A GOOD INDIAN.


He Hired "a Hcarse In Ills Savage Days
IN Which TO Take a Ride.
Jack Stllwell, so well known to Kansas
plainsmoY, IS now a sober aud well be-
havcd citlzcn at tho little town of Annr-
dnrko I'm oklahoma. Stillwcll got his first
famo by passing through the Indian lines
surrounding the position of Forsythe on
tho Aricaroe I'm 1868 and getting to Fort
Wallace for ro-enforcements. Later he
served through Clusters campaigns and
still later appeared as one Of the great
cards IN Bufinlo Bill's Wild West show.
When Oklahoma was opened to settlers,
Stillwell located nc El Reno, where for a
torn he was police judge. The lawlossness
In the territory took many Of her citizens
UP TO Wichita to tho sessions of the federal
court. When Jack Stillwell went up, tho
people Of Wichita usually knew that he
was there. He, with some Of his friends,
was i'm the habit of l~iveniIp up the town
by various kinds of frcakish sport.
On one occasion he hired q hearse and
they were going TO take a drive over town
when the undertaken learned that there
was no funeral and vetoed the thing just
as Jack WINS crawling into the body Of the
vehicle. Jack tried to argue that they
had paid for the use Of It and could rido in
it if they chose, but they had to give up
the ride.
One evening, after they had been in
town several days and were feeling tolera-
bly, good, Jack and some Of his friends
were walking down the street when they
came to bright, newly painted barber's
pole.
Jack sought out the proprietor, found
what the pole cost and bought it on the
spot. Then the crowd hoisted it on their
shoulders and went on down the street.
They had not gone far before they "met
up with n patrolman, who, thinking they
had, of course, stolen the pole, arrested
the crowd and took them to the city bas-
tile. There they put up a small cash bond
and were released until morning. When
morning came, they appeared for trial,
and JACK explained that the pole was his
and ho had paid for 10; that he was going
TO take it to Oklahoma, where the natives
had never seen a barber's pole, and It
would be an object Of curiosity and wonder.
Then hH sent for the barber from whom
he had purchased the pole, and the result
was that they were all released.
Whcreupon they shouldered their pole
and marched down the street again, to be
arrested by another policeman and brought
up DeiuIe OHo Juuee again AS sool as III"
judge saw them he ordered the officer TO
let them go. They started out in another
direction, only to be arrested for the third
time. In the end the chief Of police was
obliged TO issue q general order stating
that the pole belonged to Stillwell and he
should not be mole5ted. At the same time
he intimated to Jack that they had had
sport enough and it would be well for him
to take his pole and return TO his native
wilds. Guthrie Leader.

Several authors ut the end Of the six
tenth and beginning Of the seventeenth
century mention a man who had lost both
his eyes, but could see through his nose.
An account Of him is given In tho "Oocu-
lus Artihoialis T"eledioptrious" Of Joannis
znhn. 1t appears that he lived in the
country and had the misfortune to loso his
right eye when a child, and his left, when
somewhat older, by falling from q cherry
tree upon "a spike, which mutilated his
nose and check. After the wound had
healed he found that he could sec, through
the cavity Of his nose, not merely the day
light, but the oolors Of the flowers around
him. During the next five or six years he
learned to distinguish objects brought un-
der his nose. M. e. Douillot, a French
Psychologist, explains the phenomenon by
supposing that the membranes, and par
tioulnrly the retina at the base Of the eye,
were sound, and that an opening com
muniontlng with the nose permitted the
light to reach the retina through the nose.
It is well known that If light enters a dark
room by n narrow aperture &c Will form
IN image or picture on a screen there, and
something of the kind happened In the
dase Of the man who saw with his nose.

houses were more modern. more magnificent and
more attractive it held its own.
All this time. however, changes were occur
ing internally in the firm. Lorenzo died. and
To Charles Delmonioo and to Sro he left money
and opportunity Then Siro died, and to Charles
came the money and business Then, in 1881,
one day Charles DelmOnco wandered away
while his mind was clouded and ten days later
his body was found the Orange Mountains
under the snow and ice Then to his nephew.
Charles Crist, came the business. He took
his uncles name, and the old name Of Del
monico is perpetuated. 1t is Charles Crist Del
monico who is in charge Of the place to-day,
and who made the arrangements for the re-
mOval uptown.
The present Delmonico's while outstripping
everything in its day in the way Of appointment
and decoration, was soon eclipsed by the build

INDIANS WITH BILE EYES.
From The Ohio State Journal.

From The Ohio state Journal.
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 Of ethnolOgy have always been puzzled
to account for them There is tradition. how
ever. 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 substan-
ta than 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 con-
quer this people. Nomnay. indeed. they are
under Mexican rule, but really they are gov
erned by their chief. and whenever the
Mexican Government has interfered with them
they have taken up arms, getting the best OF
the scrimmage every time. Their nearest In
dian neighbors are the Yaquis, and these two
warike tribes have reciprocity down to a fine
point Each helps the other when the MeXicans
attack them.
The Mayas live principally by the chase, al
though they cultivate some corn and garden
truck The men large and we'll formed. and
some Of the women are remarkably handsome
blondes.
