THE HOLE OF DEArH.
A Grave that I8uries Almost Before il
EEilIE-An Awful End

A Grave that EurIes Almost Before it
IEilEE--An Awful End.
Ii is an awful sight to see a man
drowned, but with foresight and skill no
man need drown. Fancy a sea IN which
there is no swimming, and q sea into
which you may plunge unaware. A
man is gallOping over the green prairie,
says the San Francisco Enqleside, look
ing out from under his broad sombrerO
at the lazy cattle and the prairie dogs
playing IN the sun. Suddenly there Is a
sound like a giants throat swallowing a
a choking shout OF terror. The prairie
dogs run into their holes and a moment
later came out cautiously, curious and
frightened. The tall reed-like grass is
waving where the horse and rider were
Just now. The antelope on the crest of
the divide yOnder look around them
watchfully. But there is nothing to fear
no man in sight. Heis going to town,
that rider, with the wages Of a hard win
tens work In his pocket, riding his IA
vOrits brOnchO, dressed IN the buckskins
he has Hinged IN the winter evenings,
ready to show the foolish girls how brave
he looked in his rude attire Where is
ne nOW-he and his horse? In a grave
of Shiny, shiveEing mud-alkah paste,
blue with nameless tint Of putrid death,
has filed his thrOGt-cOvered his eyes
before he could close the lids.
What does this mean-some hideOus
freak Of nature-sOme work Of a devil
endowed with a moments POwer2 No;
only an alkah sink; only a natural well
filed with a paste as yielding water-re-
Jentive as hell. Picture to yourself the
surface setting back to its normal quiet
ude with an Undesirable guIp, a ghoul-
like smacking Of grave lips. A grave
that supplies itself with dead-a grave
that buries almost before 1t EiIis-an in
satiable, bottOmless grave, set ike a trap
for the living. The sinkhole is not al
ways covered with grass; sometimes it
has a caked and scanned crust Of blush
white alkaG on the top Of It. But even
that Is a poor safeguard, for the long
green grass will hide it from the rider
until it is too late to avoid it.
The tenacity Of this paste Of mud Is
something incredible 1 have never seen
a man caught in a sink hole, but I have
seen a man ride to the edge Of one, dis
cover II too late to turn his horse, and
shaking himself loose in the saddle, vault
over the horn Pommel, when the pony
was caught, striking the ground far be
low the sink hole. There were twenty
men there and before the horse had sunk
far there were half a dozen ropes fast to
him. Half a dozen strong ponies can
pull almost anything, but they could
not draw that horse back from the grave
that was closing over him. There is a
strange suction about this alkai mud
1t holds and it grasps with horrible
pertinacity.

aslish Farmers In canada.

New York Times.
Having come TO this country in the
spring for various private reasons, Walter
Tomlins0n has ayailed himself Of the Op-
portunity Of his visit to make O few in
quiEies in regard to the chances awaiting
able-bOdied and industrious Engiishmen
for success In Canada. Mr.. TOmlinson
is a secretary OF the London Societies Of
Charities, and has long been interested In
humane work at home. In the region
north Of Toronto he thinks there are
room and opportunity for many English
farmers. The immigrants would need to
be young enough to adapt themselves TO
new conditions Of climate and people.
They ought to be willing, also, to start
In as fam-hands. Everyone said Mr..
Tomlinson that immigrates should have
capital Yet he found on inquiry thar
those who come over Fith money almost
invariably lost it often before they could
become settled AS men coming here
must learn, he Is convinced that there
is no way so eHestive as by climbing the
ladder for themselves. Then when they
get enough TO buy a farm they VIII know
who and what to buy and how to manage
it properly. On this account he would
ADVISE newcomers against taking up gov
eminent grants or becoming landowners
soon after their arrival, and he sees no
reason why farmers should be deferred
from coming here because OF short
capital. Mr.. Tonlnson's inquiries In
the United States were not extended. He
passed through this state without seeing

Who occupied a haIlowed place in the
artists heart. But a realization Of his
fancy was not so easy. In vain he per
sonally applied at the white house to
arrange for a sitting with Mr.. Lincoln.
He could not even get to see him. But
he continued to go. One day he met
Mir. Lincoln on the street. He an
preached and introduced himself in verv
broken English. He ted how he, an
alien, had tried to fight for his country.
had been rejected, and what he desired
to do TO le-ye something as a msmento
to the strange land he loved SO well.
Though he probably did not understand
more than half what the young artist
said, the president was impressed with
his manliness and his ear-estness. He
gave him an appointment for the follow
ing day, and kept IT to the exclusion of
everything else. He sat for an hour
and told the stranger several good
stOries-nOt twenty words of which
Travis understood. A subsequent sit
ting was arranged, but twas interrupted
Just after II began, and Travis never saw
Mr.. Lincoln again. He went to New
York and sailed for home.
Now comes the really curious part of
the story.
Gen. Webster, a relative of Benjamin
+. Butler, was one Of President Grants
foreign appointments He was made
consul general at Frankfort. In the
spring Of 1866 a tail, fulI-bearded man
entered the consulate, introduced him
self and said that he had painted a Dor
trait OF President Lincoln, and asked
that he might bring it there for nspec-
ton and criticism by Americans Gen
eral Webster, surprising that it was a
small portrait, gave the permission In a
spirit Of triendliness to the people among
whom he was residing. Imagine bis
surprise, then, as a heavy truck backed
up before the door an, deposited this
gigantic piece Of canvas. 1t required a
dozen pOrters to place it on the walls OF
the consulate. As those know who have
seen the picture at the Riggs, the canvas
is fully ten feet high by SIX feet broad.
The frame is nearly one foot In width.
The picture attracted much attention.
Consul General Webster purchased it.
Ten years later 1t was sent to the Cen
tennial exhibition at PHILADELPHIA. At
the close OF that show the pictures re-
naming unclaimed were stored in the
vaults Of the academy OF Fine Arts in
that city. There it narrowly escaped
destruction by Ere.
About this time two grown children Of
Mr.. Webster died; his wife soon followed
and he passed to the grave IN 1877.
The existence Of the picture was totally
forgotten by his only immediate heir,
Mr.. Bentice Webster, of Lowell, Mass.
1t slum 5ered in the darkness of the eel
lar in Philadelphia until the winter Of
1882, when it was rediscovered. A friend
of the Webster family brought it to the
attention Of the only surviving heir. He
placed it in the custody Of that friend
who brought it to Washington last year,
and by Mr.. Spohord's courtesy, found It
a place at the Riggs house. Surely a
curious story; but true.

OLD JONES IS DEAD.
by LOUISE CHANDLER ,ioULros.

1 sat In my window, high overhead,
And heard them say, below in the street:
Il suppose you know that OLD Jones is deadI'
Then the speakers passsd, and heard their
net
Heedlesaly walking their onward way.
'Dead!' what more could there be 70 sayl
But sat aud pondered what it might mean
Tins % be q al while th7 world went bys
Did Jones sss further than We have ssrnE
Was he one with the stars IN the watching skyr
OF down there under the growing grass
DID he hear the feet Of day Light pas5g
We're daytime and nighttime one to him now,
And growing and hoping tale that Is uOLdr
4 kiss on his lips, or hand on his brow,
As be surely had 1elt them his whole life long,
Though they passed with his youth time hot and
sJrOngr
They called him odd Jones" when at last he
died;
Yet his faithful memory time deded.
And dWelt in the days so distant and dear
When hr5t he found that love was sweet
And rocked not the speed Of its hurryiug feet.
Does he brood in the long night under the sod
On the JOYS and EorroEa lie used 10 know;
Or Ear in some wonderful yorla Of God.
Where the shining eeFaphs stand, row On row,
Does he wake like q cAlld At the Daylight
And know that tie past was a nights shOr;
dreaHi2
Is be dead, andla clod there down below;
Or dead aud wiser Lhan any alive;
which, Ahl who II us all may know,
Or who cgln say Low the dead folk thrive?
But me ~ llLi4 or 4notIl1ng is cool and sweet
and ] hear the ave folks laugh in the street,
