of Her Natal Day.
WAS TIE WIDOW OF AN INDIAN
And Became Such Through Taking the Life

WAS TIE WIDOW or AN INDIAN
Mrs. Harlan's Strange Life.

In ner lonely caDlN IN tne ron
da mountains in western Texas on
May 10 last there passed sway
Mrs. Sallie Harlan, who 100 years
before to day first saw the light
of day in Scott county, Ken
lucky. She had predicted that
the grim reaper would gather her
in the very day she reached the
century mark and her prophecy
proved correct.
An old ranger named Dick Joy
knew her more intimately than
anyone else and he says she was
absolutely fearless. lie tells her
life history, which he alone knows,
as follows:
Her father emigrated from
Kentucky to the Louisiana pos
sessions during the last war with
Great Britain. He finally drifted
to the frontier and settled on the
Trinity river.
A rowing band led by Iron
Eyes discovered his cabin and
after affecting great friendship
for year or more they murdered
all the family save young girl
SaIlie Harlan. She was taken
off by them. Her age at this
time was 10 years. Forced to
choose between an Indian hus-
band and death at the stake she
reluctantly chose the former and
married one of Iron Eyes band
Only few weeks after she we'd
ded the iron Eyes and Conan
ches met to negotiate treaty.
While the great chiefs were en-
gagged in holding long powwow
the younger and e,s noted war
liors passed the time in gambling
and feasting. When this affair
terminated she found she had
been won by a Comanche named
Red Deer and she had to go with
him. She lived with the Conan
ches five years.
One day Red Deer, who had up
to that time let her do as she
pleased and had been dubbed
"squaw man" by the other Indi-
ians, told her to perform some
disagreeable duty. The wife re-
fused, violent quarrel ensued
and with tomahawk she Drained
Red Deer. Realizing that death
of the most cruel kind would be
melted out to her she mounted
fleet mustang and sped across the
prairies, leaving her 3-year-old
son in camp. Outrunning her
pursuers she reached Austin's
settlement on the Colorado.
The widow would rarely enter
house and grieved constantly of
her little son. She eagerly ac-
companied the soldiers in all their
campaigns against her former
companions.
In one campaign she captured
her Comanche husbands brother
and learned from him that ne
son was alive. Determined to ge
him she disguised herself as
Comanche warrior and rode into
the village where her son lived.
1t did not take her long to recog-
nize her boy, who was now aged
1Oyears. AS soon as opportunity
presented she got the boy, named
White Eagle, off into the woods
and disclosed her identity. All
her pleading failed to arouse the
slightest emotion in the boys
breast. He coldly told her that
he did not believe a word of her
story and laughed at her tears.

A Trout Dinner.

The ladies of the M. E. church at

Our honored townsman, Charles K.
Buckalew, is no more. His death oc-
cured at his home on Fifth street last
Friday morning, about eight o'clock,
after a brief illness. On Monday
night he was found unconscious, and
though he afterwards recovered con-
sciousness, he was not rational, his
disease being pronounced to be con-
gestion of the brain. Though his re-
covery was scarcely expected, his
death was not looked for when it did
occur, and was shock to his family.
Mr.. Buckalew's age was II years,
months and 2I days. He was born
in Fishingcreek township, Columbia
county, Dec. aS, 1891. He was married
to Permelia Wadsworth, daughter of
Rev. E. Wadsworth, clergyman of
the M. E. Church, at Town Hill,
Luz. Co., Feb. IA, IS49. Mrs. Buck
alew survives him. They moved to
Bloomsbury soon after their marriage,
and have always resided here, except
when Mr.. Buckalew's public duties
called him away home. Two
children were born to them,
Warren J., member Of the Bar of
this county, who died some years ago,
and Alice NJ, wife of L. E. Waller,
Esq. Capt. J. M. Buckalew, of Fish
ingcreek township, brother OF the
deceased, survives him.
The funeral was held on Monday
afternoon at two o'clock, at the house,
the services being conducted by Rev.
DIR. Conner, of the M. E. Church, and
consisting of the beautiful ritual OF
that church. There was neither sing
ing nor funeral discourse. Many
beautiful floral offerings rested on and
near the casket. The pallbearers were
Col. 7. G.. Freeze, A. z. Schoch, J.
M. Clark, James Scarlet, Samuel Wig
fall and N. U. Funk. The carriages
were in charge of Frank Ikeler and
w. II. Slate.
The burial took place in Rosemont
Cemetery, and just as the town clock
tolled the hour of three, the mortal
remains OF an honored citizen, a dis
tinguished statesman, and an honest
man, were lowered forever from the
sight of those who had known ano
revered him in life.

Spider web Balloon Netting

Some ten years ago a French mis-
sionary started the systematic rearing
of two kinds of spiders for their web,
and the Board of Trade Journal
states that spider web factory is now
in successful operation at Chalais-
Meudon, near Paris, where ropes are
made of spider web intended for bal
looms for. the French military aero
nsutic section. The spiders are ar
ranged in groups of twelve about a
reel, upon which the threads are
wound. 1t is by no means easy work
for the spiders, for they are not re-
leased until they have furnished from
thirty to forty yards of thread each.
The web is washed, and thus freed
of the outer reddish and sticky cover.
Eight of the washed threads are
then taken together, and of this
rather strong yarn cords are woven,
which are stronger and much lighter
than cords of silk of the same thick
ness. These spider web ropes are
very much more expensive than silk
ones, but it is hoped to reduce their
cost somewhat in the future. Mature.

Athlete. Mako Poor soldIer..

An odd fact developed by the cam
paign of the Seventy first is this, at
least il seems to be established, that,
given equal hardships, men IN fine
athletic training suffer more than men
in ordinary condition. Statistics
show, in this regiment, that the run
ners, the jumpers, the crack bicycle
riders and the record men generally
we're reader fever victims than their
comrades and gave out sooner in the
emergencies OF the battlefield. There
was Sergeant Meeks, long-distance
runner, and club" Smith, bicycle
rider, and Siebold, a winner of run
ming races, and OFT, sprinter and
hurdler, and Private Meeks, another
bicycle rider, and Divannie, runner,
and so on through long list. Al
most without exception these fine ath-
letes fell into illness or utter collapse
with the first strain put upon them.
They made worse fever cases and
dysentery cases than the others, aud
it appeared to nurses and doctors as
beyond question that the thorough
physical training which these men
completed just before the war, in an
ticipation of the spring athletic games,
was a serious impairment of their
powers for resisting disease. 1t is
worthy of note, also, that most Of
these athletes INDUCED neither in
drink nor tobacco. .-Leslie's Weekly.

The Use of Potash.

All farmers know that of the three
chemical elements of the soil neces-
sary to plant growth, potash and
phospholic acid are the most expen-
sive to obtain. The average soil con-
tains considerable quantities of each
in an inert form requiring nitrogen to
liberate it and make it available as
plant food For this reason farmers
use legumes, mainly peas and crimson
clover, as the cheapest way of obtain
ing the needed nitrogen. When pot
ash, the most expensive of the chemi-
Gals, must be purchased the muriate
is cheaper than the sulphate and quite
as satisfactory. On most crops,
especially grains and fruits, one part
of muriate of potash and three parts
of bone meal will give good results,
increasing the bone meal two or three
parts if 1t be used exclusively for
grain crops. In lands where phos-
phoric acid is deficient, as it generally
is where dairying is the chief in
dustry, the formula of bone meal and
muriate of potash applied at the rate
of from $50 to 500 pounds to the acre,
using unleached stable manure to OBJ
tain the required nitrogen, will bring
the soil up to the normal condition
quickly.

NERVOUS DEPRESSION.
TALK WITH MRS. PINKHAM.

TALK WITH MRS. PINKHAM.
A woman With the blues is a very un-
comfortable person. She is illogical,
unhappy and frequently hysterical.
The condition of the mind known as
"the blues" nearly always, with wo-
men, results from diseased organs of
generation.
1t is source of wonder that in this
age of advanced medical science, any
person should still believe that mere
force of will and determination will
overcome depressed spirits and nerv-
BUSINESS in women. These troubles are
indications of disease.
Every woman who doesn't under
stand her condition should write to
Lynn, Mass, to Mrs. Pinlkham for her
advice. Her advice is thorough COM
mon sense. and is the counsel of a
learned woman of great experience.
Read the story of Mrs. F. S. BENNETT,
Westphalia, Kansas, as told in the fol-
lowing letter:
"DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:-I have suf-
fered for over two years with falling,
enlargement and liberation of the
womb, and this spring, being in such
q weakened condition, caused me to
flow for nearly six months. Some time
ago, urged by friends, / wrote to you
for advice. After using the treatment
which you advised for short time,
that terrible flow stopped.
81 am now gaining strength and
flesh, and have better health than l
have had for the past ten years. 1
wish to say to all distressed, suffer-
ing women, do not suffer longer, when
there is one SO kind and willing to
aid you"

Stronger Than Oak.

Foot bridges in Morocco that are
used for heavy traffic have been the
subject of much concern to the en-
gineers. Elm planks on oak string
pieces were the materials employed,
but these wore out so rapidly that a
return TO the old style of building was
proposed. This consisted of cables
made from tho fibre of the sloe. These
cables are plated and twisted from
fibre and are nearly two inches thick
and eight and one-half inches wide.
They are saturated with tar and firm
ly nailed to oak planking. The ends
are fastened by iron straps. These
cables are most admirable footpaths.
They are sufficiently elastic to be
pleasant under the feet. and expert
ence has demonstrated that they are
far more durable than anv material
heretofore applied for this purpose.

Hes a Teetotaler.

He tried everything he could hear Of,
winding up at an institute, but the drink
habit could not:be eradicated. One day he
said he would try an original experiment
on himself. He would take a large bottle
with him for day, and whenever he
wanted drink would pour it into the bot
tie instead OF into his gullet. He denied
himself nothing, but went the same old
rounds, glass Of rye here, glass OF
Bourbon there, beer yonder, gin some
where else, cocktails everywhere. When
the day was done the bottle contained a
mess that looked so unpalatable and
emitted so foul an odor that the man got
frightened and swore off for life.-New
