It is a pleasure as well as a !duty to applaud the action of a Republican Congressman from the rock7 ribed Republican state of Maine. Democrats are as scarce in Maine as the proverbal hen's teeth?at least they are few and far between. But the other day in Congress when the anti-lynching bill was under consideration Congressman Ira G. Hersoy, a staunch Republican from Maine astounded his fello>v Republicans by denouncing it in the severest terms, i' arguing that it was not only unconstitutional but that it was aimed at the South and that't was unwise and unfair. It is impossible to give space to the speech in detail but these extracts will show the tenor and spirit of the Maine statesman's remarkable effort: Referring to the proposed bill as it referred to the South Mr. Hersey said: "The Southern states are enforcing .aws today similiar to the one provided in this bill, and better than many of the northern states are do V ing. It is their duty to so enact and enforce such laws. It is not the duty H of congress to interfere in the workB ing out of this great problem by the states of the union." Maine Congressman quoted ^^Bm Henry 'Grady in which that ^M^B.hless Southern orator said it wat ^B^^^Bgouth's problem to settle the race He continued, "since the davs of ^^BiBlaine and Grady, the sons of the "Blue and Gray, have fought side by side on land and on sea, first to lib erate the slaves of Spain, then next the soldiers of the north and the K 'south,forgetting partisanship and sec^B tionalism, have borne the old flag of the fathers to triumphant victory on BF the blood-red fields of France, and | while I am speaking to you together, Bt the sons of the Blue and Gray sleep side by side under the poppies of ^B Flanders field.

OLD BILL HAMILTON'S STRANGE DUEL WltH AN ENGUSHMAN j One of Lbe greatest of the old-time ' mountain men In western history was j William T. Hamilton, or "Old Bill" Humllton as he was known in the ' earlv (lavs In Montana Ulc atrnni/a i duel with an Englishman Is historic. ) Old Bill had offended the Englishman In some way, and the Britisher challenged him to a dual. "All right; I'll fight you!" said Old r Bill, "tyit I get to name the weap- ! oris and rules for the fight." The Englishman agreed, and this Is what Hamilton decided: Each man was to strip to the skin, go out to the Yellowstone river, and with an ax chop a hole In the Ice. Then the two men were to get down In these holes and sit in the water up to their shoulders. The first to leave this Icy bath was the loser. The contest begnu. The Englishman stood li for a few minutes. Then with a wild yell he leaped out and, with his teeth chattering, ran for a house and a stove as fast as he could. Old Bill followed close on his heels, calling the shivering Britisher every name in his vocabulary. Old Bill was declared winner of the duel. It had { been no hardship for Hamilton. He had lived among the Indians and was ' as hardy as they. He Is said to have been the only white man of Ids time who could strip naked, take a bow and arrows and shoot buffalo from horse DUCK 11$ WCIl IIS Hie SUVHgPS, Willi whom he lived. Hamilton finally settledi down nt Fort Benton, Mont., where he opened a log cabin hotel and a butcher shop. The governor of Montana appointed him sheriff of Choteau county, and he was also a deputy United States marshal. In 18t>"> the governor asked hi in to visit the Crow and tiros Ventre Indians and persuade them to come In to Fort Benton to make peace. "But how cun I go?" said Old Bill. "I hnve to look after my entln' house and butcher shop and 'tend to my duties as sheriff nnd marshal. I've got two prisoners on hand now and no jail to keep 'em In." Finally he consented nnd. accompanied only by an Indian hoy, he made the dangerous trip. After a series of exciting adventures he returned In safety, bringing the two tribes with him to the council. Old BUI died In 1908 at the age of elghty-slx. He was always proud of the fact that he had been a scout for the United States army, and to the day of TjIs death he kept the Stars and Stripes floating over the little log cabin where he lived. I "VAMPS" WHO 8 MADE HISTORY | > By JAMES C. YOUNG. | ((c) by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) A LIVING PICTURE OF BEAUTY. SOMETIMES we hear of the "baby vamp" as distinguished from the accepted heartbreaker. That deseriptlon Just fits Georgians, duchess of Devonshire, born In 1757, and the subject of one of the most famous pictures In the world. It was painted by Thomas Gainsborouglt when she was twenty-seven and hangs In the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York. The duchess was wed at seventeen, and by her twentieth year had become the reigning queen of London society. She soon was noted for her taste in oress ana was- oue of the first English women who ever had the courage to question Furls fashions, setting a few of her own. The leading men of the day gathered around her, among them Sheridan, the playwright, and Fox, the polltlclun. She had especial favor for these two. uml when Fox was hard pressed In an election she went about the London streets soliciting votes for him, which caused much talk. The duchess did not seem to care. Her beauty was n ready persuader. One day a butcher, bolder than the rest, offered to sell his vote for a kiss, which she promptly paid, and thereby gave rise to some famous lines about a butcher and a fox and a duchess. "1 could light my pipe at her eyes." said one gallant Irlshmun, who lo/ed her. with a host of others. Georglana was ever the "baby vamp." and In her blithesome way succeeded in obtaining a large measure of political power, which she used to benefit Fox. She also wrote a number of poems, all of them having a pretty sentiment, and some of them almost childish in tone They prove again that she was a "baby vamp." but a very sweet sort of |<er son, writing about the brooks and flow ers and Prince Cbarmlngs who rat away wun maiuens. in course, sto did not mention the maidens, such a* herself, who ran off with the princes The duchess' life was a pinch: stream. Into which serious troiihlt never entered. She continued to he 8 beauty up to the time of her death, alj forty-nine, living neither too little not to?. t ?i The world treated her kind ly. standing aside like spectators at i play, to watch her pretty pranks.

But a cry of consternation from one of the men who was hoarding the train brought the attendants flocking abound him. "Look I" he cried, pointing through the glass of the compartment toward the cushions of the seat on the far side. My Ood, man! Don't , you see? They are soaked with blood 1 And there's a man's walking stick and ; a black lentheT bag I Where's the oc! cupant of this qgmpartment?" That was the question which pua> 1 zled every member of the London poj lice force, and especially Col. James I'raser, head of the department. Where was the man who had very evidently been murdered in the ooach? Who was he? The black hag contained no Information whatever, and the walking stick was merely an ordinary one, lacking even Initials. The guard who had charge of thut car said thut he "seemed to recuil two men gettiug iuto that compartment at Fenchurst street, in London," but he wasu't sure. \Vhi>n Colonel ICrnsAr pinmlnpd IhA car carefully, however, lie found tli? print of n bloody luuul?u band with short, squat finders?on the wall of the coach, evidently where the murderer hud steadied himself after committing the crime. But where wa? the body? j This angle of the case was soon I cleared up by the discovery of the ' body of a man near the railroad tracks in Victoria park. The head and face had been so disfigured that Identification would have been almost impossible, had It not been for the card which was found In his vest pocket. By means of this It was found that the dead man was a cer tain Thomas Kriggs, chief clerk of a London banking house, who had been I <?n his way to visit his daughter In Pecklmin. According to his associates, he was In the hahlt of carrying a considerable s?'m of money with him, and also wore a very hnndsonie watch and chain. When the body was discovered, however, the watch, ohnln and the money were missing. Immediately after (he hotly-was discovered Colonel Fraser measured the fingers of the left hand, hut found that they were entirely too long and well : shaped to fit the bloody Imprint on ithe wall of the coach. Pinning his faith to the fact that the murderer would probably try to sell Rrlgg's watch and chain, the po- ^ lice settled down to watch all the pawn brokers in and around London, hnt d??vs missed without any developments from this end of the case. Finally, Just as Fraser was nearlug the end of his patience a second-hand dealer In Cheapslde reported thut a . chain, similar to the one worn hy I the dead mnn, had been brought Into I his establishment on the day after' the I nilinlBP Tho ^linln Km.l I, Aiiv X.JIIIII a, saw; omu, unti liccil plnced In with some others, and had slipped his mind, until he commenced to go over his stock. The only description he could {jive of the man who sold It was that he was "forelgn. looking," In fact he felt certain he was a German. More In order to quiet the press than because he attached any real Importance to the discovery, Colonel Fraser made public the detulls pf the dealer's story, and ihe following morning a man called at police headquarters, bringing with him a card which, he said his daughter had found on thefloor of the room recently occupied by Franz Muller. The card bore thename of the second-hand dealer who. had purchased the chain! "Muller, stated Fraser's Informant,, was a German who had-hoarded In his. house for some time past, but who had suddenly disappeared, leaving: most of his effects behind him. "Didn't happen to leave a photo-graph, did he?" "Yes, sir, he did. Here It Is." and the man produced a nlotnro whi.-i, ?i.? second-hand dealer Immediately Identified ns the man who had bold hlra the chain. It was a matter of only u few hours to trace the (ierinan to a .steamship office and to find that he had sailed, 4N hours* before, for America. Wishing his own men to have credit for the capture. Fruiter dispatched two of them to New York on u fast boat, and when Midler stepped off the gangplank he was arrested for the murder of Thomas llrlggs, although he vigorously protested his Innocence, and stated that he had bought the chain from a man on the street. As further proof of his assertion, he produced Rriggs' watch, which he snld he had bought at the same time us the chain. Inasmuch aa the guard who had' seen the men enter the coach at Fenchurch street could not positively Iden-. tlfy Muller, the case agAlnst him ap, p^red to lie very flimsy?until Colonel' Fraser compared the man's hand with* the bloody outline on the coach.
