St. Louis, Jan. 1S.-A special to the
Republic from Efuaula, |. T., says:
Deputy Marshal Grant johnson has
brought the news thai the disaffected
Creek Indians, known as the Snake

ed man who resisted arrest. The
marshal says the country west of here
is in an uproar; that several bands
of disaffected Indians, numbering
about fifty each, are out and are claim
ing to be the legally constituted author

an Independent chief, council and 9th,

The Public callow. a Century Ago

The Public Gallows n Century Ago.
Even IL the bicycle had been invented
hundred years ago touring could
hardly have become very popular-at
all events, for solitary cyclists. The
old guidebooks were by no means
cheerful reading. A run from London
to East Grinstead, distance of five or
six and twenty miles, would have talk
en- the wheelman past three gibbets,
and it was just as likely as not that
from one or the other of them a body
would be swinging in the wind.
Up till the beginning Of the nine
tenth century the galIows was almost
as frequent landmark as finger posts
or public houses have become now.
The traveller approaching York is d.
rected by the guidebooks to turn
round by the gallows and three wind
mills" and the road out of Durham is
'between the gallows and Crokehill."
Going out of Wells you "cross the
brook and pass by the gallows."
Any number of such directions can
be cleaned from the old books for the
guidance of travellers hundred years
ago, and us these interesting objects
were put up and the dead bodies Of
malefactors left upon them for the
special edification of footpads and
highwaymen there was suggestive
ness about them that must have given
a special piquancy to cycle touring If it
had been in vogue at that time.-Lon-

The late Professor Hinsdale was SIN
and as for slang-well, he knew far
more about the deadest of dead Ian
guages than he did concerning these
saucy innovations on his native tongue.
There was certain piece Of legisla>
ton which was of considerable inter-
est to the local school officials. 1t had
been introduced into the legislature
and was there hanging fire.
One day Professor Hinsdale, then
school superintendent, said to Mr.. Tom
Whitehead, secretary of the board of
education: 'Mr. Secretary, what is the
outlook for that special school bill now
in the hands Of the state Legislators?
Do you believe it will be adopted
soon?"
The secretary shook his head in a
manner that was meant to be thorough
ly discouraging and said, with strong
emphasis:
ut will be cold day when that bill
is passed"
The superintendent nodded and pass
ed on.
A day or two later somebody came
into his Office and asked him about the
prospects Of the same bill.
"Well," he replied in his heavy way,
II have no personal means of knowing
the status of the measure, but have
been assured emphatically by Secreta-
ry Whitehead, who may be considered
IN expert in securing knowledge of this
character, that the bill will not pass
until next winter" = Cleveland Plain

curiou. Picture rrame.,

In many churches Of Provence and
Italy, especially those near the sea, ex
vote paintings placed on the walls In
accordance with vows made by pill
grims in moments of danger are often
remarkable for their frames. Among
the curiosities may be enumerated
laths formed Of splinters from ships
that have been wrecked; also frames
made of pieces of heavy cables, occa-
sionally painted bright hues, but some
times left in their primitive gray color
and splashed with tar. Nailed to the
laths surrounding painting repre-
senting sailors fighting with fierce saw
ages may be seen African or Polyne-
sian spears and darts or swords made
of hard wood, evidently mementos Of
terrific struggles. Sailors or landsmen
who have made vows during times of
peril ut sea and who have no trophies
to display will surround their paintings
with broad bands of wood heavily In
crusted with shells and seaweed, not
infrequently of rare and extremely
beautiful kinds. = London Peoples
