WIRES CUT OFF
IN FIGHT ON
BUCKETSH0PS

New York, July 8.-The Western
Union Telegraph company yesterday
discontinued wires to brokerage of.
fees In many important cities, eight In
New York. Strictest secrecy was pre-
served by the company as to the pur-
pose of disseminating the service to
those brokers, but it was learned the
move was part Of a campaign the tel
egraph officials have begun to deprive
bucketshops throughout the country
Of their chief means Of existence.
In Utica, N. Y the wires to three
firms were cut out. In Auburn two
wires were discontinued. Other cities
and towns in this state In which bro
kers' wires were cut off are Ithaca,
Syracuse, Cortland, G%lovefsville. Rome
and WATERFOWL. From Ptttsburg and
Johnstown, Pa, came the news that
wires In two brokerage offices in each
of those cities were cut of. Wires
were reported cut off In other cities,
but 1t was supposed the reason for the
dtscontinuance Of the service was that
charges were in arrears.

PRES. TAFT
WITHDRAWS
COAL LANDS

Beverly, Mass, July .s.-Continuing
his policy of practical conservation,
President Taft signed orders with
drawing 35,078,1e4 acres of coal lands
from the public domain In North and
South Dakota, Washington, Utah, Col
orado and Arizona.
By this ACTION vast acres of fuel Of
almost incalculable value have been
preserved from spoliation and exploit
alton by spectators.
OF the total Withdrawals 20, sos, 469
acres are new, while 14,874,69 acres
are covered in combinations and rati-
lcations under the new law, approved
June Is, Of Withdrawals made In the
,ast four years by Presidents Roose-
Selt and Taft.
North and South Dakota are the two
states most affected by the new with
drawals. From the public domain In
North Dakota the president has with
drawn from settlement 17,S28,182
acres of land believed to contain work
able coal. In South Dakota the amount
withdrawn Is 2,s7O,2S7 acres.

Beating OF a Dog.
II a dog springs for a man the latter
should guard his face with his arm

caught a vigorous squeeze will make
the animal howl for mercy and retire

from it. This noble creature, who be-
longed to the Humane society, who
would have wept at the sight of a cat
in pain, and who shuddered at the
mere thought of vivisection, was highly
entertained and amused at the specta-
Gle of the other woman's helpless an
guish at losing the dearest thing in
life to her, and her frantic and futile
efforts to hold on to a love that was
slipping from her feeble grasp.
Worse still is the case of the woman
who robs another woman of her hus-
band.
Where the "Dead Line" Comes.
AS long as a man is unmarried he is,
to a certain extent, wild game at which
any woman may aim a gun without,
perhaps doing too much damage to
the law that governs mine and thine;
but when a man is married he becomes
private property. His wife has put
her brand upon him and ne belongs to
the home ranch exclusively. Under
no possible circumstances has woman
any Justification in breaking into the
domestic corral and trying to either
steal or tole him out
Every woman who lures a married
man to her side, or who lets him stay
there, even if he comes of his own
volition, knows that she is inflicting
torture as terrible was ever de-
vised by the Inquisition upon another
woman, and yet it is q common thing
to hear sweet faced. innocent-looking
ladies boast of their fascination for
married men. They commit the most
horrible of crimes, with an air of per-
feet virtue and that speaks of utter
peace within their own souls.
She WOuld Feel Insulted.
If you should suggest to one of these
women that she should go out and adj
woman. stab her children and set fire
to her house, the lady would be right
eously indignant and ask you what you
meant ny so insulting her.
/ Then she would turn up her eyes
/ to heaven and thank God that she was
/ a member of the church, a worker in
I philanthropy and a supporter of every
good cause.
Yet she deliberately engaged in the
/ filtration with the married man that
broke his wife's heart, that wrecked a
/ home, that led to divorce, that sent
little children out into the world faith
erless and with a stained name 1t
would have been kinder to have COM
mitted the first crime rather than the
last.
/ But how a gentle, tender-hearted
woman can steal another woman's hus-
bands love andSbreak up home with
out reinorse. and yet could not rob her
of pocket handkerchief, or Stay. fly
/ without feeling herself dyed with guilt.
reminds one of the peculiarities of the
! feminine conscience that, as lord Dun
dreary used to say, is "one OF the
things that no fellah can find out"

afford to let it go on? Her happiness.
her whole future lay in the balance.
Why should she not fight for it?
Centuries of repression. Of physical
weakness have left women with but one
effectual weapon-trickery- And why
should she not use it? Why must she
sit quietly by and let her chance for
happiness, for wifehood and mother
hood pass away?
He loved her-that she knew. But
man-like he had lost some OF the desire
for possession when he felt that pos
session was always within his reach
The next morning when the messen-
ger boy came for his money he receiv-
ed with it instructions to continue the
telephone calls for another week That
sarac morning Miss Norman wrote two
4notes. one TO leading florist. giving
an order for a large bunch OF viOiets
/ to be left at her apartment every morn
ing. the other to fashionable con-
fectioner ordering box OF his best
chocolates TO be delivered twice a week.
Richard Becomes Jealous.
Every time Richard called now, the
telephone rang with invitations for
drives. luncheon, dinner or the theater.
and there were always fresh violets
and a box Of bonbons on the library
table.
One afternoon the maid told him that
Miss Norman had gone for drive. and
he went away with jealous anger
growing in his heart
And one evening she came down in
a long opera cloak.
"Oh, Richard. I'm sorry I didn't
know you were coming and have
theater engagement"
I usually come Wednesday even
DO you? oh. I believe you do. but
1 forgot all about it You see, I'm go
ing out more this season. so perhaps
you had better make positive engage
ments, OR you may not find me in
so it seems" bitterly II should
ike to call tomorrow evening il you
can spare the time"
She felt a thrill of triumph at the
note of resentment and bitterness in
his voice.
Tomorrow evening? Oh, I really am
sorry, but 1 have an engagement to-
morrow. But Saturday. don't think
1 have anything for Saturday"
Very well; will call Saturday
When he had gone she went sadly
back into her dressing room, took Off
her evening gown, slipped into a loose
negligee and then threw herself on the
J bed
The Boy Never knew.
"Oh, Richard, Richardr' she sobbed.
T, 1t was heroic treatment but she felt
that it was the only way.
Three weeks later 8 small messenger
boy might. have been seen opening
very dainty package with a pair OF
very grimy hands. 1t was a box OF
bonbons, with a new ten dollar bill on
top.
Ger And then a long drawn whis-
| tie. That was all the expression he al
lowed his feelings
There was no name-nothing to show
where the package came from. Per-
/ haps if he had read the marriage an
nouncements in the social column OF
/ that mornings paper he might have
| guessed. But messenger boys are not
/ given to the study OF the social column:
| their interest does not extend beyond
| the sporting page.
So he never knew.

Daily Short Story

I feigned not to understand him and
did not answer
Are you deaf" he screamed, 'or are
you a id French cur?"
l forced myself not to reply to this
last insult and remained silent.
He then decided to address me in my
own language, which was rather diff
cult to him.

not allow foreigner to spy on US and
laugh at us. 1 want to teach impudent
louis like you n wholesome lesson and
show you that we are the masters here.
I will have you taken to the nearest
police station by four of our men,"

sarcastically:

to give you my name. Jean Rosarieuiles

same rank in the French cavalry as you
hold in yours. Let me add that If a
similar accident in my regiment oc-
CURED and 1 had been annoyed by dis
covering German officer ENJOYING the

temper but would calmly have chal-
lenged him for his untimely mirth.''
Fortunately the man was not coarse
Prussian. The lesson took effect imme-
diately: He Strengthened himself up,
saluted stiffly and mastered himself.
We exchanged cards.
Pourparlers were held and seconds
were chosen. Two fellow officers acted
for count Ludwig Won Sonnenthal; a
young doctor and a pensioned French
colonel who had lost an arm at Grave
lotte for me.
The duel took place at dawn the next
day in a secluded garden in a suburb
cannot tell you how happy 1 felt when
our swords crossed. 1 had already risk
ed my skin in other encounters over
mere trifles, but this time I felt diff
ferent being; it was as if I represented
France, and as If this combat was the
preludium of new battles between our
hostile races, as If the trocolors and
the black and white standard were
about to try their strength once more.
I saw in the captains cold steely
eyes that he was inspired by the same
feeling of deadly hatred.
We fought furiousIy but growing
more and more excited my adversary
exposed himself for a fraction of a
second and my saber cut his shoulder
to the bone. His arm fell down limp.
the blood gushed from the gaping
wound and he fell back into the arms
of his seconds.
And while the surgeons busted them
embraced me and whispered into my
ear:

HHE most curious of all of the phe-
nomena exhibited by woman's
conscience however, is shown in
the way a woman will rob another
woman of the affections OF her hus-
band or sweetheart.
Practically all women are love pi-
rates, and never law of God or
man rules north" of the heart line
with them.
This is the more remarkable because
women place an generalization on af-
lection. Love isn't, to them, frill on
the petticoat of life, as it is to men,
It's the whole garment. 1t isn't a lux
ury without which one can do very
comfortably. thank you, if one has to-.
1t is an absolute necessity, without
which one hungers and fhirsts, and
shivers with the cold.
Yet the woman who wouldn't rob her
sister woman of a hairpin will steal
from her the love that is the very jewel
of her existence.
And half the time she is a lady bur-
glar. who burgles for the mere excite
ment of the thing. and doesn't want
the heart that she purloins.
"An is fair in love and war" says
the unethical old proverb, and as long
as a woman is unmarried, some jus
LITIGATION can be offered fnr her at
tempting to bring down with me- DOW
and spc@r any man that she fancies,
who is outside of the matrimonial fold
She may know that she is poaching
on some other woman's preserves; but
she can, at least salve her conscience
with the thought that the man, who
can so easily be lured into putting his
head in another womans' halter, was
merely held by a pack thread that he
was certain to have broken sooner or
lated, anyway.
Bull Fight Human to 1t.
Compared with stealing from some
helpless young girl the love that was
her one treasure, robbing bank is a
virtuous employment, and a bull fight
a humane sport; yet we see the thing
continually done by young women who
higher life, and who are charter men,
bers of the Socity for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals.
Who has not seen some beautiful,
gay, city girl come into a country COM
munity for a few months in the sum-
mer and turn all of the rural SWANS
heads and break up half a dozen love
affairs? Who has not seen some clever
woman, skilled in all of the subtleties
of flattery and cajolerH, take away the
man on whom her heart was set from
some plain, dull wor1.un whose only
talent was a talent for loving?
And did the woman who was thus
torturing another woman suffer ag-
onies of remorse? Did her conscience
keep her awake at night whispering in
a still small voice that she was doing
fellow woman a deadly wrong? Far

strength to tear themselves loose from
their beloved country, even when 1T fell
into the hands of the hated enemy.
I had deliberately crossed the line
marked by the black and white sign
posts that surround the plain of Ban
Saint-Martin. 1 remembered the trag-
icaI DAYS of the siege when regiments
were camping here in the mud, dis
couraged, forced to remain inactive
against their will by their miserable
commanders, waiting in vain for the
command to try by supreme effort
to break through the human barrier,
which was drawn around them closer
and closer every month. 1 saw once
more the esplande and place royal with
their long dark lines of wagons trans
formed into ambulances, and the statue

reason, everything went to smash. The

bows who had lost their heads COM
pletely. who swayed in their saddles

mounts.
One of the captains discovered my
presence and my amused expression,
made a rush for me Immediately, but
did not bulge. He contracted his brows,
hit his teeth together and turned quite
ivid with fury. The points of his
blonde moustache quivered and his
steeIy blue eyes shot fire. He was
broadshouldered, high chested and his
expression was insolent. He wore the
blue tunic and uniform Of the Bavarian
dragons.
