MISS STONES CASE.
Some Sort of Commpnication Seems
to Be Maintained.

Washington, Dec. S.-All that can be
gathered here touching Miss Stones
case is that the reports from Levant
are to the effect that some kind of COM
munica ton is being maintained, though
very indirectly. between Miss Stones
captorS and the people who are seeking
to secure her release 1t is believed
that up to this point the missionaries
themselves have been the only persons
able to keep open the line of commu-
Mica ti00.

himself to go to Buffalo and court
death by killing the President.

when Thomas Hughes, the Tom Brown
of the school life. was a pupil there.
and in Passages in a Wandering
Life gives his recollections of the
boys hero.
Tom Hughes at fifteen was tall for
his age; his long. thin face, his sandy
hair. his length of limb and his spare
frame gave him a lankiness of aspect
which was the cause. 1 suppose, of the
boys giving him the extraordinary
nickname of "executioner."
No name could be less appropriate,
for there was nothing inhuman or mo
rose or surly in his looks, and still less
in his disposition; the temper of bully
was utterly alien from him. and he was
always cheerful and gay.
He was one Of the best runners in
the school, and many a time have l
seen him in the quadrangle just before
''hare and hounds"-he being one of the
hares-lightly clad, and with a bag Of
scent" strapped around him.
He was too keen-eyed and observant
to be specially popular, but all the
small boys liked him because he was
kind and friendly to them. He reach
ed the sixth form, but left before he
had risen high in it, feeling, no doubt,
that his work lay elsewhere.

seem, with the exception of the anarch-

he has no hesitation in saying that he
is weak minded. Leon, he says, was a

A RnttIesnake,s Wisdom.

The writer Of this rode bronchOs and
punched cattle on the ranges of
Montana and Wyoming twenty years
ago, and had an ample opportunity to
study the habits of rattlesnakes. He
knows how they went into their holes
then and it is doubtful if any improve
ment has since been made in their
method. They start in head first, and
one would promptly come to the con-
clusion that they reach the bottom of
their holes in this manner; but Mr..
Snake is too willy to keep his head
where he cannot have an eye on the
rest of his body. Therefore. as soon
as he enters the hole few inches he
makes a half turn which brings his
head to the entrance again and then
permits the remainder Of his length to
glide down out Of sight. A very sim
pie performance, you will see.

Hon. David Mcekison is well known.

out America. He began his political
career by serving four consecutive
terms as Mayor of the town in which
he lives, during which time he became

was elected ia the Fifty-fifth Congress
by very large majority, and is the ac-
knowledged leader of his party in his
section of the State.
Only one flaw married the otherwise
complete success of this rising states
