 He knows the "yegg' the criminal tramp, who will not work, who rides on the bumper of railroad car, who begs and steals, and who has a pat ter and signmanual of his own; who carries a complete set of burglar tools, and will kill and destroy. But he knows the other tramp-the man who wants to work, but can't get any thing to do, and who wanders over the length and breadth of the land sink ing lower and lower. It is this class in which he takes chief interest. He insists that they are honest men, lack ing only a chance to prove their worth, and that the failure of the nation to save them is a tremendous economic waste. Their integral value, he be- lieves, would pay the Nation for a concerted effort at their redemption. Brown says they are honest and that they constitute 90 per cent. of the tramps of America.

 The two gamblers. appealed to the police claiming that the count was trying to blackmail them, by threat ening to appear against them as a witness on their trial unless they gave him money to stay away. The gam blers had an appointment to meet the Count at Fourteenth street and Fourth Avenue The detectives followed them there, and, after they had met the Count, saw one of the gamblers give him a $2O bill. Then they arrested him. The bill had been marked.
 The alleged gamblers are jubilant as a result of the Counts arrest. He is the man who furnished evidence on which Deputy Commissioner Flynn made seven of his raids, and he is one of the chief witnesses against the men arrested as result of those raids.

LAW think it aw cold deal jes SO, aw mighty cold deal" said Jack John- son, the heavyweight black champion of the world when the Supreme Court this week handed down a decision awarding s1,000 damages to Cartaeno Sciarrino, an Italian sculptor, who made a bust of the negro on his order some time ago. When the master piece was finished Johnson took ex- ception to some of its features and refused to pay, although he had ap- proved of it up to the time the sculp. tor had begun the finishing touches on 1t. The Italian insisted that he had carried out the instructions of the pugilist but Johnson he says side stepped when it came to paying for it. The colored Hercules says he don't want the bust and that if he has to pay for it he will offer it to the city for an ornament to Central Park. To- date he has not made good the judg- ment and the sculptor is preparing to attach the salary of the boxer the first time he shows in New York Theatre.

The Vanderbilt family is said to feel keenly the fact that Consuela Van derbilt, now the Duchess of Marlbor- borough will be unable to attend the coronation of King George next month because she is a divorcee. This feel- ing of chagrin is accentuated by the fact that the Gould family, will be represented there by Lady Decies CVivien Gould) and the Goelets by Lady Roxmurghe May GoeleD. When the late King Edward was crowned, the Duchess of Marlborough out-top- ped all the American peeresses in rank and the Vanderbilts were in high feather While they have noth- ing to say publicly on the subject. they do not hesitate to express their disapproval of the embargo placed by Kin~ George and Queen Mary on di
 vorcees. especially on innocent parties to such actions. They do not agree with the old fashioned idea of the English sovereign that a wife should reconcile herself to the infidelities of her husband and endeavor by moral suasion to keep him on the domestic chalkline, however firmly he is dis posed to stray into strange and for bidden pastures. A self respecting woman they think must divorce an incorrigible husband. even if it is against public policy and old fash toned theories of what is right for a wife to do, who has children. The

BURNING UP
SHEEP WAGONS

According to reports reaching
Belle Fourche from the Powder
river country in Montana, the
various sheep and cattle men are
not getting along as we'll as they
might. During the past month
three sheep wagons have been
burned, and in other instances
sheep men have been compelled
to move their herds off the range
claimed by other stockmen. Of
the wagons burned one belonged
to Fred W. Rue, postmaster at
Graham, Mont, one belonged to
Ellitner & Mccoy, who live near
Moorhead, and one to Cobb and
Hardy, who also live near Moor
head.
As far as can be learned the
burning of wagons is not the re-
suit of a difference between the
sheep and cattle men, but is the
outgrowth Of the range. being
taken up in certain portions of
the country, neccessitating the
stock owners removing their
herds. The stockmen are driv-
ing their stock into that locality.
This has cramped the range, with
the result that there is some diff.
erence Of opinion as towho really
! is entitled to the range. So far
as we are able to learn the matter
has not been taken into the
courts, but should the depreda'
tons continue some trouble of 3
legal nature is liable to be tnt
final result, - Belle Fcurche Bee.
