HE KNEW IT ALL.
One Boys Conceit Was Greater Ihan
His knowledge.

The difference between what BOY
of 16 actually knows and what ne
thinks he knows is often remarkable
and was illustrated not long ago by
the experience of a youth OF that age
who lived in this city. The boys
parents had decided to send him away
to school, and as they were somewhat
anxious as to the boys health a
southern institution was selected.
When the time for departure arrived
the boy insisted on bidding the mem
bers of the family good-by at home
instead of having them accompany
him to the train and kiss and shed
tears over him in public. To this plan
the family rather reluctantly con-
sented, and as they were somewhat
fearful that he would not get away
safely, but he assured them that he
was old enough to take Of himself, and
accordingly, after the good-bys had
been said, he was allowed to go to the
station unattended. No sooner had he
obtained his ticket and passed through
the gates than he was hailed by
number of youthful friends and school
mates who had come to bid him fare
well. He was standing talking
through the bars of the fence to this
group when a train started to pull out
of the station and some one in the
party said:
There goes your train, Sam"
Immediately Sam turned and made
a dash for the retreating train, waving
his grip and yelling as he ran in order
to attract the attention of the brake
man, who stood on the rear platform.
It was impossible for this official to
ignore such decided demonstrations
and, thinking, of course, that it was
a passenger who had missed his train,
he pulled the bell rope and the train
came to a halt as the boy rushed up
to the platform and gasped:
Does this train go to Nashville?"
''No, you blamed idiot, it don't" re-
sponded the brakeman as he viciously
pulled the bell for the train to pro-
coed. The boy returned to the station
and boarded the right train, which had
scarcely pulled out of the station until
he discovered that he had forgotten to
check his trunk, and it became neces-
sary for him to telegraph his father
requesting him to have it checked and
sent after him. His troubles were not
yet ended, however, as he was obliged
to change cars at Louisville and take
a sleeper for Nashville. Getting out
of the train he hurried into the station
and got his sleeper ticket, and then re-
turned to the train sheds Seeing a
train standing there and not wishing
to get on it Immediately, he began to
stroll up and down the platform. I'M
til, growing tired of his occupation, he
inquired:
What time does this train leave for
Nashville?"
Nashville" replied that official;
''this train don't go to Nashville; it
goes to Cincinnati The Nashville
train left a half-hour ago."
Although Sam finally got to Nash
vile, he did not arrive on schedule

MAGNITUDE OF CARNEGIE MINES.

It is estimated at a rough guess that
the Carnegie interests represent about
$500 100000. When it is realized that
the company owns one-fourth of all
the ore territory in the northwest and
Lake Superior region, these figures
are certainly not too high, if high
enough From authoritative sources
comes the information that besides the
territory that is being mined, there
are still $4,000 acres of undeveloped
land owned by the Carnegies. The
OUTPUT at the present time is enor-
NOUS. The very latest appliances are

CAPTAIN LOGAN'S RINGS.
One Found Years After His Death on
a Squaw's Finger

Indian Agent Logan of Browning,
Mont, told a night or two ago of an
interesting experience he had while
out in the far northwest. His father,
Captain William Logan, was killed in
fight with the Nez Perces at Big
Hole twenty-three years ago. When
his body was recovered, the little
finger on the left hand had been cut
off at the second joint, and two rings
worn on that finger had been re-
moved. Two years afterward his son,
now the Indian agent, came across a
Blackfoot Indian who wore a seal ring

TATTOOING IN OLD TIMES.
1t Was a Common Custom Among the
Indians of Louisiana.

Tattooing was a universal custom
among the Indians of old Louisiana
with both sexes. Among the men it
possessed a significance attaching to
their career as warriors, and their
tattoo marks were testimonials of
distinctions; with the women it seems
to have been merely matter OF
adornment From their girlhood the
women caused themselves to be tattoo
ed on the face. Sometimes it was a
tattoo across the top of the nose;
sometimes the line was up and down
the chin, and not infrequently the en-
