along their lonesome journey without
seeing a human face. When yet many
miles from Santa Fe they were over
taken by bowling band of Indians
and a fierce battle was fought. Bird
gems and his companion exhausted
their ammunition and continued the
fight with their knives. Finally they
succeeded in unloosing their horses
from the stage, and. quickly mounting
them, fed through the timber. The
savages gave chase and succeeded in
separating the two men, but did not
capture either of them. Mr.. Bridgens
still retained his treasure. but he lost
his way among the crag9 and canyons,
and it was more than two weeks before
he found his way to the house of a
white man. During all this time he
subsisted entirely upon berries and
herbs, His long absence caused his en-
ployers to believe that he had been
robbed and killed by the Indians, and
before his return they had made good
the money they had given up as lost,
When Mr. BridgenS returned with his
precious burden still intact they were

GORILLA LACKS CULTURE.
The ManIike Animals Have Very
Short Thumbs, Which They
Cannot TWidd1e.

The gorilla and chimpanzee, which
belong to the higher order of apes,
have many points of resemblance to
man, but there is one thing they cam
not do-that is, twiddLe their thumbs,
says an exchange. In the gorilla the
thumb is short and does not reach
much beyond the bottom of the first
joint of the forefnger. 1t is very much
restricted in it's movements, and the
animal can neither twiddle his thumbs
nor turn them round SO that the tips
describe a circle. There are the same
number of bones in the hand of a
gorilla as in the hand of man, but the
thumbs of the monkey have no sepa-
rate f1eXor or bending muscle. This is
why monkey always keeps the thum b
on the same side as the fingers and
never bends it round any object that
may be grasPed. In the gorilla the web
between the finger extends to the sec
ond joint the finger taperS to the tips.
and there is a callosity on the knuckles
on which the animal rests when walk
ing on III tours. There are many other
strong points of resemblance between
the ape and man. but-well, we wish to
be charitable to our fellow man and
will therefore drop the subject.

THE ORIGIN of GRINGO.
1t LIS the Name Given by Mexicans
to Americans Because of
a Song

All the way from California comes
little story of the origin of 'gringo,"
the name given by the Mexicans to all
English and Americans. The writer,
who recently returned from trip
through Mexico, says:
while in Guaymas | met d sea cap

mander of the schooner La Union. He
asked me if l would like to take a trip
with him to Il small seaport village
called Ajiavampo, 65 miles down the
Gulf of California, near the mouth of
both the Mayo and Yaqui rivers. We
had been on shore probably half an
hour when we heard that the natives
were celebrating the anniversary of
saint, and were having great time. l
invited the captain to accompany me to
see it, and the host welcomed me cor
daily and told me to bring in my COM
panion, 'el gringo.

of the families. and were politely told
to make ourselves at home. | drifted

an old lady, whose name learned was
Fabiana Murrieta de Farrell. She stated
that she was "a years old and had been
married to 'gringo' 81 years. She then
explained why the Americans were
called 'gringos,' as follows:--
About the year 10 (meaning $780,

course, girls, were surprised to see a
great crowd coming ashore in some
boats from buque (meaning 4, ship

song that my husband taught me to
pronounce. That was Green Grows

could catch were the first two sen

THE HOSPITAL SHIP.

LONDON, Nov. 9.-Lady Randolph
Churchill made Wednesday the follow
ing statement to American friends
with regard to the project of American
women in England fitting ont a hos
pital ship for use in South African wa
tiers: The time for fitting out the
Maine is so brief that l am glad &c
avail myself of the opportunity TO set
che project fairly before the American
people. The interest manifested by
Americans has already taken such tan
gible form from New York to San
Francisco that am sure an intima-
ton that with the remaining work
there is to do must be done immedi-
ately will spur the American public
into a ready response to our needs.
There is but one motive, one reason,
for the project of sending a hospital
ship to the Cape. We have had oratory
and societies for the promotion OF
Anglo-American friendship. This is
the golden opportunity to put that ex-
preston of good will into tangible
form. 1t is especially the province OF
American women to promote this
cause, but It is woman's function to
foster and nOurish the suffering.
American people are more adept at it,
we believe, than others.

show the world that American women
can do that good work better than any
one else can do it. am going to the

and the British officials, in case such
friction should arise. l contribute
that much time and service gladly, and
all our committee would do the same.

given so generously, will within the
next few days insure that success be.

bed,

A carload of brickbats gathered from the
wreck of the Kingman building, recently
destroyed by fire, has been shipped to a sid
ing in the vicinity of Krug's brewery. From
this point gang of men will use the ma
terial in repairing Vinton between Twenty
first and Twenty fourth streets. Other
quantities of similar debris will be secured
and used in like manner upon the street.
This portion of Vinton street is impossible
in wet weather, for it becomes a quagmre
through which a loaded wagon cannot safely
be driven. On account of its condition
Krug's brewery and the South Omaha pack
ems are frequently compelled to Use the rail-
road to get their products to this city. Com
plant has been frequently made to the coun-
Gil regarding the condition of the street, but
the city fathers have never seen their way
clear to bettering it.
There was once some talk of repavng Vim
ton street, but this was dropped on account
Of the refusal OF adjoining property owners
to petition for the improvement. The prop
erty owners say that their land is not of

JOHN PANUSKA IS ARRESTED
Charged with Endorsement from
Lodge 4171, Camp Nebraska, Mod
ern Woodmcn of America.

Failure to account for the funds in his
possession to the satisfaction of the officers
OF lodge 4771, Camp Nebraska, Modern
Woodmen of America, led to the arrest of
Treasurer John Panuska. The venerable
consul, f. w. Boukal, is the complaining
witness, and the information accuses
Panuska of converting $19s.65 to his own
use. Detectives Keysor and Sullivan were
detailed to investigate the matter before the
arrest was made, as the officers of the lodge
did not care to make mistake
Panuska claimed that his house was
broken into about the first of April and the
money taken from the receptacle in which
he had 1t concealed. The, detectives ex-
amned the window through which Panuska
said the thieves had entered, and found the
dust on the sill untouched, indicating that
no one had passed in. Further inquiry
sustained their theory that no thief had
entered the house and they made report to
the effect that they believed no robbery had
occurred. This seemed to concur with the
opinion held by the officers of the lodge, ap-
parently, as they appeared before the city
prosecutor and charged Panuska with en-
