/ Grizzly Gulch was full or bars and rat.
tlesnakes and centipedes and aIligators
but that every varmint and reptile fed
in terror at the sound OF his footsteps
He said he had been scalped by Indians
run over by wild horses. struck by
lightning, pursued by a prairie fire, and
drawn down by quicksands. but he still
lived, and he was hungry for human
ears fried in bacon grease. When things
went his way he was as good-natured
as a baby and would go a mile out OF
his way rather than disturb a sleeping
coyote, but when things went wrong.
look out! He could remember the names
of twenty-one men he had buried, and
he had a poor memory at that. He
was naturally a peaceful man, but once
aroused he could not hold himself and
would not be responsible for damages.
The stranger continued talking in this
strain fer quarter OF an hour. by which
time the crowd had taken his measure.
He had stopped for breath and was get
ting ready to jump on his hat again
when a man who had been leaning
against the front of a shanty saloon
lounGed over to him and drawled out:
Stranger, where did you say you
hailed from?''
From Grizzly GuIch, sir; and Grizzly
Gulch is the beginning Of Fightin'

"A dozen of 'em.''

stranger, as he flung his arms about

We watched him until he was half a
mile avay-watched him with no man
speaking a word. Then the man with
the gun restored IL to its holster and
started back for the saloon with the mutt
tered exclamation:
Bah! He was only a duffer.''

BY VI. QUAD.
One day stranger came into our
camp and looked around for a while
and finally asked If we had a man of
sand among us. Judge Watkins promptly,
answered that we had a man who wasn't
afraid Of anything above or below the
earth, and sent man down to the creek
after Bill Hopkins. When Bill came up
the stranger looked him over and
queried:
AR you a fighter?"

Why the Farmers Central Bank in
Germany Dissolves.

The Imperial Cooperative Bank Of
Germany, the duty of which is to serve
as a central credit institution for the
loan and savings banks affiliated with
the Union of German Cooperative Ag-
riculturaI Societies, is to be dissolved,
because of high and poor financing. |"
There are e6,576 agricultural societies,
with a membership of 100000 farm
ers affiliated with the union. Many of
these small societies will suffer con-
siderable loss.
William Haas, the founder of the
union and its affiliated Imperial Co.
operative Bank, as we'll as the Inter-
national League of Agricultural Socie-
ties, before his death last winter, said !:
in cases where ignorance and foolish
desire for profit and power of personal
motives lead people away from self
reliance there cannot fail to be want
of success"
Technically educated men of no prac-
tical experience have full swing in Ger
many. 1t is fundamentally a try-out
country. Therefore, before we borrow
a leaf from the experience of German
institutions it is well to keep in mind
that what can be done over there may
not at all do for this country. The
Emperor, who favored and in fact
urged the creation of the union and its
affiliated banks, relied upon the advice
of one of the greatest of landowners
OF Germany and Austria-his chum,
Prince Max Egon zu Fuersteenberg.
This led to the establishment of the
so-called princes Trust" comprised
of men who, one and all, counted their
wealth In seven or eight figures. These
mobiles trusted a man who, though tech
nically well equipped, seems to have
lacked the one essential thing to Sue
cess-practice. Hence the result. The
institutions are to liquidate; the small
farmer will be the loser, and the Kai-
ser and his friends, whole string of
eminent and rich aristocrats, have lost
millions. Serves them right! Haas
was not the man to be picked for so
responsible a position. Court favor
procured for him the place, but per-
hsps the Emperor and his noble busi-
ness associates have learned their les
son.

From the London Tid-Bits.
While the Postmaster General is wor-
rying about a scheme for synchrcnizing
clocks from Greenwich, London's cham
pion timekeeper, title which might well
be bestowed upon Miss Belleviffe. still
continues to act. as she has done for
many years, as purveyor of the correct
time in the metropolis. Every week she
calls at the Greenwich Observatory with
a chronometer which surely must be the
most perfect specimen of matchmaker 5
art in the world. This is checked ac-
cording to the official time, after which
Miss Belleville carries the watch around
to her clients in order that they may
set their clocks by it.
Miss BellevilIe, with her wonderful
chronometer.- time down to finer dis
tinctions than any synchronized clock
can aspire to. When taken TO the OBJ
servatory a few days ago ii was found
to have varied during the week by only
10 Of second. an inappreciable differ
ence in time to the ordinary citizen. but
quite enough to make a variation OF
value to her clock-making clientele, to
whom she communicates the fractions Of
a second by which the nautical and other
highly tested time registers they may
have under observation have varied in a
week.
Miss Belleville's chronometer has never
been known to deviate more than fifteen
seconds from Greenwich time in a week,
and this after being carried all over
London in train. bus, and electric tram
Her unique occupation has an interest
ing family history. 1t appears that Miss
BelleviIle's father. about half century
ago, obtained permission from the then
astronomer royal to hurry from the OBJ
servatory. where he was employed. to
chronometer makers to give them the
minute to tenth OF a second. Her
mother took up the curious occupation
on Mr.. Bellevilie's death. and now their
daughter carries on the business.

Moving Military Skill Exhibitions.

A feature of the exhibition drill OF
1900 horsemen before President VIII
son in Potomac Park the other day
was the silent signals now prac-
ticed so assiduously by our army. The
review itself was a fine demonstration
of the skill and industry of both Of
hcers and men.
The demonstration should make i
clear TO the average citizen that the
modern soldier is specialist, hard
working and hard-worked man, and not
a loafer. If such display of proficiency
were more common the public might
obtain knowledge of the, army which
would correct many erroneous i'm
pressions prejudicial to the service.
The mobile element of our army is
limited and can spare but few de-
tachments, being employed as object
lessons for the instruction of the pub
lie. 1t may be a good thing to organ
ize moving military exhibition,
which should afford the nation gener-
ally the same chance to learn what the
army is doing that was accorded those
who with the President witnessed the
evolutions of our entire cavalry brig
ade, and to all of whom these feats
of military horsemanship were reve-
lation indeed.
But the cavalry must not be taken
10 be the only arm of the service that
is entitled to a place in the arena of
military skill. The infantry, though
more for hard work than for show,
also could give striking exhibition of
high-grade craftsmanship and of en-
durance that carries it through forced
and tedious marches. So could the
artillerymen and horses show feats of
driving peculiar to that extraordinary
heavy hauling. 1t would not be bad
idea TO have such a mixed force tour
the country. 1t would be sure of ap-
preciative audiences and would create
that enthusiasm for the military pro-
fesSion which would fill the ranks of
our regiments in times of need.

tinctive judicial quality OF his intellect.
He was not a very learned lawyer but
he possessed something better than mere
learning. That was his capacity to as
simulate fundamental legal principles and
to apply them to any particular case
which was before him. These ,auaIftica-

THE OPEN FORUM
Sentiment on Pankhurst Case.

To the Editor: 1t is relief to every
law-abiding citizen to learn through The
Herald today that no special favors are
to be shown by our authorities to a con-
victed and confessed criminal who comes
from an English Jail to spread her law
less views in this country.
If the deliberate destruction Of prop
erty. personal assaults and arson, involv-
ing possible loss of life do not consti-
tute criminality. then there is no mean
ing to the word.
The Endorsement Of this foreign crimi-
nal would be a grave mistake on the part
Of the suffragists of this country. i;
would set back their cause heavily.
We trust that the statement in some of
our papers that the Department of La
bor proposes to, nullify the law OF Con-
gress by the admission of Mrs. Pank-
hurst is an error.

conversation with Judge Davis" Mr..
Hit said. don't fail to ask him what his
opinion Of Lincoln as a lawyer was.
There is no man in the United States
who had better opportunities OF measur-
ing Lincoln's capacity as a lawyer than
did Judge Davis. He was circuit court
judge in Illinois for many years. and 1t
was upon his circuit that Lincoln used
chiefly to practice. He and Davis became
very warm personal friends They often
roomed together in country taverns-
They took their meals together and
have always been Of the opinion that
Judge Davis was the first man In Illi-

Mr.. Hit made this suggestion to me to
spend an hour or two in conversation
with Judge Davis. II was In the spring
of 1855. Judge Davis was United States
Senator and his service as President OF
the Senate expired on March 4 OF that
year. He went almost Immediately to
North Carolina to meet and marry the
young woman who had been betrothed
to him.

If ever the large cities succeed in
driving ont the arson gangs and to
enforce constant precaution upon own

est portion of our tremendous fire
losses will be saved. New York has
made a fine beginning in this respect
since last winter with marked results,
since the arrest and conviction of her
professional incendiaries.

GOLFERS ABANDON
PLAN FOR TOURNEY
Lack of Interest Given as
Reason for Giving Up
Proposed Meet.

Plans for the proposed tournament
open 20 professional golfers within
radius OF 100 miles of Chicago have
been dropped because of the number
of players who have left the city. Tom
Bendelow. who was in charge Of the
arrangements, made efforts to get the
players to enter. but decided that the
interest was not sufficient for tourn-
ament this year.
The object of the tournament, which
will be held sext year. is to get the
pros" in trim for the western and ma
tional open championships each year.
In the past few years Chicago players
have never finished better than third
or fourth. The reason for this, the
players say. is that they do not get
sufficient tournament play. In the
east the professionals have several
tournaments during the season and
when time comes for title play they
are in condition to meet not only
United States players, but British pros
a. well.

FINAL BATTLES
Coach Campbell Declares
Touchdowns Will Be Few
in Saturdays Game.

Boston. Nov. 1.-THE results of Sat
urday's games put crimp in the
most conservative hopes of followers
of both Harvard and Princeton. Yale
showed a vastly superior team to the
Tigers in all departments except punt
ing, and. although the score was a tie.
Princeton may thank HOBBY Baker and
the plucky little Law that Yale did not
pull out victory. Dartmouth, a
prominent contender for the champion
ship, was put out of the running by
the willy Indians, and Harvard had an
easy time with Brown.
The Princeton-Ya game was the
most important of Saturdays contests.
especially since it brings the real Ell
strength to light. Yale has been
through a rather disastrous season and
deserves great credit for the way in
which the team pulled together against
Princeton. 1t was the first time this
year thae the Blue coaches have been
able to put their strongest rush line
in the game and the effect was re-
markable. Captain Ketcham deserves
credit for leading his team to a virtual
victory in spite of great oodds.
