PIGEON BOOST MASSACRE.
A Noteworthy Incident in lndiana's Pho.
neer History.


The legislature appropriated $1,000
for monument to mark the graves of
the victims of the Pigeon Roost Mas
sacre of 1872. The particulars of that
tragedy are related by an exchange as
follows: Pigeon Roost was a settle
ment near the present site of Vienna,
Scott county. There were not more
than IS .mee, women and children in
the settlement. At the time of the
massacre Sept 2, 1912, the Shawnee
Indians were rendezvousing for the
battle of Tippecanoe and were in
savage mood. Two men of the settle
ment were hunting bee tree on the
afternoon Of the massacre, when they
were attacked and killed by band OF
Shawnees. The sight of blood infuri-
ated the Indians and they set out for
the Pigeon ROOSt settlement. They
reached 1t shortly before shutdown, ar d
in short time had killed five men and
sixteen women and children. Some of
the Inhabitants escaped by fleeing.
After the massacre the Indians set fire
to the village and many of the bodies
OF the slain were burned. The sight
that met the returned settlers. who
had gathered company to avenge the
murder, was one never to be forgotten
The village had been laid low and in
addition TO the charred bodies OF some
of the dead, the bodies of many of the
children were found propped up
against trees and pierced with arrows
and others who had been held by the
feet and dashed to death against the
trees or the log houses. The remain
ing settlers we're prevented from
avenging the deed by reason Of a swol-
len stream that blocked their pursuit
Of the Indians. The victims were
buried in two large graves, and the
place is sometimes called >SOdom Gem.

graves have had only simple mark,

The Face of VerIaine.

An anonymous writer in To-Day
tells an interesting anecdote of visit
paid by Gladstone to little bookshop
near the Odeon in Paris. AS he en-
tered Gladstone saw a strange looking
man in conversation with the book
seller and carrying an old copy Of VII
Ions poems. His dress was ragged
and dirty, his face was matted with
hair and he had the eyes of an arch
angel, with the mouth and jaw Of
balloon. Nevertheless the respectful
attitude of the bookseller showed that
the man was a personality. Gladstone
entered into conversation with him
about Villon and for an hour they
talked about early French poetry. Then
the stranger shuff1ed out of the shop.
who is that gentleman? asked Glad

knowledge Of French poetry Mon

Major Pond, the lecture manager,
was long anxious to secure Rudyard
Kipling as a platform star, and Kip
ling took the assaults Of the persistent
manager in good part. Here is his re-
ply to a proposition:
Brattleboro, VT, Sept. 80, 1885.
Dear Mr.. Pond-I am much obliged to,
you for your letter, but / can't say that
I can see my way to the entertainment
you propose. There is such a thing as
paying 125 cents for a dollar, and though
I suppose there is money in the lecturing
business it seems to me that the bother,
the fuss, the being at everybody's beck
and call, the night journeys and so on
make it very dear. I've seen a few men
who've lived through the fight but they
did not look happy. l might do it as soon
as had two mortgages on my house, a
lien on the horses and q bill Of sale on
the furniture and writer's cramp in both
hands, but at present I'm busy and con-
tented to go on with the regular writing
business. You forget that have already
wandered over most of the states, and
there isn't enough money in sight to hire
me to face again some of the hotels and
some of the railway systems have met
with. America is a great country, but
she is not made for lecturing In. With
renewed thanks for your very kind letter,
believe me, yours sincerely,
RUDYARD K1PLING.

"This maid" he said, chad just come

habits was always to come downstairs

Moorish Baths.

In Spain, while the Moors were in the
ascendency, luxurious hot baths were
established. They were used in con-
nection with the religious rites of Is
lam. The Islamites were required to
battle frequently. The manner Of
bathing was as follows:
After undressing, the bather is wrap
ped in a wooden coat, sandals are put
on and he walks to the hot bath. After
a thorough hot bath all parts of the
body are rubbed. The soles of the feet
are rubbed with pumice stone, then the
body is anointed with oil and sprink.ed
with perfumed powders.
When the Moors were driven out Of
Spain the first thing the people did was
to destroy the Moorish bath houses.
This was done because of religious
prejudice against the Moors.

One of his biographers declares that
if he had searched the whole kingdom
the evangelist John Wesley would
hardly have found a woman more un-
suitable than she whom he married.
She did not even confne herself to her
tongue in her attacks. More than once
she laid violent hands on him. "Jack,"
said John Hampson to his son, II was
once on the point Of committing
murder. 1t was when I was in the
north of Ireland and I went into a
room and found Mrs. Wesley foaming
with fury. Her husband was on the
floor, where she had been trailing him
by the hair of his head, and she her
self was still holding in her hand VEN
cradle locks which she had plucked out
by the roots. felt" continued Hamp-
son, who was a giant of a man, though
not one of Wesley's warmest friends

the soul out of her"-Everybo dy's
