To Benefit Posterity The president's idea of developing the west is decidedly in the interests of the settler and the hotne-RPoker. In his speech nt Ornnd Cunyon, Arizona, lie snid, "Whether it is the forests, the water, the scenery, what ever it is, linndle It so that your children's children will get the benefit We have gotlcn past the stage when we nre to be pardoned it we simply treat any part of our country as something to be skinned for two or three years for the use of the present generation. Apply irrigation under circumstances that will make it of benefit, not tu the ppeculator who hopes to get profit out of it for two or three years, but so that it will be of use to the home-makers to the mini who comes to live and have his children stay after him." . Illegal Fences Must 00 The general land oflieeat Washing ton has issued a peremptory order providing for the tearing down of the fences of stockmen who have illegally strung their wires across the public domain, and for the throwing of such lands open to the public: There has been vigorous fighting against this propo.su! of the government to remove illegal fences since the beginning of President Hoosevelt's administration and in some eases stockmen have defied the government to eject them. Any further evasions of the law w ill bring the offenders before the federal courts. !t is stated that the law will be enforced by the government to the very letter. Bryan and Tribune Don't Agree The esteemed Commoner and the New York Tribune fail to agree on Hon. William J. Stone, newly elected senator from Missouri. Mr. Bryan declares that certain charges in con nection with the Missouri boodling cases which have been made against Mr. Btone are merely the venomous attacks of partisan papers. "O, friends," he says, "it is a pity that all democrats of tlie country and re publicsns as well, could not have heard the speech delivered by Senator Stone of Kansas City." The New York Tribune refers to this same as the "palsy and saliva speech." An extra session of Jhp new c n gross has been agreed upon for early in November. The serjeant-at-arms of the senate has received Instructions to be prepared to receive the senators in tlie eapitol building immediately after election.

"And Simeon wiid he did. " 'Ijeatways.' says he, 'Job don't think he's got it.' And after I had got enough breftth to make it worth while for me to begin, 1 bavs: ' 'Simeon,' I says, 'tell me why.'

" '1 says to him that he mujjt have the shoat, and he soya to me that he like to know what made me think so, and I gays. to him that he must have it cause it wasn t to home.

Then he shook hit head and says to me that he d be darned if he remembered the shoat follerin' of him in, but he'd go an' look. 'So we went over to Job's pigpen, but the shoat wasn't there. We looked high and low all over the premise, but not a sign of a black ihoat was anywhere to be seen. M 'Then T had an idea, and I says to Job, trying to jng his memory, that may In; he had run the shoU over the ridge, down jnto the Pocono country, and soldhnn there, Job scratched his bed and looked more gum fuddled than ever, and by and by he says to me thnt he mowt 'a' done it, but it didn't eeem to him, he says, as if he'd had time to do it and git back home; and he hollers to hia wife and asked her if a black shoat had follered him home last night aud so on over tbt ridge to Pocono. " 'Job's wife she stuck her head out o the door and thunk a while, and then she hollers buck that there watsn t no shoat follered him home last night, neither black or white, and that there hadn t nothin fullered him home since Mode's two sheep had tagged him in, and that was day afore yes teddy, she says.

"The idee that anything could turn up niK-sin in that dees-trie and not be at Job s where it wan ient for, more than I could handle, and I told Simeon that hia ihoat must 'a' been aw allere d up by an earthquake or took wing and flew 'cause I never for a minute thunk that an into 11 feid'rit bear had come along to unsettle thing.

Thief Take Pride In GoiitK Thronffh Somebody's I'oeketn in Deft Manner, We cut society too much on tho square. Perpendicular nnd horizon lal lines do not make the only intel ligent division, Bays a writer in Mc ("lure's. The relationship of Raphael wit h a pick pocket I talked to once is more intimate essentially than it is with some makers of "pictures' nnd molders of "statuary." The thief had been arrested because, having obtained permission to live in New York provided he did not work there, he was caught stenling a watch. "Why did you do it V I asked him. "Well, I'll tell you," he said. "1 simply couldn't help it. Tin no klep tomaniac. It. isn't the stealing I like, but the fun of doing a hard job pret- lily. This is the second turn I've made. The first was like this: I saw a rich, fat man in a crowd, and I noticed that his watch waa hung In a new way, hard to break. My fin gers itched, not for the watch, but to break it off. I moved up, lifted the watch, walked away "with it and then went back and hung the thing on the chain again. This second time some thing like that. I saw a delicate job, tried It, got the watch, and just then the fellow happened to look for the time. He 'hollered,' and a detective nearby pinched me. I don't think I'm what you d call a natural thief, but I like to work with my fingers, and I like the excitement of stealing."
