read, when child. Of a wonderful maid
Who lived in the days of old;
How she won the heart Of gay young knight,
With slippers embroidered in gold.
They were. samples Of cunning, and genius,
Which his heart could never Withstand.
And so the designing young maid had her will ;
He offered his fortune and hand.
There was scarcely day in his after years
Unmarked by It's grief and care;
His life was a sOrrowful tale of woe
A burden that few might bear.
His skilled wife proved shrew and scold
As the slippers began to wear,
To ask for another pair.
But the relics he kept till his form was bent.
And his hair ives thin and gray;
And many a time at the noon-tide hour
He'd steal from his dinner away,
And many a time in the midnight still
He'd wake from his sweet repose,
To gaze for a while on the worn out heels
And the fancy work on the toes.
He talked to them oft of his early days,
Forgetting his sorrow the while;
And tho he despised their looks and their
ways,
They often provoked smile.
He often wished he was single again,
Rebelling against the fetter-
With the little experience had since then
He could take the slippers better.
And many lady has tried since then,
BY slippers to play her card.
The time draws near when these poor young
men
Must be strictly upon their guard;
For maidens steal at the dead of night
With none TO protect or shield,
Through street on street, to the workman neat
With their traps to be soled and heeled.

+" All RIghtee."

The Vallejo Independent tells the fol-
lowing good story;
A Iaughahle incident occurred one
evening recently on the up train to Sac
ramento. There were two seats in the
car turned so as to face each other.
One was occupied by a lady and the
other by a Chinaman. Evidently the
lady did not relish the presence of the
Chinaman, and set her wits te work to
oust him out. She succeeded about as
follows: Motioning the Chinaman to
rise, she explained to him that she
wanted 10 take the cushions and their
frames, and place them lengthwise
across from seat to seat John said all
rightee, and got out in the aisle while
she placed the seats as above described,
and then proceeded to lie down on the
bed thus improvised, with her head rest
ing on her valise.
She supposed that the Gilman an
would at once take the hint that the lady
wanted 70 take little rest, in the space
usually occupied by four persons. But
John hadn't heard Of the woman rights
movement, and at once proceeded to
crawl in and stretch himself By her side,
with bis head on q little bundle Of his
own. The Chinese are an initiative
race, and like to do az others do, you
know.
The lady, as soon as she discovered
that she had . bedfelloE, got up q little
wildly. aud started for the next car. 10

gers, who had been watching the little
scene with some interest John took no

its bottom lands, and which they used
10 cover their tepees or wigwams, they
called Cabin Grass creek. The country
then abounded in elk, deer. bear, cata
mount, wolves, geese. grouse, turkeys
and other small game. The bottoms,
known as Gooseneck, was famous re.
sort for elk and bear. As no white per
sons were allowed to enter the Indian
reservation without permission. and that
coveted privilege being una.tainable al
that time, Grandlouis and his wife
landed upon the rock at Randolph Bluff,
where they built cabin in snug shell
tered cleft in the bluffs, where they spent
the days.
Soon after the arrival Of the first
white family at the Randolph Bluff the
winter set in, and the Missouri river
closed over with ice. The colonists at
Randolph were then enabled TO cross
over the river upon the ice, and make
hunting forays into the Indian reserve in
the vicinity Of the Gooseneck, and the
mouth Of Blue creek, where they killed
as much game as they choose. One
day, during the absence Of her husband
aud her companions Madame Grand
louis observed large black bear ap-
preaching the cabin. 1t was walking
directly toward her, across the ice from
Gooseneck, and had reached nearly the
center Of the river, when it paused and
sat down upon the ice and proceeded TO
lick its paws, and conduct itself as quiz
etly and decently as bears are wont to
do when perfectly at home and happy.
Madame Grandlouis, young and athletic
asa fawn, rifle in hand, started forth
from the cabin to meet the visitor, aud
succeeded in reaching the scattered
mass of huge rocks now seen upon the
verge of the river bank where the North
Missouri railroad skirts the river. Here
concealed from the unsuspecting bruin,
she took aim and fred and killed the
monster instantly. This, said Madame
Grandlouis was no unusual occurrence
in those days, as both men and women
we're equally proficient with the rifle.
Although Madame Grandlouis was the
first white woman to reach within view
Of the Kaw's mouth, she was not the first
woman to settle here. The Grandlouis
family remained at Randolph Bluffs
until the following August, during which
time Madame Marie Berenice Chouteau
arrived from St. Louis, and took up her
abode at the trading post below the
present gas works. In August, when
Madame Grandlouis arrived with per-
mission to locate upon the Indian reser-
vation, she was rejoiced to find another
white woman already here. What JOY
must those two French pioneer women
have felt to meet each other there, in the
then wild solitudes of the upper Missouri
countryl Their love for each other lasted
through life, for when discovered by
Father Donnelly, in her SEVENTEEN year,
a lonely widow, she was the protege OF
her more wealthy friend. Madame Chou
teau never forgot her early friend and
fellow pioneer. Madame Grandlouis
lived in the vicinity until about seven
years ago, when she died, after attaining
the ripe old age of nearly one hundred
years She is buried in the old Catholic
graveyard on Pennsylvania avenue

Disappearance and ReappeRranee
of Land

1t requires an immense amount Of ar
gument and strong proofs to convince
some persons that any change is going
on in the physical aspect of a country,
They suppose and firmly believe the
land and water appear to-day precisely
as they we're at the subsidence Of the
deluge.
Even the everlasting mountains, as
they are POLITICALLY described by geogra.
piers, are gradually wearing away. They
crumble. and the winds and rains carry
away the disintegrated particles to raise
the common level of depressions and
elevate the surface of adjacent plains.
By this never ceasing process the
beds of all rivers are Swallowing, while
estuaries and the seas into which they
watt the earth held in solution, are grad
ually filling up with accumulated mud
By pressure from the great weight of
water above, the soft bed slowly hardens,
and in time, aided by other agencies in
nature, becomes a stratum of stone.
But one fact is more valuable in the
estimation of doubters in regard to the
ever changing condition Of matter than
a whole volume of descriptive phenom-
ena.
Where the Zuyder Zee now is, within
historical times, was dry land in the
thirteenth century. In that territory
we're two lakes. A mighty inundation
broke through the neck of land between
them, and the water rushed quite to the
gates of Utrecht. From that period for
two hundred years the water gained, and
finally got the ascendency, swallowing
up extensive forests and tracts of culti-
waited land; not only that, but the sub
merged ground seems to have sunk very
considerably, as large vessels at this par
ticular epoch sail freely over where were,
once fine roads and beautiful fields.
Lastly, in 1906, the fresh water was
wholly displaced by an influx of salt
water, and those islands now marked
on charts we're cut off from the main
land. Thus the Zuyder Zeo became an
arm Of the sea. This is one example of
the law of terrestrial changes.
