LGsy Joe.

Vague rumors have been brought
to Blackfoot that Lazy Joe, our In.
dian Philosopher, is dead, We doubt
the truth OF the rumors, but then 1t
would he like Lazy Joe to fall in open,
honorable battle The rumors further
say that he fell defending the honor
OF his home; the sage brush tireside
of his wickey.up; defending a U. S,
blue blanket, the nuptial couch of
that home, That Lazy Joe poured
out his life blood in mortal combat
with one who would rob him of his
se.squaw, who would destroy the hap.
piness of his marital relations, who
would blight his hopes forever this
side of the happy hunting ground
II Joe did so fall ho sleeps in an
honored grave; If he be not dead, then
all our sympathy is wasted on the
mountain mir, and we shall see him
again in his paint, his moccasins and
his blanket

BITUARY.

The object of this memoir, Rich
ard Ravnor, died 1T the residence of
j. F. Cox, in Wayne county, on the
30th day of May in the 80th year of
his age and was buried the following
day in the family graveyard at his
home.
The many citizens and friends
who attended the obsequies, and the
tender expressions of sympathy and
the tears that were dropped on his
grave, was sufficient evidence that a
good citizen, kind and devoted father
was dead aud his mortal remains
were being laid to rest. He was the
father Of ten ehildren-seven
daughters and three sons, of which
three preceded him to another and
better world. In February 1890, his
devoted companion was taken away.
Since that time he has expressed a
willingness and a desire to die; said
only a few days before the end that
he wanted to die aud go home where
he could be with his wife and chill
dren that were waiting for him at
the pearly gate.
He professed religion and joined
the Methodist Church at Falling
Greek several years ago. Since that
time he has lived a quiet, Christian
life. By his indomitable energy and
perseverance he amassed considera-
Bile fortune of this worlds goods up
to the close of the late war, when q
greater portion of it was swept away
Not one of the kind to be discour'
aged or succumb to adversely, he
went to work again and made "a sue
cess in gathering up 0 of this
worlds goods; he took great pleasure
and pride in helping poor men take
a start In life, and now has the credi'
of being the b%enefactor of seyera
persons who are now in good cir
cumstances. But his greatest ambi
ton and greatest desire vas to lavish
upon his family the luxuries of thi
life, which he was very successful il
doing.
He leaves five daughters and tw'
sons and a host of relatives AM
friends to mourn their loss.
Thus hath passed away a useful
, respected beloved ard honored citi
zen; sweet be his rest and a gloriou
awakening. ]. T. G.

SOlarOnleter.

The solarometer, devised by Lieut..
W. III. Beehler, Of the United States
man-of.war Pensacola, is a new scien-
tific instrument for the use of navi-
gators 1t consists of a stellar globe
three feet in diameter, giving the
fixed stars and consultations, and
having the meridian lines, the
equator, the ecllptic for the year, and
a horizontal ring carrying simple ap-
purtenances, the apparatus being so
mounted as to be kept constantly
level. The claim is made that with
the aid Of a chronometer, book OF
azimuth tables, and the nautical al
manac, ships position may be
quickly and accurately determined by
the solarOmeter at any hour of the
night or day when any celestial body
can be seen. Elaborate calculations
are obviated; and the invisibility Of
the horizon line plays no part in the
observations, as in those with sex.

HRHl EcSet.

Shortly before the outbreak of the
Revolutionary War. according to Mr..
Stones "Reminiscences of Saratoga,
a Yankee bearing the illustriOus
name of Roger Bacon moved to Sara
tOga, New York, and contrary to the
advice of his new neighbOrs, built a
log cabin on the flats near Fish Creek.
He was an old bachelor, used to hav-
ing his own way. He moved into his
new quarters in the late summer.
Much snow fell during the winter,
and the weather held cold until April.
Then all at once there came warm
rain. The creek rose rapidly. but
Bacon thought himself safe and went
to bed as usual. Before midnight he
was awakened rudely by the cracking
of trees and the rushing of the tor
rent He sprang out of bed, and
found himself leg-deep in water.
There was no time to lose in making
toilet. He ran to the nearest tree,
clambered into it, and waited for
daylight.
1t was dismal night, and his un-
seasOnable cold bath added nothing
to his comfort. The roar of the
waters and the occasional crash of
trees made it plain that the ice of the
river had broken up How soon
would it carry away the tree in which
he had taken refuge?
The dawn brought little encourage
ment. One of the first things he saw
was his cabin. lifted from its fOunda-
tionS by the flood and dashed to pieces.
The whole valley was waste of rush.
ing water: but as it turned out, the
flood was not the only thing he had
to fear, for just then he heard a
scream in the distance. Little by
little it came nearer, till he recog-
nized it as the voice Of a panther.
If the animal should scent him, his
fate, as the historian expresses it,
would be beyond the ''help of insur-
ance." Nearer and nearer it came,
and soon he saw the limbs of tree
shaking at ms great distance.
Another scream, this time close at
hand! A shaking of the branches in
another tree. Now he can see the
panther, crouching in the very next
tree, and ready to spring. His eyes
flash, and as he growls he shows his
fangS
The panther puts up his back,
shakes his tail, and makes his final
jump. His aim is straight as an ar
row, but as he strikes the branch
Bacon shakes it at the right instant
The monster misses his hold, and
tries in vain to recover it. His hind
feet dangle in the air. Bacon shakes
the limb again with all his might,
and the panther, screaming horribly,
drops into the torrent.
Bacon remained in his tree till late
in the afternoon, when his neiGhbOrs
were able to come to his relief.

Liked the Hat.

A man may be born great, or
achieve greatness, or have greatness
thrust upon him; but if he has no
sense of humOr, he will sometimes
fail to adjust himself TO bis surround
inga Mr.. Boyd, in his twenty-five
Years of St. Andrews" tells a story
of great Englishman. which illus
trates this fact.
He was prodigy at the university.
Whatever could be learned, he
learned. But he had no sense of hu-
NOR. He thought that mems eyes
suffered through not wearing hats
with brlms of sufficient breadth; so
he wore hat with an immense brim.
One day, after visiting great city,
he said to friend:
Il have had convincing proof of
the English peoples readiness to ac-
cept improvement when placed IN
their view. l had not been out Of
the railway station five minutes,
when l was surrounded by crowd Of
people all exclaiming, Who's your
hdtterss' You see they discerned the
advantage of this valuable hat, and
wanted to know where they could get
hats like 1t. But most unfortunately,
l had forgotten, and had to tell them
l could not remember who my halter
was. They gave me three cheers. and

Rosy Checks and Bald Heads.

1t was a noticeable fact that
large percentage of the Union League
members who waited in the club
assembly-roOm for election returns
on Tuesday night were rOsy-cheeked
and bald-headed, says the Philadel-
phia Press. A well-knOwn doctor,
who was in the room and who is as
bald as a billiard ball himself, took
occasion to explain the singular
matter by remarking:
"The scalp and the stomach are so
closely connected that the condition
of one easily exerts strong influence
on the other Hair falls out because
the scalp is feverish. A man who
loves to eat and drink the best he
can get is very apt to have a feverish
stomach. If he keeps this up the
fever is permanently impaired to the
scalp and the hair falls out. Show
me q rosy-cheeked man with bald
head and I'll show you person who
loves to live we'll, and who has an
inexhaustible fund Of good nature.
They like fun and excitement, and
for that reason can often be found
in the front rows Of our theaters."
