Cuyler Bedloe had started little pa
per in addition to his law practice and
he had been a leader In march OF
progress that brought the population
of the town very close to that Of Its
deadly rival. Bitter Creek.
There was to be barbecue, pa
rade with a band famous in four
states to head the procession) and the
governor, who had been a classmate
Of Bedloe's at college, had half prom.
ised to address the crowd from the
rear of the train that was bearing him
to the celebration at the capital. 1t
was intended to crush Bitter Creeks
ambition with one decisive blow, and
the plans bid fair to draw most Of the
Bitter Creek crowd to Monday.
When he rode up to the Diamond
G ranch house Bedloe encountered the
first rebuff that he had received since
the plans were started.
II suppose you read The Clarion"
he said when Graham had given sur
ly greeting. 1--WE are planning big
time. It will be great thing for
Monday to have the governor make a
speech. It will advertise US all over
the state"
Its lot Of foolishness," was the
short response. Burning and eating
and drinking lot of money and up
setting the routine of every ranch IN
reach" ..
I'm sorry that you feel that way"
was the quiet retort. II had hoped
that you would be glad to contribute.
We have about all the money we need,
but we want every representative man
to be in on the list just to show his
patriotism"
patriotism be hanged" said Gra-
ham. 81 show my patriotism by pay
ing my taxes; not by spending money
white and blue, but it's all nonsense"
anyhow. 1t sounds pretty to talk
about the dear old flag and the red,
white and blue, but it's all nonsense.
Graham got up and stumped into the
house without even a good-by to the
lawyer-editor.
Before the end of the week everyone
in the vicinity knew that David Gra-
hame considered patriotism all fool
ishness, and would not contribute to
the celebration.

Is engaged in an active campaign
against him in the financial district
but is seeking to wrest from his brotn-
er the latter's supremacy In manag>
Ing the family estate.
After having had himself made
chairman of the International ana
Great Northern Railway and deposing
his brother George as president.
Frank J. Gould announces that 1t Is no
longer to be classed as Gould prop
erty," because 1t Is now owned and
controlled by himself and not by his
brothers
Frank J. Goulds latest move has
been to open q publicity campaign IN
the Wall street district. Frank Gould
Is now opposing his brother George IN
the Wabash railroad and other cor
porations.
1t is asserted that the attitude OF
the youngest of the Gould brothers Is
due to resentment caused by the at
titude taken by the women members
of the Gould family toward himself
and his wife. Frank ]. Gould married
Miss Edith Kelly, an actress, In 1910,
and soon his former wife remarked
The two children by the first mar
riage. Helen and Dorothy. were then
taken in charge by Miss Helen M.
Gould, who is caring for them at her
estate in Irvington. The women
members of the family have made
their displeasure felt in social way,
and this is said to have caused deep
embitterment in the family circles.
With the old Gould instinct, Frank
J. Gould has transferred the contest
to the financial field. and in Wall
street the outcome Of affairs Is await
ed with interest, as 1t Is not known
what course the next hostilities may
take.
Friends of George J. Gould feel
that the attitude Of his brother Is un-
fortunate, as the Wabash and two of
its affiliated roads are in the hands Of
receivers and undergoing the throes
of reorganization. George j., Ed
win, Howard and Helen Gould are the
four executors of their fathers estate,
George. who inherited the lions share
of the property, having added powers

MAKING A
PATRIOT
By Epps w. Sargent

Milly flung herself from her horse
and dashed up the few steps to where
her father, David Graham, sat scowl-
ing out upon the world.
Here are two letters and The Clar-
ion," she said as she delivered the
mail. There were some letters for
the boys that l left down at the
bunk house and what do you suppose,
Dad? They're going to have Fourth
of July celebration on Monday"
Darn fools," grunted Graham, as
he slit open the letters with his knife.
Burn a lot of money up in colored
fires, give the boys an extra good ex.
cuse for getting drunk, and there isn't
any work done for week afterward.
Who started it?"
"Mr. Bedloe," she said, with slight
flush. "He said that it was a shame
to let Bitter Creek put up a better
celebration than Monday and the rest
jumped at the plan It's all by pub
lie subscription" she added timidly.
Il told Mr., Bedloe that thought that
you would be willing to give $50 to-
ward it, the same as Fred Powell did"
We'll, ! won't" snorted Graham.
IF that old fool of Powell wants to
waste his substance that way he
60 ahead, but I'm not going to follow
bad example. If you see Bedloe
again, you tell him to save himself the
trouble of coming out here"
HE said that he might be out this
way this afternoon" she answered,
flushing softly
Graham glanced sharply at the girl.
"You keep away from that fellow Bed
loe," he commanded. He's a nuis.
ance and l don't want him hanging
round you"
Milly turned to the door, but Gra-
ham had not finished. He called to
her again and she turned questioning
ly.
Il don't want the men told about
this thing" he ordered. "If they hear
Of it, they'll want holiday and they
can't have it. You hear?"
Milly nodded again and slipped
through the doorway to hide the tears
that started to her eyes.
Until this year Monday has not at
tanned the dignity Of population suf-
ficiently large to warrant celebra-
ton of any sort, but much had hap
pened to the town in the last year.

in the last London Lancet Dr. Rush
ton Parker relates more remarkable
case Of the carrying of large foreign
body in that space of the head-and
that without the victim knowing that
his head was so filled up and weighted
down.
A young farmer consulted DR.. Par.
ker at the Liverpool hospital for a ma.
sal abscess that had troubled him
some time. Probing the nostril, the
surgeon found that loose mass, ap.
parently of metal, coupled consider
able space behind the nose and above
the roof of the mouth.
So large was this object that it was
removed with difficulty through the
side of the face. 1t proved to be a
gun breech and an iron bolt. The
breech measured 3x1Rx1 inches, the
bolt was three inches long. The weight
Of the two was a quarter Of pound.
This mass of metal had been in the
mans head for five years, though he
had not suspected its presence there.
A muzzle-loading gun had exploded
in his hands and shattered his face.
The wound healed without leaving any
outward deformity. His only aff1iction
was symptoms of nasal catarrh. The
young farmer made rapid recovery
to perfect health with the removal
of the iron from his head.
