standpoints the relation is character
istic by pleasing amenities. Juicy ber-
res refresh him along the road; nuts
drop into his path; sang" (ginseng),
which makes one of his sources of
revenue, reveals itself to his eye as he
follows the cows to pasture; n cool
brook springs up to quench his thirst
when weary of following the plow;
pine knots are always within reach 20

a receptacle that Is as good for dough
at one end as for baby Mt the other.

OUR SCOTCH INDIANS.
Signs of the Infusion of Blood from
Across Sea in Cherokee Veins.

Signs of the Infusion of Blood from
Across Sea in Cherokee Veins.
st. Louis Globe-Democrat: Chero-
KEGS come well by their stubbornness,
their shrewdness and their love of
controversy. AS Indians they had these
traits to begin with. AS the result of
strong infusion of Scotch blood they
added to the strength of the character
istics. 1t Is Scotch history that after
the battle of Culloden many Scotchmen
left their native land rather than ac-
cept English sovereignty. 1t is Cher
okee history that numbers of these
sturdy Scots found homes and wives
with the Cherokee Nation before the
enforced migration of the tribe from
Georgia to the Indian Territory. John
Ross was one of these Scotch exiles
who accepted Cherokee citizenship. He
became chief and was given the name
of "Coo-is-coo-ee." When the nation
moved to the territory one of the dis
tricts into which the reservation was
divided for government purposes was
named "Coo-is-coo-ee." Ross founded
family which became powerful in
Cherokee councils. He and his son were
frequent visitors to Washington and
had much to do with the treaty maxi
ing which gave to the nation the
strong legal position it holds in its
relation with the United States. A
descendant of Ross, the Scotch exile
is one of the officers of the nation to-
day. The Adairs are another infuen-
tial Cherokee clan established by a
Scotchman who came over after the
battle of Culloden AS the descendants
of Adair by his Cherokee wife grew up
| they were sent away to American col
leges and given the best of opportuni-
ties for education. McNair is another
of the familiar Scotch names introduc-
ed into the Cherokee Nation by this
| Scotch infusion. The McNair who
came over after Culloden was High
| lander. One of his descendants lives
on a magnificent estate of 1,500 acres
in the beautiful valley of the Grand
river. Duncan is another Scotch name
found among the Cherokees. The head
and front of the Cherokee opposition
to American citizenship is a Duncan
whose claim to Cherokee citizenship
would not be guessed by any physical
characteristics. He is Scotch In looks
and Scotch in his love of a controversy

Philadelphia Inquirer: The sarsapa-
iilla rickey was discovered by the
head bartender of a well-known cafe
in the central part of the city. The
sarsaparllla rickey consists of cracked
ice, bottle, or as much as a tall, thin
glass will hold of ordinary sarsaparilla
and the juice of one half of n lime.
The ice is put into glass first, then
the sarsaparilla, and lastly the lime
Juice. The combination of sweetness
in the sarsaparllln and sourness in the
lime, coupled with the sarsaparlla's
well-known flavor, forms a drink both
delicious and refreshing.

EURRowiN0 ANIMALS.
Some Dig Holes for the Love OF the
Thing.

some Dig Aoles Tor the LOvO of the
Thing.
Ventilation, or rather the want of It,
must be difficulty in the underground
life of almost all mammals, The rab-
bit and the rat secure a current of air
by forming bolt hole in connection
with their system of passages, but the
fox, the badger, and many of the field
notes and mice seem Indifferent to any
such precaution. There is no doubt
that whatever gave the first impulse to
Durrow, many animals look upon this
to us most unpleasant eXertion as q
form of actual amusement. 1t also
confers a right to property. Prairie
dogs constantly set to work to dig HOES
merely for the love of the thing. II
they can not have a suitable place to
exercise their talent in they will gnaw
into boxes or chests of drawers and
there burrow, to the great detriment OF
the clothes therein contained. In al
inclosed prairie dog town" they have
been known to mine until the superin-
cumbent earth collapsed and buried the
greater number. A young prairie dog
let lose in small gravel floored house
instantly dug hole large enough to
sit in, turned round in it, and bit the
first person who attempted to touch
MIN. Property gave him courage for
before he had been as meek as a mouse.
II is noticeable that the two wea'.est
and least numerous of our mice, the
dormouse and the harvest mouse. do
not burrow, but make nests, and that
these do not multiply or maintain their
numbers like the burrowlng mice and
voles. But the fact that there are
members Of very closely allied species
some of which do burrow, while Others
do not seems to indicate that the habit
is an acquired one. In this connection
those which do not burrow at
other times form burrows in
which to conceal and protec;
their young, or, if they do bur-
row. make different kind of a more
elaborate character Among these
nursery burrows are those of the dog.
the fox, and sandmartin, the kingfisher
and the shelldrake. Foxhound litters
never do SO well as when the mother Is
allowed to make a burrow on the
sunny side of strawstack. In time
she will work this five or six feet into
the stack and keep the puppies at the
far end, while she lies at the entrance
Vixens either dig or appropriate clean
burrow for their cubs, which is nat
ural habit, or, at any rate, one ac-
quired previously to the use of earth
by adult foxes.-London Spectator.

LIFE IN AFRICA.
Man-Eating Lions Devour the Advance
Guard of Civilization.

l
Guard of Civilization.
Some further facts have been re-
ceived about the man-eating lions
which made such panic among 1000
Indian coolies working on the Uganda
railroad few months ago. 1t appears
that the first time the laborers knew
anything about lions that make busi-
ness OF killing men to eat was one day
when one of the brutes, in broad day
light. as the laborers were strung along
the line with shovels in hand, sudden
ly sprang in among them, crushed one
poor fellows skull with terrible blow
| of his paw and manned another so
badly that he could not get away. OF
course all the Mortified workmen took
to their heels and raised the alarm at
the camp mile away. The district
engineer and his assistant at once went
to the spot, but the lion had disap-
peared, leaving all of the two bodies he
could not eat at one meal. After that
an armed guard was kept along the
line of work. but it made little differ
ence to the animals that were deter
mined to have men to eat They would
spring like flash out of the jungle,
sieze man and bear him off beyond
pursuit. Two days after the first man
was killed another man was taken, and
the next day another disappeared, and
within fortnight eleven men had been
siezed, all from one camp. The third
week brought the list of victims up to
fifteen. The sixteenth victim was one
of the coolie overseers huge man,
standing over six feet and weighing
more than 200 pounds. He was the
first man to reach the work line in the
morning, and just as he was giving
him and dealt him terrible blow on
the head. crushing the skull Then he
coolly began to eat his prey, while the
shivering Indians stood about 300 feet
away feeling that they were safe now
that the lion had got his man. Some
how it didn't occur to them to shoot
till the brute had finished his meal,
and then they blazed away in terrific
volley and ended the animals career
then and there. 1t was not till twen-
ty-eight coolies had been killed that
the large force of workmen went on
strike. They declined to do another
bit of work till all the maneaters had
been cleared out of the surrounding
country. Work was suspended till
party of hunters had laid low the last
OF these formidable foes of man. and
since then no further casualties Of the
sort have been reported

No Duplication In This Furniture.


One of the fads of the fashionable
set is to have furniture made strictly
to order. This plan enables every one
to have different furniture. And you

tiles of your house or taste are, the
made to-order furniture fits both 1t
matches anything you want matched
and is stamped with your own indiriG-
uality, and your crest, in solid gold, If
you desire. Several of the exclusive
furniture establishments have opened
"made-to- order departments" A pos
tai card brings an artistic furniture
specialist. who measures the space,
makes sketches and submits designs
and estimates, and If satisfactory he
proceeds to turn out the work as you

MRS. vANDERBlLT'S DOUBLE.
She Has Beon Having a Great Deal of
Fun.

5ne flab beCn HAVING a Great Deal of
Fun.
Mrs. William X. Vanderbilt, Jr, has
double in Newport who, on account
of her resemblance to the mistress of
Belvoir, has been receiving attention
that she thoroughly enjoyed for a long
time without knowing the reason for
it, says correspondent of the Denver
Post. She could attribute it only to n
sudden and unaccountable streak OF
politeness on the part of the storekeep-
ers of Newport. The young lady is
Miss Bertha Eddy, pretty little bru-
nette of Newport, an almost exact
counterpart of Mrs. Vanderbilt in form
and feature. 1t was shortly after the
marriage of Miss Virginia Fair to Will
liam X. Vanderbilt, Jr., and her arrival
in this city that Miss Eddy noticed a
marked change in the attitude of the
storekeepers of Newport toward her
when she had occasion to visit their
establishments. The treatment Of her
was SO obsequious that Miss Eddy
could not account for it, and it was in
such striking contrast to that which
native Newporter is in the habit of
receiving that she could not fail to
notice it. After one or two experiences
of this kind Miss Eddy began to won
der and was at loss how to account
for it, The mystery was explained
one afternoon on a visit to florists
establishment, when she was ad-
dressed as Mrs. Vanderbilt. The sit
uation dawned upon the pretty little
brunette like flash, and in a spirit
of fun she concluded not to enlighten
the florist as to his mistake. The nov
city, too, of the courteous treatment
she had received was rather too pleas
ant to dispel. Miss Eddy's simple
purchases did not seem to attract the
attention of the storekeepers from the
fact, perhaps, that Mrs. Vanderbilt has
already acquired the reputation of be.
ing a thrifty housewife. For nearly
three months this had been kept up
and now that Mrs. Vanderbilt has be.
come familiar figure here and il
known to every one in Newport, Miss
Eddy finds that on visiting a store She
is now treated with less distinguished
courtesy. The situation Is all tht
more humorous to the young lady, a!
she never by single act attempted t.
carry out the deception. the storekeep
ers having deluded themselves.
