these regions. The capital was pitched at g place called Little Rock. The founder of that place was stabbed to death by judge, probably state or territorial judge who used to drink bad quality of whisky and picked 8 quarrel in the cocktail hour of the morning with the founder of Little Rock, and, irritating this mar, tempted him to give blow, and then with sword cane stabbed him through.
 Albert Pike was man of real in- tellect, and in some well organized society might have been 8 very re- markable person. He had 8 large body, which required to be well fed and well sustained. Living out in the woods of Arkansas he made his ideals of the secret societies, such as the Freemasons. It is supposable that in the districts where he lived Freemasonry was equivalent to good society in some other region. When all out of doors is wild and foolish 8 lodge may answer the poets de- scription of "Oh, for g lodge in some yast wilderness.
 And thus poor Albert Pike spent the better part of his later years in hunting up possible connection between the Masonry of the United States and Europe and something quaint in the institution of the Him doos. He showed me curious books made by hand in different inks about the vedas and the other Brahmin or Buddhist literature. He was an honorable man, who made his vol uptuous existence out of fees for act ing as counsel to the Cherokee, Creek, Choctaw and other tribes.

Ecclesiastical Wheat Fields.

Some months ago Presiding Elder F. A. Burdick called meeting of all the Methodist pastors of the Aberdeen dis trict in South Dakota, and put before them the plan of sowing acres of wheat for the liquidation of the church debts. The pastors took to the idea, and after talk with their people found the farmers would furnish the land and do the work if the church would furnish the seed. The general societies of the church, which have their headquarters in the east, then took hold of the matter, and shortly announced that the money for the seed should be forthcoming.
 The Rev Mir. Burdick said: We hope to have at least forty acres of wheat on every charge in the Aberdeen district, and on some as many as sixty. As Q matter of fact the church at Bath has already started the ball rolling with sixty acres. The income from this source will be applied altogether toward the payment of church debts, and conf- dently expect to see several cleared away before another winter. Minneap- oils Journal

Helping Electric Cars urhlll.

At Seattle there is about to be put into operation novel method of running electric cars up steep grades. The electric railway there has very steep grade about 800 feet long. and 1t has been found that the motors on the cars are inadequate to sur mount the hill. To correct the difficulty a small conduit about two feet square is constructed, and in this is to run small car as counter balance. Two ropes will be attached to the counter balance car at the top. When an ordinary car is attached to the rope the counter bal ance car runs down the hill, but when the car reaches the top of the hill it runs down on the other side, and aided by the motor, it pulls up the counter balance car which is now ready to take up an- other car.

TRICKS WITH COINS.
An Old One Applied in a New Way
 Twirling the Dollar.

Twirling the Dollar.
 A clever hotel counter trick was played at the Continental recently by a friend of Mr. Kingsley. The gentleman took ten silver quarters and laid them out carefully on the marble counter. One of the clerks selected one at his bidding, looked at it carefully SO as to be able to distinguish it from the rest and held it while the gentleman shook mp the quarters in the hat. Then the quarter was thrown into the hat and shaken up with the rest. The gentleman then laid them out on the counter, carefully placing them one by one so as to form triangle. Then he moved them mysteriously into the form of square and then into the form of a cross.
 "Now, the igures tell me-" said the performer, "that the quarter you selected is the last one in the right arm of the cross."
 "Yes, that's it, said the clerk, in amazement.
 He was tried many times and found infallible every time. The secret was that the quarters lying on the cold marble were all especially cold as compared with the one held for mo- ment in the hard while the clerk found it's distinguishing marks. Pick ing them out one by one, the per former told by the warmth which one was selected, and his subsequent moving of the quarters was for pur- poses of mystification, while he kept his eye on the warm quarter and later pointed it out. The trick is first said to have been played by the Ma gician Herman. Like other tricks, it is as old as the hills, for in tricks, as in everything else, nothing is new under the sun. 1t has been played with pennies in private parlors for years to please and mystify young folks. Its reappearance in a new form at the hotel counter, where it can be well played with no prepara- ton over the cold counters, will now begin to amuse travellers from one end of the country to the other.
 'tDo you know that silver dollar, twirled on smooth surface will al ways come tails up?" asked the same gentleman naively.
 The clerk looked as though he would like to have bet millions it wouldn't. A dozen times the gen. tleman twirled the dollar on the mar ble counter A dozsn times more the suspicious clerk twirled it him. self. Almost every time the dollar stopped tail up. "Talk about loaded dice," said the man, laughingly, ''you see Uncle Sam loads his dol lars." The dollars are so stamped that more weight lies on the head side than the other, and as the piece twirls it is almost certain to fall the same way every time if the surface is smooth and level.-Philadelphia In quirer.

Sturgeon said: "Well, friend, it's a warm day, and you have big truck there to carry a very small parcel on."

 into his palace by myrmidon of the character of the James boys, and he got down under the floor and there was pursued, but Killed about two of his assassins, but the third one got him under, and when the king of the whole country cried for mercy this miserable wretch said back 10 him: ''No mercy shalt thou get but this good blade," and he stabbed his king through and through. Another Scottish king, coming back from his defeat on some battle. field, stopped at house, and some way farer or fugitive or skedaddler from the battle, hearing that the king was in there, went in and said that he was priest and would shrive him, and beneath his cowl he took the murderer's view and stabbed his king to death. Another Scottish king, despsiring of getting away with those wretched provincials, drew his knife and killed Douglass, who was visiting his castle and defying him in the true Scottish style. Our country has had to deal with all these races and tradi- tions. Arkansas was slice out of Louisiana. and, with the exception of the northwestern portion of the state, there was not much to make 8 state of. In order to make it rich they endowed it with slavery.
