A GRAVE ON INGALLS, FARM.
Tradition Says 1t Contains the Bones of
White Man and Indian Girl

Tradition Says It Contains the Bones of q
White Man and Indian Girl.
A reporter who visited ex-senator In
gals farm at South Atchison not long ago
was escorted by the statesman to little
mound surrounded by tall, well-trimmed
oak and hickory trees and covered with
bluegrass, and shown a grave of which
good deal has been said and written. A
rough cross made of fence boards marks the
head and an ordinary stake marks the foot
1t is supposed the grave contains the re-
mains of an Indian girl and white man
her lover. The story, which is of a tradi-
tional character, is as follows:
Away back in the early part of the nine
teenth century, while what is now known
as Kansas belonged to the Territory of
Louisiana, there lived in a lonely hut on
the bank of the Missouri river an old In
dian and his daughter. They had wandered
away from some Southern tribe, and, find
ing picturesque spot near this point which
they thought would make them pleasant
home, they settled down, and for several
years saw no human beings other than an
occasional band of Kickapoos who inhab-
tied the northern part Of the Territory
One day a white hunter came along and
place to rest. His home was in the South,
but he had been hunting buffalo in the Ter
ritory with party of friends and had got
lost. In searching for the trail he had taken
sick, and his sickness proved to be of a
serious character, for it was many weeks
before he was able to travel. During his
illness the Indian girl was ever at his side,
caring for him as though he were brother,
and by the time he had recovered she had
fallen desperately in love with him. He
explained to her that he had wife and
family in the South who were longing for
his return home and that while he loved
her dearly for what she had done for him,
yet they would have to part. The thought
of giving up the pale-faced stranger turned
the girls head, and one night she crept
noise1essly to his couch and shot an arrow
through his heart and then killed herself.
The father found them clasped in each
others arms dead, and they were buried to-
gether.
Mr. Ingalls, says he will have the grave
opened some time and ascertain if possible
what it really does contain.

'There were a couple of pretty girls on
the car who had upper and lower six. After
the manner of women, who hate to climb,
they only occupied the lower berth, having
the porter leave the upper one pushed up
for the benefit of ventilation. There was
also on the train a fat man who came down
to the depot escorted by some hilarious
friends. They had been at some convivial
gathering and the obese gentlemen
was possessed of the foundation of a
large and putrefactive jag and had
the materials for its completion in a
quart bottle in his grip, which bottle he
carefully slowed away with big lump of
ice taken from the cooler in a convenint
station wash basin. He had lower five,
opposite the girls, my fat friend, carrying
his grip, coat, vest, collar and shoes,
emerged from the smoking room and forged
his way slowly and precariously along the
aisle. He got opposite his own berth, de-
posted his clothing in it, and in an at
tempt to put his shoes and grip under the
bunk sat down on the rail Of the berth occu-
pied by the young ladies rather heavily.
He sat there for couple of minutes fixing
his things, and then rising up seated him
self more firmly and began to loosen his
shirt collar. AS have said he was fat, and
he pushed the curtains quite distance
back into the ladies' berth, as he sat there
swaying with the motion of the train en-
deavoring to unfasten refractory button.

general belief the last genuine descendant

had been banished from both Spain and

A WAY TO PRESERVE FLOWERS.
Fine, Dry Sand VIII Give Better Result
Than ANYTHING Known

To preserve delicate flowers, says the
New York Tribune, take very fine sand,
wash it perfectly clean, and when dry ift
it through a fine sieve into a pan. Wien
the sand is deep enough to hold the flowers
in an upright position, take some more
sifted sand and carefully cover them. A
spoon is good thing to take for this as it
fills in every chink and Granny without
breaking or bending the leaves When the
pan is filled solidly leave the flowers to dry
for several days 1t is a good plan to warm
the sand in the oven before using it, as the
flowers will then dry more thoroughly. In
taking the sand off great care must be taken
not to break the leaves, as they are now dry
and brittle.
Pansies preserved in this way will keep
their shape and brilliancy of colorall winter,
and many other flowers can be equally sue
cessfully treated-anything, in fact, where
the full pressure of the sand comes on both
sides of the leaf; otherwise they will
shrivel. Ferns when preserved in this way
have more natural look than when
pressed, and the haidenhair fern looks al
most as well as when it is freshly gathered.

ELECTRICITY AND BURGLARS.
A Popular Error About Using the Current
for Lighting Banks.

for Lighting Banks.
A statement has been going the rounds of
the papers to the effect that bankers should
be on their guard against the electric light,
by using which they place at the disposal of
the first burglar that came along means of
opening the strongest of safes in the space
or thirty minutes. The elecric current sup
piled to the lights is described as so far
amenable to the operations of the burglar as
to be capable of concentration in the form of
get of flame" on the metal of the safe,
which thus becomes in a few minutes soft
and manageable. The alarmist to whom the
public is indebted for this warning adds:
''Those banks provided with the electric
light furnish the safe breakers with all the
implements they require on the spot" This
information is of rather a startling nature,
in view of the fact that great many banks
depend upon the incandescent light as pre-
caution against the slight fingered gentry"
If any bankers have been disturbed in their
sense of security by the statement referred
to, they may now be reassured. There is
positively no danger from any practical ap-
plication of electricity by burglars for such
purposes.
