one could tell but little of 1t now.
Much of this, no doubt was exaggera-
ton, this talk of graveyard, OF a
doubled street, Of murders, OF the
legal killings which served as arrests,
of the lynchings which once passed as
Justice. There was crude story or
the first court ever held in Ellisville,
but of course it was mere libel to say
that it was held in the livery barn.
Rumor said that the trial was over
the case of a negro, or Mexican, or
Indian, who had been charged with
murder, and who was himself killed
in an attempt at lynching, by whose
hand it was never known. These
things were remembered or talked
about by but very few, these the old
timers, the settlers of two years ago.
Somewhere to the north of the town,
and in the center of what was de-
clared by some persons to be the old
cattle trail, there was reputed to be
visible a granite boulder, or perhaps 1t
was a granite shaft, supposed to have
been erected with money contributed
by cattlemen at the request OF Mrs.
DAILY, who kept the boarding house on
a back street. Some one had seen this
monument, and brought back word
that it had cut upon its face singular
inscription, namely:

CHAPTER XIV.
The Success of BattersIeieh

One morning when Franklin entered
mis- Office he found his friend Batter
sleigh there before him, in full pos
session, and apparently at peace with
all the world. He did not hear Frank
lin as he approached the door, and the
latter stood looking in for a moment,
amused at Battersleigh and his atti-
.ude and his song. When quite happy
Battersleigh always sang, and very
often his song was the one he was
singing now, done in low nasal, each
verse ending, after the vocal fashion
of his race, with a sudden uplift OF a
sheer octave, as thus:
"I-I-I-'d dance li-i-i-ke a fa-a-a-iree-ee-ee,
For to see ould Dunlear-e-e-e-e-e!
l-I-I-'d think twi-i-i-ice e-e-e-r-r 1-1-I-'d

For to be-e-e-e.e a drag-o-o-n."
Franklin stepped in and said good
morning. You seem in fine fettle
this morning, friend" said he. Very
fine, for an old man"
Battersleigh squared around and
looked at him soberly Ned" said
he, "yere a dethractor of inpycince

Splendid Medicinal Bath,

Here is a simple and available
recipe-a medicinal bath for the ner-
vously worn and those who cannot
sleep O. nights. 1t was the prescrip-
ton of an old physician. Take of sea
salt four ounces, spirits of ammonia
two ounces, of pure alcohol eight
ounces and sufficient hot water to
make full quart of the liquid. Dis
solve the sea salt in the hot water
and let stand until cool. Pour into
the alcohol the spirits of ammonia
and camphor. Add the salt water,
shake well and bottle for use. With
soft sponge dipped in this mixture
wet over the surface of the whole
body. Rub vigorously until the skin
CLOVIS. When nervous or blue" or
wakeful do not omit this bath. The
rest and refreshing that follow will
amply repay the effort required to
prepare it.

To test the heat of frying fat put in
a piece of bread, and if it browns
while one counts sixty the fat is hot
enough for raw materials. II it browns
while you county forty, it is right for
food prepared from cooked meat or
fish, such as coquettes. Use plenty Of
fat, and always strain it before put
ting it away.
When boiling cabbage take a large
saucepan and nearly fill it. When the
water boils fast throw in a handful
of salt and a piece of soda the size of
a pea. Throw in the cabbage and let
the water boil fast till the cabbage is
soft, keeping the lid off and constantly
putting the cabbage under the water.
Cabbage cooked fast in this way does
not smell offensive and Is a good
color.

HOW INDIANS ARE NAMED.

Have Various Cognomens at Various

Major Frank, Terry, who liz in
charge of the Indian school on the
Puyallup Reservation, Is thus quoted
by the Tacoma (Washington) Ledger:
TRANSACTIONS of Indian names, as
rule, have been unsatisfactory, though
there are exceptions. The case Is re-
ported from the Pawnee Reservation,
Oklahoma, of an Indian named Coo.

depreciation Of his name as given to
me Is 'Fearing.a -bear-that-is.wild.'
With this Interpretation the agent
named him Fearing b. Wilde AS
the Indian grows he commits acts
from time to time, each of which
gives him a new name. For example,
he may see bear and run screaming
to tepee. The folks laugh at him
and call him 'Afraid-ofa-bear.' II he
braids In his hair yellow feather
which he has plucked from the tail OF
an eagle, he may be called 'Eagle-tail,'
'Eagle.feather,' 'Yellow.tail,' Yellow

will be known as 'Givesfeather. but
II he keeps 1t, when asked for 1t. he
becomes Observation-Disclosures IL
he has more than one feather. The
plan resorted to In some quarters OF
discarding the Indian names and fit-
ting the Indians out with names that
are purely English has not worked
well, for those selected in many cases,
are names ilustrious In American his
tory, and this has caused the Indians
to become the butt of many a joke.

For the Hands.

Always rinse your hands in cold
water after having had them in water
which is more than blood warm. Dur
ing cold or windy weather it is best
always to have some preparation
handy, that it may be applied when
ever the hands have been wet. Pow

skins; it is easily applied, not at all
expensive, and does not prevent one
from going about ones homework,

begin to get sore, rub the starch well
in while they are still moist
