NINETY Miles Vt
ON HORSEBACK
TEDDY WILL GIVE ARMY OFFlC-
ERs A RIDE FOR THEIR
LIFE
THIRTY MILES A DAY FOR THREE
DAYS TO BE THE
TEST

San Antonio, Texas, Jan. 14-(Spe-
ciaD TEST rides for army officers, as
recommended by President Roosevelt
and prescribed by the war department,
have just been completed at Fort Sam
Houston near this city. The ride is
to consist of Is miles, five at a walk,
five miles at a trot, and five at a gal
lop, time hours and Is minutes.
Both officers and horses felt so well on
the crisp sunny mornings of yester-
day and the day before that the ride
was completed in one hour and half
without distress either to men or hor-
ses. Horseback riding is the great
winter sport here, and everybody, in
Guiding the women and children, ride.
The Is mile test is looked upon as a
joke by the Texans, who think moth
ing of riding forty to fifty miles a
day. However, it is unoficially an
nounced that President Roosevelt will
advise for the near future a severer
test ride of thirty miles a day for
three consecutive days orsninety miles.

New York Times: Elizabeth Bacon
Custer, widow of Gen. George A. Gus
ter, the Indian fighter has purchas-
ed a plot of land not far from the
Hotel Gramatan, in which she lives, in
Bronxville, where she will erect a

Mrs. Custer bought the land from
Jefferson M. Levy through Broker
Burke Stone of Bronxville 1t is not
her intention to erect the memorial
building at present, and it may be sew

begun.
The fact that Mrs. Custer has lived
in the literary and art colony in and

years influenced her in selecting the
site for the proposed memorial.

tically shrieking and lighting to get
out
While the frenzied people were fight
ing to get down the front stairs the
calcium light tank exploded and frs
was spread over the entire mass of
people. This added horror was more
than the feeble rescuers could stand
and in order to save their own lives
they were forced to flee down the
fire escapes.
On the front steps outside the door
men pulled frantically to open the way
for the wedged-in people, but not
more than half a dozen were rescued
in this manner. The explosion of the
calcium tank and flames from the
front of the stage which had by this
time reached the struggling people
made further rescue impossible.
The entire interior of the building
was a seething furnace. The firemen
threw a feeble stream of water into
the burning building, but it had no
effect on the flames. The cries of
struggling people, many with their
clothing already ablaze, and means of
the dying, were heartrending.
Fathers and brothers, frenzied by
the thought that loved ones were in
the fiery place, were compelled to re-
treat. Nothing could be done to get
the people out and they were forced to
stand by and watch the awful sacri-
fee of life, The flames advanced as
rapidly as prairie fire.
The flames had entirely enveloped
the building and threatened adjoin-
ing property. The fire department of
Pottstown found the situation very
bad and went to work wit hvim to
stay the progress of the flames This
was accomplished after the building
was entirely destoyed and several ad-
joining structures were badly damag-
ed.
When the flames were extinguished
and rescuers entered the building a
horrible sight met their gaze. Bodies
were piled in a solid mass six feet
high on the second floor. So solidly
were they wedged that pick-axes and
crowbars had to be used to separate
the victims.
DR.. ]. K. Evans, the burgess of NAL
vern, who supervised the removal of
the bodies on besalf of the coroner,
said there were nine female victims
to one male. He did not believe that
ten percent of the victims would ever
be identified. In nearly every case
the upper portions Of the body were
burned away and in a great many in
stances the lower parts of tn ebody
were not touched by the fire.

LUMBER TRUST
FEELS SO GOOD

Minneapolis, Mimi, Jan. 14.-The
convention of the Northwestern Lum-
bermen's association met in this city
today and the feature of the first SEES
sion was a defense of the organized
lumber trade against the charge of
being trust. The defense was part
of the annual report of w. G.. Hollis,
secretary of the association.
Since our last meeting said Mr.
Hollis, in his report, s'the legislature
of Minnesota, through committee
appointed for that purpose, has made
investigation, the result of which was
a disappointment. The report of the
committee stated in effect that while
they had not been able to find any
evidence of trust, they still believ-
ed one to be in existence. Like a
woman convinced against her will,
they were of the same opinion still.
Much has been voiced and has
been written during the last twelve
months about the lumber trust, al
legged to be the greatest trust of ALL
Prairie fires, abuse and misrepresen-
tation, kindled by the United States
senate and famed by all those enc
mics to progress who would pull
down business to foster their own
schemes, has rapidly spread all over
the country until every organization
of lumbermen is under the ban"

Never Forsake = Friend.

Whatever happens, never forsake a
friend. When enemies gather. when
sickness falls upon the heart, when the
world is dark and cheerless, is the
time to try true friendship. They
who turn from the scenes of distress
betray their hypocrisy and prove that
interest only moves them. II you have
q friend who loves you, who has stud
led your interest and happiness, be
sure to sustain him in adversely. Let
him feel that his love was not thrown
away. Real fidelity may be rare, but
1t exists In the heart. They only deny
its worth and power who never loved
q friend or labored to make friend
happy.-Exchange

When I paid visit to the Cetinje

the afternoon they are allowed to wan

ON. There is nothing, indeed, but their
own sense of honor to prevent their
going farther afield unless they be
murdeEers, in which case they wear
chains. The authorities provide them
with housing, of course, and with
clothes-not uniform-also with a fire
at which to cook their food, and they
give them fourpence day each to
buy it. The prisoners cater for them
selves. Two Of them go to the market
every morning to buy provisions for
the day. They are not required to work
unless they choose, and they are classi,
fed not according to the seriousness
of their offense, but according to their

no doubt imaginatively, chronicled
by the said veracious correspondent.
But few days afterward, and before
we had entirely recovered from this

whether a trumpet or trombone
and. all other implements of attack

prairie and began to play his horn.
For three hours he played, during
which the wolves stopped, unwilling
to attack the source of such divine
melody, and finally they skunk away,
leaving the hornblower partly ex-
hausted from his continuous perform
