SENATOR VANCE’S READY W|;l Records Show That Very Rarely Did| Carolina Statesman Fail to Rise to | the Occasion, ‘ The late Senator Vance used to say that his liveliest campaign for the gov- ernorship of North Carolina was that in which Judge Settle ran against him, ; They stumped the state In joint de- bate. All the white Democrats turned out to hear Vauce, and all the colored Republicans to hear Settle. On one occasion, Vance was informed that some young ladles desired to testify their devotion to the Democratic pnrty: by kissing the Democratic candidate| for governor. Nothing loth, Vance de- | scended from the platform and kissed | a dozen or so of the young beautles, und then paused long enough to turn| around toward his competitor and| shout: “Settle, I'm kissing my girls; | now kiss yours!” When he married | the second time, he said to his wife on | their wedding-day: “My dear, I'm a stubborn fellow, and you may antici. pate trouble. Now, in the beginning, while I am submissive, I want to glve you one plece of advice. If you follow it, we'll get on mighty well. It is this: Make me do just as I darned please.” A newspaper man, who was about starting for a rather out-of-the ‘way portion of Vance’s own state, was asking him one day what kind of lo! commodation he was likely to find | “They’ll give you some of their fried hog and eggs,” the senator replied “That's better than nothing,” said the newspaper man. “I don't know—I| don’t know,” the senator answered, iu & dubious tome; “I've tried both.” SEEK SWORD OF SULEIMAN It Is Generally Belleved That the Fa- mous Weapon ls Now In a Lon- don Antique Shop. The famous sword of Suleiman,| which disappeared from the Turkish treasury in the reign of Sultan Abdul Hamid, is believed to have been sold to some dealer in antiques in London or Paris. Tahir Pasha, to whom the sword was given by Abdul just before the latter was deposed, has told the Constantinople police that it was buried in & subterranean passage in the Yildiz Kiosk, but he has forgotten the exact place. Tahir was a favorite of Abdul, and the story is that Tahir received the sword from Abdul, although it be- longed to the state, as a reward for espionage. When the constitutional government supplanted Abdul Hamid a fruitless search for the sword was made. Recently the war minister re- celved an anonymous letter saying that the sword was in Tahir Pasha’s Dossession. This led to a search of Tahir’s house. Following Tahir’s state- ment that the sword is burled in the Yildis Kiosk excavations are being made in that palace. The police doubt Tahir’s story. The sword of Suleiman the Magnifl- cent was one of the most valuable Telics in the possession of the Turkish government. Following a little habit he had, Abdul Hamid added it to the collection of priceless works of art and jewelry in the “golden cage” of the Yildiz Kiosk. DOGS BECOME A NUISANCE Btaten Island Made a Dumping Ground by Its Big Neighbor, New York Clty. Staten Island, N. Y., 1s notorlous as & refuge for stray dogs. The borough across the bay is overrun with home- less curs of all sizes, ages and descrip- tions, and the policemen are kept busy shooting them up to appease the fears of the nervous inhabitants. “Most of them come across on the boats,” explained a cop-stationed at the ferry house at St. George. “No, they aren’t stowaways, neither do stock, we are ready to show to the Northern Minnesota. ' they work their passage over. They are brought over by people who don’t | want them, who have grown tired of their pets, or want to get rid of them for some reason, and instead of taking: them to the Soclety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animalsfthey bring them over here and turn them loose, know- |Ing they will never find their way back. | “Once here they have to forage for their food, and become wild and dan- gerous. Often they form in packs like wolves, and then they realize the strength of numbers, and are absolute- ly fearless. I dare say there are more dogs on Staten Island than in all the rest of the boroughs put together.” PO OOROOOODPOOL O '® CALENDAR OF SPORTS FOR ¢ e THE WEEK @, | 900000000000 0.0¢ In the Profesh.

His offer was accepted, and Pitcher Jok erst was sent to the Kitty league team by Springfield. Doyle didn’t do well with Mattoon that season. Kinsella had not even considered him in deciding what play- er to pick. He had almost made up his mind to take a veteran pitcher who he thought could give, Springfield at least one season’s good work, when he ran into Belt one day. Belt was managing the Jacksonville team of ihe Kitty league at that time.. Kinsella explained his deal with Mattoon to Belt,-and: asked: his opin- ‘lon in regard to selecting a player. “Have you seen Doyle play?”’ quer- ied Belt. “No,” answered Kinsella, “Well, don't pick anyone until you fo, and then pick him. He's the toming ball player of that club. He hasn’t looked good in the box scores, but he’s ‘there’ any way you take him, He'll bring you more money inside of & year than you ever got for a player.” - Kinsella followed; Belt's advice and plcked Laughing Larry.

FATHER Sioux Warriors Pay Visit to the Whit_e House. JACK. RED CLOUD IN LEAD 8on of Old Red Cloud Was Himself One of Greatest Sloux Fighters— How Old Chlef Executed His Peace Mission. By GEORGE CLINTON. Wagshington.—President Taft was visited a day or two ago at the White | House by three bands of Sioux In- dians from the Santee, the Pine Ridge and the Rosebud agencies. The braves of Pine Ridge were led by Jack Red Cloud, son of Old Red Cloud, who ‘died a year ago and who in his day was one of the great warriors of the Dakota natlon. Jack was dressed in the clothes of eivilization: In a way he looked well enough, but not aito- gether comfortable. This son: of a warrior of many battles has seen some fighting himself. He was “out” with the bands of Kicking Bear and Short Bull in the last uprising against the whites in the days of the Ghost Dance craze. The last time thaf one white man who was at the White House when the Indians called saw Jack Red Cloud, the Indian was tear- ing; down, the trail leading past the emptying his Winchester with a glee- ful disregard of the: terror that he was causing. At the time of Jack's escapade ‘in December, 1890, he was not thirty years old and he was full of war and enthugiasm. He had left the hostile camp beyond White Clay Creek bent on a frolic on his own account. On his pony, painted, red flanneled, and feathered, he dashéd through the agency emptying his gun and nearly scaring the lives out of half a dozen newspaper correspondents who hap- pened to be in the tradl. Sullenly Surrenders. Young Red Oloud -on that day oir- cled the agency, and before the troops could kill him or arrest him he was beyond the danger lne, headed strajght for the hostile camp. After- ward, with 2,500 of his fellow-brava and as many more women and chil- dren, he came sullenly into the agency, pressed to surrender by the regulars who were in the fleld. The day of the Indians’ call on the president, Generwl Miles walked up Pennsylvania avenue through a snow- storm looking not much older than he did when he was in command of Pine Ridge agency {wenty-one years ago last December and January. He was told that Jack Red Cloud was at the White House and sald that he would like to see him and that If he was as good looking man: as ‘his father- he must be a fine, upstanding Indian. The general recently received a let- ter from Short Bull, one of the Bioux ohieftains who led his tribe on the warpath sgainst the whites immedi- ately following the killing of Bitting Bull by the Indian police near Stand- ing Rock Agency. Short Bull is now leading = lazy life of’ retirement onm the agency. His warpath days a over, but he was zealous for fight a wcore of years ago and with Kieking Bear he Was declared =o dangerous that the two were led captives to Fort Pheridan near Chicago. While the Sloux were still on the warpath early in the month of Jau- uary, 1891, Red Cloud,- Jacl’'s fath who was too old to go on L2e war path no matter what his yearnin were, was sent out by his military authorities to the hostile camp to: use his best endeavors to induce the k- dians to surrender without further fighting. There had been a tight at Wounded Knee, where ninety of the Seventh cavalry were killed and wounded, and where Big Foot's band ot Sioux virtually had been wiped out of existence. The authorities did not want any more of it, if they ceuld bring the thing to an -end peaceably. Red €loud went out on his mission and when he came back he sald that appeals had been of no avail.

Jack Red Cloud brought to his father a granddaughter who -spoke English, and she w asked to act as interpreter, but the old man refused to tell the story, say- Ing that it was not for a warrior to boast, and then he added that some white man might tell the story. It was not long after the Civil war that Red Cloud met in battle the fleld- tried soldiers of that conflict and they found him worthy to meet them. Min. eral’ wealth had been discovered In Montana and the rush of prospecfors and settlers made it necessary for the government to erect a military post porium el along the trail leading over the prairies to the mines. On the trail to the Powder River was built Fort Phil Kearney. While the troops or - dered to the new post were on the march a scout came riding fato the column with his horse under spur. Later Red Cloud with his braves met Fetterman™ in battle and killed hiwm and fifty followers. White Holland Hardlest.
