BAcKsET FOR A POET.
The Reciting Rhymster 1. s1uelched
by Golden Haired Tot
of Five.

He is kindly old gentleman and he
writes sweet little poems about chill
dren. He also has the habit of reciting
his verses by the hour to any willing
CIR unwilling listener whom he is for
tunate enough to corral, says Chicago
exchange.
He dropped into the doctors the 9TH
er evening, removed his overcoat and
began. The doctor is kind-hearted
soul and his wife is a lady of much re-
fnement. They have little golden
haired girl of five, who sat for a long
time and stared at the visitor solemnly.
He has committed to heart every
thing that he has ever written, ard his
poems are innumerable. Occasionally
he would stop, and, smiling at thelittle
girl, would say: "You liked that didh It
you, sissy? That touched you, Ell? oh,
I like to have the little children listen
Gerstand them
The doctor and the Doctors wife oc-
casionally exclaimed Beautiful" or
STouching!" What else could they do i?
Then the poet declared: 1.-THE won
dering silence of that child is to me
greater praise than the plaudits Of adj
miring thousands"
AT last the little girl slid down from
her chair, and, marching up to the poet,
looked him squarely in the eye, while
she asked, innocently:
Say. old man, are you goin' 10 stay
here all night ?"

NICARAGUAN RELICS.
Government Scientists win Seek to
Discover Them.
Building of the New Interoceanic
Canal Will Prove of Quite asMuch
Interest to the ArchaeoloHist
as the Engineer.

An ancient people which buried its
dead in boot-shaped pots is to be dug
up and investigated by government
scientists.
The task, says the New York Journal,
will be attempted in connection with
the making of the new interoceanic
canal, inasmuch as it is believed that
this work will unquestionably bring
about the resurrection of immense
quantities of prehistoric relics. Partic-
Nlarly on the Pacific side, Nicaragua is
rich in such remains-evidence of the
former existence of an important civili-
zation. Naturally. anxiety is felt to
take advantage of this extraordinary
opportunity for studying, so far as prac-
ticable, the arts and customs of van
ished American race.
There is no question that plenty of
material will be obtainable. The popu-
lation anciently inhabiting that region
was very large, and the relics left be-
hind are proportionate in quantity. No
very serious effort has ever been made,
to study the archaeology of this part of
Central America, and dense forests now
cover to a great extent the vestiges of s
lost people. In the midst of these for
ests stand to this very day great stone
images, which they worshiped as gods.
The practice of burial in pots was only
one of their odd customs. Many such
pots have been dug up. They are huge,
boot-shaped urns of earthenware, five
feet high and four feet in diameter. In
each one, ordinarily, is found a human
skeleton in sitting posture, with the
knees drawn up to the chin.
In every case the burial pot, when
sufficiently preserved, has cover,
which is an inverted bowl of earthen-
ware deliberately decorated with figures
of curious design that evidently had a

CURIOSITY AND IMITATION.
They Lend Crowd of People In Chi
cngo to Chase an Inno-
cent Boy.

A man has only to stare blankly into
space for single instant on the streets
of Chicago to attract the attention of
two or three curious pedestrians, who
direction and endeavor to discover
the cause of the original interest.
They in turn are joined by clus
tiers of others, who readily for
get their business and pleasures in
order to form part of the ever-widen-
ing group of curious sazers. If a wom-
an stops to pick up :. pin, fearful if she
neglects that economical practice that
her luck will depart for the day, the
spot on the sidewalk where the pin lay
will Immediately be subjected to the
minutest scrutiny and the surrounding
territory will be examined as carefully
as lift contained hidden treasures.
A small boy almost started panic
one crowded Saturday noon downtown
by running as fast as he could for q
block on State street from Washington
north to Randolph in order to make u
fast train TO reach the football field in
time for the Saturday game. State
street was unusually crowded even for
Saturday noon, and everyone, seeing
the boy run as if a policeman were aft
err him, started in pursuit. They fol-
lowed him north on State to Randolph,
then east as fast as they could fly to
Michigan avenue. +.
The chase was wildly exciting game
of fox and geese, but the boy eluded
all purSl1erS as he was able to dO1oe
cable cars and wagons with the agile
facility of a youngster. Totally uncon-
scious of the crowd in pursuit, he
dashed breathlessly north on Michigan
avenue and through the turnstiles of
the railroad station just in time to
catch the train.
If he had only turned around he
would have been able to turn the laugh

HIS COUSIN,

James Cutler, aged s years, and resid-
ing with his parents IN West Front
street, anne near sending a boy named
Peterson into eternity yesterday by strlk-
ing him with a stone, which he threw at
short range. The Peterson boy is about
10 years Of age and resides with his
mother, across the B., A. & 2. tracks.
Young Cutler claims that Peterson in
suited his cousin, a little girl about the
same age. He picked up a rock and
hurled it at young Peterson, striking him
on the head. DR.. Mckenzie was called
and dressed the wound, which took sew
eral stitches. Mrs. Bergen, the mother of
young Peterson, caused the arrest of
young Cutler. He will be arraigned in
Judge Frank Kennady's our today. 1t
is understood that the case will not be
prosecuted for the reason that Peterson
is not seriously injured and was to blame
for the lambasting he received.

However much the emotions are stirred over the
