osLERIsM DOWN AND OUT.

There is n human appeal of peculiar
interest and strength in the announce
ment that former Governor Frank S.
Black of New York. having within
sight the accumulation of a fortune
OF 81 900, 900. the goal he set out to
attain fourteen years ago when he left
Albany "broke.' will retire next year
from the active practice Of his pro-
fession. and begin. at so, the quiet life
of a farmer . 1t is an appeal to two
of the deepest rooted passions of man
kind. One of these is the acquisition
of wealth; the other is the inherent
love of the land, which comes down
to us through tho ages from our
nomadic ancestors. When a man of
Governor Blacks prominence thus
achieves an ambition so close TO the
hearts of his fellows the mere an
nouncement of his success prompts
every one, admittedly with a slight
touch of envy, to wish him good luck.
Fourteen years ago. when Cover
nor Black left his desk in the capitol
at Albany, it was reported that he
had spent the money which up to that
time he had accumulated in the prac-
tice of his profession and that he was
$4,000 in debt. That he should have
been able since then to repair his
shattered fortunes and be now in a
position to give IL pthe active duties
Of life with 100000 to his credit
and retire to the country to live n
more quiet and satisfying life filings the
lie in the face of every calamity howl
err of the land who would have our
young men believe hat the door of
opportunity has been shut in their
faces by the oppression Of modern
business. Governor Black was 45
years old when he began his legal
career anew. 1t is true that he was
we'll equipped for the battle both as
to knowledge and acquaintance: but
what he has done. every other man
of brains and energy can do.
Next year, when he will give up his
law practice in New York. Governor
Black will be 60 years of age. 1t
would be interesting to know what he
thinks Of DIR. Osler, If. indeed. he has
ever had time to worry about the the
Dry attributed to that scientist. Re-
firing to his farm to live with his fam
lily in peace and contentment, sur
rounded by all the loneliness of ma
ture. Governor Black will carry with
him the good wishes of his country
men. His is an example of which
might we'll be followed by other bust
ness and professional men who 9TH
erwise are destined to spend their
lives in the harness. It is a "back to
the land" argument potent with good
for all who are able to listen to it.

who is described at the British en-
basSy as not a wealthy man, but n
who "works for his living" spent $780,
900 in his investigation.
When the facts as reported to Mr..
Warner by the lawyer were present
OF diplomacy were placed in motion.
The British ambassador requested an
opening Of h case and the state de-
partment submitted the request to the
department Of Justice. Pardon Attor-
hey Finch. familiar with the details of
the previous investigation. went to
Wilmington. where he closely exam
murders were committed. He salts
; fled himself as to the explanations Of
fered by Adams and Sawyer and their
explanation Of howe one man armed
could murder five unarmed men like
rats in a trap. He found that the
galley in which the officers took refuge
after the captain had been murdered
that only. n man could emerge at
a time. thus preventing anything like a
concerted rush upon the murderer.
Mr.. Ffnch's examination and report
convinced Attorney General Wicker
sham, who Endorsed his recommends
ton that a pardon be granted. The
president in granting the pardon said
Iildl ~ seeitieu tHdI tue StEoH6 ploude
bilities are that Adams and Sawyer
sympathized with the hostility Of
Scott toward those whom he killed.
and that they probably committed acts
of mutiny. The president, however,
reached the opinion that they were
timorous and points out that it is diff
ticult to distinguish between the acts
they were compelled to perform under
fear Of SCOTS threats of violence and
that which they did do under an i'm
pulse of resistance to tyrannical treat
ment.
ut is difficult to suppose that if they
were brave and determined to save
their fellow shfpmates they might not
have prevented Scott from committing
the bloody murders of which he was
guilty, because it must have taken
him Il very considerable time to COM
nit them ALL" said the president in
his Endorsement upon the pardon pa
pers. 'I1e must have offered oppor-
%tunities for them to have interviewed
for the purpose of ovcrpowering
him." the president added in direct
ing the immediate pardon of both
men. The features of the ease COM
mented OH by the president prevented
him from expressing any sympathy
with the men in their long confine-
ment and brought from him the sug-
gestion that an earlier pardon might
not have been warranted.
Adams and Sawyer got out of Atlanta
at once. Upon money furnished by
Mr.. Warner they started for New
York. There Adams will enter the
employment of the lawyer employed
in his case by Mr.. Warner. Sawyer is
going back to his home in the West
Indies, a wiser but broken

copied it as a certainty that I was
going to be skinned outright.

copied II as q certainty tnat l was
going to be skinned outright.
As I sat down to the table for my
last f1utter or two. as 1 thought, a very
richly dressed and charming looking
woman took the seat next to me, smil-
ing at me in Il very. friendly fashion
when I stood up to allow her to settle
herself down. .
I was absolutely certain that / was
going to lose the little money I had
left. and I wanted to get the misery
over as oon as possible. When l sat
down to play I had no hope whatever
of saving anything from the wreck.
Yet 1 couldn't go away and save that
ten pounds.
For the first turn of the ball I put
the whole lot on black. an e
the whole lot down, cynically thinking
that ! wasn't going to be SO easily
misled into taking an interest in the
play. "Rouge Perd!" cred loses)
chanted the croupier again M my ten
pounds had become forty pounds.
This looked as if my luck was in.
Well. il my luck was in, l thought, I
might just as we'll leave the lot down.
If my luck wasn't in l couldn't do any
good by taking the money up unless
I was prepared to go away with it.
! decided that ! would get more
satisfaction from leaving the lot be-
hind me than going away with forty
pounds, for If I went away with it I
would be tormented by the thought
that If I had possessed a little more
pluck I would have got all my money
back. and perhaps some of the banks
money in addition. / left 1t down, and
up popped black again, and I was
eighty pounds strong.
There were but few people in the
rooms at that early hour. and those
who were playing were mostly daily
D~readers." or people who haunt the
table day by day. Inc go away as soon
as they have Won enough to pay their
DAYS expenses, but such as there were
gathered round the table at which I
was sitting. as il they expected to see
something worth looking at.
The charming lady on my left had
put maximums Of numbers that had
not turned up, but now she turned to
me with a charming smile and asked
in broken French if I would select her
a number.
Silently I pointed to number seven
teen. and she at once put the maxi.
mum stake of $50 francs upon II.
Seventeen is a black number, the first
black number to catch my eye, and /
had indicated it because / had AL
ready decided to leave my eighty
pounds down on the black.

twcnty-eight. so the lady lost, but the
color was black, so I won again. and
had now $50 pounds on the board.
The lady had a heap Of thousand
franc notes in front Of her, perhaps
fifteen or twenty of them, and she now
pushed these toward me and asked
me prettily to take them n play for
her.
1t was a rather embarrassing situa-
ton for a man. 1t could hardly be ex-
pected that she would be satisfied II 1
lost her money for her, and I found
it very difficult to tell her to play for
herself while I had her splendid eyes
fixed upon me with such a pretty
pleading look in them.
I played for her, and both her heap
and mine grew to enormous proper
tions. 1 lodged about from red to
black. p.tting the maximum Of gao
pounds on each time, and the color l
selected popped up with unfailing
regularity. ! must have had o than
a couple of thousand pounds in each
of our heaps when she bent over me
and mixed the two heaps together.
"Madame!" I calculated in a sur
prised tone.
1T is all right" she said with that
enchanting smile Of hers; I'VE. will di-
vide afterward."
! didn't like the mixing of the
money: but what could I do?
Her touching the money seemed to
change the luck. / wouldn't win aft
erward. and after losing $40 pounds
five times in succession I thought it
time to stop.
I had just commenced to gather I'D
the notes when the lady produced a
hand bag and held it open for me to
put n money in it. I did so. and we
!ert the looms together, she carrying
When We got outside I asked her il
we should go to her hotel to divide up
the money.
What money, monsieur ?' she asked
coldly. This money in. my bag is nv
own money. You lost ali yours on
those five last coups."
And I got a single farthinR
out of her. No, she wasn't an adyen-

DEMOCRATS WILL
PASS TARIFF BILL

Washington, Jan. 27.-In order not
to pass the metal tariff revision bill
Sunday morning the democratic lead
ers of the house after finishing the
measure almost to the last paragraph
adjourned that body a few minutes
before midnight tonight. They will
pass it early Monday. All attempts
of the. republicans to amend the meas
ure failed. The session was marked
by a sharp division between demo-
Gratis and insurgent republicans and
the open declaration of many of the
insurgents that they would vote
against the bill.
The bill as it will go to the senate
Monday will carry an average reduc-
ton of tariff duties on all metal arti-
clcs Of about 30 per cent from the
rates Of the Payne-Aldrich law now in
force. 1t is expected il it becomes
q. law to increase the imports BY S25.-
100000 and reduce revenues about

GETTING THE CONVENTION IN
SHAPE.

Il. The sentiment in favor of q mass
Rcnublican convention for the pur-
nose of selecting delegates to be Not-
cd for in the presidential primary.
that has been expressed in respons
to the movement ~inaugurated by j.
". Scott of Gilby is so overwhelming
" in favor of such n plan That 1t
would seem that the time for crystal
LIKING that sentiment into action is at
hand. Technically speaking the Ike
publican state organization Is the
proner body to call such conventions
But ir that were lone it might leave
the way opcn for criticism of Its &C
zion by those who do not agree with
the plan-if there are II such
Therefore, it would he better for the
Republicans who are interested To
prepare n call for such convention,
and have it signed AS extensively as
reasonable convenience would permit
and give IT publicity.
Under the call OF the national com
mitte.,, it would he necessary to have
{ four delegates elected from the state
at large and two from each of the
three congressional districts. If that
principle is technically carried out
there would have to be one state on
vention and a district convention in
each congressional district. But tho
presidential primary law of this state
makes no provision for selecting dele
gates by congressional diStrlctS-th
voting heing by the state ut large. II
for instance. Roosevelt delegates We're
voted for in the First congressional
district and received IL majority of the
votes cast. and Taft delegates were
voted for in the state at large. AND
received more votes than the Roose-
Welt delegates in the First district. we
apprehend the courts would decide in
favor of the Taft delegates. The
thing to do is to get in such shape
that the North Dakota vote will not
be thrown out of the national con-
vention, If the vote happened to be
30 close that by doing SO a candidate
rcpugnant to the desires of the Re-
puhlicans of the state could be nom
mated.
AS the proposed convention would
he recommendations and the selection:
would be made by the voters at the
primary election, the methods by
which the delegates were put in nom
ination by the party could not be
questioned either by tho courts or The
convention itself. Because of tho
short time in which action can be
taken, it would seem best to call /;
state wide convention. But if The
congressional districts desire to cal
conventions for themselves, there car
be no objection n every friend o,
the movement in the state will pu'
his shoulder to the wheel to push i
along.
