How sIis.ourians Were Made.

Tennessee mountaineers took advan-
tage of the more level lands of Missouri
to fill that state in an incredibly short
space of time after the treaty with the
0sages, and in the states rich and
abundant soil and water they might
have made one of the largest and great
est of the American commonwealth
nearly half a century ago had not the
vicinity been so tempting to the con-
federacy and so important to the north.
In the terrific contest that waged over
the freeing of the slaves.the young men
and the adventurous OF the community
found it easier to migrate than to re-
main at home, easier even at the cost Of
facing the unexplored regions offKan-
sas, New Mexico and Arizona. The en-
during ones tarried, suffered the emo
lions of war, posted the sacrifice of S40,-
o00,00o to be free of serfdom, and
stamped upon Missouri the character
istics of combative endurance.-Ains-
lies Magazine.

SILENT CONVERSATION.
Amusing Incident in a Street CaE
That Caused Nervous HAN
Embarrassment.

Seated opposite me in a ST. Charles
avenue street ear the other day., sand
a gentleman who lives. in the neigh
borhood of Tulane university to
Times-Democrat man, was a middle
aged woman and a chubby-faced man
O: perhaps 81 or IS. They were neat

too, and was trying in vain to keep
her face straight. She had prim, SEE
we're features, and her thin lips were
twisted so strangely that 1 couldn't
help staring at her. Then I looked
around to see what the deuce they
were laughing at, but L failed to dis
Germ anything especially funny in the
car, and finally gave it up. In few
moments / glanced across again, just
in time to catch the queer couple in
another paroxysm of silent mirth.
They seemed a little confused under
my scrutiny, and that suggested the
uncomfortable idea that they were
laughing at me. I took off my hat.
looked at my clothes and couldn't
discover anything unusual about my
appearance, but at the same time the
thing began to get on my nerves, and
when it was repeated five or six times
I became as nervous as a cat in q
strange garnet. During all that while
the couple had not exchanged a single
word. They simply sat there, alter
nately staring into space and shaking
with laughter. 1t was a most uncan-
ny performance, and I was immensely
relieved when they got off. That
evening I was narrating my expert
ence to a neighbor, and he Immediate

| people WE'LL he said. They are deaf
| mutes and cousins. Whenever they
are together they hold hands and Cos

motion of their fingers. You didn't
| notice it, but they undoubtedly had
hold of one another's hands on the
car. They were merely exchanging
neighborhood small talk, and probably
telling few funny stories. IN. o.

PRESIDE IN ALASKA.
The Home Circle In the Evening Prea
sents Picture of Domestic
Enjoyment.

An Alaskan hut is not the worst place
IN the wor1d-far from it. Its interior
consists of a square floor of earth
thanked on all sides by two wide lodges
rising one above the other like a ter
race. On the lower one rest the cook
ing, weaving and fishing utensils, the
knives and needles, pots and pans. On
the upper ledge, with much display of
wonderfully woven blankets, are the
beds. In the center of the room CLOVIS
the fire, the smoke cropping its way
out of hole in the roof.
After the days work is done and the
stomachs of both people and dogs are
full, the family gather around the fire.
Facing the door sits the father, next to
him the mother; on one hand the sons,
and on the other the daughters, even to
the third and fourth generation, it may
be. Beyond these are the servants or
slaves. Each has his place, and takes
1t as a matter of course. Without, in
the darkness, the dogs clutter about
the door and howl.
When the family sings in strange,
broken yet rhythmical measures, the
dogs howl louder than before, and the
women sway their squat bodies back
| and forth increasingly, keeping their
hands occupied meanwhile at their
tasks of weaving or braiding. The men
| carve their spoons or cut curious fig
ures from the black slate. The sutton
for the hand of one of the daughters
enters slyly and takes a seat with the
sons. No protest is made. The father
and mother go on with their little
tasks; the young girls giggle after the
| fashion of girls the world over. And
the sutton, thus unrepulsed, contents
himself, thinking his case won.
The oldest among them chants some
old folksong and the father rises. 1t
is the signal for good nights. The ashes
are spread over the fire, and by the
| light of few fishes tails, dried for
the lighting, the family goes to bed,
forgetful of crashing bergs, of the
| mysterious aurora, of the mountains
where the snow lies forever and al
way. So is home made anywhere,
where the spirit of home exists.-Self-
| Culture

October. The trees on the opposite
side to the tramways behave like ordi-
