ALONE IN WILD DAKOTA.

Terrible Surroundings of an Ilii-
nOis Girl on the Desoiate Prairie.
AS the Sioux City passenger train
came to standstill in front OF the Web
ster street depot Monday morning. says
the Omaha Republican, a bright, intelli-
gent looking young woman with
pretty, girlish face. surrounded by a
mass of dark, clustering hair. descended
from the platform of the rear coach.
She was about the medium height
and rather slight, but the natural
comaliness of her form was con-
cealed in a sort of jacket made of uH-
tanned sheep-skins which she wore over
a dress of some dark material. Her
head was covered by Jaunty little fox
skin cap, while her feet were encased III
coarse leather moccasins.
Notwithstanding her uncouth exterior
there was an air of culture and refine
ment-a certain indeScrlbable some
thing about her walk and manner =
which spoke of better days and showed
| she was not in harmony with her attire.
| A gentleman and his wife, who live on
| Thirteenth street. CHANGED to be i'll the
| room at the time, and to them the
! stranger told this pitiful stOry-a tale SO
! full of rare dramatic incidents as to read
| almost like romance.
Her name, she said, was Margaret
| Conner and her home was at Rockford.
| ILL.,, where she had lived from child
| mood. Her father was dead and she had
! for several years supported her mother,
her brother and herself by teaching in
| the public schools. About year ago
her mother died. and Miss Conner and
| her brother Willie, who was now lad
| of sixteen, finding themselves alone in
| the world. sold their little homeSted
and, with their worldly effects, emf
| grated to Dakota with view to taking
| up timber claim and going to farming.
| They settled on Turtle creek. i'll Sphinx
county, about twenty miles east of
Redfield.
Going into a new country, and being
ignorant of its ways, they found it
necessary to buy many things, the need
of which they had not anticipated, and
they saw with alarm their little stock of
money dWindling rapidly away under
| these repeated drains. The neighbors
we're kind, in their rough way, and lent
willing hands to give the young people
a start. A warm sod house for them
selves and outhouses for the stock were
built, the requisite number OF trees
were planted, the stubborn prairie
broken and the spring sowing done.
The story at this point is so full OF
startling incidents that tits best in Miss
| Corners own words.

The largest tombstone in the world
monuments erected to distinguished
persons excepted) is probably that of
the late H. Scarlett, of Epson county,
Ga. Scarlett was very wealthy, and
noted for his misanthropic ten
dencles. He led the life of a
hermit. Why, no one knew, but it
was limited that he was victim of dis
appointed love. Several years before
his death, which occurred in the spring
of 1888. he selected a monster bowlder,
a miniature mountain of granite, look
$50 feet in dimensions, for tombstone,
and had it appropriately lettered by a
marble cutter. A cave fitted up
as a roomy tomb was eXcavated
under the huge bowlder, Scarlett
himself experimenting the work. After
his death neighbors. relatives and friends
carried the remains and deposited them
under the rock according to ante
mortem directions, and to-day the
mortal parts of Henry Scarlett repose
under the most gigantic tombstone i'll
the world.

MONKEY AND MIRROR.
How the Clever Little Animal Met
His Curious Counterpart.

IL
His Curious Counterpart.
Washington Post.
IL any one of a biographical turn of
mind wants to have a large chunk of
pure white fun he ought to go over and
watch the monkeys in the Zoo. The
monkeys powers of reasoning are lin
tied. but he uses what brains nature
gave him for all there is in them. A
gentleman recently passed in an ordi-
nary five-cent mirror with tinfOil back.
1t fell to the lot of lOng-taIIed monkey
with ecu points and Watteav piaits
around his ears. He looked in and rot
mad. 1t was the first time he had ever
seen himself, and the imagined rival
was so darned handsome that pang of
involuntary jealousy shot through his
uuadrumanouS bosom. He went on a
hunt. Holding the glass very still. he
would suddenly jerk it down and look
for the rival. No rival.
Then he held the glass still and
ducked his head quickly. The rival
ducked as quickly as he did. Then he
grew cunning. He Would peep slyly.
The glass was allowed to glide imper-
ceptibly to one side. 1t was of no avail.
Then the monkey reached one of his
hairy laws stealthiiv up to the glass and
made sudden snatch behind it. No
game. That monkey brain was doing
great work. 1t was NapoleoEic monkey
that was cenSpiring against the appari-
sion. 1t was evident that the monkey in
the glass was an active dodger-tiiat he
could not be caught by activity. He
must be trapped by strategy. Placing
the glass on the floor of the cage the
monkey pressed it firmly to be sure
nothing could be beneath it. Then he
looked; there was the other chap as
large as life and as impudent as ever.
He pointed finger; so did the other.
Number one grinned. chartered and
frowned; likewise did number two.
1t was no use. 1t was as if human
being were confronted with indisput-
able evidence of a fourth dimension in
space, and were trying to mentally
grasp a conception of its exact signifi-
canoe. But the ecru philosopher never
said surrender. After his gray matter
had rested bit he picked up the glass
and looked again. There was that
same old monkey, looking very thought
full and morose. He held him a
prisoner against his stomach and
carefully picked the tinfoil off the back
of the glass. This did not reveal the
prisoner. But he was equal to the
emergency. That internal monkey, he
argued, was evidently between the hack
and the front of the glass. He might
be flatter than pancake. but there he
was. A long black finger worked around
to the rear of the enemy. A vicious
scratch with grimy fingernail. That did
it,, The monkey showed up with
cash straight across the nose. Anoth-
err! The pit of his stomach was gone.
All four fingers at once. The battle
looked like Kilrain after the thirty
second round. He had him. In less
than minute that monkey, who had SO
foolishly invited destruction, was ami
hilated.
The ecru monkey had what was left
of the mirror in the straw and went off
in triumph to hang from the perch by
the tip Of his ge9 d'arme blue tail.

Another little caution that is found in
the action of the superintendent of the

amiss. The practice of flirting on the

strictly prohibited by him. Such rules
