For example, in calculating the num-

n. A. Lindsey of this city writes as
follows concerning the subject mention
ed in the headline: ut is known to but
a limited few that John Eliot, the ia
mous preacher. linguist and Indian
apostle, was tho author Of the word
'mugwump.' Eliot was noted for his
pathological scholarship and linguistic
talent and as the only white man who
acquired a complete mastery OF the Al
gonquin dialect, which was spoken in
his day by the Indians of the Massachu-
sets Bay region. The word mugwump, ,
as it occurs in his translation Of the
Bible, has a meaning totally at variance
with Gun acceptation of the term, it be-
ing there used to designate a great chief
or captain, such as Gideon, Joab and
others, and not as a disgruntied parti-
san, as we apply it"
Since receiving the above I have ia
ken the trouble to look the matter up
and find that Brother Lindsey is right

pears three times in Genesis and Samuel

The court could not believe this

for endeavoring to palm off such a
falsehood for the truth. But she so
pertinaciously asserted her limo

made in her favor. One OF the Of

described by the mother. The gold

resume the position in which she
stood at her employer house. There
was then a breathless pause in court.
The baby soon discovered the bright
coins, eyed them for a moment,
smiled and then clutched them in its
fingers with a miser's cagerness. The
mother was at once acquitted.

Nov the General once Eecered Death n

General Mcclellan had the rcputa-

could act with quick wit and presence
of mind. The most critical moment
Of his life was WHOM he was con-
demned to death by an Indian coun-

engineer 90 errvcyiug thc Poetic

Vancouver he he'd gone south 20 the
Columbia river with two comIan-
ions, q soldier and a servant
One evening ne received word that
the chiefs Of the Columbia river
tribes desired to confer with him.
From the messengers manner he
suspected that the Indians meant
mischief. lie warned his compan-
ions that they must be ready to leave
camp at a moments notice. Mount
ing his horse, he rode boldly into the
Indian village.
About 30 chiefs were holding coun-
Gil. Mcclellan was led into tho cir
Gle and placed at the right hand Of
Saltese. He was familiar with the
Chinook jargon and could under
stand every word spoken in the coun-
Gil.
Saltese made known the grievance
Of the tribes. Two Indians had been
captured by a party of white pioneers
and hanged for theft Retaliation
for this outrage seemed Indispensable.
The chiefs pondered long, but had
little 70 say. Mcclellan had been on
friendly terms with them and was
not responsible for the forest execu-
tons. Still he was a white man, and
the chiefs had vowed vengeance
against tho race.
The council was prolonged for
hours before sentence vas passed,
and then Saltese, IN the name of the
head men Of the tribes, decreed that
Mcclellan should Immediately be put
to death in retaliation for the hang
ing Of the two Indian thieves.
Mcclellan had said nothing. He
had known that argument and pleas
for justice or mercy would be of no
avail. He had sat motionless, appar-
emily Indifferent to his fate. By his
~hstlessness he had thrown his cap
tors off their guard.
When the sentence was passed, he
acted like a fash. Flinging his left
arm around the neck of Saltese, he
whipped out his revolver and held it
close to the chiefs temple.
Revoke that sentence, or / shall
kin you this Instant" he cried, with
his fingers clicking tho trigger.
Il revoke itr' exclaimed Saltese,
fairly white from fear.
Il must have your word that 1 can
leave this council in safety"
You have the word Of Saltese, -
was the quick response.
Mcclellan knew how sacred was
the pledge which he had received.
The revolver was lowered. Saltese
was released from the embrace Of the
strong arm. Mcclellan strobe out of
the tent with his revolver in his hand.
Not a hand was raised against him.
He mounted his horse and rode to
his camp, where his two followers
were ready to spring into the saddle
and to escape from the villages.
He owed his life to his quickness
Of perception and to his accurate
knowledge Of Indian character

A quarter Of n cent Is a very small
sum In itself. but when multiplied
enough times the product is consider
able. q fact which railway managers
thoroughly understand. A saving Of
only / mill a day in the running Of a
locomotive amounts to 06i cents ia q
year, and with several thousand loco
motives the saving Is considerable.
The good superintendent today is the
man who makes these little savings
and tho number of ways IN which
they are done is astonishing. Take
the matter of starting 9 fire, for ex
ample. Most locomotives are fired
up with wood. and about an eighth
of a cord is necessary TO start a good
blaze.
Wood is pretty expensive fuel to
use for such purposes, and several
railways have begun to substitute
oil for it. The oil Is stored in a reser-
voir outside the roundhouse, and is
forced by compressed air through a
series Of fixed pipes to flexible pipes
near each locomotive stall. When it
is necessary to start a fire, a bed Of
coal is spread over the CRATE, some
old waste thrown on top Of It and
lighted, and then the oil is sprayed
into tho firebox through the flexible
pipes by the compressed air. II takes
just about as long to start a FIRE with
this apparatus as with wood, but
with the former the cost is only q
cents, while with wood it ranges
from II to 50 cents.-St. Louis Globe
