South Bend Man, Heir to
Large Fortune, Will Keep
His Job With Railroad

as numerous in that part OF the coun-
cry as they are now, my brother-in-
law carried -four 60 miles on his
back, which because Of the difficulty
in acquiring it. was valued at S1.50 a
pound"
Just Had to Win Out.
In speaking of the hardships under
which his prospective fortune was
amassed, Mr.. Halliday said:
We'll. they naturally just couldn't
help getting rich after they got start
ed. The actual cost OF raising a steer
was about $3.50 and the same steer
sold for $40. After a good many
years in the cattle business, my sister
and her husband moved into Dillon,
Mont, where they went into the bank
ing business and made a success of
that the same as they did on the ranch.
Sixteen or seventeen years ago her
husband died and a year afterward
she became blind"
Mr.. Halliday did not know OF his
sisters death, which occurred last
May. until a few days ago. During
all these months an effort has been
made 10 locate him, but not until the
last day or two was he put in posses
sion OF the facts.
VIII Stay at Work.
He may have TO make n trip TO
Denver, where his sister died, within
the next few days.
Have you any idea Of staying
there ?" / asked.
II haven't made any such plans. AS
far as 1 know / will stay right here.
I've been in the railroad business all
my life and like nothing better. 1
always expect to work and intend
staying in the railroad business as long
as I do anything"
The sprightly manner and active
mind of Mr.. Halliday would give no
intimation of the seventy winters he
has seen. When / remarked at this
his explanation was .lausible enough.
years ago." he said, when I went
into the railroad business, l made up
my mind that railroading and whiskey
would never mix. L took my rest when
some of the other men did other
things. In consequence L was always
ready for my days work and never
found il too much for me-"
Just then a westbOund train pulled
out OF the station and Halliday eX-
cused himself to go out and perform
his duty of giving warning of its ap-
proach, and the interview ended.

candidate for reelection and he knows
that / control a great number of the
votes OF the city"
Tbis assertion by Col. Sullivan has
not served to establish him IN the
good graces of the prosecutor. 1T IS
"A lie that he ever helped me into Of
flee" Prosecutor Montgomery de-
clares "Or that / mean to prostitute
my office for his political help in the
future. He was merely using my
name i'm vain. and kuespert was right
in leaving me out of the negotiations.
After more talk along the same
line Euespert is said TO have told
Sullivan to come TO the Office in the
evening and that in the meantime he
would see Prosecutor Montgomery. 1t
was at the evening session that Sulli-
van was caught red-handed on the
act OF handing Kuespert 800 IN 81
bills according to the police.
For the evening meeting KueSpert
placed Sheriff Swanson, Clerk Ander-
son of the water works department.
and Clerk JOSephson OF the board OF
public safety i'm the ante-rOom, where
il is said every word of the CONVERSE
ton in the office is plainly audible.
Witnesses Were Handy.
According TO the notes OF Joseph
son. Sullivan's first remark, Did you
see HIM john" meaning Prosecutor
Montgomery. NO" Kuespert is said
TO have answered. II did not. | am
not quite sure of his stand in this
case. Joe" THAT is easily arranged"
the notes taken credit Sullivan with
replying. You can appear in police
court when my case comes up and
stave il off by various means until
am dismissed Kuespert then ap-
peared TO be in favor of the PROPOSE
ton. and said. We'll, I believe 1 will
take chance at it, joe"
Then Kuespert says Sullivan reach
ed liz his pocket and pulled out wad
OF bills and handed il TO him. Kues-
pert took it and said This looks
pretty good to me. Joe This was
the cue for the entrance Of the three
eavesdroppers. and Sheriff Swanson
walked in and placed him under ar
rest. Sullivan appeared dazed and
offered no resistance and was led out
and 10 the county jail.
ON the way 10 the jail, Sullivan be-
sap at the sheriff. Now. Ed, we have
always been good friends" but the
sheriff stopped him. THAT is enough
of that he told the prisoner and the
conversation stopped. The penalty
FOR bribery in Indiana is two to IA
years in the state prison.

(By FRANK G. MENKE.)
 In New Britain, Conn.,, far removed from the turmoil and strife of base ball, there's man with a dark mus tache, with soft brown eyes and hair that is graying at the ends, who smiles all day the smile that one smiles when one is happy and con- tented and at peace with all the world.
 The man who smiles is Tom Lynch, once proxy of the National league, now proprietor of prosperous theater in the little Connecticut town.
 Tom, as many will recall, was boot cd out of the National league last De- cember, after serving it for four years, because the pugnacious moguls decid- ed they wanted "an able man to ably handle the affairs of the league
 It hurt Toms pride bit when he was showed out into the cold, cruel world with nothing to warm him but his feeling of indignation toward his former bosses, but Tom hasn't minded the cold much lately. In fact, he's quite glad now that he was showed,

 "In closing. I said that I wished the National league every success. l meant it then and still mean it. was in the service of the National league for many years. I owe much to the National league. That they should depose me as president and put someone else in my place Is their right. Why should feel hard toward them because they exercised that right?

 The National league magnates have come to the conclusion that the $25,- 900 annual salary they agreed to pay Governor Tener has been wise in- vestment. Tener is signed up for four years, but will not draw any sal ary for 1914, as he will be on the payroll of the state of Pennsylvania until the end of the year:
 Serving the first year without pay and getting $25,00O for each of the three following years means that Tener's yearly salary for four years will average only $1S,75O. And the magnates feel right now that Tener's little stunt of placing the skids under Mr. Murphy and then showing MT. Murphy into the discard is we'll worth the total money they will pay Tener for the four years of his ser vice.
 Lynch's salary was $S,O00 and when William Baker, president of the Phil lies proposed Tener as Lynch's sue cessor, some of the magnates were against the idea because they figured that $25,000 was too much muchness in the way of salary. Baker, how ever, pleaded Tener's case, pointing out that Tener would prove to be a second Moses and would lead the league out of chaos into the promised land.
 No one will regret paying Tener the $25,000 salary" Baker argued. And now those who once opposed Bakers advocacy of Tener fully agree with him in what he said.

JUMPING BEANS OF MEXICO
Not Bean at All, but a Species of Fruit-Queer Antics Caused
 by Caterpillar.

You may have noticed among arti- cles offered for sale at a bazaar some curious little three-ccrnered objects that keep hopping about as if alive. They are called jumping beans. though really they are not beans at all, as you can tell by their shape They are the fruit of tree growing in Mexico. four of the so-called beans" forming one fruit. which splits open and divides as it dries.
 While the fruit is still young and soft, tiny caterpillar eats its way through the skin to the inside and takes possession. It gradually eats out the whole of the inside of the fruit. and of course grows larger. Mean while the skin has hardened into a thin but strong shell, and the fruit having divided has fallen to the ground The caterpillar is thus shut into a strong prison.
 Mexico being very hot country, it will make difference to the temper ature of the shell whether 1t falls into a shady nook or is left out in the open, exposed to the sun. Now, though the caterpillar cannot see through the walls of it's little house, instinct leads it to try to get into some sheltered spot where 1t will not be trodden on or disturbed. The only way it can do this is by knocking it's head against the top of the shell and falling forward whenever it feels the warmth of the sun.
 It takes a long while to get over the ground in this way, at the rate of quarter of an inch each jump" but by dint of perseverance a safe retreat will generally be found; the seed will eventually burst and grow. The cater pillar then turns into a chrysalis. which develops into a pretty little brown moth that lays its eggs on the leaves of the same tree.

 Long time ago the deer had no horns, and the top of his head was as smooth as the does head is today. He was a good-natured fellow, who liked to show all of the other animals how fast he could run and how far he could jump.
 Now, the rabbit was also a great runner and a good jumper. and he liked to tell about what, he could do whenever he could get anyone to listen.
 One day the rabbit was snif1ng around Mamma Bear, as she was taking the last of the corn cakes out of the fire, and begging for some of the hot and crisp pieces off the edge.
 Give me two pieces, and I will show you that can jump clean over your fire," said the rabbit.
 "I declare" said Mamma Bear. eff you don't stop bothering me I'll pick you up and hold you over the fire until all of your fur is singed off"
 Catch me first!" said the rabbit, and ran away to see what other mis- chief he could get into. After the rabbit ran off, Mamma Bear sat down and thought out plan to stop the rabbit from boasting any more of his speed. She folded up her apron and went to call on the Great Beaver.
 T think we ought to fix up a race between the rabbit and the deer," said Mamma Bear, "and offer grand prize to the one who wins. If we do that, know that the deer will beat, and won't have to listen to MT. Rabbit talk about himself"
 And I know just the right prize to offer to the one who wins," said the Great Beaver. q will tell my son to whittle out a fine pair of horns, and then will set them up in front of my
