"Ellswurth!" shouted a brakeman on
the Union Pacific railway, .Kansas divi
Eion, as the train swept through a
prairie valley and slowed up at a sleepy,
cottonwood shaded, prairie encircled
western Kansas town. To the left could
be seen a large and peculiar building,
located on the outskirts of the Tillage.
"What is that building?" I asked of
the gray bearded man who had shared
ray seat for the last 20 miles.
"That is the Grand Army grounds
and building,' he said. "Is belongs to
the old soldiers, and they hold a reunion
there every summer."
"They have picked co. a very quiet
town in which to rendezvous.1'
"Yes, this is a quiet town now, but I
can remember, 30 years ago, when Ells
worth was hell's half acre. Yes, worse
than that, for all the cussedness going"
on in this town-ic the sixties couldn't
have been crowded on to less than hell's
half section. Times was mighty dull in
Ellsworth them days when there wasn't
work for the coroner six days in tho
week, and he generally had to work
overtimo on Sundays. It was the tough
est place on the plains until the rail
road moved on west, and the killers,
toughs, gamblers and their female com
panions followed on to Hays City. Then
the carnival of crime and the contract
for filling the graveyard was transferred
to Hays. But today both towns are as
quiet and orderly as a New England
village. Some cf the bad men of those
days settled here in Ellsworth perma
nently and became quiet citizens after
they became residents of the graveyard
on tho hill yonder.
"Apache Bill, scout and tough, took
up a permanent residence out yonder
because a bartender got the drop on him
one night and added about two ounces
to Bill's weight in the shape of lead
placed where it would do the most good.
Comstock Charley, a half breed Chey
enne scout, tough and general all round
bad man, also became a quiet citizen of
the place where they planted 'em in
those days on account of a puncture put
into him by Henry Whitney, sheriff.
. "Bill Hickok (Wild Bill) gained his
fame at Hays City, west of here, as
also did Jim Curry, who later on shot
and killed Ben Porter, an actor, at Mar
shall, Tex. I knew Jim Curry when he
was an engineer on this read. He be
came enamored cf a woman, married
her, and t jcy settled down in Hays
City, keeping a little restaurant there.
There was a regiment of negro soldiers
quartered at Fort Hays. The negroes
took offense at Jim because he refused
to servo them with meals at his house.
They came around to clean out the
place. Jim wens to shooting, and when
he quit Uncle Sam's army was deci
mated to some cxteut.
"Wild Bill was n nervy man and did
some killing in his day, and he might
have lived longer if he had not grown
careless. You see. Bill, like all men of
his class, was always expecting trouble
and wasalwriysou gnard. Bill for years
had never allowed LimsclE to get into a
position where his keen eye and ready
revolver were net master of the situa
tion, but he did allow the drop to bo
got on him twice to my knowledge. The
first time-1 was present, and the next
time well, Bill was was gone himself
when the second time came to a climax.
1 will tell you the story cf the time
I was present. iow, I never knew Bill
to pull his gun to kill unless it was in
self defense cr there was no other way
to secure tho peace and quiet Bill al
ways hankered for and would have
peaceably if he could, forcibly if he
must. Jim Curry was a coward, but he
was determined to acquire a reputation
as a bad man, and, as Bill Hickok held
the championship of the world at that
time as a killer, Curry thought he
might safely run a bluff on Wild Bill.
"So he sent Bill word he would kill
him on sight, not that he had anything
against Bill, but Curry had gone into
the killing business, and he proposed to
hold tho center of the stage and show
that ho was displaying energy and apt
itude in his business. Bill paid no at
tention to Curry's talk, not considering
him in his class.
"Ono day I met Curry on the street
in Hays. Wo went into a saloon kept
by a little, ncrvou;, excitable German.
Wild Bill's tall form and long, black
hair iGoraed up at a table in the back
part of the room. His back was toward
Curry and myself. Curry walked over
to the table, standing directly behind
Bill. Before any one suspected what he
would do he had his gun against BiII'e
head and said, 'Novr, you long haired
, I've got you, and you're going
to die. Bill never batted an eye nor
moved a muscle, but said, 'You would
not shoot a man down without givin
him a show to defend bis life, would
you?' 4 Wouldn't I? What show did you
ever give any one, you V
"The Dutchman was dancing around
like mad, imploring Jim to put up his
gun and for him and Bill to shake
hands. If they would, he would stand
treat for the house, which proposition
was finally accepted. Wild Bill and
Jim Curry shook hands, after which
Bill said:" 'Now, Jim, I got nothin
ag'in you, and I don't want to kill you,
.but if you are bound to get a reputation
there's a town full of tenderfeet here
and lots of sassy nigger soldiers. Go
practice on them. You'll have to git
mare of 'em to give you a reputation,
and it will take mere time to git thar
than if you held a discussion with ine,
but I think you will live longer to en
joy it and be happier than if you kept
up projectin with me. So now le's jes'
drop this, or I may get the idea into my
head that you're in earnest, and that
might be bad far you.' "Indianapolis

THE SHIP'S -BELL.
li Is Closely Identified WItli the TTtnlt
Career of tke Teasel.
lieutenant John iL Ellicott, U. S.
,N., writes an article for St. Nicholas
on "What Is Told by the Bell," in
which he say?:
.Nothing in a ship becomes so closely
identified with her throughout her
whole career as the ship's belL Officers
and crew come and go; masts, decks,
engines and boilers become old and are
replaced by new ones; but from the day
that she first glides into the water the
same ship's bell remains always a part
of her, marking her progress all over the
world, and finally going down with
her to a lonely grave at the bottom of
the sea, or surviving her as a-cherished
souvenir of her existence and achieve
ments. On a man-of-war the bell is
usually inscribed with her name and
the date of her launching, and as it is
probable that it may some day become
a memento of a glorious history the bell
is often the subject of special care in
casting or selection. Sometimes the
hundreds of workmen who have built
the great ship contribute each a silver
coin to be melted and molded into a
bell, which shall be the token of their
love for the object of their creation and
their interest in her future career. Of
ten the people of the city or state after
which a man-of-war is named may pre
sent to her a magnificent bell, appropri
ately ornamented and inscribed with
words of good will and good wishes.
Such a bell is usually presented with
ceremony after the ship goes into com
mission. Ships' bells in general are made of
bronze, like other bells. The addition
of silver in their composition gives
them a peculiarly clear and musical
tone. They are placed in such a posi
tion on the upper deck that they may
be heard from one end of the ship to
the other and are usually near the
mainmast or at the break of the fore
castle. One peculiarity exists in a ship's
bell which is necessary on account of
her motion at sea. The tongue is hung
so that it can swing in only one direc
tion. If it were not so, the bell would
be continually ring;ng as the ship roll
ed and pitched. The direction in which
the tongue can swing is another impor
tant point. If itwere athwartships, the
bell would ring at every heavy roll of
the ship, and if it were fore and aft the
bell would ring at every deep pitch, so
the direction in which the tongue can
swing is nearly half way around be
tween these two.
OUR BIG BUILDINGS.
For Them TVe Have "o Architectural
Tradition to Guide Us.
To take tho 20 story steel frame
building and think it out for itself is to
begin with that building of Chicago in
which the panels between the uprights
of the steel frame are filled with thin
iron, just as they might have been filled
with pasteboard or leather. Such a
building has no walls. The spaces be
tween the constructional uprights and
horizontals are simply filled, partly
with glass, partly with an opaque
screen. That is the logical beginning of
the new tradition, and if the designers
will take that up and work at it, they
may, in the course of the century, de
velop a new style of architecture. There
is little chance, apparently, of that be
ing done. Instead of that, each designer
is applying to his own tall building the
farms which he finds in bocks or as
used in his own practice on buildings
of a far different character, these previ
ous buildings having been designed
themselves by reference to books rather
than under the sway of tradition.
In short, no man can say that he has
learned cf his predecessors any safe and
certain way of going at his work, and
the consequence is that those conditions
under which alone can the design of
any building be made successful arc
wanting. Since the world began nc
man has ever designed a gcod building
independently of tradition. It is as cer
tain that no man ever will do so as it
is certain that no man will build a good,
swift, large freight carrying ship with
out having consulted the lines cf other
ships not quite so highly developed.
"The Field of Art" in Scribner's.
Youth's Cruelty.
We have the phrase as "tender heart
ed as a child," but in reality nothing is
so hard and cruel as youth. Its judg
ments are inexorable. It confounds the
sinner and the sin. It is impatient and
implacable. Only after one has lived
and suffered and has known the temp
tations and trials of life does one learn
to deal gently with the weaknesses and
faults of his brother man and to throw
about the world the tender and envelop
ing mantle of charity and sympathy.
Surely this broader comprehension
and sympathy is some compensation fa
growing eld. To it may be added the
fact not always appreciated that as one
grows older one enjoys with a cultivat
ed sense many things of which youth is
profoundly ignorant.
The young devour all pleasure with
the indiscriminating appetite of the
farm laborer. The older person chooses
warily, as an epicure selects among the
dishes of a feast. Perhaps the panorama
of life is not less beautiful to the old
than the young.
Only the picture is changed. It is no
longer a gaudy chromo, but an etching.

SEEK FREE DOCTORS.
Queer- SrserieHces la the
PsMis
Dispensaries of Ke-r Tort.
The least hop-' of any change in thi3
charity to ell policy is with those dis
pensaries that arc bountifully endowed.
The leading institution of this class irt
.New York city is located on the west
side, and, in view of its defiant abuse
of all kinds of medical charity, has
earned for irsslf the unenviable sobri
quet of the "diamond dispensary," It
has such a high reputation far the num
ber and pecuniary ability of it3 patients
that it -would appear -a be rather a
credit than a disgrace to receive its out
rageously misdirected charity. Such at
least is the inevitable conclusion that
may be based upon the large average of
well to do peoTjle who claim daily the
benefits of free medical treatment so
lavishly and indiscriminately furnished
to all who apply. Many of these visitors
are from out of town districts and wiD
pay several dollars for car fare, will ask
for a written diagnosis of their disease
and an extra prescription, and will then
complain if they are kept waiting be
yond the time for their return train.
The examining doctor is content to ride
to the dispensary in a horse car; the pa
tient comes and returns in .a cab. It is
no longer a joke to refer to the display
of diamonds or the number of women
clad in sealskins in the patients wait
ing room, nor does it appear to bo un
likely that, in the near future, conven
iences will not be required for checking
bicycles and distributing carriage num
bers in the order of the different ar
rivals. In this connection, the follow
ing description by an eyewitness in the
waiting room of this dispensary may be
interesting:
' 'The reception room held about 200
at a time. Nobody was turned away.
Fully 50 per cent of the applicants were
well dressed, and 10 per cent of them
were finely dressed. Three women wore
fur coats that had not been handed
down from somebody else. There was
an attractive display of fine millinery,
and the men, more than half of them,
bore no evidences of poverty. But all
obtained free treatment supposed to be
given to pauperE 'poor persons. "
Such instances as the following carry
with them their own moral:
' 'During the examination of a dis
pensary patient a roll of bills dropped
from her pecket. The doctor picked it
up and renarked, '.Madam, this is a
free dispensary, and as you are able to
pay a fee f c medical advice I must de
cline to treat you here.' 'Well, 'replied
the woman, 'that money is for some
thing else. You are paid by the city
and must prescribe far me. ' On being
assured that the doctor received no sal
ary from any source, the patient became
indignant and protested that she wns
entitled to attention equally with the
'lady' who had preceded her and from
whom she had rented a house the week
before." Dr. George F. Shrady in
Forum.
How They "Wash.
The hardest worked washerwomen
in the world are the Koreans. They
have to wash about a dozen dresses for
their bus bauds, and inasmuch as every
man wears pantaloons or drawers so
baggy that they come up to his neck
like those of a clown they have plenty
to da The washing is usually done in
cold water and often in running
streams. The clothes are pounded with
paddles until they shine like a shirt
front fresh from a Chinese laundry.
The Japanese rip their garments
apart for every washing, and they iron
, their clothes by spreading them on a
flat board and leaning this up against
the house to dry. The sun takes tho
wrinkles out of the clothes, and some
of them have quite a luster. The Jap
anese woman dees her washing cut of
doors. Her wash tub is not more than
six inches high and is about as big
around as the average dish pan. She
gets the dirt out of the clothes by rub
bing them between her hands. Sho
sometimes uses Japanese soap, which
is full of grease, and works away with
her bare feet. The Chinese girls do
their washing in much the same way.
The washing in Egypt is usually done
by the men. The Egyptian washerman
stands naked on the banks of the Nile
and slaps the wet clothes, with a noise
like the shot of a pistol, on the smooth
stones at the edge of the running water,
and such fellah women as wash pound
the dirt out of their clothes in the same
way.
Frenchwomen pound the dirt out with
paddles, often slamming the clothes up
on stones, as the Egyptians da Ex
change. The Energy of a Cyclone.
The primary cause of the low baro
metric pressure which marks the storm
center and establishes the cyclone is ex
pansion of the air through excess of
temperature. The heated air, rising in
to cold upper regions, has a portion of
its vapor condensed into clouds, and
now a new dynamic factor is added, for
each particle of vapor, in condensing,
gives up its modicum of latent heat
Each pound of vapor thus liberates, ac
cording to Professor Tyn doll's estimate,
enough heat to melt five pounds of cast
iron, so the amount given out where
large masses of cloud are forming must
enormously add to the convection cur
rents of the air, and hence to the strm
developing power of the forming cy
clone. It is doubted whether a storm
could attain, much less continue, the
terrific force of that most dreaded of
winds of temperate zones, the tornado,
without the aid of those great masses of
condensing vapor which always accom
pany it in the form of starmclouds.

The Eaglisk Dislike of Commerce.
We believe that the English, who are
in continental opinion a nation of shop
keepers, are not by instinct or by aspira
tion a trading people at all, or even an
industrial one. They are a seafaring
people by tendency, and as the sea pro
duces nothing they are compelled to
trade, and circumstances have driven,
them into the industrial life, but their
proclivity is toward struggle of any
kind, and not, except as an incident in
that struggle, toward the making of
money. It was quite late in their his
tory that they recognized trading as
theirvocation, and much later stall that
they surrendered the notion that to he
a trader, whether merchant cr manufac
turer or dealer in money, was to be
comparatively a base person. Till with
in the last few years all historians
thought economics rather unworthy
subjects of their pens, and tlie sccial
distinctions drawn against industry
were of the most galling character. In
deed, they have not disappeared yet, the
cqn tempt which was once felt for the
merchant and the banker being still en
tertained for the distributor, though he
often combines both functions. The
great industrial is still hardly reckoned
on a par with the great agriculturist,
and the shopkeeper cf any kind is still
placed far tr low any sort of professional.
Money, it is true, is now almost the
only source of irresponsible power, and
those who possess it begin, like the
powerful in all countries and ages, to
be highly regarded, but the grandson of
a Tottenham Court road peer would
much rather his peerage had been ac
quired in battle or by chicane than out
of a shop, hewever large. Even the cap
tains of industry, who are like the old
barons in many respects, are not thought
of as quite their equals, and the greatest
of railway builders, say the late Mr.
Brassey, is not placed on the level of a
great agriculturist, say the late Mr.
Coke of Norfolk. The state has honored
both, but the popular sentiment, which,,
and not the state, settles what Greeks
are like, condones, rather than delight?
in, the action of the state. The differeace
is disappearing, but it dies hard. Lon
don Spectator.
Edhem Pasha, though a Turk, is far
from being an unspeakable one, if the
reports about him that come from the
war correspondents are to be believed.
They describe the invader cf Thessalyas
a handsome, courteous and well edu
cated man, who looks more than his 45
years because his thick beard, once
glossy black, is now thickly flecked with
gray. He is above middle height, his
nose is straight and rather long, his
gray eyes are large and intelligent, and
his manner is that attractive mingling
of amiability with dignity which is a
not uncommon attribute of the Turk as
seen on ordinary occasions. Edhem does
not strike the superficial observer as a
strong man, but he is a hard worker
and does not spare himself. His talk is
as a rule quiet, and marked by much
refinement, but it grows animated when
a subject kindles his interest, and his
eyes then glow with enthusiasm. It is
difficult to judge of a man's sense of hu
mor through the barriers of a strange
language. His style cf life is simple
and he has none of the oriental love of
display. In character he seems to Le
straightforward and sincere, frank and
truth loving. Trickery, intrigue, di
plomacy and politics alike he appears
to detest. His subordinates and those
who see him most intimately are most
fond of him. New York Times.
