The Huntsville (Mo.) Herald says
that Bob Murphy, who lives with his
father, Mr.. P. c. Murphy, four or i've
miles northeast OF Huntsville, Is an en-
thusiastic chicken fancier, and regards
the rooster as superior 70 all mechanic
al inventions as a time indicator. One
day recently Bob and his brother Ernest
made up their minds to go with the
Moberly Sunday-school excursion 70
Columbia To do this they had TO get
up about three o'clock in the morning,
so as to catch the early southbound
train at Cairo for Moberly.
Fearing they might not awaken In
time, and not having much confidence
in the alarm clock, Bob went TO the
chicken house, caught his favorite
oamecock, took him TO the house,
placed the cock on the head OF the bed
stead and retired, sleeping as soundly
and sweetly as an infant child with
full stomach. The cock, as II antici'
pating perfectly what was required o.
him, remained quiet until three O'Clock
sharp, when Il commenced Growing

Garments Supposed to Have Been worn
by the Saviour.
The Holy Coat Of Treves, when last
removed from its place Of concealmenA
said to be in the high altar, was stu
intact. 1t is a seamless garment, says
the st. James Gazette, without orna-
mentation of any kind. It's body IL
fashioned like q cossacz, reaching
nearly to the feet. Its length, from
the collar to the hem, is five feet two
inches in the front and Ave feet three
inches at the back. The sleeves are
wide and short reaching to about
the elbows. The garment is en-
tire. but would not bear much
handling, being considerably worn In
parts Apart from the suspicious
blank In the record Of Its. preservation,
the Holy Coat of Treves has at least
one likely competitor in the Holy Coat
of ArQenteuil, which claims to have an
unbroken history since 1t was pur-
chased of the soldier who drew tho
prize Immediately after the crueihxion.
The history of the coat is written by
st. Gregory of Tours, who states that 1t
was taken to Galatia, where 1t was pre-
served In a wooden box. During the
Persian war, in 500, the coat was re-
moved for safety to Jaffa, and four
wears later to Jerusalem. After being
transferred back to Persia, the relic
found It's way to Coastantlnople'
whence the Empress Irene sent it as q
Gift to Charlemagne, who presented II
to his daughter Theodrada, Abbess OF
krgenteuil, A. D. 800. 1t was there cut
into several pieces by priest, and
some Of the pieces have disappeared
but the greater number remain. The

:. p.layed the Discovery OF Gold for Over
Forty Years.


Forty Years.
When Zebulon M. Pike was In New
Mexico in 1907 he met at Santa Fe q
carpenter, Pursley by name, from
Bardstown, KY, who was working az
his trade there because he could noe
we'll get away, says writer IN the Mag
azine of American history. He had, IN
1902, while out on the plains, met with
q series of misfortunes, and found HIM
self In 1904 or 1905 with hunting party
near the mountains. The hostile Sioux
of the plains drove them into the high
ground In the rear Of Pixies Peak. Near
the headwaters Of La Platte river pnr-
sley found some gold. He carried nv
tile Of 1t in his shot pouch for months
he was finally sent by his companions
20 Santa Fe to see II they could TRADE
with the Spaniards, and chose to remain
at Santa Fe in preference to returning
10 the hunting party. :,
He told the Spaniards about the golo
he had found. and they tried very naro
TO persuade him to 90 and show them
the place. They even offered TO take
along a strong force Of cavalry. bu'
Pursley refused, and his patriotic reason
was that he thought the land was OF
.IJnited States territory. he tolt
Lieut.. Pike that he feared they woult
not allow him to leave Santa fe' a
they still hoped to learn from him wher'
the gold was to be found.
These facts were published by Lieut.
Pike soon after his return, but no on
took the hint, or the risk was too grea'
and thus more than half a centur
passed before those same iich fields
qold were found and opened to IN

strange Story Of an Old Mans Nocturnal
Ramblings.
A Sylvania (Ga.) man, who was not
aware Of the fact that he was addicted
10 walking in his sleep, began to miss
his clothes on awakening in the morn
inQ. Four suits disappeared mysterr
ously, when he was constrained to ofter
a reward Of twenty-five dollars for the
detection Of the thief.
One night, says the Atlanta Constitu-
ton, the eldest son resolved TO cap
ture the thief and secure the reward.
So he kept watch secretly In his fathers
room.
That night he was surprised 10 see his
father arise, dress himself with closed
eyes, and walk out Of the door.
About q mile from the house was q
mill-pond, where all the men and boys
OF the neighborhood were accustomed

nan wended his way, followed BY his
devoted son. The moon was aiming
bright, and on reaching the popd the
son saw him take OF his clothes and
stuff them up an old hollow cypress log
as far rs they would 60. Then he
plunged In, swan around several times
and then came out.
His son thought, Of course, that jump
ing into the water would awaken him,
but when he went up TO him he found
that he was still asleep. Then II was
funny TO see him hunting for hi
clothes. He had forgotten entirely
where he had put them, and so, after
fruitless search, he went back to thu
house, donned his robe de mutt, and
went TO bed.
The next morning the old man knew
nothing about the occurrences the nigh
previous, but, convinced by his son, b
cheerfully paid the reward

among whom l am now living, have their

vote of the people, and they settle all civil

HORTICULTURE.
To Use the Wooded Island as a
Conservatory Of Plants.
Views OF the Chief Of This Department
Touching the Proposition to Make the
Floral Exhibit Permanent.

Mr.. John Thorp, the newly appointed
chief of the Horticulture branch of the de-
partment OF horticulture, writes as follows,
concerning the requirements Of the floral
display at the Exposition:
An effort may be made to change the To-
cation of the Horticultural building at the
Worlds Columbian Exposition to a place
where the building, or at least the central
portion, may remain as permanent con-
ssrvatory after the close OF the great expo
stion. The large island in the lagoon has
been suggested as an excellent permanent
site, and the building could be placed there
without necessarily destroying all the trees
The main part of the building could be
erected as a permanency and the wings and
annexes so built that they could be readily
removed after the close OF the fair, without
in any way iniuring the architectural effect
of the main part
1t is believed that if the Horticultural
building is TO be made a permanency many
contributions of immense specimen plants
can be occurred that would otherwise be
withheld, as the owners, while willing to
send such specimens to form part of a peg
manent national collection, would be loath
to run the risk of their total loss simply for
few months display. And to such an ex.
| hlbition would be contributed many large
specimens that have outgrown the limits o.
the conservstories which they at present
occupy. In addition to these there will be
brought from their habitats specimens Of
tree ferns, palms, erotons and similar de-
corative plants of larger size than any ever
seen here before-giants such rs have never
before been In cultivation, and such as no
existing conservatory would be large enough
to house. AL these will be gathered to-
| gether in the great horticultural building
at the fair. and it is Of vast Importance to
horticulture that such a magnificent oollec-
ton should be MAIDS permanent.
| Many of the plants that would be contrib
| uted to such q collection from public and
private conservatories are now historical,
and if gathered togather in a permanent
/ collection would be standing national
monument of lasting interest and vsiue.
This is splendid opportunity for the
formation OF the grsndest collection of dec
orative plants, the finest collection OF econ
omic plants, and the most complete assem-
bly, of UNIQUE specimens in the world, and
it should not be permitted to pass unin-
proved.
We trust that the powers that be will
weigh the matter carefully, and if the site
already assigned the Horticultural building
is not eligible for a permanent conserva-
tory, that such change be at once made "a
to permit the execution OF the plan above
outlined.

selves know that they must eventually be
swallowed up by the whites, and though
they will not confess this, they say that IL
it does come, the government must pay the
Indians for their lands, and allow each one
fee simple title to a farm. The Indian
territory has now only about eight
thousand Indians. Still the country
is much bigger than New York and
Massachusetts, and it is nearly the
same size as Kansas. 1t would support a
population of five or six millions, and it
contains the best lands in the United
States. Thousands of settlers are watch
ing it. and white men have settled here
and there in it, evading the law in some
way or other that keeps them out, to be
ready to take advantage OF the situation
when the territory is opened to settlement
There are thousands of men who are
watching the Cherokee strip, and when it
is purchased it will be settled as quickly as
was Oklahoma few years ago.
