Old Traveller Took tie Starch Out OF
the Staff Officer.

A gorgeous staff officer, glittering
attendant of visiting governor, stood
at the entrance to the platform in the
Philadelphia station of the Pennsyl
vania road the other day. There had
been historic anniversary celebrated
down the Delaware and the guests
were about to board their special train
for New York. The naughty staff Of
ficer had been stationed where he was
in order to pass in on to the platform
where the Special was awaiting the
proud. To him appeared an irate old
man, dictatorial of temper and apo
plectic of build
when does the next train for Har-
risburg leave?" snapped the portly
and fiery man.
The staff officer drew himself up
haughtily and replied in accents
don't know"
You don't, hey?" roared the irate
INQUIRER, being, of course under the
impression that the staff officer was
one of the uniformed employees of the
road; you don't, hey? Well, I'll find
out why you don't What in thunder
are you paid for, any way?"
By this time crowd of the expected
guests had arrived and were standing
by, listening with amusement to the
conversation. The last pointed cues
ton of the old man was too much and
smoker" broke out which swelled
into laugh as the staff officer, com.
pletely taken aback, stammered out:
'T-I-don't know"

DEER AND TROUT ON LINE.
Stories of Remarkable Catches Made
in North Woods.

To kill deer and catch trout at
and out-Izaa&s Walton. a fisherman
has just done the trick on the Arrow
lakes The deer Weighed 200 poends
and the trout ten. The fisherman was
trolling for trout when several deer
swan past his boat. One was an old
buck and the man managed to catch
hold of him as he was going by.
Having no gun, he tried to kill the
animal with a clasp knife, says the
Toronto Globe The buck objected so
strenuously that he got away, swim
ming off with the fishing line upon
his horns. The fisherman bailed out
his boat and started in pursuit. After
two hours rowing he caught up with
the deer, and with oars and knife sue
ceeded in Staying it. While the chase
was proceeding a big trout got on to
the hook and after the deer was safely
landed the fish was secured. 1t IS
quite a common occurrence to see
deer swimming in the lakes OF British
Columbia, but to capture one and
trout at the same time is infrequent.
Conductor Mckay, of the Nakusp
and SLOGAN branch of the Canadian
Pacific railway, previously held hon
ors in Kootenay for securing a wild
animal in unique fashion. He, while
on a moving train near Nakusp, shot
and killed a big bear, but the Usher
man has put him in the shade. Even
the captain of the Okanagan lake
steamer, who secured an eagle by
shooting it from the pilot house, has
had his fame eclipsed; while Nell
Getthing, who tried to lasso deer
from the deck of the old steamer w.
Hunter on SLOGAN lake, and failed by
horns breadth, is quite outdistanced.
The only man who can come near
to the fisherman's record is W. Hall,
of South Vancouver, who few days
ago killed an old bear and three CUBS
who were eating his strawberries IN
big patch just outside the city I'M
it's; but he had no fish with which TO
adorn the tale he told the reporters.

GOLD IN BIG CHUNKS.
Indian Chief Says Legend of Tribe
Tells of 1t.

Chief Good of the Nanaimo tribe
says there has been a legend in his
tribe for several generations that
about the canter of Vancouver Island
there is G stream with small falls.
Over re falls gold descends all the
time and if a basin is thrust into the
water golden grains can be caught
therein. There" says the chief, lis
plenty of the stuff that the white man
worships in blind obliteration OF all
that is good and noble. At the base
of the falls is almost a solid mass of
gold and in earlier days many Indians
cut away chunks to make bullets so
that he might hunt and get his daily
food"
1t is a matter of history that in 1852
two Frenchmen left Victoria to hunt
for the Midas stream. They returned
some months later with well filled
pokes, but ney or persuasion could
not induce them to make the trip
again, and their faces blanched with
terror when they spoke of this curious
Eldorado This bears out the super
stition of the Indians that terrible
god holds guard over the treasure,
that there is something supernatural,
something dreadful about the golden
river.
On this account few redskins have
ever been induced to joint the white
parties which from time to time have
been made I'D to look for the source of
the gold.

souELcHED THE PROUD ONE.

Violation of the Criminal sectio,

Twenty-nine officials of the Ma
tional Cash Register company have
been found guilty of three violations
of the criminal section of the Sher-
man antitrust act. Each of the de-
PENDANTS may be fined up to SIS 900
besides Jail sentence of SO months.
These are maximum figures. The
cases will be appealed to the limit.
and the final result is still far in the
future.
The regret is that the first verdict
under the criminal section of the anti
trust law had not been secured against
one of the big monopolies that exploit
millions of consumers instead of a
company whose operations are limited
to few, comparatively speaking.
However a beginning has been
made, and the President-elect has
several times expressed the belief
that the men who organize trusts and
monopolies that stifle competition
should be held personally responsible.
The verdict in the cash register case
is in line with the opinion of the Pres
ident-elect, and we may therefore
reasonbly anticipate many prosecu-
tions in accordance with the one lust
applied in Ohio.
The trial against the cash register
officials was conducted in Cincinnati
1t covered so actual trial days, and is
in many respects a remarkable sten
in the big task of enforcing the anti
trust law.

Interested In Press banquet

II have been very much interested in the
big banquet which the Birmingham Press
club is preparing to give on March 13,"
stated Philip Oster yesterday. Il know the
newspaper men; they are all good fellows,
and 1 know that their banquet is going
to be one of the most successful and en-
joyable affairs of it's kind ever held here.
IA newspaper man always has a lot
of energy and go about him that makes
whatever he starts to do a success If sue
cess is at all possible. l have attended
similar affairs in the past, and they have
always been among the most pleasurab.e
entertainments of my experience. Moth
ing better can be done for the benefit of
a town or the people or a town than
such affairs to promote good fellowship
and make us all better friends and ac-
quaintances. l am eagerly watching for
further details as to what the affair is
to be like, but | suppose that much will
be kept secret and sprung as a surprise
to the guests on the night of the ban
quet."

ment, present and to come, as to
whether the system shall be put in
operation. In the event that it IS, pri-
mary elections may be called, and
when such elections are held it be-
comes obligatory upon the depart
ment to appoint the person receiving
the highest number of votes among
the patrons of any given postoffiee.
This is perhaps the best settlement
of the muddle that has arisen over
the fourth class postoffices on ac-
count of the violent partizan action
at the eleventh hour of President
Taft. This plan would be more demo-
cratic than the proposition to subject
the fourth class postmasters to civil
service examinations.
The fact that the committee, con-
stituted as it is, has adopted it is an
indication that the postoffice appro-
priation bill will go through carrying
this amendment 1t would be very
good settlement of troublesome
question. 1t would keep some repub-
licans in office in the northern states,
but as a rule it would operate justly
throughout the country.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1913-02-15
Madero's Resignation

Just as plans were being formulated
in Washington for an offer of media
ton between the federals and the
revolutionists in Mexico President
Madero resigned. And SO ends the
efforts of those who might be ready
to tender their good offices in the
interests of peace.
Director General John Barrett of
the Pan-American union had sug-
gested a mediation commission to con-
sist of Senor Calderon, minister from
Bolivia; DR.. Pena, minister from
Uruguay; Senor De La Barra of Mex
leo and either Mr.. Bryan or Mr.. Root
of this country. The names proposed
were beyond objection, but after all
the combatants would probably not
have agreed to wait upon mediation
even had Madero not retired from
office.
Anything is better than inter
vention by this country, for that
means the complete absorption of
100000 undesirable people after
long and expensive war Popular SEN
timent in this country does not favor
annexation. President Taft has avoid
ed intervention thus far, and no doubt
his clear vision and sound judgment
will carry him to the end of his term
without resort to it. He appreciates
the heavy responsibility that inter
vention involves, and yet he has up
held the case of the United States
with dignity and firmness. He has to
great extent kept safe Americans
and American interests in Mexico.
Whatever injury to either has been
inflicted must in the long run be adj
justed by the Mexican government
when peace finally comes.
The fighting in the Mexican capital
has been fast and furious and the sit
uation in that unhappy country will
be grave for some time to come. But
it is hoped and believed that the Mexi-
cans will be able to settle their own
troubles without intervention on the
part of the United States.

As to Democratic Simplicity

Il have usually voted the democratic
ticket, but the phrase, democratic sim
plicity.' has never appealed to me-" said
w. j. Smelling of Philadelphia. "All Amer
leans believe In a republican form of gov
ernment. We have a great republic and
the principles of the democratic party
when carried out make for the stability
of our institutions. But democratic SIM
plicity' is sometimes overdone.
I'm 1904 | voted for Mr.. Roosevelt. In
1908 did not vote at all, but last No
vember it gave me great pleasure to vote
for Woodrow Wilson. My first vote was
cast in 1884. when Grover Cleveland was
the candidate, and since that time voted
the republican ticket only once-19o4
Mr. Wilson has many admirable quail
ties, and l think he will make us good
President, but l am inclined to believe
that he lays too much stress on so-called
democratic simplicity He frequently
jokes. and it may be that he was joking
when, he intimated that he would not
have doorkeeper at the White House.
but would let everyone who wished to
see him walk in without sending in his
name. Such rule would be well nigh
impossible as well as absurd. The Presi-
dent-elect will find that being governor
of New Jersey and being President of the
United States are very different AS gov
ernor, Mr.. Wilson did not have to employ
secret service men, but as President-elect
he is already guarded by detectives. This,
by the way, is something unusual The
first secret service man at the White
House dates, / am told, from 1880, just
after President Garfield was assassinated.
But the public did not hear much of this
new functionary until Mr.. Mckinley be-
came President. think Mr.. Wilson is
the first to have secret Service men at
tending him before the inauguration"
