BosToN, April 2l.-Not long ago there died at

named Nice Wcggs.
The boy was called Francis Freeman, and he
remained In the Narragansett tribe seven years.
Freeman had several SISTERS and brothers, and
when his sister Mary died, III 1883, n litigation
over her estate began. The property was situ-

A wild race could be seen for miles as the ex-

Some intended to stop north Of the Cimmar-

The wagons were left behind. and will be

No assistance was shown one to the other. 1t

Spinning q Mississippi Yarn.

A story is told of traveller On very slow
train who asked the conductor what the
trouble was. when the engine gave a dozen or
more sharp toots with the whistle, and was
informed that there was a cow on the track,
and when shortly after the whistle sounded
for station the weary traveller said: II
wonder if we have caught up TO that cow
again" This is very old yarn and has al
ways sounded Ike fable. Jack Richard
son, however, tells story which seems like
q libel on the great Father of Waters, and
which also duplicates some bovines Mr.
Richardson, who was formerly Chicago
newspaper man, but is now full fiedged ed
itor and proprietor of a daily in Wichita,
Kan, paid Chicago visit, and IN recounting
some "reminiscences told Of a trip he rlade
down the Mississippi during low water. Jack
says that they had considerable trouble all
the way down, but when near La Crosse the
climax was reached The time was neces-
sarily very slow, but tho greatest delay was
caused by cows. Every mile or two the slow
progress of the boat had to be stopped en-
tirely, while the deck hands rolled up their
pants waded out and drove herd Of cattle
from the channel 50 the steamer could get
by. Jack did not use 10 tell such stories be-
fore he went 20 Kansas, but he told this and
never blushed.-Chicago Herald.

Bow Cheap Gloves Are Mads.

1t may perhaps, interest readers to know
some of the secrets of cheap glove making.
My facts relate to Bohemia, from which coun-
try many cheap gloves are imported. Before
the introduction of the glove sewing machine,
which took place about 1870, simple appara-
tus was in use consisting of two brass plates,
IN which the stitches were incised, holding
tightly together the leather parts of the glove,
while the needle of the sewer followed easily
these incised stitches II was an easy work,
not at all injurious to body or eye, and an in
dustrious and quiet girl could, without any
exertion, sew two pairs OF gloves a day, for
which she received from two and a half pence
to three pence each, equal to about fivepenee
60 SIX pence day. Very poor wages. But
the money was earned in a comfortable way
Let us now compare what progress these
girls made in the golden era of machinery
The poor sewers are never in a position 10
acquire the requisite sum to be owners of
these machines The district to which refer
Is poor, mountainous part, the men mostly
miners of an imperial silver mine with daily
wages OF sixteen pence. The requisite ma
chimes are owned by middlemen called fact
ors, to whom the glove manufacturers from
all parts of Austria send their unfinished
gloves for sewing. These factors are pro-
prietors of certain number of machines
from twenty upward to a hundred-which
are fitted up in worisroorns, most of tnen,
very indifferently suited for the purpose.
the poor girls from the neighboring district
have often to walk distance OF eight miles
to find work IN such workroons. They leave
their miserable cottages at a. IN. TO b,s-
gin their days work at a. m After
hard labor of twelve hours on a most compsi-
Gated machine, and after having passed an-
