And up and down and in and out of this hollow square of mountains, where waters plentifully flowed and game and natur al pasture abounded, there skulked a nomadic and distrustful population."

To the northwest the Teton range has been- what the Alger Ian mountains are to the people of Tanglers, a safe hiding-place for what ever Ralaull gained their shadows. If It were possible to go straight northwest from Cheyenne towards the Yellowstone reservation, "The Hole In the Wall" would be found to He al most directly In the wajyand less than a hundred miles from the southeast corner of the great national park. Once upon a time, as a geologist would describe It, this huge cup in the moun tains waa evidently a lake. In the course of centuries'" 'fS geologist always seems to speak loosely) the waters of the lake gnawed their way out In a narrow stream where It was easiest to break through. Later the outlet be came a deep gorge, and the waters of the lake fell lower and lower until the once wide and deep body of water be came but an interrupted chain of smull pools and ix rapid little stream that Is a veritable torrent when the snow melts In the spring. It was the receding lake that left the "bleak, crumbled rim." that ran "like a rampart between the towering tops," and under that rim stib lerranenan assages and staribg caves were left, too, where a cautious man, familiar with the basin, might hide and be safe from capture for any length of time. The entrance to the "Hole," and Its exit, are narrow, steep, rock bottomed gorges through w-hlch the prehistoric lake found Its way to lower levels. The end of the "wild bunch" lias been announced to a relieved North west more than once. When Logan was found self-killed an enthusiastic sheriff wired to a Chicago detective agency whose work had been onerous in Wyoming and Colorado:" Dead rob ber absolutely identified as Loaan. This means the end of the Hole in the Wall gang." In the minds of the thief takers and men tamers of the West, Harvey Logan, who was better known as "Kid Curry," was the lender of that band. "The Hole in the Wall" with out Logan would surely become but a memory of wickedness. To that versatile outlaw had been credited the leadership of the "bunch" thut robbed the Butte County bank at Belle Fourche, S. D.. In 1897, that held up a ITnlon Pacific train at Wilcox. Wyo.. In 1899. that robbed another express car at Tipton, that looted the First Nation- il Hank at Wlnnemucca. Nev.. of over $30,000 in 1900. a'.id that got $35, 000 from a Great Northern train at Wagner. Mont., in 1901. By the time he was run to earth it was thought that the 'wild bunch" had dwindled to "Kid Curry" and two others. It was known that "Butch" Cassidy ( a sinis ter fitting name) and Harry Long- baugh. the "Sundance Kid," were at large, but It was thouKht that they had deserted "The Hole in the Wall" forever. Now, with Col. Cody and hi Indian scout on the trail of the men who killed Cashier Middaugh, and with the trail pointing again to the" Teton Range retreat, It is not so certain that the regnancy In outlawry lapsed when itarvey Logan killed himself at Para chute. It Is even hinted that the great BUI" Crusans. who whs reported to have been killed hi a fight with of ficers, is at 111 alive, and a leader of sorties from the "Hole." For fifteen years, at least, "The Hole in the Wall" has been known and used by the outlawed among the cowboys and gamblers of the Northwest. It waa ' in 1892 that Its secrets, were re vealed to the world. In that year a Northern- Pacific train was held up near-Big Timber, Mont., and the eg presa car plundered. The "Job waa well done, and the posse formed to run down the robbers had a long,; stern chase. One man, Camilla Hanks, was' captured. - jje was the "Deaf Charlie" of the gang, and from him the officer got the first trustworthy - Information concerning the "wild bunch," , He waa from Texas, as was Ben Kllpatrlck, the "Talb Texan," who waa neatly trapped by detectives while on'a drunken pr in St. Loula. After servlna a ten years' sentence at Deer lodge. Mont, he re turned to the old life, to be killed two I ,Var o- posse at San Antonio. It I the general belief In the country where sucjithing -are- moat talked aboot that al least one woman was an active member of the "wild bunch," and knew the secret of the "Hole." She was Laura Bullion, an Intimate of the 'Tall Texan," who fled to St. Louts with Kllpatrlck after the robbery of the Great Northern express car at Wagner, Mont. When arrested her satchel con tained some thousands of unsigned bank nates of 'the National Bank of Montana and the American National Bank of Helena. She. with Kllpatrlck, Is serving a term In the penitentiary at Jefferson city. Mo. The outlawed went to the, "Hole" by secret ways, one by one: they gathered there to plan the next raid, sending out couriers to collect the news that would be likely to be of value to them. Their arrangements made, they slipped out of the "Hole" one by one. to meet perhaps two weeks later and 300 miles away ana carry out a raid. When a robbery had been committed and the plunder was distributed every man had to de fend himself. He might go southwest into Arizona or into southern Califor nia, the whim might take him down Into the Rio Grande country, or Chica go or St Louis might draw him. But when the chase grew stern and the money grew scarce the "Hole tn the Wall was the final refuge. ' Even those men who, .for one reason or an other, gave up- the Robin Hood exist ence ana Decame, .as Mr. Wlster 'ie erlbed thorn, "the honest cltlsens of tne Hole, were always ready to fur nish food and news to the hunted. It was wnen the refugees left the "Hole' and put aside the tremendous advant ages of its fastnesses that they were piucaen. mus "Flat-Nosed George" was killed In a fight with Utah offi cers; Sum Ketchum was wounded and captured near Cimarron, N1. M. ; "Black Jack" Tom Ketchum, another brother. "iso laaen in New Mexico; Bob i.ee. i oin O Day, and Elza Uay fell vic tims to the law far out of sight of the ret-ons. There was nothing In the "Hole" worth having except safety, and that was worth risking when n man had money and a slx-nionths-old desire to spend it on a glorious carouse. BUT A OIHL OF 14.

But he will be entirely "on nis uoi- lev " Thorn is no other city in tne Hnireit state where one can get a bet ter meal at a cheaper cost than right here. On 5 cents up to o you ran breakfast, dine or sud as well here as anywhere and a great deal better than In most places. There are many res taurants In Washington where, for the moderate sum of 30 cents, a better meal. better served,. can be had than mosi Americans eat at their homes. A still further reduction In price can be had bv buvlnar meal tickets, which are soia. at the moderate-priced eating places. The waiters are Invariably girls poor thins, their wages must be plttuuuy small. They fetch the meal, write the Diice on a check which they deposit at your plate and depart. They expect no tins and aet none. If you leave a coin on the table, the darkey who takes off the dishes (every restaurant lias one) will pocket It. Competition has evidently rorcea down the price of meals to a point where the eating house business Is bare ly profitable. Hence the sad howl over the recent rise of one cent per loaf In the price of bread. This means an increased expense of from $2.50 to $5 per day, which means. In some cases, either a reduction In the wages of those poor girls or going nut of business. It would not help the restaurants any lwr the bnkers to make their loaves smaller And charge 5 cents for them Instead of 6. But, strangely enough, )t would be a very pleasing thing to the populace. They are accustomed to giving a nickel for a loaf of bread, just us they are to giving the like sum for glass of beer. All over this broad land a loaf of bread or A glass of beer costs 5 cents. The size of the glass varies and so does the weight of the loaf, but the size and weight of the money are ever the same; and nobody complains. The sales of bread fell off enormously in Washington the first day of the Increased price; irate house holders swearing they would eat car rots rather than pay 6 cents a tout for bread. Under like circumstances the sale of beer would temporarily decline. But In Washington the size of the loaf Is fixed by the government of the United States, Just like the weight of the nickel, and if you alter it you will get Into trouble. A few, a very few, bakers tried It and found out. The wholesome, righteous and admirable thing ubout Federal law is that it dif fers . from the usual State, cdtinty or municipal law in one very radical re spectnamely, it cannot be disobeyed with impunity by anybody, high or low, millionaire or pauper. As soon as the price of the loaf was advanced to 6 cents, certain commissioners of the United States government visited the bakeries and fell to weighing loaves. In alnnost every cuse the weight was correct. Undoubtedly, it will stay cor rect, for no baker knows when he will be pounced upon by the commissioners. Washlngtonians have no vote, and the city Is without ti representative form of government. Can that be why it is the best governed city In this country? But what a treasury it has the Treasury of the United States. When the Washlngtonians want anything they ask their Uncle Sam for It and the old man pulls out his check book. Just now they are asking for more parks, as If thirty-two were not enough. They say the city is showing a tendency to build up close, a tendency jubilantly approved, feverishly sought for and Idiotically promoted by the usual small town In the tadpole stage everywhere. The Washlngtonians say they want to spread out. They are asking Congress for hundreds of thousands of dollars fk) they can line new streets with trees and dot the growing districts with pretty parks. They don't care If their city is one of "magnificent distances" they believe they will be Just as happy in heaven, remembering that It took twenty minutes to get down town in stead of fifteen. Nor do they imagine that the chief end of man Is to live In a 19-story flat and do business in a 29 story office building. Do they worship God rather than the graven image on the dollar? At any rate, they care for other things, and not alone for money grubbing. A llttl? leaven leaveneth the whole lump," as John D. Rockefeller. Jr.. said In a recent Sunday school talk. It Is commonly supposed that Washington is a city of office-holders. It is nothing of the kind. For every office-holder there are ten people who do not hold office, though, of i-ourse, they wvmld all like to. Just for the experience. Well, these 30,000 office-holders are. ' comparatively speaking, members of the leisure class that Is to say, they are employed only about one hour in every three of the twenty-four; resting two hours for every hour they work. These people have time to cultivate the Immortal part of them. They know exactly the amount of money they will get at the end of every month. They have no bus iness cares. They have time to ride about the city and look at It; to walk about it and visit their friends. Actu ally, in Washington men of ordinary means, mere clerks, have time to go to 5-o"clock teas. . Being out of doors a good deal, they desire attractive sur roundings. The leaven of that desire leaveneth the whole 278,000 inhabitants of the nation's capital, and working on the same produces this beautiful wheel of a city, whose hub Is the stately capl- tol. A unique thing about Washington Is Its calm during a presidential cam paign. It l a serene harbor, where the ship of atate lies quietly at anchor while the sea of politics' roars and surges. Nothing could be more janin terestlng than the raising of acam palgn banner across a Washington street. It excites Just the same Inte rest as does the raising of a safe to a third-story window, the crowd merely wondering tf it will fall. The resi dents vof the city have no vote and don't really care a rap who is elected; the number of Congressmen and Sena tors will be Just the same and the Pres ident will live at the White Houjse. Things were different ; once. There was a time when, Washington was the uneasiest city In the Union during a national election. The percentage of . 1 office-holders to the whole population ' at the town was for larger than to-day. and tbey were all afraid they were gb-L Ing to lose their Joba. ,. There -waa a" panicky condition of the atmosphere and everybody w scared. It used toj be a good time for buying Washington) real estate; there was always a slump In values Just before an election.

' Former Baltlmoreaa Tells' Of Hard- snips ana uoou Fortune In the Far North. v Boston Herald. i "Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth," says the Ccriotures: built Hev. Hiram Vrooman, lately pastor of me itoxourg iew Jerusalem, church, preacher, author, philosopher, moralist, president of the Federation of Religions, has been heedless of the injuction to a necree which makes the prletly vow of poverty seem like a -Jeu d'eaprlt or the baseless fabric of a theological dream. But RevIr. Vrooman, though be be Just backTtrom the Klondike, where within a few months he has added to his worldly possessions lngol d dust and staked claims about $100,000. is not after riches as an end solely; he would, he says, make it' a means largely to fur ther the work of the Federation of Re ligions, about which he tins thought and written much. "Yes," said Mr. Vrooman, "I have re cently returned from the Klondike, whither I went last spring, after resign ing my pastorate In Roxbury. That I have done well I cannot deny; and cer tainly expect to do vastly better next season. My proptrties are on the Hoot ariinqua river, Yukon territory, which Is part of the gold-bearing district com monly called the Klondike country. I get to the place by going from Seattle on a steamer 1,000 miles north to Skng way. and thence by railroad across White Taps, 110 miles to White Horse, which Is on the headwaters of the Yu kon river. Steamers leave here for Daw son and ether points. My rich find Is about 150 miles from White Horse. "We consumed," said he, "one month at White Horse in making prepaartloi s and gelling my equipment together. I arrived there on the 10th of June und left on the 7th of July. I purchased from the. railroad and steamshlo com pany the liotit, or bow, and of the river steamtr Sibyl, which had been cut in two lor purposes of their own. This made a satisfactory scow for floating my mlninji machinery. It was 60 feet, long, and at the stern 27 feet wide, coin ing tc a point at the bow. "From White Horse to the mouth jf the Hootailnqua river I had a distance )f 90 n:ilec io go down stream. With equipment and provisions' and six men aboard trip scow we were taken this dis tance by the current and tht wind." Mr! Vrooman here described the trip In detail, telling about the passage of Lake LaBnrge In a high wind, and said. "The anxiety of the three days con sumed in going down these 90 miles caused utter exhaustion. I shall never forget the sense of thankfulness and relief experienced when we were safely tled-to In an eddy at the mouth of the Hootailnqua river. "The nearest recording office for claims Is Livingstone Creea, a little mining settlement over the mountain, a distance of about 18 mnes irom my property. It was understood that on my return trip from White Horse I would reach Livingstone Creek on a certain day, and that two of the men should meet me there for the purpose of re cording the claims they had staked. They arrived at the property and I ar rived at White Horse on schedule time. "In returning I went by steamer, of course, to the mouth of the Hootalinqua river. On leaving the steamer. I started upon my tramp of 60 miles afoot, with a distance of 25 miles to make that day. I arrived at the 17-mlle point at 10:4o a. m., which was fairly good speed. I then began to feel symptoms of rheuma tism or strained muscles In my knees and hips. At this point I al."o cenfront ed a bear, and after yelling and shoot ing at him, and as he did not rui 1 tried to. "My rheumatism, probably caused by sleeping so much out-of-doors, grew rapidly worse, und it was only by the utmost exertion, and with every step accompanied with the severest pain, that I succeeded in reaching the little abin at Mason's Landing that night. Of course, I was not able tb pursue my journey on the following day. Fortun ately, however, there wns a man tliete who was golne to Livingstone Creek that day, and he carried a letter from me to my son. "As good fortune would have ltythe same llttl,- "learner th! t had picked me up on the river before was making Its second trip down, and stopped at thls; landing late that verv afternoon. It took about one minute for me to strike a bargain with the captain, and within fifteen minutes I was on board, going up the river to my scow. "As cold weather waa setting in ilnd as my muscular aches and pains were continuing, I was anxious to return at the earliest opportunity. 1, therefore, remained only long enough to demon-, st rate positively that the machinery was able to do the work at that point. The demonstration was what I wanted. In my presence be machinery worked, sat isfactorily. We secured at the rate of one ton of the black sand from every 125 cubic yards of gravel that we wash- ed through the sluice boxes. "I had the, remainder of the men stake out claims for mc, and the morn ing that I started to float down the rivtr on a raft In coming out these other men started for Livingstone Creek on foot to record these additional claims. I left instructions for them to work until September 22, and to accom ulate as much of the bla5k sand con taining the gold as possible during that time." But Mr. Vrooman, as has been said,, is not altogether wrapped Up lit the hunt for gold. Surrounded by his books, he thinks and studies and peers Into the infinite. It Is his dream his faith that a basis can be found upon which all warring sects can be .brought to gether.

Last summer while recovering from ill ness of fever, I bad a severe attack of Inflammatory Rheumatism in the knees, from which I was unable to leave my room for several montlis. I was treated by two doctors and also tried different kinds of linaments and medicines which seemed to relieve me from pain for awhile, but at the same time I was not any nearer getting well. One day while reading a paper I saw an advertisement of S. S. S. for Rheumatism. I decided to give it a trial, which I did at once. After I had taken three bottles I felt s great deal better, and I still continued to take it retrularlv until I was entirely cured. .1 now feel better than for years, and I cheerfully recommend S. S. 8. to any one suffering from Rheumatism. 613 33d St. Chas. E. Gn.DERSHtvg.
