fx A PATRIOTIC REPUBLICAN
The Chesterfield Advertiser believes
JL in giving honor to whom honor is due
|V' regardless of who may be affected
m thereby. 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

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 |

((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

play, to watch her pretty pranks.

THE RED HAND
CorMikt by Tki WkMltr tyndlciU, Inc.
44 A L,lj BDoara: A,? aooaru rThe
guards who had charge
of the London local which was
doe to stop at Hackney shortly after
six o'clock In the evening, were even
more Insistent than usual In their demands
one night In the summer, for the
train was already late, and trying to
make up time. 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. The two were Identical to the
thousandth part of an Inch!
