4 Dog-Huntinr Enx.

a. r. Dodge, of Dexter, Me-, tells this
one: "The other day, coming down
Maplestreet, Isawa dog strike cross lots
from Park street. Some animal was in
pursuit AT first thought it was an
other dog; then it looked like large
eat; ultimately I saw that it was a fox
The dog was putting in his best licls,
yelping like mad, and the fox was hot
on his trail. With a final long-drawn
howl the dog reached the piazza of his
masters house and from that vantage
ground sat down, to watch his pursuer.
The fox stationed himself about six or
eight feet away, and the two sat eying
each other for some time. Finally the
door opened and the dog slipped inside.
Then the shed door was cautiously
opened, and by the aid OF the neighbors
the fox was driven into the shed and is
now n captive"

LOVES HIS TRIBE.
Romantic History of Chief Quanah
Parker, of the Comanches.

Romantic History of Chief Quanah
Parker, of the Comanches.
Chief Quanah Parker, the Comanche
Indian of Oklahoma, has n romantic
history,
His mother was a white woman who
was captured by the Comanches when a
small girl and grew up among the In
dams, forgetting her own tongue. When
Gen. Mckenzie raided the Comanches
and captured the tribe in 1874 Quanah
Parker's mother, who had been taken as
wife of the chief, was among the num-
ber.
All that she could remember to iden-
tify herself was her name-Cynthia
Ann Parker.
She was finally located as being from
Jackson county, Tex, where she was
joyously received by her family, after
having been looked upon as dead for
many years.
She took her son, now Chief Quanah
Parker, with her, and had him educated.
Later he returned to his tribe. He is
a tall, fne-loolsing Indian, but he shows
no trace of his white blood.
The favorite of his five wives always
accompanies hin on his journeys, as
does his young son, both of whom are
now in this city.
Chief Quanah Parker is quite rich
in cattle and money, and is looked upon
as one of the most intelligent of the
/ Indian chiefs.

Back in the time o. the long ago
Pack in the years that 're past an gone,
Down ir the village % So-an'-so-
Them was the days that | knowed jim

Saller an yaller O. skin was he,
Mouth like cellar an tall an slim;
Smile on his face that was good to see
That's a fair picture o. Barber Jim.
Tongue that was slick as his Shawn

Timber an long as his razor strop-
Set him gOin' and give him rope,
No tellin' when the blame scamp I'd
Cheeks that was wrinkled an drawed in

Bearin' Their burden o. navy plug
But a heart jest as white an as light, bv
As the latner he stirred in his Shawn

Ust to set down in his barber chair,
Cock up his feet on the winder ledge,
Spin you yarn-au' I'm here to swear
His wit was as keen as his razor's edge!
Then wen he'd finished yr ribs he'd
poke
Laughn' an' yellin' to split y'rears;
Bully good reason, his p'inted Joke
Was sharp as the p'ints O. his barber
SHEARS.
Where has he gone? Well, he made his
bow
Down in the city, an found home
Hope that he's pickin' up dollars now
Thicker'n teeth in his OF horn comb!
No bigger hearted man ever drawed
breath
Credit, be gosh! to his place o. birth
I'd feel mighty sorry TO hea O death
Shawn him off o the fac, o. the earth.
Some day r other Wen Jim Shawn dies

Hang out his sign in the vaul.ed skies

FOOTPRINTS IN THE STONE.
Discovery In a Los Angeles Park of
Great Interest to ArchaeoloEists.


Scientifcally-inclined persons in
southern California are pondering
deeply over the discovery, in Elysiar
park here, of distinct imprint in solid
stone of shoe worn by a human being
says the Los Angeles Herald. This dis
covery is certain to excite no little COM
ment, for there appears to be no authen-
tic record of n fossilized footprint of
human being of ordinary size having
been found heretofore. The peculiar
feature of this find is that the owner
of the foot wore n shoe of antique Mexi-
can fashion, with high, narrow heel
and broad, fat sole. The imprint Is
perfectly clear and looks as though the
owner had unwittingly put his right
foot into soft mud but day or two
ago and left his mark, to be dried by
the sun and preserved for future gen.
erations.
The fossil imprint was discovered by
laborers who were making n deep cut
for the new wagon road northwest of
the park. 1t was cut out of solid rock,
four feet or thereabouts below the sur
face soil. and from a point on the hill
side at least 20 feet above the bottom
of the little canyon at the hills base.
The stone is fine-grained shale, i'm
pregnated with lime. An interesting
fact in connection with the find is this:
Several other excellently preserved and
clearly defined organic remains,
such as ferns, leaves and twigs, have
been found in the same deposit, and,
stranger still, but few days ago the
complete outline of fish was taken
from the same stratum of stone not
many feet distant from this last find.
The fsh's remains were 20 feet below
the surface.

DOMESTIC TROUBLES
Ascribed as the Cause of the Insanity of
the Wagner Sisters.


Speaking of the three daughters of
Martin Wagner, of Waterford, who
were taken to the Athens State Hospi-
tai this week, the Beverly Dispatch
says:
The troubles which precipated this
sad and pathetic condition of the three
women, is some years standing, and OF
a domestic nature. TO enter into de-
tails would be impossible, as we'll as
unpleasant for their relatives.
The first trouble was divorce OF
Mrs. Miller from her husband some
years ago. About two years ago the
family purchased the Powers farm be-
low town. The farm was purchased by
the entire family, and considerabl
difficulty and trouble has resulted.
Mr.. Jonathan Wagner, an uncle to
the three women, lived with them until
several months ago, when he was driy-
en- from there, dying six days later of
pneumonia. This preyed upon their
minds and divided the family into fac
Iions' anu sluce LHdL time eacn ldctlon
has waged continual warfare on the
other.
AN aunt of the woman resides with
them and some months ago she was
afflicted in very peculiar manner such
as TO afford one faction an opportunity
of severely ceusuring the other.
The troubles combined have proved
upon the minds of the women, under
mining their nervous system until their
minds were unable to withstand the
strain longer"

ing in view of the renewed movement
for their direct annexation to this gov

tion is said to be very desirous of
bringing about. The tota! Americans
constitute less than three per cent.
of the whole and but q little over two
per cent. of the male population. They
are, however, in full possession of the
government, having thus been since
Queen Liliuokalani was deposed. Con-
sidering these facts, it is not strange
that they should be fearful lest such
power should be wrested from them
or at least be considerably more linn
tied than at present. Except for the
peculiar conditions that were undoubt-
edly made the most of at the time, this
absolute power could not have been
seized by such small minority. as Il
was, and it is remarkable that it has
been so long maintained.

THE POPULAR IDEA.
hut They Are Not All Innocent Men
Who Go tG Siberia.


Who Go to Siberia.
There is a popular idea that the
wastes of Siberia are peopled with men
who have been unjustly exiled from
Russia, and that the criminal is really
as difficult to find as the traditional
needle in the bunch of hay, says Tit
Bits Facts, however, do not substanti-
ate this theory any more than they do
the large majority of popular impress
sionS.
A great sensation was created two or
three years ago by the finding of seven
Russian eXiles or prisoners, who had
made their escape from Siberia. They
were in an open boat in the Pacific,
and were taken TO San Francisco, where
they became the objects of popular
commiseration, as well as the text for
the denouncing of the Russian methods
of dealing with political offenders.
The Californians, ever ready with
sympathy, gave them clothes and found
them work to do. 1t now appears that
during the interval that has elapsed be-
tween their arrival IN Sam Francisco
and now every one of them has been
punished by the law of the land. The
last of the party has just been sentenced
to 21 years imprisonment for burglary,
while one of his comrades only short
time ago was hanged for two murders
which he had committed.
Investigations which have been made
slow that every one of these men had
hean TO Si1Na,-io fr, VII; ;ol,
would have earned him corresponding
period of exile from the haunts of his
fellowmen if not absolute deportation
from the country in any other part of
the world.
