A gentleman somo years ago buried his
father in a temporary grave while the tomb
in course of construction for his remains was
being finished When completed tho removal
from one spot to the other took place. but on
tho temporary grave being opened it was
found filled with water and tho coffin was de-
cayed This being tho state Of things the
undertaken hastily packed up tho bones.
placed them in nn urn und reinterred them
The same night the son dreamed that lie saw
his father in great displeasure, and, awakiug
from his dream, he fell asleep ag,-n to havo
1t repeated. This happened for several sue
cessivo nights until at length he mentioned
tho circumstances to his friends, for, though
no believer In dreams, his mind was troubled.
One of his acquaintance suggested that per-
haps his fathers spirit objected to being re-
moved; another limited that moro likely all
tho bones had not been collected, and this last
hint led to search aud to the finding OF
bone which had escaped notice. 1t was at
once inferred with the rest in tho urn and
since that night the sons slun1bers have been
undisturbed, the ghost, his grievance settled,
appearing no more.-London Telegraph.

DEER LODGE, MONTANA, AUGUST 20, 1889.

Columbus was at that time member Of the
Thirteen club, and he had planned previously
to make his landing Oh Friday, Oct. H. He
stayed around the West Indies some months,
wasting much valuable time which might
have been spent in advertising in the Spanish
papers, but finally turned his face toward
Spain and landed there Oh Friday, March Is,
1903 Ho was met by Ferdinand and Isabella,
who asked him. before he had time to get
ashore, his impressions Of America Calling up
his favorite typewriter, Columbus rapidly die
tated few words, which were put III book
with wide margins and illustrations Of HIM
self in the act of discovering America, and
which sold OH the news stands like hot cakes.
In September, 1893, Columbus went on a
second voyage and discovered the Windward
Islands. They were to windward of him
when first seen, hence the name. If the wind
had been blowing the oiher way they would
have been called the Leewnrd Islands. Coz
lunbus returned to Cadiz i'll duo time, and
again set sail on his third voyage on May 80,
l49s This time he wasn't SO successful, and
about the only thing that he discovered was
that his friends Ind gone back on him. and
after he had been accused of various things
he was put in fcttcrs.
The king of Spnin, however, thinking that
perhaps Columbus feelings might be hurt
by his confinement, had him released and he
went back to Spain, where he died amid un-
grateful people. But then Chicago hadn't
been enlarged and they didn't appreciate
fully the value of his discovery.
Now after so many years have passed away,
American citizens are going to make up for
lost time and show that they are full Of graft
tulir for what Columbus did for them.

testimonial to his memory in the statue
which will be put up in Central park New
York, and a cut Of which is given with this
article The statue is a very stately piece Of
sculpture, as will be seen from the cut, and

1t is not generally remembered, but there
was celebrated in 1902 the third centennial
Of the discovery Of America, and although it
was not Of such grand proportions rs the
coming event, yet as an evidence Of the SEN
ti1nent OF the time it deserves attention, The
event was held in Boston on Oct. %, 1872,
and it is curious fact that the learned men
Of tho day, in calculating the difference be-
tween the old and new style, made serious
error, and the event was in consequence col
.bratel on the wrong day. 1t should have
taken place Oh tho 2lst. Previous to this
time, however, the nnnle OF Columbus was
not 50 familiar to the people, and it was not
until the Massachusetts, Historical society
and the Columbian order in New York took
the matter up. that the fame Of Colum bus
became fully stablished and the rlisconeep-
tions regarding the magnitude of his work
wcre dispellel.
If Christopher Columbus had ever dreamed
that, after spending seventeen years in rails
ins enough money to pay ais passage 10
America there would be such fuss over the
event. it wouli have made him feel sad, but
then Columbus didn't know anything about
it. No one kneH, or at that time thought,
much about the Worlds fair. The great
problem Of the latter part OF Columbus time
was ho" to keep olt of ja.l-not that he had
ever done anything to deserve it, however
and this occupied most Of his time to the ex-
clusjou Of the claims of st. Louis and Chi
ca.o. lie was much afflicted, and now they

even if he has been dead for some time. They
propose to do something i'll memory of the
man who went out Of his way to find new
place to spend a vacation. At that time
there We're no good places where man could
20 and spend few weeks where he had a
good time and DO all alone; in fact take n
good rest. There was no st. Louis then.
Columbus was almost the only man Of his
time WHO held that the world was round
There was very curious notion of the shape of
the existing earth, which is we'll shown in the
accompanying map, gotten up by Mr. Ptoi-
e:ny. The fact Of the matter was that very
little was known and the whole fabric of
geography was so tinctured with supersti
tion that it was hard to discover the few
grains of truth. Columbus, however, had
the right idea He had it firmly established
in his mind that if he only sailed far enough
to the westward lie would strike land He
thought however, that he would strike India.
The only trouble with Columbus was that he
thought the earth was smaller than it really
is. But this little nisconception is shared by
several people today.
On the 81 Of August, 1882, Columbus set
sail from Palos and bore away toward the
West Indies. twas Il little early for the sea
son at San Domingo People don't usually

but Columbus wanted to get good start
After they had sailed many days tho men
concluded that Columbus had made slight
error in his calculations, aud wanted to bout
ship and go back, but Columbus, knowing
that something Of this sort was boupd to hap
pen, had anticipated them. Putting his long
bony fingers apparently into the sea he picked
up piece OF seaweed which he had carefully
tackled to the vessels side before sailing, anil
then going down into the cabin and grabbing
pet canary which he had concealed care

he rushed back on deck and exclaimed:
