j In tho development of a country lta
pi't>|ile are developed also. The leaders
in the primitive state often become the
| leaders in Its developed condition.
t Sometimes they take on a higher re

i When the first railroad was pushing
its way across the great American
desert I. being fond of hunting wild
name, went to a small town on that
part of the line that was finished and
made it my headquarters for hunting
buffaloes and other game. I boarded
with a Mrs. Copeland. Whether sho
was a widow, a brevet widow or held
no matrimonial commission whatever
no one cared, and no one asked. Her
regular boarders called her by her first
name, Kate. She was ono of those
womcu who tit In readily with uncouth
surroundings. Her boarders were all
men, but every man was respectful to
Iht, in accordance with the manners of
the country. They did not hesitate to
swear in her presence, and probably If
one nt them should have had a diffi
culty with another neither would have
hesitated to shoot in her presence, but
sn far as she was herself concerned she
was immune from any disrespect what
ever.
Mrs. Copeland was but twenty-three
years old and tolerably good looking.
She showed no preference for any of
the men with whom she cuine in con
tact and accepted no attentions from
any one of them. She treated them all
alike, except one, Peter Coyne, whom
she seemed disposed to quarrel with.
Coyne had been a professional gam
bler. but had recently turned his at
tention to a contract he hud with the
railroad for taking dirt from where it
was iiiit needed and putting It where
rails were to be laid. He appeared to
be the most forceful of Kate's board
ers. and 1 wondered why she singled
liiin out for ill usage. Her treutment
seemed to trouble him, und every time
she scolded him he would hang his
head and take what she said to him
like a iruilty schoolboy.
I noticed that Kate's reprimands to
Coy no won* never occasioned by any
ill treatment of her. Sometimes they
arose from differences of opinion,
sometimes because rfie was unmindful
of i he feelings of others, and once I
heard her abusing him because be had
shown a tendency to backslide into his
former profession of gambling. Just
before 1 left I witnessed a makeup
after one of the dressings Kate gave
Coyne, and it was very amusing. The
big man had got a posy somewhere
and offered it to her as a peace offer- .
itig. lie went up to her with it as j
shyly as if he expected her to open on
him with a six shooter.
Soon after this little episode I finish-'
ed my hunting operations aud return-!
ed to the east The railroad and other I
transcontinental lines were alshed, I
and the western part of North Ameri- j
ca began a development that has work
ed wonders. New farming territory |
was opened, towns and villages sprang .
up with modern conveniences, and the
people, throwing off their uncouth
manners with their rough dress, were |
transformed into ladles and gentlemen.
Some twelve years after my hunting
trip to the west 1 had occasion to visit 1
Washington. Congress was In session, i
aud the social season was at Its height
At a reception of the president which
I attended. I was moving about among !
the throng when I met a mau and a i
woman handsomely dressed, both of J
whose faces seemed familiar to me. !
The lady showed signs of recognizing
me. but passed on with only the sign. !
Later a man, evidently a westerner, |
approached me and said:
"Meg your pardon, sir. There Is a
lady in another room who desires to
speak with you."
I followed him, and be led me to tbo
woman I had met shortly before.
"Mrs. Senator Coyne!" said my con
ductor, and since he did not know my
name he left us.
I stood looking at the lady wonder
ingly, while she sat looking at me with
an amused expression on her face.
Then suddenly through the silk and
luce gown she wore I recognized the
woman I bad boarded with years be
fore. I grasped hor hand.
"You would hardly recognize In me,"
she salcl, "the woman you boarded
with when on your hunting trip, would
you? And you wouldn't have expected
that 1 would marry Pete Coyne. Fact
is. I saw there was the making of a
line man iu Pete, and when you were
with me 1 was trying to get him up
ou to a higberplane. He made money
liy contracting, and after awhile 1
married him. Then when the terri
tory becauio a state be was sent to
congress. That led to bis being made
one of the state's senators, and here
we are right in it for all we're worth."
"And 1 assure you," 1 replied, "one
would not suspcct but that you were
born here."
"Oh, this is my third winter In Wash
ington. When I first came I was pret
ty rough. But, you sec, Pete was
rougher tbau I, so I had to pull myself
together and get on to society ways
In order to polish him. That's been
my hardest job. Pete Is older than 1
am, and you can't mako a gentleman
of a man after he's grown up. It's
hard enough to make a lady of a 'wo
man."
Nevertheless Senator Coyne was a*
intluentlal man in the senate durlof
the time he represented his state ther*
1 was probably the only person is
Washington who knew tfint he 0W«f
his rise to Kate Copelana
Conditions Daily Going From
Sad to Worse.
CRISIS JUST LIKE CUBA'S.
Two Administrations Failed to Clean
Up Island Until Armed Forces of
Nation Were Used—Likewise Two
Administrations Have Failed to Bring
About Law and Order In Mexico.
By ARTHUR W. DUNN.
Washington, .May It!.— [Special.]—It
is bard to improve conditions such ns
now exist in Mexico. For more than
two years Mexico has been going from
bad to worse and apparently every ef
fort to bring order out of the chaotic
conditions has failed. Some of the
steps taken have been productive of
greater evils! than previously existed,
making the (ask of pacilhators and
mediators extremely dliUculr.
In this respect Hie situation is akin
to that which prevailed in Cuba before
the war with Spain. For years the
conditions in Culm grew worse, and
all efforts lo have Spain pacify the
island or restore peace :.wl tranquillity
proved absolute failures. Two admin
istrations endeavored to settle the Cu
ban question which w :.i dually left to
the arbitrament of armies. Two ad
miui-tratioi have tried to settle the
Mexican question an.I yet the condi
tions are crowitm worse day by day.
Near Intervention.
I have always believed that some
time intervention in Mexican affairs
wonU1 lie as necessary ns was inter
vention in CiiIkiii nft'airs. With so
ninny American citizens living in .Mex
ico. with so uiiicli American money
invested, with so tunny foreigners with
their investments in that <• unlry. it
seeuis to lie necessary for ■me coun
try to establish a stable government,
ami the United States is Hint country.
It is one of those peculiar conditions
where nobody really minis Interven
tion and yet it seems to be Inevitable
in spite of the desire of the people to
keep out.
International Lnw School.
The senate of the I'tiited Stati - has
become an Internation-il ' \v !»• ml
while (lie dlseti->ioll of 1 imiii.i
canal toils has been gc:; - on. Not
only have the senators been i i-truct
ing or informing each other, but they
have been delivering s| ee- lies w Inch
will be referred to hereafter when in
ternational complications are consid
ered.
Such discussions always follow when
a dispute arises ovei lite construction
of a treaty. And it seems that 1 h:-s
been the aim of treaty makers to make
them so obscure that they will give
rise to just such a complication ns we
are baring over the llay-I'auncefote
treaty on the canal tolls. The only ad
vantage the country gets out of it is
this seht •! of international law which
the senate is now conducting.
Keep at It Long Enough.
It seems to be generally understood !
that if claimants will keep at it long
enough they will finally get favorable
action by congress. For nearly fifty
years there has been pending in con
gress a proposition to restore lite an
nuities to certain bands of Sioux In
dians, which were cut off when tin-"
Indiilus went ou the war path in west
ern Minnesota in 1MI2. The bill has
finally got to the point where it has
passed the house, and in all probability
It will pass the senate this session. It
has been turned down right along up
to this time, but it now looks as if these
Indians would secure a large sum of
money.
Information Wanted.
Congressman Barton of Nebraska
wants luforumtlou. He insists upon
knowing what lias become of tile riens
ley resolution—that measure which
passed congress in such a rush and
with a few dissenting votes and pro
posed that this government should as
sist in a "naval holiday." it was
Winston Churchill of England who
Jocularly suggested the *navnl holi
day," but the American congress did
not take it as a joke. Marlon does not
intend that the resolution shall be
pigeonholed forever if he can help it.
Will Not Be Disturbed.
Minority Leader Mann was telling
the bouse one day that he did not'be
lieve members were unduly influenced
lie said he received a great many let
ters and telegrams urging'him to give
attention to certain matters or support
certain measures.
"I have given instructions," said
Mann "that uo telegrams are to bo
delivered to mo until morning, and
then they are turned over to my sec
retary. I have instructed my secre
tary to give me no telegrams in ref
erence to prohibition or suffrage."
There is a suspicion that a great many
telegrams are being received by mem
bers of congress on both these sub
jects at this tinTb.
Very Few Left.
John Lind. the president's special en
voy to Mexico, spent many days in
Washington and decided to put in some
of his time visiting his old friends
In the house. But he found it some
what lonesome, as there were only two
men in the house who were there when
Lind was a member. One is Sereno B.
Payne of New V'ork and the other W.
A. Jones of Virginia.
