TRAGEDIES WHICH SURROUND A
LOST GOLD DEPOSIT.

Mollie FoNwater, an Indian Squaw, Fur
nished Her Husbands with Plenty of
Money, But Murdered Them when
They Tried to Find the Source.
This is the story of n lost gold mine
and the tragedies that surround it,
writes the Wichita CKano correspond.
ent of the Chicago Record. a few days
ago an Usage Indian woman. Fox
water 10y name. was arrested at Tulsa
and placed in Jail on charge of having
murdered four white men who have

she said she was compelled to slay

Mollie FoXwater is not an ugly.

squaws are, but she possesses many
of the refining features of her white
sisters She has been well educated
and has also Travelled much. Ten
years ago she was married to a young
man by the name of Mercer. He came
from Illinois to the Indian country.
There had always been more or less
romance surrounding this maiden and
the fact that she possessed a secret
OF lost gold mine was enough to
cause any young man with romantic
tendencies 20 seek her out. Merter did
so 10 his sorrow. He was married 10

plenty of money TO spend and did not

Geographical Names Out in Arkansns.
A commercial traveller recently re.
turned from trip through Arkansas
was speaking the other day of ths
nomenclature of the towns and coun-
ties of that state. "As township

popular as a name ending in creek
There are Beech, Mill, Barren. Dutch.
Long, Big. Peter, Clear. Pierre. Flat
Crooked, Sugar and Day creeks scat
tered through the state as townships.
There are Eagle and War Eagle town
ships, and one is named after Grover
Cleveland. Yell Is both a township
and county name, but the people are
not particularly noisy in those places,
in spite of the name. Many names
are reminders of the old French oc-
cupation, such as Petit Jean, Terre
Noir, Fayette, Lagrue, De Bastrop and
St Francis, names of townships.
Sugarloaf seems to be popular name
for towns in Arkansas, why, l do
not know; and one community calls
itself by the intensely prosaic name OF
Railroad. Colonel Bowie. he OF the
celebrated knife, has his name per-
petuated by township name, and SO
has Daniel Boone and Bryan. The
population of Arkansas is now nine

the increase has been slow in the last
decade compared with previous ones.

So far as these things go. the dweller
in the city tenements Is often in Il far
worse condition than the savage in his
hut or his cave. The latter at least
may enjoy some privacy of life when
he desires 1t, and pure air and water
are not denied him; neither must he
and his family, whether they like it or
not, be in constant contact and asso-
pulsive vices that disgrace and de-
grade humanity. But for the masses
in our cities our boasted civilization
Has nothing better to offer than the
tenement, where neither pure air nor
pure water are obtainable, nor scarce
~ anything else which common de-
cency and right living demand.
Tenement blocks in New York where
from ten to forty persons of all ages
and both sexes are found huddled to-
gether in small, filthy rooms without
light or ventilation, without beds or
closets-blocks where there Is not n
single bath tub nor n single square
yard of ground space for child to
play in-these are things which make
the surroundings of Zulu savage
seem enviuble in the comparison.
That vices and crimes in the vilest
forms known to man. hideous poverty
and loathsOme disease should develop
and increase under such conditions is
not surprising. The far greater mar
vel is that SO many actually survive
the influences of such awful dens and
in spite of them rise to n pure and tru-
1y noble manhood and womanhood.-

Paul Ansdell was right in his sur

snow resolved itself into q perfect

brought to a standstill. TO-
Fortunately they were close to a
prairie station when the stoppage took
place.

the young Englishman eagerly said.

GLADLY must have heard her hus-
bands urgent whisper, and yet she
spoke not syllable. Silently and wist-
fully the girlish bride was gazing up
into the dark face of Paul Ansdell. 1t
was as though her soul was dumbly
questioning that of the man who had
saved her life. ......
Dear, say something," In the low
cred voice of Gervis there was n per-
emptory note. He was annoyed at his
wife's extraordinary awkwardness as
much as he was puzzled. What could
the man think Of her? The thought
crossed his mind as he took GLADLY
cold, small fingers in his to encour-
age her. But Paul's attention as well
as Panl's eyes were being given to

out the use of the handlebars.
This clever rider commences by
mounting in the usual way, and by
riding to the spot where a bicycle has
been already placed upon the ground.
This she reaches on her left side when
the left pedal is descending. She takes
advantage of this favorable moment
to stoop and catch hold of the bicycle
by the left handle; quickly swinging
it up. she then transfers her grasp
to the middle of the handlebar. A
revolution of the pedals brings her
within reach of the second machine
lying to the right. Coming to halt,
she balances herself on the led bicycle,
the tires of both front wheels touch
ing, repeating the above operation
with the right foot, and raising the
second machine in a similar manner.
The resumption of pedaling is very
difficult matter, partly on account OF
the cranks being in an unfavorable
position for that operation, and also
because the front wheel has ten
dency 10 SWING around and collide
with one of the other of its neigh
bors-a tendency which, if not smart
ly checked, would cause bad fall, as
the rider has no means of saving her.

ward movement have been overcome,
great care must still be exercised to
avoid ENHANCEMENT of pedals with
steps, spokes or each other, and in
terlacement of handlebars. The rider
charges and executes circles very pref
tily, although the skill required to de-
termine the exact relative positions
when each machine must describe a
different length of curve is of very
high order of merit.-Cincinnat Com

LARGEST DOG IN AMERICA.

seven feet four inches, and he tips the
scales at 2S5 pounds.
He stands nearly three feet in height
and he measures round his girth SO
inches. The circumference of his brass
collar is 30 inches, and hi. foreleg meas
ures 161. inches.
Nero is very fond of the fair sex, and
is a special favorite with ladies and
children.
But when strange man approaches
his kennel, in Judge Bailey's back yard,
let him beware, for Nero is not partial
to strangers. One day a peddler Wis
tied the judges house, and when Mrs.
Bailey refused to buy of his wares. he
threw himself in a fit of rage upon
the floor. Mrs. Bailey called Nero. and
with a bound the mastiff came to her
rescue. The peddler went away in a
hurry.
Nero's daily rations consist of big
pan of corncake and milk. This is his
only meal, and, strange to say, for so
large dog he has a light appetite.
Judge Bailey has been offered large
sums for Nero, but has never shown
any desire to part with him.
In Rutland Nero is a prime favorite
with all who know him.-Youth's Com
