The Shepherd Memorial Fund.

With almost $4,000 subscribed practi-
cally without solicitation for the Shep-
herd memorial, that enterprise is in excel
lent shape for an appeal to the public of
the District for subscriptions. The state
ment which has just been prepared by the
committee in charge of the matter will
upon its thorough circulation doubtless give
the movement a decided impetus and dem
onstrate the practical interest that the peo-
pie of the Washington which Alexander R.
Shepherd rescued from the mire take in
any project for his commemoration. This
is a great object, and it deserves and will
unquestionably be given a corresponding
support by the public

Purely Selfish.

I claim no philanthropic aim
My fellow man to bless;
Yet this monopolistic game
Occasions no distress
When, 'mongst the little fish I quail
While big ones own the sea,
I ask myself and then turn pale,
"Will there be room for me?"
I only seek to occupy
A corner very small,
But men possessing much will try
Somehow to get 1t ALL
The question chills my bubbling mirth
And chokes my gurgling glee;
When J. P. Morgan owns the earth
viii there be room for me?

Today begins a time burdened with the
fate of Mr.. Balfour's cabinet, and of Mr.
Balfour himself as a leading statesman.
Parliament resumes its sittings and takes
up the education bill. There may be really
more important topics before it, There is
the settlement Of grave issues of the war in
South Africa. There is the perennial Irish
question. which threatens to be more acute
years. There are always the army and
navy. and the cry that they are men of
straw and ships Of cardboard There Is the
great question of British commercial SUI
premacy. which Is said by some to be in
danger. There are the American trusts.
All these and many more might well be
supposed to rank high in Importance But
all these fade into insignificance before the
question of the schools

rs GOOD INDIAN NOW.
Love Led Allen Walking Shield to
the Gal1ows.
Hanged for Murder of His Sweet
hearts Old Mother-Three Years
at Carlisle Changed the
Girls sentiments.

Allen Walking Shield, a full-blooded
Sioux Indian, was hanged at Sioux
Falls, South Dakota, the other day
because the white mans Civilization
cstranged his sweetheart, and be-
cause his attempt to elope with her
ended neither his way nor hcr
mothers.
Walking Shield wore till his death
long, native hair and wrapped a gaudy
vermilion blanket about him when he
slept in his tepee; so he didn't under
stand why Mabel Ghost-Faced Bear
wore strange clothes when she came
back from Carlisle Indian school, and
why she looked over his head when he
sought to claim her. But he tried the
white mans way-went at dead Of
night to get her and carry her away
into the Bad Lands. But it went
wrong, for her mamma, Mary Ghost
Faced Bear, intercepted him and he
shot her, and now is dead that his
sweetheart might have retribution.
Ten or IL years ago, when Walk
ing Shield was but q reckless,
stalwart boy, the Indian maiden adj
mired his prowess and the two became
friends. Walking Shields native rest
lessness found vent when he robbed
the store of Sylvan Winter, the post
trader at Ever Brule agency. With
tools passed to him by the Indian girl,
he sawed his way from the Jail. He
ran to safety amid the bullets of the
guards, jumping from side to side in
zigzag fashion as an Indian does when
trying to avoid the marksman's aim.
Walking Shield was now a hero
among the Indians, and the officers did
not rearrest him, fearing an uprising.
Six years ago he and his brother were
put in the Deadwood Jail for stealing
cattle. His brother committed sui

had worked with the boy declare it to
be one of the strangest cases in all
their practice affirming it to be almost
impossible for tack to remain for
that length of time in a persons
throat.
The tack itself was brass carpet
tack about half inch long. Cecil
had swallowed it when he was four
years old. Efforts were made at the
time to remove it but without success.
Later he began to complain of irrita-
ton, and then the chronic bronchial
trouble developed and caused him suf-
fering for years. His parents natural
ly are rejoiced at the outcome.
"We feared the boys health never
would be good said Mr.. Hull. "It
seemed that the older he grew the
more frequent and more violent be-
came the paroxysms of coughing. The
strange thing in connection with his
case is the fact that none of the ply
sicians who examined him were able
to give a reason for his affection. They
could not declare his lungs affected,
and yet he had the cough which is
considered a sure symptom. When he
started to cough in the paroxysm
which brought out the tack, began
to fear the end was coming right then,
it was so severe. The outcome is most
fortunate"

eide, and one night Walking Shield
struck out for the foot hills, and was
not recaptured.
While these adventures injured his
social standing among the Sioux in no
way nor the affection of the girl for
him, they were not pleasing to Mrs.
Ghost-Faced Bear. Mabel was told in
the "ki-vi talk never to see her lover
again. Red blood runs under red skin
as well as white, and Mabel Ghost
Faced Bear whispered to Allen Walk
ing Shield she would go with him to
some far hunting ground. Walking
Shield rode to the cabin lodge one
night, but Mrs. Mary Ghost-Faced
Bear expected him and the girl was
locked in her room.
The next day Mabel was taken to the
agency and the outgoing stage carried
her away to the Carlisle Indian school.
1t was three years after when she
came back. She was different girl.
Half-civilized now, she shuddered at
Walking Shields deviltry. She would
have none Of him. Walking Shield
went to his tepee and smoked long at a
pipe Of kinnilinick. It was Mrs.
Ghost-Faced Bear who kept the girl
from him. Mrs. Ghost-Faced Bear
must be pushed away. He decided to
wait.
The night Of May last the skies
were black with tumbling clouds. The
gurglings Of the approaching storm
drove the red men to their tents. But
Walking Shield did not sleep. AT mid
night he saddled his broncho and rode
away to cabin lodge of Mary
Ghost-Faceo Bear. In front Of her
door ne stopped. The lightning
flashes and the eXpostulations Of the
thunder excited his pesulant blood
and he was soon half crazed. Sudden
ly he lifted his Winchesterto his shoHl-
der and fired through the door.
There was startled cry within, and
moment later the Indian saw in a
fash of yellow light the woman's face
at the door. She swung it shut, bolted
it and hurried away. Walking Shield
fired through the back window and
the woman fell dead.
A moment later Walking Shield was
rousing the girl he sought. Some
body shot at me as passed the tepee,"
he painted. "Your mother has gone
| for the police"
ssBut what was that noise?" asked
| the girl, as she passed her mother
gasping on the floor.
! cts nothing; just the splitting of
the lightning" he urged, as he stepped
outside and closed the door.
ST won't go. / want to know who
| shot," demanded the girl.
For answer the powerful Indian
clutched her about the waist, lifted
her to the pony's back and rode away
down the nearest gulch. But week
later he gave himself up.

So he had the old fireplace taken from
the farmhouse, with its hanging

and set up in the graveyard in a

Thus the fireplace stands, a coz

UNIQUE TOMBSTONE.
The Old Fireplace of the Maine
HunneweIis Set Up in Cemetery
Over Their Graves.

The most remarkable gravestone in
all Maine, if, indeed, it's like can be
found anywhere, is in the Hunnewell
family lot at Windham, where a great
old-fashioned fireplace serves instead
of marble or granite shaft.
The Hunnewells have for two and
half centuries been the foremost
people in Windham, and many of the
family lie buried in this cemetery.
Recently Charles III. Hunnewell, the
present head of the family, decided to
erect monument in the cemetery
lot.
He decided that the old fireplace

By way of preliminary to his swim
across the channel, Holbein essayed
recently to lower the record created
by Inflated Capt. Webb for the swim
between Dover and Ramsgate, a dis
tancS-of 20 miles if direct course
could be followed, but probably not
less than five and twenty allowing
for the deviation caused by contrary
tides and curreSts.
The swimmer failed by some four
miles, the bad weather and the rac-
ing tide against him making any at
tempt to reach Ramsgate futile. He
refused, however, to leave the water
until he had swan back to Deal, and
SO completed the exact distance be-
tween the coasts of England and
France. Had the conditions re.
manned favorable there is no doubt
that he. would have beaten the eS-
