found Scanlan sitting with his face in

entrance did not disturb the one-time
favorite comedian, and even when he

The spectacle of the wasted, bent
figure of the man who had moved thou

his successor beyond his control. With
wet eyes he was about withdrawing,
when Scanlan started, lifted his head
and gaZed vacantly toward the visitor.
Mack stepped forward, called the un-
fortunate man by name and extended
his hand. But Scanlan remained mo-
tionless. For several seconds the two
stood gazing at one another. Then
Mack, in soft tone, began singing
Scanlan's famous lullaby. II do not

says Mack, in telling the story, but
l thought that possibly poor Scanlan
might recognize the music with which
he had soothed so many hearts. At

step toward me, and as l began the

at the head of the Spanish forces at
Limonar, twenty miles east of Matan-
zas, where he expects to be able to
strike at the insurgents. Thousands of
people from all parts of the country
around MatanZas are flocking in terror
into that city, according to the official
dispatches, but other reports say that
they are in the main offering to join
the insurgents, who are being plenti-
fully supplied with provisions by. the
inhabitants of all the towns along the
route they follow. At the little town
of Jacan, Santo Domingo, a squad Of
soldiers, under a captain and two lieu

AN INDIAN TRADITION.
Strange Tale of the Micmac Tribe
One Hundred Years Ago.


Forest and Stream.
A writer records this story, as told
by an Indian in camp:
:"'Bout one hundred years ago Mo-
hawks, came from Canada to make war
with Micmacs, and one band of Mo-
hawks found hut in bush, where Mic
mac Indian live with squaw and three
children. Nohawks look every which
way, and see that Micmac gone hunt
ing and nobody there 'cept squaw and
three children. They take them and
hide them in bush. Then Mohawks
hide leetle way from hut, and when
Micmac come back they catch him and
tie his n is. Then they all start back
to Canada.
And first night they camp Mohawk
chief he say, 4 always like little pig for
supper Then he take one Micmac
child and throw him on fire, and when
he cook they all eat him. And next
night they say same thing and they eat
mother child. And next night, when
mo- more children, Mohawk chief say,
L always like ole sow for supper.
Then they kill Micmac squaw and cook
and eat her.
HAfter that Micmac Indian very mad,
and he strong spirit go into him, so he
might punish Mohawlls. And when
lithey come to Mohawk village, in Can
/ ada. they all sit round with Micmac in
middle and put big pot Of oil on fire
to boil Micmac in it. Then Micmac
says to Mohawk chief: What very

you kill squaw; you no can fight man
like me- And Mohawk chief very mad

that spirit turn AK one side, so it hit

SHERIFF WILKINS FREED
YEARS OF SLAVERY, AND HOW
HE ESCAPED.
Talks About His Deliverer Daily
in Gratitude-Gains Fifteen
Pounds in Weight Since His
Rescue.

URBANA, Ohio.-(Spec.al) This
town is greatly exercised over the re-
markable rescue Of Sheriff r. p. Will
kins from one of the worst forms of
slavery known to man. He has now
fully recovered from the results of his
experience, and talks freely and CRATE
fully of his deliverer. In an interview
to-day he said: 'I have been perfect
slave to tobacco for over twenty-five
years; l smoked from twelve to fifteen
cigars a day. November 4th, last
bought my first box of No-To- Bac from
Anderson & Cramer l had little faith,
and to my great surprise, after using
part of the third box, | was completely
cured and did not have the least de-
sire for tobacco. To-day | feel better,
1 sleep better, think better, and l
have gained fifteen pounds In weight,
and there is not a day passes that |
do not recommend No-To-Bac to many
Of the tobacco users who | know are
destroying their lives and vitality by
the use of the weed"
Further investigation revealed the
fact that there are 500 people living in
this town and the surrounding country
who have been cured by No-To-Bac
Anderson & Cramer stated that they
were the first to start the good work
here. as Mr.. Anderson termed it. Yes,
we introduced No-To-Bac into this
town about three years ago. The de-
mand at the start was very light, the
folks had no faith in 1t, but we sold
to few people, and to our great as
tonishment every one reported a cure.
Since that time we have sold hundreds
of boxes, and every one under a guar
antee to cure or refund the money. and
strange as it may seem. we have never
had call to refund money"
No-To-Bac not only relieves the ner-
vous irritation and makes the use of
tobacco entirely unnecessary, but at
the same time builds up and fortifes
the general physical condition. AS
natural invigorator and stimulant we
believe there is no preparation In
America to equal It,
1.-THE public should be warned, how
ever, against the purchase of any of
the many limitations on the market as
the success of No-To- Bac has brought
forth host of .counterfeiters and imi-
tators. The genuine No-To-Bac Is
made by the Sterling Remedy Co., Chi
cago, Montreal and New York, and is
sold under a guarantee to cure by all
druggists, and every tablet has the
word No-To-Bac plainly stamped
thereon"

into Santa Clara province. This ru-
NOR stated in great detail that Gsn.
Campos, at the head OF the Spanish
forces, had succeeded in coming race
to face with Gomez and his forces at
the plantation of Coliseo, which was IN
flames. This plantation is situated
twelve miles from Cardenas and tWen-
ty-one miles from Mantanzas. Ihe
insurgents, it was said, were hemmed
in and were compelled to fight, all
retreat being cut off. Desperate en-
gagements took place, the COMBAT
ants being surrounded by the names
of the burning plantation. The 1nsur-
gents 1t is said, were dispersed, leaV-
ing 700 dead and wounded on the field.
The loss of troops, it was reported,
was but fourteen men. This report
had the effect of greatly restoring con-
fidence here.
EVIDENTLY UNTRUE.
The details of this engagement had
hardly become disseminated through
the city, however, before there came
a further report that the insurgents
were marching towards Guanabana
and that Gen. Campos had hastened
to that point to oppose the advance
| thus once more moving his headquar-
| ters westward and nearer Havana, as
he has had to do so often within the
last few days. Guanabana is only
about five miles out of Mantanzas,
and ten or fifteen miles west OF Coliseo
plantation. 1t became evident that the
reports of Gen. Campos' successful
stand and the rout of the insurgents
was either unfounded or that the
| force he had met was merely wing
| of the insurgent army, sent to make
| a diversion, while the main columns
pushed on to the westward. All is
| confusion of mind here, and the au-
| thorities are apparently all at sea as
| to what will be the next step of the
| insurgents, whether Mantanzas will be
besieged, or whether the advance on
that point is merely a feint to hold the
Spanish forces there while the insur-
gent forces keep on toward Havana
The near APPROACH of the insurgents tc
Mantanzas has, in fact, had the effect
of concentrating all the available
Spanish forces at that town.

1t is estimated that about 1900 peo-
pie were provided for yesterday by
the citizens committee, and while it

thought that this year this danger has
been minimized, and that very few

few who were deserving escaped the

allow themselves to be discovered in

Thus Minneapolis has every reason
to have a right merry Christmas this
