SUNK LANDS.
prdlries Transformed Into a Series of
Lakes in a Single Night.

"When people living in what is now
the eastern part of Craighead county,
Ark, went to bed one night in the lat
ter part of Decem Der, 1S11," said a
former resident of that region, 'they
closed their eyes on one of the most
beautiful and fertile stretches of land
that aver man saw. The region was q
series of rolling prairies, Interpreted
with heavy forests.
The St.Francis river and its twin sis
ter, the Little River, wound through
the prairies and around the edges of
the woods, which cast their shadows on
the waters from high and solid banks.
When those residents looked out upon
the prospect presented the next morn
ing they must have been surprised. In
place of the rivers aud the rolling
prairies vast lakes spread away owe
the area. In places above the surface
of the largest of these sheets of water
so suddenly brought into existence the
tops of trees could be e but in otL-
ers the woods had been entirely sub
merged. The land for l2O miles up and
down the river aud for a width of prob
ably sixty miles had sunk below the
surface and water had filed the great
cavities thus formed. The area thus
wiped off the face of the earth came to
be called the Sunk lands, and that is
Its name today.
To-day the entire area of the Sunk
Lands is a chain of great cypress and
gum swsmps. with here and there an
extent of old prairie and a remnant of
ancient, forest diversifying the land
scape. The cypress grows luxuriantly
in the lakes. while the gum trees and a
species of sycamore occupy the swamps.
The trees are festooned with a
massive growth of parasitic vines and
moses. The valley is probably the
most picturesque stretch of aquatic
scenery in the entire south. Steam
boats make their way at q favorable
season of the year in the tortuous
course through the long and narrow
vistas beneath the overhanging and

OUTLAW KEETON

Will Probably Be Surrendered To
the Texas Officers Within the
Next Few Days--Prisoner's
Surrender Has Been Asked on
the Grounds Of Sheep Stealing.
Outlaw John Keeton in Jail at Juarez,
will doubtless be surrendered in q few
days:
A special from Austin says:
In the negotiations pending between
the Texas authorities n the Mexican
government for the e%xtradition of
Mex, and wanted in Coleman county
Tex, to answer to the charge of train
robbery, the question of the crime hav-
ing been committed before the present
treaty became effective has not been
raised.
The only objection to the extradi-
ton of Keeton yet urged by the Mex
lean authorities is hat the existing
treaty does not provide for the extra
dition of persons charged with being
accomplices in crime. This point will
probably be waived in view of the fact
that certified copies of the court rec
ord showing the conviction OF keeton's
accomplices and his connection with
the C ime have been furnished the Mex
lean authorities at their request.
1t Is understood that b application
for the prisoners ~extradition on the
charge of sheep stealing has been
made only as a last resort, to be con-
sidered should the first application be
considered.
1t is confdentially expected that
Keeton will be turned over to the Tex
as authorities within the next few days.
It is claimed that the questions involv-
ed in the KeetOn case are nothing like
as intricate as those in the cas- OF Mrs.
Rich, who was recently turned over to
the Mexican authorities to answer to
the charge of killing her husband.
In the latter case the shooting was
lone in Juarez, Mex, but the wounded
man died on this side of b border.
The fact nay also be cited that the
United States government waived some
equally Intricate points in granting the
extradition of Santiago Morphy, who
was arrested in Kansas City a short
time ago and turned over to the Next
can authorities to be tried for embez-
element in the City of Mexico.
Should the Mexican government re-
fuse to grant Keeton's ~extradition on
technical grounds, such action would
have a bad effect, as it would tend to
discourage the efforts of the officers OF
the law who are endeavoring to sup
press crime along the Rio Grande Dor
der.

ROMAN NEW YEARS.
Various Dates Celebrated mt Differ
ent Periods.

The good old Romans, who had some
hard common sense in spite of their
self conceit. believed thoroughly in
New Years day. They were charac-
teristically careless as to when it
should be celebrated, and sometimes 1t
was held at various dates of the year
by communities living at no greater
distance from each other than a rail
road train would take them in these
days in a few hours. But so long as
they got the full number of high days
and holidays into the II months the
good old Romans cared little whether
they adhered strictly to the almanac
or not.
Even when Christianity became an
established institution in the land and
the Christian leaders began to sys-
tematize the days for celebrations in
which the church participated there
was still difference of opinion as to
the day on which New Years could
properly be celebrated. 1t is even on
record that New Years day has been
kept on the date set apart for Christ
mas, while it got so mixed up with the
other divisions of time at another pc
riod that it was kept on Easter day
one year and on the 1st of March on
another 1t is necessary to trace the
celebration of the first New Years day
clear down to the sixteenth century be-
fore any definite understanding of the
proper day for the celebration can be
found.-Brooklyn Citizen.

NEW YEARS IN SCOTLAND.

deal of hard drinking at this season.
