Cliff Dwellers.

A correspondent writing from
Fort Apache to the Ell Paso
Herald, gives the following viv-
id description of the ancient
houses of the Cliff Dwellers in
that vicinity:
Fort Apache is situated in a
very picturesque valley at the
junction of the White and Black
rivers. To the east of the Fort
about one mile is the remains of
an ancient Indian village and
fort further up Black river to
the east, probably four miles,
the sides of that river are honey
combed with the remains of the
Cliff Dwellers.
one entraDce opens into sever
al hundred rooms. The rooms
are dark and dismal and there
are SO many of them that the
tourists are compelled to line
their course with a string in
order not TO loose their course
and then perish in the tombs Of
that once queer people who in
| ha bited this section of the COun-
try. These rooms one opening
into another extend back under
the solid roof of rock. [ suppose.
miles. So far back at least taat
even the Smithsonian institute
men failed to reach it's utmost
recesses. The rooms have been
chiseled out along a great fis-
sure with some crude instrument.
Some of the rooms are very
large, some are mere Railways.
One room contains the remains
of about one hundred skeletons
the people seem to have all
huddled together as though some
great catastrophe had overtaken
them and they had assembled
for a last prayer to their gods
and that having been said they
there perished.
What the catastrophe was is
only in conjecture. The Indians
have a legend that these Cliff
Dwellers were at war with an
other ancient race and these
White Mountain Cliff Dwellers
having been defeated, retreated
to their cliff houses where they
were shut in by their conquerors
and there suffocated with smoke
from fires built by the invaders
in the cliff entrances.
This seems very probable as
the entrance walls are smoked.
They might, however, have been
shut in by a cavirg in of the en-
trance and thereafter exhausted
themselves in trying to cut their
way out and while doing so per-
ished of hunger and thirst.

Common Sense.

Reason is man S most precious
endowment. It is the posses
sion of reason that makes him
the roof and crown of things.
The most pitiable of all crea-
lures is the man who has lost
his reason. In the light that
reason throws upon his path man
walks securely. When that light
fails him he gropes in hopeless
darkness. Yet, strange as it
may seem, there are those who
seek to discredit human reason
and try to dissuade their fellow
men from exercising it. Con-
temners of reason, to whatever
calling they belong, are blind
and unsafe guides, But those
who, in matters relating to his
temporal we'll being at least,
seek to dissuade men from using
his reason ought to be regarded
as the worst enemies of the race.
It is only through the exercise
of his reasoning faculties that
man has raised himself from
savagery to civilization. And
the dregs of barbarism that still
survive in our most advanced
civilization owe their existance
to the fact that their right to
continue to be has not been
earnestly and seriously chal'
lenged by reason. How could
the degrading poverty and des-
titution that accuse and disgrace
our most advanced and progress
sive societies exist, if men used
their reason to search out the
cause of the hideous anomaly!
How must reason have been
stifed before men could be
brought to recognize in any man
vested right in the woes ana
miseries of his fellow men! 1t
is surely not under the guidance
Of reason that our law-ma kers
fiuelndus;ry, penalize enterprise
ana foster monopoly. Reason
would certainly guide men to

Up to date this has been the

Modes of courtship, like most
everything else, have changed.
The old fashioned lover would
give his girl candy heart that
said on it, "Will you be mine?"
The lover in the old fashioned
novel got down on his knees and
avowed abject devotion for life.
Now the men are very coy and
smooth, and have to be chased,
caught and held in spite of their

He Never Blamed the Boose,

He took bottle up to bed, drank W his
ky hot each night,
Drank cocktail in the morning but
never could get tight;
He shivered in the evening and always
had the blues,
Until he took bowl or two,
But he never blamed the booze.
His joints were full of rheumatic and
his appetite was slack;
He had pains between his shoulders
and chiIls ran down his back;
He suffered with insomnia and at night
he couldn't snooze.
He said it was the climate,
But be never blamed the booze.
His constitution was run down-at least
that's what:he said;
His legs were swelled each morning and
be often had swelled mead.
He tackled beer, wine, whisky, and if
they didn't fuse,
He blamed it to dyspepsia,
But he never blamed the booze.
He said he could not sleep at night and
always had bad dreams,
He claimed he always laid awake till
early sunrise beams;
He thought it was malaria; alas! twas
but ruse;
He blamed it on to everything,
But he never blamed the booze.
His liver needed scraping, and his kid
neys had the gout;
He swallowed lots of bitters till at last
it cleaned him out;
His legs swelled with the dropsy till he
had to cut his shoes;
He blamed it to the doctors,
But he never blamed the booze.
At last he had the tremens and he tack
led rats and snakes;
First he had the fever and then he had
the shakes;
At last he had funeral, and the mourn
ers had the blues,
And the epitaph carved for him was:
"He never blamed the BOOZE"

III 1883, first making his place of resi-
dence, We believe, in Pennsylvania.
Later he bought a farm in Monroe
county, O., where he resided for a time,
coming to Wheeling in 1850. His first
business venture was in the grocery
and provision trade. but this was only
continued for a comparatively short
Time, and during the early years of
the war, possibly a year or two before,
ne opened a place of business on
Water street. south of Twelfth, about
Where the Park Hotel now stands, and
adjacent to the old Pemberton House.
Ihere he dispensed light refreshments,
pies, cakes. etc, to a large clientele OF
patrons. and so continued until the big
IRE in that locality about 1865 swept
away the small edifices in the immedi-
ate neighborhood and threatened serl-
Gus damage to Main street property,
Later Mr.. Unruh continued the bust
ness a few doors to the south, in the
building in Which ne died, and for a

business was discontinued some dozen
or more years ago, and since then MIR.

scenes about the public landing and in
the scenery of the Ohio hills.

children, Mr.. Frank Unruh, Mrs. l.. v.

During his long life Mr.. Unruh
amassed a very considerable fortune,
being largely interested in real estate
and in various business enterprises.
