INDIAN AND BUFFALO.
How the Latter Turned Hunter ana
Chased the Red Man.


A retired officer of the Northwest
mounted police who took part in Mis-
souri, buffalo run forty years ago de-
scribes the impression at the time as
of an earthquake. The galloping
horses, the rocking mass of fleeing buff
falo the rumbling and quaking of the
ground under the thunderous pound
Ing, were all like violent earthquake.
The same gentleman tells how he once
saw wounded buffalo turn on an In
dian hunter. The mans horse took
fright. Instead of darling sideways to
give him a chance to send last finish
hg shot home the horse became wildly
unmanageabIe and fed. The buffalo
pursued. Off they rushed, rider and
buffalo, the Indian craning over his
horses neck, the horse blown and
tagged and unable to gain one pace
ahead of the buffalo, the great angry
beast covered with foam, with eyes
like fire, pounding and pounding, closer
and closer to the horse till rider and
buffalo disappeared over the horizon
''To this day / have wondered what
became OF that Indian" said the OIL.
Ger, sfor the horse was losing and the
buffalo gaining when they went behind
the bluff This incident illustrates G
trait seldom found in wild animals, q
persistent vindictiveness.-A. G. Laut

Washington, Dec. 27.-Borax-fed
boarders at the government bureau of
chemistry are beginning to show the
effects of their medical diet. Just after
eating their Christmas dinner six of

crease in weight. The officials refused
to give out any information about the
matter.
Christmas was not the big day In the

dinner were on hand, including turkey

Christmas spirit was lacking.
"You can't have borax and Christmas

boarders. 'Borax is all right by itself,

Football and the Priest.


story is told OF a Maryland priest
and his advice to q penitent, which per-
haps ought not to get to the ear of
an austere Bishop, but which is gem
in its way:
The penitent was q young theological
student, who was also a football en-
.thusiast, and the commander of a team
engaged in q very hot contest The
game was tie, depending on grand
rush to secure the victory. 1t was a
man-to-man contest and the youthful
Bishop in embryo, with all the fire of
those militant churchmen of old who
rode in armor with blazing eyes into
the thickest of the fight, cried out to
his squad: DO your d-st! Do your
d--st!"
But when the exultation of victory
had passed off and calm reflection had
restored the youngster to his normal
state of mind conscience troubled him
as it has troubled many another man,
after giving away to the excitement OF
the flesh. He felt that he had done
wrong and should atone for 1t. In his
trouble he went very penitently to a
priest who had witnessed the exciting
struggle on the college campus and was
hardly done rejoicing over the result,
for he was hacker of the side which
won. The conscience stricken student
apologetically said: Father, I fear
that in my excitement 7 did very
wrong, and said things that I should
not have said"
What did you say?"
II urged our side to do their d-st,
What penanee should do?"
well, do your d-st!"

ISOLATION of the advice were gratifying

NOTED NOVELIST DEAD.
Author of "Lazarre" Expired Last
Night in Chicago.

Huthor OF LaLdFrS E-SPiiSo @aSs
Night in Chicago.
Chicago, Dec. 27.-Mrs. Mary Hart
well Catherwood, author of 'Lazarre, :"
and a large number of other works of
fiction, died last evening at her home,
1862 Washington avenue, after an ILL
ness of several months. During the
early part of October, the first serious
symptoms of Mrs. Catherwood's illness
asserted themselves. Shortly after this
Mrs. Catherwood underwent an oper-
alton for cancer This proved ineffect-
ual. the disease returning and finally
ending her life.
At her bedside when she died were
Miss Hazel Catherwood, her 1S-year-
old daughter; her nephew, Robert Ca
therwood: Mrs. Robert Catherwood,
Miss Naomi Catherwood, and Hrs. r,
H. Parkinson. Mrs. Catherwood's
death occurred on the twenty fifth
anniversary of her marriage.
Mrs Catherwood was an incessant
worker, and it is said her eagerness to
complete the novel upon which she
was at work helped to aggravate the
| the disease and hasten her death. The
publishers had contracted for the book
some time ago, and it was Mrs. Gather
woods hope TO have 1t completed in
! March. The unfinished work was a
romance of life at New Harmony, Ind.
where a colony was founded by Robert

She did not attempt book until
1881, when she wrote her first novel
| "Craque-' Doom. 1t was a story OF
the French people as she knew them in
Canada and the Mississippi Valley. II
was followed by Rocky Fork "old

The Quality of Mercy as Exercised

Caesar travelled with the retinue OF a
man Of rank, and on his way TO
Rhodes he fell in with an adventure
which may be something more than
legend. When he was crossing the
Egean, his vessel is said to have been
taken by pirates. They carried him
to Pharmacusa, an island off the Ca
rian coast, which was then in their pos
session, and there he was detained FOR
six weeks with three of his attendants,
while the rest of his servants were
sent to the nearest Roman station TO
raise his ransom.
The pirates treated him with polite
ness. He joined in their sports, played
games with them, looked into their
habits and amused himself with them
as well as he could, frankly telling
them at the same time that they would
| be hanged.
The ransom, a very large one, about
10000. was brought and paid. Caesar

HEPBURN FINDS FAULT.
Saws Canal Commission Has Made Fat
places for Favorites.

Places Tor FdVStfASSs
washington, Dec. 27.-The DAY con-
gress adjourned for the holiday recess,
Representative Hepburn of Iowa, chalf-
man of the committee on Interstate anu
foreign commerce, introduced reso-
Intion calling on the secretary OF state
for a list of the officials and employees
Of the Panama canal commission ana g
statement of salaries and expenses OF
the whole commission and It's en-
Moves. The REPLY is expected to cause
a sensation. The act authorizing the
commission appropriated Sl0oo,ooo lcf
salaries and expenses. President Walk
err has drawn in the three years that
the commission has been in existence
$4,000 a year as secretary, and eacn
OF his associates has drawn $4,000
year. The commission has not yet spens
the last half OF the S1,000,0eo.
Tt is charged by Mr.. Hepburn that
the commission has made places for the
sons OF army and navy officers and Of
senators and Representatives and others
prominent in political and social life,
and has given them pay far beyond
their availability for any practical p,ir-
nose. 1t is believed that there has
been a LAVISH outlay, altno eSeiy .Siis
may have been spent within the lines
Of law.
The disposition to make waste of a
large special and. in a sense, a con-
fidential fund, allowed by congress, II
Il is claimed, will be disclosed by the in
quiry, and there will no doubt be a
discussion in the house and senate
which will criticise certain members
and call halt on the tendency to
play fast and loose with government
money in the construction OF the canal.
Senator Morgan discussed the disburse-
ment of canal funds recently, saying
that he had been unable after months
of effort to secure a list of salaries
paid.

Tutelary Trees.

Ancient people had their tutelary

to their belief, dared not approach it.
Hence the women left their children
