first mummy. Within the cave there was little or nothing to indi- cate what uses it had been put to- No implements or articles of domestic or other use, were found, and the party was about to descend when Neilsen, one of the guides ob- served that he "believed he would see what was in mound of sand near the rear of the cave" Pick and shovel were brought into acquisition and hard crust, nearly two feet thick, re- moved. Three feet of comparatively loose sand was then removed, when two immense slabs of granite, lying parallel and about three feet apart, were uncovered. The sand was re- moved from between these, and at depth of five feet below the level sur face, the mummifed body of man was uncovered. The body was entire ly enclosed in huge basket of woven yucca fiber and was in a sitting posi- tion. Over the head and shoulders was smaller basket woven tray of yucca stems and fiber, and the limbs which were drawn up against the trunk of the body and held there by cords were covered with a second tray Beneath these and drawn closely about the form was woven robe or blanket of yucca fiber and alternate strands of feathers and lion fur sewn to the fiber strands. The body, which is in won- derfully natural state of preservation, has the brown, parchment-lil1e look to be expected, and is that of a man ap- parently about fifty years of age. The dried flesh and skin which clings tight ly to the bones and the size of the lat ter show that in life the man, evident ly a chief or parsonage of some conse- quence, was one whom we would have called big handsome fellow.
 On the feet of all the bodies found were bound sandals of woven yucca, of different degrees of fineness of weav- ing, and the baskets and basket-work trays show knowledge of this branch of weaving not excelled by more mods ern worlmen. The trays found in the grave of the first body were of con- tinuous coiled work of yucca leaf stems one-fourth to one-half an inch in width, woven with fiber strands one-sixteenth of an inch thick. The commentators were in black, yellow and brown.
 A whistle or flute of bone-polished and carved to high, artistic degree holds high place among the relics, though the knack of making music upon it is not known to it's possessors. The chief deauvre of the collection, however, outside of the mummy, is magnificent robe of feathers and the
Birmingham age-herald., 1894-07-22

fur of the lion, wolf, mink, beaver and patterns. Its construction is ingeni- ous A two-strand rope of yucca fiber, hundreds of feet in length, was wound with the plumage of feathers stripped from the quill and narrow strips of fur. This rope of feathers and fur was then sewn together, doubling back and forth until the full length had been used or the required size reached. The robe is about five by eight feet and Is the only perfect speci- men of this work found. It was discov- cred in basket in the rear of cave house nearly two hundred feet above the bottom of the gorge. The collection also contains numerous other speci. mems of articles of workmanship and use of these people similar to those mentioned, but none fEe rare or of more than ordinary workmanship. Tho collection also contains a number of skulls, some of the cliff dwellers, show ing the back of the skull fattened, and others, the hair and scalp of which re- mains, the scalp being shaven on top, giving decided Chinese appearance to the head.
 The search which developed all these relies extended over D period of two months, and many days of hard work were rewarded with the find of noth- ing. Prof Lang intends making ad- ditional researches in the San Juan country and will forward his present collection and all additional discover ies to the Smithsonian institute at Washington.

 He did not recognize me; but the same benevolent and trustful expres- sion which had lured him before, strug- gled out through my sunburn, and drew him irresistably toward me. His large family of motherless babes had been miraculously increased by two since last we met, but it was still the first time that he had ever asked assist ance of 8 stranger.

 "Poor man, pity you. I am poor myself, but if you will come around the corner and watch me change fif- ty-dol1ar bill. will give you what can spafe."
 It was from the .purest and loftiest motives that I lied in this way. I wanted to show him that, after all, he wasn't much of a liar compared with some other men, in the hope that I might thereby discourage him, and perhaps drive him into an honester life.
 On the corner we met a policeman. seized the man with the elastic fami- ly firmly by the arm and said to the limb of the law:
 Here is sinful wretch who plays upon the charitable feelings of his fel- lows, thereby destroying their faith in humanity, and making business bad for the honest beggar."
 What" exclaimed the policeman, fixing terrifying gaze upon the cul- prit. Are youse at it again. Fearful Billy? How many times have Oi told youse to gitellouterhere?'
 He seized Fearful Billy by the collar and began to execute as fine job of club swinging as l ever remember to have seen. was distinctly of the opinion that if Fearful Billy iradve:- tantly sat down during the next two weeks. he would shed tears which he really needed in his business So I said: Hold on. This man may yet re- pent, and if so he will need the lower part of his back to rest on, after day of honest toll. Let up on him, for Heavens sake didn't mean to insti- gate murder" -----

He was man well calculated to in- spire confidence, and was an easy mark. had just bought ticket over the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad, and almost anything would naturally seem honest and fair to me after that.
 As I strolled out of the depot the man approached me. He said:
 Friend, IT hate to ask favor of 8 stranger, but-but--"
 His voice broke in a kind of sob
 Don't take it so hard" said I. Be lieve, me, sir, would rather ask fa- vor of 8 stranger than of most men I know: that is, if it was anything I really needed"
 ''No doubt you are right" he said. "You're man of the world can see that. You know men through and through"
 I was flattered. "Theres certainly something in this feilow," said to my self.
 "I want york;" he--continued. Ut doesn't matter what. I'm willing to do anything. I have five motherless children who, at this moment, are with out food. This is the first time in my life that have ever been out of work, but since the first day of June haven't had thing to do. can't get any thing. Pve tramped to-day from Har- lem to the Battery looking for work; and have failed"

 gave him the coin. He smiled gratefully and raised his hand as if calling down blessing from the office of the president of the railroad com pany, who was roasting just above our heads, and exercising an influence over the destinies of mankind which has the advantage of being commercial in its nature, so that we can all understand and believe in it, though we may not look higher.
 Then I reflected that ten cents might not procure very elaborate meal for a man and five children who hadn't had anything to eat since the. first of June so gave him quarter more, and ran for my train.
 l Two days later I was in the city again, and, in the very spot where had met the man with five children,
