A CHILD's SKELETON IN A HOLLOW
TREE.-In the fruit orchard OF T.. l.
Daviss within few miles of Lexington,
Ky there was recently felled an APP
nile tree. the exact age of which no man
can saw. This tree was known far and
wide as the largest known specimen OF
the apple family, and bore the name OF
"Old Dave" from David Crockett, VINO
is said TO have paused at this exact
spot 10 eat an apple, aud that, finishing
the delicious morsel, he stopped ana
dug with his hunting knife cavity
LARGE enough to contain the handful OF
seed which he dropped into 1t. a re-
cent gale fellcd the giant to the earth,
from which violent fall the trunk was
snlit from top to bottom, exposing
pitiable relic of the days of warfare with
the blood-thirsty redskins.
This was child's skeleton, with the
delicate little skull cloyen from crown
70 chin by tomahawk, which was still
sticking in the rent. The blade OF the
weapon was sharpened stone with q
handle of horn or some such substance
Doctors say the child was three or four
wears old and little girl, whose hair
was golden, to Judge from the strands,
which, catching in the inner wood of
the trunk, became imbedded in it, and
which to-day remain.
The mother, probably, having her
child killed in her arms, instinctively
Shrinking from thoughts of the mutila-
ton that beloved little form would sut-
fer at the hands of the shrieking fiends
on their track, had bethought her, as
she passed it, of the old apple tree, the
secret of whose cavity she knew, had
thrust the little dead thing within, hop
ing to return if she succeeded in elud-
ing the Indians to give the child chris;
tian burial. BIT she herself had in all
probability gone but few steps on ere
an arrow pierced some vital spot, or
tomahawk had given her the same
fate her child had met.-Phttddetphaa

Grand Canon Of Colorado River.

On the Santa Fe route, in northern
Arizona, 1852 miles from Kansas City, is
the town of Flagstaff. A tri-weekly stage
line runs from Flagstaff to the Grand
Canon of the Colorado river. More than
a mile in depth, this is the sublimest of
gorges--a Titan of chasms. Twenty
Yosemites might be hidden unseen below,
and Niagara would look scarcely larger
than brook.
Don't fail to visit this first wonder of
the world. You can tread up" about it by
asking G. L. Nicholson, G. P. & 7. A., A.
I. & s. F. r. R. Co., Topeka, Kas, to mail
you free copy of an illustrated book
describing this terra incognita. The book
is no common affair; but is entertainingly
written, beautifully illustrated and gem
of the printers art.

AT THE SIGN OF THE SKULL.

A strange old tavern have seen.
The walls are thick, the garden green.
TITS damp and foul, yet through the door
Do rich men come as well as poor.
They come By night, and they come by day,
And never guest Is turned away.
The landlord, an unwholesome fellow,
Has complexion white and yellow.
And though he looks exceedingly thin
Does nothing else but grin and grin
At all his guests, who, after awhile,
Begin to initiate his smile.
The guests are fearful sight to see,
Though some are people of high degree,
For no one asks when O carriage arrives
A decent account of the inmates lives,
But holy virgins and men of sin
Sleep cheek by jowl in this careless inn.
And beautiful youths in their strength and
pride
Have taken beds by leper's side.
But all sleep we'll, and it never was said
That any kind of complaint was made.
For all the people who pass that way
Appear to intend q heightened stay.
The house has singular bill of fare
Nothing dainty, nothing rare,
But only one dish, and that dish meat,
Which never guest was known to eat.
Night and day the meal goes on,
And the guests themselves are fed upon!
These merry guests arc all of them bound
To land far off, but never found
That any one knew when he should start,
Or wished from this pleasant house to part.
o strange old tavern, with garden green
In every town Its walls arc seen.
Now the question has often been asked Of me
Is it really as bad as it seems to be?
Theodore c. Williams in Century.
