A STRIKING CONTRAST.



When a senator is elected in the
United States he sends his creden-
tials on in advance. They are pre-
sented by his colleague, read FROM
the desk aud filed in the secretary's
Office unless some objection is
raised, when they are sent to the
committee on privileges and cleo
tons for examination. When a SEN
ator elect appears he steps quietly
up to the clerks desk, escorted BY
his colleague, takes an oath to sup
port the constitution of the United
States and is then led to a desk on
the outer row, which his colleague
has selected for him, where he re-
ceives the congratulations of his
friends and introductions to the
senators who care to make his ac-
quaintanee. He looks as wise as
may be and waits for adjournment.

day there was a village sensation in
which / was called upon to adjudi-
cate for the farmers assembled In
the parlor of the only village inn,"
writes the London correspondent of
Town and Country. "0ne of their
number had shot a fox which had
prowled about among the fowls for
so many nights that fowl keeping
was becoming q risky business.
'aThe ordinary farmer does not
mind losing an occasional hen, but
reynard is a greedy beast and kills
for the mere pleasure of the thing,
and the hunt does not always pay
up promptly. So here was a fine
point in sporting etiquette to be
settled. The farmer had shot a fox.
He did not deny it. In fact, he pre-
ferred to throw out his chest with
pride, as if in defiance of all the un-
written laws of British sport.
'Now, custom from time imme-
mortal has decreed that the. fox
shall be as safe from gun and trap
as if he were sacred. He belongs to
the hounds and must be allowed to
roam through the covers and farm
yards at will, devouring what may
happen in his way. Custom, too,
demands that the hunt shall pay
the damages. The hunt generally
pays, though In innumerable cases
the secretary is well aware that he
is being swindled.
"But this particular farmer said
he had hunted for many years him
self and had never made claim for
lost hens. A year or two ago, how
ever, a fox had paid a nocturnal
visit to his fowl yard and had played
havoc with the feathered denizens.
\ night or two after it happened
again. A third time the fox came
around and made a most deplorable
mess of a lot of fine Wyandottes
and some expensive Buff Orping-
tons.
"Then the farmer wrote to the
hunt secretary and asked for dam
ages. The reply was that the claim
would be attended to shortly. and
at Christmas the settlement came
in the form Of-a ham. Thereupon
the farmer declared war on all foxes
and killed them ruthlessly. And
this was the point which puzzled the
farmers on Saturday night.
"Jim Crawford shot a fox last
year. said one of the men, 'and no
good has come to him since. 1t
amt lucky and it amt sportsman
like. Let 'em kill your hens. That's
what they are there for, and if one
hunt secretary is mean there are
hundred who are generous
"There you have it. Sport is
sport and its rules are adamant. 1t
must, however, be put to the credit
of British hunt clubs that they
spend millions of pounds a year in
England. Wales and Ireland for the
upkeep of the sport.
Think of the hunters that are
bred and sold annually, the packs
Of hounds. the huntsmen, the stable
people, the dozens of hangers on
who make living out of it! With
out the hounds certain districts of
England would be depopulated.
Leiccstershire and the midland
counties would be almost impOver-
ished if law were suddenly put in
force to make an end to the rich
mans pastime. Country houses in
nonhunting districts NAV be had al
most for the price of a cottage in
Leicestershire. whereas in the
Quorn and Pytchley country a coun-
try house Is as expensive, if not
more so, than a London mansion.
Instead of diminishing, hunting has
grown in popular favor"

A Los Angeles reporter tackled Epes Randolph about the railroad problems Hartman was supposed to be settling at the conference of "magnates" in Pasadena. This is what he extorted from Randolph:
 Why, damn it, man, Hartman s hardest problem is to get a minutes peace from the dear public. They wake him from his sleep, intercept his meals, block-signal his walk, flag his automobile, and turn the internal headlight of the camera on him at every turn.

THE SOUL OF A FINANclER
John Muir's Analysis of the Nature
 of the Wizard of Wall Street.

John Muir. mountaiueer and natur. alist. has known Harriman from boy. hood, and he asserts that the man who is pictured as cOld.blooded thinking machine of almost satanic precision has heart and con science.
 People may not know it." says Muir but he loves the flowers anI the trees. He loves nature and hu. man nature have been with him among the glaciers of Alaska oh the waters of Pelican Bay, and in the privacy of his own family. He is just a plain, great hearted man, ell dowed with wonderful brain that unceasingly. drives him. It seems tJ me at times that his brain and his nature are independent. Naturally hc loves the quiet of home and the peace and quiet of secluded life, but his mental energy drives him to the great responsibility which he never consciously sought"
 What Is the secret of his power?' was asked
 He has an acute conscience and abides by it. This has given him the confidence of men. The scope of his power is wide because he is able to look upon the reaches of this conti nent in much the same way that a shrewd farmer looks upon his acres. MT. Hartman knows the needs of the country before him, seeing the spots where the corn grows highest, where mineral is hidden and where the flow CT of the future may flourish. MT. liar riinan once told me that he had al- ways been lucky, and that his neigh bors got into the habit of bringing their money to him to invest, and that before he realized it, he was handling sums that almost frightened him. But such great success as hiA is not mere luck, it is the result of genius"

Charges of Fraud Made During Hear

ing Of Contested Land Case.
 Hearing in the land contest case of Fred c. Hess, of Brawley, against Sarah Starkson, has been concluded in the Land Office at Los Angeles, but no decision has been given.
 A special agent for the government was present during the hearing and it was intimated that a Federal pros ecution for fraud may grow out of the testimony introduced. A number of witnesses stated that Anthony Mur- phy had secured government land in fraudulent manner and swindled them in other transactions.
 Gen. Prescott endeavored to ascer- tain his whereabouts, but no one pres ent seemed to know. A copy of tes- timony token in the case of the Peo- pie vs. Murphy was introduced in evi- dence. The case was heard last year before Judge Cole of the Super, for Court of Imperial County.
 It was charged that Murphy offered to pay Mrs. Starckson $10O for mak. ing desert land entry in the Imper- ial Valley ana that he had made ar arrangements to sell his interest to Hess The deal was never consum- mated, although Mrs. Starckson ia said to have signed an assignment to Hess in the office of Noleman & Smyser land lawyers.
 Learning of the alleged fraud in the manner in which Murphy acquired interest in the land, Hess refused to continue negotiations, but brought a contest in the land office in order to exercise preference rights if he wins the case

Prof. H. A. Howell, of Havana, Cuba, Recommends Chamberlain's
 Cough Remedy.

SOu9U hSWSuy'
 As long ago as I can remember my mother was faithful user and friend of Chamberlain Cough Remedy, but never in my life have l realized its true value until now" writes Prof. H. A. Howell, of Howell's American School, Havana, Cuba "On the night of February 3rd our baby was taken sick with very severe cold; the next day was worse and the following night his condition was desperate. He could not lie down and it was necessary to have him in the arms every moment. Even then his breathing was difficult. I did not think he would live until morning. At last I thought of my mothers remedy, Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, which we gave, and 1t afford ed prompt relief, and now three days later, he has fully recovered. Under the circumstances 1 would not hesi- tate a moment in saying that Cham berlain's Cough Remedy, and that only, saved the life of our dear little boy" For sale by Dunaway & Lowe, Drug gists.

 "Just Travelling"
 A Los Angeles Times man inter viewed Hartman at Riverside. with this result:
 It is impossible to approach the task of interviewing a man like liar riman without dramatizng him in your own mind beforehand
 You perhaps think of him as a savage and nervous You think of him as cutting oT the presidential head of railroad system every time the train goes over a bump. You imagine him staring out at some town with dissatisfaction and tossing a postal card overheard, instructing the finder to fire the mayor You fancy him gory with massacred boards of directors.
 But you never could imagine such a one as Hartman as being one of the most terrific fighting men in the history of this country.
 A few centuries ago Hartman would have been a terrible fighting baron or a Napoleon, wrecking the geography of Europe. But historical figures have gone out of fashion and men go to Wall street and not to vars of conquest
 And there. on Wall street, he has become so powerful giant that, as Sam Blythe says, it would start q na- tonal panic if the Hartman barn burned down, or he shaved off his goatee.
 A Tiny, Gentle "Giant."
 The giant" is little, tiny man with slightly stopped, thin shoulders. His clothes are plain to the point Of shabbiness. He walks painfully, something like a cavalryman, unused to being afoot.
 Everything about his physique is attenuated, almost pitiful but his face has something in 1t that tells of power
 Of all the public men 1 have met none has seemed more courteous, sim pie spoken and gentle. Yet I have not seen any other of whom all men seemed to me so iRstinctiyely afraid.
 Men on the Reception Committee that greeted him were white and III at ease. There is sort of tragic lone Illness about this man, who is truly great and who has risen by innate power
 The big railroad men with him, al though knowing nothing from him but kindness and courtesy seemed to dread hfs>iispleasure
 Perhaps tSis dread comes from the knowledge of his almost appalling business victories. great railroad com binations writhing in his grip like the toy snakes of children railroad trusts going down before his battering blows.
 Perhaps it is from the almost mys- terious quality Of his face. His large brown eyes are inscrutable and al- most expressioniess. like poker players. His voice is absolutely even
