Henry Beach Noedlmm In Collier's Weekly : "Four kings are pretty hard to beat , " observed Cupt. Seth Bullock In London , "but seven kings ! well , It took T. R. to do It. " Out west Captain Bullock Is called the "original monopolist , " all because , as sheriff of Helena , he enforced with a gun the llrst legal hanging ! In later years ho and young Roosevelt were ranching In the Bad Lands of Dakota , and being only 160 miles apart , they were near neighbors. They : mve been right neighborly ever since. Early In Mr. Roosevelt's last term , Captain Bullock expressed the Inten- : lon of "doing London" with the colonel after he left the white house. T. R. wrote from Egypt reminding Seth of his promise. Seth cabled back , "Coming. " And T. R. cabled , "Hur rah ! " The Joy of the London visit was to see Colonel Roosevelt turn to Captain Bullock with a sigh of relief after precious time spent "Inscribing on" stupid royalties. As It was his habit at the white house , the colonel would sandwich Seth In between a duke and a conservative M. P. at Whltelaw Reid's regal luncheon parties. He would slip out of the house with Cap tain Bullock on one arm and R. J. Cunnlnghame , his safari manager , on the other , and away they would go to see some skins at Ward's or to have a look at Selous' specimens In the Kensington museum. There was so much suggestion about killing in the colonel's London pastimes , that It rather disturbed the president of the Outlook company. And ono afternoon he had to say something. It was the day when the donors of the double- barreled 500-450 Holland rifle had giv en the colonel a luncheon , at which big game hunters were In the ascen dancy and naturalists quite do trop. Then It was that Lawrence F. Abbott gave out a statement , which reads something like this : "Mr. Roosevelt particularly desires his Journey through Africa to be de scribed as a scientific , humanitarian expedition. He did not go there to kill. He shot only to protect human life , notably his own. The result has been nn unrivaled collection of the flora of central Africa , Including two animals never before brought out of the Jun gle. " But to return to the seven kings. They rode , each gorgeously uniformed , In the procession of the late King Ed ward. Ex-President Roosevelt , In eve ning dress and a pained expression , was shut into a closed laudau back of all the kings and princelets and such. Seth Bullock didn't like this a bit , but he could explain It satisfactorily. "I remember , " said he , "bringing a bunch of cowboys to Roosevelt's In auguration. When I got the official program I saw we were way back In the procesh only the Harvard stu dents and some southern republican marching clubs behind us. I knew the boys would kick because they were not up with the band , so I hiked round the white house. You know how T. R. guesses what's In your mind before you have a chance to open your head ? Well , he spoke right up : "I know what you're here for , Seth. But don't you make any kick about your place in the parade. It was arranged for a pur pose. Everybody Is In Washington to see those cowboys. If you were well up In front the people wouldn't stay to see the rest of the procession. You and the bunch are put where you are to hold the crowd. " "That's my explanation of this busi ness hero , " continued Captain Bullock. "They put T. R. back of a Chink and before the girls of the bedchamber at the tall end of the procession Just to hold the crowd ! " The colonel had to wear a dress suit In broad daylight on the big oc casion. He said ho didn't mind ; said he was willing to wear green velvet stockings with gold spangles if It would make anybody happier. But Just the same , he carried his over coat all the day long , praying no doubt that a shower might corno up and af ford him an opportunity to hide his shame. At the dinner which King George gave the night before the funeral In Ireland they would call it a "wake" Mr. Roosevelt and the French pre mier were the only persons present other than kings. Afterward those In attendance on the royalties , with the suits of the special envoys , were Invit ed In to partake of a cold bit and a whisky and soda. That is how wo heard about the seven kings ; how they Indulged In a mad scramble for the private citizen and ( falling naturally Into the French which the diplomatist used ) , "Us so 1'arrachoront. " The Ger man emperor acted as master of ceremonies - monies , making the Introductions , and no king was overlooked. NOT SO UGLY , SAYS POLAlRE. French Dancer Sees Many In New York Less Favored Than She. Now York , June 25. Mile. Polalro , the French dancer , has asked for en lightenment on various matters that have come to her attention In Ameri ca , Including court action threatened to keep her from leaving this country on account of homesickness. "Injunctions ? What are those ? " asks Polalre. "Oh , they no bother me. I'm not scared , or I don't caro. I no caro. I go homo to dear Paree. Yes , Ameri ca Is beautiful and Broadway lovely and the American audiences are ador able. Sometimes I feel I like to kiss every one of thorn , but why was I ad- world ? "I see many uglier people than mo here , or else my mirror llea ; and any how beauty Is only a matter of geog raphy. Suppose my feet are largo ? My style of dancing has a tendency to develop them , and ns for my small waist well , many Americans also are wanting small waists , for my mall every day Is full of letters from wo men asking what to do to reduce their waist line. "While I am called a monstrosity by Mr. Hanuncrsteln In advertising me , the Now York dramatic critics were the llrst to say anything about my feet , but not until after the opening. Then Mr. Hammersteln , ho says , they are all from Missouri , and they must see. Funny , Isn't It ? All the critics came from the same place. I want to go home. I have contracts there to produce a new play entitled "Mloche , " by florton , the author of 'Zaza1 and my , how I want to go ! " HOW ABOUT RACE SUICIDE ? If Colonel Roosevelt Had Seen This Norfolk Incident , Then What ? Had Colonel Roosevelt been stand ing on Norfolk avenue a few days ago , some of his Ideas on "race suicide" would probably have been amended. A woman carrying a heavy bundle under ono arm and a child on the other was slowly making her way up the main street. One little child , just about able to toddle along , was pulling at her skirts , two others , not much older , were wearily making their way behind her. At short Intervals the mother would stop and rest , transfer the bundle to the other arm and change the child's position. Very kindly she patted the cheek of the little child , which seemed tired and wished to be carried. Pa tiently she talked to the other two about making noise and then disap peared down the road. "Colonel Roosevelt Is a great man , and a good one , " said one Norfolk business man who witnessed this scene , "but I know he had no refer ence to this when he advocated race suicide. " , MAY GO TO THE BIG FIGHT. Some of the Norfolk Sports Are Talk ing of Making Trip. Norfolk fight fans are greatly inter ested In the coming Jeffries-Johnson fight and there are probabilities of some of them going to Reno to wit ness the great battle. ' "Is the Jeffries-Johnson fight a frame-up ? " Is the question which many Norfolk people have been discussing , ever since the big fight discussion was commenced. "If Jeffries wins the fight , It's a fake , you can't hurt a negro who won't be Intimidated , " says one Norfolk man. Another says : "Jeffries will win the fight easily. Ho has 'come back' and Is again the Jeffries of old , when he was known as Boiler-maker Jeff. " The Incident of John L. Sullivan be ing declined admission to the Jeffries camp at Reno recently , when Sullivan was turned down because It was re ported he had said the big fight would be a frame-up , 'has put a damper on this discussion and now the local fight fans believe the big mill will be "on the square. " THIS IS HOW DRY KANSAS IS. Keg of Norfolk Beer , Shipped There , Consumed in Five Minutes. Really , Kansas is a dry state. ' A keg of beer was recently shipped from Norfolk to Randolph , Kan. , and five minutes after Us arrival It had disappeared down the dry throats of seven men In a work camp. Recently a man from Kansas en tered a Norfolk saloon and ordered a small keg of beer shipped to Randolph. "You see , " he said to the saloon keeper , "the boys down there are Very dry and I know Just how they would appreciate this beer. " "You should send a large keg , " said the saloonist. "Well , I want to try them out first , and later I may send a half barrel , " was the reply. An acknowledgement of the receipt of the amber colored fluid was re ceived recently by the sender. The letter said : "It only lasted five minutes. Didn't wait even to cool It. " Begin Oklahoma Investigation. Washington , Juno 27. The two In vestigating committees , one appointed in the senate , the other In the house , as a result of Senator Gore's charge of attempted bribery in connection with Indian contracts In Oklahoma are already at their work. There will bo a meeting here today of the senate committee of which Senator Jones of Washington Is chairman. The house committee , It Is said , will meet at a date not yet fixed In Oklahoma City , and while there will Inquire carefully Into the question of misconduct on the part of attorneys In reference to contracts with Indians. Representa tive Burke of South Dakota , chairman of the house committee , is also chair man of the Indian affairs committee which has given hearings on the ques tions of the disposal of the surplus thousands of the five civilized tribes In Oklahoma. Mr. Burke is of the opinion that a visit to the tribes will result In much valuable Information reaching the committee. Expect Good Races. Madison , Neb. , Juno 27. Special to The News : Secretary John Rynear- son of the North Nebraska Short Ship Race circuit says that the race meets will open at Norfolk August 3 , 1910 , the week following at O'Neill , then at Pierce. Nollgh and Crelghton. In addition to the harness races , there will bo running races at O'Neill , No- Ugh and Crelghton. Three hundred dollar purses for all harness races SKQ nnd IJ69 for running races. The closing data of ontrieu U on the , speed program and same can bo had by calling on the local secretaries or Mr. Ryncarson , the circuit secretary. Mr. Ryncarson further stated that he had received a great many letters of Inquiry and calls for programs and there was every Indication of the best speed program and race moots In the history of the association. The West ern Horseman and the Spirit of the West contain the program. Another Dakota Forest Fire. Sturgls , S. D. , June 27 Forest Ranger Smith has been called to the scene of a timber lire In the National reserve. The bla/e started yesterday afternoon. Troops from Fort Meade may bo called out to debt the flames. Henry * Followers. " ( } | v me liberty or give me dentil ! " "Patrick HtMiry was a great man. He has followers hy the thousands. " "Indeed ! Among the orators , states men mid patriots. I nii | > | > o > u > ? " " \Voll. more frequently among the greut mass of mUnwted. " Boston Her nia. The "Long" Slties. The Sltze family was long In person , long drawn out hi speech and eter nally long about doing things. Over miles of pine hills they w ro known as thu "long" SItzea. Miss tydla , the eldest , went to a crossroads store to buy Christmas presents. In the course of a half hour she became Interested In some blue and scarlet petticoats. "I'll take one of these petticoats , " she said , slowly counting out the price. The busy proprietor wrapped up the parcel and handed It over with a po lite "Something pise ? " "I'll take another petticoat. " He did up a second bundle , took her carefully counted money and was turning to the next impatient custom er. "I'll take another petticoat , " came the slow drawl. This went on to the seventh time. The man , being up to his ears In work , ventured a question : "Buying for the neighborhood , Miss Lydla ? " "I'm buying two apiece for my sis ters. " "How many slaters have you ? " "Nine. " Youth's Companion. Didn't Cut the Ace. The greatest delight of Pat Sheedy , according to a friend of the famous gambler , was to "double cross" the crooked card sharks. "Sheedy once strolled Into a tough gambling resort In the west where he was not known and stood watching the games , " the friend relates. "One of the dealers was 'spieling' to several countrymen and had about convinced them to take a chance at his game. " 'I'll bet you 2 to 1 that I can shuf fle the deck and cut the ace of hearts the first time , ' he announced. " 'I'll take $50 of that If you'll let mo shufllc the cards. ' Pat said. "The dealer agreed , and the money was staked. The countrymen also made small bets. " 'Are you satisfied ? ' the dealer ask ed when the cards were shuttled. 'The proposition Is that I am to cut the ace of hearts the llrst cut. ' "Every one agreed. Then the dealer he was a tough one whipped out a big hunting knife and slushed the deck In two. But he didn't take the money. Sheedy had palmed the ace of hearts while shuttling the cards. " Tuning a Bell. No matter how great may be the care taken In making the mold , a bell has to be tuned before It will ring a clear , true note. As u matter of fact , every bell sounds Qve notes , all of which must blend together harmo niously. If one Is the least bit out the tone will be spoiled. The first of these notes Is produced by the vibra tions at the mouth of the bell , the second end by the vibrations a little higher up , the third still higher up , and so on to the fifth , which Is produced quite near the top. As the character of the sound which rings depends upon the thickness of the metal. It Is possible , by taking thin shavings from various places In the Inside of the bell , to alter the flvo notes until they are all In harmony. Name to Fit the Trade. Old newspapers give us many In stances of men's names fitting their callings. Thus we have Last , a shoe maker of Exeter , and Treadway , who piled the same trade In Hammer- smith. There was a Bristol schoolmaster - master mimed Rod. Dodge and Wynne , attorneys ut law of Liverpool , must have been the butts of their fellow townsmen , while few could have a more appropriate name than the Primitive Methodist preacher Rlv er Jordan. 1-omlon Chronicle.

Umplro Koor- her Immediately announced It a "foul" and the mayor and himself then rot I rod and the game was on Clerks Win the First. The first game was easily won hy the dorks who handed the railroad ers a goose egg , defeating them by a score of 10 to 0. It was n one-sided game but many of the railroaders showed good material and a little more practice will put them Into fine condition , and the clerks are promised a more entertaining game of ball at their hands later In the season. John son for the clerks pitched n beautl fill game , striking out cloven men and allowing but one short hit. Ho also featured for the eleiks with enl > three times up , getting thrt > o hits , two of them three-baggers , and allowing but one man a base on balls. He also brought In three runs for the clerks Brueggcmiin was also handy with the bat and lammed out a three-bagger Gllssman , Clark and Schelly tied each a two-bagger to their record. Bltney , although allowing but ono man bases on balls , was easily found In the third , fourth and sixth Innings. His sup port was poor and the many errors are accountable for the shut out. The efforts on the part of the railroaders to smoke in at least one score kept the fans In a constant uproar. Firemen Beat Travelers. Luck was against the men of the grip In their first game of the cltj league series. While endeavoring to catch a high foul , McMasters , the star catcher for the traveling men , sprain cd his ankle and thus crippled his team , who , also handicapped by a tired pitcher , were easy money for the firemen , 11 to 2. It looked like a big league game and for a time threatened to be of more interest than the previous game. In the fifth Inning the score stood 2 and 1 In favor of the firemen and the traveling men fighting hard to tie the score. With a man on third and one on second Hauptli's sacrifice to short to putting him out on llrst brought In Monroe on McMaster's error , the back stop being gone the ball flew back to the grandstand. Then Pollard's error helped the firemen bring In Lucas. McMasters Sprained Ankle. McMasters was then Injured and the travelers were gone , the firemen bat ting all around. Kelloher pitched a fine game and his support was good. Dahm , whose crippled leg handicapped him , was the cause of the travelers' defeat. The score : Traveling Men AB. R. H. PO. A. E.
