JEFFERSON DAVIS HOME.
House That the Famous SOutherner
Built and Lived In When an
Army Officer.

At Fort Gibson, Indian territory, one
of Uncle Sans deserted army posts,
stands two-story house, part frame
and part log, that was for a time the
most pretentious residence in the IA
dius of 500 miles, but now stands de
serted by ALI save bats and owls and
now and then a stray boot owl, whose
dismal and lonesome cry only brings
back long forgotten memories of what
this house has been, says an exchange.
The house was built in 1S4S by Jetfer
son Davis, eX-president of the southern
confederacy, who at that time was an
officer in the United States army. 1t
was here that Davis was in the zenite of
his glory as q defender of the United
States flag. 1t was here that Davis.
then lieutenant, fell in love with,
wooed and won his wife, the daughter
Of Gen. Taylor.
The post was a wild and woolly spot
in those days. 1t was the only trading
poin: for miles around, and was infest-
ed with gamblers, desperadoes, Indian
traders, fugitiyes from justice in the
states, with now and then a gang Of
cowboys, who would come in TO the
post 10 get red eye" and incidentally
shoot The townand any thing and any
body who objected TO them shooting up
the town. Here in the shadow almost
of the post have arisen and thrived such
desperadoes as the James gang, the
Daltons, the STAIRS, Cherokee Bill, etc,
who terrorized the country for so long,
until civilization and the farmers
cleaned them out.
This old house has seen many stir
ring times; it has sheltered many fair
women and brave men, and if il had a
tongue it could doubtless tell many
state secrets, as we'll as many interest
ing stories Of the early days Of the In
dian territory. The post was destroyed
in 1892, and now only a few buildings
stand where there was once thriving
post of several thousand souls, and
where the deer and turkey used 10 roam
in the broad prairie, almost in pistol
shot of this house, are neat and coy
farmhouses, surrounded with peace and
plenty. Such is the passing of the wild
and woolly' days in the Indian terri
tory.-Chicago Evening News.

DR.. Hall inadvertently led his
horse on the sidewalk one day this
week while taking it from the liv-
cry stable to the blacksmith shop,
not knowing that in thus keeping
out OF foot of Pullman mud he
was violating a Pullman ordinance
which says that stock shall not be
led upon the walks, the doctor be-
ing new conner in our midst. J.
ID. Layman saw the technical in
fraction of the ordinance, however,
and forthwith lodged a complaint
against the worthy doctor before
the municipal police judge AS
soon as the doctor knew that his
act was not compatible with the
peace and dignity of the city of
Pullman he went before the Justice
where he paid the minimum fine of
$1OO. But he says he will walk in
the mud next time.

CREATION OF CATS AND MICE.
An Italian Legend Involving St.
Francis de Paula and
the Devil.

I send you a translation l have made
of an Italian legend of how the cat was
created, written by Antonio de Nino.
Many are the proverbs about cats in
the Abruzzi.
st. Francis de Paula performed so
many miracles that the devil was made
i'll with envy. Once lie entered the cell
of st. Francis in the shape of grand
nobleman with box full of heavy gold
pieces. Here Francis" said he, take
these, don't remain in this miserable
hoyel, enjoy life; il is strewn with
roses, why do you collect all the
thorns?' ST. Francis, without much
ado, raised his hand and made the sign
Of the cross, whereupop the fine gentle
man disappeared amid clouds of sui
phur smoke Another time the devil
led lovely damsels, barefooted and
lightly clothed, into the cell Of the
saint, and then queens and expresses
of glorious beauty covered with Jew
els and wrapped in mantles of gold It's
sue. But st. Francis stood there like
a log of wood, and at last made the
sign Of the cross, when everything
disappeared. The devil was furious.
81 must find some way to make this
stolid fellow lose patience"
After much thought he rubbed his
hands with delight. He created mice,
and they multiplied by thousands in
the wink of an eye. The cell of ST.
Francis was filled by them, and he
tried in vain to drive them out with
his hands and feet. But as he drove
them out of the door they swarmed
in at the window, and when he closed
both door and window they crept up
through holes in the brick floor or
dropped down through cracks in the
ceiling. Then they clambered up the
saints tunic, made beds in his straw
mattress, played pranks IL his provi-
sion basket and were generally often
sive. At last st. Francis, after recit-
ing a fervent prayer, burst out laugh
ing. The mice were beginning to at
tack him in thousands, when beauti-
full little cat was created in the sleeve
of his tunic. SO he cried to the mice:
u implore you to stop and go your
way or you will repent it"
The mice answered by pushing their
noses against the bare skin of the saint
as though they wanted to pierce
through him, so he drew the beautiful
little cat out of his sleeve, and it sprang
at the mice blessed with such miracu-
lous hunger that it swallowed two at
time of the big ones and, three or four
of the little ones. ST. Francis hoped
they would have been eXterminated,
and rushed to stop up hole in the
ceiling Che had already shut the door
and the window, but he was rot quick
enough. a pair of mice escaped, and
thus we have those tiresome mice all
over the world. ST. Francis then vi
tered another prayer, and his beautiful
little cat was granted a companion.
They multiplied exceedingly, and have
always been favorites with deyout old
ladies because they are a creation of
st. Francis.-London Spectator.
