And the etrange part of it is that no one is buried there except his own victims. There are twenty-eight mhtinds in the cemetery. Under each lies the bones of some bad man who brushed up against Bruner and got the worst of it. When Bruner was marshal the In dian territory was about as wild as a country ever gets. it was filled with horse thieves, cattle thieves, train robbers and desperadoes of all kinds. A law abiding peaceable citizen did not stand much show. Murders were so common that they were not con sidered news. Thefts attracted no at tention whatever except from tho ones who suffered loss. The country was run as near along anarchistic lines as the most ardent anarchist of New York or Madrid could hope. Little atten tion was given to the "consent of the governed.” The desperado with the quickest movement of his shooting hand and the most nerve ruled the roost. That was the condition until Hee Bruner was appointed United States marshal. When lie took charge of the office he decided to revolutionize ^ things aud make Indian territory “a good place to live in.” His friends laughed at him, although they knew he had nerve. To go up against the notorious gangs of the country, they said, was foolishness. It might result in cleaning out a gang or two, but in the end would resfilt. in the marshal being wiped off the map. What was the use to endanger one's own life in order to make trouble for the desper adoes, they would ask. To this Brunei replied that he would drive the open ing wedge toward civilizing the terri tory if it cost hint his life the first day. He Stuck to his resolution, and he did not lose his life, either. But he had several narrow escapes. He was punc tured by bullets until his frame could be "used for a sieve.” and he had his blood spilled in many a fight, but not enough of it at any one time to make him bite the dust. While the desperadoes were making it interest ing for Bruner he was keeping them busy. He was a dead shot, and when ever he pulled the trigger on his man it meant a separation of soul and body. There was no discount on that. Bruner began to hunt down the des peradoes. The first one he killed was buried in a grove south of Tahleqtia'n. The second one was also laid there And so it went unttA the carcasses ol twenty-eight bad mtn who had ruel deatli at the hands of Bruner while lie was acting in the line of duty were buried in that grove. A rail fence was run around the graves and the ceme tery was named "Bruner's graveyard.' Only one grave in the yard is marked with a marble stone. That is the grave of a noted horse thief. His pals chip ped in and bought the tombstone be cause lie was a "good fellow." AT the rest of the graves are marked with wooden slabs. Many of them are in closed with slab fences, while othep are inclosed with rails laid in hog pen fashion. After Bruner got his graveyard pretty well filled up the des peradoes began to realize that tie meant business, and whenever one wouia hear that Bruner wanted him lie would come into town and give himself up rather than run the risk of being tfie next one to occupy space in Bruner's graveyard. From that time on Bruner had an easy time. He had accomplished his object. He had driv on the entering wedge in the civili zation of the toughest country the sun ever shone on.—Kansas City Journal lie Con If! Abbreviate. An amusing story illustrating Brit ish officialism comes from South Af rica, and will bear repeating. The col onel of a pioneer regiment, repairing the railroad after one of Gen. DeWet's many breakages, discovered a line empty house, which he proceeded to occupy as headquarters. When the news of the colonel's comfortable quar ters reached BJoemfontein he received a telegram which read: “G. T. M. wants house.” The colonel was unable to make out what "O. T. M." meant, and inquired of officers, who translated it 'General Traffic Manager.” “All right.” said the colonel. "If he can use hieroglyphics so can I." So ho wired back: ‘‘G. T. M. and O. T. H.” Two days later he received a dispatch from Bloemfontein ordering him to at tend a hoard of inquiry. On appear ing in due course he was asked what lie meant by sending such an insult ing message to a superior officer. “In sulting,” repeated the colonel, inno cently: “it was nothing of the kind.” "But what do you mean," demanded nis superior, "by telling me I ran ‘G. T. H.'?' “It was simply an abbrevia tion," replied the colonel. "G. T. M. (general traffic manager) can G. T. H. (get the house).”—New York Herald. • • ••••• sxsxa a • I Grow Careless § of Danger j ® .............. . • Constant Handling i of Explosives Make | Men Reckless. • • » « • •• • ••• • | •!•>••• "After a miner has handled dyna r mite for eight or ten years without a serious mishap it is a good idea to put him to doing something else about the works,” says one who has had a great deal of experience with high ex plosives. "The chances are 100 to 1 that his long immunity from accident has given him such a contempt for danger that he is an unconscious men ace to everybody on the premises. He will do things that not only imperil his own life, but the lives of his com rades. To give you an illustration. I once had an old Cornishman at work at a mino in which I was in terested and had intrusted him with a general supervision of all the blast ing. He had been handling dynamite for twenty years or more and was just ly regarded as an expert. During the entire period he had never had an ac cident worth speaking of .and by de grees the care and vigilance that were responsible for his excellent record had worn away until he was beginning to entertain the delusion, common to old hands, that the danger of the stuff was much exaggerated. "One day I was passing through a cut where some blasting had been go ing on and noticed the old Cornish man hammering a drill into what seemed to be a boring in the ground. I asked him what he was doing and he told me eooly that there was a cart ridge in the hole that had failed to explode and that he was ‘just knock in' out the tamping to reprinie it. 1 was horrified, for at every blow he was liable to explode the dynamite and T ordered him sternly to stop and never to repeat such a performance. The proper method would have been to have drilled a new hole near by and exploded the first cartridge with a sec ond blast. He obeyed sullenly .grumb ling to himself, and in less than a month afterward was blown up while doing exactly the same thing. He lost his left arm at the shoulder, his left eye and part of his left ear. He al so lost his contempt for dynamite, and when he finally emerged from the hospital I gave him back his former job. 1 never had a more scrupulously careful employe than lie was from that time on. It seems a brutal thing to say, but there is nothing that does an old dynamite hand as much good as to get blown up once or twice.” Weir<l Tale from the I'acIHc I’oant. The Chinese residents of North Ya kima have many sacks of rice supposed to have been poisoned by the officials and missionaries in China. One mer chant has twenty sacks put away, and refuses to eat any or sell to the Chi nese. Those who claim to know say that at least $.‘>00 is invested in pois oned rice in that city. The rice is sold to Americans, but the Chinese purchase their supplies from local merchants. They say that six years after eating the rice the victims die. The object of the poison, it is said, is to kill off all the Chinese in the United States.— Portland Oregonian. ®CSXS®®@X5XjX£)®(*Xs^£XsXsX*)(!Xj)(£X*X£)(*)®®@@£'®(s)®(*X*1(sX^ 1 North and South They Go (• ! hardy Explorers | ’ of Many Countries | !

Lieutenant Peary is now somewhere in the frozen regions and intelligence from him is anxiously awaited. Two European countries are now represented there by Capt. Sverdrup and Baron Toll. Mem bers of one of these expeditions might have already reached the coveted spot. Their return or a report from them is quite certain during the summer. In a short time another American ex pedition will start under command of Evelyn E. Baldwin, who has had a great deal of experience in Arctic ex plorations. William Ziegler of Phila delphia has placed $1,000,000 at the dis posal of Capt. Baldwin and no expense will be spared to insure the success of the undertaking. An expedition is fitting out in Scot land and another in Germany for trips to the Antarctic regions.

Those en gaged in the business have secured canceled stamps of till denominations, washed them clean, regummed them and sold them. Now, however, the treasury chemists have found an olive gray ink for the stamp itself which will fade away if any attempt shall be made to wash out the cancellation mark.

BISHOP HANDY SAYS “I Cheerfully Recommend Peruna to All Who Want a Good Tonic and a Safe Cure for Catarrh.” Prominent members ot the clergy r*o giving Peruna their unqualified en dorsement. These men find Peruna especially adapted to preserve them from catarrh of the vocal organs which has always been the bane of public speakers, and general catarrhal debility incident to the sedentary life of the clergyman. Among the recent utterances of noted clergymen on the cura tive virtues of Peruna is the following one from Bishop James A. Haudy, D. D , of Baltimore: ... — “ / take great pleasure in acknowledging the curative effects of Peruna. At the solicitation of a friend I used your remedy and cheerfully recommend your Peruna to all who want a good Tonic and a safe cure for catarrh.”—James A. Handy. OTHER NOTABLE CURES. A Husband Escaped the Pangs of Catarrh of the Lungs. Most Cases of Incipient Consumption Are Catarrh. Edward Stevens. Mrs. Edward Stevens of Carthage, N. Y., writes as follows: "I now take pleasure in notifying you that my husband has entirely re covered from catarrh, lie is a well man today, thanks to you and Peruna. He took six bottles of your medicine as di rected, and it proved to be just the thing for him. His appetite is good ! and every thing he eats seems to agree with him. His cough has left him and he is gaining in flesh, and seems to be well every way. I hope others will try your medicine and receive the benefits that we have.”—Mrs. Edward Stevens. When the catarrh reaches the throat it is called tonsilttls, or larnygitis. Ca tarrh of the bronchial tubes is called bronchitis; catarrh of the lungs, con sumption. Any internal remedy that will cure catarrh in one location will cure it In any other location. This is why Peruna has become so Justly fatuous in the cure of catarrhal dis eases. It cures catarrh wherever lo cated. Its cureB remain. Peruna does not pallitate; it cures. Mrs. Frederick Williams, President of the South Side Ladies’ Aid Society of Chicago, 111., writes the following weras oi praise i for Peruna from 973 Cuyler ave., Chicago, 111.: ‘ My home is never without Peruna. for 1 have found dur ing the past six years that there is no remedy that will at once alleviate suffer ing and actually f’lTTTTTTlT TTT> ▼▼ TTT» Mrs Fred Williams cure, as feruna does Four bottles completely cured me of catarrh of the head of several years' standing, and if my husband feels badly or either of us catch cold, we at once take Peruna, and in a day or two it has thrown the sickness out of the system.”— Mrs. Frederick Williams Mrs. W.
