"Catch a, Tatfex" and you find ornithinic very unpleasant. Proverbial philosophy muit be respected aa tha concentrated wisdom of mans gen aratlona, or aa aa assistance In avoiding thought. And the two proverb fairly repreaent the popular Idea of Tatar. They are the label for the apecles. Just aa an entomologist put a ticket under a beetle and attle It place and significance In the universe. We think of Tatar aa yellow little sav age with high cheek bone, ragged and hungry, swinging curved sword, moving In hordes of devastation, true followers of Tamerlane, who heaped the monument of skulls. The portrait haa become so Axed and definite that It seem a pity to destroy It, for human knowledge hate to be dis turbed. Bui, like most thing fixed and definite, it It already ceasing to be true. The Tatar no longer correspond with popular con ception and the change Is how going on with great rapidity. Yesterday was Sunday. "The rain had fallen, the poet arose,", say Tennyson In on of his domestic pieces. But If the poet had lived In Baku he would have sat In his study and kept his feet dry. it and Work at Bales. For two days and threa night the rain had Indeed fallen, atid all day long I waa wading about in a pitch black slime of water and mud thickened with oil till It wu Just about aa "slab" aa the witches' gruel or the surface of the bottomless pit. It was out at Balakhanl, the largest of the oil field, a few mile from the town the scene, you remember, of the savage en oounter between Tatar and Aremnion workmen lat year, In which 1. 000, chiefly Armenians, are said to have been killed. There 1 saw ' the perpetual work that take no count of Bunday, but goes on con tinually drawing up oil In long thin bucket that drop down Innumerable narrow holes Into the depths of mingled sand and oil and water below. From every derrick the greenish amber fluid poured down open channels and pipes Into reservoirs. The whole country waa splashed with oil. In the great refuse pools women went sludging about, covered only with slime below the waist, but keeping their mouths decently concealed In a fold of their head dress. With ragged cloths they skimmed the surface Of the ponds, and, squeezing the oil Into buckets, they carried it home to cook the dinner, warm til children and light themselves to bed. Dearer of Mohammedans. There were the young barbarians all at the works those Tatars of evil reputation Many Mussulman races are roughly olaasl fled as Tatars, but the Persian workmen are quite distinct and are usually mentioned separately. The Mohammedans of the Caucasus num ber double all the other Inhabitants, Georgians, Russians and Americana put together, but they are far from being all Tatars. The savage and skilful Lesghlans of Daghestsn, for Instance, come of a much more ancient stock, without the smallest relation to Tatars of any kind. i The real Tatars, fhe descendants of Tamerlane's hordes, come now from the ' desert villages of the Baku province, and a few from the deserts across the Caspian, and even from far away Kalsan upon the middle Volga. But though all the tribes and races are as far as possible kept apart in separate barracks and dormitories on 'the oil Hi Ids, they are united as Mussul mans by a common faith and a con a n hatred. They worship the Prophet and they lints the Armenian. No bond of blood could be stronger. Why this hatred should burst out with more virulence at one time than a not bet 1 have not exactly discovered. It la tn calculable ss the oil, which now and again spouts up In a fountain flings tons of machinery, derricks, workmen and all high In the air to destruction. ' (' for the Hatred. Some put down last year's abominations to poverty during strikes, some to the Tatar belief that the government hated the Armenians, some to the belief that the government loved the Armenians, some tn the wave of Pan-Islamlsm which I thought to have stirred the Mohammedan world. All thee things may have combined, and tile shameful fiasco of the Japanese war, revesl'ng the corruption and lnca pacity of the Russian government, gave the opportunity. slut the real cause lies deep In the an- THE VALUE OF CHARCOAL Tew People Know Kow Useful It Is la Preserving Hsaitk And Bsaaty. Oos.k a-.. tft Nearly everybody knows that charcoal 1 ' the safest and moat efficient disinfectant r and purifier In nature, but few realise Its Value when taken Into the. Human system for the same cleansing purposes. Charcoal Is a remedy that the more you take of It the better.

Charcou! effectually clears and Improves the complexion. It whitens the teeth and further act aa a natural and eminently safe cathartic. It absorbs the injurious gases which col lect In the stomach and bowels; It disin fects the mouth and throat from the poison of ratarrh. ' All druggists self charcoal In om. form or another but probably the best charccul and the most for the money Is In Stuart' Charcoal Ixsengei; they are composed of the finest powdered Willow charcoal and other harmless antiseptics In tablet form r rather In the form of large, pleasant tasting losenges, the charcoal being mixed with honey.

Excel lent Workman, patient, sober snd end lessly laborious as the Tatar Is, he found himself no match for a subtle breed of born traffickers, shopkeepers, money lend ers snd exploiters of labor. For a time he looked on Impotently while this mere handful of people not a fifth part of the Caucasian Mussulmans In num berdrove him bit by bit Into a corner. Then he struck out, and struck blindly. The oil fields went up In flame. Balak hanl was strewn with Armenian corpses, Armenian girls disappeared Into harems. Visit tn a Tartar C roes as. From the filth and stench and poverty of the daytime It waa a change to the scene of last night. I had been invited to visit a famous old Tatar of this town a man who by one means or another has fought hla way up' from the trade of street porter to the possession of so many pounds ster ling that it does not matter how many. For there is only a limited amount of fun to be bought here below, and It will not run to 1,000 worth. I think this Tatar's wealth was quoted to m at 6,000,000. but It makes no dif ference. Underbills wealth he has retained the peculiar humor of an Arabian Night porter, and as he speaks one seems to hear the creaking of the porter's shoulder knot. For himself, be Is especially devoted to education, all the more, perhaps, because he cannot write his own name. Mr. Blr- rell la not more enthusiastic for the re ligious and secular Instructions of his peo ple. He ha created the Tatar schools. There were none: within the last year he has founded twelve. There wtl no Tatar newspapers; within the last year he has founded three, or per haps four. There was ho theater In Baku; he has built one. When the people are not too busy fight ing, It Is successful, and all Christians are admitted. For the destitute of his race and for Tatar enterprise there Is no limit to his bounty and adventure. In business, I am told, his tenacity, adroitness and regard less exaction rival any Christian's. Whether It Is true that he also supports a secret army of defense I cannot say The Armenians, too, are said to support a secret army of defense (all armies are defensive),- and I have heard them boast of the batteries of cannon and arsenals of boil ibs which they can bring to bear In the next conflict.' Both armies may be imaginary, though there Is no doubt about the trained bands that- both parties employ for special service. ttaaslana Guard Him. But the Tatar millionaire does not - use even these for his own protection. By mistake I happened to enter his palace by the back door, and there I found a half company of Russian soldiers permanently established as In guard rooms, with bayo nets fixed and rifles loaded. I was shown Into an enormous hall, built arid decorated In the style of the Alhamhra not the Leicester Square place, but the other one. Sealed at little tables all round the walls were the leaders of the Tartar race, assembled In my honor. I did not count them, but think there were about sixty, and each received me In turr with an oriental gravity which I could hardly maintain after the forty-fifth. Dignified and educated men- that might have been citizen of. Paris or Madrid, they were aa different a possible from the Tatar of proverbial philosophy. Many spoke admirable French, some German; one had translated Faust, much of Shake speare and Milton's passage on his blind ness. We passed into a banquet hall, where the long table "groaned," m novelists used to aay, iAt least, the. waiters groaned. One of them staggered under the Weight of a laden silver dish, so vast was it. His arma"qulvered, his knees shook. Hearing his quickened breath apd see ing the sweat start from his forehead, the translator of. Milton and I sprang to his assistance and - saved the palatial carpet from, a disaster that might well have been Irretrievable. .Sentiments of the Speakers. With the hors-doeuvres the speeches be gan... and they lasted till the end of the dinner, which came In four hours. They were devoted entirely to three subjects: First, pruisa of myself, which I mention Without pride, because It was only given me fcr being the first Englishman or even "European" that the Tatars had caught "to represent their cause to Europe," Secondly, the praise of our country for Its service to freedom and Its protection of the oppressed praise which one must lis ten to jvlth mixed feelings of pride and regret. Thirdly, the abominations of the Armenians. Upon those It would be unfair to write while I am atill under the Influence of last night's eloquence. On the other two sub jects I replied In fair German and In French, perhapn the worst to which those walls had over echoed. As night wore on. the toasts to our coun try and my repllea became so frequent that the fwo languages germed to coalesce and formed, I think, a kind of Tatar, which, after all, is only a dialect of Turk ish. Kveryone wen away much pleaded, nd, were I not a very moderate person, t suppose I should know this morning what catching a Tatar really means. . H. W. KEVINSON.

ICE COVERS WINTER RANGE WS YEAR Clearing; f Grassland OsJy Hope that Florkmnstera Have f Avoid lag; Heavy Loss Inr Ins; the Winter. BILLINGS. Mont.. Jan. l-(Speclal.) The weather conditions In northern and eastern Montana have been occasioning apprehension. Sheep men do not ait about the fire counting their spring profits, ln- stesd they are out In the cold and snow. planning, scheming, and directing, en deavoring to get the bands of sheep and the base of feed supply In close proximity. The early snow fails and the changeable weather have made the situation unusually serious. Stock has been suffering and owners are anxious. Sheep can get on for a time with very little food, but there Is a limit of endurance and much deprivation means a dropping off In the amount of ool at the clipping time, as well as loss In the vitality of the sheep. If not much losa of life. Montana Is the greatest sheep producing state In the union and every year some 6, 000,000 sheep are out on the range picking their living from .the rich, dried grasses, watering at the river and creeks, and growing a heavy coat of wool, the chief profit. Under favorable conditions the wethers yield from eight to twelve pounds each, the others somewhat less. Owners of large herds may thus have & neat train, load for summer shipment. Billings is one of the center of this great industry. From here many thousand head of sheep are shipped yearly and an aggre gate of from 13,000,000 to 15,000,000 pounds of wool. The sheep are usually kept In herd of from 2,a to S.000, with two tenders to each herd. These men live In What Is known as sheep wagons, fitted up with a stove, bed and cooking utensils. They often suffer greatlyln their earnest endeavors to care for and protect the sheep under their charge. Faithful dogs, almost as Intelli gent as the herders themselves, do much of the tending, sitting on a hillside with eyes half closed, but all the time on the alert for any danger or unexpected crisis. Food for Weak Sheep. In summer the bands are In what is known aa floating herds, with no perma nent station. Most of the herds of wethers are "floating" during tjie winter, as well, but many of the herder have central sta tions for the weaker ones and food supply. Here the herds may become larger and be divided Into bands of ewes, lambs, and an Invalid band, composed of the weak ones. Little range stock Is kept In any shelter except brush or woods, on account of the alternate heating and chilling and consequent pneumonia. Different care is given to each band, according to Its strength, and the weaker ones are not taken far out to grate. When storm Indi cations are imminent the herds are led to the north or In the face of the threatening storm, so that they will be driven toward the station if a bllzxard swoops down upon them. The first snowfall of the season usually conies early In November, but a -Chinook generally scatters It not many days later. If not, and the snow Is light, the hills are usually bare, and the triangular snowplow will make a path through, the valleys, making them passable and permitting the sheep to feed from hill to hill. In an ex tremity operations are begun on a hilltop and the feed lsllter.ally plowed out. Going round and round, the bis showphiws crowd the snow down to the base, leaving a large feeding ground. Five or slit Inches of snow are desirable, 1f It Is light; the sheep will paw and nose down to the grass and the molBture permits ranging farther from the water supply. A. sheep cannot make any headway through deep snow, how ever, nor is It able to get a footing on a slippery crust, and If the crust allows Its small feet to break through, there Is danger of skinning the legs and disabling many In a short time. Ice Covers Range. But this year the snows were heavy and the early chlnook did not suffice. Unless all the snow goes off a thaw is bad, and the constant thawing and freeilng has become discouraging. The snowfall of the winter, some fifteen Inches In all, melted slowly and settled down on top of the ground In a solid mass of snow and Ice. The chlnook of the early part of January relieved .conditions somewhat. The north west wind, coming warm and dry from the coast stream, bared some of the hilltops. Near the mountains 1t took all of the snow, leaving a clear range, so that within a rtlMtnnre of a few miles there Is bare ground and several Inches of snow, and lucky Is the feeder who has a large range with varied altitude and climate. Over much of the state the few hours of warm weather were not sufficient, the wind WALSH DISGUSTED AT MAYOR gays rtnhlman Has Messed I t Things Nleely Defying: the Slocomb law. Representative Walsh came up from Lin coln at the end of this week's session thoroughly disgusted with the recent action of Mayor Pa hi man In formally command ing the chief of police to violate the Sunday closing law in Omaha. Mr. Walsh said: "It wss very unfortunate, indeed, that the niaycr of Omaha should at this time Issue such an order and make public, the tame as he recently Issued relative to tho opening of saloon In Omaha. His act haa been construed as a defy to the Slocumb law of the state. "Nothing. I think, could have Inspired such an act except by order from the democratic strategy board at Lincoln or having a suspicion that the governor would be friendly to a liberal form of govern ment fur Omaha and South Omaha. ' The mayor by Issuing such an order haa arrogated to himself Hi credit of opening up the saloons for Sunday business. It will take a greit deal of diplomacy on the part of Douglas county's delegation to overcome the evil effect such an order has had on the representatives from ail over the state." CLOTHES LINESARE RAIDED Several Backyards Are Visited by Huarars and Ylgllane Tom. mlltre Arises. Three rlothesllnes of cltlxens In the north west section of the city were stripped of a variegated assortment of wearing apparel Friday night by thieves. 8. E. Ilagan, Mil Ames avenue, lost clothing to the value of 16; Mrs. Minnie ftayles. tut Taylor street had her clothesline robbed of underwear to the value of $S and the thieves stole about ' H worth of clothe from the clothesline of J. W. Toot, 4821 North Twenty-seventh street. It Is reported thst a vigilance com mittee has been organised to deal sum mary Justice to the thieves If thty art , caught I veered and left the prairies and valleys In a Worse condition thsn before with a I hi-., hsrd crust. It will now require a strong warm wind to clear them once more. No sheep can nose Its wny through or snow plow make a feeding ground or reliable path. There is no Indication of a January thaw, the cold weather con tinues steady, and unless a change comes before the heavier snows of the Utter pert of the winter, much of the range will be practically worthies for tha rest of the season, and the sheep owners com pelled. In part at least, to feed their en tire herds until tho spring thaws. The most thrifty sheep owners have food supply for Just such an emergency, but there are other who depend entirely on the range, and It is this clsss which Is In the worst condition. Many a sheep man has lost his entire herd snd "gone broke" by Just such a lack of foresight. In ad dition, so many sheep necessitate a large area of grsting country snd many of the herds were caught far out from the rail roads, from which the feed must be dis tributed. One Man's Experience. The sheep move slowly In the snow and often only a mile or two a day Is covered. Rods had to be plowed for them In places and feed hauled out to the famished stock. Corn wa shipped in from Nebraska, as It was more easily handled, and It was well remarked that some of the sheep saw only the empty sacks. This grain costing $1 per hushel laid down reduces the net Income from the herds, especially when the range has been contracted for in ad vance and the owner obliged to pay for feed they use and feed they cannot use. Charles Baer, probably the largest In dividual aheep owner In the world, said the other day that he was not talking sheep now, that he would wait until spring. Last- year Mr. Baer was assessed for some 80.000 hesd In Rosebud county, Montana. In addition he has herds elsewhere and some 160,000 In Oregon. On the Crow Indtnn reservation he has rented part of the gras ing land and bought surplus hay from the Indians. About S0.000 of his sheep are on this reservation and fortunately part of the range on Prior Creek la free from snow. Owing to Mr. Bner's constant and careful attention his sheep usually come through the winter In good condition, . and never yet In all his years In the sheep business has one of his herders lost his life In a bllzxard. With teams of thoroughbreds at many stations near his grafting country, which can make IK) miles a day he is out with hit men roughing it as only a western stock man can. . If overtaken by nightfall far from camp, blanket and feed for him self and horses, a good warm fur coat, and warm arctics, with the clear, cold heavens for a tent, find him quite as com fortable as elsewhere. Such energy and such management tend toward health and wealth, each well deserved. Herders near the mountains . are easier those In the snow belts are having a hard time. If the weather changes long enough for the present snow fall to go off all will be well. If not the amount of wool "may be considerably lessened at the spring shearing.'

QUEER STCRY OF TWO MISSING RINGS Valaahlea t.ost While Company Is at Arensed of Taking; Them. Harry McKee, stage carpenter for the Little Joker company, occupies the anoma lous position of being a prisoner at bar. who has, to the satisfaction of the offi cials, completely established his Innocence of the charge preferred against him. He Is being held by the United States aulhoritlea In Omaha on a complaint sworn out at Tulsa, Indian Territory, charging him with appropriating a couple of rings belonging to one Dessle Shaw of that place. The evidence la very strong that McKee Is wholly Innocent of the charge. The company waa playing at Tulsa the night of January 4. The statement Is made by Lewis G. Christy, one of the troupe that Just before the performance began at Tulsa a plsno, the property of the Tulsa theater, being used In one of the scenes, was opened by the property man of the theater, and two rings, one a diamond and the other an 'opal ring, were found lying en the keys. The property man handed them to Mr. Christy, presuming that they belonged to some of the women of the troupe. After the performance and, as the company was aboard the car enroute to Oklahoma City, where It was to give Its next performance, Mr. Christy asked If any of the women of the troupe had lost tkelr rings. None of them reported having lost any, and It was not until the arrival of the troupe In Omaha that anything more waa heard of the matter. Warrant le Served. This came about when a warrant was served on McKee at the Boyd theater Fri day afternoon, charging him with the theft of the rings, the warrant being served by Deputy Marshals .Mathews and Moore McKee was taken before United States Commissioner Anderson Friday evening and stoutly denied any knowledge of tha rings and expressed his willingness to go hack to Tulsa At once and face his accusers. The case was continued until Saturday morning, when the story of the rings was told by Mr. Christy, and one of the rings waa turned over without hesitancy to the United States authorities. This was a chip diamond ring, of half carat value, while the other and less valuable opal ring could not be found for the moment, it having been placed In Mr.' Christy's trunk. Mr. Christy said he had the ring, but was unable to And It In time for the morning hearing before Commissioner Anderson. McKee, victim of the charge of theft, es tablished his Innocence of the charge com pletely, but as the complaint lies against him personally he will have to be held until he Is relieved of the charge by the Tulsa accusers. In the meanwhile he was bound over In f900 until the Tulsa parties can be brought here to testify In the case before Commissioner Anderson. The manager of the Little Joker company fur nished bond for McKee. Don't Be Fat. My New Obesity Reducer Quickly Changes Your weignx to nurmsi, Require No Starvation Process and Is Absolutely Safe.
