"Washington Evening Star., "Judge a man's character by lead pen cils?" repeated a drummer In an up-town hotel recently. "That's a new standard; go on." "By lead pencils," continued an elder ly man, with a benevolent countenance and evidently a plethoric bank account. "I am the head of one of the largest re tall houses In Chicago. I was formerly manager of the concern and I hired all of its employes. I soon became used to sizing up men, young and old, for what I say does not apply to. "women; because they don't carry pencils. "Human nature, I soon found, .runs in regular channels, and the .man who catches on to the courses of these, chan nels Is not going to be so very much fooled by his fellow men. even though the latter may conceal their characteristics artfully or Innocently. One day while an applicant for a place stood before me' I asked him to lend roe hia pencil. He pro duced one so neatly sharpened at both ends that I gave him a second glance and saw that his appearance, though his clothing was not new, accorded with the exactness shown in the neat, sharp pencil points. I engaged him, and today he is the assistant manager ot our store. "That gave me a new Idea. I would ask apUcants to lend me a pencil. Men who carried scrappy blt of pencil, dull and nn sha.l,nea or bitten off at the ends, as a ru'.o l found to show other external evi dences of possessing characteristics which negatived their engagement. I found that men who kept about them wen-sharpened pencils were, as a rule, good mathemati cians, were handy with their pen, wrote a good hand, were neat in their habits and were otherwise superior to the other fel lows. "I won't say that the lead pencil test of a man's nature proves anything definite as regards Ins honesty, but it will show; a good line on his characteristics, and this class of men are usually more honest and certainly more, scrupulous and exact than the chaps who carry pencils, that can't be Used until you go thrpugh the' tiresome process of getting out your own knife and putting a point yourself upon tho lead." Chinese Gamblers Arrested. A midnight raid of the Chinese gambling dens was made last nlcht bv Officers Vaughn and Carpenter and nine Celestials were placed under arrest. Their ball was nxea at iu eacn ana promptly furnished. Chief Hunt has taken a determined stand against gambling of all kinds, so long as It Is the policy of the administration to suppress gambling, and his action last nignt was in persuaaco of this pnllc. NO BOORS IN SERVICE CAPTAIN OF RBVEXX7E CUTTER IS TAUGHT A DESERVED LESSO.. Cocrt-Martlal Ends, Temi.ornrll'r nt Least, the Ofllclal Usefulness of a Blackguard In the Xuvy. Captain William H. Cushlng, of the revenue cutter service, was found guilty on charges of conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman by the court martial convened here early In the month, 'says the San Francisco Chronicle. This announcement will be, made from the Treasury Department In Washington to day. The findings have been approved by Captain C. F. Shoemaker. Chief of the Service, and by Assistant Secretary Spauidlng, as has the sentence) which the court-martial passed. On several occasions; according to the complaint and the testimony of wit nesses before the court-martial, the portly commander of. the little revenue tug Golden Gate failed to emulate Lord Chesterfield, and he Is even mentioned In certain portions of the affidavit as a .blackguard. In a general way It was Intimated that Callfornlans do not like to have Government employes push them around and bombard them with vile epithets, even though the employe- may be trimmed In gold lace. Captain Cush lng, Too, failed to use good Judgment In selecting as tho scene of his operations against the civilian the deck of an Eng- llsh steamer, crowded with visitors, and from later develop'menjs It seems his choice of a subject for attack was equally Ill-ad vised. It Is understood that Cush ing's punishment is to be severe suspen sion without pay for a year at least, it is said. This will give him ample time for thought. Late last November, owing to the dis courteous treatment of several -newspaper-representatives by Cushlng, and un complimentary allusions made by him to the Customs authorities at this port, it came within the line of duty of Sur veyor of Customs Joseph S. Spear, Jr., to report the navigator of the lug to the Secretary of the Treasury. In making the charges,-' according to 'the rules of the service, he' had to serve Cushlng with a' copy. By this time the cable ship Silvcrtown came into port, and on December 10 Cushlng and Spear met on board in the crowd of President -Mackay's reception. Spear was accompanied by his wife, Cushlng was In the full-dress gold-laced uniform of his rank, and the crowd In which they met contained many ladles. Cushlng forced his way -up to Spear and said In a loud, offensive tone: "I rc cclyed your letter from the Department this morning;" Spe.ar' replied that it was neither the time jot place for a discus sion of the matter, and he would be pleased to see Cushlng at the Custom house during business hours if he desired to make a statement. The fact that they were guests of a prlvato citizen on board a ship flying the British flag; that they were sur rounded by ladies, and that one of them was the wife of tho man against whom ho had the 111 feeling, did not deter Cushlng an Instant. With the courage of a Nelson, he "rooted"' his shoulder Into Spear, sending that astonished officer- several feet backward Into the crowd with such force that he lost his balance and In his flounderlngs collided forcibly with several people. As Spear was - attempting to recover himself Cushlng exclaimed in a toner loud enough to reach the maintop, "I'll fix you when we get on shore," clinching tho remark with several adjectives usually represented in print by dashes. This was the shoal-on which the Cush lng craft came to grief. Beforo another official "day lias sped, a report that would curl hair went on from the Sur veyor's offlce to the Secretary of the Treasury, arid within two weeks a court martial was ordered, the board con 'stating of Captain F. M .Munger. W. C Coulsen and C. H. McLellan. with Lieu tenant F. M. Dunwoody as recorder and Lieutenant Charles E. Johnston as Judge Advocate. 'Cashing, who had been re lieved fronv duty, was on the grill for several days and then tho findings of the court, -under seal, were transmitted to the Secretary of the Treasury. It devel oped that the witnesses who testified to Cushlng's good character were all his personal friends or those who had been favored by him lh being taken around the bay on the Golden Gate, a craft which even the Collector of Customs, the high est local representative of the Treasury Department, may not .use except for De partment business without specific au thority from the Secretary. On the other hand, witness after witness testified against- the accused navigator Qf the bay. The primary trouble with tho newspaper representatives! when fully investigated, showed th!at Cushlng's boorish treatment .of them was Intended as a rap ot the Sur veyor's offlce. BERT MOORE'S RAPID RISE Five Years Abo a Messenger Boy, Now lie Is n. Tonne Cattle King-. In .1$?7 a--unlformcd messenger, mounted on a bicycle, aged IS; six months later a tramp with" .25 cents In his pocket: in 1902. aged 23. a -young cattle king on the high road" to wealth, , Is tho history In a nut shell of Bert Moore, who came Into the stockyards at South Omaha a few days ago, bringing with him several carloads of fat steers from his Wyoming ranch, and, after disposing of them at a good price, walked, up to the Western Union Telegraph office in Omaha to Inspect the place where he' had spent four years as on ordinary delivery boy. Tho brilliant career of the young man, who without friends and without money made such a rapid rise In the world, shows the opportunities which still exist In. the West for 'a boy or young man of ability and pluck. For three years Bert McCune, messenger No. 12' of tho Western Union force at Omaha, was the best-known messenger In the city. His true name was Moore, but at that time he was called' by the name of his foster parents, McCune. Bert was ready and willing to work, and was a favorite with customers all over the city. He attended night school and kept abreast of other pupils who went to school in the day time. One day Bert stepped up to the manager and asked for his "time," saying he want ed to quit. Every Inducement was of fered ,htm to remain with the, company, but he declined. He said: "There's noth ing In It. I'm going to Wyoming and be come a cattle- king. No, I haven't any money, but I will have some." And go to Wyoming ho did. The- Big Horn Valley, near Yellowstone Park, was beginning to attract attention, and thither Bert Journeyed, not by Pullman carsbut by riding the brakebeams of Burlington Railroad freight cars. It took him two weeks to make the 1000 miles, but one Spring morning he entered the Big Horn Basin and was ready for work immedi ately. This he secured on a ranch and began ssvlng his wages. He homesteaded 10) acres of land and Induced two-cowboys to do the same. Whenever he secured enough money to .purchase a cow he did so leaving the animal to herd withhls employer's cattle. Eighteen months after entering the basin Bert made his first shipment ot cattle to the South Omaha stockyards. There were only IS bead, not enough to All' a car. but the balance 'wcre.supplled by his employer of the T-bar-Z ranch. Before the advent of the Burlington Railroad into the region the Big Horn country was settled by Mormons. When the Gentiles began moving' In so freely the, Mormons began -.moving back into Utah, selling their stock In the Big "Horn Basin at small figures. Bert took advan tage of thlst aad with the proceeds of' his first shipments bought a number of ".feed ers" from a departing- "saint." All this time he continued work at the T-Tar-Z, investing every cent he ohtnlncd In livestock. Buffalo Bill, whose big ranch Is situated in that county, began taking an Interest in tho earnest young fellow, and assisted him In many ways. One year ago Bert secured possession of the homesteads of his two cowboy friends, which, together with his own claim, gave him 4S0 acres of fine grazing land. On this land he built himself a sodhouse. and, giving up his position with the T-bar-Z, struck out for himself. A QUAKER CITY SWINDLER Scheme by Means of Which Philadel phia Merchants Were Worked. Philadelphia Ledger. Many business firms have been robbed In Philadelphia by a clever swindler who, so far as can be learned, began his opera tions on November 13, and on November 19, according to the police, already had 25 robberies to his credit. Although the po lice have his picture and a full description, they have failed to find him. His scheme is to enter some welirknown store and leave an order, which he directs sent C O. D. to a fictitious address in a large ofllca building. He asks for a piece of paper on which "to write a note so they will pay you In case' I should not be there." On second thought, however, ho decides that the note will be unnecessary, and departs with the note and several sheets of the firm's letterheads. On these ho writes orders to other firms that, as a rule, are promptly honored. His first known operation was nt Tyn dalo & Mitchell's " store, 1217 Chestnut street. He came there early In the morn ing and ordered an expensive lamp sent to "C Williamson. IS Drexel building." Their clerk, upon his request, gave him the firm's paper for a note to go with the order, and with the letterheads thus se cured he went across to Harman's and presented a false order from Tyndale & Mitchell for a fancy umbrella. Harman's clerk, however, offered to send It over, and the swindler made no objection. 8Ix days later he went to Drew's musical store and secured a $15 mandolin on an other alleged order from Tyndale & MltchelL Mr. Brew .kept the order, and when he found It to be false, be at-once went to City Hall. "In the-, detective bureau the handwrit ing was recognized at a glance." Bald Mr. Drew. "The .officers laughed at me and said, Tou have been swindled by a false order from another firm, haven't youT before they read the note. Then they told mo' that they had already received 25 no tices of the same kind. I don't see why tho police keep -it quiet. lt the scheme had been made public, tho swindler couldn't have worked his scheme." On November 23 he went to Charles Lentz & Son. Ho ordered an electric stor ago battery sent to 'IHarrj' Morris. 325 Betz building,'' and secured, it is said, an entire pad of the firm's letterhead paper. On account of these letterheads, bills have come to Lentz & Sons for a storage bat tery from the Rumsey Manufacturing Company. 1211 Filbert street: a flashlight apparatus from Kdwards & Co., 1024 Mar ket street: a J30 traveling bag from Hetzel. Tenth and Arch streets, and others. It Is not known, that he secured letter heads of any stores ho visited yesterday. Some of his aliases are. "Dr. Livingston." "C. W.-Sanders," "C. W. Roberts," "Har ry Morris," "C. Williamson" apd "C. W. Ferris." Whether the Arms that supply him with paper can be held -responsible la a ques tion considered by many of the losers, which may cause trouble. Spanish With n Northern Twist. Washington Post. Three experts in Castillan were among Senator Nelson's auditors as he discussed the Btatehood bill. One was Senator El kins, who talks In Spanish quite as well as he does In English, a'nd who has. made a thousand speeches during his day In the Spanish tongue.- The other two were Governor Otero and Delegate Rodey. Mr. Nelson was reading early Spanish history In New Mexico, and the way he tolled aroundthe names tickled tho risibilities of those three Spanish scholars. "Maria Vigil," said Senator Nelson, pro nouncing ono of the names exactly as It is spelled according to English rules. "Maereah Vehlll," whispered Senator Elklns to-one of his companions. "Jacarillas," said the Northwestern Sen ator, giving every letter Its full English sound. "Hlcareahs," said Governor Otero In nn undertone, as a smile was again ex changed by the trio. But Senator Nelson's stronghold Is Eng lish and Norwegian. He may not be up on Castillan. but he can make the three statesmen who are handy In the Jargon of the Mexicans on tho mesas "look like 30 cents" when it comes to transmitting In telligence in the words of the Land of the Midnight Sun.

In Its earlier stages catarrh Is more of a nuisance than a menace to the general health, but sooner or later the disease ex tends to the throat, bronchial tubes and even to the stomach and intestines. Catarrh is essentially a disease of the mucous membrane, the local symptoms being a profuse discharge of mucus, stop page of the nostrils. Irritation in throat, causing cougaing. sneezing, gagging and frequent clearings of the throat and head. The usual treatment by local douches, snuffs, salve, etc , often gives temporary relief, but anything like a cure can only be obtained by a treatment which removes the catarrhal taint from the blood and the disappearance of the inflammation from the mucous surfaces. A new remedy which meets these re quirements, and which so far has been re markably successful In curing catarrh Is Stuart's Catarrh Tablets. These tablets act upon the blood and mucous membranes only. They can hard ly be called a secret patent medicine, as they aro composed ot such valuable rem edies as Illood-Root. Hydrastln. Red Gum and similar cleansing antiseptics, which cure by eliminating from the blood and mucous surfaces the catarrhal poison. Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are large, pleasant tasting lozenges taken Internally, tllowlng- them to dissolve slowly. In the mouth. In this way they reach the throat, fcuces and tho entire alimentary canal. It desired, they may also be dissolved In water and used as a douche. In addition to tho Internal us?, but It is not at all neces sary to use i. douche; a few of them dis solved In the mouth dally will be suffi cient, llowcvir. when there Is much stop page of the nose, a douche mado from these tablets will give immediate relief, but the regular dally use Internally of these tablets will cure the whole catar rhal trouble without resorting to the in convenience of a douche. Dr. Dement states "That the Internal treatment for catarrh Is ralpdly taking the place of the old plan of douching and local application, and further says that probably the best and certainly tho safest remedy at present on the market Is Stu art's Catarrh Tablets, as no secret Is made of their composition, and all tho really efllclent remedies for catarrh are con tained In this tablet." Druggists sell Stuart's Catarrh Tablets at fifty cents for full-sized packages. Ask your druggist, and If he is honest, he will tell you thire Is m safer, moro palatable, more efllclent anl convenient remedy on the market. On the Wing.
