cromwsiI', Spurs.

It is generally acknowledged that
the most brilliant light cavalry officer
Great Britain has ever produced was
Oliver Cromwell. 1t is therefore pc
culiary unfortunate, but it is never
theless a fact, that on the statue OF
the Protector which stands outside
Westminster hall the spurs are repre-
sented as attached to the boots upside
down. Further, the left spur is on the
right foot. and the right Is on the left.
while 1t is insisted by the best experts
that the spurs are not Of the period

Emily Ford sent back the diamond

Suddenly Basil looked up from his

From the Ogden (Utah) Examiner

A deadhead reader of the Exam
iner sends us the following:
NV attention has been called to
your issue of April II. in which you
condemn J. Bruce Ismay, owner OF
the Titanic, for being among the
saved. Don't you suppose some man
had to 90 in the boats with the wom-
en-? Don't you suppose the pres'-
dent of the company that owned the
Titanic could inspire confidence IN
an hour of great peril?'
Thereby sustaining that fine CID
doctrine that deadheads ought to
stand together.
But they ought to sink together.
There wasn't stoker on the IT.
tanic who couldn't have done as
much for the safety of the women
survivors of that great wreck as J.
Bruce Ismay did. But the owner OF
the boat gave no stoker chance for
his life.
There wasa't a man passenger
who was less capable of caring for
the rescued. And every man pass
enger had claim to place in the
lifeboats far and away above the
claim of the man whose faith was
pledged to safe aud secure passage
for every buyer of ticket. Yet
hundreds of ablebodied men passen-
gers went to their graves while the
man who had theil. money rode
triumphant from the jaws of death
to the warm and welcoming arms of
friends.
Whatever was left of discipline 10
an awful hour insured him the pre-
cedence he demanded. He was the
only man on the Titanic who had to
be obeyed. Above all on board he
was responsible for the ship. and
whatever fate might come to her.
The laurel of honor, the crown OF
sacrifice, the blessing of service were
within his reach. But be threw
them awav to save little life. 1t
is to the everlasting honor OF men
not to Ismay-that the women were
saved. But how every wife must
despise the cur that owned the ship,
and didn't dare follow it's fortune in
failure, as he trod its decks in vani-
ty when winds were fair. How
every mother must scorn him when
she thinks of the sons silent in the
sands below the troubling of tenn
pests or the pIowshare of the deepest
iceberg.
They call him Ismay; but his name
is mispelled. 1t is Ishmael, come to
life again. In the supreme hour OF
existence his hand was against every
man. May the God of Justice send
that the hand of every man be held
from clasping his and that out OF
the sea the souls may come from the
bodies he banished to death-may
sit by his side in the silent hours Till
he knows that neither dawn nor
darkness can hide the coward or
the cur.
Read it again: A thousand men
went down. But they saved the
women-and the slave that owned
the ship.

Roosevelt and Bryan Cannot With
draw From Nebraska Contest.

Lincoln, Neb., Jan. Theodore
Roosevelt and w. j. Bryan may be
running for the presidency, at least in
Nebraska, unless they get busy and
check a movement now under way.
The Roosevelt primary petition was
filed ten days ago by John o. Yeiser,
an Omaha attorney.
Another Omaha man, A. A. AFTER,
invaded the Nebraska statehouse and
filed a petition, including the required
twenty-five names. making Bryan a
candidate before the coming April
primary.
What Roosevelt and Bryan can do
about 1t is something of a puzzle. Sec
rotary of State Wait has handed down
the novel ruling that neither Roose-
welt no Bryan can get of the primary
ticket unless the petitions are with
drawn by the men who made the Al
ings.

North Dakota is exceedingly fortu-

riers of the prominence which has
been attained by the above co-part-
ners. This firm has a plant on Broad
way, which is thoroughly equipped for
the storage of all kinds of furs. Their
entire basement being divided into
moth-proof vaults which are cool and
dry, and which are every year filled
with furs for storage which are shipped
from North and South Dakota, Mon
tana and even Is far west as Seattle.
them is thoroughly renovated by ma
chinery built for this purpose, n all
moths or dirt is thoroughly removed
before the furs are placed in the vaults.
During the number of years they have
been storing furs they have never
been called upon to pay 1 cent of dam
age for either moths or fire, which is
a remarkable record. Their charge is
exceedingly reasonable for storage only
amounting to about 8 per cent of the
value of the article. This charge COW
ers the cost of insurance against fire,
and they also deliver furs for people
from a distance to the express COM
panies in Fargo, whenever they desire
them, so that it is possible to ship
furs to them for storage with an alb
solute certainty that you will receive
the original garment in good condition
in the fall. Their business is rapidly
growing, both in the manufacturing
and storage line and they are at
tanning a high place among the fur
riers Of the northwest.
