The Big Hat In Church

This is what happens to the man be-
hlnd the hat. The preacher disappears
until nothing remains but Il voice. And
with the hat standing against the spot
where the voice is, and the modulated
sentences breaking against it, how is
attention to be fixed upon the sermon?
The mind grows lax, the quiet and
sweetness of the sanctuary tend to dis
traction, the hat fills the whole yisi-
Die universe, and involuntarily ones
thoughts center upon it. 1t is q wonder
ful construction. There is yellow rose
trembling Oh long stem with every
movement of the wearers head, and ono

There are punches of feathers disposed

peared as if he had never been. The

ON THE LAVA BEDS.

In about the year 1912 there was
porn III one OF the most desolatc regions
of tho Union-the lava beds that ex-
tend from northern California into
southern Oregon-an Indian girl. Her
father was Sc Cot, an intractablo Modoc
subchief. who lost his life in M attack
on party of whites emigrating to tho
Pacific coast i'll 1850. Along about
1897, when adventurous white men,
seeking gold, began to penetrate the
Modoc lava bed region by the several
hundreds every year, there came that
way certain young Kcntuckian who
had been an army sergeant stationed at
the Preside, III San Francisco. He was
Frank Riddle. He had refreshments at
the miserable home of the squaw widow,
80 Cot, and soon took fancy to her
daughter, Wi-nc-ma, then 10 years old,
and famous iii that region as the best
Looking and most agreeable Indian girl
Ill California. Riddle got money in gold
mining i'll southern Oregon and soon
married the handsome Modoc girl The
compile took up their abode near the
gold dlggings, and the young wife be.
gan to learn her husbands language.
While she visited her savage brothers
and sisters occasionally and bore them
gifts she became weaned to the life and
thought of white people. But she never
dared, OH pain of assassination or poison
ing, to reveal her change of faith or ia
show that she really loved white man.
In 1860, when gold was discovered in
large quantities in the Klamath region
and thousands Of venturesomc Ameri-
cans rushed through northern California
and across the lava beds, the anger of
the Modocs was reused to fullest pitch
by the lawlessness of the invading
whites. In June, 1860, the Modocs lured
ii gold miners into narrow canyon,
and there, after unspeakable cruelties,
extending over two days, let the white
men die. The news of the murders by
the Modocs got abroad month later
and set ON fire the whole white popula-
ton of northern California and southern
icon.
