INDIANS EXPLAIN THE MYSTERY.
How the MOtaves Explain the Divis-
ion of the Race.

me mystery surrounding the origin of
the Indian race is greatly enhanced by
listening to some OF the quaint legends.
Here is one of them, related by the older
men Of the Mojave tribe. says the Los
Angeles Herald
At the time OF the Mojave, the white
man, the negro and all other people lived
together with their god, MuIevelia, whose
mother was the earth and whose father
the heaven.
They were all supplied with food,
clothing and many luxuries Besides
these they had tools and all kinds of i'm
plements and machinery to work with.
Everything was manufactured, and es-
pecially matches.
zone day Mulevelia died, and all the
people excepting the Mojaves fled after,
looting the camps of everything they
could lay their hands on, not even leav-
ing match.
Here was pretty state of affairs, and
the dead god awaiting cremationI
''There seemed to be no other aIterna-
tive than to dispatch a messenger for a
spark from one Of the brilliant luminaries
of the upper region, and coyote was
sent to star for some fire.
After long time he returned without
success, and so hungry that he tried 20
eat up the dead god.
''Mastanho, the man, sat by rubbing
willow sticks together, and produced
fire, which they used in burning up Mule

After the cremation. which took
place somewhere near Fort Mohave, the
mountains at the foot of the canyon
parted, and the Colorado flowed through
and swept the ashes away.
"Mastanho now became chief and di-
vided the Indians into tribes, and gave
them their allotments of land"

GENERAL BUSINESS POINTERS.

Qtemized from Bradstreet's)
The money market continues extremely
dull at Boston.
Leaf tobacco IS active and sales large,
with satisfactory prices, are reported
from Louisville. Collections generally
are good.
Orders for spring dry goods, clothing
and shoes are being placed satisfactorily
at Chicago. but heavy buying is not gem
orally looked for.
There has been some business in iron at
Pittsburg, but the unsettled condition of
the steel market has had the effect of re-
taFding sales in that line.
General business does not improve at
Providence. The unsatisfactory condition
of wooden manufacturing is further en-
phasized by the suspension during the
current month of two Rhode Island con-
Germs engaged in the industry.
st. Louis reports that purchases OF
necessities are largely confined to sort
ing-up orders by mail. Pig iron and iron
and steel are quiet, without change of
prices, but considerable figuring IS going
on for next years business.
In other than groceries and some lead
ing staple lines, Cleyeland's jobbang busi-
ness continues light no general improve
ment being looked for until the orders
for spring deliveries set in, in which re-
spect one feeling Is a hopeful one.

mr.. Bellingham," said Miss Green
hurst, will you promise not to be
shocked II tell you something?"
How could be shocked at anything
you could tell me, Miss Greenhurst2".
replied Mr.. BeIIingham. "Surely you
would not tell me anything shocking"
well, them" the girl went on, with
little tremor in her voice, II am going
to tell you some of your thoughts
which you did not put into words when
you called several evenings ago."
Then you are a mind reader, are
you? But why did you not tell me
them"
TN explain that later. No, I am not
mind reader, in the ordinary sense of
that term. But still can tell you some
of the thoughts that passed through
your mind
Il shall be delighted 10 hear them,
I'm sure, Miss Greenhurst."

girl blushed as she spoke, you thought
that you loved me dearly, but that you
would never be able to screw your cour-
age up to the telling point. There"
she added, defiant, didn't you think
that?"
Yes, indeed, I did, and 1 do love you
dearly, Miss Greenhurst-Ethel Don't
you care little for me?"
WELL" she replied coyly, 'qf I were
utterly Indifferent to you, do you sup
pose I would have taken the trouble to
find out your thoughts, and, having
found them out, to repeat them to you,
they being of the nature 1 discovered
them to be2'
why, Of course not" replied the
happy young man, as a light began to
shine through his denseness. "Then
we are engaged, are WEI"
She nodded, and he put his arm
around her waist and they were very
happy.
After the lapse of few hours, Mr..
Bellingham said;
''Tell me, Ethel, how you read my
thoughts SO accurately?"
DO you remember that took a flash
light photograph of you, the other night,
with my new apparatus?"
II do, and remember that 1t was
while you " ere focusing the instrument
that I thought what you read with such
accuracy"
Yes, dear, that was the very object
of my taking your photograph"
How so, darling?"
1.-THE camera was one of those new
thought photographing instruments,
and had to walt until you went home
before I could develop the negative and
tell what you were thinking about,

II see, my darling. I thought you
seemed anxious for me to leave earlier
than usual that night"
Eyes, sweetheart. 1 was anxious to
see what you thought"
well, that was a very remarkable
experiment, wasn't it?"
Somewhat remarkable, but the up-to-
date girl has to have her wits about her

WANTS TO BUY THE OLD HOME

McKInIey's Bid for the Canton HOuao
Is Declined by Mrs. Hunter.
The McKinleys have been unable to
purchase the property they now occupy
from its owner, Mrs. George D. Harter,
says a dispatch from Canton, Ohio. Mr..
and Mrs Mckinley had hoped to obtain
it, and, had they succeeded, would have
kept it in condition for, immediate use
at any time when they should conclude
to leave Washington. The residence is
full of associations connected with the
first years of their married life, the birth
and death of their children, and the his
toric campaign for the presidency. The
Harters lived in the same house for many
years also, and have personal reasons for
desiring to retain 1t.
