PEDESTRIAN LANDS
IN THE WORKHOUSE
Drank to Drown Sorrow
Over Death of His
{ Dog Mutt"

Unaccompanied by his dog Mutt" "
his face creased and wrinkled and his
clothes ragged and torn, Samuel w.
Shockey, the latest aspirant for coast
forecast pedestrian honors, appeared be-
fore Judge Pugh in the District branch
of the Police Court this morning TO an
swer a charge of having been drunk
and disorderly on the night of Tuesday
last.
We'll what have you got to say for
yourself" inquired the court. Il hear
that you are striving for record for
walking from New York to San Fran
cisco, and you know as we'll as | do
that this is no way to go about II. AL
cohol and tramping don't go well to-
gether-though alcohol and tramps
usually do"
well, jedge, twas jes' this away"
commenced the old fellow. his hands
twitching and his head shaking as he
commenced his tale of cruelty of the
Secret Service men who would not let
Mutt accompany him into the White
House to shake hands with the Presi-
dent On New Years Day.
That's what killed the dawg, sub;
deed 1t did. He jes' natchully pined
away an died, he did, an felt so bad
about it that I jes natchuIly went out
an got something to drown my sorrows.
If was good enough to go in an shake
hans with the President, l guess Mutt
wouldn't hurt him; but they tSo1 Wo4idp ht I
wouldn't eat, and the mex night he died.
That's the homes fact.
II went out to get something to make
me forget 1 ever had a dawg. i felt
that bad, and the first thing that l
knowed l was lyin' in the hospital, with
my head all bandaged up and my mouth
feeling like it was a kettle on hot
stove"
According to the story of the officer
who found Shockey on Pennsylvania
avenue on Tuesday night, his grief for
Mutt must have been very healthy, for
it took a large amount of liquir refresh
ment to drown it and, from all reports,
it's died hard.
Shockey. seeing that the judge had
heard of his wager to walk across the
continent in 1O5, days. did not mention
this portion of the story, but Judge
Pugh thought that little time in the
work house would not do the would-be
pedestrian any harm, and he inflicted
a sentence of 800 or four months, and
Shockey went down to do little tramp
ing for the benefit of the District, aud
his walls at the loss of his wager
could be heard long after he had left
the room.

ASPLENDID LECTURE
Lecture on .'kindness'' is Delivered
by Rev. j. Lawrence O. Conner
at Brands Opera House.
Discourse, Filled With Excellent Ad-
Vice, Holds Audience in Rapt
Attention Throughout.

Rev. J. Lawrence O'Connor of Chi
cago delivered lecture on "Kind-
ness" at Brands opera house on
Sunday evening and those who at
tended were we'll rewarded for so
doing. The manner in which the
learned divine handled his subject
showed that he had given much time
and study to it's preparation-he was
perfectly familiar with it's various
phases. Rev. O'Connor is a fluent
talker and there is logic in every word
he utters. Many people would
imagine kindness" to be dry sub
ject, but as expounded by Father
O'Connor it was interesting to high
degree. And not alone that-the
sound advice which the lecture con-
tanned was of incalculable value.
Those who fail to heed those words of
wisdom are, as an old friend of ours
would say, tunkleheads.
The IN o n would very much like
to publish the lecture-which is copy
righted in full, but at this time it
finds it impossible. However, we give
few quotations from the discourse
which will n o doubt prove of interest:
"Kindness is a virtue which is alb
solutely necessary to the happiness OF
the human family and yet it is little
practiced in the world today.
"What is kindness? Kindness may
be defined in general as certain
disposition of the soul inclining US to
think, speak and do good to others in
order that they may be happy.
kindness and charity are one and
the same virtue. Since, then, charity
and kindness are one, it is the most
excellent of virtues.
And now as to the practice OF
kindness. We may think the kind
word, and we should. Let US think
the kind thought always, but let US go
further and say the kind word. The
human heart longs for sympathy and,
be man king or a peasant, the
day has never passed when there was
not longing in his heart for the
sympathy of his fellow man. And it
is so easy to say, so easy to give; it
is so prolific of good, such a power
for happiness.
The lecturer urged every one to be
kind-husbands, wives, fathers,
mothers, and children-that the world
may be better.
Previous to the lecture Miss Lola
Scheen played a very pretty overture
on the piano.

BIG MONEY FOR REDS|
Court of Claims Awards Chippewa In.
dams $764,21o for Mile Laos
Reservation Timber.
Former Assistant Attorney General
Edgerton of St. Paul Was Chief
Counsel for Indians.

Washington, May 29.-The court of
claims today awarded the Chippewa
Indians of Minnesota the sum of
1854, 2l0 in the case of the Mile Laos
band of Chippewa Indians in Mime
sofa against the United States, for
timber which was cut on the Mile
Laos reservation from 1898 to about
1900.
While the case was brought and sus-
tanned by the Mile Laos band, some
three or four hundred in number,
under the rulings of court the sum
awarded will be distributed among
about 10000 Chippewa Indians in
Minnesota.
The attorneys in the case are
Chauncey E. Richardson, formerly of
Duluth and now OF Washington: and
George B. Edgerton of St. Paul and
others, and was filed in May, 1909, the
suit was against the United States for
s3,O00,000 for the taking of the Mile
Laos reservation and despoiling of it's
timber.
The attorneys commended, and the
court of claims sustains this conten-
ton, that the government allowed this
timber land to be stripped without
any authority of law, and it was not
until it had all been disposed of, with
the exception of 100 acres, that con-
gress attempted to legalize the action
Of the department. of the interior.
This tract, an area of about $1,000
acres. was considered one of the finest
! stands of pine ever known in the
United States. The decision was
based upon legal right announced
by the court for the first time, which
attaches only to Indians, under which
the right of sufrance is held to be as
strong title as fee simple patent,
or deed, to white man. The suf-
franc in this case referred to by the
counH Fsas that the Indians under a
treaty were to be allowed to remain
on the reservation so long as they did
not modest the whites.
The case will be appealed to the su-
preme court by the government, but it
is altogether pro bable that the find
iugs of the court of claims will be sus-
tanned.

great new world, lying fallow through
countless ages, seemed reserved,
under Providence, for new advance.
It was to be peopled by the sturdiest,
strongest and best of the old. The
magnificent wilderness of the West in
vited no weakling to sail the unknown
seas. Only the fttest might survive.
It was time when civil and religious
freedom were asserting their demands.
The new world offered home to the
oppressed of the old. And here,
again, it was not the weak, the SER
vile or the sp1ritless to whom the ap-
peal was made. It was the strong,
aggressive, unconquerable, with un-
bending back and knee. who heard
and answered this call to the wild.
Strong men and women were our par
entage. We were planted here by the
truly great, in body, mind and char
acter. Here was to be the birthplace
of that great new nation, conceived in
liberty and dedicated to the equality
of men.
How passing strange that such a
people, the heirs of all the ages,
blessed with such birthright,
should wage the fercest war of his
tory! How strange the cause of such
war! Congress resolved, in effect,
that the war was waged to preserve
the union as it was, with the dignity,
equality and rights of the states un-
impaired. But mere resolutions, at
such time, are vain; they are as
tinkling cymbals and as sounding
brass. 1t soon became apparent that
such purpose could not be main
tained: for slavery could not be kept
out Of the contest; it was, at bottom,
the cause of it. Had there been no
slavery, the differences, ever widen
ing, strengthening and increasing in
bitterness, would not have arisen:
there would probably have been no
secession and no war;
The birth, growth and development
of our nation are among the marvels
of history. The dream proceeds with
feverish rapidity. The period seems
veritable awakening of the world.
The lamp of intelligence burns high.
It is time of great discovery and in.
vention. Iron and steel are put to
new and ever increasing uses. Me.
chanical devices, the machines and
engines of industry, seem almost en-
[dowed with human thought and brain.
They are driven by natural forces
hitherto unknown. Material prosper.
ity advances by leaps and bounds.
Such growth and development and
prosperity present many new and
perplexing problems. The labor
problem, like the poor, we have al.
ways with US. From the beginning,
one of the most serious problems OF
the colonists was the lack of labor.
There was an enormous amount OF
work to be done and the laborers we're
few. Almost at once there grew up a
system of enforced white labor.

RAMEsEs, A GREAT EGYPTIAN
Was InordInateIy vaIn and Ostenta- tIous, but Courageous and
 Determined Fighter.

Rameses' superb statue in Turin Is faithful portrait, showing us at least the outward man as he was. In per son he was tall and handsome, with features of dreamy and almost effem- mate beauty, in no wise suggestive of the manly traits which he certainly possessed. For the incident at Ka- desh showed him unquestionably a man of fine courage with ability to rise to a supreme crisis; while the indomitable spirit evident there Is again exhibited in the tenacity with which he pushed the war against the great Hittite Empire and carried his conquests, even If not lasting, far in- to northern Syria. After his nearly fifteen years of campaigning, in which he more than redeemed the almost fatal blunder at Kadesh, he was quite ready to enjoy the we'll earned peace. He was inordinate1y vain and made far more ostentatious display of his wars on his monuments than was ever made by Thutmose.
 With his name perpetuated in vast buildings distributed at all points along the Nile from the marshes of | the northern Delta to the Fourth Cat
 aract, Rameses lived on in magnif.
 cence even surpassing that of Amen hotep III. His was the sunset glory of the venerable line which he repre-
 sented. -Breadsted's "A History of Egypt

Real Jekyll and Hyde.

Honest by day and burglar by night was James Coonbs, man of the Jekyll and Hyde type, who, at South ampton pleaded guilty to several charges of burglary and one of unlaw- fully wounding. Some hundreds of keys were found in the prisoners house. and so numerous were the sto- len articles they had to be removed in van. Coombs used to preach at Methodist chapels and Salvation Army meetings in the district. By day he worked on the docks and at night burgled, chiefly unoccupied houses. In defense 1t was urged that the prison er's acts amounted to monomania on his part, and that he led two lives, one respectable and the other criminal. The judge said the prisoner was a danger to society, and might have done we'll if he had applied his in- genuity to better directions. A sen- tence of three years penal servitude was passed.
