Hero of the Rockies.
[Cor. PhIladelphia Press.l

Long before Horace Greeley had made
him famous Hank Monk was hero among
the heroes OF the Pacific coast. He was,
perhaps, the first man to use the short
double. .barreled shotgun, which Wells.
Fargo's messengers made famous In their
bloody battles with stage robbers. The
facts are Hank Monk was such a reckless
driver, that while every one was. proud Of
the honor Of having once crossed the Sier.
ras with him, no treasure messenger was
willing to make regular thing OF it. For
1t was universally conceded that IL was

II was the ingenuity Of Monk that intro
duced the short double barreled shot gun.
But he did not carry II under his cloak
with cock lifted and finger on trigger.
Nothing Of that sort; his hands we're too
full of the ten or dozen reins for that
He simply had the gun pointed down on
the side Of his leg, with the muzzle just
peeplng through the sole Of his heavy
boots. And no one was permitted to know
Of the presence Of this arm at all. It was
known that he carried his bowie knife
down the back Of his neck so as to be In
easy reach when he pushed back his broad
hat TO get good look at his enemy; but

A very dirty fireman, ,iwearing greasy

corner of Charlton and West streets last
evening. He belonged to an ocean steamer.
The bartender served him with drink,
and he then produced from under his
jacket little Yorkshire terrier whose
silken coat fairly swept the ground.
"Stow this 'ere dorg someweres," said
the fireman. "Ther's party as will come

the bar. Half an hour later West side

found that worthy sitting on q coal bunker

MIR. wHTrLEsrFF TAKES HIS JOURNEY.
Mr.. Whittlestaf did at last get into
;he train and have himself carried up
TO London. And he ate his sandwiches
and drank his sherry with an air Of
supreme satisfaction --as though ho had
carried his point. And so he had. He
had made up his mind on q certain
matter; and, with the object Of doing a
tertain piece Of work, he had escaped
rom the two dominant women Of his
household, who had done their best to
intercept him. So for his triumph was
complete. But, as he sat silent in the
corner Of the carriage, his mind revert
ed TO the purpose OF his journey, and
he can not be said TO have been tri-
hmphant. All Arlesford would know
II, and would sympathize with John
Gordon. And as II came TO be known
That be himself had given up the girl
whom he loved, he could read the ridi-
,ule which would bo conveyed by the
smiles of his neighbors.
To tell the truth OF Mr.. Whittlestaff,
he was a man very open to such shafts
Of ridicule. The "ro6m q Gs triple1"
which fortified his heart went only TO
the doing off good and unselish action,
and did not extend to providing him
with that adamantine shield which vir-
tue should Of itself supply. He was as
perviQus TO these stngs as o man might
be who had not the strength TO act in
opposition TO them. He could screw

When Women Ruled.

The sixteenth and seventeenth an.
nual reports of the trustees of the Pea
body Museum of American Archaeology
and Ethnology make noticeable vol
ume. The most entertaining article is
that by Lucien Carr on the social and
political position of women in early
times among the Indian tribes east of
the Mississippi and south of the St.
Lawrence and the great lakes. Among
other things Mrs. Carr says:
In matters of war the man was theo-
retically free to do as he pleased, but
practically he was not SO, for the ma
tron of his household might forbid his
departure, and she could order him to
go out on the warpath, even when he
dreferred peace. In her hands was the
fate of prisoners; she could adopt them
into the family or order them to be
burned, and in the latter case no one
could save them. When chief died
the matron of his household appointed
his successor, and women could depose
a chief whom they disliked.
1t was woman who transmitted nobil-
ity of blood, and Inheritance, and who
perpetuated the family. They possess
ed all authority, were the owners of
land, the soul of the councils, the ar
biters of peace and war. They had the
care of the treasury and of all social
and family matters. Men were only the
representatives of women, to act for her
in those affairs in which it was not be-
coming for her to act for herself. These
tribes, in which women held all the
power and influence which the women's
rights party asks tor women to-day,
were only partially civilized-they were
in the state that Morgan calls the mid
die stages of barbarism.

There is no worldly gain without some
loss, 80 there is no loss without some
gain. If thou hast lost thy wealth,
thou has lost some trouble with it; if
thou art degraded from thy honor, thou
art likewise freed from the stroke of
envy; if sick hath blurred thy beauty !;
it hath delivered thee from pride. Set
the allowance against the loss, and
thou shalt find no loss great; he loses
little or nothing that reserves himself.
