An Awful

Last night a man who had been play
ing for four or five hours at a faro-table
in Virginia said, in a quiet, determined
tone, to the dealer as he laid his last
dollars worth of checks on the tray
and five: "If l lose that I'll blow my
brains out" There was a hush in that
small o where souls are bartered
nightly for the chance of winning gold.
Youths, fevered with the excitement OF
the hazard, drew back at the awful
threat, and old gamesters cast an eye OF
dread upon the pale-faced mar who
staked his life upon a card. The gay
murmur which almost always rises from
a group of gamblers was hushed. The
long, thin fingers of the dealer trem-
bled. His colorless face twitched nerv-
ously. The jaw of the attending waiter
dropped, and his tray was held me-
chemically by the ~nerveless hand.
Slowly the cards were thrown from the
little silver-box. The five lost! The
money of the ruined gambler was add
ed swiftly to the dealers hoard. The
features of the lost gambler were ter
rible to behold. With one swift gesture
of despair, he turned and said to a friend
in a husky whisper, "Bob, lem me a
dollar" "Go to blank" replied the
faithless friend, as he laid a four-bit
check on the king. Then the relenting
suicide passed out and stood Fatty
Evans of for a plate Of oysters.-Gold

. Queer Marriage Stipulation.

Some time in August last an aged
nan named John Humphrey died in
Appleton, Me-, aged about 81 years. He
was universally known as a very misery
man, and it was supposed he had more
or less hard money secreted about the
premises of his homestead. Eight years
ago he contracted with Samuel Ripley
to take his farm and provide a support
for himself and wife during their lives.
Mr.. Ripley, feeling satisfied that there
must be money somewhere secrcted,
Immediately after the death of the old
gentleman began n vigorous search for
the supposed treasures, and was liber-
ally rewarded for the search by finding
secreted in an old desk two sacks filled
with double eagles of gold $3.50 each)
to the amount of $1,000 in each sack.
There was also found in an old sink,
laid away in An unoccupied closet, other
parcels filled with silver coins, many of
them of ancient date, and mostly for
eign coin, among them many five-franc
pieces Gan old French coin), and also
Mexican dollars and Spanish coin.
l learned from good authority that
Mr.. Humphrey denied himself and wife
even the comforts of life in order to
crafty his misery disposition to hoard
up his earnings and savings. l also
learned, as related by Mr.. Humphrey,
that he first saw his wife in a store try
ing to drive a very sharp trade with the
merchant, and discovering such a sharp,
shrewd, business tact, that he said to
himself, "That is the girl for me-" and
Immediately began cultivating an init
macy with her that resulted in a mar
riage union of their efforts to get and
hoard their earnings, and no doubt in
her days of consciousness she knew
where these treasures were secreted. 1t
is said that in their marriage contract
many stipulations were made and agreed
to on both sides, one of which was
''never to boil any meat that could be
fried. '-Can,den Herald.

mythology have failed because of these

mythology have failed because Of these
circumstances not being understood.
When Europeans first came to this
country they found the tribe most ad-
vanced in mythology, when they were
passing from mixed theo-fetichism,
animal gods, and hero gods, to the wor-
ship Of nature gods. But no native
North American people have been found
fully emancipated from the lower char
acteristics of their mythology. The
present condition is a growth from
~fetichistic p%olytheism, not a degenera-
cy from an original nature worship
through freaks Of symbolism and tricks
Of language. The growth from tho
lower form can be distinctly traced to
the various NEUROLOGICAL conditions Of
the different tribes.
The fable lore must be the subject OF
n separate essay. The mode Of wor-
ship and the means Of communicating
with the gods offer material for still
more extended consideration. 1t may
here be mentioned, however, that the
chief means Of communication are sor.
Gerry ~(including witchcraft), prayer,
dancing, singing, baptism and sacri.
fee; amulets are used to send little
gods after big ones, as well as the more
direct powers or influence they are
supposed to possess.

Prescription Of Germans.

INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 27.-The journal
publishes u letter from New Orleans, in
which the condition and brutal treatment OF
Gcrman merchants in the interior OF the
State Is graphically set forth. 1t says that
in nearly all the parishes the little country
stores are conducted by Germans, who are
well behaved and thrifty. This condition 10
eXasperating to the young growth Of aristo-
Gratis and the offspring OF what used to be
known as cher white trash.' Separate or
combined, these classes detest peaceful and
thrifty industries. 1t seems, according to
this correspondent, that the prosperity of
these German storekeepers, as well as their
dealings with the negroes In a legitimate
way, caused the white cbivalry to form what
are called "Regulators,' who have
served notice on the storekeepers to
cease trading with the cOlOred peo.
pie, under penalty Of having their
goods and stores burned. When compli.
ance has been refused the threat has been
fulfilled. In fact, the merchants have been
prosecuted so bitterly. that the German
Government has advised emigrants to avoid
Louisiana, and its representatives In New
Orleans have instituted inquiries which
against the white Democracy. As n result,
the Germans In New Orleans have formed
themselves into Republican Clubs In nearly
every ward in the city, with an alliance
with the Workingmen's Union for offense
and defense, and this in opposition to their
political course. which has been heretofore
Democratic. This has caused much con-
sternation in the ranks Of the Democracy;
but, presumably, the changes, though rad
ical, will not be likely to be weakened or
prevented,

science, 1900 in art, 1880 in machin-
cry, 1927 in agriculture and 10S in
horticulture. The number of exhibitors
from the United States is S,l75; from

by no means indicative of the relative

ST. JOSEPH, La, Sept. 19.-The States

ored people, who are all Republicans, have
been compelled to hold Democratic meet
ings and declare themselves for the Demo-
cratic party. They had to do this or leave
their homes. Some of them own their own
property. one horse and a cow, and are
compelled TO turn out and say they are for
the party they hate in order to save their
lives, Colored Republicans who have been
run away from home for four months TO
keep from being killed for making Republic
can speeches, have now been permitted to

BEFORE Indian couriers start on
their journeys a feast is made, and
they eat and dance, eating as much as
Il dozen white men would eat. They
call on their neighbors and eat again,
and continue dancing and eating until
nature, exhausted, forces sleep. After
sleeping a few hours they eat again,
and are then ready for business. They
mount the tleetest pony in camp, and
then start off, riding day and night,
without food, water or rest, for five
days sometimes. This operation is re-
peated several times, if their business
takes them to several tribes.
