Hart Mckee Divorce

his first wffe, according to society's

PATH FINDING sY INSTINCT.
Remarkable Sense Displayed by Black
foot Halfbreed Scout.

That the true scout is both born
and made is the argument Of writer
in the London Times, who says: He
has, for example, the capacity Of re-
membering everything he sees on q
journey-the same capacity which
was possessed by Capt. Cook, the fam.
Gus circumnavigator, who would take
walk through the streets of London
and remember all the names above all
the many shops he passed without
the least consciousness of effort. Sim
ilarly red Indian who takes a jour
ney will remember everything he
passes--every tree, open space, stream
ON the whole length Of the trail
In some cases an even more remark
able instinct for path finding Is re-
vealed. Thus Col. s. B. Steele, who
commanded Strathcona's Horse in
South Africa and has known all the
famous western scouts and prairie de-
tectives, once told me that a Black
foot half-breed employed years age
by the Northwest mounted police was
the best guide he had ever met pos
sessing, as he did, an almost uncanny
sense Of locality and direction.

Divorced Wife Who secame
a Queen In Social Circles

INSSU ~ OQCldi @tASiSo
Far back in one OF the Rocky noun
tain states the ghost Of such a tragedy
lies close to the annals Of congress
and It's representatives. A man who
had found enormous wealth in the
gold-ribbed mountains divorced the
wife who had followed him over the
packtrail and cooked for his miners.
His second wife was a woman Of
magnificent physical beauty, some So
cial standing and a few accomplish
ments, but lacking in what makes
woman truly beautiful soul. For a
time she queened it over her hus-
bands newly acquired social life. The
first wife was forgotten. Then sud
denly the lae.er appeared upon the
scene, but different woman. She
had spent the intervening years
abroad, where she had studied under
able masters and had been gowned by
the subtlest OF modistes and millin-
ers. She had become an accomplished
charming, perfectly poised woman.
And before her lovely personality the
mere physical charms Of the second
wife faded. The first wife became
social queen in her disloyal hus-
bands own set. The second wife be-
came a social outeast. But this time
the woman held out no beckoning
hand Of welcome. The man held his
head high, but he had to make way
for the woman he had deserted. Who
shall not say that her regal figure was
more than a Nemesis-an avenger-
that separated him from his second

dressed a republican rally in the
hall Monday evening. Considering
the condition of the weather there
was a large attendance, the hall
being nearly filled. His talk was
scholarly and was very we'll receiy-
ed. He said we are governed by
political parties, and while at the
present time there are no distinctive
issues dividing the great political
parties, the question Of Fitness to
Govern is of more Importance
than the declarations found il
either platform. In support Of this
declaration he reviewed the prog
ress that has been made under re-

with results under democratic rule
and with the policies advocated
during the past twelve years by MIR.

tance.
The chief difference between the Re-
publican and the Democratic platforms
is the difference which has heretofore
been seen between the policies Of Mr..
Roosevelt and those which have been
advocated by the Democratic candidate,
Mr.. Bryan. Mr.. Roosevelt's policies
have been progressive and regulative:
Mr.. Bryan's destructive. Mr.. Roose-
velt has favored regulation OF the busi-
ness IN which evils have grown up so
as to stamp out the evils and permit
the business to continue. Tie tendency
OF Mr.. Bryan's proposals has generally
been destructive OF the business with re-
spect to which he is demanding reform.
Mr.. Roosevelt would compel the trusts
to conduct their business in a lawful
manner and secure the benefits of their
operation and the maintenance of the
prosperity Of the country of which they
are an ilnportSai srt; while Mr..
Bryan would ez't. ind destroy the
