BONES OF A DEPARTED RACE.
Found in Two Large Burial Places In Ne-
braska-Alen of Great Stature.

fOund IN Two Large Bufiai iAcSs Ao NO
braska-Men of Great Stature.
A farmer blowing near Calhoun, Neb..
recently turned up a human skull and
search revealed Il large number of
other skulls, besides bones. These
relics were those of powerful race,
and who they were is unknown. The
skulls are large, but the forehead IS
extremely low. An Omaha World-Her-
aid reporter visited the place, and
measurement was taken of one OF the
lower Jaws found and compared with
the dimensions taken OF one OF the
men on the field. The relics jaw was
found to be an inch larger each way.
in proportion. than that of the person
whose measurement had been taken.
although he was six feet three inches
in height, weighed nearly two hum
dred pounds and had unusually large
jaws. The measurement of the lower
maxillary found is as follows: Depth,
four inches; width OF the upper ex-
tremities. five and a half inches; width
inside measure from wisdom tooth to
wisdom tooth, two and u fourth inches;
total length of jaw, Ave and fourth
inches. The upper was fully as large,
while the teeth rescInbled those of
cow more than those of a human be-
ing. They were badly worn and would
go to show that the owner ate meat,
presumably buffalo, great deal. A
dentist when shown the teeth said that
they were much larger than any of
those of q white person living in this
age.
A theory advanced is that these are
the remains of some Mandan Indians,
who were the earliest settlers of this
part of the country, but were ulti-
mately extermipated by the Sioux.
The size of these bones would explode
this theory, however, as tse Mandans
were not large race. Another theory
is that they are, perhaps, the remains
of northwestern Indians who We're
killed by another tribe. This tribe
were large in stature. according to ira
dition, many being six feet and more
in height.
The reporter found about fifty feet
from the location of this trench an
other in which were buried the remains
of five grown persons and one infant.
A spade piled to the earth soon brought
to view the remains of six human
beings. These skulls were smaller
and not of such extraordinary think
ness as those exhumed from the first
trench. They also bore the appearance
of having lain in the ground for a longer
period. as they would crumble apart Of
their own weight, while those first dis
covered were in a fair state of preser-
vation. The cavities of the skulls had
become filed with dirt, and it was only
with great care in handling that a very
fair specimen was preserved. The
trench was only three feet square and
about two feet deep. In order to place
human body into so small grave it
must have been fearfully mutilated.
When found the arms were over the
head. while the tibia and fbia were
found under all. The skulls were
also found in different positions, some
being straight up and down, while 9th
crs were lying face up and some with
the face down.
No pottery, metal or the like was
found by which they could be classed
with the mound builders.

A DOG OF FRANCE.
He Was a Warrior Bold and at AusterIitz


He Was a Warrior Bold and at AusterIitz
Saved Standard.
The story of dog of France is told
in the Ontlook-a dog who became one
of the most loved of all the followers
OF Napoleon. He was shaggy dog,
whom the soldiers called Mustache.
and who. casting his lot with that of
the army. had followed it into Italy
Scarcely had the army reached Alex
andria when Mustache warned his COM
rades of night attack. his timely
waking saving, perhaps. the army. In
return the dogs name was inscribed
on the roll-bools OF his company. From
that day he was entitled to draw ra-
tions "a grcnadier's portion daily.
Moreover, the regiments barber was
ordered to comb Mustache at least once
Il week. 1t was not sinecure for the
barber, for not q member of the regi-
ment was greater fighter than the
dog. Once he was wounded in the
shoulder by a bayonet thrust. and once.
in the battle of Marengo, he lost an
ear. But every wound was dressed
by the companys surgeon, and every
new cannonading put Mustache on
his feet. Some years elapsed, and then
the dog reappeared at Austerlitz
He was in the midst of the fight The
company was hard pressed, and the
standard bearer was left alone-with
Mustache-among the dead and dying.
The Austrians were charging and at
shot the standard bearer fell The dog
and the flag were left behind together
Selling the tattered shred of tricolor
in his teeth. Mustache started across
the field. Leaping from the very feet
of the foe. who thought they had
gained the prize, on through shot. and

he reached the French lines, and
dropped at his comrades feet the

Mass on Mount blanc.

An interesting event in the history
of mountain climbing and in the rec
ord of Christianity as well was the re-
cent celebration OF mass on the summit
of Mount Blanc. This unique religious
venture was undertaken by Rev. Jean
Bonin, the parish priest Of ST. Didier,
who, with three companions, two of
them priests, and with three guides,
left Courmayeur in Piedmont, and
ascended the historic mountain, bear
ing with them an altar consecrated by
the archbishop of Turin for the pur-
pose. They started one Wednesday
evening, but were overtaken by bad
weather AMI compelled to pass the
night at the last shelter. The follow
ing day they reached the summit. cele-
brated mass, and returned to Cour-

"It costs considerably more to run a
farm than people imagine, remarked
a man TO g Boston Herald reporter.
"A man in support yacht. go off on
long crt. entertain literally, and
gain the reputation of being a hail Gel
low well met but oftentimes, it has
been asserted, the running of a farm
is still more costly. People as rule
labor under the impression that the
returns more than offset the outlay.
They figure that the owner raises
enough vegetables and fruit to last
him from year to year. and the fact
that he can enjoy homemade butter
is something not to 1e disregarded in
summing up the profit and loss
Now, that idea is entirely errone-
Gus which think can prove to your
satisfaction" Then settling himself
in his seat, the speaker went on to tell
of the agricultural experience of Will
liam NJ. Evarts. the famous New York
1arwyer. who has just celebrated his
golden wedding on his farm. He rea-
income of over fifty thousand dollars
yearly from his practice. He was also
the owner of the place at Windsor,
Vt, on which gang of men was con-
stantly employed.
On one occasion a lady, hearing Of
Mr.. Evarts' large income from his pro-
fession. exclaimed in the presenee Of
the attorneys wife: How rich they
must be- to which the latter replied
in a quiet manner: "You forget, mad.
an, that we own farm" 1t is also
related of the distinguished lawyer,
that. while entertaining a number ef
friends at his home one evening he
produced several bottles of champagne
and a quantity. of milk Turning TO
his guests he said, withouta semblance
of humor: Gentlemen. here Is some
milk from my farm, and here is some
wine. You can take your choice

"a Family Camp in the Rockies" is
pleasantly described in Outing. They
were family of nine. set down among
the rocks and sands and pines to begin
living. Nothing to sit on, sleep on, eat
on or cook on; no place to lay thing
down or hang it up; two miles from an
egg and SIX miles from safety pin"
During the first half hour l was ap-
pealed to for twine. tacks, button
hook, court plaster, a big needle. a
pencil, the vascline. spoon, the
measuring tape and wrapping paper,
any one of which might be in either
tray of any of the four trunks. or pos
sibly in one Of the six hand bags.
Before we had made any headway in
reducing the disorder we discovered
that we were all tremendously, fran
tically hungry; not surprising, since
we had been in the open air all the
morning and were then at an altitude
OF eight thousand feet above sea level.
The professor, in the zeal of starva-
tion. proceeded to explore sundry paper

The little province of Alsace has had
hard time in many respects since it
was conquered by the Germans, says
the Youths Companion. Livery possi-
BILE precaution is taken to guard
against any demonstration of the
French national spirit. and though the
children are allowed to learn the lam
guage Of their ancestors they are not
allowed to be taught it by French gov
ernesses. The following story shows
the extent to which the government
formerly carried on IT'S practice of
watching the people: A few years ago
little girl was seen playing with a
doll which was dressed in red, white
and blue. The suspicious of the off,
cials were aroused, for it certainly was
dreadful TO see the power of the Ger
man empire so badly threatened. The
child was tracked to its home and there
the officer found that the doll was a
present. He went Immediately to the
lady who had given it to the child and
obtained the address of the store where
the dangerous plaything was bought.
1t was a modest little place, but the
officer found it at last, and then dis
covered that the doll had been made
and dressed in Leipzig. This was a
surprise, but the matter did not end
here, for the manufacturer in Leipzig
was officially requested not to send
any more red, white and blue dolls to
AlSAce.

The physical hardships of the life Of
an actor under the present system arc
uncomfortable to most women for any
length Of time, writes modern society
actress in Ladies Home Journal.
There is scarcely a little town in
America that has not its opera house,
for the most part very pretty as to
auditorium and exterior, very bad as
to the quarters for the players. Many
a night l have dressed il little closet
of dressing room, heated to suffoca-
ton, and gone on a stage swept by a
cold draught. a word as to pay. 1t
has been said there is no better paid
profession" That is true of the mem
bers who have won sufficient reputa-
ton to insure them constant engage
ment at their own terms. But mean
time? In the first season one may cx-
pect from fifteen dollars to twenty five
dollars a week if one has good luck -"
Travelling expenses are paid. That
sounds enormous to the girl earning
five dollars 4 week at sewing or cham
Der worls-seems very good pay to the
tired teacher, and GNite brilliant for
tune to the young girl in her father
home with no knowledge whatever of
pecuniary matters. But the problem
is very simple. Each actor pays his
own hotel bills. The company is in
formed of the names and rates of all
the hotels in each town. One dollar
and a half per day is the lowest price
at which can be had comfortable beds
and sufficient food to sustain life.
Seven times one dollar and half is
ten dollars and a half. Nine dollars
and half out of a possible twenty
dollars for clothing and all extras, and
clothing means considerable when one
travels necessarily.
