An Old Pioneer Gone.

After an illness which began during
the early part of last June, Henry Clay
Peterson, an old and highly esteemed
citizen of this county, passed peacefully
away last Tuesday morning in the pres
ence of his sorrowing family and in
innate neighbors.
Mr.. Peterson was born. In Williams
burg, Ohio, April 0, 1885. He was made
Mason in that town at the age of
twenty-one, and crossed the plains to
Colorado in 1859.
On locating at Fort Collins he took an
active part in organizing Fort Collins
lodge of Masons, of which he became
the first master. In company with
Captain Coon, also Of Collins, Mr.. Peter.

Nathan Mayer Rothschild, the third
son of the founder of the banking house,
who established the London branch at
the beginning Of the present century.
lived in fear of assassination for years
before his death. One day two tall.
dark men presented themselves at his
office. They bowed in response to his
bow, but said nothing. Their hands,
however, began to tumble in their pock-
cts. and the great banker instantly took
alarm. "Here are the long-expected
assassin<," he thought, and, Selling a
ledger, he hurled it at the two strangers
and shouted for assistance. When it
appeared that the two men were bank
'ers from another city, bearing letters of
introduction to him, for which they
were nervously hunting at the time Of
his unexpected onslaught, his mortifica-
ton knew no bounds. = Detroit Free

A DOGS CURIOUS ACTION.
Appeared to surmise That His Master
Had Been Hurt.

L. c. Meachamp, living above Homer,
La, on the edge of Arkansas, is great
hunter and has fine deer hound, Don,
of which he is justly proud. A few
days ago, says the Philadelphia Times,
Mr.. Meachamp was going squirrel
hunting. and in order 10 keep Dan at
home he was compelled TO tie him up.
The hound whined and begged, but,
finding his master was ohdurate, he at
last lay quite pcaceably before the ken
mel al! day.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, how
ever, when Mrs. Meachamp was he
ginning to look for her husbands re-
turn, Dan became SO unusually restless
that she went out to see what was he
matter. In spite of her repeated eff
forts shc could do nothing to pacify
him, and at last, to her utter astonish-
ment, he broke the rope and bouudtd
away over the fence and into the woods.
He was gone probably q half hour when
he came running back painting and all
most breathlcss with his magtcrs nnt
in his mouth.
Mrs. Meachainp became ut once
alarmed, and, calling hcr son, they set
out to find MeaehHmp, the dog all The

he had fallen in Il l.the ditch and

very moment Of lis occurrence seems
almost incredible, but the truth OF TINS

Literary Note.

A series of articles of unique interest

Home Journal. 1t is to be called Great
Personal Events" and will sketch the

thusiasm and thrilling historic interest
which have occurred in America during
the past fifty years. Each one will be
graphically detailed by an witness,
while leading artists have been en-
ployed to portray the events in pictures
made from old illustrative material.
The series has just been started in the
current number of the magazine, Hon.
A. Oakley Hall, ex-mayor of New York
City, sketching the scene "When Jenny
Lind Sang in Castle Garden" which
still stands as the greatest single con-
cert In the annals of American music.
Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher in the fol-
lowing issue will tell Of remarkable
scene in which her husband was the
central figure: when Mr.. Beecher
Sold Slaves in the Plymouth Pulpit y
Then Stephen Fiske will portray the
furore and excitement "When the
Prince of Wales was in America y
Parke Goodwin will follow this in sue
ceeding number with an account of the
unparalleled excitement in New York
"When Louis Kossuth Rode Up Broad
way" Hon. John Russell Young will
sketch "When Grant Went Around the
World" Mr.. Young being of General
Grants party. The great scene in the
senate chamber "When Henry Clay
Said Farewell to the Senate" will fol-
low. Lincoln will figure twice in the
series-6rst. in a description of "When
Lincoln was First Inaugurated," and,
