was related to me by George Il. Dawson,
who breathed much easier after he had
again secured possession of his diamond
ring" said Tom Larrimore yesterday.
Dawson was counting a pretty country
girl, and on Sundays would drive out to her
fathers farm in buggy and take her out
riding. He was the proud possessor of n
$500 diamond ring, which he transferred to
his girls finger one Sunday morning rs
they started to a country church to attend
meeting.
1.-The ring was too large for her finger,
and somewhere on the road it slipped off
and was lost. Paterfamilias with other
members of the family followed with a
2-horse wagon, and all gave up the trip to
church and joined in the search for the dia-
mond, but the gem could not be found. 1t
was springtime, and the roads were very
soft, which allowed the wagon wheels to
become covered with the loamy soil. After
dinner tie boys were strolling around the
yard, and one Of them stopped at the wagon.
Taking out his pocketknife, he began cut
ting the mud on the wagon, when Off
dropped lump of dirt, displaying the dia-
mond ring sticking in its center. The ring
had fallen in thewagon track and had been
carried at least three miles incased in the

An Old Way of Sending Money.

J. w. Allen, an old merchant from
Sharpsburg, KY. who is in town buying
goods. said the other day apropos Of the
express robberies ont west;
Il remember distinctly when there was
no railroad from central Kentucky leading
to any of the large cities. We Travelled to
New York by stages, and it was a hazard
Gus thing The stages were frequently
waylaid, and the mails and passengers
robbed. I'll tell you how we used to send
money to New York to pay our bills. We
would get bills of a large denomination
and cut them into two parts. One part we
would send by the mail coach one day, and
within few days we would send the other
half by different route altogether. That
lessened the liability of losing the money,
for il only one-half of it was stolen the
money could be redeemed as long as we
held the remainder and receipt for thae
which was stolen. "-Cincinnati Enquirer

ADisflrured Painting.

While was in the gallery at the capitol
the other day my attention was called to
what seemed to me a very strange thing.
A bright, vivacious young lady was admir-
ing that massive picture which represents
the baptism Of Pocahontas, when she sud
denly uttered an exclamation of surprise
and pointed to one of the Indian characters.
''See that Indians foot" she said, point
ing to an aboriginal who was sitting down
intently watching the ceremony.
Keep quiet" continued the matron who
had accompanied her You are attracting
attention"
but look" persisted the young lady.
''The artist who painted that picture gave
that Indian six toes"
Against vigorous protestations the young
lady was led away. l examined the char
acter in question, and sure enough the art
ist had made of this particular poor Lo'' a
freak. One of the feet is dishgured by
sixth toe.-Washington News.

When animals steal, there is a selection
Of suitable objects. The dog or cat confine
themselves to food. There is, as a rule, no
boarding or hiding, but the food is used at
once. But in the stealing Of useless articles
practiced by magpies, rats and monkeys,
the method is often systematic, or at long
intervals boarding or hiding being the
rule This is a sort of kleptomania, perni-

Plankinton Standard: The man
who seeks and is given the confidence
Of a political party; who is sent to
the legislature under an implied
promise-one that is as solemn and
binding as though made in writing
and sealed with an oatll-that he will
votefor a certain measure is a cheat,
aye, a theft he declines to acquiesce.
In failing to vote for the measure
which he had given his word of
honor to vote for, he cheats the
county he is elected to represent, he
steals from the people their choice
for representation in the highest
body of the state. Such a man must
be corrupt. He is either corrupt or
an fmbecile. 1t is said, and we
believe with considerable truth, that
men of this character represented the
counties of Codington, Beadle and
Lake, in the house during the last
session of the legislature.

Relics of Ancient Peoples.

Wide interest is manifested in the
demolition of the famous mound in
Walnut grove, near Martins Ferry.
Ohio. The work of removal has
been in progress two weeks and at
least two more will he required. The
earth is used for street filling.
Human skeletons, skulls, bones, elk
antlers, implements, arrowheads,
spearheads, pale gray tlints, cupstones,
agricultural implements, granite
hammers, sinkers, perforated stones,
ETC., have been found. Some of the
skulls are twice the size of the skulls
of men of the present day. Under
one skull were thiry-two darts, all
fine specimens and pointing in one
direction. The farther into the
mound the workmen dig the more
interesting the relics become. 1t is
believed that hidden treasures will
yet be found. The major part of the
stones found are different from any
in the Ohio valley.
