PONDEROUS PERSONAGES.
ALEXANDER HAMILTON.
BY GEORGE FITCH,
Author of "At Good Old Siwash."

Alexander Hamilton, one OF the largest
sized young men in history, was born in
the Wet Indies. January II, 100.
For twelve years Hamilton lived like
other boys and suffered the indignity of
being patronized and ordered around by
grown-ups. Then his father failed in
business and he went into a store to earn
his living. In a year or two he was
managing the store.
Hamilton made a great success in BUSH
ness and in his spare moments he wrote
up a cyclone for the local paper so
brilliantly that his neighbors dubbed to-
gether and sent him to New York to col
lege. On just such little points history
balances II they had sent him to Eng
land the United States might have been
sold off for junk over 100 years ago.
Hamilton entered Kings College, now
Columbia University. at seventeen, and
few months later he was making
speeches urging the colonists to rise and
swat the tyrants- At eighteen he had a
wide reputation as a writer of political
pamphlets. At nineteen he was cap
tain of artillery in the Revolution. At
twenty-four. a veteran of the late war.
he began to manage the new hedged re-
public.
Hamilton served in the Continental
Congress the next year and soon after
called a general constitutional conven-
ton to save the country. When the Con-
stitution was adopted he wrote essays
on it for the Federalist and people used
to go three blocks to meet the postman
on the day the paper came out. He be-
came Secretary of the Treasury which
at this time had few counterfeit dol
lars and some old porous plasters in II
and in few years he filled that Treasury
so full that it has never been empty
since. Before he was thirty-five he de-
clined to become chief justice and retired
to a well earned rest.
Hamilton never became President, but
enjoyed himself making Presidents and

evitably we shall have to draw on for
eign sources. The imports of beef
cattle from Canada last year amounted
to 325.7I7 head, an increase of rs per
cent over the previous year, and the
total was but little more than the num-
Der received at Denver, the tenth in
rank of our more important interior
markets. Imports were not large
enough to affect prices, even assuming
that Canadian cattle would be sold to
us for less than ruling quotations.
The situation calls for an encourage
ment of imports, rather than the re-
verse, and the Senate's action in put
ting cattle on the free list is move
in the right direction.

year his widow contracted marriage
with Mr.. Thomas Hohler. to whom she
was deeply attached. He died In 1882,

In philanthropic work. and the last twen-

Gambling in France received a blow
/ in the Chamber of Deputies when the
bill tending to suppress gaming through
out the country was adopted by 275 votes
to ga The motion was carried at the
beginning Of the debate on the govern
ment bill proposing to establish a pro-
gressive tax on the gambling profits
netted by the casinos and clubs, instead
of the present Is per cent tax, and also
to reinforce the regulation relating to
gambling establishments.
The new tax would procure an annual
increase of 1000 francs in the revenues.
and this sum was TO be expended on
charitable institutions. But several dep
uties protested against the prevailing
scandalous state of things. Under cover
OF the law. tremendous profits are made
by the gambling house occupiers in
Paris and in various resorts. In several
places scandals are so open that they
would justify the closing Of these gam
bling establishments. A deputy declared
that they had been suppressed every
where except in France and Monaco, and
that each year about go. 900 francs is
gambled away in France.
This unexpected vote Of the Chamber
has caused much sensation in the nu-
merous casinos, especially at the begin
ming Of the season. FLANEUR

Bathrick EARN Credit" Bill.

Congressman F. R. Bathrick OF
Ohio. has introduced in congress a
! bill to establish a bureau to insti-
tute a system of loaning money to
farmers upon agricultural lands.
Mr.. Bathrick is very much in ear
nest in pushing this measure, and
says that if action cannot be Sc
cured at this session, he will rein
troduced it in the next session.
Speaking OF the bill, Mr.. Bathrick
says:
1t proposes greater, sDeedier
cooperation than that of scattered
groups of high-interested victims
waiting for the unfolding under
American conditions of self help
system which dragged slowly into
general usefulness under European
conditions, different than ours, at
ter wait of over so years.
1t means cooperation wherein
the u. S. government-belonging
to all of discrepancies with the
farmer to destroy usury and con-
serve our only source of food, for
all of us.
1t it is not paternal;sm for our
government to lend money to the
banks at per cent. it cannot be
paternalism to lend money to the
farmers at 4>I-2 per cent. Ii lend
ing money to banks on the securi-
ty of municipal and railroad bonds
is safe business it is safer bust
ness to lend on the security of the
farm-the earth itself.
This bill would reduce the av-
erage interest burden nearly one
half. 1t would pay all costs OF
operation, AND provide a large fund
in the hands of the government,
approximately from ten to twenty
five million dollars per year, with
which to meet losses or to reduce
the taxes of the people.
After frequent gifts of large
tracts OF land to railroads it may be
hard to convince the farmer that
state government aid in farm
credits will spoil him. The gov
eminent has often guaranteed rail-
road bonds. In effect, my bill on
ly requires that the government
guarantee farm land mortgages.
For this guarantee it is protected
by the land itself. No security
could be better" Mc

Buffalo Herd Will Be Sold.

Pierre, S. d., Feb. 22.-The buff
falo herd which has long been the
property of the we'll known cllarac-
ter "Scotty" Phillip of Fort Pierre
must be sold in settling up the es-
tate of the late owner. George
Phillip. a nephew Of "Scotty" Phil
lip. and an attorney in Fort Pierre,
was appointed executor Of the per-
sonal estate, ETC., and affairs of the
noted cattle man, and the herd Of
buffalo, which is one of the finest
in America or the world. and is
valued at perhaps about $3.50, 1000
at a conservative estimate, there
being a few more than zoo buffalo
in the herd at $500 each.
1t is hoped that the legislature
will take some action in regard to
the matter, and buy UP the herd
and perhaps place them on the
government lands at Hot Springs
S. d., as South Dakota should not
permit the opportunity to slip past
the state at this time; otherwise
some eastern parties will come iii
and take the entire herd elsewhere,
sush proposition having already
been offered to the Phillip family.
Each year one of the big buffalo
have been killed and the meat sold
in Pierre for holiday delicacy and
the hide and head have been
mounted each time for some par
ticular individual who has had to
pay high price for the same, SO
that in each of these instances more
than a thousand dollars has been
realized from the one buffalo
hence $500 is but a small estimate
to put upon the herd per head.
There is agitation in the Legislature
to secure the herd for state proper
tv and this session may accom-
plish that end before it Is too late
! to do so.
