Canadian Woods Full OF Ncathen Eager

d, troit special: The woods are full OF
Cinnamon over in Canada. Long haired
heather in large numbers are dodging be-
hind trees and hiding in sequestered hooks
ready TO make q break for tlse United Ststea
the minute the clock STRIKES tWcfve Oh this
night of May .. 1t does not matter how
long they have been upon the continent,
they have all become sufficiently ac-
quaintcd with the statutes OF this country
to know that on May 1 the old Chinese ex-
clusion act expires and they hope to slip
into the country before the new law now
under consideration by Congress goes into
effect. A numerous aggregation has con-
scquently spread itself out along the border
all the way from here to Vancouver and is
only blding its time TO make itself part
and parcel OF this great republic. Detroit
and vicinity. however, seem to be the most
favorable point at which the celestials can
cross the border. for it Is the most adjacent
city to Chicago. whence most all Of them
seem to be bound. Because Of this fact
Detroit has always been u favoritc port ut
which to land after the trip through Cam
ada. from the Pacific Ocean, and although
there are no statistics to prove 1t, II Is un-
disputed that more Cinnamon have been
smusgled across the Detroit river ut vari-
Gus points than at any other place in the
country. Captain Pratt, the special Treas
ury agent. says the Chlnaman are avoiding
Windsor because they know they
will be closely watched there. The border
is us closely guarded as it can be by the
small force stationed hero. There Is more
chance OF their trying to cross at Marine
City or the mouth OF tho river than at
Detroit

square, utterly devoid OF windows, was
filed with yelling. squirming Cinnamon,
one W whom with difficulty held u candle.
In the center Of the room, chained to tho

The victim was shrieking. while several
celestals were sitting on his back, holding
him down. The officers were told that the
man was ''clazy" and dangerous. They had
locked him up to prevent him from killing
somebody. He was subject to spells OF in-
sanity, lasting for days, aud then he WAS
generally chained and locked up. The
poor heathen was released and taken to the
county Jail. From the description, the
dungeon has evienntly been In frequent
use. The room Is lined with heavy planks
and an iron staple Is in the floor to which
are attached chains, anklets and wristlets
for securing the limbs Of the prisoners.
The place is for the purpose Of inficting

Ills Mistake.

They had been married for several
years, and had gradually risen from
poverty to affiuence. One evening
Joe settled himself back In his chair
with a self-satisfled air and said:
Things have changed some since we
were married, haven't they, Mary?"
"A great deal, joe" she replied
quietly. "The first year was pretty
hard" he went on. Il didn't make
any more than enough to pull us
through. But l told you then I'd
get up; and l have" "Yes," she ad-
mitted, "you have. You've made it
much easier fer me, financially" ="
And I've worked hard to do ii, no
said with some pride; Il have toiled
night and day; and l will do better
still: you shall be even more comfort
able than you are now" "You arc
very kind, joe" said Mary, with a
faint smile: nevertheless, I've some.
times wondered If you quite under
stood the clergyman who married us. +"
"Why, what have l done?" he asked
suddenly, Strengthening up in his
chair. Nothing wrong, l suppose,
Joe," she replied in the same quiet
way, "but it has seemed sometimes
just fancy of mine, perhaps--it has
seemed as though you thought you
had married the Office. 1t sees more
of you han-than-" She stopped.
1t wasn't necessary to say any
more. 1t was only necessary to
kiss him to show that it was not in a
purely faultfinding spirit that she
spoke, and she did that. And the
lesson that money-well, the lesson
was not lost on him.

Miners In DEADLY Peril.

Bloomington. ILL.,, special: Smoke was
seen ISSUING from the mouth OF the shaft
OF the Mclean Coal Company. near the
union depot In this city. 1t was found that
the mule stables In the mine, which are 500
feet below the surface and sixty feet from
the foot OF the shaft. were on fire. The fire
department was summoned and n scene OF
the greatest excitement cnsued. Several
hundred men were In the mine, and the
members OF their families, nearly all OF
whom live near the shaft, assembled about
1t. 1t was soon apparent that the fire de-
partment had control Of the fire and that
access to the escape shaft was not cut OF,
and the wives and children OF the miners
were pacifed. 1t was narrow escape
from an awful catastrophe.

The Books Boys Read.

The truth is that it is not the boys
who read "bad books" who swell the
roll of youthful criminality: it Is the
boys who do not read anything. Let
any one look over the police court OF
a busy morning and he will see that
the style OF youth gathered there
have not fallen into evil ways through
their depraved literary tendencies.
They rwcre not brought there by
books, but more probably by ignor-
ance Of books, combined with genu-
inc hatred of books OF all kinds.
There is not a more perfect picture Of
innocence in the world than boy
buried in his favorite book, obliviOus
to all earthly sights and sounds,
scarcely breathing as he follows the
fortunes Of the heroes and heroines
of the story. Kansas City Star.

Armies in fiction are much more
interesting and consistent than they
are in reality, the Listener thinks.
In the first place, officers of the same
grade always have the same general
characteristics, 80 that one can see at
glance the part they are destined
to play In drama or story. Here,
for instance, Is your general Of fiction.
He Is always very grand; hasn't very
much to say, and generally wears
mustache and white side-whiskers.
He is not, however, SO strongly indi-
vidualized as your colonel. A colonel
in story-is always very tall,
spare, elderly, and generally stiff in
the knee-joints. Sometimes he is ILL.,
natured, but is capable Of great mag
nanimity and generosity. Always
bestows his blessing on young people
at the right place-and is frequent
,ly imposed upon by them. He inva-
:riably has resources outside OF his
pay, and is never dissipated. Your
major Of fiction, on the other hand
there are no lieutenant coloncls in
hOvels-is bad egg in harmless
way. He Is much given to the flow
ing bowl, and always has a florid
'cOuntenance as result. He is short
of stature, and given to strutting. Is
a terrible talker, brags a good deal,
and says "Egad!" on all occasions.
He fights, but in a comic way; he
sneers at civilians, and is always in
need OF money. Captains are of two
sorts, in novels. One sort is the
somewhat elderly captain, who does
not get on very well in the service.
He is always bluff, generally good,
luoking and frequently dissatisfied
with things. He is OF medium stat
ure. The other kind OF captain is al
dashing young fellow, sort Of glori-;
fed lieutenant. The rank of lieu,
tenant is the most important in tic-.
tion. Economically, heroically, the
lieutenant outranks the field mar
shal. In point of physical beauty he,
'surpasses all the rest of the army. In
battle, the duty Of "leading charges"
falls upon him in special way. He
is generally poor, but always wears
good clothes, OF course. In horse
,manship and magnanimity he excels
all other grades in the service. Wom-
zen seldom fall in love with any officer
but lieutenant, though the major is
the prey Of designing widows. AS
for the non-commissioned officers,
there are great differences between
,sergeants and corporals. Sergeants
are thick-witted and solemn and cor
'porals efficient and witty. Armies
could not get along at all without
,corporals. One gets the impression
that they rather run things, and that
officers are merely for
social purposes and for leading
charges. Thus the army in novel
iand drama-a pretty picture on the
whole.

Remains Of an Ois, Town.

Remains Of an Old Town.
Guthrie, Oklahoma, special: Special
Agent Harm OF the Interior Department
recently made a trip into the interior OF the
ktowa and Conanche Reservation to .
point that had never been visited by white
nsa, nnless Il we're some solitary hunter Or
scout ina wide canyon. among the noun
tains OF tire rc rcscrvation, he was shown the
remains Of an old town. the remnants of
walls and other evidences OF civilization In i.
dicatIng that either the Spaniards or Mexi-
cans had been there The Indians who
guided him TO the scene told him that their
traditions said that men had come there,
built town, and dug from the earth much
precious metal which they melted Into bars
and carried away to the South After
awhile the metal became scarce and part OF
the people left, the remaining ones being
afterwards massacied by the Indians. Near
the town were the ruins Of large furnace,
in which were tons upon TONS OF wood ashes.
Not far from this is what appears to be
worked out quartz lead. TAX altogether
there are many indications that the story
of the Indians is true, and that there was
located one OF the early Spanish mining
towns
