THE OLD GENERALS SCHEME.
Effective as an Indian Exterminator, but
Too MerciIess to Try.

Effective as an Indian Exterminator, but
Too MerciIess to Try.
"a good many years ago the Co
manche Indians used to harry and an
nov the people Of Texas by predatory
incursions pretty much, fancy, as the
Scottish highlanders did their brethren
who dwelt in less mountainous regions, .
said Colonel ALT Mason Of the Lone
Star State 1.-The Comanches, too, had
exactly the same purpose in view that
animated the adherents of Rob Roy
the lifting of cattle-and it would be
hard to say which made the greatest
success of the business, the sturdy free
hooters of Scotia or the copper hued
denizens of the American plains. The
Texans of course resented to the ut
most this conduct of the redskins, and
many brave paid the death penalty
for trying to get away with horses or
COWS that did not belong to him.
MANY a poor settler, too, in trying to
save his little homestead, fell victim
to the barbarous foe. Some unusually
cruel raids, in which number of white
women and little children were butch
cred, about the year 1859, in William
son county, not far from the state capt.
tai, caused the resentment of the people
to rise to boiling pitch, and vengeance
was sworn against the whole tribe OF
marauding red demons The affair was
SO ruthless in its atrocity that it came
very near being the cause of whole
sale slaughter of the Indians, which
could have scarcely been justified
1.-THE proposition came from one Of
the noted frontiersmen and Indian
fighters of that day, who has long since
crossed over the river, General Hender-
son. The old man advanced 1t coolly
and could with difficulty be persuaded
to abandon it. 1t was to invite, under
the guise of pretended friendship and
reconciliation, all the Comanches that
could be assembled in great scope OF
surrounding country to big barbecue,
where there was to be eating and drink
ing galore and a general smoking OF the
pipe of peace. 1t was to be grand
feast, especially in the roast beef part
of the menu, said beef to be artistioally
dressed with poison enough to kill every
son of a gun of an Indian that partook
of it Well, they wouldn't let the old
general carry out his scheme, and he
got very hot over 1t and to the day Of
his death cursed the sentimental fools
that interfered with his plans for reduc-
ing the Comanehe census w ashlng-
ton Post.

DREAM TRYsT.
The hreatha Of kissing nlght and day

The breaths Of kissing night and day
Were mingled in the eastern heaven
Throbbing with unheard melody,
Shook Lyra all Its star chord seven
When dusk shrank. cold and light trod shy.
And dawn's gray eyes were troubled gray
And souls went palely up the sky
And mine to Lucide.
There was no change in her sweet eyes
Since last l saw those sweet eyes shine;
There was no change in her deep heart
Since last that deep heart knocked at mine.
Her eyes were clear, her eyes we're Hopes
Wherein did ever come and go
The sparkle OF the fountain drops
From her sweet soul below
The chambers In the house of dreams
Are fed with 80 divine an air
That Times boar wings grow young therein,
And they who walk there are most fair.
joyed for one, joyed for her,
Who with the past meet grit about,
Where our last kiss still warns the air,
Nor can her eyes go out.

THEY ARE DEAD.
There was a man who never told a lio--

There was man who never told a lie
But he's dead
Never said it was wet when the weather was
Never said
He'd caught fish when he hadn't caught one,
Never said he'd done something that he hadn't
done,
Never scolded his wife, and never got mad
And wouldn't believe that the world was so
bad,
A respecter of men. a defender of woman,
Who believed the divine, and in that which
was human.
Meek as Moses-he never was understood.
And the poor man died Of being too good.
And he's dead.
There was a woman who never had gossiped
bit
She's dead, too
Who hated all scandal, nor listened toit.
She believed in mankind, took care of her cat,
Always turned a deaf ear to this story or that.
Never scolded her husband-she never had
one;
No sluggard was she, but rose with the sun.
Never whispered in meeting, didn't care for
bonnet
Or all Of the feathers that one could put on it;
Never sat with the choir nor sang the wrong
note;
Expressed no desire to lecture or vote.
For the poor soul was deaf as a post-also
dumb.
You might have called forever, and she
wouldn't have come.
And she's dead.

WE WERE PLAYMATEs.

Come, sit beside my fire with mel
A quarter of century
Has passed since we together sat,
Dear lips say, on the chimney mat
And watched the evening fire until
The sandman came our eyes to fill.
A quarter of century
How much this means to you and mel
To those whose love still helps us bear
Our daily burden, daily care,
But for whose words we might not know
That we were playmates long agol
So
Come, sit beside the fire with mel
And let us fancy II TO be
The selfsame fire that filed our eyes
With childish wonder and surprise
And watch II till we seem TO hear
The same old sandman drawing nearI
Forget this evening-for we can
The sober woman. serious man.
Revive. in all their simple JOY,
The laughing girl and careless boy,
That we may feel what others know
That we were playmates long agol

Coal Tar In Masonry.

The announcement is made in The
National Builder that what was at first
considered doubtful experiment-v1z,
the use of coal tar as means of render
ing masonry imperyious to water, espe-
cially in positions exposed to direct con-
tact with the latter-has proved prao-
tically valuable resort. Used as a coat
ing for masonry built up of very porous
stone tar renders it quite impervious,
even at depth of some 80 feet of wa
ter, and, according to the experience OF
those who have had much to do with
it. the article should be utilized in all
public buildings, particularly those de-
signed for the preservation of works of
art. the dissolving action of water, even
upon mortar of superior quality, being
well known; also the unfavorable effect
of the oxidation of water charged with
lime salts from the mortar. Two meth
DDS of using the tar are named-viz. IN
a boiling state in one or several layers,
this being suitable for surfaces exposed
to the air, or 1t may be made to flame
up before using. this being appropriate
to surfaces which have to be covered up

THE DREAMER.

When am sleeping in my bed,
The little people in my head
All sport and frolic, dance and play
AS they never DO by day.
They play at being king and queen
Or catching fairy folk unseen.
They act out giant, troll or gnome,
Or in far Afric's forests roam.
They go with Sindbad on his trips
Or take command OF pirate ships
And capture galleons OF Spain.
Pearl freighted, on the Spanish main.
Yet each one still pretends he's me.
While am sound asleep, you sec.
They play, run and shout and leap
And yet I'm lying fast asleep.
They have such jolly lots Of fun
And see such sightsi Yet never one
VIII wake me up that may go
10 share the joys that please them SO.
And if wake and try to hear.
Or at their frolics try to peer,
Then all the sly things In a trice
Are quiet and demure as mice.

One of the most fantastic Of birds is
the laughing owl Of Florida and some
other southern parts. He sits well up
in tree at night and emits series OF
loud, strange ha-has that sound like
half human laughter. The sound Is
sufficiently terrifying to a nervous
camper unacquainted with the habit OF
the bird, though less grewsome than the
unearthly call of the Chesapeake loon

the request, Bury them. :" The young
gentleman pocketed the money and had

his father the following note:
