One Of the Oldest epitaphs upo2 printer
is that inscribed upon monument erected
in St Mary's church, Datchet, TO Chris
TOPPER Barker, at one time printer to
Queen Elizabeth. It runs as follows:
Here Barker lies, once printer TO the crown,
Whose works of art acquired great renowni
Time saw his worth, and spread around his
fame,
That future printers might imprint his name.
But when his strength could work the press no
more,
and his last sheets were folded into store
Pure faith. with hope Cthe greatest treasures
opened the their gates and babe him pass to
heaven.
In a different strain is the next epitaph
we shall quote Il purports to be written
by the defunct himself, but whoever wrote
it showed a pretty tttrn for makinga merry
quip Of a serious topic. No better idea OF
death being a release from cares and
troubles could be conveyed than in the fol-
lowing lines;
No more shall copy }Dad perplex my brain;
No more shall types small face my eyeballs
stres--;y ?
Eomore the proofs foul page create me troubles
By errors, transpositions, outs and doubles;
No more TO overrun shall begin;
No more be driving out or driving in.
The stubborn pressman's brow I now may soon,
Revised, corrected, and finally worked on,
Here is Q curt complaint;
Weary Of distributing pye,
Pressed out Of life, now must die.
I've cut my stick, my fount is sped,
Ny case is empty, as in life my head;
In fact. my last impression is-l'm dead.

Talleyrand, looking back, declared that
he who had not lived before the French
revolution knew nothing of the charm Of
living. Now, however, in England at least,
conversation, like letter writing and a
hundred other social joys of a quiet and
leisurely age, is fled, and in their place we
have kilograms, slang and slOvenliness
There seems to be a general agreement
that in our time conversation is in bad
way. Without Tepose, without a certain
strain Of old world courtesy, without
manners, in short, conversation is impossi-
BILE Many will agree with NJ. Renan, who
finds this to be a pushing, selfish, demo-
cratic age, of which ''first come first served'
is the rule, and which has ceased to pay any
heed to civility. Nor is this a question
only Of manners.
When the philosopher Schopenhauer
used to dine in tail coat and white tie at
the table d'hote in Frankfort he used daily
to place a gold piece beside his plate.
''That," he explained when asked, sis to
go to the poor whenever hear the officers
discuss anything more serious than women,
dogs and horses" The gold piece always
reappeared, and fear it would do so in
places nearer than Frankfort. Forty years
ago Sir Arthur Helps in Friends in Coun-
clip pronounced the "main current Of so-
ciety dreary and dull" It hasnot improved
since.-Gentleman's Magazine.

The sale Of flowers by auction is one Of
the sights Of Coyent Garden. The stands

private buyers at O'Clock next morning,
but aii their business is over at 0 O'Clock.

functions has The advantage Of a very
charming flower show, covering something
like three-quarters Of an acre OF space,
upon which are arranged tier above TIER
Of blossoming plants, sometimes extend
ing up and down, IN and out, to a total
frontage OF 100 yards.
The auctioneer, who takes bis rostrum
at 10 o'clock, addresses himself to the men,
who are called ''higglers," a kind Of mid
dlemen, who purchase the flowers in lots
and sell them to the small retailers. The
flower girls cannot afford to trade until
the general customers have had their pick
Of the choicest wares, but, taught By a
sharp experience, they are able to drive
very smart bargains, and know precisely
what to purchase.

They are to them tokens of an unknown

-4u morning was awakened py lnd
slroaking Of raven on the snow immedi-
ately over my head, and found that the
soft blue light Of my grotto was replaced
at the entrance by a pink radiance, telling
that the day had dawned bright and clear.
What a glorious sight awaited mel The
heavens were without a cloud, and the sun
shone with dazzling splendor on the white
robed mountains The broad, unbroken
snow plain seemed to burn with light re-
hected from millions of snow crystals. The
great peaks were draped from base to sum
nit in the purest white, as yet unsearred
bv avalanches On the steep cliffs the
snow hung in folds like drapery, tier above
tier, while the angular peaks above stood
ont like CRYSTALS against the sky. st. Elias
was one vast pyramid Of aiabaster The
winds were still Not a sound broke the
solitude Not an object moved. Even the
raven had gone, leaving me alone with the
mountains.
AS the sun rose higher and higher and
made its warmth felt, the SHOWS We're
loosened here and there on the steep slopes
and broke away, gathering force as they
fell. and rushed down in avalanches that
made the mountains tremble and awak-
ened the echoes with a roar like thunder.
From a small beginning high up on the
slopes the new snow would slip downward,
silently at first, and cascade over preci-
pices hundreds Of feet high, looking ike
fall Of foaming water; then came the roar,
increasing in volume as the flowing snow
involved new fields in its path Of destrue-
ton, until the great mass became irresistl-
bic, and plowed its way downward through
clouds Of snow spray which hung IN the an
long after the roar of the avalanche had
ceased.
All day long, until the shadows Of even
ing fell on the steep slopes, this mountain
thunder continued, The echoes Of one
avalanche scarcely died away before they
were awakened by another roar. To wit
ness such a scene under the most favora-
bic conditions was worth all the privation
and anxiety it cost.-Israel C. Russell in

ARKANSAS CITY, KAN, Feb, A
newspaper correspondent has just returned
from trip through the Cherokee strip.
Along every stream in the eastern part of
the strip he reports having found dozens of
families living in caves dug into high
banks, with a tree or bushes hiding the
main entrance, and many are living in caves
on the open prairie. Along Black Bear
creek there is colony of over 200 in caves,
tents and cabins, and at several points they
are preparing to pillow for spring crops.
There are at least 2, 900 boomers now occu-
pying the choicest quarter sections in the
strip, and it will take the soldiers months to
find them. Southwest and east of Kiowa
there are hundreds of settlers in the strip,
and it is reported that there are large num-
bers in the broken country at the extreme
west.
A dispatch from Fort Reno, Ind. T., says:
A number of troops are at the post under
orders to move into ''the strip" at short
notice. This order has been issued pre-
sumably in view of the fact that number
of boomers along the border have invaded
the strip without sanction of law. The
boomers will be elected by the military if
found on the lands in question, and any per-
manent structures erected will be pulled
down and destroyed.

safety of thousands of settlers. Nebraska
militia posted along the State line, and
South Dakota militia massed in the best
places enabled General Miles to concentrate
his troops so as to corral the Indians in the
Bad Lands. The Wounded Knee affair
was an unfortunate accident. What will
be done with Forsvthe is purely an army
matter. The general idea is that he could
not have done otherwise, considering the
circumstances" He declares that the kill
ing of Sitting Bull, while its effect was
good, was cold-blooded murder, prompted
by jealousy on the part of the Indian police
who were sent to bring him in; that they
called him out of his tent only to shoot him
to death while reading to him the warrant
for his arrest

How He Escaped Arrest on Several Very
Serious Charges.

now ne Escaped arrest on SeVeral very
Serious Charges.
TOPEKA, Feb. 4-Colonel Sam W.
Wood, the veteran border boomer" was
the object last night of sensational episode.
Colonel Wood is a resident of Stephens
county, and is supposed to have been i'm
plicated in the noted Sheriff Cross murder
case, for which a number of Stephens county
men are now under sentence of death. He
was Mayor of Hugoton for a time, and is
defendant in a case in which he is charged
with having embezzied 81, 900 of the city's
bonds. He was an Alliance man at the
late election, and his activity for the party
was rewarded by the Legislature Commit
tee of the Lower House, which appointed
him its clerk.
He was indicted in Hugoton last week for
bribing two voters. A warrant for his az
rest was given TO Constable Aurelil for serv-
ice. The constable came to Topeka and told
Colonel Wood he had a warrant for his ar
rest. The Colonel demanded copy of the
warrant, and the constable handed it to him
so he could copy it. Wood calmly put the
warrant in his pocket, and told the constable
to ''chase himself back to Stephens county" d"
Colonel Wood destroyed the warrant, and
the constable, having no proper authority,
was obliged to go home without his prisoner.
