who talked about him issteveaing in this
\ vwcudibee's police training was received
, in a school from which no coward or
' bioekhead could graduate with honor. it
was in Leadvilie, 0010., that he first don-
ned a star. and he wore it through the
most trouhlous period of that great and
wicked mining camp's history. When sil-
oer was first discovered there, in 1878,
nearly all the thugs and thieves in the west
and many of the worst characters of the
east started for the new Eldorado, and
when the town was a year old its rulers
were desperadoee. Theirs was a reign of
terror, and it naturally resulted in the or-.
ganisation of a law and order party by the
respectable element. The new party got
control of the municipal government and
at once began purging the camp of its
rowdies. A large force of picked men was
enlisted, and Ed Cudlhce was one of the
first volunteers accepted. Then beganthe
cleaning out process. Hardly a day passed
without a policeman shooting a thug or
being shot by one. The chief was assassi-
nated by a bully, who rode away and os-
oaped, and the dead man’s official shoes
were immediately filled by tho next in
cdmmand, and Cudihee was raised from
the ranks to a captaincy. The war was
continued until decency triumphed, and
Cudihee was finally elevated to the city
marshalship. Ho literally fought his way
. to the place, for in every dangerous duty
he was at the front.
“He has told me that he never killed a
man, and I know that he has frequently
refrained from taking human life when a
les- eonrageous or cool headed man in his
piece would have shot to kill, and his rep-
utation for daring doubtless made many a
desperade surrender quietly to him who
would not have voluntarily succumbed to
any other member of the force. Cudihee’s
conduct in that Seattle affair reminded
me of an almost similar incident in which
he flgumd and of which i was an eyewit-
ness. It happened in 1888 when Cudihec
was a captain. A big and burly lrishmau,
while frenzied by drink. shot a man in a
saloon and was the sole living occupant of
the place when Cudibee and one of his of-
ficers arrived. lie was standing over his
victim and brandishing his revolver when
Cudihce entered the door, and when the
murderer looked up and saw the police
uniform he pointed the pistol directly at
that part of it which covered the wearer's
heart and shouted, ‘If you come near me,
I'll kill you!’ (ludibce did not stop, did
not even falter; but, holding out his empty
hands, continued advancing, gazing stead
fly at the eyes of the desperate man as he
did so. There was something in that gaze
that seemed to fascinate, or perhaps the.
murderer was overwhelmed with aston~
ishment at the fcarlcssness of the advanc-
ing ofllccr. At any rate, the trigger was
not pulled, and Cudibeo, quietly saying,
‘I want that,’ wreucbed the weapon from
the still extended hand and in an instant
had the big man manaclcd.
“That was the greatest exhibition of
cool courage I ever saw in my life. When
Cudihee entered the door of the saloon,
the murderer was standing about a dozen
yards away from him, and fully 19 seconds
were consumed in his slow and deliberate
advance to the muzzle of the pistol aimed
at his breast. ’f—Portland Oregonian.

"We ought to have another our." This
is a statement that has probably been
made a thousand times in a thousand dliv
forest quarters during the last few
months: and the belief is vaguely cher-
ished by many who have not expressed it.
,A rest national war, many men think

industries, and greatly enhance the do-
maad for labor and the pun! laborers.
It would make a vast increase in the
number of persons employed by the gov-
ernment, which would in turn remedy
the present over supply in the labor mar-
ket. it would nwessitate vast expendi-
tures, which would set immense sums of

lessly struggling in the fierce competition
of crowded industries. Our last war was
followed by the most prosperous period
the country ever had, and why should not
history repeat itself?
Can it really be the case that war, with
its awful destruction of life and property.

its trampled fields and its burned home-
steadu, with its harvest of maimed and
crippled men, of wives made widows and

If what we need is some bold and de-
cided stroke that shall revitalize the
lethargic frame and restore its stagnant

The gist of the argument for war is that
it would provide employment and put
great sums into circulation. Cannot the
same thing be effected by peaceful means?
fiupposc, for instance, that the govern-
ment, instead of hiring a million men to
slay and be slain, should hire them to
make much needed roads, to improve and
fortify our harbors, to provide new water

comprehensive irrigation of our arid lands.

A blue serge dress, trimmed with braid
on the skirt and made with a three-ouch

THROW NG THE BOOMERANG.
The Wefpcn Was Known in the Ancient

Where is the boy who has not read, or
at least heard, of the farafamed Austral-
ian boomerang! And where is the boy
Who has not longed to know more about
it. to see one. and, perchancc, joy of all
Joys, to throw one?
This weapon is used by the natives of
India and Africa, but only the Australian
boomerang possesses the peculiar prop-
erty of returning to the thrower.
When an Australian throws a boomer-
ang be seizes one end, which is usually
made rough in order to afford a better
grip,and holds it backward in such a
manner that the concave side of the
weapon turns forward, somewhat as one
holds a sickle.
(iraspiugit firmly, he runs a couple of
paces forward. and then throws it in a
straight line before him. It is all impor-
tant that the weapon is hold firmly until
suddenly let loose.
The moment it leaves his band it turns
lutoahorizontai position and starts 03
buzzing like a spinning wheel.
Now, then, the boomerang. instead of
falling, so long as the forward motion
imparted by the thrower continues, will
rise. When the impetus ceases the
boomerang will begin to fall.
But, instead of falling straight down,
its course will be the line of least resistv
once, which is in the direction of the edge
that lies obliquely toward the thrower,
so that it returns on the same plane by
which it ascended.
