AN UNKNOWN GRAVE.
The Little Emigrsnt's Last Resting Place
on the Platte.

On the north fork of the Platte river,
with the blue mountains OF Colorado in
sight To the west. we made camp one
afternoon at an earlier hour than usu-
al. by and by. in our knocking around
for firewood. one of the men brought
in piece of board which was rotted at
one end, as it had been in the ground.
Wizard We git ito" queried Old Bill,
who was by all odds the toughest,
toughest and most uncouth man in the
party, and who no man had ever heard
speak kind word to any living thing.
Over there, was the reply, as the
man addressed pointed over his Shout
der.
spot. There was a grave there-the
gave of a child. We found it
only after the dead grass and weeds
of a dozen winters, perhaps, had
been cleared away. The board had
stood at its head once-how long ago
il was placed there no one could say.
Some emigrant train had halted just
here, and here some emigrant's child
had breathed its last. They had dug a
grave for it in this deSolate spot, heaped
stones over the fresh earth that the
wolves might not uncover the little
form. and the grief-stricken father had
marked the spot as best he could.
No knife had touched the board. The
emigrant train would not wait for
that. We looked it over and over and
brushed away the stains and the mill
dew but there was neither date nor
name. Ofwhat use? For every mile of
the old trails to the far west there is a
nameless and forgotten grave, remem-
bered only by God.
What are You going to do?'
So we asked of the rough old man as
he returned to the wagon for shovel
He made no reply. but used the
shovel to heap up the sunken grave and
pat down the earth. There were vines
and flowers growing near. He trans
planted until the fresh earth was al
most hidden from sight, and he carried
water from the river to give them root.
After supper. as we smoked and talked.
he brought from his wagon a thick
board and spent his hours in cutting
the epitaph;

The concerts in themselves are always
great attraction for lovers of martial
music. and great crowds of Germans are
constantly drawn TO the daily concerts
in these villages.
In the immediate neighborhood of
the German villages are the Turkish
mosques and bazars in which are
faithfully portrayed the different
phases of life i'm the oriental cities.
Regularly every day. at stated inter-
walls of about two hours. may be heard
the plaintive wall of the muezzin who
from his lofty perch on the mosque
calls his brethren to prayer
Not word of the invocation is dis
tinguishable; the chant is simply a
long, somewhat melodiOus and plain
lively quavering intonation. IL would
not become professional muezzin to
chant otherwise. lie continues on this
strain for several minutes - long
enough for wonderfully cosmopolitan

lrishman who volunteers the first criti-

Since the opening of the fair it has

portion of the general public.

what led them to the choice. The real.

through that wonderful avenue of mysl

pie of all lands, he will find himself
sadly deficient in information when
his friends in his distant home inquire
about the sights of the Plaisance of
which they have read so much.
While embraced in the general plan
of the fair and considered part and
parcel thereof. the enterprises of the
Plaisance are private, and partake
somewhat of the nature of side-shows.
Each one has a fixed price of admission,

kinds. and if this desire to possess the
curious and beautiful souvenirs on sale

the fair ground is the picturesque Blair
ney castle and its surrounding cottages,
which compose the interesting Irish in

Aberdeen. This is the only enterprise
in the Midway Plaisance not operated
and promoted for private gain. The
profits accrulng from this exhibit 90

making the people of Ireland self-sns-
tanning and for removing the faint OF
poverty from the Emerald isle. 1t is q
worthy enterprise, and presents some
very interesting and entertaining fea-
lures, among them being the celebrated
Blarney stone, which is set in an ex-
act reproduction of the historic castle.
The entrance to the village is a gem
of early Celtic architecture bearing over
the portal the words. 'Ccad Mile
