Friendship With Roosevelt.

When Theodore Roosevelt set up his
ranch on the Little Missouri River in
1885 Seth, who lived but sixty miles
away, ran down to see him. There and
then a friendship that was genuine and
permanent began.
In 1910 Seth and his family went to
Europe 1t was not without much
diplomacy on the part OF Mrs. Bullock
that Seth made a few sartorial conces-
sions before embarking on the liner
Cedric. She managed to get him inro a
hard boiled shirt and Eastern shoes, but
he chung to his Stetson so loudly ana
fiercely that he escaped the bowler hat
destined for his sunburned brow.
In London Capt Bullock met Col
Roosevelt again. The Colonel had just
returned from his African explorations.
and he and the Sheriff of Deadwood oId
London to the vast satisfaction of that
city. Likewise they travelled Scotland
together.
Upon his return Seth Bullock had
things to say about Europe
There were plenty OF kings in the at
mosphere in London" said Seth. You'd
had no trouble filling a royal flush at
any time. while four kings would have
been even easier"
Seth Bullock's political views were as
TO the point as his method of dealing
with his enemies.
THE trouble with the average East
erner" said he on one occasion, lis that
he takes too much for granted. The man
who believes everything that is told him
In politics doesn't belong in the game.
Don't count any chickens until they are
Matched and then look out for hawks.
Men who wouldn't lie about anything
else in the world will fool a man in
politics by promising to do things and
then fail to do them"

tanned WILD WEST

Sheriff He Made DeadwOOd
O. Peaceful Village.
ROOSEVELT HIS FRIEND
Europe Looked Like @ Poker
Hand to COnqueror of
Bad Men.

Seth Bullock died yesterday In his
home in Deadwood, S. D., and with his
going fades away one of the last of the
exemplars of the unbranded West that
Bret Harte used to write about. He
was 62 years old, and In those sixty
two years Seth Bullock had crammed
enough excitement to keep a strenuous
fi,mily on Its toes for a century. He
had been sick for several weeks.
He was friend of the late Theodore
Roosevelt, who made him United States
Marshal for South Dakota and whom
he guided through the Bad Lands of the
Black Hills country on horse rustler
chases and other expeditions that re-
quired grit, stamina and nerves that
remained put.
He was as straight, as slender and
as strong as a Saskatchewan spruce and
hc had the speed of a diamond back
RATHER. He looked like what he was.
He was the Fasteners cherished vision
Of what the first Sheriff of Deadwood,
S. D.. ought 10 be and look like. What
the movie hero of Wild West drama
tries to portray Capt. Bullock was and
DID.
He was born in Sandwich, Canada,
just across the river from Detroit. He
made tracks for the West as soon as he
was able to saddle and ride horse.
He dismounted in South Dakota because
the place looked good to him, and In
succession he became miner, prospector
and cattleman. Things becoming a
trife dull, he sought and obtained the
precarious Job of Sheriff of Deadwood.
Stirring Days in DeadwoOd.
L.. &c
formative stage Deadwood had Just as
much respect for laws-whether man
made or heaven inspired-as Seth Bull
lock had for the reputation of the bad
men who were making Deadwood no
place for prohibitionist. About every
thing that laws prohibit nowadays was
a part OF Daadwoods civic programme.
Such rough and ready gents as Big
Bill Cotton. Curley Demond. Scar Face
Wilson and the original Omaha Kid
held sway in Deadwood when Seth
Bullock yearned to install law and order
there. Tucson Tommie McGonnlgal and
Badly Cartaret ran the inevitable FL
Dorado. where roulette. poker. fan tan
and the like were to be had in the big
barroom, and Fanny Fedora, yellow
Katy and similarly jocund ladies held
carnival in the dance hall beyond.
Seth Bullock set forth, an hour after
his election, to get the lay of the lana,
and straightway he opened operations.
1t Is said of him that he arrested thirty
seven bad men that night. using such
measures as beating recalcitrants into
submission with the butt of his gun and
carefully shooting others in those sec
lions of their anatomy that housed no
vital organs. Seth was an instantaneous
success. He dominated Deadwood by be-
coming just a little tougher than any
citizen who was catalogued as tough be-
fore his election. Those yearning for a
fight bRd but to apply to Seth and they
were given complete satisfaction.
Seth managed by these direct methods
to convert Deadwood into as clean a
town as the West of those days boasted
and he had a thoroughly enjoyable time
doing 1t.

DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets

Dr.. Edwards Olive Tablets-the sub

colored tablets are the result Of DR..
Edwards determination not to treat
liver and bowel complaints with calomel.
The pleasant little tablets do the
good that calornel does, but have no
bad after effects. They don't inju-e the
teeth like strong liquids or calomel.
They take hold Of the trouble and
quickly correct it. Why cure the liver
at the expense of the teeth? Calomel
sometimes plays havoc with the gums.
So do strong liquids. 1t is best not to
take calonlel. Let DR.. Edwards Olive
