Three miles up the Frisco track
almost on top of the Winding
Stair mountain, there is pool OF
water that is said to be alive with
the finest of fish. The excavation
was made by the Frisco workmen
several years ago and has neither
inlet nor outlet whereby the fish
might arrive or depart and their
presence, which is vouched for by
a number of local sportsmen, is
something of a mystery, even to
those who delva in Histology. -

performed their part well,
not a grunt escaping during the

Many years ago, when superstition
held greater sway than now and the
influences of the occult and weird
were most potent, cunning negro
slave had acquired the reputation of
possessing a familiar spirit and of
being able to perform many uncanny
mysteries. His fellow slaves held
him in great awe, and even his mas
ter grew to a belief in his powers.
This finally led to wager, in which
the greater part of the masters for
tune was etaked ON the negro's di-
vining ability. A barrel was placed
on the lawn and live coon placed
under the barrel Then the negro
soothsayer was sent for and told to
inform the crowd what was under
the barrel He tried in various ways
to escape the exposure, but without
success. Realizing that he was cor
nered, he leaned on the barrel de-
jectedly and remarked, well,
you've got this old coon at last. "
whereupon great shout applauded
what was considered Sambo's re-
markable astuteness, and his repu-
tation was forever firmly establish
