CrawIs Over His Feet, aud HoStiIs
Indians Run Away
Among the earlier colonists in New
England was one, a most devout man,
a preacher, whose zeal soon led him
to go as a missionary among the red
men of the forest. Although the In
dams lived all about the little settle
ments of the whites, this man decided
to 90 far into the wilderness and to
live entirely among the rude people,
to whom he wished to preach the Cos
pei So he took his tent and set il
up at a place many miles from the
nearest white mans town. He learn
ed the Indian language and every day
preached to the unlettered SONS of the
forest. At length the Indians became
alarmed at the encroachments of the
whites and decided to rise and mas
sacre them. The lone missionary
could hardly hope TO escape. One
night several Indians. with their tom
ahawks, started forth to kill him.
They crept silently up TO the tent and
peeped in. There sat the good man.
pouring over his Bible by the light or
a flaming pine knot. The Indians
raised their tomahawks to strike him.
when their arms fell helpless to their
sides A huge snake feeling thu
warmth of the fire that glowed near
the missionary. glided out Of his hole,
crawled harmlessly over the mission
ary's feet and disappeared. The In
dams turned and fed. feeling sure that
they had witnessed a miracle. The
Great Spirit, they said was the friend
of the good man and had preserved
his life from the fury Of the poisonous
reptile In the bloody war that fol-
lowed the uprising of the red men the
good missionary was left unframed,
no Indian daring to touch him. This
story. said to be true was told for
many years afterward by the colo
nists of New Elgland.-Chicago Rec

SAYINGS and DOIkGS
SPefffe and Pretty Belle.

One Of the popular young women in
the administration set is Miss Edith
Root, the only daughter Of the secre-
tary of war and Mrs. Elihu Root. Miss
Edith is a fine horsewoman, as she
should be, considering that she is the
presiding angel of all the brave sons
of Mars stationed at the capital. 1t
was of her that General Miles said last
winter that usually it required an Off
cial command to make the officers call
at the home of the secretary Of war,
but now, as the present secretary had
a charming daughter, he presumed he
would have to issue stern orders to
keep them away from the secYetary's
home at times when they should be on
duty
Miss Root is rather petite, but grace
full and well formed She has glorious
dark eyes and hair that the "seVen
sisters" could envy. According TO her
own story Miss Edith is still heart
whole and fancy free, but there are Tu-
mors and they concern a gallant SOL
der lad who goes more frequently to
the Root mansion than official obliga-
ton requires. This young girl is full

He had threatened such visitors
with the tongs, it is true; but pinch

With his heart beating almost to

words died upon his lips, and his
throat felt parched and hot.

heaped upon people of the Jewish race,
brings prominently to notice a condi-

From the testimony of many Jews
who are engaged in the humber pur-
suits it appears that they are subjected
not only to insult and abuse, but even
to assault while peacefully going their

CITY PEOPLE CURIOUS.
ColOred Mans Song Nearly Blocks
Traffic In New York.


1t was only a song, and an old one
at that. but it came near causing a
block on the Broadway cable line the
other day. The singer was as black
as the coal in the cart he was driv-
ing, but that fact cast no shadow on
his exuberant spirits. AS he swung
his chariot from Broadway into Cort-
landt street he raised his voice, says
the New York Mail and Express. Then
the trouble began. When the notes OF
"Old Black Joe" rang out high and
clear above the din of traffic express
sions of blank amazement overspread
the faces of the hurrying pedestrians
who thrOnged the sidewalks Necks
were craned in a vain search for the

until a long line of trucks extended

drivers might ascertain the cause OF

must be taken to let its rim project
