Bread and Ham on Waters Bring Back Shave

m ITTSBURGH, PA.-The truth OF
the Biblical injunction about cast
ing bread upon the waters and the
bountiful returns that will accrue was
quite satisfactorily proven to City De-
tective William O'Bryan the other day,

verb should be amended so as to In

O'Bryan is follower of DIR. Wiley's
teachings and refuses to touch the

carries a modest little lunch. The
other evening O'Bryan was not feeling
very well. However, he made away
with all his lunch with the exception
OF two little ham sandwiches. Some

BIG RANCHES OF ARGENTINA
Vast Tracts of Land Recovered From
indians Supporting Great
Cattle Herds.

growth of the stock industry of Argen-

believe if the laws Of the two coun-
tries are favorable Argentina can sup
ply this country with a great quantity
of beef, which would materially assist
in reducing the cost of meats to the
consumer.
Less than forty years ago the great
rich tracts of grass land in Argentina
were practically unproductive. The
Indians roamed the plains and general
settlement on the land was danger
Gus and well nigh impossible. The
Indians, however were subdued in
1878, and that date saw the inception
of the estancias or ranches and the
systematic reclamation of the land to
pave the way for an industry the mag
nitude of which today is stupendous.
The immensity Of the cattle busi-
ness can be estimated from the Off
cial returns recently published, which
show that last year in the Argentine
there were 30,000,O00 cattle, 70,000,000
sheep and 100000 horses. The cattle
and horses are bred in the warmer
parts of the country to the north,
where alfalfa abounds, and the sheep
in the districts in. the southern prov
inces.
Some of the large ranches carry as
many as $4,000 head OF cattle and pro-
vide hunting grounds for many Eng
lishmen. The 'gaucho' is one of the
most picturesque as well as useful fig
ures on these ranches and forms the
counterpart of his famous brother the
cowboy Of North America. Life on a
ranch is far from unpleasant, and on
some of the big ranches under British
control evening dress for dinner is the
custom. The Argentine wool is Of high
grade and large part of 1t goes to
supply the home markets"

MoNGoLS KILL BRAVE MAN
British Telegraph Operator Laughs In
the Face Of and Taunts His
ENeeutoners.


PelSln-News has reached here OF
the tragic death OF an English tele-
graph operator named Grant and his
four Chinese companions, It seems
that Grant, together with Mr.. Henning
sen the Pekin superintendent Of tele'
graphs, and other linemen, mad been
sent into Mongolia to repair the Chi
nese government lines. The party
separated at Tuerin, Grant following
one line and Henningsen another, The

brought him that Grant had been slain.
With DR.. Wolf and a Mr. Giles, Mr.
Henningsen at once returned to Mon
golia to look for the missing opera
tor or to verify the rumors of his
death
When the party reached the place of
the reported capture of Grant, he de-
scribed the appearance of Grant to the
local chief, who told him that such a
man was in the camp of the Great
Chief, 40 miles further on. but that
he had joined the Mongols and would
not leave them. When they reached
the Great Chiefs camp a Russian was
found there who bore a striking re.
semblance to the missing man. In
the camp they found Grants belong
ings, his saddle, pipe and boots. They
asked the Russian about them and
were informed that the things had
been captured from the Chinese.
Remington then became angry, and
bitterly reproached the Russian. The
latter replied that he had no idea the
things had belonged to Grant. The
Mongols had captured them all from
the Chinese, and 1t was evident that
the Chinese had killed and robbed
Grant, Henningsen then turned to the
Mongols and upbraided them.
You must have known that this was
not the man l was looking for" he
said, and as you have all my friends
belongings you must know what has
become of him. | shall go and talk to
the Great Chief"
One of the Mongols who had shown
the party several courtesies then
drew Henningsen aside and urged
him not to indulge in any further
questions.
Your life and those of all the party
depend upon your discretion in this re-
spect," he said. You win not find
out any more here but l can tell you
that Grant had been killed Go away
in peace. If Grant had done that he
would not have been killed"
Having discussed the matter the
party decided that they could do no
more, but they learned from other
Mongols that Grant and the three
Chinese had been captured, and that
the Mongols had decided to kill the
Chinese Grant was told that he could
go to Kalgan after his camera had
been destroyed, but he refused to aban-
don the Chinese.
The Mongols gave him the choice OF
going away at once or being shot with
the Chinese. Grant chose the lat
ter, and as he stood in front Of the
firing party he taunted the Mongols
with their cowardice and laughed in
their faces until the Mongols wonder
ed at his bravery.
