'It's good one" continued
Hank, "and we will sure make
heaps of dust. Just listen to me
a minute and I will explain it to
you. You remember that nest of
rattlers l turned over the other
day? Well, those buzzers were
worth forty dollars each; that's what
that tenderfoot from back East
told me. He said that the muse
UNI would buy them, and that we
could sell the skins. Now all we
got to do is to catch them, box
and send them back East. What
do you think of it?"
"Well," said I, Il will furnish
the salt; you catch them, put them
in the boxes, and I will send them
back East"
"Hu!' grunted Hank, "what do
I want salt for?''
"Why, to put on their tails, OF
course; l suppose that is the way
you catch them, amt it?''

of sagebrush as industrious as
could be. When [ got around to
him he wanted to know what I
was doing on top of the cliff.

his forked stick across the neck of

the bag. Of course I couldn't
hear him call; I was too busy try

hoping and praying that 1
wouldn't see one.
Hank was getting anxious. His
snake had worked it's head almost
out from under the stick. He
was leaning on the stick for all he
was worth, and using some of the
most picturesque language I had

; placed my stick behind his, then
' Hank got it by the neck and
jerked it into the bag. We car

While Hank was getting supper
[ tied chip to a piece of thread

Member Of the Swedish Royal
Family Received With Much En-.

SPEND WEEK OF SIGHTSEEING.

NEW YORK, Aug. 2S:-Prince
Wilhelm, of Sweden, who has been
the chief figure at a notable series of
entertainments and receptions al
jamestown and at Newport and other
New England cities, arrived at the
Grand Central station this morning
at 1902 o'clock on the Boston Express
and later went to the Hotel Astor.
Huntington Wilson, third assist
ant secretary of state, escorted the
prince to Oyster Bay this afternoon
where he met President Roosevelt.
Drawn up at the station awaiting
the arrival of the prince was Com
modore H. f. Lindberg, of the Swed-
ish cruiser Fylgia, who preceded the
royal visitor and several officer of the
ship, all arrayed in their most strik-
ing uniforms. Magnus Clarholm, the
Swedish vice consul in New York was
also of the reception party and there
was a large crowd of curiosity seek
ers in the depot even at that early
hour
AS soon as the train arrived the
car which the prince occupied was
shunted on to track ~ and came up
to the station gates. The sleeper was
member of the princes suite came
out and announced that Wilhelm was
dressing and would soon be ready TO
receive the commodore and party. AT
1850 o'clock the commodore and his
attendants received the word to en-

respects to the prince.
AS soon as the prince reached the

leveled at him and as the machines
clicked he smiled at the photograph
ers.
"How do you like Boston beans
prince?" yelled one onlooker.
Most excellent" was his laughing
reply, as he climbed into the auto
mobile. Prince Wilhelm speaks Eng
| lish fluently, and understands all that
| is going on about him.
He got into the auto and was fol
lowed by Commodore Lindberg. AS
the machine started vast on Forty
second street, the crowd gave the
prince a cheer and in response to it
he took off his hat and waved it at
the gathering. Consul Clarholm and
others of the party followed in an
other automobile, which in five min
utes had whirled the royal visitor TO
the Hotel AStOr, where another large
crowd and a second squad of photog-
raphers awaited him.
After bowling and smiling to the
crowd, the prince made his way 10
his suite of rooms and prepared for
breakfast. The hotel corridors were
thronged with people trying to get a
peep at him, and he carried hlmseil
so democratically that it was not d
dificnlt matter to get close to him.

Officers Much Election.
eering for Convention.
DR.. CR0WTHER Is PROMINENT.

TRENTON, Aug. Members of
the l. o. o. F. of New Jersey from
all parts of the state are gathered
at White city today for the annual
outing and field day of the organiza-
ton; and to judge from the plans of
the general committee, the affair will
be the biggest gathering of the kind
in the history of the organization.
Men of local, county, state and ma
tional reputation will attend and
participate in the exercises. Acting
Grand Master DR.. Frank Crow
ther, of Perth Amboy, and Grand Sec
retary Harry S. Pine, of this city;
Grand Scribe Frank r. Jummel,
Grand, Representative c. Fleming
Stanger, of Glassboro, and Grand
Patriarch Oscar M. Folk, of Paterson,
are to deliver addresses.
The lodges of the order in this
state have net assets of more than
$1,OO0,O00. There are $4,000 men,
bers in New Jersey and 100000 in
the entire order. There has been a
net gain, of 100000 in the past five
years.
Dr. Crowther is the acting grand
master of this state. The effect of
his active and continued effort is al
ready being shown by the greatly in
creased interest in the order through
out the state. He is one of the best
platform speakers in the state.
Mr.. Pine, state secretary, was
elected to the position last year after
an exciting and close contest. Upon
assuming the duties of the Office he
moved to this city, dropped his other
business connections and has devoted
his time to the work of the order
His conduct of the Office has won for
him the hearty commendatiOn of
every grand officer and the support
of three-fourths of the lodges of the
entire state.
He was grand master in 1902 and
his service at that time, together with
his activities on the leading commit
tees of the grand lodge since, have
given him an experience which has
proven invaluable in his present Off
cial relations.

MISSING |2
DAYS; FOUND
Miss Brady, Of Roosevelt Escap.
ed from Her Home. She
Is Demented.

Special to the EVENING NEWS:

oPcCttt ~ tNc IL hNINo " AVE- 'o'
ROOSEVELT, Aug. 2S:- The
daughter of John Brady, who had
been reported to the authorities as
missing for the past twelve days, was
found yesterday afternoon about 5
O'Clock by Joseph Crane, the street
commissioner. She was sitting un-
der tree about 100 feet back of
Hempsal's farm, half way between
her home and Railway.
Miss Brady is demented, and has
been closely guarded for considerably
more than two years. To prevent
her from doing injury to herself or
others, her father has for long time
kept her confined in an upper room.
One week ago Saturday she escaped
by climbing through the door tran
som.
Mr.. Brady searched the neighbor-
hood, but no trace of his daughter
could be found. The next morning a
boy saw her back of the Brady barn,
but as soon as the unfortunate wom-
an caught glimpse of the boy she
turned and, with shrek, ran across
the fields into the woods. Her father
says that she is afraid of man and
beast-often the presence of dog OF
cat frightening her.
This is the third time that Miss
Brady has escaped from home. Once
she was found in the woods nearly
dead, and her father fears that she
has starved to death. He says that
she would be afraid to venture near 6
house to obtain food or shelter.
When found yesterday she wa!
very weak, and from all appearances
had been under the tree for the pas
two days. She is about forty years
old.
