Cara Murder Suspected.

Chicago, Dec. 0.-Evidence of start
ling nature, which indicates that n muir
der has been committed somewhere be-
tween Chicago and Denver on the Chi
cago and Alton road, was found on top
of the front truks of the Pullman sleeper
Miitadcs shortly after its arrival in Chi
cago. 1t was human foot. apparently
that of man, and long slender spike
penetrated the large toe. The foot,
which had been torn off above the ankle,
was bare and mutilatcd. Lgamcnts
which had been torn from the upper por-
ton of the limb and remained attached
TO the foot in ACKNOWLEDGMENT were
twisted about the blood stained trucks of
the sleeper. The police believe man
had been tied to the track. his feet spiked
to the ties and that he had then been
left to meet certain death under the
train. On this theory, inquiries are now
being made mt every point on the road
between Chicago and Denver.

spa-roYz ard a:or-o Eight.


While waiting fo- train at q
country station at Z very early hour
in the morning I became witness of
a novel encounter. which ended in
a tragedy. A small bit of cheese lay
on the ground not far from the plat
form, and quite large mouse
emerged from under the board side
walk, first to nibble at the tooth
some morsel and then to lug it into
it's hole, probably for the family
breakfast. Just as the mouse was
on the point of securing its morning
meal beyond peradventure gray
old sparrow swooped down from its
perch and seized the bit Of cheese
before the astonished mouse could
realize that its claim was disputed.
Nevertheless, the mouse held fast to
the bit of cheese, and the sparrow,
finding that he would be obliged to
drag rodent and all out of the hole
il he were to have square meal,
did so in great shape, for an English
descended sparrow is as strong as
he is ferocious.
The feathered pirate having sue
oeeded in pulling his antagonist and
the prize out to the open, let them
go, and rising many feet in the air
descended upon the mouse with
force, striking it on the head with
it's beal1 and on the sides with its
wings. The mouse was evidently
no fool. Knowing that if the rising
and falling tactics of its adversary
were continued it would be worsted,
it dropped the cheese and managed
to seize one Of the birds legs and
hold it fast. But the powerful wings
had full play, and in less than two
minutes the sparrow killed his rival,
and, taking the cheese in his mouth,
flew away with it. He left a few
drops of blood behind him, how
ever.-Exchange.

WATER LILIES.

HoH Eko yon water lily fair
Is my true love! In her find
Both il body and in mind
Spotless purity combined
With beauty rare.
Somewhat Ike q lily, too.
Am Z! All, now a merry cry
Bings from hez laughing lips. ''Fle, tel"
Get listen, sa1cy one, and
Will prove it true.
'Tf3 not for pow'r to charm or please,
'Tis not for comeliness Of face,
For purity like thine or grace.
God Knows have but little trace
OF such as thesel
But this Is why-though from her boat
White rigged upon the wators still
The lily dips and drinks at will.
That she can never qraf her I'LL
Is plain to note.
For when the feecy cloud Light whirls
The raindrops down her leaves unfold
Like sails and in her bosom S hold
She loves to store amid the gold
The dewy pearls
Though deep her roots like anchors trend
Where life and sustenance abide,
With water round. below, beside.
Her thirst unslaked, unsatisdcd,
Still knows no end
Thus, then, sweet lily love, am
& Like to this ever thirsting flower
The moro the love that thou dost shower
On me the more my will and power
To drink thee dry.
10 QUAR- of love, for maids and men
Doth seem, vow, but foolish waste;
The more the thirsty creatures taste
The greater Is their painting haste
To quaf again.

She Was Turning White.

A colored woman who has gradually
been turning white and who excited
the wonder of the medical profession
has Just died at tho Jackson County
Poor Farm, neal Kansas City. Hell
name was Jane Phase, but she was
commonly called Spotted jane" be-
cause her skin, Instead OF turning
white uniformly, changed in spots
from the deep black to a milky white
ness.
Several times in the first few years
of her stay at the poor house Jane
complained of an itching of the skin.
About two years ago this became
severe, and then, when nm examine
ton of her body was made by the
physician in attendance, it was found
that large spots OF her body had al
ready turned white. The case excited
much attention among the physicians
OF Kansas City. many of whom visited
tho poor house to examine the wom-
an.
Doctors who make a specially OF
skin diseases came from various parts
of the United States to examine her.
None could explain the phenomenon.
The change in her color seemed to
cause Jane no pain or worry and she
took it philosophically, rather pleased
than otherwise at her newly found i'm
portance. When she died she was
nearly white.
The only explanation given by ply
sicians Of the phenomenon is that the
disease or humor ofthe blood brought
on what Is known as lucocythenia.
The c~orpuscles of the blood which
underlie the pigments of the skin had
been SO thinned that the latter was
"washed ont" in places, leaving it OF
it's unnatural hue.
The pigments cause the only differ
ence in color Of the African and white
races. In the former, the pigments
nre very dark. which makes the black
hue show through the skin. 1t is sup
posed that the "washing away" OF
these pigments caused the strange
chanoe of color in James case,
