THE AFFIDAVITS AGAIN.

Gunnlson county republicans may
think that by importing federal Of
6ce holders from Cripple Creek to do
their dirty work they can escape con-
demuation by the voters. They de-
eeive themselves.
If YOU are inclined to believe the
democrats got Taylor drunk to secure
that affidavit examine carefully his
signature fac similes VA this column.
Look at the one he signed contesting
McDougal's seat and the one he
signed declaring republicans induced
him to do SO under false prptenees
aud the potent influence Of liquor.
1t rumored that Mr., Elwardes re-
fuses to have any thing to do with
this dirty work or TO accept the seat
after McDougal was formally elected
BY such an overwhelming majority.
That speaks well for the gentleman
but be owes 1t tohimself 30 make ru-
NOR certainty.
Why not be specific in your
charges Mr. Tribune editor? Which
one was it, 2. J Hurley, Judge
Hetherington. Henry + Lake, II +.
Ferguson. J. NJ McDpugal, W. W.
Outcalt or Wm. Dutemvre who got
Tavlor drunk? Arnt vou a bit
ashamed Of sach charges2
c. T. Sdls should go get a repu-
tation before he attempts to shift
the blame for such skull duggery on
the democratic citizens in question.
Did We say reputation? Excuse us,
character was the word. He has
plenty Of reputation to defeat his
ends now.
Judge Hethenneton swears that
Taylor's deposition taken in Taylor
exact language and sworn to before
him was a confederation Of his affi-
davit published in the Denver News
except on the one point that he did
not say that Mr.. Deering entered
the bank with him. He also states
that TAYLOR was perfectly sober at
the time deposition was taken.

DELAWARE VALLEY INDIAN.
The Peaceful Lenapes said to Have
Been the First Inhabitants
of the Land.

When the Europeans first entered
the Delaware valley they foundli it oc-
cupied by tribes Of Indians differing
quite markedly from the aborigines of
New England, for instance, says the
Philadelphia Record. Their enlight-
ened character may be surmised from
the sensible way in which they met
Penn's overtures and by the evidences
of human handicraft found in this vi
cinity. They were generally known
as the Lenapes or Delaware Indians,
and it is only recently that we have
learned what complicated nation it
was.
The Lenapes did not consider them
selves autochthonous to the country in
which they were found by the first
Europeans. On the contrary, they pre-
served comparatively clear tradition
of not very remote immigration of
the tribe into these parts. Two sepa-
rate and independent versions of this
tradition were preserved to us by
Heckewelder and by Rapinesque. Ac-
cording to these traditions. the Lenape
lived originally in distant country,
west or northwest, and much beyond
the "Namsaesi Sipu" (Mississippi) !.
For some cause they undertook long
migration eastward. A part of the
tribe, together with and much beyond
the "Namaesi Sipu," conquered the
"Alligevi," settled in towns east of the
river, and for a long period occupied
this and the adjacent country. The
Lenape huntsmen eventually discov-
cred the Susquehanna and then the
ocean, the Delaware and Hudson riv-
ers.
The date of the arrival of the Lenape
in the Delaware valley can only be ap-
proximately arrived at and has been
fixed at about 1887 or 1897.
A number of Lenape subdivisions
were settled along the Delaware and
its affluents. This river was the favor
ite and was named by them Lenape-
Whittuck, that is, the stream of the
Lenape. The names of the chieftain-
cies along the Delaware have come
down to us. Thus, the Nashamings are
remembered in the beautiful Nasha-
miny creek. The RaEkokas and the
Assunpinks also are memorialized in
the names of the streams the banks of
which were formerly their homes.

LOVE FOUND A WAY.
Railway Engineers Sweetheart Gets
Bouquet to Him with Dis
astrOus Result.

There is a saying that Love will find
a way" but whether the way is al
ways a good one seems little doubt
3Ml. On one of the trains running be-
tween Kansas City and ST. Louis is a
young fireman named Blackmar.
Sometimes, says the Kansas City Jour-
nal, he is compelled to stop over in
Kansas City, and when several days
passed and he failed to put in an APP
pearance the mistress of the boarding
house asked about him.
"He's in the hospital" said the man
who runs the engine and rides in the
cab with Blackmar. "Down in the rail-
road hospital, you know"
OF course every one sighed and
awaited an explanation.
"Well, y the engineer began, "he's got
a sweetheart, and she presented him
with a bouquet, and the bouquet did
the rest.
Halfway across the state, just out
side of MoberIy, the girl used to stand
by her fence and wave her sunbonnet
at him. That was in the spring. In
the summer, when the garden. back of
the fence began to bloom, the girl used
to make bouquets, and when the train
sped by she used to throw them at the
engine cab. Of course she always
missed, but she kept on trying.
ut seemed to hurt young Blackmar
to have the posies crushed under the
wheels, and one Sunday, when he went
calling on he they fixed up plan.
"The next day, when the train went
by, the girl had her bouquet fastened
to long fishing pole. She thrust it
at the moving train, but she was lit
tie too slow.
THE next day she was there again
with her fishpole bouquet-holder, and
this time she gave a vigorous push.
Young Blackmar was in the cab win
dow, with his mouth on a broad grin.
Well, he caught the bouquet, fish-pole
and all, and she waved him a tri-
umphant good-by. That's all there is
to that"
Caught the bouquet how?" asked
the boarders.
square IN the mouth. We took him
back down to Moberly to the hospital
on the next train, with half his cheek
punched out"
Il suppose the wedding bells will
soon be chiming?" said romantic lit
tie widow.
well, if they amt, they ought to
be. He's no beauty. doubt if there's
another girl in Moberly would have
him now.'

WANTED TO GO TO FRISCO.
An Incident of Life In Alaska when
the California Metropolis
Was a Wonder.

"In the pioneer days of Alaska" said
Capt. j. S. Criter, an Alaskan pioneer,
'San Francisco was the first place the
natives ever heard of as associated with
untold wonders. The person who had
been to Frisco and back became the
greatest man alive in the Siwash esti-
nation. 1t was the ambition of every
Indian, particularly the young men, to
go to Frisco says the New York Sun.
Zone time two missionaries got into
quarrel at Nualato, and one killed
the other. AT that time people had to
be taken to San Francisco for trial,
and this missionary was arrested
promptly and sent down there. Among
the witnesses who were taken along
was a young Siwash Indian.
when he came back he was, of
that district, and he made their un-
sophisticated eyes bulge, and aroused
envy in every native breast by the tales
he told of what he had seen at Frisco.
One young Indian became so enthu-
siastic that after thinking the matter
over, he decided to go to Frisco him
self.
"'Me go to Frisco he took to de-
claring on every occasion.
"Notlong afterward this Indian way
laid and killed white man near Cen
trail City. He made no secret of it, and
delegation of miners took him into
custody.
You kin white man p he was asked.
"'Oh, yes! Me kill white mani the
Indian replied, eagerly.
"'Why?' they asked him.
"'Oh, me kill white man: me go to
'Frisco!' he replica.
THAT was all. The missionary had
killed man and-they had taken him
to Frisco, so this Indian had simply
killed his man so they would take him
to Frisco.
"The miners concluded, though, that
to take the Indian to Frisco would es-
tablish rather dangerous precedent
in that country just then, so they took
him out in boat one night and dis
posed of him otherwise. No Indian
ever killed man in Alaska again with
the object in view of getting trip
to Frisco"

DOGS WORK IN COAL MINES.
Canine Power Employed by Ohio OPP
orators In shafts Too Narrow
for Horses.

In certain coal mines of Ohio the dog
has already been reduced to the grade
of laborer, and the utilization of dog
power in drawing cars of coal has
proved most satisfactory. As the Ger
man farmer harnesses his dog to a
little road wagon and hauls his vege-
tables to market, or the Flemish milk
man ties his mastiff to the axle of his
cart, so the Ohio miner bitches tan
dem team of dogs to cart and makes
them draw out the coal over a minia-
ture railway, says the New York Trib-
une.
The dog has been found practicable
in these mines for the reason that the
coal veins are narrow and mules are
too large. The miners themselves are
badly pinched for room, and are COM
PEELED to work oftentimes lying on
one side or half kneeling. The coal is
bituminous, and is all separated by
means of picks without the aid of
powder.
The Ohio coal mine dog not only
possesses great strength for his small
frame, but is far more faithful than
the animals ordinarily used for trac-
tion purposes. None is of pure breed,
but all have in their veins good guam
titles of the blood of the mastiff or the
bulldog. Dogs of the same team work
together harmoniously, but entertain
remarkable jealousy for those of a
rival team. Thus, when several car
loads of coal are travelling out of the
mine, one behind the other, the dogs
of the hindermost team strain every
muscle to keep up with those ahead.
The miners feed their helpmates
once a day, for a dog win refuse food
while he is working. A well-trained
animal is worth from SIS to S25 or
about the sum miner earns in a
week. Most of the miners treat their
dogs kindly, for they cannot fail to
admire the patience and faithfulness
with which they toll.

ATTENDED WEDDING.
mrs Herman KOIIisCh And Daughter Go To
Atlantic Highlands.

Mrs. Herman Kollisch and daught-
pr, Mrs. Rubenstein, attended very
beautiful wedding at Atlantic High
lands, Thursday $50 p. m.

and looked very beautiful. She car
ried bouquet of roses. The groom
was attired in conventional, black;
There were no attendants.
AS the bride descended the stairs
and entered the parlor the musicians,
who were from Red Bank, struck up
Lohengrin's Here comes the bride. "
It was almost like ascene of enchant-
uent with the sweet strains Of music
and the parlor turned into veritable
flower garden, being banked with
flowers, from which the air was delic-
iouslv scented.
After the ceremony was performed
. sumptuous full course dinner was
served by caterer with full corps
Of walters. The ice cream was in the
form of fruits and colored to repre-
sent the different kinds with leaves
and stems attached. During the din
ner the musicians disooursed the
sweetest music and as the bride and
groom passed out they played Mendels-
s0hn's march. The happy couple left
on the 4. II train from the Highlands,
for wedding trip, midst showers of
rice, some of which was showered on
some of the guests as we'll. The bride
wore an elegant dark blue broadcloth
travelling dress and white picture hat
trimmed with'a mass. of leaves. She
is a cousin to Salz g Steiner, mer-
chants in Perth Amboy.

THE AZTEC CALENDAR.
Curious Relic in the City of Mexico
That Was Carved over Four
Centuries Ago.

One of the curiosities of all ages is
built in the wall of the cathedral in
the City of Mexico. 1t is the Aztec
calendar, carved in 1912. While being
carted to its destination it broke down
bridge and fell to- the bottom of the
lake in which the city was built, kill
ing priests and people. With great
difficulty it was raised out of the wa
ter. With other objects of heather
worship it was afterward buried in the
marsh, as the best way to get rid of it,
and there it lay hidden for two CEN
turies. In 1890 the Spanish viceroy al
lowed it to be built into the cathedral
on condition that it should be pre-
served and exposed always in public
place. 1t is now, however, held as the
property of the National museum, says
the New York Press.
The'Aztec calendar is a solid piece of
stone, IL feet in diameter. It divides
time into cycles, years and days. Fifty
two years constitute cycle; the year
365 days, with five intercalary days
wholly devoted to human sacrifices.
Each year had 1S months of 90 days
each, and each month four weeks of
five days each. The days had such
names as Sea Animal, Small Pird,
Monkey, Rain, etc, and each of the 20
days had different name. The points
of the compass were named Reed,
House, Flint and Rabbit, instead of
east, west, north and south. When an
Aztec said: 81 am going House on Sea
Animal" he meant that he was start
ing west on Monday. The. month OF
March was called Victims Flayed Alive,
while July's title was Garlands of Corn
on the necks of Idols.

PERSIAN ETIQUETTE.
The Host and His Guest Go Through
q Sort OF "AIphonse and
GastOn'' Contest.

In Persia the slightest trans gression
of the rigid rules of etiquette is
deemed rather worse than crime. 1t
is the proper thing in that country to
make an afternoon call in the morn
ing, the earlier the better. A writer
in Leisure Hours tells of one occasion
when he suggested calling in the after
noon of certain day. The Persian
gentleman on whom he was TO call
cordially assented, and said he should
expect him at seven in the morning
Persian houses are, as a rule, very
simply furnished. There are neither
tables nor chairs, but only cushions
placed on the carpeted floor all round
the room. Pos sibly your host, cut
of consideration for Europeans in
ability to make himself comfortable
on the floor, has provided one solitary
high-backed chair for you to sit on.
He conducts you to it, and, bowling,
invites you to be seated in most collr-
teous phraseology, and with graceful
waving of the hands. Etiquette, how
ever, forbids you to seat yourself be-
fore he does, and it also forbids the
host to sit down before his guest is
seated. Hence, each politely declines
to sit down before the other, and
contest of courtesy ensues, which ends
at last in both host and guest seating
themselves at the same moment, the
guest on his hosts right hand.
But how about the one solitary
chair? Your instinct suggests that,
as your host has taken the trouble to
provide it for you, the most courteous
thing is to take it, But it would be
great mistake for you to do so. Ell
quette forbids you to sit on a seat
higher than that of your host. The
most polite thing you can do, there
fore, is to thank him for his kindness,
but to say that under no circumstances
could you think of sitting on seat ele-
waited above his own.
You at last succeed in sitting down
on the cushions by his side, and the
servants, at sign from your host,
remove the chair. If you were to sit
on it, they would comment most harsh
ly on your arrogance.
When you and your host are at
length seated, you bow to one anoth-
er and once more ask after one an
others health, although few min
utes ago the same tender inquiries
were made when you first entered the
room.
Your host has doubtless invited
large number of persons to meet you.
You are not introduced to those pres
ent unless they are persons of inn
portance, but you must, on ending your
inquiries as to your hosts health, bow
to every one all round the room in
turn, beginning on your right.
When the afternoon call' has
drawn to an end and the visitor rises
to depart, he probably finds that his
legs refuse to perform their duty for
a few minutes, as he has been sitting
cross-legged, an attitude dear to the
orientals, but by no means comfort
able for European. The host escorts
the visitor to the door, and he rides
away amid the low bows of number
of servants.
