Holding Up q Bank.

Perhaps the first Confederate bank
raided by Union soldiers was one at
Charleston, Va, as SIilroy was making
his way up the Shenandoah valley
Drumming" was in its infancy then,
but dozen of the fellows found them
selves ahead of the army and resolved
to strike for big stake. They made
u sudden attack on the town at day
light and then dashed in and made for
the bank. They broke in the door with
IN ak, obliged the banker to unlock his
safe and something like S600,00O was
carried away as they retreated.
A day later they bundled up 100000,
strapped 1t on the back of an old lame
mule and hired a farmer to deliver the
'wealth" to General Milroy in person.
Accompanying the money was note,
which advised the general to bribe the
Confederates to keep ahead of him and
do no fighting. As his military maneu-
vers had been checkmated right along
and his reputation was under cloud
II was a hard shot at him. The story
got to Washington and was commented
on by President Lincoln, and 1t has
been asserted that the presidents lev
ity caused the general to tender his
resignation.

THE HONEST INDIAN.
Leaves His Cache In tho Woods with
out Couceaiment.

The honesty of the woods Indian
TINT is. the Indian of northern Canada
is of very high order. The sense
of mine and thine, says Stewart Ed
ward White in the Outlook, is strongly
forced by the exigencies Of the North
Woods life A man Is always on the
move. 1t Is impossible for him to
transport all his goods. The imple-
ments OF winter are burden In sum
mer. The return journey from dis
tant shores must be provided for by
food stations. The solution of these
needs is the cache.
And the cache is not literal term
at all. 1t conceals nothing. Rather
does It hold aloft In long-legged promi-
npnce. for the inspection of all who
pass, what the owner has seen fit TO
leave behind A heavy platform high
enough from the ground to frustrate
the investigations of animals is all
that is required Visual concealment
IL unnecessary, because in the North
Country a cache Is sacred. On 1t may
depend the life of a man. He who
leaves provisions must find them on
his return, for he may reach them
starving. and the length of his out
Journey may depend on his certainty
of relief at this point on his in-journey
So men passing touch not his hoard,
for some day they may be In the same
case. and a precedent is bad thing.
Thus In parts Of the widest coun-
tries of northern Canada E~haye I'M

The Grand Canyon.

Once, crossing Il l,te tributary OF
the Colorado, | found that every drop
splashed on my clothes hardened to a
lump of mud and that where the va.
ter was but foot deep my horse was
nearly washed away by its force.
That fact, Roger Pocock says in an
article in Pearson's, told me the secret
of the Grand canyon. Like the Nile,
the Colorado flows through desert,
but the river of Egypt meanders softly
and muddily over low plains, spread.
ing when it is full into harmless lakes,
whereas this headlong sluice of run
ming sand, launched at the naked
rocks, has the cutting powers of a huge
steel saw. The country has risen per-
haps an inch a year, but the torrent,
instead of spreading out over the land,
has sawed through the lifting rocks.
The country has risen to a height of
5000 feet, while still the Colorado
flows at the ancient level, only 1900
feet above the sea. That is the reason
of this profound abyss for 600 miles
through the very foundations of the
world. In all, 36,000000 cubic miles of
solid rock have been ground in this
vast mall and hurled into the gulf OF

The serious problem OF the civillza-
ton OF the red man sometimes devel-
ops an amusing side. Bob -tail-Coy-

from his reservation In the West clad
In buckskin, and speaking only his
mother tongue.
He remained during the stipulated
time. gradually becoming white man
to all intents and purposes. But no
greater transformation was manifest
ed, when he returned to his people,
than that of his name. which had
evolved from the savage "Bob-tail
Coyote" to that which appeared on his
neatly engraved visiting card: Rob

The use OF titles is becoming more
and more common In the transaction
of corporation business, says the Elec-

had this brought to his notice the
other day In an unusual manner.
He found on his desk a memoran-
DUN that certain man had called to
see him, and had left word that he
would return later. The information
was signed, "Richard Emerson. o. b."

tia. General Oliver took part In the
Civil War as volunteer and was af-
terward commissioned in the Seven
teenth United States Infantry. He
was later transferred to the cavalry
service. In which he did good work
during several Indian campaigns. AT
ter leaving the army he moved from
Boston, where .he was born fifty-s
years ago, to Albany, with the civic
life of which city he has since been
closely identified. IN 1870 General
Oliver was married to Miss Marion

The Misses Oliver are very good look

have spent much time abroad with
their mother completing their educa-
ton and are also fine athletes, being
at home in golf, tennis and equestrian

social and official Washington Will
