He easily sustained his reputation

fined 5000 ard warned against a
repitition Of the offense.
1t will be remembered that this is
the case in which white officer ran
a.nuck ia tlre above~school early in
May Owing to the fact that there
was a man on the scene able to cope
with the situation, this nan. (police-
man, as was later discovered) nearly
caused panic in the school.
This officer, dressed in citizen at
tire. was avenging himself for his hat
having blown off his head by kicking
it up and down the street Some
small boys, pupils in the above school
being so unfortunate as to see the
humor of the situation were also so
disrespectful and thouIhtless as to
laugh.
This so enraged the Knight of the
Pigskin, that he Immediately aban-
doned his drop-kicking to secure as a
football one of his deriders. The one
selected ran in the school hall, where
Q rehearsal for a concert was in pro
gress. The boy was caught and was
being mauled by his captor, when Mr.
L. H. Bradley. a teacher in the
school, pulled the man off the boy.
The officer then gave most of his time
and attention to the boys savior, in
a hand to hand encounter, from
which Mr.. Bradley emerged unscath-
ed. whereas Mr.. Coombs had been
forcibly invited to leave the building
and remained in the boys yard under
Mr. Bradley's arrest. until the patrol
could be called.
It was not until the station was
reached that even the officer who es-
corted this disturber OF the peace,
knew his prisoner was a fellow off
Ger.
The upshot of the whole affair be
ing the dismissal OF both charges pre-
ferred against the officer
Later the case was carried before

tan IN its appointments Il maintained by
the yards company. There, too. are a
bank and a newspaper. A system OF fire
protection specially adapted to the yards
had grown out OF experiences of the yards.
Thirty-eight little hose stations are perched
up on the fences about the yards. From
these four streams can be played on q fire
In any block" as the division OF the acres
Of pens are called. The same system fur
nishes water under pressure for the flush
ing and sanitation Of the yards. The yards
company also maintains a special stable Of
mounts for employees. It's too far TO walk
much In the stock yards.
The capacity Of the yards Is quoted Tn
striking figures. Thirty-thousand head Of
cattle may be sheltered there at once.
Rooted pens for sheep viii protect 5000
OF them from the weather, while provision
is made for the handling an equal number
Of hogs. There is stall room for 600
horses and the ultimate capacity for horses

The wear OF the passing OF many feet,
the unceasing grind Of business. makes
deterioration In the yards rapid. A force
is continually at work rebuilding the
yards. Lumber is handled by the million
feet. A few years ago It was considered
that the Omaha yards ompan had taken
a long stride in material improvements
when brick paving was laid IN the most
used runway and pens. Today the brick
have been discarded for concrete pavement.
A tribute to the demands Of agricultural
science Is the sheep dipping plant Of the
yards, where 10000 Of the woolly animals
can be put through the anti-scab treatment
In a day. This work Is done under the
supervision OF a government inspector.
The dipping plant is a sort of practical joke
on the sheep. He moves along In blissfuI

dip solution. Then begins a journey OF
100 feet through the molasses tinted soup.
The treatment may be a bit rough, but It
does the work.

stock for breeding purposes can be put on
display and sold. These pavilions are
built like a little theatre. seating, about

CHAMPION SELLER OF HORSES
Colonel Gallup Holds Worlds Record
in This Line of In
dustry.

When It comes to horse sense" Colonel
I. c. Gallup, commission salesman Of
horses and mules at the Union Stock yards,
can lay a large claim through sheer expert
ence. BY dint OF thirty years with the
"hoss-swappin' business he has made the
record Of having sold more equines than
any other man In the world. One hot day
in August Of 1903, the I'D to be as exact
as it stands IN the memory CT the co,onl,
he reached the high mark for a single days
performance by selling a few more than
COCO horses.
"Oh. OF course, they were In carload lois
Mr.. Gallup hastens to explain to admlring
visitors at his establishment, but the tact
remains that II was a lot Of horses any
way. And. bye and bye, Mr.. Gallup can ride
most any horse he ever saw. There was
one he didn't, but he can tell the story
best. The truth Is the naughty little mus
tang saw him coming and ran away
For the last twelve years Mr.. Gallup has
been at the Union stock yards in connec-
ton with the horse and mule business. In
the course Of his daily business there he
frequently sells as many as 900 horses and
the average for the auction sales is 900.
From his barn horses 90 out 20 all the
world. At the South Omaha Union stock
yards is the great horse market Of the

AN ESTIMATE OF TALLEYRAN0
Colonel WattersOn Pays Him TribHs"
as One Alone to Rank with
Pitt.

As the successful warrior is generally
overrated, the successful politician is often
underrated. We associate with success in
politics something Of chicane, aud cunning
conveys to the mind suggestions OF the
ignoble. The very name Of Talleyrand be-
came a synonym for dunlicity:.
He had a repellant personality. His habits
were unclean, his morals adjusted to cir
cumstances, which. in his day, oscillated
between RIGHTEOUSNESS and lying, double
dealing and cheating at cards, bribery
and treachery. He does not appear to have
been worse than the rest OF them who
lived by their wits. He gave good advice
and kept faith with his associates as long
as they kept faith with him. 1t was not
that he deceived them, but that they could
not deceive him.
The event invariably indicated his fore
sight. His epigram, which sparkled and
stung like a rapier, was but the avant
courier Of rare prescience behind il. This
precedence flashed VIII lightning power
through the clouds Of falsehood and error
and went home to the bullseye Of the situa-
ton and he was as prompt in action as he
was accurate in measurement.
His methods could hardly be called fur
tive. He was neither a dissembler, nor a
coward. 1t is easy to generalize as to his
character and TO inVeigh against his aptl-
tude for regeneration; not very easy,
everything considered. to specify where he
was clearly at fault or meanly in the
wrong.
Naturally we Americans cannot admire q
man who held US In such contempt. Never
theless, Talleyrand stands with Pitt, and
Pitt alone, the toremost statesman Of the
modern world, quite, I think, above Net
ternich. Cavour and Bismarck. Even with
US, and with better men than Taneyrand.
, politics makes strange bedfelIows. Its

= tries has teen to attain truth as It relates

worked out, will be the most liberal to en-

The plan, when perfected. will, it is said,

which is said to have given satisfaction

The insurance plan OF Swift and Com

the benefits they draw. Employees paid
