'Scratch a RumImi and you find a Ta

ornithinic very unpleasant.
Proverbial philosophy muit be respected

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

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.

For two days and threa night the rain

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

' (' 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,

lent Workman, patient, sober snd end
lessly laborious as the Tatar Is, he found
himself no match for a subtle breed of

For a time he looked on Impotently while
this mere handful of people not a fifth

Then he struck out, and struck blindly.
The oil fields went up In flame. Balak

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.

BILLINGS. Mont.. Jan. l-(Speclal.)
The weather conditions In northern and
eastern Montana have been occasioning
apprehension. Sheep men do not ait about

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."

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

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.

not ordinary beer it's different Luxus is the
result of careful study of the true, refined American
taste. We set out to produce the finest beer
brewed and we did it
Luxus is unique in being a lldht beer
lightest brewed in fact vet unqualifiedly satis
fying, because it retains all the nourishment
that modern brewing science can put into beer.
In body and color, Luxus leaves nothing to be
desired while, in life, snap, piquant flavor and
inviting "bouquet" Luxus sets a new and higher
standard for lovers of good beer.
In Cafes, Luxus is popular, being the ideal
refreshment with meals all the "sticky" heaviness
of the barley malt having been refined away in the
brewing all the greenness and "bilious regrets"
having been sterilized and lost in the ageing and
bottling. All the dood left in each bottle.
Luxus is the ideal beer for the home.
Test it today with a cold bottle, and then order a
case sent home from your dealer or direct.
