by ingenious splicing of transfers, get himself far out into the country for his Saturday afternoons off without spending 8 cent

How to Walk.

In walking it is important to walk as if one enjoyed it. Few women walk as if 1t were pleasure. Some wear heels so high that they are compelled to peg along Others wear the low, fiat heels that give a curious dumpy, lumpy walk.
 Then there are the women who walk the side-toside waddle This IS caused by heels that are run over and clothing that is too tight. It is also caused by carelessness. The wad.ile walk is an easy one to get in the habit of and difficult one to overcome.
 There are women who walk as if they were carrying a burden. They have the laborious motion Of the shoulders which tells that they are uncomfortable.
 If women could only be made to ap- preeiate what an important part of good looks a graceful carriage is. there would be no more poor walkers among them.

Deaf Mutes" Talk.

It is misnomer to 1efer to any one as deaf and dumb" Except in are instances child is mute, not on account of any malformation of the vocal organs, but because 1t is deaf and has never heard a spoken lan- guage The loss of the sense of hear- ing should therefore not necessarily mean deprivation of the power of speech als-.

Another sensation was added to the recent episodes that have startled the people of Helena, when ]. NJ. Scott, the managing editor of the Daily World was called to the rear of his office and fired upon by some unknown person. Several weeks ago the World made an attack on the police force, and the re- suit was a street fight between MT. Adams, president of the World Pub
 fishing Company. and two members of the police force, and later an attempt made to end his own life by Chief of Police Clancy. Whether the attempt ed assassination of MT Scott has any connection with the recent trouble is not known. as there is no clue what
