HE Old Time is a great reader of newspapers, magazines and current literature in general, but we have also read the crests of the nearby mountains and dark shadows form and glide swiftly down their rugged sides, he removes his reading glasses and resolutely looks at the may have in hand until another day. "I hate to leave that interesting article unfinished," he often says. "Of course I know. I haven't long to live, but so long as I last I wish to retain my eyesight," he says. "But per the Scribbler is glove to stop, too, as are any other guests in the house, for then begin the most pleasant hours of the twenty-four. Evenings at Lone Bute ranch never drag; dinner is served at $3. The guests come the pleasant hours in the 'shack,' as the Old Timer uses his favorite room," the one fixed up in exact imitation of a rude frontier cabin of the olden time. Slitting before the glowing, crackling logs the comfortable buffet or lounging upon which打架 it, he buffet and his friends live over again the stirring scenes and adventures of other days. And those friends and frequent guests, what a strange assent to the nature of life, who like their host, have passed long years on the plains and speak the native language as they do their own; Indians, dark and reserved, yet eager to participate in reminiscences of the buffet, breedless, too light and dark of feature, bribeful of Jesus and light-hearted talk. For once the Old Timer and the Serbier sat down to dinner vis-a-vis; not another soul was in the house but the kitchen. "Rather quiet to night, isn't it?" the former remarked. Just then the housekeeper entered and announced that an old Indian had arrived and was warming himself by the kitchen fire. "That's good," the old man said. "I'll bet we get some kind of a yarn out of him this evening. Take him to the shack, and we will have a slip on a leopard of man three or four pounds at least, and what other edibles you may have. Don't forget to make him his coffee very sweet and give him a pitcherful of it." He then set the dinner leisurely, and then having finished with a bottle of wholesome wine reaped to the shack. The Indian had already finished his huge plaster of meat and was give him a plastered on the floor before the fire, dressed in a gown and glowing logs. He arose at the sound of footsteps, a tall, gall, weather-beaten fellow, whose wrinkled face and iron-gray hair that he had seen many a winter come. "Hat!" exclaimed the Old Timer, grasping his hand and addressing him in the Indian's language. "Why, it's my old friend, Baven Quilter. What brings you to the Indian cold weather? Men as old as we are shivering at the fire pretty at this season." "All! the Indian replied. "I am old, its true, but I cannot content myself to sit idly by the fire day after day; my youth. Moreover, the desires are still those of my youth. Moreover, the remains of some great monster in a spring, and knowing how you prize all such things I could not rest until I had brought them to you. Here they are." Dragging from the corner a large, brown bone on the floor—a huge bone on the floor—a split shinbone, showing the fossilized marrow, which was black, the other part being an ashy gray. The Old Timer's eyes sparked with pleasure, the remains of a mastodon. Too bad they were not, however, they are a valuable find, and I'll just place them here for the present. Well, friend"—to the Indian"—fill your pipe and tell us all about it, and if you as well add the bonus there were at the spring. Raven Quiver filled the great stone pipe, lighted it from the fire, and after inhaling thick clouds of the pungent mix of "terzo" and "terbio" and tobacco, began his story. "When she said that, I thought that I had heard something like it when a boy; yet I said to myself, it can't be true; I didn't know the name, who had long shelves full of such bones, but nothing ever bothers him; he sleeps as soundly as any one. I will not be scared by an old woman's talk. I know that he is on the night, right near the head of the bed." "In the evening I had many visitors; news of my find had spread through camp and the people came to see the bones of the man who had brought others came Old Sun, the medicine one of our people. You know him. Nearly a hundred years have whitened and thinned his hair and wrinkled his face. It is quite feeble, but he is what he well all the roots and leaves which will cure people of various lilies, and he has a secret helper who enables him to find great favor with the gods; they listen to him and give him wisdom and derful memory; all the lakes he ever heard, all the traditions, all ancient history of our people as handed down from father to son through all the ages are stored in his mind. His grandchild led him to the sea, and placed him in the seat of honor; my woman gave him soup and meat. When he had feasted I handed him the freshly lighted pipe and we smoked together in silence for a time; then he asked that my bones one by one be held, and I placed his hands over them carefully, feeling their shape, spanning their breath and thickness, noting with his quick, slender fingers every peculiarity about them. "Al," he said, but very low, as if talking to someone else. They are bones of one of those dreadful ancient animals our forefathers feared so much. And then, after a little, he told me that they should not be kept in the lodge or in camp, let bad lack befell me when he said that my old woman gave me a much as to say: "I told you how foulish you were not to listen." "Tis the way of women to try and make a man think that they are wiser; I would have revered her foundly for her forwardness. I had not been so anxious to listen to Old Sun. "When I was a youth," the old man said, "I well remember hearing the old story tellers relate what had been handed down to them about this dreadful animal, sometimes it was called the ancient one, and sometimes the water animal. Just how it looked I never learned; it was said that it had long horns growing out of it, very long nose, and that it was so large that it was chosen the Missouri whenever it chose to do so. "When, after climbing steadily all day, they arrived at the summit of the mountain, nothing was to be seen to the eastward but peak after peak of snow-covered rock, and so for many days they alpine and deep cannons. They suffered from cold; their moccasins were out and the rough rocks cut their feet; game was scarce, and what little they managed to kill barely kept them alive; they began to think that they would soon perish. But they on ahead and had reached the summit of a low mountain began to whoop and dance about, and beckon the others to hurry up; they seemed to be greatly excited. The rest, women and children and all scrammed upward as fast as they could, and jumped up to the top, what a beautiful sight met their eyes; there, almost at their feet, lay the broad, green plants and timbered hills, fairly alive with game, not only deer and elk, but other large creatures the like of them had never seen before. That night the camp was filled with red, fat meat. "If the people had found a rich country they had also found a dangerous one, for there were many large and fierce anemones that could claw their baws which did not fear to charge the hunters, and women and children wandering about in search of berries, and to place them on their weapons. The hunters' weapons were bow and flint-tipped arrows, flint-headed spears and war clubs were all they had. Good enough, to be sure, with which to slay the deer and elk, and even the buffalo, of little use against an angry bear. "After looking around for the best locality, the wanderers had chosen a large grove on the borders of a wide, clear stream for their permanent camp, and one, surrounding it by a high construction of logs, dirt and stones, to keep out the animals which were always prowling around in search of the meat they scavenged for. And that they were secure from harm; but one dark night after the fires had died out and every one was in bed, part of the wall next the river went over with the water, huge animal, breathing and grunting with its powerful, walked through the camp, trampling upon the lodges and knocking them out of its way and crushing several persons with its enormous feet. It did not turn out to be a successful attack, straight through, knocked over the wall at the rear, and wandered away in the grove. The people slept no more that night; they built up the fire and sat around in great fear, wondering what might happen to them, mighty power. At daylight the hunters crept forth cautiously on the animal's trail, which was easily enough followed, for its huge feet left deep holes in the ground. They were in small trees in its way as if they had been mere rushes. Leaving the grove, they THE APPEAL.

They saw many animals, and they saw a brood and a brood, hard trill run between the timber and the River. As they skirted the edge of the grove, try to get sight of it, the great beast suddenly rushed out at them, and one poor hunter was caught by its feet. The rest all ran to the river and managed to escape by swimming. "That night the men sat long together, deviding some way to escape the awful fury of this animal, for they felt sure that sooner or later it would break them and had them say, a man who had been thinking deeply spoke up: "It is certain," he said, "that we cannot kill this destroyer of our people with arrows and a knife, but we can dig a deep hole in his trail, cover it with logs, brush, grass and dirt, and once he steps on them we will have him sure." It was a simple plan and they all agreed that it would do. The next day they would go to the river to where the animal's path led from its grove to the water's edge, and a little ways back from the stream they began to dig a hole across it. With fire-hardened sticks, with shoulderblades and sharp stones and willing hands, they dug and scraped until they had a large deep hole with straight walls. Then with driftwood from the river, with brush and grass they covered it over, and has put them in a large hole and smooth so that it looked like the rest of the trail.

And now that I have given you the bones and of the revergent spirit which guards them you must look out, for I am released." "I think," said the Old Timer, "that I'll try the old ghost-to-night. I'll place the bones at the head of my bed." "Whatna Quine, shoot his head," "You white men," he muttered, "a queer race; I wonder if there is anything on this earth, or in the water, or in the air, that you fear?

One of the scientific puzzles of the State of Mississippi is the "Brandywine Stone Wall." It has long been a problem that is yet unsolved. Some time ago, the Governor Watson of Haskell county read a Gov. Wade letter and acquired of an immense pile of stones in the southeastern portion of Ciblaorne county, suggesting that the stone might be utilized in building the new house. The governor accompanied the drawing Mr. Watson to that three stones, piled high on each other, cover an area four miles square. Each stone is six feet long, three feet wide and two feet thick, and they are covered with an excellent quality of cement. No, they have been there they came there. They have been there for thousands of years. The builder, the Jackson (Miss.) News thinks, were some prehistoric race—it could not be a human race.

On Monday a decision was handed down in the Supreme Court of the United States confirming the constitutionality of the separate coach or "Jim Crow" car law of Kentucky. The case originated in the failure of the Chesapeake and Ohio railroad to comply with the Kentucky law, which requires separate cars for white and Afro-American passengers. The law was upheld by all the State courts, and the company appealed to the United States Supreme Court on the theory that the law must necessarily interfere with interstate commerce, and that the State Legislature had passed it with that intention. In deciding the case to-day and upholding the law, so far as it concerns passengers within the State of Kentucky only, Justice Brown quoted the decision of the Kentucky Court of Appeals, that the law in question really intended to regulate the action of --- STUCK ON IT.

Justice Brown holds that white and Afro-American passengers traveling from one State to another cannot be separated by law, and in upholding the law he expresses the opinion of the Supreme Court permitting States to pass separate coach laws, but preventing the application of the same principle to interstate commerce. President McKinley, in his message to Congress, denounces lynching in these words: "In my inaugural address I referred to the general subject of lynching in these words: " 'Lynch must not be tolerated in a great and civilized country like the United States. Courts, not mobs, must execute the penalties of the law. The preservation of public order, the right of discussion, the integrity of courts and the orderly administration of justice must continue forever the rock of safety upon which our government securely rests.' "This I most urgently reiterate, and again invite the attention of my countrymen to this reproach upon our civilization." At Lebanon, Ill., two Afro-American farm hands were tortured by two white tramps because they refused to steal. The tramps tried to compel them to steal poultry from the farmers of the vicinity. Upon their refusal they were dragged to a log fire in the woods, their shoes and stockings were removed, and their feet held over the fire until the flesh was nearly cooked, and they became unconscious. When they regained sensibility the tramps had fled. After two days the victims were able to crawl with great difficulty and pain to a farm house, where their wounds were attended.

Well may the patriotism, the marvelous development of statesmen, generals, and jurists, be lished to the government, and its grand officers on the slavery question." It was in that that the anti-slavery battle was fought. Fourteen hundred and sixty-five men of 1881 entered the field. There are people who have been or still are present in Illinois.

Defective Page During and after all periods of prosperity the private schools and the colleges secure an increased membership, for the students to pay for the education paired to pay for the instruction of their children. That the figures have this year gone far beyond anything ever before known is, of course, largely accounted for by the fact that the number allowing fully for all that, it is still true that the number has greatly exceeded any former proportion in the population studied. It may be well to explain that the word college, as referring to American institutions, is on the average more true than the word university. There are, in name, more than one hundred universities in the United States, but there are not a half dozen; but in these days, when a "professor" may be anything from a bootlead to a Sanscrit scholar, it would be to quarrel with the great thing is that the rush for higher education was never so strong or so general as it is in the present day.

"Man's Enemy," an English melo-drama in four acts and nine scenes, which is credited with the longest London stage, and not in its second in this country, will be the attraction at the Grand the coming week, commencing Sunday night at 8:15. The play is by Charles H. Landon and will be performed half alternately in London and Monte Carlo, and is written in a far superior manner than the majority of English melo-dramas, as it is thrilling and pleasurable to the audience for its pleas forly to an audience by reason of its continuous dramatic interest, and is practically a powerful presentation of the evils of intemperance and the climaxes of solly melo-drama and the climaxes of melo-drama. The fight between the half crazed hero and the villian at the end of the third act is intensely exciting and it is arouses the audience to its very high levels. It has a plot which is strong and interesting in itself and moves swiftly from one situation to the other. It stands no need of vaudeville feats, but no need of the London stage and their absence is a decided relief. The company supporting Miss Dorothy Rossmore is a carefully selected one and each artist has been selected with a view as to their special fit and the role they assume. The scenic effect of the carriage complete for this attraction, are unexcelled by any attraction in beauty and massiveness.

Steam engines and dyna- mos for electric lighting have been as- soclated with garbage “destructors.” Lord Kelvin evinced great enthusi- asm over and confidence in this prop- osition three or four years ago. ‘The latest development of the idea, has Dossibly been suggested by the present high price of coal in Europe.
