One of the Bravest of Deeds.

An incident of the battle of Waterloo
heard from the great duke himself was
told by Lord Shaftesbury, the philan-
thropist, to the late Sir George Burns, in
whose biography it is given by Mr.. Ed
win Holder. At one moment in the
battle the Duke of Wellington was left
alone, his aids-de-camp having been dis
patched with messages. A gentleman
in plain clothes rode up to him and said,
''Can be of any use, sir?"
The duke looked at him and instantly
said, eyes; take that pencil note to the
commanding officer" pointing to reg
iment in the heat of the engagement.
The note was taken and delivered, its
bearer galloping through the thick of the
fight to execute its commission. After
the battle the duke made every inquiry,
but never could find out to whom he was
indebted for this brave service. He told
Lord Shaftesbury that he considered
this one of the most gallant deeds that
had ever come under his notice, seeing
that it was done without prospect OF
honor or reward. News.

SPECIAL NOTICE
Main Street
Savings Bank
Trust Company.
5-Cent Deposit Stamps.

At the annual meeting of the Board of Direc-
tors Of the above institution it was resolved, in
order to increase the usefulness of the Bank,
and to encourage small deposits, that the sys
TEN of cent deposit stamps be adopted after
January l, IS91. This system has been in use
many years in Europe, and has recently been
adopted in the United States, and is regarded as
very beneficial, tending to teach children and
young people the advantage of saving money.
Agents will be appointed in all parts of the
city and county for the sale of 5 cent deposit
stamps. Each purchaser of two deposit stamps
will be furnished with book ten leaves, each
leaf ruled for twenty stamps. The agent will
send the name and number of each book pur.
chased to the Bank. Whenever any depositor
has filled a leaf with twenty stamps, he can
bring this or send it by mail to the Bank You
will then receive a regular deposit book, with
one dollar to your credit, and whenever another
leaf is filled and sent to the Bank another dollar
is entered on your book. Or, the entire stamp
book of ten leaves may be filed and sent to
the Bank at one time.
The Main-street Savings Bank and Trust Co.,
incorporated October %. 1889, has had 800 de-

A Practical Lesson.

One chilly evening the sitting room in
which my pupils and l sat was warmed
by CRATE fire. Shaking out some small
live Goals, bade the boys observe which
of them turned black soonest. They
were quick to see that the smallest did,
but they were unable to tell why. They
were reminded of the rule they had
committed to paper, but to no purpose,
until broke large glowing coal into a
score of fragments which became black
almost at once. Then one of them cried,
"Why, smashing that coal gave it more
surfacew This young fellow was study
ing the elements of astronomy at school,
SO had him give us some account of
how the planets differ from one another
in size, how the moon compares with the
earth in mass, and how vastly larger
than any of it's worlds is the sun.
Explaining to him the theory of the
solar systems fiery origin, shall not
soon forget his lceen delight-in which
the others presently shared-when it
burst upon him that because the moon
is much smaller than the earth it must
be much colder; that, indeed, it is like a
small cinder compared with a large one.
1t was easy to advance from this to un-
derstanding why Jupiter, with eleven
times the diameter of the earth, still
glows family in the sky, and then to
note that the sun pours out its wealth
of heat and light because the immensity
of its bulk has, comparatively speaking,
so little surface to radiate from.-George

just then, but later on he confided to
me the fact that at town about thirty
miles away this wicked partner of his

train and attempt to wrest the treasure
from his keeping. He wanted my ad-
vice, and offered to take charge of the

fusiveness, and as we approached the
town he shut himself into the smoking
compartment.
AS the train drew up I saw an old ac-
quaintance on the platform, and while
we were talking posse was hunting the

Will a Corpse Bleed?

Formerly there was popular belief
in widespread superstition that the
corpse of a murdered person would
bleed afresh from the wounds that had
caused death did the murderer touch it
or even allow his eyes to rest upon it.
The belief is shown to have been uni
versally established in Scotland as late
as 1868. In that year one Philip Stands
field was arrested for the murder of a
person who had been buried several
days. Although the man had lain
in the grave almost fortnight, Sir
George Mackenzie, the crown counsel
caused the body to be exhumed and
brought into open court to apply what
people thought would be the test of
Stands6eld's guilt or innocence. The
sworn deposition of several witnesses is
as follows:
"God Almighty himself was pleased to
bear a share in the testimonies which we
produced. That divine power which
makes the blood circulate during life
has ofttimes, in all countries, opened a
passage for it after death upon such oc
casions. After the wounds had been
sewed up, and the body designedly
shaken up and down. and, which is most
wonderful, after the body had been
buried several days, which naturally
causes the blood to congeal-upon
Standsfield's touching it the blood darted
and sprang out, to the great astonish-
ment of the surgeons who were there to
watch the event. Standsield, astonished
more than they, threw down the body.

A Isloody Battle AK.

j. w. Steele, an old pioneer of Mojave,
is in the city. and has presented to Will
lam Montgomery, of the American ex-
change, noted Indian weapon that has
caused the Geath of twelve men. 1t is a
stone battle AK about five inches long by
three wide at the thickest part, and
tapers both ways to almost "A sharp edge.
This AK has twelve deeply cut lines in it,
indicating the number of men who have
fallen by il.
Old Chief Lingona, of the Moiaves,
was once the owner of this weapon, and
it was he who welded it with such des-
truction. He first, while engaged in bat
tie with some emigrants, killed Tom
Jarvis, the leader. This was in 1854. In
like manner two years later he killed
Henry Koch and William Thompson
near Fort Yuma, being himself at the
time perforated with two pistol balls.
Then old Lingona slugged two of his
braves who displeased him, and with the
exception of John Kincaid, who fell by
his hand in 1856, it is not known who the
other marks are intended for. Lingona
died two years ago, and Mr.. Steele Sc
cured the weapon from the tribe. He
said:
"This old chief was thoroughly bad
Indian. He was in his day on the Mo-
jave desert what Slade was along the
line of the Union Pacific, and what Billy
the Kid and Wild Bill were. He only
made marks on his battle AK for the men
he actually killed with it. Those he
stabbed or shot he had another way of
reckoning. He indicated them by the
grizzly bear claws he had strung about
his neck.
"This string of bear claws is now kept
by his squaw at Mojave, who survives
him. 1t makes me almost shrink back
when / see that big string of claws.
There must be thirty on it, and if the
chief lad brought all his dead together
there would have been enough for a big
graveyard. San Francisco Chronicle.
