speak the native tongues fluently and
learn English much more readily than
the Indians. The Choctaws have pre-
scribed the death penalty for an Indian
who marries a negro. Among the Cher

but the Greeks and Seminoles pay no at
tention to it,

Upham. ''Egad, I lost it in the fire, .
said the postmaster. IT haven't got q

now. y
Bill whipped Off his coat in a second.
'Take my coat, says he. tive got an
other at home. Take it, and when you
get through with il pass it along to
some other fellow that needs it. -
An hour later Governor Peck arrived
at Phillips, and the postmaster was tell
ing him how Bill Upham had made him
take and wear his coat, while he tBillJ
was going around in his shirt sleeves.
Eyes, that's just like Bill, said
Peck. He has probably given away
his shirt by this time. and his panta-
looms, and his shoes and socks Bill

chances are that by the time he gets

The Divorced Woman Did Not Feel Conn
Portable About Her Children.
The conversation took place at ta-
BILE in a Chicago restaurant within ear
shot of half dozen persons, 80 it is to
be presumed that it is not to be consid-
cred particularly sacred. The woman
in the brown dress had evidently just
come in from Denver. The one in black
had met her at the depot. There was an
animated description Of the details of
the journey; what time she started, how
tired she got, what terrible draft there
was and SO forth, interspersed with ex-
clamations of sympathy from her hear
or. Then she leaned forward and asked
with more than ordinary interest:
Have you seen George since?'
Her companion's g face took ON an ex-
preston that seemed to betoken resigna-
tion to all the evils the human race is
destined to come in contact with.
"Yes, twice." she answered m
'And the children?''
"No, haven't seen them"
Nor his wife?'
"No, but they say she is quite pretty
and sensible too"
The woman in brown sighed.
'I never heard word Of it until
about week ago. You can't imagine
what shock it gave me. He was mar
ried in December, wasn't he?'
"Yes, just o month after you were. /"
She sighed again.
"I'd like to see the children, but I'm
afraid couldn't bear it. It makes no
difference how good Georges new wife
is, she won't be like an own mother to
the poor little things. It's against all
reason, you know that. )"
The woman in black admitted that
the argument was indisputable.
"And I'd never feel right again." the
speaker continued, apparently giving
her conscience few affectionate little
pats and lulling it to rest. when /
left George, I tried to get the children
for myself; but, you see, had no idea
what should do. knew it would be
out of the question for me to try to
struggle along with all three of them.
! had faith enough in him to believe
that he would do the right thing by
them, even though my own life with
him had been q perpetual martyrdom.
If had only known that I should mar
ry again so soon and so we'll, nothing
On earth could ever have compelled me
to give them up. But, You see, I didn't
know. So, all things considered, Iguess
I'd better go right ON east. AS said,
it would be terrible trial to see them
under the charge OF somebody else and
hear them call another woman moth
er. It would break my heart. -
The two women finished their lunch
and went cut. The baldheaded man at
the end of the table dropped his fork
with clatter.
"Well," he said emphatically, sits
my opinion that those three children
are better off with that new mother If
she's anything short of a amazon than
they would be with that woman. Heaven
grant she won't be like their own
mother" @..s

WONDERFUL GOLD DISCOVERIES.
Western Australia Stories Which Read Like
Fairy Tales.

Western Australia Stories Which Read Like
Fairy Tales.
The stories of wonderful gold discov-
cries in western Australia were con-
firmed by an official dispatch Thursday.
The details of the principal find near
Coolgardie had already reached Lon
don. A party of six were returning from
an unsuccessful prospecting tour on May
s. When in camp one night, they sep
arated to test and examine the neigh
borhood. A man named Mills came TO
one of the many large elbows" which
are characteristic of the country. He
was astonished ON rubbing his hand
across protruding piece of stone to see
gold standing out prominently. He
knocked large piece off bowlder, and
at his feet lay magnificent specimen
literally studded with coarse gold, while
before him, dazzling his eyes, was a
magnificent reef of almost pure gold, a
fortune In itself. Mills, taking several
pieces from the reef, placed them in his
bosom, and carefully covering the reef
with earth found his mates On the
next morning 25 acres were pegged off,
and the adjoining blocks at each end
were also taken up. One man went to
town and bought dolly, the largest he
could procure In one day they dollied
1000 ounces, and in short time had
nearly 500, 900 worth of ore. On June
23 they packed it in cart and landed
the treasure at the Union bank. The
manager weighed the gold, and it turn
cd the scales at 4, $50 ounces
A few days after the discovery be-
came public. One lump has been taken
from the reef containing more gold than
ore. 1t weighed $40 POUNDS and is
worth $40, 900. Of course there is i'm,
mense excitement in the region, and
many other discoveries are reported, but
there is unlikely to be anything left for

French people, he continued, should
wishtto create monarchy, the emperor
might object that he had recognized
republic. The preliminaries were soon
settled, Napoleon signing for France,
thus placing himself on an equal foot
ing with the emperor of Austria. The
formal treaty known as Campo Formio
was signed in October, 1897, Austria
fulfilling the pledges she had already
given. The Austrian plenipotentiary
protested against the distribution Of the
provinces beyond the Adige Napoleon
was angered at this, and seizing vase

ing, and the treaty was signed. --Ex-

RosEBERRY's DANGER.
The Premier Determined to GO Down
Facing the Foe.


London, May 9.-The National Liberal
Club gave reception to the ministry
this evening. About every liberal and
radical of any reputation or influence
were among the 1850 persons present.
The speech of the evening was made by
the premier. The government had but a
narrow margin of supporters in the
House of Commons, Lord Roseberry said,
and certainly was in critical position.
IT was said that a considerable section of
the Irish party would vote to-mor-
row against the ministry. What,
however, had any section of Irish
men with the cause Of home rule
at heart to gain by putting the govern
ment in the minority? Such an ill-judgcd
policy might arise from a fit Of anger, but
there was no reason for anger between
the government and the Parnellite party.
Hear, hear
If, on the other hand, the blow should
be dealt in cold blood, the government
were determined to fight the battle to the
end. Whether the majority should be
twenty or ten or only two, the govern
ment would persevere cheers.
Sir William Harcourt, chancellor of the
exchequer, referred to the reports of his
illness. He asked if he looked like a dying
man, and added that he never consulted
doctors. He was not aware that he was
blind or half blind. He did not intend to
desert his post.
