A LEAD PENCIL TEST.
In Indicates Certain Characteristics'
of tne Owner.
"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."

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.
EVERY CHILD born with an in
herited tendency to distressing,
disfiguring humours of the skin, scalp,
and blood becomes an object of the
most tender solicitude, not only because
of its suffering, but because of the
dreadful fear that the disfiguration is to
be lifelong and mar its Mure happiness
and prosperity. Hence it becomes the
duty of mothers of such afflicted chil
dren to acquaint themselves with the
best, the purest, and most effective

A DAILY NUISANCE.
A Simple Remedy Which Will Inter
est Catarrh Sufferers.
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.
