ladies were all correspondents of East
ern and Southern papers and were pre-
pared for the worst.
Beyond, we saw Indians in their ca
noes, and thought to reach them, but
they, too vanished. In their stead, we
saw a mountain rise in a lake of sill
YER Great birds of different hues
seemed to hover over the lakes beau
tiful trees, with fantastic forms, hung
over the water. The mountain seemed
to move and as ii moved, its summit
was crowned by great ball of blue
fire, which was surrounded by halo
of light. We were astonished to see
the mountains nearing us. OF course,
we knew IL was an illusion, but when
the mountain top appeared to break off
and to be falling upon us, our nerves
were quite unstrung. The ladies were
almost Frustrated. We knew that
storm was brewing. so we fastened
back. The storm broke before we
reached Dead Mans Pass, the lightn-
ing flashed on all sides of u.s. forming
in crosses, stars, halos and other fan
tastic forms. The thunder clashed from
wall to wall and seemed to tear the
mountains and the very atmosphere.
Upon our leaving the valley feel
ing of relief came to us, and we all
agreed that If 1t had not been named,
we certainly would call 1t the Jim Jam
Valley" We all had one feeling, and
that was that we would never care to
go TO the valley again. And yet, there
is a fascination about the desert, and
those who lived there always want to
return 1t is only fair to say that the
same kind of land. known as the des-
ert. is now growing the orange, the
lemon. and other tropical fruits in both
California and Arizona. 1t is man that
changes the face of nature.
When we take into account what
has been done in this great American
desert, and wonder what will ever be-
come of II all. we are reminded of the
phase of all the Indians of the West
when asked a question they do not
care to answer, "quien sabe"-who
| knows?

A STORY OF QUAY.
How lie Narrowly Escaped Being a
Southern Man.
From the New York Press.

From the New York Press.
Senator Quay came within an ace of
being a Southerner by adoption, Just
as the great Seward did. Seward was
actually settled for life in Georgia, but
when his Southern sweetheart Tilted
him he returned to New York and made
his home in Auburn. his soul full of
bitterness toward his fellow men in
Eatonton, Ga. Quay, when a youth
just out of college. II years of age,
went to Madison county. Mississippi,
with a chum of the name of Griffin,
whose parents, sister and brother lived
on fine plantation on the Big Black
river, a noble fork of the Mississippi
Here the jefferson College graduate re-
manned one year, boating. hunting, fish
ing, watching the cotton grow, and,
incidentally, falling in love with Miss
Lizzie Griffin, the lovely daughter of
the house.
Fired with ambition by the half
promise of a reciprocal love, young
Quay set out for Shreveport, La. to
study law. He was accompanied by his
Fidus Achates, Griffin, and their deter
mination was to gain admission to the
bar as soon as possible and begin the
practice of law together, the firm name
TO De GfltIln a quay, attorneys and
counselors, etc. But hardly had they
begun their studies when Griffin was
informed of the sudden death of his
father. This sad event necessitated his
immediate return to the plantation,
whittier he was accompanied by Quay,
who was still a pensioner on the boun-
ty OF his rich friend. Affairs OF love
were knocked into a cooked hat, and
Quay, provided with funds by his chum,
returned TO his home in Pennsylvania,
finishing his legal studies at Pittsburg
lie was admitted to the bar In 1854
and year later was appointed pro-
thonotary OF Beaver county. That was
his entrance into politics.

A writer in the Indian Sporting
Times gives some details of the depre-
dations of tiger in various villages
during the famine year. In the course
of his remarks he says that for a
whole year the monster continued his
depredations almost without molesta-

and the village herds suffered severe
ly. The local forest ranger was in a
state of terror, and had written to his
superior in terms much as follows,
showing the difficult situations in
which he compiled his reports: FEB.

Chicago AnthropoIoGist Seeking for
the Cause of Them.

the Cause OF lhem.
From the Philadelphia Record.
Chicago, ILL.,, July 16.-There are
over so persons in Chicago who pos
sess more than their usual allotment of
fingers on their hands or toes on their
feet, according to Prof. Frederick
Starr. of the University of Chicago,
and these individuals are to be the spe-
cial subject of investigation by the
well-known professor of anthropology.
With them the investigator hopes to
gather from other parts of the coun-
try a sufficient number of cases to
make up a total of 500 before he be-
gins a systematic study of the history
and formation of each member, and TO
make scientific deductions and formu-
late theories. Already photographs,
plaster casts and wax impressions of
$50 cases repose upon the professors
laboratory shelves, all carefully tagged
and recorded.
Present Theory Unsatisfactory.
There are feet with six toes, seven
toes and even eight toes. and inter-
sperscd with them appear hands pos
sessing six. seven, eight and nine fin-
gers. Some OF them are as perfectly
formed as a member which possesses
only the usual number OF digits. but
again there are some which are badly
formed and grotesque in appearance.
Prof. Starr has undertaken this work
because he Is dissatisfied with the
only two theories which have been adj
vanced To account for these phenom-
ena in nature The first theory. the
professor asserts is In reality not
theory but a name. This Is called
dichotemy and refers 10 the tendency

plain the tendency.

Munford, Tenn. Jan. II, 1898.

Gentlemen Regarding your Planta-
ton Chill Cure, take pleasure in saying it
"beats the world" Heretofore in my neigh
borhood there were at least half dozen
kinds Of chill cures, but your preparation
has supplanted them all, and nothing else is
sold IN this vicinity but your Chill Cure.
The only trouble is that the medicine seems
to cure everybody permanently, which is an
objection to the merchant. Years ago,
when selling various chill preparations,
they would temporarily cure my customers,
but yours cures permanently, bad luck
to it," l have sold the cure for three years,
and only had one bottle returned under
your guarantee. Yours truly,
