Bears, Bobcats and Skip
Glenwood Springs. Colo,
May 2, 1905.
BLESSED KERMIT:
was delighted to get your letter
I am sorry you are having such a hard
time in mathematics, but hope a counle
or weeks will set YOU all right. We
nave had very successful hunt. All
told we have obtained ten bear and
three bobcats. DR.. Lambert has been
perfect trump. He is in the pink
of condition, while for the last week
have been little knocked out by the
Cuban fever. Up to that time was
simply in splendid shape. There is a
very cunning little dog named Skip,
belonging to John Goffs pack, who has
completely adopted me. I think I shall
take him home to Archie. He likes to
ride on DR.. Lambert's horse, or mine
and though he is not as big as Jack,
takes eager part in the fight with every
bear snd bobcat.
l am sure YOU will enjoy your trip
to Deadwood with Seth Bullock, and
as soon as you return from Groton I
shah write to him about it. I have now
become very homesick for mother, and
shall be glad when the 18th of May
comes and / am back in the White
House.
Home Again With Skip
White House. May IA, 1906
DEAR KERMIT:
Here I am back again, and mighty
glad to be back. 1t was perfectly de-
1ightful to see mother and the child
rem, but it made me very homesick
for you. Of course was up to my ears
in work as soon as reached the White
House but in two or three days we
shall be through it and can settle
down into our old routine.
Yesterday afternoon we played ten
mis-, Herbert Knox Smith and beating
Matt and Murray. Today shall take
cunning mother out for ride.
Skip accompanied me to Washing
ton. He is not as yet entirely at home
in the White House and rather clings
to my companionship. I think he will
soon be fond of Archie, who loves him
dearly. Mother is kind to Skip, but
she does not think he is an aristocrat
as Jack is. He is very cunning little
dog all the same
Mother walked with me to church
this morning and both the past
evenings we have been able to go out
into the garden and sit on the stone
benches near the fountain. The
country is too lovely for anything,
everything being a deep rich, fresh
green.
I had a great time in Chicago with
the labor union men. They made what
II regarded as rather insolent demand
upon me, and I gave them some per-
fectly straight talk about their duty
and about the preservation of law and
order. The trouble seems to be in
creasing there, and may have to send
federal troops into the city-though
1 shall not do so unless it is necessary.

COL. DEEDS HEARD FROM AGAIN.

Public memory is noteworthy short and we
expect that good many Of our readers will
hardly remember who Col. Deeds was. He was
chief Of the production division of the aircraft
section Of the army about the time the repub-
lcan politicians in congress were raving over
charges of corruption, graft and ncompetency
in this service. And much Of that criticism
ragged around the devoted head of Col. Deeds.
The charges mostly fell flat after it was shown
that they chiefly came from statements by
disappointed promoter who failed to get orders
and had financial interests in a competing air
plane company However, the president got
Judge Hughes, his former rival for president, to
thoroughly investigate all the charges made He
found very little to criticise or blame the war
department for, but he did find that Col. Deeds
had technically violated some congressional law,
and recommended that he be court-martiaed.
Nothing more was heard of the matter and now
another investigation by congress into air craft
production, the fourteenth, we believe has taken
up the matter and demanded of Secretary Of
War Baker why Col. Deeds was never court
martialed, as recommended in the Hughes re-
port. In reply the secretary Of war sends Con-
gressman Fear chairman of the latest congress
SlOIidI investigating copy I'll IG-
port from Gen. S. T. Ansell, acting judge ad-
vocate general at the time and requests that
he incorporate it in the committees report to
congress. The substance of the report to the
secretary of war by the advocate general to
whom was referred the Hughes recommendation
is that after he had convened a board and made
the most thorough and minute investigation into
all the acts of Col Deeds, he found that there
nothing in the records to Justify any court
martial, but on the contrary Col. Deeds was de-
serving of high praise for his patriotic and eff
ficient service to the nation. The report of Gen.
Anse ends as follows:
"The conclusion Of this office (the Judge ad-
vocate general's) is. therefore, that Colonel Ed
ward Deeds should not be tried by court-martial
on account Of any of the transactions discussed
in this memorandum"
General Ansell, who SO recommended that
Colonel Deeds be not court-martiaed but rather
commended for patriotic service, recently re-
signed from the army and has been retained as
counsel by the house subcommittee to snvesti-
gate the war departments expenditures over
seas. He will 60 abroad with that committee of
which Representative Royal c. Johnson. repub-
lican, Of South Dakota is chairman.

we are in fact passing thru pc

still are those who respect no tax on
food in reference, perhaps to some small
proposal with regard to duties on ten,
but seem unconscious of the fact that
today the international meat pool is
able to tax the important part of our
food supply at its pleasure. The tax
on food is none the less a tax as the

THE TEN PER CENT TIP

plan, what they are getting now" i
This proprietor also believes that such
a system would encourage the poor
waiter and discourage the good ones by
removing competition and permitting
each to receive the same tip. Il imag
inc ALSO" he said, that you could find
the American public inclined to resent
any rule that would specify the size of
the tip it is to give. You might gladly
give one waiter twenty-five per cent of
the check where you would begrudge
another waiter even five per cent"
Another proprietor of very smart
cafe also asserted that he believed the
American public would never be salts
fled with such a system. My experience
has shown that the majority of people
who patronize restaurant Of this kind
like to tip," he declared. They like to
feel that they cen buy good service. In
New York you have to pay for that, and
it usually costs lot more than ten per
cent
In spite of these various views, the
ten per cent tip plan is meeting with
such general approval on the part OF
the public that several smaller cafes
have taken it UP. II popularity is the
basis of money making in the restaurant
business then the new plan is profitable
and stands every chance to survive.

MAX WELLS RANCH.

never be again in the United States.
There are too many people and too little
land. But fifty years ago. Lucien B

the daughter Of its owner. Ihe bound
aries of this grant, as described in the
title. were certain natural objects, one
Of them being an arroyo. or dry water
course. When Maxwell had his ranch
surveyed by the United States govern
ment surveyors. they took the only dry
water course they could conveniently
follow. and SO managed to include IN the
probably not intended by the Spanish
government to be more than hundred
thousand.
On this principality Max veil lived for
many wears in sort of rude baronlai
splendor. He had an enormous adobe
house built around a square courtyard.
Mexican fashion; and here all visitors
were welcome. He maintained a tree
dining room where anyone could eat hls
fill for nothing. He kept many me
horses. and challenged all comers TO
racas unnn which enormous sums were
staked.
Once fastidious young Englishman
insisted upon paying Maxwell for his
breakfast The host at first refused;
but when the guest persisted, Maxwell
permitted him to pay twenty i've doilars
for the meal, and then lit his pipe with
the bunch of bills.
The Maxwell grant is now broken up
into smaller holdings. the Maxwell man
