me rest of the bees coming in. They
had all sworn out search warrants for
those coons, but were content to take
substitutes. They crawled down in the

looms legs of the gentlemen.
They swarmed on bald heads and bare
shoulders. Fine ladies rolled on the ear-
pet in Partisan gowns and men stood on
cushioned chairs and shook their fists at
heaven! Everybody seemed possessed of
a frantic desire to get out of their
clothes, and all the time those miserable
coons were running around under chairs

dance; everybody appeared to think one
number enough.-St. Louis Globe-Dem-

The moving stone at Lexington is
one of the most remarkable freaks of
nature in the state of Kentucky, the
great caverns alone excepted. In the
rear of the grounds attached to the
home of the late Governor Gilmer is a
huge bowlder standing alone on the
edge of stream. Resting directly upon
this bowlder is another weighing at least
twenty TONS This upper bowlder rests
upon stone pinnacle not more than
two feet square, and so evenly balanced
that, although the slightest touch will
cause it to rock to and fro, hundred
horses could not pull it from its socket.
Biologists say that it must have been
deposited in its present position in the
time of the glacial epoch, and that the
texture and composition of the bowlder
argue in favor of the theory that it was
transported from the Lake Superior re-
gion to its present resting place in
good field of ice long before there was
single human being on the face of the
earth.-St. Louis Republic.

lasted one round. The coons saw that
they were outclassed and wanted to

Almost IN the face of the foremost Sj0aLT
his reUoluer bldzes its challenge.
Daring Indian scouts were ever on
their TANKS and front and rear, making
no overt move against them, but keep
ing the hostile camp fully informed of
everything that was being done and
watching restlessly for opportunity to
cut off every straying charger, to cut
down every struggling man. Knowing
all this full well, Berrien had given
strict orders-neither officer nor trooper
was permitted to leave the column by
day nor the bivouac by night; and now
its mission accomplished, the column
had started on return march, and up to
this time no casualty had occurred. So
long as the isolated battalion was NOV
ing toward the hostile camp, nearing
every hour the overwhelming array of
the enemy and separating itself farther
and farther from friendly supports, no
bar had been put to its progress. But
now the Indian scouts could see that it
was turning back, probably in the hope
of regaining the cantonment unmo-

years old, it is avsrred, has been inves-

The two screws are in two tunnels in the

of the blades do not project below the

invention is that the screws can be ex-

it is only necessary to introduce COM

Pursuant to his orders, Major Berrien,
with his battalion of the Twelfth, had
been scouting the open country that lay
to the northeastward of the cantonment.
So alarming had the situation become,
so significant if not actually defiant
was the manner of the Indians whose
lodges were pitched all over the prairie
around the agency that the command
ing general had caused intrenchments
to be thrown up on every ridge over
looking that threatened settlement. AID
ditional troops, including strong force
of infantry and detachments of light
artillery, had been sent to the scene
Hotchkiss and field guns were placed in
position commanding the Indian camp
and night and day the earthworks were
heavily manned and sentries and out
posts guarded every approach.
Meantime the main body of the hos
tiles was still ghost dancing and howl
ing through the wintry night far over
to the north among the breaks and
chasms of the Bad Lands, so strong In
numbers and SO secure from assault
within the lines of their natural fortress
as to laugh to scorn all premonition of
disaster. Runners had gone to every
tribe urging concerted action and united
revolt. Every day brought new acces
sions. and all that was needed to enable
them to bid defiance to the encircling
force was the arrival of the great bands
that had broken away from the reserva-
lions along the Missouri. followers and

that their own movements were closely

skyward ON almost every side, and the
night sentries declared that twice just
before dawn of two successive morn
ings they had dimly seen shadowy
horsemen darting over the neighboring
ridges and had heard the thud of nimble
hoofs. Even in the faded gray of the
bunch grass, even on the hard frozen
ground, experienced eyes could find cor

He PAINTED AT THE CURVE.

little over year ago an accident
happened on one of the big trunk
lines that run into Denver. short
distance out of the city. One dark,
rainy night, just as the engine was
rounding a short curve, the engine
jumped the track and the engineer
was very badly hurt. He was taken
to Denver and it was couple Of
months before he was able to go to
work again. Then he was given
light work about the yards, or day.
light runs, until he was thought to
be fully recovered. About 6 months
ago he began taking regular night
runs and seemed to be as good an
engineer as he ever was.
A few weeks ago it happened that
he was put on the same train that he
was on when hurt. 1t was noticed
that he was little nervous, but no
attention was paid to him. The
night turned out to be the same kind
of one as that on which he had been
hurt more than a year before. 1t
was dark and dismal and rainy. AS
the train reached the point where the
accident occurred the fireman noticed
the engineer slack up his engine, and
at the same time he began to get
paler and paler, and as they round
ed the curve where he had been
ditched before the man uttered a
shrek and fell over in a faint. The
strain was too much for him. He
was taken to Denver and was again
taken off his engine-this time for
good, of course-and is now doing
switch work in the yards. AS an
engineer the accident has ruined him
for life, and now he says no amount
OF money could hire him to steer an
engine around that curve again
