INDIANS WERE HOMESICK.
Two Navajo Bucks who Didn't Care
to Lin3er In the Metropolitan
Midst.

w. r. johnson, an independent mis-
sionary among the Navajo Indians of
northern Arizona, was lately spending
a few days in Kansas City looking after
business connected with his work. He
brought with him two Navajo bucks
with the usual unpronounceable
names. She-She-Nief and Peshla-K XII
Et-Sette are the suspicious titles of
these braves, the former meaning
long man of his tribe" and the latter
signifying 1.-The silversmith."
The two Indians accompanying Mr..
johnson, says local report, intended
to remain here for some days taking
in the sights, but were finally over
come by homesickness and requested
the missionary to send them back to
their squaws and sheep.
Mr.. Johnson says that there are
about 10000 Navajo Indians in north
ern Arizona. Over third of them live
on their own or rented land and draw
no money from the government. These
Indians are poor, but independent,
and do not depend upon Uncle Sans
bounties for a living, but earn their
daily bread mostly by raising sheep
and making Navajo blankets, which
have become famous throughout the
clothing markets of the United States.
Although civilized in many of their
customs, the Navajos live in little
novels consisting of a framework Of
poles covered by dirt.

APPLES AS LIFE-SAVERS.
Sixteen Persons Adrift on q Raft Sus-
tanned for Four Days by Two
Carefully Divided.

That ancient joke of the small boy
who replied to another who asked for
the core of the apple he was eating,
"There amt goin' to be no core" late
ly had practical, almost tragic,
illustration in the case Of n survivor
of the British steamer Elingamite,
wrecked off the coast of New Zealand,
says the Washington Star
When the raft carrying them pushed
off from the vessel on Sunday it car
ried 16 persons, and the food supply
consisted of two apples. One of these
was eaten on Tuesday and the second
on Wednesday, each being divided
into 16 portions. The famished peo-
pie were rescued on Thursday. They
attribute their salvation to those two
apples. Think of that, you buyer of
fruit from the corner stand, to whom
a couple of apples are only a bit OF
dessert after lunch. Think of 1t,
youngsters, who munich your apples in
luxury of undisputed ownership and
glow with pride of generosity when
you permit a playmate to take a bite.
Think of it, too, you cooks, who pare
apples with an artistic indifference
to the thickness of the Feelings and
the cutting out of the core and bad
spots" The apple should take on a
new and economic aspect in the eyes
of all who read Of that trying expert
ence in the south seas.

their roughness may possibly give to
others the impression Of Pelee's era.

Then the half breadth that is folded

GIFTS OF THE WEST.
Out OF Her Bounty Have Come Lee
erS Of Nation which Con-
Guers the World.

The west gave to the world such
types as the farmer Thomas Jeffer-
son, with his declaration of independ
ence, his statute for religious tolera-
ton, and his purchase of Louisiana.
She gave us Andrew Jackson, that
fierce Tennessee spirit who broke
down the traditions of conservative
rule, swept away the privacies and
privileges of otiicialdom, and, like a
Gothic leader, opened the temple of
the nation to the populace. She gave
us Abraham Lincoln, whose gaunt
frontier form and gnarled, massive
hand told of the conflict with the for
est, whose grasp on the AK handle of
the pioneer was no tirmer than his
grasp of the helm of the ship of state
as it breasted the seas of civil war,
writes Friedrich j. Turner, in Atlantic.
She gave us the tragedy of the pioneer
farmer as he marched daringly on to
the conquest of the arid lands, and met
his first defeat by forces too strong
to be dealt with under the old condi-
tions. She has furnished to this new
democracy her stores of mineral
wealth, that dwarf those of the old
world, and her provinces that in
themselves are vaster and more pro-
ductive than most of the nations of
Europe. Out of her bounty has come
a nation whose industrial COMPETE
ton alarms the old world. and whose
masters of her resources WELD wealth
and power vaster than, the wealth and
mower of kings

1t is not generally known that in

In northern parts Of Sweden earth is

OLD ROAD-HOUsE TRAGEDIES.
Kentucky HOAtelry That Had Fur
nished Accomm dations for
Many Noted Men.

On the turnpike leading to Louis
vile, about Is miles north of Bards-
town, there stood for years an old
house that had an interesting his
tory. The house was erected IN 1871,
many years before there was any
pike through this part of the state,
and was used as tavern and a stop
ping place for the stage coaches
when a change of horses was made.
1t had frequently for its guests such
men as Henry Clay, Richard M. John
son, John c. Breckenridge, Judge
John Rowan, Gov. Charles a. Wick
life, and many others of note. In
the early twenties the inn passed into
the hands of Capt. james Camp, who
continued to run it as tavern.
While living there Camps wife was
riding horseback with several others
and was thrown from her horse and
killed. This was the beginning of
many tragic happenings afterward
connected with the place, says the
Bardstown Ky) Standard.
A few years after this traveller
named John Reynolds stopped over
night at the inn. AS he failed to APP
pear the next morning, servant was
sent in search of him. Being unable
to arouse him he entered the room
and found Reynolds stiff and cold i'll
death. He had shot himself during
the night. A few years later the
old tavern became famous for its
lavish style of entertainment. 1T
was frequently the scene of great
festivities.
During the progress of ball one
night tragedy occurred which
shocked the whole country for miles
around. Two young men, Robert
Harris and William North, were
suitors for the hand of Capt. Camps
daughter. Harris, on account of
wealth, social position, and good
looks was the favored sutton, which
so enraged North that he determined
to seek revenge.
Harris, who was baldheaded, wore
a wig. During the evening in ques-
ton while the guests were dancing
North approached Harris, who was
dancing with Miss Camp, snatched
off his wig, and threw it upon the
floor Harris uttered not a word,
but quickly turned upon his heel drew
a Spanish dagger and plunged it to
the hlt in the heart of North, who
fell to the floor.
The tragic event brought the ball
to a sudden close. Harris had the
sympathy of the entire community
and public sentiment was so in his
favor that he was never even arrest
ed for the deed. The crime over
Swallowed his life. He never married,
avoided women's society, and became
recluse.
About a year later stranger
named Golson stopped at --the old
tavern for the night and was assigned
to the room in which Reynolds had
taken his life. A few hours after
retiring the report of gun was
heard and upon investigation it was
found that Golson had shot himself
through the heart. 1t was afterwnrd
ascertained that Golson had lost
heavily at cards in Louisville and, be-
coming respondent, ended his life.
He was n native of Nashville and was
on his way to that place.
Other incidents of tragic nature
occurred at the old inn, and it was
finally deserted and fell into decay.
At this time only a few moss-covered
stones and a heap of earth mark the
place where the old building stood.

Colorado Range Outlook.

It has been the. general impression
that Colorado would have but a light
run from the ranges in this state this
season. This idea has been based
upon the fact that the run last year
was exceedingly heavy and the winter
was long and hard. In addition to this
there were comparatively few cattle
sent into the western part of this
state this season. However. reports
coming from the. western part of the
state from those who have been in
vestigating. would indicate that the
run will be nearly. II not quite. as
heavy this fall as last. While the run
last fall was heavy. 1t was not nearly
as heavy at 1t might have been II the
railroads could have taken care OF the
cattle. This season the grass is good
and larger percentage Of the cat
tie will be fit for beef than usual On
top OF this there Is none too much hny
In sight any where and majority Of
the cattlemen are preparing to ship
out as closely as possible.
One feature indicated Is an unusual
" large number Of cows for slaughter.
The exact cause of this il not clear.
but there seems to be Z disposition to
clean UP all the old stock this season
and by December there will be fewer
cattle in western Colorado than there
have been In year.
