the dog out of the wagon. III you
can," said the pedler, II will give you
every yard of silk there is in it,"
Lee said no more, but stepped back
a little and drew his under lip between
his teeth, which caused his wiry chin
whisker to project into the air in an
extraordinary and alarming manner.
Then he fixed his eyes sharply on the
dog, and slowly approached the ami
NAL.
The bulldog watched him for mo-
ment as if fascinated; but presently,
when Lee made a little dive at him,
the dog made a leap out of the wagon
and with series of terrified howls
bounded across the street, and
crouched there with his tail between
his legs, nor could his master induce
him to come, to him until the terrible
man had gone distance.

Real Courage.

All men have their own ideas OF
what constitutes courage. I believe
our fremen and some of our police
men are as heroic men as ever
breathed, but instances of true cour-
age are rare. The policeman is too
often the mere active principle of his
uniform and shield, his club and re-
volver. Firemen fight fire as ordinary
persons fight flies. 1t is second ma
ture. They brave danger so con-
tinually that it becomes mere routine,
utterly devoid Of excitement. A brave
man is he who, seeing fellow crea-
ture in the grasp Of death, goes to the
rescue. Those who brave the under.

enter yellow fever or cholera-rav.
aged district to nurse the helpless
victims Of either dread disease, who
throw themselves in front of a trolley
car to rescue a child from the very
jaws of death-they are the brave
people. Bravery, my brethren, is
homely. 1t does not lie in spectacu-
lar performances and theatrical stunts.
One of the bravest acts of recent days
occurred on the Brooklyn bridge, when
q man volunteeredto to be let down by a
rope to the bottom Of the tower we'll
to get the dead body ofhis companion.
The gases were killing, and the deed
nearly cost him his life. There's no
medal for such as he.--New York Sun.

VILLAGE BUILT BY PILFERINf.
Stolen Lumber Composes Eddington
Bend, Maine.

Eddington Bend, an incorporated
settlement in the town Of Eddington,
three miles above Bangor, on the Pc
nobscot River, bears remarkable dis
tinction in this vicinity; river men
say that it was built wholly Of stolen
lumber.
Above Bangor the river makes a
generous bend; above the bend there
have stood for more than fifty years
big mills i'll which logs from the Maine
forests have been sawed into lumber
and RATED below to the city for ship
ment to the South or for home con-
sumption. Besides filling up the bed
of the river with sawdust, these mills
have, from year to year, sent down a
good many stray boards, which, de-
tached from the RATS by the swift
current, have been borne into the ed
dy in the bend and lodged there.
The first mills in this locality were
established before 1910. Early in 1S45
the land about the bend was wholly
uncultivated and Unbiased. In the
summer saving the river men, going
up and down, saw single individual
at work upon the bank, and before
the snow blew down the valley there
had grown up on the river shore a
comfortable shanty, built wholly OF
fine, new boards. The mill men
laughed at the enterprise of the new.
conner; they enjoyed the way in which
he picked up their stray stock and
made it into a house.
But the enterprising settler was not
alone long. The rafters had carried
his fame. The story set other poor
but active men that way, and in two
years the bend contained six huts, al
built from the lumber cleaned from
the eddy in the river.
Since then the mill owners have
seen the aalf-dozen huts replaced by
more than a score of well-built dwell
ings, church and several shops. AL
though in the last fifty years so mucf
lumber has been consumed, thu
amount picked up in any one season
Is so insignificant that never yet hal
any owner seen fit to 60 in chase of hi
stray stock.
The bend is row the site of pros
porous little village, much frequentet
by Bangor folk. Some of its houses
and some of its occupants are of :
high and respectable class, but ever!
one of them is subject to the remark o
the mill men up river. The RESIDENT
Of the bend are named "the river rats

Hottest Place on Earth.

indians with Blue Ewes,

One of the mysteries of Mexico Is
presented by the Maya Indians, who
inhabit the Sierra Madre Mountains in
the lower part of Sonora. They have
fair skins, blue eyes and light hair,
and students in ethnology have always
been puzzled to account for them.
There is tradition, however, that
these Indians are the descendants of
the crew and passengers of a Swedish
vessel wrecked on the Mexican coast
centuries before Columbus discovered
the New World. But this tradition is
founded on nothing more substantial
than a folklore tale, current among
them that their ancestors came over
the big salt water hundreds of moons
ago.
The Mexicans have never been able
to conquer this people. Nominally, in
deed, they are under Mexican rule, but
really they are governed by their own
chief, and whenever the Mexican Gov
ernment has interfered with them they
have taken up arms, getting the best
of the scrimmage every time. Their
nearest Indian neighbors are the va
quis, and these two warlike tribes
have reciprocity down to a fine point.
Each helps the other when the Mexi-
cans attack them.
The Mayas live principally by the
chase, although they cultivate some
corn and garden truck. The men are
large and we'll formed, and some OF
the women are remarkably handsome
blondes.

Grinding Up a Whale.

There recently arrived at Liverpooi
the steamer Latona, whose captain re.
ports a remarkable occurrence in the
neighborhood of Demerara. His yes.
sci, which was going along smoothly
suddenly stopped. An examination OF
the screw propeller showed that big
fish had been caught in the aperture
in which the propeller worked. The
creature stuck out at each side at least
twenty-five feet in length. Captain
Gardener states that it lashed it's tai
tremendously, dashing the spray in all
directions, so that all attempts to gel
a rope around it proved abortive. Ar
attempt was made to cut the creatur,
in two with a sharpened spade affixed
to the END of spar, but owing to thu
rolling of the vessel this also failed
At length the captain ordered the engi
neer to set the propeller going slowly
to and fro. This he did, and at eaci
movement of the screw a noise like tn,
rending Of stout canvas was heard
The great fish was in effect being liter
ally sliced up, a great piece being
taken off 1t as each blade came around
After this had gone on for some mo
m6nts the engines were put on full
steam and for a moment all round
the stern bits of fish were flying in tn
air. At last the screw became free
and the last remnant of the great fisl
fell into the sea. Captain Gardener
declares the belief that the fish was +;

Thomas England, living near Rock
vile, Md, was found few mornings
ago in an unconscious condition a short
distance from his home.
Tho preceding night, while attending to
some duties about the farm, he was at
tackled and severely beaten and tortured
by four men in an effort TO compel him
to diVUlge the whereabouts of large
sum Of money which it was supposed he
had about the house. The assertion of
England that he had no money provoked
the men, who removed his shoes and
stockings and the clothing from his arms
Taking lighted paper they applied ii to
the exposed parts and to his ears, burn
ing him terribly. He was thrown into
an old house and leff in an unconscious
condition.
England was formerly a clerk in the

lice on the charge.

TROOPS KILL LYHCHERS.
Ohio State Malta Pour a Volley Into 9
Mob.
NEGRO FlEND HANGED.

The whole country viii be shocked by
The tragedy that occurred on Friday last
in Urbana. Ohio, where a negro was TAX
en- from the custody of the Sheriff and
executed 10y mob that hung the crimi-
nal to tree in the presence OF the multi
tude. Like tragedies have occurred in the
North at various times. bat m one that
we can recall has been so horribly thrill
ing in circumstance.
The victim of this tragedy was brutal
negro named Charles, alias "click"
Mitchell, who assaulted Mrs. Elizabeth
Gaumer, a highly respected woman ofthe
city, in so fiendish a manner that there
is little hope of her recovery. When ar
rested and brought before her she
promptly identified him and that sealed
his doom. One of the quietest of Ohio
communities, less than fifty miles from
the capital of the State, was at once
aroused to the highest point of lawless-
ness, and the officers of the law, hoping
to escape tragedy, dressed the prisoner in
uniform and conducted him TO the court
room at night where ne pleaded guilty TO
the crime and was sentenced TO twenty
years imprisonment in the penitentiary.
Ii was the intention of the officers of the
law to hasten him away TO the peniten-
tiary, but in the effort TO get him from
the court room the military companies,
called to maintain the peace. were unable
to protect the prisoner, and unfortunately
an order was given for the militia to fire
upon the mob, resulting in the immediate
death of two citizens and the more or less
serious wounding of eleven others. This
only added fuel on the flame, aud after
the prisoner had been safely conducted
to the jail the Mayor and Sheriff were
then broken down and the criminal first
beaten into insensibility and then hung
to tree on the street.
