AN INFANTILE TRAGEDY.
Little Girls Twelve-Year. Old Uncle Tenn
porarily Broke Her Heart.

There was another infantile trag-
edy up town few days ago. The lit
tie girl whose heart was temporarily
broken is four, with great round
brown eyes. She owns as many dolls
as she can count-a happy family of
doll children of all kinds and sizes.
She had tiny china dolls no bigger
than her thumb and great waxen i'm
ages almost as large as herself. She
has dolls that walk, a doll that says
"Pa-pa," ballet doll, a japanese
maiden, lady from gay old Paris.
In the midst of all these beautiful
creations of the dollmaker's skill,
says the Washington Star, there is
one poor lonely creature, rag doll,
homemade, a pickaninny. And to
this sad-faced, plainly arrayed dolly
the tenderest affections of the little
girl are attached. She clings to her
"Dinah" and plays withhermore per-
haps than with all the others put to-
gether. She nurses "Dinah" through
serious spells of illness, she mends her
ragged clothes and attempts occa-
sionally to wash her dirty face, which,
however, only adds to the appear
ance of utter deprayity which hangs
about this poor old parcel.
The little girl has an uncle, a
youngster of II, maybe, and he was
the unwilling cause of the dire dis
aster that befell his muchly beloved
and tiny bit of a niece
With tears streaming down her
plump red cheeks, and a look of ut
ter woe in her big, round eyes, the
little girl came wailing to her mother
the other day. "Dinah" was being
pulled helplessly along by one of her
arms. Something terrible had hap
pened.
"What is it, little girl?" asked the
mother in alarm. Then through the
tears came the truth of the tragedy:
so, mudder," she cried, "Charles
called my beautiful Dinah dirty
thing "

TORPEDO BOATS.
Compared with Battleships for Effective.
ness as Fighting Machines.

Not many years since it was
thought by some that it was better to
build 80 torpedo boats costing $780,
600 than one battleship costing
$5,000,0O0 No doubt the tor
pedo boat, with her deadly torpedo
representing subaquatic ordnance),
if she can lay out the game in ad-
vance, can get the better of the bat
tleship. But the view is prevalent
now that, while there should be some
torpedo boats, the bulk of the money
and effort put into naval and coast
defenses should go into battleships
and Notifications. The battleship
can go anywhere, while the torpedo
boat, because she cannot carry much
coal, is tied to the home port, and in
bad weather, when the battleship is
comparatively steady, the torpedo
boat would, at any speed, tear herself
to pieces in the heavy seaway. In the
same way, in land defense, the bulk
of the money and effort Is now put
into permanent defenses and field ar

TALL MAN AND SHORT MAN.
Object to Walking Together But Do 1t
lust the Same.

Walking with a short-lcgged man
is one of the most tiresome things in
the world, said the man with lengthy
limbs, according to the New Orleans
Timcs-Democrat, "and somehow il is
always my lot to fall in with a man of
this build when | have any consider
able distance to walk. Why this is
so ! do not know, but it is so never
theless. Other men, built as | am,
have told me the same story, and
have declared that walking under
such circumstances is the most la
borious work Imaginable. ! have had
some military training and this
thing of keeping step Is natural to
me. | simply have to keep step, no
matter who | am with or under what
circumstance. Imagine fellow with
legs like mine keeping step with a
man whose head scarcely gets to the
pit of the arms! Yet do it. Under
ordinary conditions one of my strides
would make six for the man of the
size indicated. so | am forced TO cut
one step up into six parts. Can you
imagine anything more tiresome,
more physically eXhausting? If
there is anything worse in this re-
spect | have failed to find it and vet
this is exactly the thing | am con-
stantly forced to endure" Said the
man with short legs: Did you ever
walk around with one of these fell
lows who parade around on stills with
which nature has provided them?
Tiresome? Well, | should say so.
Most tirtsome thing in the world.
One likes to keep step, you know, and
yet a man of my build is forced to do
a hop, skip and jump turn in order
to keep up. These long legged fell
lows simply run me to death, and
somehow it always falls to me to be
thrown with a man with legs like
telegraph poles" And few mo-
ments later the long man and the
short man were walking down the
street "side by each" as the Dutch
man would say.

SNAKES HARD TO STARVE.
Live Incredible Length of Time with
Nothing TO Eat.

The man who tries TO starye a
snake to death is in a bad way said
the man who has had some expert
ence in dealing with reptiles, to a New
Orleans Times-Democrat reporter,
land | happen to know what | am
talking about because of little thing
that happened to me a number Of
years ago. There is really no telling
how long a snake can 20 without
food. 1t is estimated that a horse
can live % DAYS without solid food.
\ horse will live on water for that
length Of time. Bears can live fol
Fix months without food. They gen.
orally live through the winter
months by sucking their paw OF
course, they have some food on hand,
and they slip out to get what they
can. but the main sustenance of the
bear is the accumulated flesh of the
summer. But | am inclined to be-
lieye that the snafe can hold the rec
ord when it comes to doing without
food. | had an experience a few years
ago which convinced me of this fact.
| caught a rattlesnake in my hen
house in the southeastern part of
Arkansas, and happened to catch
him SO that he could not get out.
There was a good-sized rathole in the
place, and he darted into this as a
last resort. | stopped the hole so the
snake could not get out and for the
purpose of starving the reptile to
death, ! never thought any more
about the snake until more than Is
months after that, when | had occa-
sion to make some repairs about the
place. 1t was necessary to do some
excavating. | was simply startled to
find, a short distance below the sur
face, the snake which had sought TO
starve to death. He was a little lank
and was not very active, but lie was
stillalive. felt very sorry for the rep
lillian, and would not kill him, allow
ing ITO craw away. Since that time
| have been convinced that a snake
could do without food for consid-
cradle length of time, and the claim
that they can go Fl months does not
startle me at all, for the snake in
this instance | am sure never had a
bite to eat during the time he was in
the rathole."

Fasting Serpents.

serpents, but it is not often that the
reptile enjoys the advantages pos
Sessed by great japanese python
which has just paid its debt to ma
ture in the Museum of Natural His
tory in Paris. 1t arrived at the mu-
scum in the fullest health and
strength on November II, 1899. 1t
was about eight feet long, of brilliant
coloring, enormous diameter, and of
singularly aggressive disposition.
Its keepers soon found that it was a
teetotaler of the most consistent
character. Geese, ducks, sheep, hens
every conceivable dainty was of
fered, but in vain. 1t passed away
on August 20, 1902, after voluntary
fast of two years nine months and

whence the noise proceeded found
an old Chinese woman, terribly

that when the city was taken

PHASE IN ETHNOLOGY.
Mr. James Mooney Investigates Early
Portuguese Settlements.

ISAtuSutSe
Mr.. James Mooney. who has Just
returned from Indian territory,
where he has been making a study of
the Kiowa tribe for the bureau Of
ethnology, has also, during his career
as an anthropologist, done consider
able work in the way Of investigating
the Portuguese settlements along
the Atlantic coast of the United
States, subject about which less is
known than almost any other phase
of the modern ethnology of America,
says the Washington Post All along
the southern coast there are scat
tered, here and there, bands of curl
GUS people, whose appearance, color
and hair seem to indicate a cross or
mixture of the Indian, the white and
the negro. Such, for example, are
the Pamunkeys, of Virginia; the
Croatan Indians, of the Carolinas;
the Malungeons, of Tennessee, and
numerous other peoples who, in the
days of slavery, were regarded is free
negroes, and were Frequently hunted
down and enslayed. Since the war
they have tried hard, by act of legis-
lation and otherwise, to establish
their Indian ancestry.
Wherever these people are found,
there also will the traveller or in
yestigator passing through their re-
gion encounter the tradition of
Portuguese blood or descent, and
many have often wondered how these
people came to have such tradition,
or in view of their ignorance, how
they came to even know of the name
of Portugal or the Portuguese. The
explanation is, however, far simpler
than one might imagine. In the first
place, the Portuguese have always
been a sea-going people, and, accord
ing to Mr.. Mooney, who has looked
up the subject, the early records of
Virginia and the Carolinas contain
notices of Portuguese ships having
gone to wreck on the coasts of these
states, and of the crews settling down
and marrying in with the Indian mu-
| lattoes.
Moreover, there are records of
Portuguese ships having sailed into
jamestown bay as early as 1865, and
since then there has been more or
less settlement of Portuguese fisher
men and sailors from Maine to Flor
ida. Now it has been the history of
the Portuguese race that wherever
they settled they mixed in with the
darker peoples forming the aborigi-
nal population of the countries oc-
cupied by the Portuguese settlers,
and this is the reason and cause of the
Portuguese admixture among the
tribes along the coast of the United
States.
In further proof of this he calls at
tention to the case of a colony of
Portuguese fishermen who settled
on the coast of Massachusetts, a few
years ago. These settlers have moth.
ing whatever to do with the white
or Yankee population around them,
but are intermarrying and intermix-
ing among and with the small rem
nant of the Narragansett Indians
who have survived down to the pres
ent day. In short, it has been the
history of the Portuguese that wher-
ever they settled along the Atlantic
coast they have intermixed and in
termarried with the remnants of the
Indian tribes that were once the sole
proprietors of that region.
