matter in the six years which had
elapsed since he had been up the river.
should say right here that neither the
Kid nor had ever been over this course
before. but Sam knew il all. lie never
forgot a locality.
| think most of us have had the mis-
fortune to travel in the wake OF man
who knows it all. 1t is the Surest way
TO become a wanderer on the face OF the
earth. That is how it happened that we
padded around half dozen different
points without finding what we were
looking for. When we rounded the sew
enth the Kid and | made combined
kick.
ITS a mighty funny thing" said
Sam. 81 was looking for an old scow
that was anchored in the stream when l
was up here six years ago. We could
have run up alongside of her as nice as
a pin, but somebody must have moved
her"
Naturally. in the course Of six years;
but Sam looked as if he regarded 1t as
personal grievance.
'Well, boys" he continued, the
wind and tide are both against US, ana
it's beginning to get dark. Suppose we
run ashore and camp"
We did so, and Sam told the Kid and l
how to pull the canoe up above high
water mark. Then he said that il we
would get some wood, and find the
matches. ne would light the fire
while we went off TO look for
water. Looking for water in an
unknown land after dark is one
of the funniest things in the world.
1t is especially funny in Maine where
no piece Of land is smooth and there Is
always a rock with corners on it ready
to meet you if you fall. The Kid and |
started of across Il field, and almost
Immediately fell into the dry bed OF a
stream. Then we crawled up the
opposite bank, and got into thicket.
On the other side il was a rock fence
which was very hard, on the opposite
side. where we struck after we had
tumbled over IT, Then the Kid saw a
light which he felt sure was in a house,
and we pursued this elusive beam for
fifteen minutes, at the end OF which
time we reached the shore and discov-
cred that our beacon was the fire
which Sam had made He lay beside il
on the sand asleep. We were so sensi-
tive about our folly that we didn't wake
him up, but took a fresh start which,
after much tribulation, brought us to
farm house. Everybody had gone to
bed. for il was almost nine o'clock,
very late hour in that part Of the coun-
try, but we succeeded in arousing the
sturdy farmer who pushed the muzzle

ON the river of life as float along,

That many uuu>eous weed of wrong
Has root In "a seed OF right
For evil Is good chat has gone aStray.
And sorrow is only blindness.
And the world is always under the sway
or changcless law OF Kindness.
The commoncSt error "a truth can make
In shouting its sweet voice hoarse
And sin is only the souls mistake
In misdirecting It's force.
And love- the fairest of an fair things
That ever to men descended.
Grows rank with nettleS and poisonous thing,
Unless IL is watched and tended.
There could not be anything better than this
Old world In the way II began.
And though some matters have gone amiss
From She great original plan:
And however dark the skies may appear.
And however souls may blunder,

For good lies over and under.

He Was One of Those Rich Men
Who Garry Lunch in Their
Pocket.

PORTLAND, Or, Dec 15.-The full de-
tails of the gold brick swindle show that
Banker j. w. Shute, of Hillsboro, the
victim. was the biggest KIND of gilly.
After satisfying himself that the brick
was genuine, he drew $1,000 from the
Merchants National bank and gave 1t to
an uncom municative individual.
The brick had been subjected to pre-
sumably thorough test. Seven holes
had been bored into it and the shavings
pronounced pure gold by local as
sayer,
Banker Shute is said to be q close
listed old codger, and Is known as man
who carries his lunch in his pocket
when he comes to town. In letter to
the Oregonian he says,

TROOPS RUSHING TO THE SCENE
General Miles Starts for the Front
News From the Bad
Lands.

Sr. PAU, Dec. ia report received
here late this morning that sitting Bull
had been killed is apparently confirmed
by ndyices received by General Miles at
military headquarters in this city. lie
received two dispatches this evening --
the first from Pierre, ;. D.. stating that
sitting Bull and son had been killed,
but giving no further particulars. The
other was from Standing Rock agency
and stated that the Indian police started
out this morning to arrest Sitting Bull,
having understood that he proposed
starting for tho Bad Lands at once. The
police were followed by a troop Of cay.
airy under Captain Fouchet and in
iantry under Colonel Drum.
When the police reached Sitting
Bulls camp on Grand river, about forty
miles from Standing Rock, they found
arrangements being made for departure.
The cavalry had not reached camp
when the police arrested Bull and
started back with him. His followers
quickly rallied to the rescue and tried
to rescue him. In the melee the willy
old chief is said to have been killed, and
also five of tbs Indian police.
one of the police rode back to the cav
airy and infantry, telling them TO hurry
up to the support of the police. and then
hurried on to the agency with the news
OF the battle.
Nothing later than this has been re-
Ccived, but the death of Sitting Bull and
at least five of those who captured him
seems undoubtedly true

HE KILLED HIS FATHER.
Cut His Throat with an q d Butche
INnifa.


CHICAGO, Dec. ia crime of surpass-
ing deviltry and dramatic sequel took
place tonight in little tenement on
West Chicago avenue.
Carl loltZ, an aged widower lived
alone in the upper fiat with his son Paul,
aged 10. Tonight the boy took
to bed with him an old table
knife, and after the father had
gone to sleep, raised up in bed and cut
his fathers throat from ear to ear, sew
ering the jugular vein and windpipe.
The youthful patricide then rushed to
the West Chicago avenue police station
and declared his father had attempted
suicide.
When the police, with a physician,
reached the house, the old man was still
alive, but could not speak. He had
crawled from bed, and on piece of
yellow wrapping paper which was be-
spattered with blood, he wrote in Ger
man:
Paul Holtz did it," The paper was
the first intimation the police had of
this true nature of the affair The doc
tor bandaged up the old mans throat,
and TO the surprise of every one, he
uttered u few hoarse words. With his
finger pointing to his son, he said:
You have killed me, Paul, but you
can never enjoy the money. God will
punish you tor this" A few moments
later the old man expired.
The money referred to was $1,000 life
insurance in a benevolent association.

AFFAIRS IN GOOD CONDITION
While Sitting in His Office, in the
Presence of His
Friends.

SEATTLE, Dec. 15.-W. A. Jennings,
travelling salesman for the Northwestern
Cracker Company, committed suicide
to-day about 10 o'clock, by shooting
himself through the head. The cause OF
tho act goes unexplained. The piercing
report OF revolver was the first intima-
ton Of those present of the unfortunate
mans inten tions. Jennings went to tho
office of the company this morning
seemingly In the best OF spirits. His
sales on the trip just finished had been
large, and he was evidently elated. lie

pape. One of the factory hands was In
tho room, aud also one of the company s
patrons.
According to all accounts, Jennings
was studying out some problem in his
mind, and had his eyes Il xed upon the
blotter in front OF him. At about l1:2O
everybody in the room was startled by
a pistol report and the next minute
Jennings rolled from his chair on the
floor and the blood streamed forth from
hole on each side OF his head. The
bullet had entered his head "A little above
the right temple and passed completely
through, coming out on the left hand
side and embedding itself in the office
door Particles of the skull were blown
through his head and landed on the
office counter.
From all the statements of those who
were IN the office, Jennings must have
pulled the revolver out OF his left hand
coat pocket, and very quietly applied it
to his head, Tor the shot itself was the
first intimation that anybody had that
he was doing anything at all. The re-
volver was small Smith q Wesson,
and Is said to be 32-caliber.
Jennings was conveyed to the Provi.
dence hospital, whore he died at 2
o'clock. No one among his friends
seemed TO know of any cause for the act
and the fact Is wrapped in complete
mystery. His marriage relations were
known to be very happy and his bust.

Jennings stood very high In business
and political circles. He was AZ years OF
age, and had been on the North western
coast for seventeen years, lie was the

years ago,
