Character sketch of One OF the Most
Noted Men Among the Indians.
Quanah Parker, chief Of the Conan
che Indians, Is a celebrated character
of the southwest. The walls Of the
chieftain's house are decked with
pictures, among them being u fine oil
painting of the chiefs mother. She
was white woman, taken captive
when u child, during one of the raids
made down in Texas by the Conan
ches many years ago. She grew up as
one Of the wild Indians, and finally
married an Indian Of the tribe. When
Quanah was quite q little fellow the
whites recaptured his mother and car
Tied her back to her friends and sur
roundings. But she had been so long
with her Indian captOrs that she had
imbibed their spirit, and begged TO be
taken back to her wild Indian home.
This they would not do, and she act
ually died Of a broken heart. With her
dying breath she besOught them TO Yet
her go back to her Indian husband and
child.
We had the pleasure of taking dill
ner with Quanah's wives. We were
treated most h ,spitably Half Of the
table was set in white mans way"
while the other was devoted to In
dian style. The cooking was all done
by two OF three Of the wives We had
steak, while they had "jerked beef"
Boiled. Biscuits and good coffee, mo-
lasses and other nice victuals were fur
nished. 1t was quite amusing to see
high chair alongside of each wife,
with a papOOse in each one, and all
about the same age.
Quanah Parker is the shrewdest of
2n the shrewd COmanche Indians. He
will not drink anything stronger than
coffee, nor viii he gamble He is not a
believer in Indian superstitiOns, having
long since lost faith in rain gourds and
nedicine men, but he is polite enough
to keep up the show in order to hold
his influence with the more savage and
superstitiol!s of his race.-John Three.

Strange story Told OF n Man Who
Lived in EmnGhnm County, nli-
nOis.
II have q number of friends who
have shadowy recollectlons Of pre-
vious existence upon the earth," said
a theosophist to writer for the Pitts
burg Dispatch. You doubtless have
also had experiences when an indeflna-
BILE, vague remembrance of something
or somebody came to you which puz-
zled you and made you say, I'm sure
I've seen that before Yet you may
know positively that. as far as this
present existence is concerned, 1t was
impossible for you to have received
even an idea of the place or person.
l have often met people with whom
! became intimate at first sight. 1t
seems, as l have often told them, that
/ had known them for years. 1t was
only the other evening that / met
lady from San Francisco whose face
had been in my mind for years. AS
soon rs we met there seemed to be
something that drew us together. We
were as old friends. The most remark
able Instance ever heard Is that of
the daughter of Isaac Fulton. Twelve
years ago he resided in Ettingham
county, Ill. While there he buried 4
daughter named Maria. who was taken
away just as she was budding into wo-
manhood. About Il year later he re-
moved to Dakota. where he still re-
sides. About three years after his
daughters death he was blessed with
another little girl. who was christened
Nellie, it being the favOrite name of
his wife. When the little one became
old enough to talk she persisted in
calling herself Maria. She became
quite angry when told her name was
Nellie. She said the name belonged to
her, as her parents used to call her
Maria. A matter of business took Mr.
Fulton back to Eftingham county and
for company he took Nellie along.
The father was surprised at the in
tuitive knowledge the girl had Of the
place. She not only recognized the
old home, but many people she had
never seen. whom the first daughter
had been acquainted with. About a
mile from the home was school house
where Maria had gone to school. Lit

Of it to her father and expressed

her father took her out to the school
house. As soon as she was inside she
marched straight up to the desk her
sister had occupied and said: This Is
