u.s." resumed Du Mesne. 1.-The Iroquois
have gone, It's true. They have wiped
out the villages which were hero.
There are little cornf1elds, but l war
rant you they have not seen a toma-
hawk hoe for month or more. The
Iroquois have gone, yet the fact that
they have been here proves they may
come again. What say you, Tete Girls;
and what is your belief, Pierre?"
Tete Girls remained silent for some
moments. "'Tis as monsieur says"
replied he at length. "'Tis all one to
me. go or stay, as it shall please the
others. There is always the one trail
over which one does not return"
"And you, Pierre?"
81 stay by my friends" replied Pierre
Noir, briefly.
"And you, Monsieur L'as?" asked Du
Mesne.
Law raised his head with an old-time
determination. "My friends" said he,
I'VE have elected to come into this
country and take its conditions as We
find them. If we falter, we lose; Of
that we may rest assured. Let us not
turn back because few savages have
been here and have slaughtered a few
other savages. For me. there seems
but one opinion possible. The light
ming has struck, yet it may not strike
again at the same tree. The Iroquois
have been here, but they have depart
ed. and they have left nothing to in
vite their return. Now, it is necessary
that we make pause and build some
place for our abode. Here is post al
ready half builded to our hands,"
But If the savages return?" said Du
Mesne.
"Then we will fight" said John Law.
"And right you are" replied Du
Mesne. "Your reasoning is correct. I
vote that we build here our station"
Myself ALSO" said Tete Girls. And
Pierre Noir nodded his assent in 81
lence.

THY HANDS ARE TWAIN.

Thy hands are twain: by one, life's bANe
Beat back. with blow on blow;
BY one, with toll, with tireless moil,
Make thou elysium grow!
While tocsins fierce reverberate;
While rocks unhewn of work await;
One hand to war must pledge;
Must swing, with one, the sledge!
Thy hands are twain: by one, let gain
Heap high thy golden store;
By one, then give. that joy may live
In lives bereft and poor!
Let no hand dare be misery
But that another eagerly
From Golfers huge and deep
May bless Gods fainting sheepi
ny hands are twain: by one. with pain
Seize fast some lofty crag;
BY one, then clasp some brothers grasI
Who else may downward drag!
Thy hands are twain for self in vain!
Thy hands despair shall grip but air
If both dare clutch the sky
And leave a brother die!

WEBSTER AND JENNY LIND.
Stirring Incident Of a Concert 1.
Which Singer and Statesmaa
Played Prominent Parts.

1t seems an odd combination OF
talents-Webster and Jenny Lind sing
ing together at public concert The
story is good one. and is to be found
in recent book, Washington, the
Capital City"
1t CHANGED that on the day of Jenny
Lind's appearance several members of
the cabinet and senate were guests at
dinner Of the Russian minister, and
the concert was half over when Web
ster and the other members of the
party entered the hall. When the ap-
plause with which they were received
had subsidized, the second part Of the
concert was opened by the gifted
Swede with Hail, Columbia"
Deeply moved by the patriotic air,
Webster. at the close Of the first
verse, rose and added his rich, So
norous voice to the chorus. His wife,
who sat behind him, pulled at his coat
tail to make him stop singing, but at
the close of each verse the volunteer
basso joined in, and none could tell
whether Lind. Webster or the audi
ence were most delighted.
AS the last notes of the song died
away. Webster. hat in hand, made a
profound bow to the singer. Jenny
Lind, blushing at the honor, courtesied,
while the audience applauded to the
echo. Webster, not to be outdone in
politeness. bowed again; again Lind
courtesied, the house applauded, and
this was repeated nine times.

and made brief exploration; not
more. as was tacitly understood, with
view to choosing the spot for the even
ing encampment than with the purpose
of selecting permanent stopping
place. Du Mesne at length turned to
Law with questioning gaze. John Law
struck the earth with his heel.
'Here!" said he. Here let us stop.
IT'S as well as any place. There are
flowers and trees, and meadows and
hedges, like to those of England. Here
let us stay!"
"Ah, you say well indeed" cried Du
Mesne. "and may fortune send us
happy enterprises"
But then, for the houses" continued
Law Il presume we must keep close
to this little stream which flows from
the bluff. And yet we must have a
place whence we can obtain good view.
Then. with stout walls to protect us,
we might-but see! What is that be-
yond? Look! There is, if mistake
not, house already builded!"
IT'S true, as I live!" cried Du
Mesne, lowering his voice instinctively,
as his quick eye caught the spot where
Law was pointing. But, good God!
what can 1t mean?"
They advanced cautiously into the
little open space beyond them, a glade
but few hundred yards across and
lined by encircling trees. They saw
indeed habitation erected by human
hands, apparently not altogether with
out skill. There were rude walls of
logs, reinforced by stakes planted in
the ground. From the four corners
of the inclnsuie projected overhanging
beams. There was an opening in the
Enclosure, as they discovered upon
closer approach, and entering at this
rude door, the party looked about them
curiously.
Du Mesne shut his lips tight to-
gether. This was no house built by
the hands of white men. There were
here no quarters, no shops, no chapel
with its little bell. Instead there stood
few dried and twisted poles, and all
around lay the litter of an abandoned
camp.
"Iroquots. by the living Mother of
God!" cried Pierre Noir.
Look" cried Tete Girls, calling them
again outside the Enclosure. He stood
kicking in the ashes of what had been
a fireplace. He disclosed, half buried
in the charred embers, an iron kettle
into which he gazed curiously. He
turned away as John Law stepped up
beside him.
There must have been game here
in plenty" said Law. There are
bones scattered all about
Du Mesne and Tete Girls looked at
each other in silence, and the former
at length replied:
This is an Iroquois war house, Mon
sieur Las" said he. "They lived here
for more than month, and, as you
say, they fed we'll. But these bones
you see are not the bones of elk or
deer. They are the bones of men, and
women, and children"
Law stood taking in each detail Vt

The bluffs, holder and more gigantic,

banks of the gentler streams which
they had left behind. Forests ranged
down to the shores, and wide, green

came marching down to the imposing
flood of Messasebe. Again the serrated
bluffs broke back and showed vast Wis

tall, waving grasses, broken by little
rolling hills, over which crossed herds
of elk, and buffalo, and deer.

Mesne one day, breaking the habitual

himself, he was nearer to- reverence

HAD A GOOD Time
President Roosevelt Enjoyed
His Trip to st. Louis.
Relief Is Felt Now That 1t Is
All Over.
J NO RELAXATION
OF the Measure for the Chief
Executives Safety
While His Special Is Speeding
Toward Washington.

Richmond, Ind, Nov. 2S.-President
Roosevelt's special train arrived here at
9:45 o'clock, leaving a few minutes la
ter. After a sojourn of two days in ST.
Louis which proved an experience thor
oughly delightful and almost unique,
President Roosevelt is now speeding
toward Washington where his train is
scheduled to arrive at o'clock tomor-
row evening. The president and all the
members of the party are congratulate
ing themselves upon the success of the
trip which was regarded by many with
serious apprehension. President Roose-
welt has expressed his perfect satisfac-
ton with the arrangements made for
his safety, and just before his train
pulled out of the exposition grounds he
congratulated and thanked President
Francis and other exposition officials
and the officers wlk1 were his personal
attendants for the admirable work they
had accomplished.
Secretary Loeb, on whom fell the
great task of perfecting the arrange
ments for the trip and for the safety
of the president, now that the strain of
responsibility so far as the visit to the
fair is concerned, has been removed, is
feeling thoroughly satisfied. Throughout
the experience in st. Louis there was
notable absence of crankS who desired
for various reasons to see the president.
One woman was taken in charge, by
the secret service men at the Thomp-
son residence Sunday evening, but she
made no trouble. Just before the train
pulled out of the exposition grounds
woman leading a Texas steer, wearing
a pair of horns with a spread of nearly
four feet, approached the presidents
car. She was stopped. TRY to lift
me-" she suggested to the officers, but
she was not crazy She proved to be
the magnetic woman who possesses the
peculiar power of preventing anybody,
however strong, from raising her from
the ground when she wills it, She had
found the steer at one of the shows on
the grounds and brought it along to
show the president. At the suggestion
of the officers she led her curious pet
away.
The trip thus far has been without
particular incident. The president ate
breakfast about o'clock. He is pass
ing the time reading and chatting with
his friends.
At indianapolis, where the first stop
was made after daylight today only a
small crowd had gathered on the sta
ton platform. The president had not
risen and the people although disap-
pointed at not seeing him, made no
noisy demonstration. Few stops Will
now be made en- route to Washington
and it is likely the president will make
no extended remarks at any OF them

SHOOTING AT ZEIGLER.
Pumping Station Is Fired Upon From
Ambush.

Carbondale. ILL.,. Nov. 2S.-The
pumping station nearly two miles from
the ziegler shaft and from which the
water to the town is secured. was fired
upon from ambush Saturday and
Sunday nights and several shots were
exchanged The Little Muddy river
supplies the water and a thick under
brush marks the banks of the stream
for a mile. In the past a lone pump
man having no connection with the
shaft or strike has been stationed here,
but now a strong guard has been de-
tailed there. No further troops have
been sent to Ziegler during the fore
noon, but Company G of this city has
been ordered to be in readiness to pro-
ceed to the scene The company may
move at any hour.
An important meeting of the United
Mine Workers officials is now being
held to consider the situation. They
will resist to the utmost any attempt
to abolish Camp Tanner, wnere the
union miners are now living. 1t is
learned that Attorney Pratt has twice
been fired on.

WAIVED EXAMINATION.
President Valentine Is Held to the
Grand jury.

Cincinnati, Nov. 2S.-The cases in
connection with the strike of iron
molders in this city were called today,
eight arrests having been made last
week. Joseph F. Valentine, president
of the Iron Molders Union of North
America, charged with aiding and
abetting in the destruction of property
at Eureka foundry, waived examina-
ton and was bound over to the grand
jury in $4,000. The grand jury meets
next week. Valentine promptly re-
newed his bond for appearance at that
time. Valentine stated that he waived
examination in order to expedite the
preliminary trial. He said the prose-
cution had already had one week in
which to prepare the case against him
and was still not ready to proceed.
1t was announced that both desired
to have the case of Fred Rauhauser,
jr., the apprentice, who confessed to
placing dynamite sticks in the molds
at Eureka foundry and afterward de-
MED his confession, heard first, young
Rauhauser being charged as the prin-
cipal and Valentine with others as aid
ing and abetting the destruction at the
Eureak foundry.

SMOTHERED BY GAS.
Kansas City Man and His Dogs
Asphyxiated in His Home.

Kansas City. Nov. 2S.-Charles d.
Webster, prominent in real estate af-
fairs, was asphyxiated by illuminating
gas from a cooking stove at his COM
fortably appointed home, 1885 Central
street. Two dogs, too, met the fate of
their master. How long Mr.. Webster
and the dogs had been dead before
their discovery by neighbors and the
police of the Third precinct at Il o'clock
Sunday forenoon is a matter for eonjec-
ture. There is both documentary and
oral proof to indicate that the tragedy
occurred as late as last Friday, but
some of the neighbors believe that it
was as far back as Wednesday or
Thursday when Mr.. Webster was last
seen about the house by them.
Mrs. Webster has been in St. Louis
several days attending the fair. A sad
incident in connection with the affair
was that while the coroner and police
were removing the body from tie house
a messenger boy arrived with teIe-
gram addressed to her husband in
which Mrs. Webster stated that she
would be home at 7:40 o'clock in the ev-
ening.

HAS A GOOD NAME.
Woman Who Was Arrested for Trying
to Reach the President.

Milwaukee, Wis, Nov. 2s.-Miss
Maria Herndl of this city, who was ar
rested in ST. Louis while trying to
seek an audience with President
Roosevelt, has an excellent reputation
in Milwaukee, Miss Herndl had
painting on exhibition at the Worlds
fair and left for st. Louis two weeks
ago for the purpose of preparing the
painting for shipment to Milwaukee
at the conclusion of the fair.
Before leaving for st. Louis on her
last trip she expressed a desire to well
known citizens of Milwaukee to paint
a picture of President Roosevelt for
the White House or to be hung in one
of the other government buildings.
She was directed to seek an audience
through one of the Wisconsin senators
or congressman.
