HARTMAN AND THE SPECU-
IATORS.

A few days since on the return OF
Edward H. Hartman to New York
from his trip to Europe, it was an
nounced that he was seriously ill. With
this report Wall street was all excite
ment and the stock market huctuated
accordingly.
Ii is true that Mr.. Hartman, being
a railroad magnate of wonderful re-
sources and ability of management
and possessing great influence, but
why should there be created panicky
feeling on account of his illness? AS
other mortals, he can not live always,
and therefore if the futter over his i'll
ness be an index, panic must follow
whenever he shall have met the in
evitabIe.
Would such a condition be possible
anywhere throughout the civilized world
except in New York, where spectators
manipulate stocks and influence the
money market at wilif
Speculation which is fair and legiti-
mate and which is intended to stimulate
progress may be approved, but values
and securities which are manipulated or
the illness or the predicated death OF
any man, regardless of his station in
life, is criminal In China such specu-
lation would not be tolerated. In China
bank defaulters, bank wreckers and
spectators, such as abound in Wall
street, are impossible. The penalty is
death, which follows speedy trial. Il
IS pity this penalty can not be infiict-
ed in the United States.

Thousands of Them Clearing Out Un-
derbrush of a California Forest.
The brush eating instinct of Ango-
ra goats is being successfully demon
strated on the Lassen national forest
in California. where they are cutting
trails for fire guards through the
brushy areas on the slopes of the
mountains.
The animals. which number 5000.
have been divided into two bands and
under the care of the herders are
grazed within certain we'll defined
areas, so that their work may be con-
centrated on the brush within those
limits. The result is that they have
practically killed nearly all the brush
in the course either by eating it up
entirely or by barking. as in the case
of the heavy manZanita bushes. At
the beginning of the experiment there
was some doubt as to the goats will
ingness to eat the manzanita. but it
has been found that where there is
little else they will just as readily at
tack it as any other bushes.
The grazing season was so late this
year Oh the Lassen forest that the
goats did not begin operations until
about the middle of June. but since
then they have made rapid progress,
and the result promises to be sue
cess from every point of view. The
trails will first be opened and then
kent free of SDrouts by the goats Sav.
ing the government considerable labor
in cutting them out by hand. as has
been done heretofore, while the brushy
forage which otherwise would have
been wasted will support 5000 goats
very comfortably.

One of the picturesque sights recall

Of the New York cavalry redsI riding
pellmell down the main street was aft

the men passed the town hall they set
up a cheer. for there stood statue,
surrounded by lawn. Of soldier
mounted high on granite pedestal.
Underneath the soldiers form. which
was shown with musket in hand. was
this legend:
ITO the Defenders of Our Country"
Right beside it stood beautiful Wo-
man dressed all in blue. holding bou-
ouet of blue flowers in her hand. while
she had just finished the task of strew-
ing other blue flowers about the foot
OF the statue. The cavalryinen hesi-
tatedl moment to cheer. one of them
cried out. "Oh. you bluey.!' and then
they all put spurs to their horses to
overhaul the retreating blues before
they could find safety In the main
body. from which they had sailed

PRAISE FOR TAFT's GOLF.
Ralph CrackneII Says the President Is
Typical American Player.

After watching President Taft's sec
ond assault the other day on the deep
golf trenches aud high ramp;rts of the
Myopia Hunt club at Hamilton. Mass.
whose links are acknowledged to be
the standard in the United States
Ralph CracknelI. one of the leading
golf critics in America, says that even
in his golf the president can be moth
ing except American. His strokes are
the national ones that the national
game makes second nature to all golf
ers who have played baseball, says
the critic "To expect the president to
come through with his stroke and fin
isb with the club high in the air, with
the wrists taut. is to forget that Scot
lands bonnie swing cannot be grated
on to an anatomy which was nodded
by the short swing of the baseball bat
president Taft's real game is base
ball Style is dignity and dignity is
style. and President Taft never does
the things on the links that make so
many look ridiculous. One thing 1t is
quite apparent he has mastered-that
is, to keep the head still when making
shot President Taft stands very
straight as he makes his shots. His
club does not go back so very far. but
be goes right through the ball, and If
he cared anything about frills he could
finish in the approved style. But, hav-
ing gone through the ball. he closes
the discussion and gives no final pose
president Taft never gets tired. He
was round the Myopia links in less
than an hour and half That's good
going The president can keep his
place on any green in the world. how
ever expert the golfers. That can be
banked upon. He moves forward at g
rapid. swinging gait and seems to en-
JOY every step Of the way"

That old, familiar bill

Which lent US Joy and strength
Upon church social nights
And lent its lissoin length

But it has battled debt
And driven out dull care.
Full many times and oft

And with earesses soft
It has been mine to spend.
My heartstrings round it cling.

Looked Like an English Butler.
There is an epilogue to the story of
the whiskers of King Alfonso of Spain,
which was recently cabled to New
York from London. His majesty when
he arrived at San Sebastian from Mad
rid was wearing side wbiskers and had
had his hair cut very short.
The king thought that this change
gave him the appearance of an ad-
miral of the British navy, but Queen
Victoria Eugenia quickly remarked
that he looked more like an English
butler and urged him to shave the
whiskers off. This his majesty did,
for when he returned to Madrid he
was whiskerless once more and looked
younger than ever.

Know What a Want Ad Is.

It's a mistake to think that want ads are only used by
people seeking employment-in locating lost artcles-in
renting houses and flats. These are but a few of their uses.
Read Bee Want Ads every day as thousands are now
doing-know what they mean. You will never neglect
them when you do. 1t would be impossible to tell all
the uses of Bee Want Ads-you learn new things every
day. For instance, unusual desires are quickly gratified
by Bee Want Ads. You may be the roommate some
congenial person wants. Some one may have the books
you want in exchange for the bicycle you don't care for.
You can invest money safely. You can buy a store with
an established trade. You can obtain information of a
personal nature. You see, Omaha people realize the i'm
portance of Bee Want Ads. It's a place where all meet
for the good of all. Considering the few minutes it
takes to carefully read them, there should be no reason
for not reading Bee Want Ads every day.
