under the captaincy of John Scheying, SER
geant of Co. D., has become quite proficient
in drill and executes difficult movements
with grace and precision. They have not
drilled together more than four evenings,

Senator Douglas. Lifelike Remains.

at is not generally known" said
Stephen A. Douglas, THAT the remains
Of my father, reposipg there in that
vault at the base of the Douglas monu-
ment, are as well preserved today as ever.
He died in 1861, just a month before the
first battle Of Bull Run. His body was
embalmed at that time, put in an air
tight cssket, which was again inclosed in
an iron coffin. When the monument was
erected in his honor in 1866 the iron case
on top of the glass cover over his face
was removed and his features were as
lifelike and unchanged as ever. In 1880,
nineteen years after his death, the air
tight casket was inclosed in zinc coffin,
which in turn was put into a marble
sarcophagus, in which it still rests. On
that occasion again the face was exposed
to view. 1t had not changed particle.
There was not the slightest indication of
decay, and a physician residing in the
neighborhood of the monument tells me
that the body, If not unduly disturbed,
will remain as it is for many, many years
to come Chicago Herald.

Cushing, says The American Natural
list, ''is of the opinion that they used
RATS made Of reeds for navigating these
canals, and this seems more probable
from the heavy materials that have been
brought from distance. 1t seems GER
tain that they floated the pine timber
used in their building operations down
the Salt and Gila rivers from the distant
mountains"
These people burned their dead as a
general rule, collecting the ashes into an
urn, which was commonly broken, in
sign of death; but the expedition found
SO many skeletons buried within the
larger buildings mentioned, Just beneath
the floor, that it appears to have been
the custom to bury chiefs and priests.
A food vessel and highly decorated water
jar were buried with the corpse, and
sometimes arrow and spear heads. In
one grave large stone knife and tur-
quois ornaments were found. Tools and
weapons are generally of stone, and there
are q few copper ornaments, shell carv-
ings, inlaid with turquois, and other
decorations common TO semi-savage
tribes. The pottery is of many colors
and carries a fine glaze. They had
smelling furnaces in the mountains, and
appear to have stood upon much tie

ing along the bottom Of an enormous
cleft in the earth, down which MAJ.
Powell made his venturesome trip years
ago, should spread its fertilizing waters
over portions Of the Yuma and Mohaye
deserts instead of losing them in the salt
waves Of the Gulf. The climate is ad-
verse to irrigation in some respects, be-
cause the more you separate the streams
and rills the more you expose the water
body to surface evaporation. In lands
like Arizona and New Mexico the Persian
system Of underground streams, broken
at intervals by wells, ought to be
tried. A system of covered canals
would be the best In a climate like
that of New Mexico, for the eyapora-
ton upward would be at q minimum.
Whether this country will ever be re-
claimed to do the work il can under a
thorough system Of irrigation is a ques-
ton. Perhaps it were best left to indi-
vidual or municipal, to corporate or
state enterprise. National schemes of
the kind are too prolific Of jobbery and
corruption. Ii Is a matter, however,
that will repay the study of those having
large amounts to invest for slow but sure
returns, dependent for success on the
financial prudence and sound engineer
ing which have caused Holland to be-
come the richest country of its size in the
world.-New York NiAes.

The "Little Lamb,sn Mary.

Mrs. Mary E. Tyler, the original Mary
whose little lamb had followed her to
school one day, is still living at Somer-
vile, Mass, vigorous old lady OF 50
years. To reporter OF The Boston
Globe she recently gave the true version
Of the world famous verses. The lamb
was raised by her from the day Of its
birth, its mother having deserted it. IL
followed Mary everywhere she went, and
died in her arms, having been gored by
a COW while following Mary about the
barn. The three original verses were
written by one John Roulstone, young
man of the neighborhood, then fitting
for college, but two more verses were
added afterward by a Mrs. Townsend.
From the fleece of her lamb Mary knit
two pairs of stockings. These were
raveled out, and sold in small bits tied to
a card with Mary's autograph written
on il, and sold for the fund collected to
save the Old South church, Boston.
Two hundred dollars were raised in this
way Harper's Bnzar.

Possibilities OF Irrigation In the SOUTH
vest-DnpnInp the Ancient Canals.

Possibilities OF Irrigation In the South
west-opening the Ancient Canals.
Though il has long been known that
the tribes Of aborigines who once existed
in the states and territories of the south
west had a system of agriculture which
permitted them to subsist in towns Of
considerable size, we have not realized
until recently the extent Of their re-
sources and the ability they displayed as
engineers. The Hemenway expedition
has examined ancient lines a. canals in
southwestern Arizona in the valley Of
the Gila and its chief tributary the
Saloda, rivers which pour their waters
finally into the Gulf of California, like
their northerly neighbor. the Colorado.
Between the Salado and the ella, where
there is now only growth of such
plants as endure q torrid climate,
without rain for the greater part Of
the year, the ancient people had their
towns and cities. Some Of the communal
houses were several hundred feet square
and three or four stories high. One city
was traced for three or four miles, and
contained between forty and fifty OF
these large structures, which were iTeg-
ularly placed after the fashion of Indian
towns. Each large house is supposed by
Mr.. Gushing, the ethnologist Of the party,
who has made the Pueblo Indians a life
long study, TO have held the members OF
one clan. The walls were sometimes OF
adobe bricks, and sometimes they were
strengthened wlh posts and wathesD
Each town haga separate larger ruin
surrounded by a strong wall 80 ns to
form yard. Here Mr.. Cushing locates
the abode of the chief ruler or priest the
stores of the town and the citadel in cass
Of an attack. Il is estimated that the
two valleys Of the ella and Salado sup
ported at one period no less than 100000
souls.
This could only have been accom-
plished 10y irrigation. II appears that
the water from the Salado was run
across the flat land between il and the
Gila for distance OF from fifteen Il
twenty miles. The new settlers have
already begun 10 use the bitches con-
triyed by The extinct population. Tho

marched TO the opera houss where
the proceedings were held. This
edifice, for the first time in auy demo.
cratic meeting in this campaign i'm
Montana, had an American flag dis
played in ii. When the crowd SAW
this they cheered. Col. Sullivan sug-
gtstively remarked when he got Oh
the stage: "You people must mean
something here this fall" A lead
miner from the new camp on the
edge Of the county replied, "Yes you
can just bet we do" This brought
down the house. On the stage, besides
Mr.. Clark. Were Maj. Maginnis, Jim
Sullivan. VIM. Bickford, w. J. Steph.
ems, Major, Mccormick and several
others. Mr.. Stephens introduced Mr..
Clark who was received with a great
deal OF coolness, although there was Of
course some enthusiasm. He opened
by giving the city aud county of
Missoula good deal of tsffy, and
then waded into national topics
among which he houndered for about
half an hour to the great edlfication of
the people assembled. The speech was
a mere repetition ofthe plsti tudes of
his sbeech Of acceptance at Butte, and
might have been cut bodily from the
files of the Miner, 10 far as any differ
ence In its meaning was concerned.
He did not speak word in support OF
territorial Ell eLterprises, such as silver
mining, wool growing, etc., further
than TO claim for his platform that il
was in favor of everything pertaining
to territorial advancement which no
body in the audience seemed to stand
in with. Judging from, the calmness
of their conduct, the general verdict il
that Mr.. Clark is not up to the require
ments Of the Montana Of this day.

INDIANAPOLIS. Sept. 29.-The fret
Of the several visiting delegations to

There were several young ladies In the
delegation. The delegation from Chi

CARNATIONS represented were: The
First Veterans club Of 1910, fifty mem.
bers; John A. Logan club; Twelfth
Ward republican club; italian republi-
can club and the Second regiment
band. As General Harrison was pro-
ceeding after the speechmaking and
reached the corner of University Park
on Vermont street he unexpectedly
encountered his third and last delegs-
tion.
Thirty little girls, arrayed In hand
some uniforms Of red, white and blue,
were drawn up In military line on the
sidewalk. As the General approached
little Annie L. Dynes. their captain,
addressing him, said: General Har-

Gen. Harrison told them that non'
of the calls OF the larger delegation

A Chinese opium, story.


Since the introduction of opium into Chi-
ma millions and tens of millions have given
themselves up to its use, its victims being
found in all the ranks and conditions of
life, among the old, the middlesaged, the
young and even children. But case of
an infant becoming victim to its PERM
cious influence has just come to our knoWl-
edge. A man and his wife had been in
the habit of taking opium for years, and
one of their chief delights was in indul-
ging themselves over the pipe in each 9TH
er's company, each taking alternate whiffs.
One day the woman gave birth to a boy
and all the household was in an ecstatic
state of joyfulness. But before long the
baby began to show signs of illness, and
although a physician was sent for they
could not discover the cause of it's symp-
| toms. Every effort was made to save the
I child, but he only grew worse and worse I'M
| til his parents gave him up for lost. In de-
spair they took their pipe to solaee them
selves, and behold as they pulled at the
pipe the smoke was waited to the child's
nostrils, and giving a sneeze, he instantly Ie-
vived and began to cry. Upon inhaling more
of the smoke he changed his crying into
l laughing and became exceedingly lively. At
| ter that he was all right as long as he inhaled
| the smoke at regular periods of the day.
| One day, however, his parents neglected to
give him the accustomed dose OF smoke, and
| before they were aware he died.

Living In Hartford Together For -Four
Years without Knowing It.

Living I'm Hartford Together For -Four
Years without knowing Tt.
A peculiar and interesting event has just
come to light in this city. Emil Witte, re-
spected and welI-thought-of German painter,
who lives on the first floor at No. 90 Mulber-
nv street, came to Hartford seventeen years
ago next November, having lived in Newark
nine months Immediately after his arrival
from Solingen, his former home in the Rhine
district of Germany. Mr.. Witte left behind
him on his departure for America his sister,
then Mrs. Bick. For a number Of years
| letters were received regularly, but for the
last eight or ten years no correspondence was
| had. Mr.. Witte could not understand why
| the letters had stopped and had almost re-
signed himself to the belief that his sister
was dead.
| Last Saturday at noon Mr. Witte, while
/ walking through Pearl street, saw German
l lady whom he thought had features similar
| to those of his mother, and SO impressed was
| he that she was his sister that he followed
/ the lady at respectful distance and saw her
| enter her home on Kilbourne street. He i'm
1 mediately went home and told his wife that
| he had seen on the street lady whom he be-
| lieved to be his sister, and had seen her enter
| a house on Kilbourne street; that he wanted
4
| who the woman was. Mrs. WHITE said she
| did not believe it could be her husbands
sister, but she made the inquiry as re-
| quested and learned that the woman
was none other than the former Mrs. Bick,
| but now Mrs. William Lehman, whose
husband ia a tailor. Her first husband died
| in Germany, but she married again and In
1880 moved to Philadelphia. She lived there
for four years and then came to Hartford.
Mr.. Lehman had known for some time that
Mr.. White came from the same town in Ger
many from which he himself came, but had
never availed himself of an opportunity to
speak to him: consequently the matter had
run along until the discovery was made by
Mr. White on Saturday of last week.
Sunday was spent by the two families in a
reunion sort of way. Old times and scenes
in the Faderland were gone over and friend
ly glass was offered to those who called to
extend their congratulations.-Har
