TEXAS COWPUNCHER
DIES WORTH. MILLION
As Boy Asked For Cattle In
Lieu Of Pay.

Ell Paso, Tex.-Wert Love, who has
died at Warfa, started as a cowboy
without even horse that he could call
his own and became millionaire owner
Of vast herds and ranch that was a
domain in itself.
A resident of West Texas since 1885.
Vert Love was known to every cow
man from Fort Worth to Ell Paso. He
had his peculiar characteristics, and
thrift was one of them. But while he
was frugal, he never allowed a genuine
case Of distress to go unrelieved.
When other cowboys we're drawing
their wages in gold back in the eighties
and riding to Ell Paso or San Antonio
to spend the money in riotous living or
over the gaming table. Vert Love was
putting his earnings into cows. His
start was seven COWS. At his death he
could not have counted all the cattle in
his herd if he had ridden hard for a
month ut the task. H..
His first work after coming west was
for jim Powell cousin, near Fort
ceived but $25 a month and his board.
He refused to take any money except
that necessary to buy his clothes, which
were few. and asked to be paid in COWS.
In 1889 he had $50 head. After the
start it seemed easy to those who
watched Vert Love, but they knew he
was working hard all the time.
He always picked the best cattle
when he bought. and he always picked
the best range for them. The result
was that he lost few cattle by disease
or drought. He watched the markets
and sold right and invested the money
again
The result was that when he died 200
men were on his payroll and his estate
was worth more than $1,OOO,OOO. "A
son nine years old will get most of it
and will probably be the richest boy in
Texas.

son, who began his career as a tele-
graph operator, suggested to Mr..
Hutchinson that he learn the Morse code.
Mr. Hutchinson did this, and in that
way they began a system of communi-
cation based upon it and operated by
tapping off the dots and dashes with
the fingers. AS they have been insep-
arabic companions they have used this
means of talking with each other a
great deal and have been able to ex-
change words even in shaking hands.
J Mr.. Edison has never allowed his
deafness to bother him. In fact, he has
considered it an asset in his work, as
he has been able to move about in his
busy factory without being distracted
by its great noises.
But recently when the inventor went
to- Washington to preside over the
dest1nies Of the new board of which
Secretary Daniels made him the head.
he was embarrassed for the first time
at his loss Of hearing. But he took Mr..
Hutchinson with him and posted him at
his right and close by his side when
the board met. Mr.. Hutchinson tapped
to Mr.. Edison everything that was said.
sometimes verbatim and sometimes
boiling it down into fewer words. By
means of this Mr.. Edison directed the
boards discussions and even found
time to flash back to Mr.. Hutchinson
comments upon what his assistant had
already interpreted to him.
Mr.. Hutchinson was able to send Morse
messages to Mr.. Edison at the rate of
thirty words a minute, and as the
speeches were said to have been deliv-
cred in a more or less deliberate fash
ion he was able to keep up with almost
every sentence Of every address.
Mr.. Edison and his assistant also
worked the Morse code with their eve

dot and long wink means a dash.
and they talk to each other in this
way when they wish to convey mes
sage of private nature when they are
surrounded by other persons and are

led to a concentration on the brilliant
Jewish officer, his accusation, his quick
trial and his deportation to horrible i'm
prisonment OH Devils island, off the
coast of South America.
In the Dreyfus case the mills of JUS
tice were grinding slowly indeed, but
they were grinding surely. It took
twelve years formally to establish an
innocence in which the world at large
long believed.
Alongside of Dreyfus, the martyr,
have stood two heroes whose names
deserve to be indelibly linked with the
love of truth and justice.
One Of them was Emile lola, most
noted Of modern French novelists. For
simple love of truth he dared to take
up the cause of condemned man and
defy government and army in his IA
nous letter beginning 81 accuse" For
that he was sentenced to heavy fine
and Imprisonment and the loss of his
Legion of Honor button. He fed into
exile
The other man was Colonel Picquart,
who sacrificed rank in the army, favor,
fortune, fought duels and suffered
months Of Imprisonment because he
dared proclaim the guilt Of his brother
officers in condemning an innocent
man. It was he who discovered the
forgeries and the crimes that convict
ed Dreyfus and he who had the cour-
age to stand for the truth.
He was cashiered in disgrace, but
the reha utilization Of the chief sufferer
brought about his restoration. Without
the discoveries made by Colonel Pic
quart while chief Of the intelligence
bureau Of the army it is doubtful
whether the innocence Of Dreyfus ever
could have been established.
In 1899 the courts ordered the pris-
oner brought back to France for re-
trial. The session began at Rennes in
August before a court Of seven off,
GERS. presided over by Colonel Jouaust.
The prisoner, like one raised from the
dead, made daZed and unfavorable
appearance. Labori, his lawyer, made
a brilliant case and won great fame.
Dreyfus was freed, but not rehabili-
tated. The verdict Of the court martial
left him under suspicion. He refused
to accept the Judgment as final. He
must have complete vindication and be
restored to the same plane OF innocence
on which he stood before the accusa-
don Of 1894. This was given him seven
years later when the supreme court Of
the republic annulled the verdict OF the
Rennes court martial. and then he was
given the rank Of g major IN the army,

AS the banner moves on pleased mods

dark doorway and up the stairs marches
Miss Dock, holding her suffrage ban
ner before her. Our nurses come here
often to look after the children" she
explains.
Through crowded kitchen and into
a room in the front Of the house she
marched. May We come in?" asked
Miss Dock. A cultural sound signified
assent. A young woman with much
embroidered and solemn faced baby
looking like an infant mandarin sat at
one end Of table between the win
dows. At the other window sat an
older woman sewing. Both women
wore native costumes. Neither could
speak English. The younger woman
went out Of the room and soon return
ed, bringing her sister, a girl of fifteen,
, who goes to high school, She listened
to Miss Dock moment and then a
smile broke out all over her face. Yes,
indeed, she knew about the suffrage
campaign, and she believed in votes for
women. Then she turned and spoke
rapidly to her mother and sister-in-law..
Immediately their faces changed, the
guinness vanished and they beamed
upon the callers. They, too, believed in
votes for women; yes indeed. and so
did their husbands.
Out on the street again and up into
another house marched the Chinese
banner with it's message Of equality for
men and women. Here was Chinese
woman of high degree. Heiress to ali
the traditions of old China, neverthe-
less she has her face set toward the
promise Of the years to come, and she
believes in equal suffrage. To be sure,
as Miss Dock explains, there are not so
very many registered voters in China

they are going to receive the message.
They are interested in it too. One full

POUNDS THE SPINE TO
REDUCE LARGE HEART
Contraction Usually Follows
Quickly y, Says Professor.

Philadelphia. = Enlargement of the
heart-the ''athletic heart''-may be re-
duced by simply tapping the spine
with hammer, according to Professor
Meyer Soils Cohen Of this city. He de-
scribed the treatment in the New York
Medical Journal. OF course it should
not be attempted save by physician.
The tapping should be done, he says,
on the ''spinous process of the seventh
cervical vertebra," which in every day
English is the protruding vertebra in
the spine at the bottom of the neck, a
little above the shoulder line
To protect the spine from the direct
shock of the blow Professor Soils
Cohen has usually used rubber eraser
or piece of soft rubber or linoleum
about six inches long. one and half
inches wide and about a quarter Of an
inch thick.
Putting this deadener against the
spine at the point indicated, he gives a
series Of sharp and vigorous blows with
an ordinary hammer that has rubber
tip or with jewelers. hammer. In an
emergency he lays his fingers on the
spine and then beats the fingers with
his fist.
This exercise on the spine is usually
followed, he says, by a contraction Of
the heart and Of the aorta. which lat
ter is the big artery that comes out Of
the top Of the heart and supplies the
entire body with blood.
II have been exciting this reflex" he
says. Tin many cases Of dilated heart

Paris.-The restoration Of Major
Dreyfus to active command in the
French army at this time, when his
country is at war with her arch enemy
must be looked upon as the most COM
plete vindication of the French artil-
lery officer from the charge that at one
time he sold secrets to Germany. The
Dreyfus case has several times excited
France to the verge Of revolution. It
has overthrown ministries, melted anti
Semitic fanaticism and provoked ex-
ytravagant gloridcation Of the army.
Three conditions prevailing in France
in 1894 led to the accusing and con-
demning Of Captain Alfred Dreyfus for
treason on the allegation that he sold
military secrets to the German govern
ment.
The first and underlying cause was q
violent agitation against Jews.
The second was the discovery that
somebody was furnishing information
about army plans to Colonel Schwarz-
koppen, the German military attache in
Paris.
The third was the personal unpopu-
larity of Captain Dreyfus among his
associates Of the general staff.
These things, combined with ready
