BUFFALO BILL NOT WORRIED
Scout Quickly Solved the Problem Of
How to Keep Scion Of Royalty
on His Horse.

''In the seventies, when Buffalo Bill
was in his glory as hunter and
scout" n correspondent tells me, II
was ranching out on the great plains
in Colorado, and often heard men talk
of him. The Grand Duke Alexis paid
us flying visit about that time, ac-
companied by train of Russian
grandees, and the United States au-
thorties, who were particularly anx-
ious to do for them as well as possible,
arranged that they should be taken
for great buffalo hunt, and very SEN
sibly put Bill Cody in charge. Bill
gave Alexis his own favorite buffalo
horse to run the game on, and, skilled
hunter as he was, Bill did not take
very long to find them plenty of buf-
falo to chase. Naturally there was
troop Of cavalry along for the pro-
tectlon OF these important visitors, as
the Sioux, Arapahoes and Cheyennes
were then hostile, and keen to take
the scalps of any unlucky white men
they could corral. While the hunt was
In full swing United States cavalry
sergeant came up to Bill and said:
Cap Che wasn't Colonel Cody yeti,
say, Cap, one Of them kings Of yourn
has fell off his horse three times, and
we're afeard he may hurt hisself.

die, and he'll do .'"--Westminster Gu

QUEBEC REALLY FRENCH CITY
People Cling to Language of the Land
of Their Forefathers-LittIe
Noise on the Streets.

Quebec is the seemingly impregnable
stronghold of France in America. 1t is
true that Wolfe defeated Montcalm on
the plains of Abraham, and the British
flag replaced the French ON the CITADEL,
but to all intents and purposes 1t is "
French city still. Four-fifths of the
people are French; French is taught
In the schools, and spoken everywhere.
Quebec is not only different from
cities of the United States, but 1t is ut
terly different from the rest Of Canada.
1t Is much older and looks even older
because it Is built largely of gray.
stone. Quebec thrives and grows, but
not noisily and obviously like other
American cities. The additions are all
so perfectly in harmony with what is
already there that you can scarcely de-
tect them.
Just as the city seems to grow i'm
perceptibly, so it seems to be busy
without being at all noisy or confused.
The narrow streets, many Of them
steep as toboggan slides, are well filed
with people; but the din Of street
noises is strikingly absent. The peo-
pie are soft-voiced and do not shout
about their business; there are few au-
tomobiles, and no street venders. Es-
pecially on Saturday nights you are
struck by the fact that the streets are
packed, and yet almost silent, except
for a low hum Of conversation and
laughter.

Downing street is named after Sir
George Downing, whom Pepys called

was the son Of Puritan gentleman
who had emigrated to Salem, In New
England, was born in 1923 and was sec

1912. Soon nfter this he returned to
England with an accommodating con-
science and boundless ambition. He
got to know the protector, Cromwell,
by whom he was appointed chaplain
to the regiment Of which the regicide,
Colonel Okey, was commander, then he
graduated as scoutmaster general of

II You Gould.

We cannot look into the mind OF
anyone and unerringly see the mo-

knows his motive, and the overruling
mind Of the universe knows the mo-

The wrong judgment Of people does
more harm, causes more suffering,

There is vast deal Of activity In
the world that does not contribute to
any real progress; there is about 1t
only temporal illusion of progress.
Nine-tenths Of our endeavor is Of this

the tenth that is of real value and do
It very slowly and in harmony with

The TRUTH About Taxes

the expenses of regulating the traffic and to
meet as far as possible the maintenance Of
those who become public charges as the re-
suit of intoxicating liquor
These are local matters and the ex-
pense necessarily has to be met by the
local subdivision where the saloons are
located"
'Why should the state rob these COM
munities that need every cent of this Ii
cense taX?"
More than all the money received by the
State or by the City or by the County from
the saloon tax is used to take care of its
victims So that this license money does
not reduce taxes, but the destructive influ-
ences of the saloons increase them. And in
addition to all this, wreck the lives of thous-
ands of men, women and children every
year.
The man who votes wet to save taxes is
being fooled He is being robbed of a
greater amount than he saves, and he is
harming himself and every other resident
of his State. Vote for lower taxes.

Saturday the Busiest Day of
the Season for the Asso-
ciated Charities.
WANTS GIFT TO WE'D

Saturday was one OF the busiest
days OF the season at the Associated
Charities offices. Fifty cases in all
were investigated and most were given
aid. Coal and food were the principal
needs of the applicants.
One of the unusual cases related to
two elderly women who live in a
shack in the northwest part of the
city. An Investigator found nine dogs
and four cows at this place. One Of
the women stated that herself and
companion allowed five of the dogs to
sleep on the bed with them during
the recent very cold nights. that they
might receive the warmth of the
bodies of the animals.
"Our cows have gone dry, just like
Omaha is going to be, and that made
it hard for u.s." jokingly explained
one of the twain.
The women were given coal and
food to tide them over.

statement:

treasurer of Douglas county, at the
county treasurers' convention in
Hastings made the statement that the
various county treasurers over the
state could not make the monthly re-
mittance. as required by State Treas
urer Hall, because they did not have
the efficient men and machinery to
keep up the work and he advised
them not to try it; and. further, said
that the county treasurers in the
larger places, like Lincoln and Omaha,
could do it because they had more
men and better machinery.
81 want to compliment the county
treasurers over the state, because
they have demonstrated the fact that
they are able to prepare their report

three days after the close OF their
months business and because it is OF

MAKING MEN OUT
OF WASTE PAPER
Captain Kline Does 1t Daily
With the Help of a Little
Psychology,
PUTS PRIDE INTO BEGGARs
BY A. R. GROH.

Comes now Captain Kline OF the
Salvation Army and tells me about
"the psychology of the sorting
table" The sorting table is where the
old paper that you give the Army is
sorted into its various grades.
The captain takes waste paper and
waste men and makes salable paper
and new men out of them.
When you throw away old paper or
burn it up you not only waste the
paper, but you waste an opportunity
to rescue a derelict man.
Time after time" says the captain,
81 have seen down-and-out fellows
start on that sorting table and win
back themselves and go out and get
good jobs.
"The psychology of it is that it
makes man feel he is worth some
thing. He may have been living on
charity for months when ! land him
there. Immediately he changes. I
let him know that | pay him just
what he's worth. He's earning his
own way. He's under no obligations.
Cashing Respect.
You'd be surprised to see how they
rise. They get back their self-respect,
They lose the sinking look of the
beggar. At last comes a time when,
after a long sober period. they say
to themselves, Pm fool to be work
ing here for Kline making few dol
lars week. III go out and get good
job. I'll show them I'm as much
man as ever was.
That's just what / want" enthuses
Captain Kline. "1've reused their
pride I've awakened their self-respect.
I've brought back their ambition, their
desire to get ahead in the world.
"It's the sorting table that does it.
could keep those fellows in my in
dustrial home for weeks or months
without anything to do. And they'd
grow worse all the time. They'd ac-
quire habits of laziness that couldn't
be shaken off. They'd lose more and
more of their self-respect, Their am
bition would die.
The Metamorphosis.
"A man goes to the sorting table
a sinking, beaten, discouraged, down
and-out fellow. After few days of
industry and sobriety he begins to
perk up. Good food, sleep, clean
clothes work their changes. Soon he
gets so he looks you in the eye. He
knows he is earning his own way.
gave one of those fellows a new suit
at Christmas. Why. you ought to
see him. He puts that suit on and
he struts out and walks down the
street just as proud as anyone.
"And if ] can just get that man

claimed. You must help him to help
himself first. And then conversion

STEEL MAGNATES
WATCH BERTSCHY
United States Steel Company
Will Send Engineer to Test
New Invention.
G. J. BOONE IS FIRST HERE

An engineer of the American Steel
and Wire company, c. J. Boone, spent
two hours Saturday with A. J. P.
Bertschy, president of the Bertschy
Manufacturing and Engineering COM
pany, investigating the process for
hardening steel, discovered by Mr..
Bertschy.
Description OF the accidental dis
covery of this process was published
in The Bee last Thursday. Mr..
Boone was in Denver on business
En- route east to Worcester, Mass,
he bought copy of The Bee on the
train and happened to read the ar
ticle.
Although in a hurry. he stopped off
here Friday. Unable to see Mr..
Bertschy then, because the latter was
engaged, he remained over day.
He spent two hours at the Bertschy
plant, Twentieth and Harney streets.
He saw an ordinary piece of steel
changed into a cold chisel Of the
greatest hardness and he saw this
used to cut the hardest steel without
any damage to its edge.
Astounds Engineer.
The representative of the great
steel company was astounded. He im-
mediately wired the facts to the gen.
eral Offices and word came back that
another engineer is being sent out
with samples of the company's steel
to be put to the test of the Bertschy
process.
Mr.. Boone declared that the
Bertschy discovery will be of the
greatest value to his company. The
American Steel & Wire company is
one of the companies forming the
United States Steel corporation.
As stated in The Bees article, Mr..
Bertschy discovered way to make
tool steel out of ordinary cold rolled
steel at cost of l-cent pound Cold
rolled steel costs 4 cents a pound
Tool steel costs $3.50 pound.
In other words the Bertschy pro-
cess makes a steel worth $3.50 a
pound at cost Of only S cents a
pound.
The value of such a discovery and
the profound interest of the big steel
companies in it can easily be under
stood.
The process is a secret OF Mr..
Bertschy and his brother, George. A
description of it is written out and
reposes in a salty deposit box since
it was discovered four weeks ago.
