Phone tis the newsT O'Brien Quits Job at the Valen tine Hatchery He Can't Keen Self-Respect end Work Under Present Conditions. says Valentine. Xeb., June 29. Martin E O'Brien, superintendent and build er of the state fish hatchery at Val entine, who has been a fish culturist in Nebraska since 1SS3. has tender ed his resignation, with the an nouncement that he has accepted an appointment as superintendent of all the state fish hatcheries in Okla homa. His appointinentment becomes effective September 1. "Recent events have settled the question for me." said Mr. O'Brien in quaking the announcement. "There are manv reasons why I regret leav ing Nebraska, but I feel that I can not remain longer here and retain my self-respect." The event referred to was the ap nnintnient of his brother. W. J. ! O'Brien, long-time superintendent of ! the state hatchery near Gretna, as j superintendent of all the hatcheries in Nebraska. To Be State Superintendent. Mr. O'Brien said he had been elect ed as hatcheries superintendent in Oklahoma early last spring, but gave the commission little encouragement. In July he fulfilled a promise to visit the hatcheries there. He still was ' undecided, he said, although the 1 salary offered was in excess of that j he received in Nebraska. But when he returned home and found that his brother had been given the job of general superintendent here, the fact decided matters for him, he said. "If is net in my nature to be a political' servitor," said Mr. O'Brien. I would rather have the gratitude of Xebraska's sportsmen and lovers j of the out-of-doors than to be pat : t d on the back by all the politicians in ( 'hi istedom." Friends of Mr. O'Brien say his res ignation is not in the nature of an act of revenge, nor a family nuarrel. but an expression of hi 5 feeling that the tate officials have not given his service the recognition it deserves. In Service 50 Years. Mr. O'Brien started his career as fish culfurist in Canada in ISTfi. Last year he completed T0 years of con tinuous service in practical fish hatching. In 1SS3 he built and oper ated the first hatchery in Nebraska. He introduced to Nebraska wateis brook, lake, brown and Lochleven trout, black and rock bass, crappie and ring perch, he states. His greatest achievement was the building of the Valentine hatchery, which with its 22 large ponds ex tending for three miles along a can yon is the larg-st pond hatchery in the country. From these ponds, he states, are produced 7T per cent of all th? fish distributed in Nebraska. Eighteen carloads were shipped from the hatchery in 102C. In 11)2."., after e.-ppr-sit'en which was overcome with th-' r.id of Game Warden J. C. Jenkins, he established th" first trout nursery pond. From tl'.is pond, he states, hundreds of thouranda of the soeeies have been cold water transplanted streams. to Nebraska gion Will Not Hear Roosevelt Knt e Injury Keeps Colonel Away From State Convention at Lincoln. 1 Lincoln, July 29.

I believe that fire is a regrettable accident whicli occurs in the other man's house. I believe that may own house is free from dan ger, although I take no precaution of any kind. If I stopped to think, I would realize that my house is even as other houses are. but it is unnec essary for me to think about such maters. The other man should think deeply. I believe that fires are caused by carelessness, the carelessness of the other man. I believe that I am a privilged character. I may throw matches about, cast away half-lighted cigarette stubs without looking to see here they fall. I believe that I can do such things with impunity. So far I have not been arrested for arson. I believe that the other man is negligent. He is culpable and de serves to suffer losses caused by his own stupidity. A special providence looks after my home and place of business. I believe all thjs, without any guaranty of immunity from the at tack of fire. I have no surety that fate has not nominated me for mem horshin in "the club of other men." But, as I have said, I am a fool. WEALTHY FINANCIER WEDS New York July 28.

Queen Marie, who since King Ferdinand's death, hns given herself up completely to religion, may soon enter a convent, her friends believe, i Since the queen came to Rumania 35 years ago, she has been fascin ated by t he old Rumanian monaster ies and convents, which thf lias help ed from time to time with money and other gifts. She has vifited ali these retreats, which are among the most picturesque in Europe, and i-j fimil iar with their history, architecture and decorations. There is a pretty sixteenth century convent near the queen's castle in Bran, in the bosom of the Carpathian mountains where, since King Ferdin and's illness a year ago, slie has spent much time in meditation, prayer and communicn with the resident nuns. Xow that she must yield the throne and sovereign rights to the regency, some of the queen's friends predict that soem she will join the nuns in this quiet sanctuary, in ' memory cf her husband.
