"HERO SUITS ME"
"Nick Carter" la in ton. He sign the
hotel register at the Taxton an coming
from Iiuenns Ayr, but claims American
nativity. Thickset and btoad-shouldrr.-d, ;
with a keen eya and a small mustache, he I
looks the part of the famous sleuth of I
nickel romance and has on frequent oica- I
slnns enjoyed himself at the expense Of ;
local detectives by Interfering; In their sf- j
fslr with the pretended methods of an I
expert. Kverybndv believes 111 ''Nick far- j
ter" nnd tlie name has led lis bearer Into
many entanglement". An a matter of gne
olosy his real name Ik Oeorns U Carter.
Years ago he was Riven the "Nick" name
and has worn It faithfully all over the
world.
"In Iondon," said Mr. Carter, "where I
visited Just before coming home after land
Ine; 1n Liverpool from Buenos Ayres. the
name wasn't much of a protection. A Lon
don confidence man sot hold of me and did
hla bent to work me for .300. He or his
Rang had been working the town too well,
though, and 1 beard of a case Just a day
pr so before he sprang his proposition on
me which made me wis and I didn't fall
for it.
"A man coming from Buenoa Arras la not
fresh from the country, you know. I went
down there from the United States five
years asro. I found that the city of Iluenos
Ayres has 1,500,000 of people and Is modern
in every way. Of courBe It isn't .so .swift
as New York, which Is the mont modern
city in the world, but It Is a great town.
"Down there a man who has any 'savvy'
and enough sense to take his chances in
the threshing camps for the money there
Is In It can make a lot In a very short
time. I went out among the Italians and
Hpanlah peons when I first went town
there, when I didn't know either language,
ate with them and lived with them. They
got about $1.60 a day. Any man who had
'savvy' enough to manage them and over
see the work was worth as much as $50 a
day to the company. I found Jobs that
paid that, and as a man goea down there
for the money and nothing else he can
stand living like an Indian for a while.
"If a Wonderful country, anyway. They
can raise as good or better wheat and corn
than Nebraska, and when a man owns land
down there he usually owns 50,000 or 100,000
i acres. Just recently they have taken to
raising alfalfa, which they can sell for 130
a ton. Besides being an easy crop It
doesn't suffer from the grasshoppers, which
come In swarms some years and clean up
everything, even the willow trees, but leave
the alfalfa alone. They don't seam to
like It."
After he has seen the world and bought
a few American farms with the money he
made during his farewell week among the
peons VNIck" la going the rest of the way
around the world and. then go back.
"Oh, yea. It'a a great country," he said.
"But It la considered worth $10 a day Just
for a white man to live in one of those
peon camps If he is doing nothing but
standing the grub and. the beds, so gome
people might not Ilka It." . y

Dr. Woods Hutchinson. In Hampton's
Magazine, discusses the "Diseases of Civili
sation" and punctures many popular beliefs. '
He says that nothing; Is more dangerou .
than strict logic, which Is not quite sure of;
Its premises, and so "some of the most j
damnable errors of history have been per
fectly sound, logical conclusions from data ,
which everybody knew to be sound nnd no !
one even doubted, but which afterward
turned out to be false." Hence, It Is easy i
enough to construct a prognostic for any I
dispose "which will be perfectly logical and
absolutely appalling." for all that Is needed
is to show by vital statistics that some
particular tisoune Is increasing at a cer
tain rate per annum, a rate greater than !
the rate of Increase of the race, and, there-1
fore, by virtue of the showing of these
statistics, extermination is assured within I
so many years or decades.
Dr. Hutchinson asserts that there Is no I
valid proof that any disease Is any more
prevalent now than It was fifty or five
hundred years ago, and there Ib no positive
proof of the origin of a single new serious:
disease since the dawn of recorded history.
Seventy per cent of all the serious diseases
of today were known to the Greeks, and
probably to the Egyptians. Indeed:
"The probability Is that nearly half of
the remainder were also In existence then,
though liriKht's disease, for Instance, was
only clearly recognised and traced to Us
anatomical cause, the kidney, some eighty
years ago, by Dr. Richard Bright of Uuy'ai
hospital, London, whose name It now bears.
It had certainly existed for centuries, and I
probably for two or three thousand years!
before that. Obviously, any statement as to!
ItS helnif more nr Iphr rnlr.nmn In tha nln- I
teenth century than, say, the fourteenth
can be nothing better than the merest
guess."
Bright's disease, the writer asserts, fur-
Inishes a very pretty illustration of the way
in which diseases "Increase In modern
times, "and are manufactured by the very J
means devised for their recognition." Pos-1
sibly the rapid recent Increase In frequency
and fatality of Bright's disease has run '
parallel with and been chiefly due to a
harmless and wholesome phenomenon, the
spread of the habit of life insurance and
the consequent frequent examinations for
albumen.
The same Is true, the writer asserts, of
heart disease and tuberculosis, and he
acknowledges that the careful physical
examination set on foot by the Insurance
companies has been of great hygienic value,
pronllng thousands of valuable lives and
saving thousands by warning them of their
danger In time to be cured.
It Is singular what can be made to ap
pear from "unimpeachable vital statis
tics" taken from the record of certain
cities and areas In the United States. Ac
cording to these statistics, Bright's disease
has increased 135 per cent during the last
fifteen years.
"As the rate of Increase of the community
from natural causes during the same time
has only been 15 per cent. It la perfectly
obvious that It can only be a matter of
five or six decades before we shall be dead
of Bright' disease."
Another statistician has Incautiously
taken up another disease which he regards
as a menace to the future of the race in
sanity. Applying the same formula, he
asserts that at the' present rate of Increase
every American-born citlren will have be
come Insane by 1069, "forgetting that at
least one-half of us are to be dead ' of
Bright' disease before that time." Dr.
Hutchinson adds:
"When you come to consider the claims
aa race exterminators of .nearly a dozen
equally-to-be-dreaded pathologic perils, such
aa appendicitis, cancer, heart disease,
tuberculosis, alcoholism, meat eating,
cigarettes, race suicide, sugar and syphilis,
it Is obvious that within half a century
there will not be enough human beings left
to go round among the diseases, and fur
nish one meal a day to each. So that the
process finally landa us In the consoling
conclusion that Just as surely as the human
race becomes extinct so will the diseases,
for lack of anything to feed upon; and,
perhaps, the second conclusion may go
ahead of the first. Certainly we are at
liberty to take our choice between them
and believe as we generally do in matters
of loglo and conviction whichever of the
two we personally prefer."
Dr. Hutchinson shows what medical sci
ence is doing In relief of Bright' disease,
which nowadays does not Inspire the terror
of former years. In many cases by rational
methods holding It In check for year or
even decades. Although there 1 yet no
positive cure for BrlgTif disease, still
there are so many ways of palliating Its
symptoms and delaying Its course that the
outlook for the sufferer 1 good.
The chief cause of Bright disease and
renal disturbances, according to tha writer,
apart from the necessary wear and tear
of life, are muscular overwork for long
hours, the attack of Infectious diseases and
the use of alcohol, all of which, he says,
are entirely preventable, and In fact are
being rapidly prevented by Industrial legis
lation, by sanitary Improvements, and by
the growth of temperance and self-restraint.
In other words:
"Civilisation is curing, and will continue
to cure, the diseases which It baa helped
to cause."

Colonel WUllam Jennings Bryan belonrs
to the rank of pioneers. For the last two
or three year new settlers have been

of Texas In great number. The .new

ers that Is transforming the vast areas of
the southwest Into gardens of production.
It was following In the wake of this tide
' vt homeeeekers' travel that took Colonel
, Krynn to that section about two years ago.
; Although he found the crudities that at
! tend the first stages of development of a
j wilderness territory, he was so Impressed
I with the wonderful possibilities of the
, soil, the equableness of the climate and the
many other element that through process
of development go to make up an ideal
location for a home, that he determined
to live In that section during a part of each
year.
Acting on this resolve, he purchased a
tract of I acres of land and haa alnce
then devoted much of his time to tmprov
ing tt and putting it under cultivation.
When he acquired thi farming tract the
land wa all densely covered with chapar
ral. It la well watered, however, by an
irrigation canal, who lateral reach every
part of th land. It haa been on of the

POOR NELLY BLY IS STUNG
Newly Acqnlred Haabnnd Give Her
a Cold shake In Minne
apolis. Radiant in a deep pink kimona of weird
oriental, design. Airs. Albert Dundee, form
erly Klizabeth Cochrane Seaman, a bride, of
three weeks, who sixteen years ago became
world famous as the globe-trotting Nellie
Bly, vowed a vengeance akin to a Corsican
oath In her apartments at the Carleton
hotel in Minneapolis when Informed by. a
reporter that her husband appeared to be
already the husband of another.
Dundee, who was a sort of sign painter,
48 year old, got Into comunlcatlon with
the former Nellie Bly through the agency
of a matrimonal bureau. Repeated and In
sistent Inquiries by mall as to whether h
was possessed of funds brought the infor
mation that she was.
Together they came to Minneapolis,
stayed a few day at the Hotel Raddlson
at her expense, and then moved to the
Carleton. There, after a few days, Dundee,
she says began to puck up. Clandestinely,
she asserts, he packed up her good as well
a his.
A son In the Philippines had sent her
numerous works of native Filipino and
Japanese art, rare and costly. Included In
them were beautifully carved ivory card
cases, purses, etc. Moving day was Satur
day, and it came without Dundee even say
ing good-bye. she says. Hi trunk re
mained at 1022 Hawthorn avenue, where he
explained, on paying his arrears in room
rent with a check given him by Mrs. Dun
See No. 2. that he was to engage In th
moving picture business in St. raul.
"I was lonesome and was coming to a
time In my life when I felt the need of
otimpanshlp," said Mrs; Dundee, In attempt
ing to explain why she rushed headlong
Into the alliance. "He Is even illiterate,
short of stature and not prepossessing in
appearance in any way. He even talks un
Biammaltcally. 1 have had experience with
men and I am shocked at myself that I
could be cheateU In this way. But I will
follow him wherever lie goes and see that
he Is punished. I told him that I had suf
ficient income for my own needs and some
besides. Tart of It come from my son In
the Philippines."
"Nelly Bly," whose baptismal nam wa
.Jane Elizabeth Pink Cochran, first come
Into prominence in New York In 177,
where she went from Pittsburg, where
she wrote for newspapers and had herself
placed In an Inrane asylum.
l.'pon her release she exposed such
shocking disregard for public right in the
management of the Institution that 13,000,
000 was appropriated for the benefit of th
Insane poor.
Her next adventure was a trip around
the world, starting in the fall of WO and
returning early In 130, completing th
Journey in seventy-two days, sis hour,
eleven minutes and fourteen seconds, and
beating by more than seven day the fa
mous tour described by Jule Verne, whom
she visited In Amiens whil traveling
through Prance.
In 1814 Miss Cochrane created a rensa-
tlon by announcing her engagement to
Robert Seaman, multimillionaire, president
of the Iron Clad Manufacturing company,
of New York, who was then roor than 70
year old.
Mr. Boanuva wa Intensely jealous of hi
young wife and had bar ahadowed by de
tectives, on of whom brought suit for sal
ary. Mrs. Seaman had another arrested
for annoying her.
At the time of Seaman' death, about
even year a ago, Mrs. Seaman was at his
betlajde.

HE LOVES TO BE ALONE
Dlaeovery and Vlalt to at Modern'
Crusoe oa South Parlflo
Island.
About tC mile south of New Zealand
U Macquarle island and on it there was
and may b now a man of over CO year.
who mad a choice of solitude, sea ele
phants, and Jenquins, and became a volun
tary Crusoe. Captain J. K. Davis on the
Nimrod, under Instructions from Lieuten
ant Shackleton to locate Islands In the
South Pacific, found him. but was unable
to persuade him to depart. Presumably
he remain now th sol Inhabitant of an
island domain. ,
Captain Davis' account of the Crusoe
by choice wa given In th Geographical
Journal and I reproduced In th ourrent
bulletin of th American Geographical so
ciety. A party landing from the Nimrod
found the remain of two hut In a
wretched condition, evidently dating back
to th day of th sealers, numbers of sea
elephant and a penquln rookery, but no
other signs of life. Th following day,
teaming northward along th coast and
fairly close to th shore,, tha explorers
came on two more hut and could see a
man standing in th door of ono. "A
boat wa lowered amid great excitement."
Captain Davis wrote. Ther wa a big
Firf, bat tb ntan cam to th shore,
pointed out the best landing place, and,
walking Into the water, helped to beach
the boat. He was found to be a sailor by
the name of McKlbben. He had spent
twenty years In the British navy, he had
been to the Arctic ocean on a relief ves
sel and he had been on oil ships. He had
come to Macquarle island on a schooner
to collect sea elephant oil and had de
cided to remain. His companion en
deavored to dissuade him, but he was ob
stinate. Stores were left for him and the
schooner returned to New Zealand.
Captain Davis found him comfortably
housed. His hut had two rooms and each
room had a stove. He had plenty of ship
store and for fresh meats he used the
hearts and tongues of sea elephants. He
carried his coal from Its depot four miles
away. The men of the Nimrod endeavored
to persuade him to return with them but
he refused.
"Why should IT" he asked. "I'm happy
enough here and I have all I want. I'm
glad to have seen you, but I don't want to
leave the Island."
"A we steamed away," Captain Davis
wrote, "we dipped our flag to the old man,
who waved farewell to us from the beach.''
Presumably he ha been visited since
then. The oil schooner was due for an
other visit to the" Island and MacKlbben
may have tired of solitude and sea ele
phant or he may not. Chicago Tribune.
