Sometimes the Herald and the Transcript
have a tilt at arms, and sling ink at
each other, and insert insinuating wood
cuts until the people Of the town have
formed two parties-the Calkinites and
the Watsonites-and the Marshal puts a
new bacon skin under the bearings of his
Gatling gun, and the Riot Act is ready for
perusal, and then one of the editors goes to
the other editors Office, and they fall on
each others necks, and embrace, swap
Office towels-and the war is ended. Mr..
Calkins, when he sees that Mr.. Watson is
about to fall on his neck, always manages,
by an adroit movement, to get on top and
evade the biggest and saltiest tears.
Nevada City certainly has splendid
future ahead of it. provided the people who

terprise. With the most healthy climate
in the world, great agricultural, horticult-
ural and mineral resources, the county

MONOPOLY IN GRIEF.
Pointed and Imperative Instructions Laid
Down by the Chief Mourner.

The colored people in a small town in
Georgia had gathered at their church to
hold funeral services over the remains of
woman who had died couple of days be-
fore, says the Chattanooga Times, and the
ceremonies were about to begin when the
bereaved husband, who was large, cor
pulent man, beckoned to one of the men
standing in the vestibule to follow him to
the horse-shed in the rear of the church.
When they arrived there the bereaved
turned on him with:
"See heah, Moses, wants an under
standin' wild yo' befo' dis funeral goes anf

"What is it, Julius ?" asked the other.
"Las' week, when we buried Henry Car,

OF all roosting places imaginable the
hands of clock would seem the last place
a bird would seek. But, nevertheless, a
feathered warbler of some description took
up quarters for the night on the hour hand
OF the Lima, Ohio, town clock, and was as
cozy as ''bug in a rug" 1t was first mo-
ticed about 1880 o'clock, and, as the hands
would soon pass, an interested crowd
looked on, anxious to know what the bird
would do. Well, that bird knew its busi-
ness, and when the minute hand drove up
il. front of it, demurely hoped aboard,
and, taking seat on the extreme end,
rode safely by. The danger over it re-
sumed the former position on the hour
hand.

The grip" or epidemic influenza,
obligingly went all around the world and
to all parts of it, in order that all medical
men might have good chance of studying
it. Most medical men availed themselves
of the chance. and they were helped in
their investigations by large numbers of
unclassi6ed laymen. Yet an eminent
physician is quoted as saying that, with
all the investigation that had been done,
nothing had been learned that had not
been on record for centuries, especially in
connection with the epidemics of 1910 and
17d9

A game hen died on r. W. CANDLES
place, at Cuthbert, Ga, few days ago.
This hen had reached the age of IA years,
lacking only few weeks. She continued
to lay eggs until year before she died.
For several months she had been totally
blind, but was fed and watered regularly
by Miss Mary Gamble. In 1856, when
Mr.. Gamble moved to Macon, this hen
was carried there, and brought back when
he returned to Cuthbert. In the spring OF
1882, when the cyclone struck Mr.. Gam
ble's place and tore things up this old hen
was setting in box on the kitchen hearth.
The kitchen was blown away, the chimney
was missing, but the hearth remained, and
there sat the old hen in her box, as COM
posed as though nothing had happened.

"What are they?" she inquired.
"They are bread nuts" replied wag

A Glasgow policeman was asked the
other day what his views were on the sub
ject of police pensions. He replied that
Burns, when he was an exciseman, had ex-
actly expressed them in his famous toast
Here's to the last verse of the last chap
ter of the last Book of Kings" No more
would he say, and the querist, on going

~ matter hnw mnnh aduertisinr na,

No matter how much advertising pays
it certainly costs. A single page in an
issue of the Century, taken for advertising
purposes, costs $500; in Harper's, $500
down to 500. A yearly advertisement
of one column in the New York Herald
costs $50, 800 for the lowest and Sl30,000
for the highest-priced columns. These
figures will doubtless be of interest to
men who invest 81 or So per month, and
fatter themselves with the idea that they
are extensive and liberal advertisers, and
that because of their investment they
ought to control the columns and dictate
the course of the publication.

A writer in the St. Louis Globe Democrat
reports that he has solved the problem Of
keeping pantaloons in shape. His plan is
to have separate pair Of suspenders fos
each pair Of pants and hang the garment
by the supporters on two pegs about as fai
apart as mans shoulders. Try this, he
says, and you will notice that the pants
never bag at the knees.

WAR EAGLE IN STONE.
Rickapoo Indians Como ON the Pstri6sd
Body Of Chief

Kickapoo Indians Como ON the Petrinsd
Body Of . Chief
A dispatch from Shawneetown, I. T.,
to the st. Louis Globe Democrat, says:
: There Is great excitement among the
Kickapoos over the discovery Of petri-
fed body, supposed to be that Of War
Eagle, q leading chief Of the tribe, who
died many years ago, shortly after the
tribes return from Old Mexico. Instead
Of the remains being deposited in the
ground in o coffin they were placed In
an upright position in large hollow
tree, there to await the coming Of the
happy hunting days, as the Indians be-
lieve.
Yesterday, during the rage of fierce
forest fire, the trunk Of the tree was
consumed by the flames. A party of In
dians who were passing through the
woods, stopped to light their pipes,
when the image Of an Indian warrior,
with tomahawk in hand, was discovered
underneath the ashes Of the burning
tree. The scene which followed is de-
scribed as being most remarkable.
The Indians were scared 80 badly
that they lost all self-control, and reg
ular panic ensued, the Indians rushing
madly through the woods and yelling at
the top Of their voices. As soon as word
could be communicated to the remain
ing members OF the tribe, some two
hundred in number, hurried consulta-
tion was held, at which 1t was decided
that the reservation should be immedi-
ately abandoned. Luckily some of the
more civilized members Of the tribe had
influence enough to allay the feeling Of
fear, and the plan Of desertion was not
carried out.
The place of fright was visited later
in the day. when, sure enough, the pet
rified body Of War Eagle was exhumed
and placed upon exhibition. The petri-
fication was perfect. The war costume
was as natural as life, there being per-
feet imprint on the stone OF both gun
and tomahawk, which were buried
alongside the body. The peculiar for
nation OF stone presents an imposing
appearance, and, but for the occasional
creases caused by insects, would be clear
of any imperfections.
A large hollow log was selected, the
top sawed of about fourteen feet from
the ground, and the petriHed body
placed therein, to remain forever. A
two-inch pine slab bearing the following
inscription marks tho remains Of this
tribes greatest warrior: "War EARLE,
great fighter, turned to rock. Indians
afraid Great Spirit. Let him sleep on
In his beauty forever"

THREE NOTED WIDOWS.


Fresh Gossip About Mrs. Dsechcr, Mrs.
Custer and Mrs. Grant.
Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher has re-
turned from Florida, and is seen on the
streets occasionally, little figure,
slight, white-haired and folded in q
black shawl. When met her yester-
day, says New York correspondent to
the Post Dispatch, there was the faint
est touch Of pink on her cheeks, giving
her that delicate, shell-like beauty
which sometimes goes with soft white
skin and white curls. She had bunch
OF lilies of the valley pinned on her bo.
som. Within the block passed another
woman whose proximity made mo look
about startled. Had she recognized the
daughter Of Victoria Woodruff? I
think not. Neither had the pretty Zulu
Maud recognized her. A new generation
has grown up, and in any case, there
would not have becn any thing dramatic
about the enoontre. Yet meeting the
two brought back old memories. Mrs.
Beecher's rooms are full of pictures Of
her husbands the young lover, in the
prime Of life, as he was the year he died
and most Of these pictures are 30
placed that the trail of vine, the petals
OF flower, caress them. Her inter-
ests in life arc largely the things that
interested him, or that she believes
would, II he were now living, meet his
approval. She gives helping hand to
the Brooklyn Woman's Health Protect
i've Association, which wishes to clean
tho streets Of dirty CITY.
On the same day passed within the
hour two other widows-Mrs. Custer, in
black dress and with winning eyes, and
Mrs. Julia Dent Grant, who does not
walk far, but was crossing the sidewalk
from her carriage. Mrs. Custer has the
record, believe, Of never making an
acquaintance who does not wish to be-
come o friend. She walks the pave
ments with splendidly free step, in
which one could almost fancy REM
iniscence of the plains. A more prosaio
explanation is found in her broad-soled,
common-sense shoes. She is devoted to
her husbands memory and absorbed in
her literary occupations.
Mrs. Grant looks we'll and kindly, and
stoutsr than is altogether becoming.
Queen Victoria, however, is feshier,
and Mrs. Grant dresses in better taste
than Queen Victoria. fancy not much
credence is to be given to the report
that she will 60 to England and live
with Mrs. Sartoris. All her interests
are on this side Of the water. Another
report, even less probable, says that she
has plans for voluminous literary pro-
duction. When she has finished the
"reminiscences which now engage her,
which will be practically her auto
biography, 1t is more than doubtful II
she sets about any further labor.

BEAUTY OF OUR GIRLS.

They Beat tho World In Symmetry and
Variety OF Attractions.
The beauty OF American girls is q
much-talked Of question. 1t is said they
have no distinct points, but it seems to
me that one who has travelled must easi-
ly have settled upon the salient points
which go to make up the beauty Of an
American girl, says writer in the IL
lustrated American. A general delicacy
of outline as we'll as coloring are de-
manded. A woman with very large eyes
and no other charms is never rated as o
beauty here. When a woman is said to
be beautiful in America it means that
she has face nodded in delicate lines,
features that are thoroughly harmoni-
GUS, figure which is neither pro-
nouncedly athletic nor too plump, and
small hands and feet. In England II o
woman is six feet two, and broad across
the shoulders, she is invariably spoken
Of in the society papers as beautiful.
though her feet may outclSss the iron
clad and her knuckles stretch wildly
abroad.
In Italy and Spain pair Of big, ex-
pressive eyes are enough, but in Amer
lea thoroughly-balanced series Of at-
fractions must be shown to win the title.
American girls form lofty, gay, in.
trepid and dashing army whose audacity
should be feminine. They have
all the athletic look of the English
woman, without tho ill-Atting gloves
and ponderous boots. The assumption
OF semi-masculine attire robs them of
their greatest charm. Womanliness is
the most attractive quality Of woman.

And. Like Many Others, Went to the

During the closing minutes Of the
session OF the court OF general term In
room No 4at the courthouse yesterday,
says the St. Louis Republic, a pale,
grief-furrowed face might have been
seen pressed against the glass panel Of
the door. The eyes were large and
black, but dimmed with excessive weep
ing, and there were heavy black circles
under them. Her dress was black and
threadbare. For ten minutes she stared
into the courtroom, hesitating between
fear and inclination. Meantime court
had adjourned, the judges retired and
all attorneys and loungers went quickly
out. Still the woman held her place at
the door Presently some one passed,
saw the woman, addressed word or two
to her. and then, opening the door for
her, said to Clerk Brent:
"a lady to see the Judge, Mr.. Brent"
