WELLE Late Soloist With Dockstader's Minstrels SONGS CHANGED DAILY A Flatboatmans Honor By THOMAS R. DUNN Early In the nineteenth century the Deans of communication between northern cities and New Orleans was by Satboat on the Mississippi river. The Satboat was lumber yard loose ly put together end derived It same from the fact that It bottom w flat Instead of being the usual shape of boat These boat were supposed to drift with the current of the big riv er, though their momentum was oc casionally added to by enormous aweep worked by men on the roof or deck and were always steered by a weep. On reaching New Orleans they were broken up and cold for the lumber there wo in them. The flatboatman wo a crude being not unlllte the plainsman of some for ty or fifty year later. A crude code of honor existed in both. There were a great many things that they would not scruple to do that we in a more civilized community would consider very wrong, but when their sense of honor was at stake they would fight hard to do what they felt was right Roger Dixon was a flatboatman iu the early thirties. The boat be was on having tied up in a creek on tho Louisiana shore, he went up on to the bank, where he found a gambling den, and there he proceeded to lose all the money he had, but, being convinced that he bad been cheated, used a long knife he carried hung between bis shoulder blade on the manipulator of the gambling outfit, leaving a consid erable wound. Dixon was arrested and put in Jail. The flatboat went on south with the current leaving him devoid of funds and without even his liberty. The arrest and imprisonment of the culprit occurred Just as the court was adjourning for the season and would not be held again for several months. Dixon, having ho money, was unable to get ball, which was allowed in his case since the wound he had Inflicted was not mortal. He therefore had the prospect of languishing in jail during hot summer, with the further pros pect of being sent to state prison for felonious assault for two or three years longer when the court came together. The prisoner, being remanded to Jail in default of bail, stood before the Judge a melancholy sight. He was about to be led away when a planter dressed in the costume of the time tight trousers strapped over his boots, coat with a flaring skirt, a ruffled shirt and a bell crowned beaver hat- said to the court: "To honnah, what's the amount of! the ball in this case?" "Five thousand dollars, colonel." "I'll go it fo' this man, sub." "IV bettau not ub. you'll lose yo' money." The colonel asked the prisoner If he would com back certain sho' if he furnished the ball, and, though the re ply wa Imply "Reckon," . Colonel Armstrong was convinced, the bond was executed, and Dixon went free. The trial wa fixed for the 4th of No rember, four month later. Dixon was a Tennesseean, whose domicile, where lived hi wife and children, was on the bank of the Ten nessee rlrer, near the site of the pres ent city of Chattanooga. There was no means of getting there by the way he had come, for boats In those day never went upstream, so Dixon cut across country on foot. A he left the place of his misfortune one of a knot of men who stood looking after him said, "There goes your $9,000, colonel." When tb 1st of November came round Colonel Armstrong had not beard a word from the man be bad befriended. Tbe kind hearted colonel wa an object of sympathy on the part of tbe Inhabitant of tbe locality, for no one expected that a man wa com ing away from Tennessee for tbe pur pose of being sent to state prison when he could get off by staying at home. The second and third days of tbe month passed, and on the morning of the fourth tbe court came together for the purpose of trying Dixon, but there was no Dixon present Out of sympathy for Colonel Armstrong the Judge delayed matter a long a possible. Suddenly there wa a sound of heavy boots on the courthouse step, and the culprit rushed wildly Into couit and aid: "Reckon I aia't too late, Judge, am IT" The ball furnisher embraced the new comer, while those present cheered. Then Dixon wa asked to tell how he had come. He bad made bis way down the Tennessee river In a dugout to its mouth, where be expected to be picked np by n flatboat on which be might work his way down the Mis sissippi river. Having waited se.i.il days In vain for one. he continued en In his dugout over the rest of the way from Cairo, a distance of many hun dred miles, to his destination. When the story had btn told the prosecuting nttoruey. considering that the gstnlilor who hnd been stabbed bad recovered and bad Mince been killed by another person he had fleered, requested the cnxe be dropped, and tbe prisoner wa 'Uncharged. Again be set cut on his 'inmenrard Jonrned through a wild ountry. n was offered money by 'he khid henrted plnnter who had be 'ore tiefrlntidud hi in, but be declined t snylng : "I uilsht not bev ft to send, so If I bev It I rontmht pot get It yre with Nit brlniriir It myself." .

Inquest yester day into the death of Edgar C. Howe, whose body was found near a western suburb Thursday failed to determine whether the case was a murder of a suicide. It served, how ever, to bring out the lights and shad ow of a "sports" career.' Howe was a gambler. He could spin a whel or deal faro with the best of them. When horse racing was a pastime In this city Howe was on the "Inside" of a "good thing" and after a "killing" his money was spent free ly. He icaa one of the most pros perous gamblers in the city. With the closing of the local tracks more than a decade ago, Howe's for tunes changed. He was "broke" end his friends knew it but with the old pride of a gambler who had been on top he never would admit It HE FINDS SOLDIER IS WORTH MORE THAN $750 Chicago, Nor. $. rThe inquiry of Judge Landls of the United States District court: to find out why a "soldier's life Is worth only $760" has been answered.

Tho recent an nouncement that officers of the guards regiments would be required, when not in uniform, to wear black frock coat and silk hat when in the neigh borhood of , Buckingham Palace, 1 causing some debate In social and military, circles as to the- aim of tbe new order.. The ' British officer,, a soon a be goes off duty, ha been ac customed to don civilian clothes in cluding ordinary derby hat and even caps. The new order for the atlk hat was Issued by Major General Sir Francis Lloyd, the new general officer com manding the London district and the question ha been Taised whether the intention 1 to live up to the tradition of the guards regiments that they should be leader of fashion In time of peace. : - . It Is also advanced that people look to officers of the guards to keep up their reputation for smartness both a and off parade and that to see u oft. cer in London dressed like a chanftu or groom is a violation of the battn dltlons of the brigade of guards.
