PRESERVE OLD LANDMARKS,
An Item Suggestive to Every Community
is in tho Land.

An Item Suggestive to Every Community
in tho Land.
The news that Mr.. George M. Pull
man has offered to erect monument to
commemorate the massacre of 1912 at
the point in Chicago whore it has been
definitely ascertained that Fort Dear
born stood, should be suggestive item
to every community in the land. There
are few sections OF the country which
have not been the scene of stirring, or
at least interesting historical events.
The Central West is full of locations
where Indian fighting, renowned in his
tory, occurred. These points can now
be readily ascertained and permanently
marked at slight expense. Another
generation will find it difficult to do
this. There were many sites OF forts
which figured in the civilization Of
the West as prominently as Fort Dear
born. All Western cities Of Importance
have grown up around such Notifications
as this. At the East there are points
that can yet be identified upon the bat
tlefields of the revolution, and houses
which are still standing and known to
have been the headquarters of notable
commanders. There are ruins OF forth
tications, both of 177G and 1912, which
can be plainly traced at various points
along the Eastern coast. But, in ad-
dition to those which are still visible,
there are countless spots of most inter-
esting and important history which
can readily be found and thoroughly
identified. The mysteries of the
Indian mounds should incite the pres
ent generation to preserve American
history: Until recently these matters
have not attracted much gen.
eral attention. They richly deserve
National consideration. The exact To-
calities Of great events in which either
the armies of civilization or the armies
which fought our wars took part are
rapidly becoming lost both to sight and
to memory. A very little public spirit
and a small amount OF research by local
historical societies would at once rescue
from the teeming past the history and
exact position of thousands of spots
which, in all coming years, would in
terest and instruct our millions. Those
who have driven over the road from
Boston through Lexington to Concord
will appreciate what can easily be done
to preserve the history of important
localities and make it familiar to ali
passers. The granite tablets by the
roadside, which tell of all phases
of those days which show on the birth
pla les of our independence, add an in
ter est to the drive which nothing else
could give it. The brief inscriptions
make it possible to repeople these his
toric spots with the actors of those
patriotic days and scenes which sur
rounded them. 1t would be work
worthy of any community to thus mark
and permanently preserve the points of
its local history. There will never
come time when such monuments will
lose their value. In fact, as the years
pass and the Nation grows in extent and
population and power, such monuments
will grow proportionately in intere ST
and in worth. Commercial.

panion I felt his grasp again upon my
throat and the cold touch of steel upon
my forehead. It was no time to indulge
in questions of right and. wrong if
would save my life and hers, and with
out pausing to argue the morality of
the proceeding gave this man the con-
tents of the other barrel of my revolver.

fectually that he caused US no more
trouble; and, having ascertained that
both men were dead, lifted Miss AK
tell into the carriage and drove as fast
as could to the next village where l
reused the proper authorities and placed
them in possession of the facts. Then I
took Miss Axtell home and was graft
fed to find that her father was out of
all danger and in fair way of speedy
convalescence.
The two robbers were recognized as
old offenders; they had each been at one
time in the State prison and were we'll
known as very desperate characters.
Considering every thing, my escape was
most providential.

able night l fell desperately in love

CONQUERED At LAST.
A Young Bear Gains an Easy yictoij
Over q Famous General.

Young Bear Gains an Easy Victory
Over a Famous General.
General Willoughby Cotton was a
match for men and the dangers of war,
but, according to recent contributor to
Blackwood's Magazine, cross young
bear gained an easy victory over him.
He was grand, dignifed officer, warm
hearted, irascible, ready to resent any
slight lack of respect. Soon after his
return from an important Indian COM
mand Mr.. Quentin Dick greeted him
by Shaping him Familiarity on the back,
and saying, "How are you, Willough-
by?"
The General replied, coolly. "Pretty
we'll, Mr.. Richard"
Orchard! Why, you have forgotten;
l am Dick" exclaimed the too presum-
ing friend.
Eyes, sir, but although you are famil-
lar enough to call me Willoughby, am
not familiar enough to call you Dick, :"
said General Cotton. The rebuke, if
stern, was well-deserved.
A friend of the General had two little
bears. During the day they were
fastened to trees by long chains. 1t was
sure sign that they were out of tenn
per when they licked their paws. One
morning General Cotton and a number
of young officers were looking at them.
The little Bruins were evidently in very
bad humor. Said General Cotton:
mot any of you young fellows dare to
unchain one of those BEARS"
"WhY, you are great officer, and you
won't do it," was the reply.
you mean l dare not" said Sir Will
oughby, very Indignantly.
"No!' we exclaimed.
He took short stick from the hands
of one of US and went to the bear. The
little fellow licked his paws and looked
more and more fierce. The General be-
gan to unwind the chain. We all
chuckled with delight. No sooner was
the chain unwound and the bear free,
than he clasped the Generals portly
form in his arms. In vain did Sir Will
| oughby strike him over the head with
his stick. All his breath was crushed
out of him.
We rushed to the rescue and bella
bored the little animal. At last he left
hold of the General, who sank fainting
to the ground. We could not seize the
chain. Of went the bear through the
fower-beds to the house, scattering 8
group of ladies who were on the ter
races.
He dashed through the hall door
dragging his chain after him. Down 8

disaster.

He Is Treated With the Same Justice 20

Here there is none of that evil talk
so common in our Eastern possessions,
of the damned Niger There is not
a. sign of cutting or bullying; the ma
tives are on the whole treated with the
same Justice and impartiality as the
Europeans-a righteous principle, which
excites certain unrighteous Dutch
Beers to fury. There are few more
pleasing sights than the crowd of En-
glishmen and Kafirs assembled in the
public park and listening with COM
mon pleasure to the military band. The
natives, unlike most savages, seem per.
fectly entranced with civilized music
and their expression when "God Save
the Queen" is played is that of admir-
ing awe.
These Kafirs are really stalwart
well-looking, fine fellows. They would
even look dignifled but for thei,
extraordinary costume, which, to new.
conner, excites unbounded amusement
They represent museum of almost
every uniform in the British army

and Dragons; but three or four of them
are required to illustrate a complete

whose entire costume consists of q
lancer's tunic, buttoned tightly across
his otherwise naked body, and leaving
visible pair of splendid legs of a
shining mahogany color, which, in a
dining-room table, would be quite
beautiful. Another is coatless, but
wears pair of trews; another has on

and another has on nothing particular
at all. These tunics Enlightened and

wearers seem of their fnery. Their
wives-for their plurality is on the
Mormon principle-would be, on the
contrary, displeasingly ugly, with their
repulsive busts, their coarse, oiled
horse-hair locks, and their skewered
ears and noses, were it not that this is
almost redeemed by their dignity and
by the grace of their walk. Driven in

bear heavy pitchers on their heads with

sembling figures which depict Reheoca

Ha Thought of Immortality.


If the soul be immortal, it requires to
be cultivated with attention, not only
for what we call the time of life, but
for that whioh may follow-I mean
eternity; and the least neglect in this
point may be attended with endless
consequences If death were the final
dissolution of being, the wicked would
be great gamers by it, by being deliv-
cred at once from their bodies, their
souls and their vices; but, as soul is
immortal, it has no other means of be-
ing freed from its evils, nor any safety
for it. but in becoming very good and
very wise; for it carries with it nothing
but it's good or bad deeds, its virtues or
vices, which are commonly the conse-
quences of the education 1t has re-
ceived, and in themselves constant
causes of eternal happiness or misery.
Between the Ural and the Okhotsk
seas there is spot half as large as the
State of Michigan, which is frozen
ground to the depth of ninety.four feet
That is, it has never thawed out since
the world was created, and probably
never will.
