Alive Only to His Duty.

One day riot was apprehended
and Donzelot was sent to the Panth-
con to report the events in that quar-
ter. Already the stones were flying,
and the lawless mob had begun to tear
up the streets and barricade them.
One OF Donzelot's friends saw him
as he was running by and said to him:
What are you doing here? Run and
save YOURSELF"
Donzelot made no reply, and again
his friend urged him to leave SO dan
ge-oug spot.
Il am not going to move" he said;
but as you are going, kindly take
this copy along with you to the paper;
you will save me time.
An hour passed and the disorder was
at its height The mob had already
begun to clash seriously with the au-
thorities Suddenly the Garde Ma
tionale fired volley, and Donzslot
fell, his breast pierced by bullet. A
surgeon rushed up to him.
Are you hurt?" he asked.
Yes" replied Donzelot, seriously

Never mind your pencil" returned
the surgeon. sharply. The question
is to save your life"

her indignation and feverish In her
anxiety to have the mystery solved.
and the average detective would have
reasoned that she rather overdid It,
Four days later another stateroom
was entered and more jewelry taken,
and right in the midst OF the sensation
lady missed pair OF diamond ear
rings which she had put out to clean.
There was an indignation meeting in
the cabin and several ersons male
speeches and introduced resolutions,
and the captain found his position a
most embarrassing one. 1t was finally
decided to hold all the passengers and
servants together on deck while q
search was made of every stateroom.
This search was most thorough and eS-
haustive, but not one of the missing
valuables was discovered. 1t was,
however, the last theft committed, per-
haps because every lady turned over
her last ring to the purser for safe
keeping. The remainder of the voyage
was anything but comfortable, as every
one felt that he might be under sus-
plcion, and there were very few fare
wells exchanged at the parting.

the accused. The instant l saw him

his sister hadn't come out to India on
the Malabar. He laughed heartily at
the question, but did not answer it un-
TIL he found that there was evidence
enough to send him to prison for
long term. Then he explained that he
was Miss Judson herself Not only that
but he was Lacy. He had often es-
capped the police In the disguise of a
female, being small of stature and
beardless, and had started for India
under their noses. AS to the robbaries
aboard, | laid them at his door and he
smiled In reply. He was the thief,
without doubt. No wonder he had
plucked us of our cash at cards, TOR no
was notorious sharp. That he did
not rope in others and also steal more
was more the fault of circumstances
than his own. He went to prison for
10 years and died there after half his
sentence had expired. A year before
his death he escaped, donned female
attire again and when captured was
found serving in an aristocratic family
as ladys maid.

West Virginia named after him, and
romances have been written whose he

Montana has a man now living
whose career has been something like
that OF Wetzel. He has not probably
Killed as many Indians, but that has
not been his fault. He Is said to have
siam at least forty redskins, and he
| h. not been particular what tribe they
belonged to or where they were. He
has taken as great risks in killing Iu-
dams as Wetzel ever did. The reason
| OF his hatred for the whole Indian race
was the killing Of favorite brother

Flegans He was a good shot and
used Winchester rife instead Of the
old muzzle-loaiing fiint-lock rifle that
Wetzel carried He is David War
cham of Fergus county.
81 have heard accounts of but two of
his battles, but no doubt a history of
others would be just as interesting.
He encountered FIVE bucks, evidently
on the warpath or horse stealing ex-
petition. He had not his gun with
him, but he went home, which was not
far off, and returned with It. He
sought a good spot and began firing.
The indians made fight, but he drop
ped them so fast that two started to
run away, but he was too swift for
them even, and every one was killed.
Another time he and pilgrim were
camping out, and in the night the In
dams stole both their horses. They
followed the Indians, who evidently
did not expect visit from them. They
| crept Up close to the camp and found
the horses tied at the camp. War.
CHAINS horse was a pet and whinnied
when 1t scented its master. The In
dams did not awake, and both horses
were taken away. They could not get
their own saddles. but got two old In
dian saddles, as being better than
riding bareback. Then they stamped
ed the Indian horses and drove them
toward Fort Benton. Passing a mar
row canon, Warcham told his compan-
ion to hurry along with the horses as
fast as he could and he would wait for
the Indians, seven in number, whom
they had seen coming afar of He
concealed himself as well as he could
and awaited their coming. When the
battle was over the seven Indians had
become good Indians, and Warcham
had not single scratch. After rest
Ing his horse he overlook his COM
panion, who was nearly scared to death
and almost worn out with the old sad
die. They rested, not fearing any
danger and rode lsisurely into Fort
Benton, where they sold their stock
and remained until they had recruited.
1t is related that neither was able to
sit down for week after arriving in
the town
"W2rcham, even to this day, when
be sees an Indian, fires up, crashes his
teeth, and regrets that he has not his
gun 'ith him. He has never killed
any women or children, but those who
know him best are certain that few
indians have ever met him on the
plains and gone away alive. He is
now in the Vigor of life, between
IS and SO years old, and is regarded
by all his neighbors as one OF the
State's best citizens. But he can't
conceal, and doesn't try to conceal, his
extreme hatred OF all Indians"

INDIANS THEIR GAME
TWO MEN WHOSE SOLE DELIGHT
WAS TO KILL RED MEN.

Only Regretted Lost Opportunity to
Garry Out Their Desires Both Had
Relatives mastered By Indians and
They Never Forgavs Their Foes.
Lewis Wetzel, who lived in the
western part OF Virginia, became noted
RS an Indian fighter previous to and
during the Revolutionary war; re-
marked an old timer, who was in a
reminiscent mood. He was a large,
wiry, athletic man, who became an In
dian hunter because Indians had kill
ed all his nearest kindred in their
raids into the settlements OF western
Virginia. He possessed a frame that
1t seemed impossible to tire, and he
was considered the best shot with a
rife In all that country. He killed
Indians out OF mere revenge. and he
not only killed them when on the war
path, but whenever he could engage
with them. He could load his rifle
running and therefore was a danger
Gus antagonist. He was one of the
few men of the West who could fire
at the edge of knife and cut the bull
let IN two every time at distance OF
ten yards. He enjoyed his prowess,
and when in the settlements he was
companionable man, but hunting In
dams he was morose and disagreeable,
and much preferred to be alone. 1t
Is said that he even killed Indian wo-
men and children, and it is well known
that he killed Indians who were am
bassadors to the whites on peaceful
errands. If he ever saw an Indian
that he did not kill 1t has not been re-
corded. In the upper Chic River cogG-
try his name has been handed down

PUMPKIN PIE.

/ love to see ripe pumpkins lying on
the ground,
'Twixt shocks OF corn and melon vines
meandering around;
There's something so delectably sugges.
tive in the sight
1t takes me back to boyhood days; my
heart swells with delight.
Then memory goes rushing back to
happy childhood hours,
And gets mixed up with gingerbread
and pie and cake and flowers;
There's nothing starts the moisture In
the mouth, or in the eye,
Like visions Of the luscious-the deli
cious-pumpkin pie.
There's dumplings, doughnuts pudding
popcorn and buckwheat cakes
With lasses on, and peach preserves,
and cookies grandma makes;
There's raisin cake, with frosting on,
in tints to catch the eye;
But 'mongst them all there's nothing
quite comes up to pumpkin pie.

LOST IN A CORN FIELD.
Searched Through Forty-sight Square
Miles for a Stray Child.


Eastern people have but faint Idea
Of the vastness of Nebraska cornfields
and If is more than likely that COM
paratively few Nebraskans realize that
the States cornfields are often to be
measured by square miles instead OF
acres.
III 1888 Nebraska had a bumper corn
crop. Fairfield, Clay county, was set in
the midst of the finest corn land in
the State. On the west side of the
town was corn field fully ten miles
long by six wide, broken here and
there by narrow roadwsys that mark
ed section lines. One evening word
was sent uptown that the three-year-
old boy OF family named Jackson
was lost in the field.
A hasty search of the outer limits
OF the field failed to reveal the boy,
and darkness soon came, followed BY a
heavy rain. BY o'clock twenty men
and boys, with half as many lanterns
and dozen torches, gathered about
the Jackson home to begin systemat.
ic search for the lost child. Each man
was assigned to the task Of covering
four rows Of corn, and then, 200
abreast, the little army started out in
the darkness, mud and rain. Hour
after hour they marched across that
mammoth field, but without finding
any trace Of the little fellow.
Reports from the house were to the
effect that the mother was rapidly
sinking, and that the recovery of the
baby would be her only salvation This
spurred the tired searchers to renew
ed efforts, and for another two hours
the search was prolonged.
few OF the Searchers dropped from
sheer exhaustion, but the ranks were
closed up. The first four miles of the
field were thoroughly covered by mid
night, but the child was not found. AT
midnight hasty lunch was partaken
OF by the searchers, and after a few
moments rest the search of the west
half OF the great field was begun.
About o'clock in the morning the
rapid firing Of revolver attracted the
attention OF the searchers.
"Hello!" came voice from out of
the darkness. seemingly a mile away.
Hello! there!" was the answer sent
back
fOr moment all was silent, and
then came shout that set the search
ers to cheering like mad. The voice
from the darkness said:
We've found the boy"
A young man belonging to the party
OF searchers had started down a little
road to cross back to the searching
party, and by the dim rays of his Ian
tern saw the lost boy sleeping quietly
in a patch Of weeds by the roadside,
His dirty face was tear-stained, his
bare legs cruelty cut by the corn blades
and his little frock was torn and filled
with burrs.
The boys mother clasped her babe
to her breast and tried to thank the
searcher., but tears choked her utter
ance. The father tried to thank them.
but he, too, failed. But the sight of
the mother straining her little one to
her bosom repaid tho weary searchers,
and with resounding cheers they dis,
persed.
1t may be many long years ere the
people of Fairfield forget that black
and stormy night when they searched

Geese have music in their toes-or

DEFECTIVE HEARING.
Possibly the Cause of Many OF the Rail-
road Accidents.

| road Accidents.
Professor Burkuer, in his lectures in
the clinic for ear diseases at Gottlngen
recently, referring to the numerous
railroad accidents which have occurred
In Germany OF late, said that II Is prob
able that many were due to imperfect
hearing on the part OF railroad employ
ees. While large classes OF employees
! have their vision tested periodically
and often also their hearing, yet deli
ciencies in hearing capacity occur
among them frequently which are not
detected by these examinations. Many
who suppose their hearings to be per-
fectly good, by careful testing are
found to have very serious defects. By
reason OF this general self-deeeption,
no faith should be put in a mans own
statement that he hears well with both
ears.
i The practical investigation of the
sense of hearing demands such a mas
terry of the various methods used as
can hardly be required from the ordi-
nary physician. The professor said a
great part of the trainmen, and partic-
ularly OF the enginemen, after rels-
lively short term Of service, no longer
possess normal hearing, though many
OF them may still be fit for service. Ar
adequate acuteness OF hearing is of the
greatest Importance, not only among
trainmen, but track guards and switch
men; these and others should have
good hearing in both ears. A man hard
OF hearing in one ear has great difficult
ty in determining from what direction
a sound comes. The safety of travel
ers and Of the employees themselves,
said the professor, requires that far
more attention be paid to the ears Of
railroad men.
