citizens of Pueblo did the rest. This

$500. Jack didn't have much to say
when the gun was presented to him.
He was overcome. But he signifed
his gratitude by eloquent action,
which allayed thirst.

recently Mr.. Martin is known as
''Jack'' to his friends, and he had
fine saddle horse which he had brought
down from SilVerton. AS soon as the
animal arrived he was taken to a
blacksmith's shop and on his fore
feet were placed two shoes made of
Cripple Greek gold. On his hind
feet were fastened two shoes of Creole
silver. This horse was led in advance
OF the band. A bride and saddle
expressly made by L G. Gallup Of
Pueblo, encrusted with silver and
gold, caparisoned the steed.

The original Cowboy band, which
visited Denver and preceded the
Philadelphia Commandery in the
parade, is the especial pet of the
people of Pueblo, where it's head
quarters are. Many substantial evil
dences of appreciation have been
given to the band. and the other
night at the Windsor Hotel, Jack
Sinclair, the leader, was presented
with a revolver the like Of which, ac-
cording to the Denver Times, was
never seen before. It is Colts As
caliber, with mother-of-pearl handle,
upon which hand carved. is the head
OF a buffalo. Colorado gold, of differ
enJ shades beautifully engraved and
chased, is inlaid along the stock and
barrel, mingled with crusted silver in
appropriate designs. Studded all
over the gun are precious stones, dia-
monds. garnets, turquoise, and opals
in abundance. The ornamental work
was done by Charlie Otero of Pueblo,
himself a member of the band. The
Colts company presented the gun,

Nothing was left to him but to lump
into his carriage and order the driver to
take him back to the hotel. He tore the

man; but his brother has drawn him in

that you have a special desire to impli-

monomania to the subject OF being i'm

1t did not take Lawrence long to ar
rive at the meaning of this. nor was he
slow in setting Col. de Vigny's mind
right, as nearly as that could be done,
on the subject Of arrest and imprison-
ment. Two or three stolen interviews
with Lucie gave him the fullest
knowledge Of the situation, and showed
him how to steer her father out of the
complication.

DINING IN THE MORNING.
In Olden Times the Meal Ho1r was IL

In Oloen Times the Meal HoHr Was 10
O'ciOck-Early Hours An Around.
1t is believed by some that the
word dinner springs from corruption
OF the word dixheures, indicating the
time at which, in the old Norman
days, this meal was taken. The mere
idea OF having dinner at the barbar-
Gus hour Of 10 o'clock in the morning
would in all probability, send
modern chef into a fit, yet, according
to Chambers Journal, it was at this
early period that persons of quality,
both in England and France, partook
OF the meal Froissart mentions wait

and. during the reigns of Francis
L. and Louis XII. of France, fashion
able people dined from 1890 and supped
at the latest at 6 in the evening.
And again, from a Northumberland
household book, bearing date 1912,
we learn that the family rose az 6,
breakfast at Z, dined at 10, supped at
4, and shut the gates at p. m.
Speaking generally, though the
dinner hour then, as now, was later
| in this country than in France, LOUIS
XIV. di0 not dine till II, while his
contemporaries, Cromwell and Charles
IL. took the meal at 1. In 100 the
hour was advanced to 2, and in 1851
we ind that the Duchess of Somer-
sets dinner time was 3. In 1850
Cowper speaks of 4 o'clock as the then
fashionable time. After the battle
of Waterloo p. m. was the time at

till 8 or 8; so we see through 400 years
| the dinner hour has gradually moved
through twelve hours of the day
| from 9 a. IN. to 8 p. m. When the
dinner hour was so early, often no
previous meal was taken.
The Romans, in the time of Cicero
and Augustus, took an early break
fast, from 3 to 4 in the morning, a
luncheon at II or l, and at about 3
O'Clock the cHna, or principal meal of
the day, corresponding with our din
ner. Concurrently, we read of some
not dining until sunset. A Roman
dinner at the house of wealthy man
consisted chiefly Of three courses. All
sorts of stlmulants to the appetite
were first served up, and eggs were
indispensable to the first course.
Among the various dishes we may in
stance the guinea hen, pheasant,
nightingale, and the thrush as birds
most in repute. The Roman gour-
mands held peacocls in great estima-
tion, especially their tongues. Mac
robius states that they were first
eaten by HorUensius, the orator, and
ACQUIRED such repute that a single
peacock was sold for so denarii, the
denarius being equal to about eight
pence-half-pennY of our money.

How Gurus Laid the Gable.


In Harper's Weekly of Sept II,
1858, there appeared the following
capital ballad from the pen Of John
G. SAKE, the Green Mountain poet,
and it is worthy of reproduction at
this time:
HOW CYRUS LAID THE CABLE.
Come listen unto my song;
1t is no silly fable;
IT'S all about the mighty cord
They call the Atlantic cable.
Bold Cyrus Field. he said, says he,
al have a pretty notion,
That 1 can lay a telegraph
Across the Atlantic ocean"
Then all the people laughed and said
They'd like to see him do it;
He might get half-Seas- over, but
He never could go through 1t
To carry out his foolish plan
He never would be able;
He might as well go hang himself
With his Atlantic ca bic.
But Cyrus was a valiant man,
A fellow of decision;
And needed not their knocking words,
Their laughter and derision.
Twice did his bravest efforts fail,
And yet his mind was stable;
He WANT the man to break his heart
Because he broke his cable.
"Once more. my gallant boysl" he criedi
@Three t1mesi-you know the fable"-
(GI'n make it thirty" muttered he,
GBut will lay the cable. ~
Once more they tried-hurrah! hurrah!
What means this great commotiOn?
The Lord be praisedi the cables laid
Across the Atlantic ocean,
Loud rang the beIls-for flashing through
Six hundred leagues OF water,
Old Mother England's benison
Statutes her eldest daughter.
Ger all the land the tidings speed.
And soon in every nation
They'll hear about the cable with
Profoundest admiration
Now long live James and long live Vic,
And long live gallant Cyrus;
And may his courage. faith and zeal
With emulation fire US.
And may we honor evermore
The manly. bold and stable,
And tell our sons, to make them brave
How Cyrus laid the cable.

time color. It was discovered after the
storm was over that the negro boy Tom
had run away Just before it, and in that
way only was he on hand to aid in Lu-
cie's and Lawrence's rescue. So with
out consideration for the succor he rem
dered. the overseer tied him up and
gave him a severe fiogging. OF course
Tom begged and howled and said that
he would never run away again, but the
conscientious oYerseer abated not one
lash of all the allotted number. Tom
was an old offender, enc that the phleg-
matte functionary had marked down to
be made memorable example of for the
benefit of the other negroes.
But we are slipping away from cur
story. Let US get back to the thread
OF it.
When Lucie was sufficiently recover
ed to bear the fatigue Of travel, Col. de
| Vigney chartered a small vessel by
which he transported his daughter and
/ his household slaves to New Orleans.
! The plantation hands he sent through
by land in the care of the Overseer.
! Lawrence was permitted to ship himself
and Star as a part OF the vessels cargo,
but he saw that Col. de Vigny was not
over hearty in according him that favor.
The saddle-bag OF money had been duly
turned over to him. and the Colonel
seemed more than willing to make this
contamination the end of their famil-
iarity, if not of their friendship.

A strange story of superstition is
reported from Homollez, in Hungary.
Several bodies of men have recently
been found there with their heads cut
OF. An investigation was made by
the police, and it turned out that
these mutilations had in every in
stance been committed by young men
who were betrothed to the widows of
the decapitated persons. The hus-
bands had died a natural death, and
the widows believed that in case they
married a second time their first hus-
bands would reapDear and destroy
their welded happiness. Hence they
had persuaded their new brIdegrooms
to decapitate their deceased partners

lain almost like one dead. He was
bruised and cut from head to foot; but
he had saved Lucie, whose courage and
self-fOrgetfulness under all the terrible
circumstances were wonderful. She
had seen her mother buried after being
rescued in a dying condition from the
wreck of the mansion, and had gone on
without faltering in the care of her
lover, with the thought Of her father all
the time in her mind.
Lawrence convalesced very fast, but
no sooner was he out of danger than
Lucie's strength gave way and she fell
Ill.
Meantime one evening up rode Col. de
Vfgny, with Star still in fair condition,
though a trif1e lame. The Colonel had
made the journey to New Orleans and
and broken up by the calamity that had
befallen his household. Such pain as
he must have suffered is best left I'M
told, even if words could do it Justice.
When he arrived he carried a small
leathern saddlebag at the horn Of his
saddle-Lawrence's saddle, in fact
and in this he had brought gold and
scrip to pay the Philadelphia claim.
He found Lawrence. pale and haggard,
watching by Lucie's bedside, and bust
ness was forgotten in the awful grief OF
the hour.
It w9s the overseer who thought of
skinning the panther and dressing its
hide to be kept as proof positive that
the Teche Terror was no longer to be
dreaded. The rug made of this skin
may be seen to-day in a certain princely
home on Rampant street in New Orleans.
Meantime, something had come to
pass that must make a disagreeable
spot in the surface of our story. It must
be told, however, with but one value at
taching to it, the value of truth. 1t
comes in as a touch of genuine old

THE C0GSWELL TRUST.
The Trustees Demand the Polytechnic

College From the City.
The announcement was made by the
Board of Education last night that the trus-
tees of the Cogswell Polytechnic Institute
had demanded the surrender of the college
building by the city upon the expiration of
the three years lease held by the city,
which expires July next.
This, il is said. is a step in furtherance of
the proposed defense to be made by the
trustees in the suit begun by DR.. Cogswell
to regain possession Of the property decided
by him for the maintenance of polytechnic
school.
The defense is reported to be as follows
That the trustees in starting the POlytech-
ME school were mislead by DR.. COgswell as to
the income Of the trust and the help he
promised the institution outside OF the rev.
enue from the property; that when the trus-
tees found that the school was running In
debt, and that there was no possible CHI auce
of its doing otherwise in the near future
owing 10 DR.. Cogswell inability or unwll-
ingness to furnish the funds he had promised,
they concluded TO suspend the school and to
increase the revenue from estate as much as
possible. To this end they leased the coll
lege building TO the city for the shortest
period of time the city would accept it,
which was for three years. and that this
lease has prevented the present trustees
from reopening the school. Now that the
lease has expired the trustees will at once
reopen the school, having suffi iently in
creased the revenue from the trust to main

Little Gertie Smith Tells n Sad story In
the City Prison.
Father would not let me 60 to school,
but kept me home to pack whisky for him,
so / ran away" said Gert!e Smith Of %
Glover street. when she was brought into
the City Prison last night.
She is IL years old and was neatly dressed.
The police found her wandering along the
water front, and when they questioned her
she said she had ran away from home at
o'clock 10 the afternoon. Her father, she
says, is porter, who has been out of work
for some time. Gertie said that she was
trying to find doorway in which to sleep
during the night but the officers thought
the prison was safer and more commOdlOus.
She told them on the way to the jail that
she had complained to her mother because
she was not permitted TO 60 to school and
the latter had driven her out of the house.
