A Night Chase.

Grand Juror Farrell of Hamden had a lively chase after horse thief early yes- terday morning. He found horse and wagon on the road and was about to take charge of it when young man came out from under neighboring hay- stack. While the grand juror was ex- amining the animal the stranger sudden ly turned on his heels and skipped. He ran like deer toward the city with the official after him. The night favored the fugitive and he escaped.

fioient for hard working or grown people
who require more solid food.
Buttermilk is wholesome, particularly
IN warm weather, on account of the lac

Bread and milk make a suitable diet

wants. The healthy, fun loving boys
who hunt, play ball, and skate, will re-

relish delicate nourishing diet. When
the weather is cold, carbon in the shape

LEFT HER HUSBAND.

Gambler McDouald's Wife. of Chicago, Miss
ing For Week
CHICAGO, Aug. 20-The wife of mil
lionaire M Ike" Mcdonald, the noted ex-
gambler and politician, is missing. The
circumstances are most extraordinary.
Mrs. Mcdonald disappeared from he1
home at the corner of Ashland boulevs I'd
and Harrison streets a week ago last
Friday, and though a small army of de-
her whereabouts they have succeeded only
IN obtaining her diamonds pawned
and sold somewhere in the east. It is
supposed Mrs. Mcdonald is now in
Europe. 1t was being reported this
evening that she had a companion, g
Catholic priest, who il was alleged had
been unf1ocked by the church. The
priest is supposed 10 have had parish
at some time at South Chicago, or some
surburb in that locality. The story is
Mrs. Mcdonald became acquainted with
the unfrocked priest and he became
infatuated with her, the admiration
was reciprocated, and an elopement
planned and executed. On the moment
uous Friday ev ming, Hugh Mullaney
McDonald's coachmsn, took Mrs. Nc.
Donald from the house in carriage. He
said nothing about the matter for week
though he was aware of the search. Then
he told Mike Mcdonald, saying he had
promised Mrs. Mcdonald to keep the
secret for week. He refused to talk.

What to Eat.

There are few subjects of the day
around which cluster SO many theories
as tha6 of food. It is not alone the guam
tity but the quality of which one eats
that satisfies the appetite apd nourlshes
the body. No housekeeper has mastered
the art of cooking who does not know
something of the chemical developments
of food. and the purpose it serves when
taken into the system, and it is particu-
larly important that she would know
what will best supply the real needs of
her growing family, as the more perfect.
ly it is adapted to their wants the more
vigorous will be the body and more per-
feet the der elopment of muscle, nerve
and brain.
The first consideration in the selection
aud the preparation of food is to know
what is adauted to the peculiar condition
of those to be fed; the child requires
food composed of different elements
from that which best suits the adult,
while the diet of the brain worker who
leads a sedentary life and whose work
makes heavy demands on the nervous
system, should vary from that of the
man Of active pursuits, whose business
calls him into the open air and furnishes

edge in cooking is 70 teach how to sup
plement one kind of food for another
which contains the needed elements in
which the first is deficient.
The substance richest in muscle-mak-
ing is albumen, and is contained ID the
white of an egg and the lean of meat.
The CARBON needed TO sustain the heat
of the body is most abundant IN vegeta
bles and cereals, which furnish large
amount of starch; oil is also of i'm por-
lance in supplying carbon TO the system,
but it does not nourish the muscle. But
ter IL the least objectionable of all fats;
beef fat is more wholesome than lard,
while the fat from salt pork and smoked
bacon is less iuiuours than that from
the fresh pork. Carbon is also supplied
by the use OF sugar, which, in moderate
quantities, has no Ill effect. Nearly ali
fruits are rich in sugar, hence their worth
as food. Eggs contain a great deal of
carbon, and are for that reason excellent
food to combine with articles composed
largely of starch. Phosphorus is another
Necessary element of food, especially
where nerves and brain are overworked,
and it it found in fish, game, oysters,
cheese and some vegetables.
Milk contains all the necessary material
for nourishing the system; but not suf-

A Model Post Office.

new Postmaster was appointed last
spring for one of The villages below At
lantic City on the Jersey cost, and about
June 1, people began to write to the two
hotels there for rooms and rates. An

Indians scalped their dead foes, hanging
trophies OF the handles of their spears,
and INDUCED in baroarous war-dance,
which was prolonged all night, thss aug
nenting in the minds of al, except the
aborigjnes engaged in the revel, the hor-
rors of the preceding day.
A beautiful, balmy, sunshiny morning
tended to dispel the terrors of the night
We lost no time in getting ready to move
from the scene of massacre, and got away
at an early hour. The trip to RiIey's
Camp on the Arkansas was made without
a single encounter, but here @e met
trouble of another kind, which, though it
was of mild form com paratively, caused
CONSERVATION for time. We were over
due several days, and Capt. Riley
obedient to military orders received
prior to his departure from Fort Leaven-
worth, and fearing his command mig bit
run short of rations, had broken camp
and started for the Missouri River. To
dis patch a courier and overtake our es-
cort was our only hope, which we did
without delay and happily the courier
overlook Riley not far distant, and he
halted for US TO come up. The remain
der Of our journey home was uneveRtful.
Kit Kerson and myself we're of the same
age. He was one OF my companions on
the first trip across the plains. We were
the youngest of the company. Kit had
not then the famous reputation he after
wards made for himself, but he was even
at that time a true comrade and brave
man. Although I have lived longer than
the allotted age of Nan, the circumstances
have related are as wildly impressed
upon my memory as if they had occurred
only yesterday. The days for such ad-
ventures are over, for the country is now
civilized. The dreary solitude of the
plains no longer exists, the shrill whistle
of the iron horse has disturbed it. The
Indians hsve been relegated to the reser-
walton, and the buffalo and the wild horse
are we'll nigh extinct. The wheels of
progress, guided by the hand of the white
man, will continue to revolve until there
will ere long not be square mile of that
vast domain for the red man to roam over
at will, and the buffalo, the antelope and
the wild horse will only be remembered
as part end parcel of that primitive
condition which was forced to yield TO
the onward march of civilization.

WHEN LISA SINGS-A PASTORAL.
s. j. ApAIR FITZGERALD.

When Lisa sings the love birds cease their song,
With greedy Joy they drink in every note,
And nearer to her bower they gladly throng,
To learn the sweetness of her magic throatl
UGH bar nony from heaven she must have
stolen,
For the angels listen as her thrillings skyward
float.
When Lisa sings the zephyrs, 'raptured, sigh,
The roses blush with conscious happiness;
The echoes pause, not daring to reply
The brook stands still her witchery to con-
fesS.
And all the world is hushed as her soft warblings
rise,
Forgetting that life is life, the singers soul to
bless.
When Lisa sings unto my ravished ear
Each luscious note unfolds loves golden tale;
With thrilling pulse, made bold with mine own
tear.

And melody unpent Of sweetest joy born,

LONDON SPECTATOR

Ginning dream of the way
With oceans rapture and roar.
/ met a maiden to-day
Walking along on the shore;
NaiSlng in mai len wise,
Modest and kind and fair,
The freshness of spring in her eyes
And the fulInesS of spring in her hair.
Cloud shadow and Scudding sunburSt
Were swift on the floor Of the sea,
And mad wind was romping its worst,
But what was their magic TO me?
WHAT the charm OF the mi summer skiess
| only saw she was there,
A dream Of the sea in her eyes
And the kiss of the sun in her hair.
/ watched her vanish in space;
she came where 1 walked no more;
But something had passed of her grace
To the spell of the wave aud the shore;
AM now rs the glad stars rise,
She comes to me ROSY and rare,
The delight of the wind in her eyes
And the hand of the wind 10 her hair.

InQlan HOrsemaushin.

A orrespondent of the Omaha Herald,
having visited an Arapahoe camp, gives
the following account of ali Indian drill,
ordered for his amusement.
Fifty fne-lOoking young men, mounted
upon ponies, drew up before the tents.
At signal from the chief, they began
their evolutions with loud yell.
In moment they disappeared over a
ueighboring hill. Then there suddenly
rose mighty tram ping of horses feet,
and they swept past again, so compact
that I only saw a ball made of horses and
men.
Splitting in two, one body swept to the
right and another to the left, and again
disappeared. Presently they charged
each other in solid lines, and while the
spectator waited breathlessly for the
shock of collision, the files skilfully
opened to the right and left, and the lines
passed through at in tervals without touch
ing.
Now came the moment for displaying
individual Workmanship. Some OF the
riders approached, each lying so close 30
his pony's back that nothing but the
horse could be seen. Others stood erect
upon their animals backs. Some hung
to the horse by one foot and one hand,
so that their bodies were com pletely pro-
tected by those of the ponies.
These young warriors threw objects
upon the ground, and picked them up at
full gaIlop, and drew bows and shot arrows
from beneath the horses necks. Some
of the men exchanged horses while
riding.
Again, man would fall from his horse
as if wounded, and two others riding up
beside him, would take him by an arm
and leg, swing him between their horses
and carry him off.
This exhibition lasted nearly two hours.

THE RETURN TRIP.

We concluded TO change our destina-
ton and go TO Taos instead of Santa Fe,
but the governor of the latter place sent
soldiers to stop Us, with the information
that Taos was not place of entry. The
soldiers guarded us for a week until we
reached Santa Fe. There we disposed
of our goods, and soon began to think of
the journey that would take us back to
the loved ones at home.
In 1927. the year before my first trip
TO Mexico, there had been a rebellion
there and Gov. Obreai was killed, his head
being cut off and carried through the
| streets of Santa Fe on pole. The feel
ing had not died odt, an6 many dIsIoyal
SpanIards were Dan1shed for refusing to
take the oath of allegiance. When we
started on our homeward journey seven
priests and a number of wealthy fam
lilies, comfortably fixed in wagons, ac-
companied Us. The Mexican govern
ment sent Gen. Bescario with five
| companies of soldiers ana % friendly
Indians to escort US to Capt. Riley's
| camp. We had no trouble until we
| tonched the Cimarron river, when Just
as We were getting ready to go into camp
the sentinels saw loo Indians approach
ing. The sentinels opened fire on them,
and then made PERCEPTIONS retreat to
camp. The Indians displayed flag of
truce, came into camp and made friendly
! overtures. The friendly Indians with
BescarIo wanted TO fight, declaring that
the intrude S meant mischief. We re-
| quested them TO surrender their arms
rs proof of their sincerity. They pre-
tended they were going to do so, when
one of the Indians placed the muzzle of
his gun to the breast of our Indian in
| terpeter and tired, killing him instantly.
| The scene that followed this act of
treachery and tragedy BEETLES description.
The struggle was fierce and bloody.
Eleven of Bescarios men were killed out

| cape, but we pressed them closely and
