Soma NIGHTMARE ToIes.

The Rev. John Campinus, Swedish
preacher who came to America in Feb
ruary, 1912, and landed at The Rocks,
within the present limits of the city OF
Wilmington, Del, was either troubled
with the nightmare or was the worst lial
ever produced by the Scandinavian ma
ton. Below give few samples of his
able yarns:
"There Is kind of fly here which the
natives call 'cucuyo,' and which in the
night time gives so strong light that il
is sufficient when a man is travelling tc
show him the way, | have often tray
eled the darkest nights with no torch
but one of these flies made fast to my
cap"
Further along, in his "New Sweden,
the Rev. John says, There is here alsc
a serpent which has head like a dog
and can bite off a mans head as clear as
if it had been cut off with an ak,
There is also a serpent which has little
seeds in pocket in his head, and by
wagging the same the rattle may be
heard 100 yards"

and the peace talk was only blind
ct the stronger party were the ones to
show forhearancc and display confidence in
dealing with the ignorant and misguided
slNilges. and Candy permitted the talk to
go ON.
The Indians finally took the floor, and at
that moment their crafty brethren back in
the Lava Beds were attempting to draw he
officers of Canhys outpost- into parlrv
Finding that they could not do 50 they
opened fire and wounded ii lieutenant Tins
was seen from the signal station and WAS
about to BE- communicated to Candy when
the peace talk" party WAS seen to sudden
ly disperse. In an instant firing began and
the ready soldiers started to the scene at
double quick. But it was too late.
The talk had lasted two hours. when
SchOnchin took up the Modoc cause and
Captain Jack retired from the circle The
next move was the appearance of two
strange Modocs at point near by with
their arms full of rifles. This was signal
that the attack on the army outpOsts WIS
under way. Captain Jack, coming up from
behind, presented his pistol at CanbyN
head and snapped it, but it did not go off
All the whites took alarm and scattered at
the same time drawing their weapons
Captain Jack shot Candy. but not fatally
and he started to run, pursued by two

down and an Indian sprang upon him and
plunged a knife into his neck. DR.. Thomas
was Instantly killed at the first fire.
The chief peace commissioner fell a vic
tim to Schonchin whose father had been
butchered ut the peace talk massacre
eighteen years before. Meachem was pur
sued and fired upon until he fell. Meantime
Dyer and the interpreter Riddle had as

on the ground feIied by blow on the

him when ''Tuhe' revived and seeing that
her worst fears had been realized screamed

was concerned. the sayages fled
From that hour Canbys soldiers gave

from the Lava Beds and captured. Captain

1t is easy to spot newspaper women
all the world over. There is an air of
business about them that is unmistaka-
bic, and then they are always dressed
for the weather. They usually come to
q hotel breakfast cloaked and bonneted
for a days work, and they start out
with determined air which plainly
says that they are going to see all that
is to be seen and a great deal that isn't.
Let q sudden storm come up and it is
the newspaper woman who turns her
cloak wrong side out, showing a pretty
waterproof lining, draws forth pair of
light rubbers from an inside pocket, I'M
furls the umbrella which she always
carries and sails proudly on, putting to
scorn the weaker sisters who are never
prepared for anything unexpected

People who Talk with Their Noses.
1t is not pleasant to meet people
who talk with their noses, not sim
ply through them, but with them,
each utterance being accompanied
by @ movement of that member, a
sort of combination effect of upper
lip, muscles of the cheek and of the
base of the nose. 1t is too suggestive
of that loquacious bird, tho poll par
rot, which is the favorite type of q
talker of the brainless sort.-New

New York women,s Dainty Feet.

1.-THE women of New York have
the prettiest feet" said a New Or
leans man, Il have seen this side of
Mason and Dixon's line. 1t is gener-
ally acknowledged that southern
bred women have pretty feet as a
rule, but | never saw anything in
Charleston, Louisville, New Orleans,
Atlanta or in any of the other cities
of the south where l have been that
exceed in beauty the feet l have seen
here on Fifth avenue and Broadway.
I'm one respect the New York wom-
en- are apparently ahead of their
southern sisters-and northern, too,
for that matter-and that is in dress
ing the feet. Perhaps this has some
thing to do with the thing. The most
artistic shoes can't make a bad foot
look pretty, though they undoubted-
ly make a good foot look better. A
knowledge of dressing the foot to get
the best effect seems TO be well un.
derstood by New York women. -

GREEN NOW THE RULING COLOR.
Entertaining Sights for Those Who Keep
Their Eyes Open These Days.

Entertaining Sights for Those Who Keep
Their Eyes Open These Days.
What entertaining sights one sees
up town these days, The phenomenal
weather has sent the whole popula-
ton into the streets in its best clothes
The cheerful, prosperous looking,
well dressed throng is in itself an in
spring sight. 1t is too attractive as
a whole to be lost in detail, but oc-
casionally some novelty or piquancy
of costume detaches itself to the eye
4 brilliant looking blond had on a
cloak of rosebud-strewn velvet. It
had a flowing back, such as women
and dressmakers call after Vatican.
1t was the sort of garment that would
be advised to meet your husband in
ut breakfast by those who deplore
the curl paper toilets of wives. But
this lady wore it with gayety on the
street, and she added to the entertain
ment of the spectacle.
Another wore a grass green cos
tune with a Louis Quinze coat of the
same material with deep velvet cuffs
and pockets. She had a flower gar
den hat on her head and carried a
stick. There was u knowingness in
her costume and a confidence in her
rocco air of wearing it which every
woman would know only comes from
the sanction Of some great dress
maker.
Green announces itself as the com
ing color. Other women wore what
the farmer would call posies. But
these were Of green velvet, with deep
frills belted around the waists and
many jingling, tinkling ornaments
of Jet, steel and gilt. Green is the
ruling color now in London. and was
to he expected. 1t is said to throw
out the complexion, particularly of
the warm blends with bronze colored
hair.
But it is not the women alone who
give color and interest to the street.
The windows of the mems furnishing
shops look like avialies filled with
bright hued birds. The decorative
value of neckties can only he appre-
ciated when seen III their brilliant
reds. blues and violets hung, line re
peating line, like a bevy of birds
poised a moment in fight. There is
nothing in womans gear that pro-
duces such brilliant and striking eff.
fects in color, not even parasols hung
in air like group of strange orchids,
nor the coquettish boots and slippers
of satin on which the mind may erect
the fitting structure as Cuvier recon
structed the animal from bone, but
a pleasanter process, verify.
And who would forego from the
gayety of the street the man with
the woolly pups, the falkirs with their
walking dolls, circus riders and me
chanical tOysl Each gathers its own
circle from the hurTying throng.
Bank presidents, district messenger
boys, fine ladies, working girls and
children find they have a common
interest. The falSir serves a great
public end. The rush and press of
city life is hard enough on the strong
est nerves Any trifle that can in
terrupt this with a little wholesome
human interest serves q useful end.
