A Baroness Adventure.

The pretty girl with yellow hair and s1tar
monds as big as apple turnovers who regis
tered at the Palmer house was Baronne Won
Buren,, of Paris, and the stately lady with her
was Mrs Thorne. The ladies were on their
way to Paris to tell their friends of a lively
escapade they had out west

Surroundings Of the Earliest Americans.


In associating man with ancient river val
leys we are too apt to think only of the
stream, and ignore the surrounding country.
Though largely so, palaolithic man was not
strictly an amphibious creature; for instance,
on each side of the ancient Delaware river
extended wide reaches of upland forest, and
here, too, the rude hunter of the time found
game well worthy of his ingenuity to cap
ture, and SO powerful that all his wit stood
him well in need to escape their equally de-
termined efforts to capture him. While the
seal and walrus disported in the river; while
Dish in countless thousands stemmed its foods;
while geese and ducks in myriads rested upon
the stream, SO, too, in the forest roamed the
moose, the elk, the reindeer, the bison, the
extinct great beaver, and the mastodon, all
of which, save the elk, had long since left for
more northern climes when European man
first sighted North America.
The association of man and the mastodon
is somewhat startling to most people; but, as
has been time and again conclusively shown,
it is no unwarranted fancy. We are apt to
consider the mastodon as a creature of so
distant time in the unrecorded past, that
man must necessarily have appeared much
later upon the scene. The truth is, compare
lively speaking, the creature so recently be-
came extinct that, in all probability, our his
toric Indians were acquainted with it. Ger
tain it is that, in the distant long ago of the
great ice age, the mastodon existed, and
equally certain that with him lived that
primitive man who fabricated the rude i'm
plements we have described. The bones of
the animal and the bones and weapons of the
man lie side by side, deep down in the gravels
deposited by the floods from the melting ice
sheet.-Dr. G.. c. Abbott in Popular Science

A SCHEME THAT FAILED.

An Adventures Attempt to Have a
BrOadsword Bout with England's Min
lister.
There was an Irish-American ad-
venturer in Washington last spring
seeking fame and fortune. He was a
voluble talker and an Industrious letter
writer. Many Western office-seekers
received letters from him, offering his
potential aid in consideration of small
fees, and many of them responded with
their cash. The adVenturer conceived
an audacious idea for bringing himself
prominently before the public, and he
almost succeeded. By diplomatic man
agement an introduction was obtained
to the British Minister, Sir Julian
Pauncefote, and the adventurer proved
an agreeable guest at the mansion of
the courtly Briton. After few days
the subject of broadsword contests was
brought up, and Sir Julian evinced a
lively interest, inasmuch as he has
been, and is, an expert in handling the
weapon. Over bottle of wine An ar
rangement was made for friendly con-
test in the parlors Of the British Minis
ter before few invited guests, the con-
testants being his Excellency, Sir
Julian, and a well-known gentleman of
Kansas City.
The latter was telegraphed for and
came to Washington, bringing his ar
NOR with him. The adventurer, how
ever, invited several newspaper men to
be present, and thus committed an error
which was fatal to his scheme. The
Kansas City contestant was a noted
Irishman, an expert, a younger man
than Sir Julian, and if the contest had
taken place he would have tried to win
it, even at the expense of the life of the
distinguished representative Of Great
Britain. One Of the newspaper men
quietly called and informed Sir Julian
of the possible outcome, warning him at
the same time that his reputation was
to be jeopardized, 10 matter how the
contest might result, and the matter
was unceremoniously stopped. But it
was bold scheme, and, if successfully
contaminated, would have made the ad-
venturer famous and probably infamous.

There are great many losses in the
