Bullock and Seven Kings.
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 ,

tions of the disposal of the surplus

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.

City League Has Started.
Over 200 baseball fans cheered Mayor
John Friday at the driving park when
he pitched the first ball In the city
IcHguo series which set the machinery
of the league's season In operation.
Councilman John Kocrber of the
Fourth ward umpired for the llrst hall ,
which with a number of signals from
the mayor was sent straight toward
the middle of the. plate where Footo ,
the llrst man up to bat for the rail
road men's team , i-onnectod with It ,
knocking a high one. 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.

New Garage at Gregory.
Gregory , S. D. , Juno 27. Special to
The News : The new largo garage of
the Gregory Auto company was com
pleted sufficiently to allow the com
pany to begin operations , though the
greater part of the machinery to be
Installed In the new garage has not
yet arrived. The company now has
been doing business for about two
weeks , and have never had time to
install what machinery they have re
ceived. There have been from seven
to twenty machines In the garage fey
repairs , of one sort or another , at
any one time since they opened for
business. The great volume or the
business they are receiving was , and
is , a surprise to everyone. Mr. Web
ber , a thoroughly experienced machin
ist , mechanic and automobile con-
structlonlst , Is In charge. He has
been In the business from Itsvery ,
beginning In Germany some thirteen
years ago. Ho has been In America
only four years , but has worked In
many of the different factories in this
country In that time , in order to fa
miliarize himself with American cars.
The new garage is perhaps the larg
est In the state west of the Missouri
river and when equipped with the ma
chinery to be installed will be the best
equipped garage In the northwest.
There are a large number of cars
of all different makes In Gregory , so
that a certain proportion of them are
always In need of repairing.
