Dewitt, at Kola's suggestion, removed
the revolver from the negatives, leaving
instead Mr.. Benton's index finger"
Admirable ideal" exclaimed the doc

the one who had killed him."
He seemed to be indicating each in

"Allen was the only one who gave
any outward show of weakness, re-
marked the doctor. "Ralph Benton said
he was i'll, and, to tell the truth, Allen
looks as IL he had been slapped in the
face by the grim monster himself"
If he is really i'll, this nights work
will come to naught," said the detect
i've. "Kola says he gives him the i'm
precision Of dying man. You may re-
call Aliens statement that he had had
q certain DR.. Burton with him the
night Of the murder. You remember he
refused to give me his address. Well,
Kola found doctor of that name who
acknowledged he knew Allen quite
we'll; but, ON being questioned. he re-
fused to talk, saying he made a habit Of
not speaking Of his patients to stran-
gers"
He was right" said Lampkin. IA

For few minutes both men were

murder?" he ventured.

but know now that it belonged to New

nothing but my chin afioat. A most
important step was made tonight in
clearing away Ralph Benton's part il
the matter. I breathe freer now and
can use him to further my investiga'

Persons Who Walk on Water,

United States Consul Hugh Long, at
NoSales, Mexico, has furnished the State
department particulars of the supposed
murder of a party of Americans, headed
by Captain Porter, by the Seris Indians,
on Tiburon island, in the Gulf of Cali
fornia. The Consul says the island of
Tiburon is one Of the largest and most
picturesque in the Gulf of California,
and is peOpled by most remarkable
tribe Of Indians, who are noted for their
large size and extraordinary athletics
on land and water. Those who have wit
messed their Aquatic sports at a re-
spectful distance declare that many of
them can actually walk, or rather run,
upon the water with no other assist
ancc than broad rawhide shoes They
are, writes the Consul, expert fishermen
and huntsmen, having rigid ideas as
to the maintenance Of game preserves
on the island and limiting the killing
Of game under severe penalties. They
destroy all children in infancy that are
malformed or appear to be lacking in
intelligence. In this way the standard
Of physical and mental conditions in
both sexes is kept very high.

Bear and Buffalo in Yellowstone Park.

Colonel S. NJ B. Young, acting super
intendent of the Yellowstone park, in
his annual report says there has been
a rapid increase of black bears within
the park limits and that complaints have
been made that bears have broken into
the stOrehOuses and destroyed meat and
other provisions in large quantities. It
Is a common occurrence to see from six
to twelve bears any afternoon feeding on
the garbage dumps within few hun
dred yards of the hotel. He recommends
that some Of the bears be disposed of
to geological gardens. He also says coy
otes are numerous and bold and kill
many young antelOpes.
Colonel Young estimates the number
OF buffaloes at twenty-fOur and that they
seem to be the only game which is not
increasing under government protection.
tie says he has consulted with DR.. Ba-
ker, superintendent of the national 10
illogical park, as to the practicability
aud advisability Of cOrraling the remain
ing buffalo in the park with a view TO
their preservation and increase, and that
their concurrent conclusion Is that 1t
has been the experience of most persons
engaged in the capture and domestica
tion of wild animals that, while the
young may be confined with successful
results, it is otherwise with adults

my brother Peboan (winterO reigns, and
7 will help him to strip these forests,
still these rivers and send the Icy blasts
flying over the great lakes and waters,
and the whirling, powdery snow drifting
high about the wigwams. It will be rare
sport to make my brother Seegwun
(spring) work till he sweats to repair
my mischief, and I'll be back to see him
at It."
Then, overcome with this labor of
thinking out things for himself, to
which he was not accustomed, and being
yet surfeited with the great feast of the
Medway, held in the month Of the Stur-
geOn, when all the fruits and grains, the
game and the fish, are most abundant
and delicious, the lazy sun god failed
to note the sly approach Of Wseng the
Spirit of Sleep, who with many hued
pinions came softly fluttering In the air
with a gentle browse of murmuring
noise which in time stole away the
senses of the Manito, and while not at
all meaning to linger, yet he drifted
away into peaceful sdumber. -.
Then, while he thus sleeps, summer
gayly tarries and flaunts her most vivid
colors in the face OF the stupid sun god;
the waters laugh softly, the winds mur-
mur in gentle undertone and all things
in nature conspire together to laugh at
and mock him, and yet so quietly as not
to disturb his slumbers. While he
dreams the smoke from his peace-pipe
fills the air--you see it resting there on
The far hills in purple haze, in the still
valleys, on the quiet waters, over all
the landscape like a shimmering veil.
And not till his mighty calumet is
smoked out to the very latest spark will
the fat and lazy Manito awaken.
This, then, Is the Indian summer

Special correspondence of the u. s..
Financial and Mercantile Examiner for
May /:
The methods OF business have been
completely revolutionized by the various
inventions which have been put out and
which are now part Of the Indispensable
requisites for the carrying on Of modern
business operations. The old slow-going
methods are being rapidly discarded, and
everything is pushed with lightning rap
idity. The writing machine Is taking Its
place along with the telegraph and tele-
phone as one Of the necessary modern
equipments for the rapid transaction Of
business, and It's commercial value de-
pends upon its ability to meet the In
creasing demand for greater speed, eff
cheney, durability and ease Of operation.
What satisfied the professional and busi-
ness world few years ago will not meet
the demand Of to-day. Every Improve
ment that human ingenuity can devise
must be utilized to aid the operator in
turning off the greatest amount OF per-
feet work with the least expenditure Of
time and effort. The invention and con-
structiOn of the Duplex Typewriter fully
meet all these requirements. 1t utilizes
all the capabilities of the operator by
permitting an even, continuous and sim
ultaneous movement Of both hands like
the rhythmic movement Of the hands on
the piano keyboard, permitting the con-
tinuous printing of two letters OF word
at the same instant instead Of but one.
This operation increases the speed so
considerably that 242 words minute has
been attained, which 10 over 100 words
more than is possible ON any other ma
chine, and enables the operator to write
from dlctatlon and saving the necessity
Of copying from shorthand notes. Three
years Of service has demonstrated the
pre-eminence OF the Duplex over all
other writing machines as the fastest
The Advocate and news., 1897-12-01
The Duplex Typewriter
The Fastest Typewriter in the World.

in the world, the most durable and cas-
lest to learn and operate. The arrange
ment of the mechanism Is such that
there are two centers or points OF con-
tact between type and paper, and the
alignment is so perfect that the letters
are equal to those printed on the print
ing press. The effective type stroke,
which Is producted In the most scientific
manner, enables the operator to achieve
marvellous results in manifolding, which
Is a great advantage. This machine
meets and satisfies the increasing de-
mand for typewriter where very rapid
work Is demanded and where writing
from rapid dictatiOn is required. 1t Is
the progressive mans ideal. 1t is manu-
featured by the Duplex Typewriter Co.,
of Des MOines, Iowa, the officers Of which
are we'll known reliable men OF excellent
business qualifications. They make also
the Jewett Typewriter, which Is single
center machine, embOdying all the me-
chanical advantages of the Duplex ex-
cept it's double features. 1t Is designed
for those who prefer cheaper machine
for use In offices where great speed Is
not specially In demand. 1t is the result
Of large practical experience, thoroughly
made In every detail, and Of the best
material. This, as we'll as the Duplex,
combines strength with prompt and easy
action. The use Of these machines Will
verify the claims made for them.
A recent visit to the factory in Des
MOines shows that they have one Of the
best equipped typewriter plants in the
country. Their orders are far in excess
Of their present capacity, but we learn
that they are rapidly increasing their
force. 1t looks good in these depressed
times to see q factory behind with It's
orders and running far in the night
Their typewriters go to all parts Of the
country, their largest trade being In the
Eastern States.
