CAVE LIKE FAIRY PALACE.
Discovery I'm Montana Mountains Of
Cavern Containing Strange and
Beautiful Figures.

While prospecting in the mountains
a report from Anaconda, Mont, Frank
McKinnon broke through the earth
into one of the most peculiar caverns
ever discovered in this section. Nc
Kinnon had sunk a shaft possibly 20
feet. Suddenly the earth gave way
|beneath his feet and he was precipi-
tated into great underground
chamber.
Filled with stalactites and stalag-
mites of all kinds. the place was q
veritable fairy palace. The only
opening into or exit from the cave
seemed to be the opening into which
the man had fallen. In the cave was
a small lake and near this were the
skeleton of man and the bones of
a mountain lion. Cold drafts passed
over the lake continually, showing
that it was connected with, the out
side world. yet the closest search
failed to reveal the opening.
McKinnon, who was accompanied
by friend, made an inspection of
the cave and was later pulled to the
surface with rope.
1t has been known for long time
that there was something mysterious
about the mountains where the cave
is located, as the Indians cannot be
induced to go there, claiming the To-
cality is haunted.

In the grocery division of big de-

making an exhibit of new prepara-

front of her were little plates. These
she filled from time to time with
freshly cooked samples, which she
passed out free to customers who
wished to try them.
One man, a lean, dyspeptic looking
person, had emptied his dish with
evident relish, ana the young w.om-

him with her most engaging smile.

INDIAN TERRITORY's CAPITALS
There Are Five I'm All, One for Each
Tribe, Yet No Proper
Capital.

Here is common geography mis-
take corrected, says the Chicago In
ter Ocean:
"The educators of the Indian terri
tory should endeavor to educate the
various school-book publishing COM
panies in regard to the capitals of
the Indian country" recently said
Tams Bixby, chairman of the Dawes
commission. Every geography pub
lished has Tahlequah as the capital
of the Indian territory. The maps
Of the territory in these biographies
show scarcely any other towns. But
Tahlequah is always played up in
heavy black letters. with the star
representing the capital. 1t is about
time that authors of Biographies
knew something of the geography of
the Indian country, and the educa-
tors here ought to draw their atten-
ton to the inaccuracies of the text
books on geography.
"As a matter of fact the Indian
territory proper has no capital as it
is not a regularly organized terri
tory. 1t is simply the Indian terri
tory.
''The seat of government is Musko-
gee. Each of the five civilized tribes,
however, has capital. Tahlequah is
the capital of the Cherokee nation,
Okmulgee of the Creek nation,
Tishomingo of the Chickasaw nation,
Wewoka of the Seminole nation, and
Tuskahoma of the Choctaw nation"

AN UNFORTUNATE FILTRATION
tually Disposes of a ToO-Atten-
tive Male Passenger.

"There is nothing" he thought, ''like
a quiet little Irritation to pass away the
time on'a railroad journey"
Then he looked about him to see if
any one of the opposite sex seemed to
have similar views, and his eyes were
gladeped by the sight of a pretty
young woman, writes Elliott Flower,
in the Brooklyn Eagle.
"She'll do" he decided, and present.
ly he caught her eye. There was neith-
er repulse nor invitation in the glance
she gave him, so he decided that it was
all right. Nothing but an outward
show of anger or indignation will dis
courage such a man.
Presently he moved over to her seat.
Again there was neither repulse nor
encouragement.
"It's all right" he told himself, and
he opened the conversation.
whats the next station?" she
asked idly.
He told her, and the information
seemed TO give her some amusement.
She laughed quietly, and then let him
continue his silly compliments. She
did not return them, but she kept
looking at him with an amused smile,
as if she enjoyed the situation in
some way that he did not understand.
He redoubled his efforts to force some
recognition of his alleged gallahtry,
but he failed.
"What is 1t that amuses your" he
asked finally.
81 am thinking" she answered, "of
what will happen when we reach the
next station"
"Why?" he demanded.
"My husband is to join me there" /"
she replied. He'll be delighted to
meet you, I know, for he hasn't had
any recreation lately"
''Any recreationl"
Sand he's a man of violent temper
as well as great energy" she went on.
"He needs exercise
Helooked atsher anxiously. She was
still smiling.
"I'm sorry" he said, "but get on
at the next station"
won't you wait a moment, just to
meet JUMP" she asked.
"l--J don't believe I can," he re-
turned.
'.He'll be very anxious to see you
WHEN I tell him all about this" she
urged, "and he won't detain you long.
We're just slowing for the station
now"
The man who felt the need of little
pleasurable excitement to drive away
the ennui of travel hastily picked up
his grip and slipped out the rear door
of the car. Somehow he thought he
would prefer to continue his journey
on the next train.
It wasn't until he had been left
alone on the platform that it suddenly
dawned upon him that no man had
boarded the train at that point. As
for the girl, she was still smiling when
she picked up her book to continue
her reading. And no man joined her.
"But, then, as she afterward told a
friend in recounting the experience,
ga girl doesn't need a real husband to
protect her from annoyance, if she
only has sufficient originality to in
vent one ut the proper time"
