An Honest Chief.

Arapooish, Chief of the Grow
Indians, was a man Of wonderful in.
fuence. In "Bonneville's Adventures"
an incident is related, showing his
method of restraining the evil pro-
pensities of his braves. Mr.. Robert
Campbell, while guest in the lodge
of Arapooish, had collected large
quantity OF furs, and fearful of being
plundered, had deposited but part
in the lodge; the rest he buried.
One night Arapooish entered tho
lodge with cloudy brow, and turning
to Campbell, said:
"You have more furs with you than
you have brought to my lodge?"
ST have" replied Campbell.
"Where are they?"
Campbell described the place.
| "Tis WE'LL" said Arapooish. ''You
speak straight. But your cache has
been robbed. Go and see how many
skins have been taken"
| Campbell examined the cache, and
estimated his loss to be about one
hundred and fifty beaver skins.
AIapooish summoned his people,
reproached them for robbing a guest,
and commanded that the skins should
be brought back. For himself, he
would not eat or drink till all had
been restored.
Soon the skins began to come in.
They were laid down in the lodge, and
those who brought them departed
without word. Arapooish sat in
one corner silent. Above hundred
pelts were brought in, and Campbell
expressed himself satisfied. Not so
the Grow Chieftain. He tasted all
night. In the morning more skina
were brought in, and one and two at q
time, they continued to come through
the day.
els all right now?" demanded Ara.
pooish.
GAN is right" replied Campbell.
"Good! Now bring me meat ant
drink" said the old Chief. -Youth'l

Killed by Eating Spiders.

An interesting scientific question
has arisen and received considerable
attention through the suicide of a
woman in an Iowa jail-the question
whether or not there is venom in the
bites of all spiders. Cora Smith,
who was incarcerated in Des Moines
for murder, committed suicide by eat
ing large number of spiders which
she collected in her cell. She took
them day by day until she had col
lected quantity of them in hand
kerchief. Then eating the mess she
died almost Immediately. Unques-
tiouably the spiders did their work,
but in what manner the post-mortem
failed to entirely discover. The con-
clusion drawn was that all spiders are
venomous, but whether their poison
is effectual when elected into the
veins or only when swallowed is open
to discussion.
Generally speaking, animal poisons.
like snake poison, however deadly
when introduced into the veins Of
human being, are absolutely harm
less when swallowed. That is the
reason why a person may without risk
suck the venom from a wound made
by a rattlesnake or even by cobra,
which is recognized as the most dead
~ serpent in existence.

Every week the newspapers report
mysterious events. There are rob-
berries, murders, conspiracies and ac-
cidents OF which no detective is able
to furnish the explanation. And yet,
if their advertisements are true, there
are hundreds Of clairvoyants who for
money are constantly revealing to
their clients all manner of secret

think we can speak for America in
saying that there is no living man out

sailors, soldiers, policemen, fremen

LAWSUIT ABOUT A CLOCK.
Originally Valued at So, Litigation Has
Cost $4,000, and the End is Not Yet.


Cost $4,000. and the End is Not Yet.
Justice Eben @. Poole, of Evans.
vile, Ind. has in his possession q
clock valued at So that has cost $4,000
already, and before the rightful own
ership of the timepiece is settled II
may cost that much more.
Mrs. Amanda Mckinley, living on
West Alabama street, bought a clock
from W. W. White, agent in Evans
vile for the American Wringer Com
pany, of Cincinnati, eighteen months
ago. The woman made only one pay
ment on the clock, and the agent at
tempted to take it from her by force.
He failed, and the next day was ar
rested for striking Mrs. Mckinley.
White got out writ of replevin for
the clock, and the constable secured
it. Mrs. Mckinley sued for possess
sion CT the clock, and a jury found
for her.
Mrs. Mckinley also sued the Amer
lean Wringer Company for $4,000
damages, alleging that White, in try
ing to take the clock from her, per-
manently disabled her by striking
her. She won the suit in two courts,
and an appeal was taken to the Su-
preme Court of Indiana, where the
matter rests at present.
Mrs. Mckinley has filed suit in
Justices Court demanding the posses
sion of the clock. The Justice in
formed her that she owed the court
$40 in fees, and that she would have to
make monthly payments on the time
piece to the wringer company. Mrs.
Mckinley will take the matter into
higher court. Although jury has
given her the possession of the clock,
she cannot secure it until she has paid
sum three times its value. The
woman is determined to have the
timepiece, she says, if it costs her
$1,000 more. There had been a dozen
lawyers to reap rich fees from
the litigation over the clock. In the
damage suit of Mrs. Mckinley against
the American Wringer Company,
tried at Boonville, fifteen attorneys
were employed.

The big orders for American loco
motives for English railroads indicate
two things. One is that the recent
strikes in England have seriously in.
jured the industries of that country,
making establishments unable to fill
orders. The other is that the United
States is capable of supplying de-
mands more promptly than any other
nation, and as satisfactorily as any, at
least, in point of quality.

America is truly the land of news
papers. The love of newspapers may
be said to be a permanent craze, in
fact, for no sooner do children begin
to read before they pick up the news
papers and spell out their words just
as in the old days their parents did
out of fairy tales and story books.
American families are omnivorous
readers. They devour every scrap of
their papers and digest the mass
in wonderf NJ manner. Merchants
have long ago remarked this charac-
teristic of the average citizen and they
have not scrupled to utilize it to their
own great advantage.

he said, sis based on the postulate
that object and subject are, in the
last analysis, identical. This drives
him, of necessity, to confound the
phenomenal with what he calls the
nominal, Did I say Kant? I meant,
of course, Hegel. The refuge OF
characterization, it seems to me,
must be gross materialism, despite
the pretense of sound philosophic
basis. Until you grasp the concep-
ton that thought and being are sep
arate and distinct entities, or, in
other words, that to be and to exist
are totally different manifestations of
creative power, and that the phenom-
email projection of things which to us
seem real are merely the shadowy ap-
pearances which avouch the real, we
have no adequate foundation for n
cosmology that shall satisfy the indie

now above the billion mark again, as
a result of the war expenses. The
growth of our national debt in recent
years is shown by the fact that at
this time in 1895 the amount was less
than $6OO,0O0,O0 Our debt makes
no comparison with that of France,

Professor D. r. McAnally, in the
Ladies' Home journal, in a carefully
compiled paper shows how age affects
the American girls chances of mar
riage, how they are affected by bust
ness conditions and war, in which
States her chances are best, in which
worst, the influence of education on
matrimony, marriages in the country,
etc. This writer asserts that the
American girls chances of securing a
husband are considerably better than
the European girls, for the reason
that there are but $50 women to every
1000 men in the United States, while
in the countries of the old world there
are more women than men.

REPRESENTATIVE OF JAPAN
Attending Sessions of Railroad Men In

Among the very interested attendants
atIthe meeting of the railroad men In
this CITY at the Falmouth hotel is S.
KuDisana of Toxic, Japan, engineer of

has teen sent to this co untry by his gov
eminent to study the system of American
railroads and to report on thar workings.
MIR. Kunisana lsft the Orient on July
IS, arriving at Vancouver Aug o. Thence
he proceeded to San Francisco and cross
ing the country paid visits to Chicago
and New York, and came to Portland to
witch the proceedings OF the represen Ia
tive body of railroad mon who re hold !
ing their meetings in our midst.
Referring to Japan Mr.. Kunisnna
said to reporter of the PRESS yester.
day that she had now about 1000 mileslof
railroad, 1c0 miles Of which were owned
by the governments. The rest belong to
privats corporations. The 1rsf railroad
was introduced into Japan about 80 years
ago. The English were the guiding
spirits, but the Japanese furnished the
capital and wonderful progress has been
made since then. The first railroad was
frcm Toxic, the capitol. to Yokohoms,
IS miles, and the read was a narrow
gauge one, three feet, six inches.
Besides the four thousand miles already
o mpletsd it is proposed 10 construct 1000
miles in addition part Of which Is now
undergoing construction. All Of the
money fer this comes from the Japan
ese, though American AMI English en-
ginesrs in most cases supervised the
work.
The roads in Japan are on paying
basis, though most of the income results
from the passenger traffic, the receipts
from freight being about one third of
the total.
Mr.. Kunisana is most intelligent OBJ

with him thoughts that will be of ines
