And an uncommon ugly one, IL
is at the Exposition. 1t is the three
thousand dollar bcdstcad. 1t look.
like fussy, over dressed woman 1t
a party. 1t looks like rich, vulga
snob. The California steam plow
is graceful and airy looking beside
it.
It looks-It looks exactly like old
Nick's bcdstead. 1t has grinniny.
impish, ugly little wooden heads
sticking out all over it, and hanging
on pegs across its headboard. II il
enough to make one fancy We are
going back to the dark ages.
1t is covered with all the twisted,
distorted devices Of woodwork that
the hand of man can carve into it.
1t would take good half day to
dust it. And suppose the cimer tec-
tulorius should get into it once!
Horrible thought! There wouldn't
be corrosive sublimatc enough i'll
the universe to cleanse it.
1t is amusing to hear folks talk
about this mastadon of bedstead.
CANT it SWEET" says little snip
of a girl, with a big panier.
GLOW l would enjoy having it in
our spare chamber" says snJb-
boss.
Thea plain, practical man, with
common sense written all over him,
steps Mp. He looks steadtastlv at
the article minute or two, steps
back and looks ut it again, with an
expression of admiration not unmin-
glcd with awe, then pauses, then
contcmplates the piece Of furniture
"A third time. Finally he says, with
the calmness Of solemn conviction:
ats no use talking, that's fine
bcdstid, II It Is u bedstid."
TO think of spending all the time,
worry and labor that has been spent
over it, to put all the good timber
into it that has been put in, to haul
the ungainly thing mp to the Expo
sition rooms and unpack It, to
charge three thousand dollars for it,
and then have an honest man not
know whether it is q bcdstead or
not!
How would YOU like to 90 to bed
in it? First, You would step over in
to it with extreme care, lest YOU
wound Yourself on some of the innu-
merable sharp corners and carvings.
Then YOU would lie down aud east
your wildly-rolling eyes up at the
hcadboard; then, shuddering lest
the pile of lumber fall and crush
you, haunted to 4 nightmare dream
by the grinning little monkey heads
hanging upon the wooden pegs.
presently you would toss your arms
tcverishly out, only to skin your el-
bows against the horny woodwork
OF this three thousand dollar bed
stead.
Go to bed in it? Sink into a pile
of cherry chips and say your pray
crs.

THE LEE FAMILY.-Thc death of
Gen. Robert +. Lee naturally raises
the inquiry as to the relationship
that existed between him and the
Lees of the Revolution, about which
there has been much confusion.
Gen. Robert +. Lee was son of
Gen. Harry Lee (''Light Horse IIar-
rv'0 by his second marriage. He
had two brothers, Sidney Smith Lee
who commanded the steamship Mis-
sissippi, the flagship Of Commodore
Perry, in the expedition to Japan,
and who died eighteen months ag 8;
and Charles Carter Lee, who sur
wives him, and is II farmer in Pow
haitian county, Virginia. lie had
also sister, Il woman OF superior
endowmcntS, who married Mr.. Ed
win v. Childs, Of Boston, and died,
several wears ago, in Paris, where
she had long dwclt. Henry Lee, 4
son OF Light Horse Ilarry's" first
marriage, was man of brilliant
talents but irregular life, who wrote
Il lampoon on Mr.. Jefferson, well
known to collectors of American bi-
oyraphy and Ana. Gen. Robert +.
Lee had three sons in the rebel ar
my, w. II. Fitzhugh Lee, &. W.
Custis Lee Doth colonels) and Rob

Fitz Lee, the cavalry leader, was the
son of Sidney Smith Lee. Light

Just AFTER the death Of the howefs,
And before they are buried in snow,
There comes a festive season,
When nature is aglow.
Aglow with mystical splendof
That rivals the brightness of spring
Aglow with beauty more tender
Than aught which summer could bring.
Some spirit akin to the rainbow
Then bOrrOws the magical dyes, :.
And mantles the far-spreading landscape
In hues that bewilder the eyes,.
The sun from his cloud -shadowed chamber
Smiles soft on vision 70 gay,
And dreams that his favOrite children,
The flowers, have not yet passed away.
There's luminous mist on the mountains,
A light, azure haze In the air,
AZ IL angels, while heavenward soaring.
Had left their bright robes hosting there;
The breeze is so soft, SO careseing.
1t seems q mute token OF love,
And floats to the heart like blessing
From some happy spirit above.
These days, SO serene and SO charming,
Awaken dreamy delight
A tremulous, fearful enjoyment
Like soft strains of music at night;
We know they are fading and feeting.
That quickly, too quickly. they'll end.
And we watch them with yearning affection,
As at parting, we watch a dear friend.
o beautiful Indian summer!
Thou favOrite child of the year.
Thou darling whom nature enrichcs,
With gifts and adornments so dear!
How fain would we WOO thee to linger
On mountains and meadows awhile,
For our hearts. like the sweet haunts of nature
Rejoice and grow young in thy smile.
Not alone to the sad fields of autumn
DOst thou lost brightness restore.
But thou bringest a world-weary spirit
Sweet dreams of its childhood once more;
Thy loveliness fills us with memories
OF all that was brightest and best
Thy peace and serenity offer
A foretaste of heavenly rest.

Romans Of a Race of Giants Found
in Arkansas---Strange and Un-
known Pottery.

From the Memphis Appeal
Two miles west Of Barficld Point,
in Arkansas County, Ark, on the
east bank of the lovely stream call
ed Pcmiscott river, stands an In
dian mound, some twenty-five feet
high, and about an acre in area at
the top. The mound is called Chick
asawba, and from it the high and
beautiful country surrounding it,
some twelve miles in area, derives
it's name-Chickasawba. The mound
derives its name from Chickasawba,
a chief of the Shawnee tribe who
lived. died and was buried there.
The chief was one Of the last of the
race of hunters who lived in that
beautiful region, and who once pco-
pied it quite thickly-tor Indians,
we mean. From 1920 to 1881 he
and his hunters assembled annually
at Bartield Point, then as now the
principal shipping place Of the sur
rounding country, and bartcrcd Oft
their furs, pcltrics, buffalo robes and
honey to the white settlers and the
trading boats on the river. rccciv-
ing in return powder, shot, lead,
blankets, money, etc. Aunt Kitty
Williams, who now resides there,
relates that Chickasawba would trc-
qucntly bring in for sale at one time
as much as twenty gallons of pure
honey in dccrskin bags slung on his
back. He was always firm friend
of the whites, a man of gigantic
stature and hcrculean strength. In
his nineteenth year he took young
wife, and by her had two children.
In 1881 she died, and and the old
chief did not long survive her, dy-
ing in the same year, aged ninety
three or four years. Mr.. w. Fitz-
gerald, who moved to that country
in 1922, says that up to the time of
his death, Chickasawba supplied
him with game. lie was buried at
the foot of the mound on which he
had lived, by his tribe, most of whom
depa. ted from the nation immcdi-
atcly after performing his funeral
rites. a few, however, fingered
there up to a late date, the last of
them, We believe, being John East,
who, in 1860, at the breaking out of
the war, joined Chptain Charley
Bowcn's company, and fought the
war through, as gallant a "reb" as
any Of them, coming home in '05 to
return to the arts Of peace. Chick.
asawba was perfectly honest, and
the best informed chief Of his tribe.
His temporary chiefs were Long

FRANC.TIREURS.
Something About tho French Sharp.
sh0oterD,

There has been much argument
on the street among the reading
public. as to the correct definition
Of the word trauc-tireur, and in the
printing Offices among a fraternity
who are more directly interested i'll
being assured of the correct defini-
ton Of words in foreign languages
than any other working class in the
community. The word franc, in
the French language, means free,
and t;reur, a shooter. and in France.
by the payment of a trifling sum Of
money, anyone may obtain. license
to keep gun, and shoot freely after
all the necessary formulas are gone
through. Hence he is .fraac-tire-
ar, or free shooter. Many in this
country suppose them to be sharp
shooters, but the French word for
sharpshooter is tiroilleur, and it can
be readily perceived that there is no
similarity between that and franc
tirenr. They may be sharp>hooters,
it is true. but it is due to their con-
stant practice during the shooting
season in France. and to that same
license which guarantees to them
the free use of arms, and from which
cause many Of them may knock on.

left a son named John PemiscOtt.
A number of years ago, in making
an excavation into or near the foot
of Chickasawba mound, a portion Of
agigantic human skeleton was found.
The men who were digging, becom-
ing interested, unearthed the entire
skeleton, and from measurements
given us by reliable parties, the
frame Of the man to whom it belong
ed could not have been less than
eight or nine feet in height. Under
the skull, which easily slipped over
the head of our informant (who, We
will here state, is one Of our best
citizcns), was found a peculiarly
shaped earthen jar, resembling moth
ing in the way Of Indian pottery
which had before been seen by them.
1t was exactly the shape of the
round-bodicd, long-necked caraffes
or water decanters, a specimen of
which may be seen on Gaston's di-
ming table. The material of which
this vase was made was a peculiar
kind Of clay, and the workmanship
was very fine. The belly or body
of it was ornamented with figures
or hieroglyphics consisting of cor
rect delinention of human hands,
parallel to each other, open palms
outward, and running up and down
the vase, the wrists to the base and
the fingers toward the neck On ci-
ther side of the hands were tibia, or
thigh bones, also correctly dclinea-
ted, running around the vase. There
were other things found with the
skeleton, but this is all our inform
ant remembers. Since that time,
wherever an excavation has been in
the Chickasawba country, in the
neighborhood of the mound, similar
skeletons have been found, and un-
der the skull Of every one were found
similar funeral vases, almost exact
ly like the one described. There
are now in this city several Of the
vases and portions of the huge skel-
etons. One of the editors of the
-1pp"0f yesterday measured thigh
bone, which is fully three feet long.
The thigh and shin bones, together
with bones of the foot, stood up in a
proper position in physicians Of
flee in this city, measure five feet in
height, and show the body to which
the leg belonged to have been from
nine to ten feet in height. At Beau
forts Landing, near Bartield, in dig
ging a deep ditch, skeleton was
dug up, the leg Of which measured
between five and six feet in length,
and other bones in proportion. In
a very few days we hope to be able
to lay before our readers accurate
measurements, and description Of
the portions Of skeletons now in the
city, and Of the articles found in the
graves

Gen. Walker and the Census Blu
reau have been visited by cores
pondent Of the Chicago Tihunc,
who thus describes what ha saw:
Gen. Walker is handsome young
soldier, editor, author and married
man, with black moustachc, gray
ish hazel eye, several bullet wounds
and pieces Of broken bone inferred
beneath his neat exterior, and al
though little above thirty years Of
age, he has passed with modest ripe
ness through almost an epic career.
He was Gen. Grants unsolicited
choice for the important RESPONSE
bility, and he gives it dignity. The
western part of the commonwealth
of Massachusetts produces a degree
of young men such as no other ma
1ion can match for temperate wis
dom, valor and carriage, and Gen.
Walker is one of the clcvcrest of
these. His father, Amasa Walker,
the venerable author of the "Science
of Wealth." acknowledges his valu-
able assistance in the preparation of
that highly original book, and he
was also indispensable to David A.
Wells as tutor to secretaries of the
treasury. The census work is done
in four or five neat brick dwellings,
in quiet street behind the patent
office. walked with Gen. Walker
through the pleasant communicating
dwellings, of his bureau, and each
division was assembled under the
immediate eve of its chief, who took
a table by the entrance, while the
men, generally standing, performed
their calculations and made copies
at cheap, unpainted, bran new, pine
tables, set upon trcsscls. Every
thing looked mcthodical, earnest and
warm, and the majority of the clerks
wore shades or spectacles. | could
not hel Up observing, as looked into
these clean and busy rooms-So like
school-rooms-how quietly the pro
ceSscs of our federal state go on, so
unlike the ostcntation, parade. and
dramatic appearance of foreign bu
reaux, whore Gen. Boum presides in
all his rcgimentals and territicS the
clerical force with his "Piff. Patf !.
Poutf!' There is no department Of
the federal state which | have seen,
where there seemed to he such or
der, willingness and industry, as
here, and this is because the clerks
are not ''bossel" to and fro by poll
ticians, nor selected for their tcalty
