help the Captain to some good position
If she chose. Frank did not need money,
and why should not these two be made
happy? So one day | managed that we
should meet the Captain and Nellie CON-
ing back from the French class. Strange
enough, it was the Captain that was the
most embarrassed: dear mother saw
only that he was wounded man, and
with her tender sympathy, strove to set
him at his ease.
"What regiment did you belong to,
Captain?" she. asked, as they walked on.
He hesitated.
Excuse my question. I've lost two
boys. One is missing, and l always ask
every soldier to help me find him.

AS he met her eager mother-gaze, he
could bear up no more.
"Ah, mother! mother! Such a
wreck" he said. But she had tainted
the sudden joy almost killed her. Har-
ry said afterward that he never felt his
loss of power more than at that mo-
ment; he could not lift his mother nor
run for help. But help came, and she
was soon restored. For days she could
not let "her boy" as she called him,
out of her sight, and listened again and
again to the account of his sufferings in
prison, and loss of first his leg and then
his arm.

struggling with limited means, and
that his life insurance would be a help

An Indian Sqgaw Man.

To steal and not to be found out is
counted a virtue by the Sioux warrior,
but. to be caught in the act or to be
found in possession of the stolen prop
erty is disgrace, and it is the privilege
OF the squaws to taunt and tease him,
who exercise this privilege to the fullest
extent, and to be ridiculed by a squaw
is the worst degradation that can be in
filcted; consequently he very seldom
steals. Should he be caught in the act
three or four times, he would be shun-
ned by all the warriors and made squaw
man. He is then disgraced forever,
being debarred from all warrior pro-
ceedlngs whatsoever, which disgrace to
an Indian is worse than death, and
many prefer death to the punishment
and kill themselves. When a warrior
or young man is made squaw man,
the head men of the tribe take his gun,
bow and arrows, ponies, all his war APP
parel, in fact every thing, and in turn they
are given to the parties whom he had
stolen from and to destitute widows and
orphans of fallen braves, and the thief is
turned over TO the mercy of the band.
But should he be a successful thief outside
OF his own band, then he is praised for
his sagacity, and the more he steals the
higher he gets. Should he luckily hap
pen to be a brave Indian and lucky
thief, combined, then he is away up on
the brave list, and no expedition is fitted
up but he is invited to be one of the
party, very often as its leader. This
kind of individual is a terror to the
squaw man, as he invariably taunts
him when and wherever he meets him.
There is but one squaw man in the
whole of Red Clouds band. have
personally seen him, and his life is q
hell on earth. He has to do every
thing that no other Indian would do, and
never receives kind word unless it be
from some kind-hearted missionary. I
tried to find out what he had done, but
could not, as there are several WAYS to
reduce an Indian to that position, and
no amount of inquiry will make them
disclose the facts to outside parties;
and, as the last Indian [ asked said,
:. Heap talk too much" ~ gently took the
hint. To act the coward in battle. to
disobey an order from the chief where
there is any danger, to try to skulk or
get out OF any dangerous undertaking
when detailed for It, 90 to make the
squaw man.-Cor. Chicago Times.

A Man Frozen to Death with the Their
m0meter at 80.

Mr.. James Knox, young man of the
eastern part of this county, says the
Meridian (Niiss.) Mercury, has been
strangely afflicted for about a year.
Hot or cold, he was always affected as
freezing to death. His case has been
examined by several skillful physicians,
and, we understand, has puzzled them
all. He was continually using all the
devices to warm himself that man
might who had been chilled by ex-
posure to extreme cold, sitting around
rousing fires enveloped in blankets, and
the house closely shut up. and this
though the weather was at summer heat
1t is said that he would sit by the fire
and hold his head down to it and almost
roast it in the effort to warm. 1t IS q
factthat he put cloths on his head to pro
teet the scalp from actual burning WINE
doing this, and the cloths have actually
been set on fire by the heat he subjected
them to in endeavoring to warm hi'
head. Some time ago he made a visl,
to Livingston, in tseo hope of being bene-
fitted by the artc.ian water, when DIR.
Webb, Of that town, saw his case.
Lately he had determined to return to
Livingston and try again the waters,
and again consulted Dr. Webb, going to
his Office for that purpose. He seemed
as one suffering with extreme cold, and
asked DIR. Webb if he had any fire in his
Office. He told him that he did not,
and that it was too hot to have fire and
be comfortable. He said he could not
stand it, and ran out of the office into
the street for the benefit of the sunshine
to warm himself. The next day DR..
Webb had him in his office again to
make more critical examination of his
case, and had him rousing fire. He
carefully tested with thermometer the
degree of animal heat he carried, and
found it near normal. With all of this
trouble he lost little flesh, and kept a
good appetite for food, and preserved
rather healthful look. On Friday he
started home again in wagon, with a
Mr.. Meadows driving it. He had not
gone far out of Livingston before he
wanted to return, complaining that he
was freezing to death, and wanted to
get somewhere to warm. Meadows in
sisted on continuing the journey on
home, and drove forward, Knox Jump
ed out of the wagon and raueoff into the
woods. Meadows pursued him and com.
PEELED him to return and get into the
wagon again, and drove on. He got as
far as Mrs. Peteet's-Green Grants old
place--with him. Mrs. Peteet had OBJ
served Meadows driving slowly along
the road, and knowing he had gone to
fetch the sick man home, went out to
the gate to make inquiry. When Mead
ows drove up and stopped, to her in
qairy he said he believed Jim Knox was
dying. He was lying stretched help
less in the bottom of the wagon, and
after it had stopped only gasped a few
times and died, apparently freezing to
death last Friday, with the thermometer
at near 90.

"That GoIden Heart of THINE :,

" From out nameless Northern land,
Where time and space are naught,
A hero comes, to claim the hand
That old-world kings have sought.
Why tarries he upon the sea!
And yet, his troth is true;
The heart is gold that chooses me,
The beauty of Peru.
I" deck and make myself more fair
In robes that stately fall
With soft sea- pearls crown my hair,
And clasp my saffron shawl.
White, sun bleached sails slip down the
beach
With airs of spice and gum:
But every bounding pulse will teach
My heart when he has come.
From North to South. from heart to heart
What distance, far yet near;
For never sea rolled yet to part
What youth and love held dear.
In dreams see him; he is fair
His mien no grace doth miss -
Igreet him, proud his name to bear,
And, kneeling, take his kiss.
" But now, no dreami 'twlxt stately lines
OF boats ranged from the quay,
A ship, with masts like Iceland pines,
Comes swift to port, and me!
Yea! thus he comes: North to the South!
I meet him, hand to hand,
And greet him, queenly, mouth to mouth,
And lead him, proud, to land

THERE is strong evidence that the art
of printing was practiced in China long
before it was known in Europe. The
ancient Romans were very near to ar
irving at the discovery Of printing
They bad engraved or stereotyped
plates, with which they stamped pot
terry, etc. When the art was first prac-
ticed in Europe only one side of the Leaf
was utilized. Afterwards they came to
paste the two blank sides together. Cax-
ton, wealthy merchant, having been
sent to make a commercial treaty with
the Duke of Burgundy, returned to
England with this invaluable art in 1864.
The invention of the italic letter was
made by Aldus Manutius. Observing
the Inconvenience of using a vast num-
Der of observations, he contrived the ex-
pedient of the italic letter, which was
originally named after him, the Aldine.

Died While Reading Cicero.

The following letter, descriptive of the
last hours of William Ellery, one of the
signers of the Declaration of Independ-
ence, who died at Newport, r. T., in
1920, has never before been published.
1t was written by an intimate friend of
the family, and has recently come to
light:
"MARcH IA, 1s20.-Old Mr.. Ellery
died like philosopher. In truth, death
in its common form never came near
him. His strength wasted gradually
for the last year until he had not enough
left to draw in his breath, and so he
| ceased to breathe. The day on which
he died he got up as usual and dressed
himself, took his old flag bottomed chair
without arms, in which he had sat for
more than half a century, and was
reading Tully's Offices in the Latin,
without glasses, though the print was
as fine as that of the smallest pocket BIZ
BILE. DR.. w. stopped in on his way to
the hospital, as he usually did, and, on
perceiving that the old gentleman could
scarcely raise his eyelids to look at him,
he took his hand and found that his
pulse was gone. After drinking little
wine and water, Dr. W. told him that
his pulse beat stronger. 'Oh, yes,
Doctor, have charming pulse. Butt
he continued, $ it is idle to talk in this
way. | am going off the stage, and it
is great blessing 60 free from sick
ness or pain or sorrow Some time
after, his daughter finding him becom-
ing extremely weak, wished him to be
put into bed, which he at first objected
to, saying that he felt no pain, and
there was no occasion for his going to
bed. Presently after, however, fearing
that he might possibly fall out of his
chair, he told them they might set him
upright in the bed, so that he could
continue to read. They did SO, and he
continued reading Cicero very quietly
for some time. Presently they looked
at him and found him dead, sitting in
the same posture, with the book under
his chin, as man who becomes drowsy
and goes to sleep. Boston Transcript.

Like towers on ancient graves.

To grace our frosty track
