Among the hundreds of paintings in the
Smithsonian's wonderful collection, for
which the regents would not take mill
ion dollars, even if they had power to sell
it, are many illustrative of the super
stitious dances and sacrifices of the red
skins There are also several paintings
which show the Indians "scrimmaging"
for the ball in game of lacrosse, 'ball
down." in manner SO like the modern
football match as to cause wonder if the
North American savages were, after ALL
the originators of that fierce form of
amusement.

knowing that good health
cannot exist without a
healthy Liver. When the
Liver is torpid the Bow
els are sluggish and con-
stipated, the food lies
in the stomach undi-
gested, poisoning the
blood; frequent headache
ensues; a feeling of lassi-

nervousness indicate how
the whole system is de-
ranged. Simmons Liver

Parties With Public Building Sites MAY
Have to Wait.
WASHINGTON, Sept. II. - There is
some delay about the payment for the
public building site recently purchased
in Kansas City. 1t does not appear
that the trouble is with the title, but
the treasury department moves slowly.
Mr.. Snyder, who sold the site, Is here
prepared to carry home the money, but
the government is in no particular
haste, seemingly, to disburse. What is
true in regard to the Kansas City pur-
chase applies to various other site pur-
chases and also to public building APP
preparations In fact, the treasury Of
ficials are moving with deliberation In
the matter of all disbursements except
such as are required for the actual run
ming expenses of the government. The
acts making the appropriations say that
they shall be paid out Of any money
in the treasury not otherwise appro-
priated" 1t is useless therefore to Try
to hurry the secretary of the treasury
in these disbursements.

perceptions quite as accurate. From the
end of his street he always looked for the
light shining through the hall window
of his own house, as beacon ray to guide
his footsteps home on the darkest night.
There was no gas lamp just in that
part of the street, and the hall lamp was
naturally his safest guide. Now the
night being somewhat overcast, with a
white fog rising from the river, Mr..
Childers' perceptions were slightly OBJ
scured. He looked for the cheering ray
from the window, and saw it plainly be-
fore him, but the familiar objects about
his own house seemed not to be exactly
in the night place. After imbibing con-
siderable hot toddy Mr.. Childers knew |
that old landmarks are apt to shift in |
an extraordinary manner. He had ex-
perienced this peculiar illusion several
times before. He had never, however,
allowed it to obscure his clear Judgment
of places the result of experience. 1t
was always safe, he knew, TO be guided
by the home light. Now in the mist
trees and houses took on the oldest
shapes, and the steeple Of neighboring
church seemed to have been knocked
into cooked hat.
Mr.. Childers walked very erect, nor
did he mutter to himself. He felt no in
clinatiOn to embrace a lamppost, nor to
lean against the fence Win ms nat
pitched over his eyes, and make an address
to group Of his imaginary fellow cltl-
zens. He was as sure of himself as any
man need be as he fumbled about a ut
tie in the fog to find the way to his own
door. II
Mark heard the clock strike one and
lost heart. Old Childers never remained
out later than one. It was more than
probable his little ruse had failed. The
crafty old fox had been too cunning 70

Fired" Her Lover Gets His Wealth.
NEW YORK, March 2l-After many years
of struggle, deprivation, and sorrow, after
the man she loved had been torn from her
side by the cruel intriguing of a jealous
rival Miss Mary Pennock, of Greenport,
L. l., is about to come into possession of
a fortune of nearly 81, 000.O0 During the
war Miss Pennock, who was then young
and prepossessing became nurse in one
of the Union hospitals. She was refined
and educated, and was almost idolized
by the sick and wounded soldiers under
her care In the same hospital there was
surgeon named Douglass from Ohio He
was young, handsome, talented and pop
ular An attachment sprang up between
them In the course of time they had be-
come affianced lovers.
Her Love Lacked Trutsfulness.
There were other female nurses in the
hospital who envied Miss Penuock, and
all that jealousy could suggest was done to
separate the lovers The night before
they were to be married a negress knocked
at the young girls room. When Miss
Pennock opened the door mulato baby
was put in her arms of you are going
care of his child" said the woman. The
girl tainted, and when restored to con-
seriousness she refused to see her lover or
listen to explanations. Brokenhearted
she left the hospital and went to her
home.
Refused to Hear the Doctor.
DR. Douglass tried in every way to reach
her and convince her that she had
wronged him, but she would not see him.
Within a short time he died, leaving her
by will all his property, amounting to
$500 600. She was dependent upon her Ia
Dor for living and his fortune would have
made her rich. but she refused to accept
il. About 1889 she went TO Greenport as
a nurse in wealthy family.
She Learns Her Mistake.
Some time later she learned through
one of the women who had been a nurse
in the hospital with her that the mulatto
babe was not the child of DR.. Douglass.
She revoked her decision as TO the accept
ance of the terms of the will and deter
mined to take the fortune and spend 1t IN
doing good to her fellow-creatures.
