tom HORN HISTORY.

Tom Horn, who paid the penalty
on the scaffold last Friday for the
cold-blooded murder of a boy is said
to have been a typical westerner
and was. perhaps, the toughest man
in all Wyoming. He bad a record Of
many murders, and the entire coun.
try was afraid of him. He was not
a loud man, but was n of those
quiet, dangerous kind.
after Horns arrest for the
Nickel murder, the details Of which
have been exploited in the papers,
the history of his past life became
we'll known. Horn was known as q
cattle detective. He was hired by a
big cattle combine to drive out the
smaller ranchman, and he did drive
them out without any %hesitancy.
He has killed several of them, and

Correspondence.

the Indians were her people, and
that her children were there. When
first brought into the presence OF
the governor she declared she was
not white, but Indian, although her
complexion is light; with blue eyes,
and hair either light or gray. After
being assured that she was not to
DO disturbed she talked more freely
and said that her father was white,
but her mother was ar Indian. The
Indian story in regard to this wo-
mar is that as a mere babe she was
the only one left alive Of an emf
grant party which was attacked
far south of here, and that she was
adopted into the tribe. This woman,
although white without = doubt, has
lived all her life, so far at her mem
DRY runs, among the Indians, and is
one in all her traits and characterize
tics, and while her relatives OF years
ago mourned her loss with those OF
the party which her parents we're
travelling. and no doubt would have
done oil in their power to take her
from a life of sayagery, at that time,

How Lacy Stone Managed

What would the modern Vassar or
Wellesley girl do If, in order to get her col
Iege education, she were obliged to hustle
in the way Lucy Stone did. It is told that
when Lucy Stone said she wanted to go TO
college her father turned to his wife with,
rs the child crazy" He would give her
no financial help. The young girl had TO
earn her own money, and she did Il by the
painfully slow method Of picking berries
and chestnuts. She taught district schools
studying and teaching alternately. 1t took
her until she was twenty-five years old
to earn the money ITO carry her to Oberlin,
then the only college in the country that
admitted women. on the passage from
Buffalo to Cleveland she could not afford
a stateroom, but slept on deck on a pile
OF grain sacks. among horses and freight.
She earned her way through the prepara-
tory department Of Oberlin by doing
housework in the ladies' boarding hall at
three cents an hour. The college furnished
its students, most Of whom were poor,
with board at 81 a week. but Lucy Stone
could not afford even this small sum, and
during most Of her course she cooked her
food in her own room, at a total cost of
less than 50 cents a week. She had only
one new dress during her college course
a cheap print-and she did not go home
once during the four years.

Perfect hygtenic conditions are among
the things upon which the physicians In
one OF the new tuberculosis Fanatoriums
rely for effecting a cure, almost as much
as upon the fresh air and abundant food
that are prominent feature Of the regl-
men. In this fact lies a suggestion for the
many people afflicted with tuberculosis
who cannot go to a sanatorium TO be
cured, but must remain at home and cure
ithemselves as best they can. Bathing is
an important item at the sanatorium In
question. Believing that the Immunity Of
Southern peoples from tuberculosis Is
largely due to the necessity for frequent
bathing, the directors have made bathing
a pleasure, and the patients bathe two or
three times a day just for the fun Of It.
Then, the bed linen is changed three times
a week. The uncarpeted floors are wiped
over every day with a moist cloth, 10
catch every speck Of dust, and of course
the round corners Of the hospital are to be
found everywhere. Brc-a-brac is for
hidden, for dust has a knack OF settling on
Il, and dust is not sanitary. That the
apartments are thoroughly aired at al
times goes without saying.

'McGuffey's New Fifth Reader
Found in some dusty nook;
and worn and tattered,
A yellowed, faded book,
with checkered cotton cover
OF careful stitch and fold.
Let's turn the ragged pages
And see what it may hold.
They've raised the school room win
dow
My, but the sky is bluel
And there's a pigeon strutting,
With melancholy coo;
And over there a hillside,
Where leafy, spreading trees
Wave arms in useless summons
With every passing breeze.
OF Yonder is an orchard
Don't you catch the perfume
And hear the teacher thank us
For that biz bunch Of bloom?
The buzzing sounds Of study
And writing-can't you hear?
And see where all the bad boys
Have good seats at the rear?
Now, let your head drop slowly
And look awayr-away-
Straight through the open window,
Through all the miles Of day,
Across the signing meadow,
And down the merry brook,
Which babbles of its travels
Through tempting field and nook.
The old school bell! You hear it?
And don't it bring to you
The lazy early mornings
When flowers dripping dew
Smiled knowingly and Haunted
] Their banners in your way?
It's all in this Fifth Reader
Which you have found today.
