very weak condition, and again took her on

Richard the Thirds Bed.

In the corporation records Of Leices-
ter there is still preserved story curl
ously illustrative Of the darkness and pre-
caution of Richards character. Among
his camp baggage it is his custom to car
~ a cumbersome wooden bedstead, which
he averred was the only couch he could
sleep in, but in which he contrived to
have a secret receptacle for treasure, SO
that it was concealed under weight
of timber. After Bosworth field the
troops Of Henry pillaged Leicester, but
the royal bed was neglected by every
plunderer as useless lumber. The owner
of the house afterward discovering the
hoard became suddenly rich without any
visible cause. he bought land, and at
length he became mayor Of Leicester.
Many years afterwards, his widow.
who had been left in great af1uence. was

culprit and her accomplices the whole
transaction came to light. Concerning

LOVES DAWN AND DEATH.

A year ago for you, dear, and for me,
Love was newborn bright and fairy thing;
1t turned all earth to heaven, all grief to gee,
We sighed for JOY and sang for sorroWlng
In that sweet Spring.
How could we guess that Love would eer
grow cold
Who saw it's infant hours 60 by?
How could we know its kisses would grow
VINO kissed so oft /? and how could you and I
Dream Love could die?
And vet for us Love lives no more to-day,
Though how it did not you nor can tell;
We only know it's charm has passed away,
That we can ne'er rebinda broken spell,
And SO farewell!
The world is joyous in the golden June, :,
The lark sings sweetly and the rose is red,
Yet earth seems sad, the birds song out OF
And all the scent Of summer flowers fed,
Now Love is dead. 10
Still hearts meet heart and lips to lips are
pressed,
Still earth is fair and skies are bright and
blue; .,.. u
Perchance it may be in some happier breast,
Some soul that to another soul Is true,
. Love lives anew.

of DR.. Mott, of Union Col.
.........--..... EnpQ. -.F

On an evening preceding Tbanksgiv-
ing, many years ago, two. students left
the college, with the most fowl intent o
procuring some of the doctors fine fat
chickens, that roasted in tree adjoining
the house. When they arrived at the
spot one assembled the tree, while the 9th
er stood with the bag ready to receive
the plumber. It so happened that the
doctor himself had just left his house,
with the view of securing the Esa,ne
chickens for his Thanksgiving dinner.
The rogue under the tree hearing some
one approaching, Immediately crept away
without notifying his companion among
the branches. The doctor came up 81.
lently, and was immediately saluted from
above IS follows: "Are you ready2""Y y
responded the doctor, assembling his
voice as much as possible. The other
Immediately laying hands on the old
rooster, exclaimed, "Here's old Prex-
will you have himg'' s'Pass him along.'
was the reply, and he was soon in the
doctors bag. "Here's Marin Prex, said
the all unconscious student, grabbing a
fine old hen; will you have herr" eyes,"
again responded the doctor. "Here's
son John-will you have him2'' Here's
daughter Sal-take her?'' and so on I'M
til he had gone regularly through the
doctors famsly and chickens
The old man then walked off in one
direction with the plumber, while the
student, well satisfied with his nights
work, came down and streaked it for the
college. Great was his establishment to
learn from his companion that he had
not got any chickens, and If he gave
them to any one it must have been to
DR.. Mott. Expulsions, fines and disgrace
were uppermost in their thoughts until
the next forenoon, when both received a
polite invitation from the President, re-
questing the presence Of their company
to a Thanksgiving dinner. To decline
was impossible, SO with hearts full of
anxiety for the result they wended their
way to the house, where they were pleas
antly received by the old gentleman, and
with large party, were soon seated
around the festive board. After asking
blessing, Che doctor rose from his seat,
and taking the carving-knife, turned
with smile to the rogues and said,
''Young gentlemen, here's Old Piez and
Marin Prex, son John and daughter Sal,''
at the same time touching successfully
the respective chickens-s'to which will
you be helped?'' The modification of
his students may be imagined.

face. Satisfied that was in deep slun-
Der, the figure, still with cat-likc tread,
glided through the bedroom and into the
ticket Office. My eyes were wide open
again by this time. The light from the
dark lantern had increased, but its rays
were now turned toward the safe. OBJ,
viously the robber believed the treasure
he sought was there. I waited until he
knelt down to examine the lock, and
then, with steps as noiseless as his OWE,
I slipped from the bed and toward the
half-opened door. So intent was he in
examining the safe that il was not until
I was within reach of him that he heard
me.
he sprang to his feet, bringing the
glass OF the lantern full IN my face, and
reached for his revolver which he had
laid upon the top Of the safe. But he
was too late. With the old rusty pistol,
held by its long barrel, I dealt him
crushing blow on the top of the head
just as his fingers grasped his own YEA D.
on. He fell heavily without utterine a
groan. The lantern was extinguished as
it fell, and with trembling fingers I
struck match and lighted the lamp in
the Office. AS its rays fell on the up
turned face Of the robber, I saw that the
blood was flowing from the wound I had
inflicted, and T saw, too, that his face
was delicate in its outlines and inteli-
/ gent in its expression. I had time to no.
tice no more, for felt, now that the
danger was past, the need Of aid. So,
after binding the unconscious mans feet
and arms, and bathing his head IN cold
water, pulled on my boots and overcoat
and started in hot haste for the hotel.
Hallway OF the road met a covered
carriage drawn by one horse. took it
to be the turnout Of Matthews, the hotel
proprietor, and wondering what he could
be out TOR at that hour, shouted his
name. I got no response. Then I cried
out at the top Of my voice: ~@aa .s.. :
s'I've killed burglar down at the sta
honp' Whoever was in the carriage must
have heard me, but the horse only quick
ened his sharp trot, and disappeared in
the darkness. ~ - .-,.... -. as... ! /
They gave me good deal more credit,
the people OF Red Ravine, for that nights
adventure, than I deserved. And I do
not blame them for laughing at how
things came out. For when party of
us got back to the station my unconscious
burglar had disappeared, and the tracks
next morning showed that the covered
carriage which 1 had met on the road
had drawn up at the platform. Who was
in it? Well, couldn't swear, but I have
a notion that it contained the gentleman
who had come on with the body. At
all events, neither he nor the body was
ever seen in the town again. I had the
satisfaction of delivering the money pack
age. safely to Eldridge s. Rickeston, but
the check they gave me was not really
merited., For what would have happen
ed had it not been for the mysterious
message which no man sent?-Washinq-
ton Post. 5...'.

by what appeared to him Diudcous acts of the late
Agent, who, although gentleman of high charac-
ter and unimpeachable integrity, was not person
suited to Indian management.
1t appears that General Fisk held long conversation
with Ouray yesterday. He said that neither Ouray
nor his people will consent to remove from Colo
RADIO, and that he looks upon the Government demand
that he shall surrender the murderers of Meeker and
his employees as an absurdity. Ouray thinks that
it will be good plan for the Government to redeem
its pledges to the Utes before they enter into any
further negotiations.
General Fisk was asked what. in his opinion.
should be done with the Utes. lie replied that they
onght to be settled on agricultural land
in Colorado to be given title IN fee sim
pie to those lands, and to be regarded
and treated as cizers of Colorado as soon as they
were ready for citizenship. He did not believe, he
said, in any more removals of Indians from the
States or Territories where they have fixed their
homes.
Commissioner Hayt, who was present with his
counsel followed General Fisk, and defended tine
Indian Office against the charges of neglect brought
against it lie took charge. 1t is said he sought
to throw the responsibility for whatever
neglect there has been in dealing with the Utcs
upon the former Commissioner, Mir. j. G. Smith.
Commissioner Hayt had not finished his testimony
when the Committee adjourned.
1t is understood that among the witnesses to be
called are SIr. and Mrs. Danforth the late agent
and teacher at the White River Agency.
Chief Ouray and his companions continue
inaccessible to all except those in the
confidence of the Interior Department.
1t is understood that General Fisk gained
admittance TO Ourav, by virtue of his posi-;
tion as member of the Board of Indian Commits
sioncrs.
Secretary SchuTz regrets exceedingly that Sena-
tor Teller should have questioned Ouray with re-
gard to the Ute grievances. The Secretary was
fearful at the time if access was had to the
Indians some one would put it into their heads
that they bad grievances and this might Interfere
seriously with the progress OF negotiations for the
renquishment of lands he'd by tue Utes III Col
oradO. The Secretary desires 60 keen the minds
of the Ues impressed only with the fact that crimes
have been committed for which they are brought 10
Washington TO make amends III some manner. II IS
hardly necessary TO add that Senator Teller has
opinions IN regard to these matters differing in
some essential particulars from those of Secretary
SchuH
Two members Of the committee appointed bg the
Board of Indian Commissioners 10 investigate
the accusations against Commissioner Hayt,
are husily engaged in the prosecution
of their work. The third member OF the committee,
Chairman BaTstow, continues to remain absent.
He has met with the committee only once and then
only for a short time.
