the Mancelona Herald said: "Sheriff
Chaffee was one of the most popular
in hn
sition was marked by kindness and un-
seltishness. There was about him moth
ing of rashness or haste, no indecision,
no tendency to vacillate. Every quail
ity of his nature was strong, deliberate,
decisive. To him, friendship was
sacred and those who enjoyed that
friendship and had place in his affec-
tions, always found him true as steel
His proverbIal good nature, coupled
with his manly, unseltish way, made
him general iavorite."

Rock Pictures in Oregon.

W. B. Whittemore while in Alturas,
Oregon, recently discovered some re.
markable hieroglyphics about fifteen
miles northeast from the north end OF
Warner Valley on the edge OF what is
known as the "desert" in Lake Coun'
ty. Mr.. Whittemore says the hero.
glyphics had been cut with sharp in.
strument in the surface OF the hard
basaltic rock. They cover the face OF
the bluff for distance of about three
miles and consist OF pictures Of In
dians with bows, arrows and spears,
besides deer, antelope, dogs and
wolves, geese, ducks, swans and rep
tiles of various kinds. 1ntermingled
with these animals are characters
which, OF course. he could not de.
cipher. He says that the execution OF
the pictures was very good, and he Is
satisfied that it could not have been
the work of ordinary Indians.
Throughout the entire distance the
characters and pictures are in rows.
The Indians of the vicinity have no
knowledge of the meaning of the hero
glyph,cs or of the people who ages ago
chiselled them on the surface OF the
rocks. From the description given,
the picture writing bears close re :.
semblance to that found in Mexico and
Central America. If this supposition
is true, careful study might reveal
to the archeologist some insight into
the origin or wanderings of dead
and forgotten civilization. San Fran

Eggs Favored TO Order.

Thomas Hendricks, farmer in the
town of Lisle, N. Y, thinks he has
made discovery regarding poultry
and egg producing which will prove
valuable. Recently Mr.. Hendricks
sold quantity OF eggs to family in
Binghamton, who complained that
they were almost worthless owing to
strong taste of kerosene. He could
not account for this but when bakery
that he had been supplying refused to
receive any mole OF his goods for the
same reason he began an investiga-
ton.
He found that the chickens had
eaten quantity of corn left lying in
the vicinity OF two kerosene barrels.
This gave him an idea, and he began
to experiment. He confined three
hens in a coop and fed them on corn
that had been soaked over night in
water strongly tinctured with extract
of vanilla. The result was that the
eggs could not be eaten, but when
used in cooking impaired a delicate
flavor to the cake or pastry without
the use OF other favoring. He took
some of these eggs to the bakery,
where they we're tested and pro-
nounced superior to anything in the
favoring line.-New York Press.

SDider and Music.

At recent rehearsal OF the Apollo
Male Quartette of Coldwater, Mich, a
large spider came slowly down his
silken thread to about the height OF
the singers shoulders. where he hung
suspended for few minutes, then be.
gan to move up ard down in front OF
the music rack.
The second tenor, who was leading
the air, soon noticed that the move
ments of the spider corresponded with
the variations Of his voice, up and
down the scale, and in perfect time.
They then began q series OF expert
ments, and found that the spider
would ascend or descend about foot
for every octave and though the mel
ody was carried ever so lightly, and
the bassos thundered in their heaviest
tones, the insect could not be deceived,
but always followed the leading part
accurately and with the precision OF a
directors baton.
All kinds of songs, from "Down in
the Cornfeld" to "The Bridge" were
sung to test the ability OF this won
derful little being, and each time he
came out of the conflict not beat be-
hind. At last the four voices struck
an awful discord and instantly the
spider scurried up his improvised
metronome ana Disappeared Pitts

Irving Her in O SQuall.

A good story ls told of the late Cap.
tain II. B. Forbes, who was interested
in some seventy sail of fine vessels,
and who built many clippers for the
India and China trade before the
general application of steam. 1t seems
that while testing the sailing qualities
of a clipper schooner, she was struck
by squall in Boston Harbor, fell on
her side, filled with water, and went
down. Fortunately she had boat in
tow, which saved all hands. He would
not start sheet nor luff her into the
wind to prevent her being capsized !;
he was determined to know what she
could do in a squalI, even at the risk
of his life and the lives Of select
party of nautical friends he had with
him; and although this experiment.
may have been of interest to Captain
Forbes, it is doubtful whether his in.
vited guests relished their position.
Later she was raised without much
trouble and had her spars reduced.
For years afterwards she was famous
along the coast of China for her speed.

Died Protesting Innocence.

THOMASTON, Me-, Feb. &C. The famous
Chadbourne case OF dozen years ago has
been recalled by the death in the states
prison this week of Benjamin Chad
bourne, who, with his son, has
been undergoing life sentence for
the alleged killing Of Alvin Watson. The
elder Chadbourne was an honest, hard
working farmer, jovial and good-hearted.
His son and sons wife lived with him, and
rumor connected the latter's name with that
of Watson. In Chadbournes large
family was deaf mute who came
home one day showing signs OF NAL
treatment which he charged to Watson.
Chadburne started out to ''do up Watson,
but found only, so he claimed, the latter's
dead body, covered with 40 knife wounds.
The two Watsons, protesting their innocence
were sentenced to states prison for life. The
Doy was taken to school, where 1t was
hoped he might be educated and that his
statement might release the Chadbournes,
who were convicted on purely circumstan.
tial evidence. The boy was shortly after.
ward drowned, however. Benjamin Chad
bourne protested his innocence with hi;

Queer Customs of the Costa Ricans.

According to Harvey @. Lowrie, an
American engineer who has recently
spent several months in Costa Rica,
they have some peculiar customs
down there. The towns have no jaila,
but murderous are placed in the old
fashioned stocks, where they remain
until the authorities have time to
hang them. The dreadful weapon OF
the Spanish.American is met every
where in the country-the machete.
With it the native can cut his way
through the densest tropical under
brush, chop down trees, shave you,
open can OF beans, chop off your
head, or whittle toothpick. 1t is q

Dead Warriors Uncartled.

A Hagerstown Md dispatch to the
Washington Post states that few days
ago large Indian mound was opened
on o high rocky cliff on the Potomac
River in Washington County.
The mound contained the skeletons
OF five Indians, one of whom was a
warrior over six feet high. The In.
dians had been buried in circle face
downward, with their feet toward the
centre. Around the warriors neck
was necklace OF bears claws. A full
set of unblemished teeth was found in
each OF the skulls, which prove that
the Indians were not bothered with
bad teeth. 1t is thought the skele.
tons were of Indians of the Susque.

''All but two of the band fell on the

of the horse tethered at the camp and
started him out on the prairie. There

to go after the two Indians. He gall
loped down upon them, and when Mt
tie right distance away dropped them
both to the prairie with one shot from
his revolver. He kept on until he
caught the horse, and then as he rode
back halted by the two Comanches,
gave each of them shot to make sure
that he would remain good Indian,
and then rode back to the command.
"There were all sorts of plunder in
the Comanches camp, trophies of their
depredations. But the sight that
made my men wild with rage was the
eleven fresh scalps that we found
scalps of men and women and children.
After seeing these I think the soldiers
would have liked to kill the, Indians
over again. But they were already
dead-we had made quick and clean

to be done but return to quarters

daybreak and killed eight, fighting.
