Baltimore Sun: In a church in this
city anoted tenor singer was rendering
a solo in Warren's ste Deum,o and,
installing the instructions Of the or
ganist as to the use of the stops for
the sacred words, sang outat the top
of his voice, "Pedal, great gambia
and swell " to the astonishment of
the congregation. He could not ac.
count for the uncomfortable and con.
yulsiVe though suppressed laughter
OF the choir, and was not aware Of
his mistake until it was explained to
him, when he was overcome with NOR
LITIGATION. Another instance. more
intensely amusing, was that of a
Well-knoWn baritone singer in the
same church on another occasion,
who inadvertently placed the slur on
the wrong note. He had adapted
the air of ssThe Jewish Maiden to a
hymn beginning, "Before the Lord
we bow and instead of placing the
slur on the first two .syllables he
placed it on the last one and render
ed it thus: Before the Lord we bow
WoW-wow." The effect was immense.
AS he had and still has a powerful
and beautiful voice, his hearers were
thoroughly electrified at this unwon-
ted and unlo oked-for canine imita-
ton. he has never entirely recov-
erred from the effect of his ludicrous
mistake.

the Duke of Marlborough and his

More than that, / have it from a
positively trustworthy source that
on the evening of the wedding after

The idea is that the bride must not

The Fans History in Brief.
Kan 81 was the first Iady VIII

Kan 81 was the nrst lady who car
ried al, She lived in ages which
are pay and for the most part for
gotts . ,sand she was the daughter of
a Chinese mandarin. Whoever saw
a mandarin, even on a tea chest, with
out his fan? In China and Japan to
this day every one has a fan; and
there are fans ofan sorts for every
body. The Japanese waves his fan
at you when he meets you by way
OF greeting, and the beggar who
solicits for aims has the exceedingly
small coin made on purpose for
charity presented to him on the tip
OF the fan. In ancient times, among
Greeks and Romans, fans seem to
have been enormous; they we're
generally made of feathers, and car
ried by slaves over the heads Of
their masters and mistresses, to pro-
tect them from the sun, or wave
about before them to stir the air,
Catherine de Medici carried the first
folding fan ever seen in France, and
in the time Of Louis XIV the fan was
a gorgeous thing, often covered with
jewels, and worth a small fortune.
In England they were the fashion in
the time of Henry VIII. A fan set in
diamonds was once given to Queen
Elizabeth upon New Years day.
The Mexican feather fans which
Cortez had from Montezuma were
marvels of beauty; and in Spain a
large black fan is the favorite. 1t is
said that the use of a fan is as care
fully taught in that country as any
other branch of education, and
that by well know code of signal a
Spanish lady can carry on long CON
versation with anyone, especially an
admirer. The Japanese criminal Of
rank is politely executed by means of
a fan. On being sentenced to death
he is presented with fan, which he
must receive with a low bow, and, as
he bows, presto! the executioneer
draws his sword and cuts his head
off. In fact, there is a fan for every
occasion in Japan

A Tough Parrot Story,

A well-known New Yorker, whose
pen and pencil have alike brought
him money and reputation, has had
an adventure which discounts by
about ten thousand nine hundred
and ninety mine the average conven-
tional parrot story. He was fond of
knocking about in out-of-the-way
quarters of the world, and left ship.

party of comrades to explore the.
wilderness During cruise of sever
al months the entire ships company
had devoted their odd hours to sing

the bird all the sea-faring lingo, and
a few more or less elegant expletives
besides When the artist and his ex-

forest. After tWenty-eight miles of

mad, wild chase after the goose that
had laid the golden egg for Hulburt in
the first instance. Sufficient is it to
say that they never found the bird.
Hulburt proved II bad pilot, and after
leading his party everywhere without
success till winter came on, he finally
and reluctantly confessed that he was
lost, and his famous cabin mine along
with him. This man, whose word had
been aW in the camp for so many days,
was now an outcast' mt in danger of
death by violence. Men and women
sprang at him like tigers, crying,
Lynch him; he has lied to us; lynch
him!n
Preparations were made for an i'm
promptu necktie party, and Hulburt
was just about to be strung up when one
individual in that crazy mob who had a
spark of humanity left in him stepped
over to the doomed mans side and drew
his revolver. That was enough. Sullen
with rage, but cowed by n mans
bravery, the lynching bee was post
poned, and poor, wretched Hurlburt's
life spared. Hulburt was last seen in
Virginia City in 1854, since when the
world has lost track of him. Hundreds

mine really exists. Many old miners
lost their lives in searching for it, ana
twice it was believed to have been re-
discovered. Assays proved, however,
that IL was copper, not gold, that had
been found.
About this time the Sitting Bull
troubles came on and the country where
Lost Cabin lead was supposed TO be hid
den away became alive with hostile In
dams. Old Tonka-te-tonke Sitting
Bull), with over a thousand lodges, had
his camp near the junction OF the two
Horn rivers, on the spot where General
Custer afterward found him and met his
death. Notwithstanding the frightful
dangers and almost certain death await
ing any white man who should-have the
hardihood to pentrate into the country,

pausing to look around or vel to take

His route did not lay back over the
old trail he and his two friends had come
the year before. the Indians had gone
that way, but to the south, in the oppo-
site direction, through a strange, wild,
undiscovered country, so to speak, over
which no white mans foot had ever
travelled before. After many days, when
far away from the old camp, he arrived
at n lofty precipice, where to the east
could be seen a vast stretch of open
prairie, while to the west was a lofty
range OF mountains, whose snow-capped
peaks pierced the clouds.
Hoping to strike the trail if he trusted
to the open, Hulburt struck boldly out
over the prairie and headed, ms near as
he could judge, for the Platte crossing
OF the great traBscontinental route TO
California. After eighteen days he did
reach the North Platte river. ninety
miles above Fort Laramie, at Reshaw's
bridge, and found himself on the old
trail which he had passed over fifteen
years before on his way To California.
Here he met the first white people he
had seen for nearly i've years, except, of
course, his slain comrades. the c0un-
try was then on fire over the news
from Alder Gulch. Rich diggings had
been reported at Grasshopper creek,
and Alder, in Montana, and the tread of
h gold hunters was now to the north
west instead of toward the setting sun,
as was the case in 1919. Hulburt met a
big stampede coming to the North
Platte bound for Montana. Without
going back to the state or sending any
word to his friends he joined this party
OF FL Dorado hunters, and was soon en-
route to the country he had so a~nXiously
been fleeing from during the previous
thirty days. Going along he told the
story of his own wonderful experiences
TO them, which resulted in a split in the
crowd, those with him heading a new
stampede, in which he came near get
ting killed for his pains. To show the
size OF this division it is only necessary
TO state that Hulburt had no less than
lao wagons at his heels, with something

seven feet below, and here was found
gold from the grass roots down, panning
all h way from 5 cents to 81 each trial.
These frantic men made up their minds
to stay all winter. They had plenty of
powder and lead, the country was full
of game, and so, without further delay,
the little pioneer party began work in
dead earnest for a long winters stay.
They whip-sawed lumber, built a dam
across the creek, put upsluice-boxes and
slulced from morning till night
while the weather lasted. The average
yield was about 800 a day to the man
until now began to fly. When the
water froze, and mining operations had
to be suspended, Cox, Jones and Hull
burt had about hall Il bushel each of the
bright, sparkling nuggets and gold dust.
Now came winter. The time was too
valuable while the season lasted to
waste it in building operations; but now
it vas getting late, and the boys indus
t~riously w~hipsawed lumber and cut
logs sufficient to erect a cabin and sur
round it with q stockade. This was the
famous cabin that has since been lost so
mans times. Hay was cut, too, for the
five horses. One had been drowned In
crossing the Yellowstone. In the spring,
when the water had began to run again,
the Jnree men were uJ bnelf SlulCe- boxes
and taking out just as much gold as ever.
One day Hurlburt suddenly retained to
the cabin for some e essary article,
leaving his two comrades busy at work.
Scarcely had he gotten out of sight
when bang! bang! went a number of
rifles and Cox and Jones lay weltering
in their blood. From a tree Hurlbut
saw the Indians strip, scalp and mutt
late his comrades, after which the red
SKINS followed the well-Deaten trail up
to the cabin and rified the latter of
every single article or thing they
wanted. They eyen attempted to set
fire TO the famous structure; but the logs
were green and would not burn, thus
sparing the celebrated building TO
future discovery. After a while the
Indians left. Hurlburt slipped quickly
from his perch, gathered together a few
necessary articles the Indians had car
ried off their horsesl, packed his KNAPP
sack full Of gold (burying such treasure

ing until their tools wore out, the brave
fellows built Il boat with which 10 de-

The plan was then to return with suf-

Had they known that the camp which
they intended to steal past at midnight
was the largest eve gathered together
on tho American continent, stretching
up and down the river for more than
three hundred miles, and containing
between five and six thousand war

gone the other way and gotten out of

STORY OF A GOLD NINE
Adventures Of Men Who Searched
In the Lost Cabin" Lead.
THE GROW INDIANS WORK.
They Send White Prospectors to 1.-THE
Happy Hunting Ground
The Lead Never Re-
discovered.

Perhaps the most famous, as we'll as
the most mysterious, mine on he con-
tinent is the celebrated Lost Cabin
Lead, says a Fort Keogh, Mont, letter
to the st. Louis Globe-Democrat. 1t
has been discovered, rediscovered, and
lost half n dozen times, and at the pres
ent writing the exact location OF this
rich lode is as much a mystery as ever.
This mine is one OF the magnets that
drew Thomas Paige Comstock (Old Pan
calie) north from his Nebraska bonanzas;
but he never found the lead, and he
came but to find a suicides death. The
Lost Cabin has grown to be somewhat
of a legend, although there can be no
doubt that rich veins of gold are scat
tered all through the Big Horn
range, and among these noun
tains this much-sought mine is
snugly hidden away and will
probably remain so until Ome lucky
~prospector tumbles upon it and so be-
comes a thrice millionaire in a twink
ling. That there is gold IN the Big
Horn mountains cannot be questioned.
Colors have been found all along the
Big and Little Horn and other rivers,
and at the mouths of tho Big Horn and
Rosebud a little industrious banning on
