HUGE RETURNS ON A SPEC
Romantic Tale of Great Profits
Pulled Out of a sulphur
Mine,

There was no consolation OF sense OF
victory for the late II. MoK. Twombley
of New York in the authoritative news
which came to him that a daring risk
which he took was likely to result in re-
turning to him a greater income from any
single Investment than any other which
he had received. For when Mr.. Twombley
was assured that from small outlay
great results had been secured, he was not
in mental or physical condition to care
greatly about the things of the world.
But there comes emi-authoritstive in

OMAHA LIKES OUTDOOR LIFE
This City Supports Some of Finest
Clubs in the Country.
SPORTS THE BIG FEATURE
six Well Kept Golf Courses Are in
Constant Use, with Numerous
Tennis Courts and Base
Hall Diamonds.

The cultivation OF the great and whole
some out OF doors Is modern tendency
that makes for happiness and health and
Omaha people have never been behind in
providing themselves with places for en-
joylng 1t. The country club idea, the belief
that a man needs something more than his
own front porch, even though that may be
spacious and comfortable, has taken
strong hold upon Omaha people, and as
result the city boasts collection of outing
cubs that are splendidly housed and sur
rounded by beautiful grounds, Several OF
the country clubs have been the show
places Of the city for years and II they
can ward off the encroachments OF the
growing residence sections they will become
more attractive as they grow older.
Everyone is interested in some sport
nowadays, every man and most women
have their sport hobbies, Men have found
that they can work better and think more
clearly II they take few hours off In a
day and spend them out OF doors on the
golf links or the tennis court, Women
have decided that strolling over the rolling
hills OF some Omaha golf club is a better
amusement and productive Of more lasting
enjoyment than playing bridge in stuffy
drawing rooms
Nowhere does the business man or the
society woman get a better chance to rest
than by looking upon peaceful, rural
scenery, lovely hills and woodland spaces,
or a better chance TO add a little con-
sideraton for beauty as an important
thing in life than by taking advantage Of
the country clubs.
An OF them are surrounded by varied and
splendidly kept up grounds and every one
OF them has its own particular features
of excellence, One has better trees than
another. trees that have stood In place
since Omaha was an infant, and its oldest
citizens were In swaddling clothes, trees
that have done duty for the settlers cabin
the farmers cottage. and now are just as
beautiful for the walks Of fashion and
fitvolity Another has a finer club house
another more beautiful hills.
From the hills that top the courses OF
Omaha golf clubs one may for mnei
across the fertile green Nebraska country
and the golf enthusiasts who dare get VI
in the morning may see the sun rising owe
the chimney pots OF the city and whel
they have finished their last round befor
dark can see it going down many mile
away IN the distant corn fields
Omaha has beautiful parks and beautiful
avenues, hut no less worthy Of praise an
cultivation as healthful upuft for citizen
ship and the love OF beauty and civic prid
are the country clubs.

Laws, Courts and schools.

The population is rapidly increasing. It
has more than doubled since the English
took hold, and it is being transformed from
savagery to civilization.
The laws have been established and
courts have been established. There Is
a good police force, and the British gov
eminent has a battalion of Sikhs, known
as the Malay states Guard, who keep ex-
cellent order. Schools have been started.
hospitals erected and public works Of var
tous kinds are we'll under way.
In the state of Perak more than 15O miles
OF canals and Irrigation bitches have been
dug, and at the close of last year in the
neighborhood of 5000 0 acres of rubber trees
had been planted. There are now some
thing like 2O,OO0,00 such trees on the var
ious farms, and tens OF thousands will be
set out this year. The forests are being
exploited, mines opened and the country
prospected for tin, silver and gold. From
one state alone as much as $50, 600. 900
worth of tin has been taken, and In all
something like 1900 ounces of gold are
mined every year. In addition they are
finding lead, iron and copper, as well as
mercury, blsmuth, silver and zinc. The
country is said to be very rich, but no
one knows yet what it contains. although
a rude sort of mining has been going on
for ages, The Malays are noted for their
work in the precious metals" and the
sultans Of the past had goldsmlths and
carvers of silver, ivory and wood. Some
of them demanded gold and silver trees
and flowers as a part of their annual
tribute, and the Malay spears and krises
'nlaid with gold have always been noted.

An Unseen Bounce,

a certain Episcopal clergyman in West
Philadelphia received a most inhospitabIe
reception the other night when he went 10
call on a member OF his vestry. The vestry
man In question was alone In the house. the
servants being out, when he heard a ring
at the bell. Going down stairs he found
an intoxicated negro, who demanded money
Tor a drink Highly incensed, the vestryman
went back upstairs. after ordering the
man away, but hardly had he seated him
self when the bell rang for a second time.
A second visit to the door found the same
negro back again, and the vestryman, thor
oughly aroused, seized the offender by the
shoulder and pushed his down tbe steps.
While all this was going on the clergy
man was walking down the street. and a
Tow minutes later had mounted the stems
or his v~estryman's house and rung "a,
bell. He stood with his back TO the doof.
when suddenly, TO his establishment, the
portal flew open. a man rushed out and
ne received a most painful kick, sending
MIN fiying down the slippery steps. IL

1t must be for ready money and in tho halls
open to all. The players are nearly all
miners. The men who own the gambling
houses aid in the suppression Of lotteries.
The opium curse is handled in about
the same way as the gambling. 1t is
farmed out to the highest bidder and he
alone has the right to deal in raw opium
and to make It into the chandu in which
1t is used for smoking. With the con-
sent Of the government he gives out
licenses for the sale Of this stuff and sells
it at the price fixed by his contract. A
chest of Indian opium costs about $3.50
and upward. When It is turned Into
chandu 1t is worth $500 and perhaps
$1,000. So, you see. there is a big profit
in the business. The selling Of liquors
is farmed out the same way, as is also
pawnbroking. 1t may be questionable
whether such things are creditable to a
Christian government. They seem a blot
on the British administration. which is
otherwise almost beyond criticism.

Federated states.

If one would see the race at Its best, he
should go to the peninsula and travel
through the British states. There are
other provinces belonging to Siam and
Jehore where the progress is by no means
SO great, but in the federated states he will
find own which have sprung up In the
Jungle and public buildings equal to those
OF Japan and India.
But first let me tell you what these
states are. II you will take your map Of
Asia and look at the Malay peninsula, you
will see that it begins on the equator and
runs 1000 miles or so northward, the upper
part belonging to Siam. About four or five
hundred miles from the straits these British
possessions begin. At the top is Perak, not
as big as New Jersey, and farther down
the coast, Selangor and Negri Sembilan,
which combined. are Of about the same
size as Perak. while east of them lies the
bis province of Pahang. which is almost as
large as Massachusetts and New Jersey
combined. The four states altogether nave
more than $4,000 square miles, or about 1900
more than West Virginia.
Each state is ruled by a native sultan
with a British official as resident adviser.
The sultan is merely a puppet and the
Britisher pulls the string. Under the sultan
are numerous native officials, the most OF
whom have English agents to help them,
the whole government being similar to
what the Dutch have in Java. The COM
mon people think they are ruled by Malays,
but the better classes know that the British
are the real power behind every office and
that John Bull is king.
These sultans live in great state. Their
uniforms are decorated with gold leaf. They
have goid-hilted swords. and when they
go about they have servants who carry
gorgeous umbrellas TO shield them from

President Taft has just reappointed
Franklin X. Lane for a full term on the

The seaman expostulated. He said a
bargain was a bargain, and as God had
saved his life he was bound TO fulfill his
promises. The pope insisted. He tried
to convince the seaman that the vow was
not binding. as it was too hard for a man
