In the walls Of Fort Garry. RiePs
confederate divulged to Mr.. MacFar-
LAM that after Scott's murder a grave
had ,een dug within the fort and a
coffin supposed to contain the body
lowered into it in the presence of a
battalion of Riel's soldiers. But
Scotts remains were not in that cof-
fin, the mock interment being but Il
ruse of Riel, who did not choose to
trust so many of his followers with
this knowledge and the evidence of
his cruel crime. SO, after a mock in
terment, the body was dragged by a
few trusty men to the bank of the
Red River and at a point near where
Broadway bridge now stands was put
through a hole in the ice and sunk by
means Of a weight tied about the
neck. This weight was a Hudson Bay
grindstone. Mr. MacFarlane believes
that an investigation will reveal this
grindstone and perhaps the bones of
Scott

she said.
Now it was right smart of General
Bragg to form two streaks of fight in
our dooryard with walking soldiers
and then he got General Joe Wheeler
to line up one streak of fight with
critter soldiers cavalry behind the
house.
But just as our side was ready to
whip the Yankees, General Sherman
sent Joe Hooker up, and he fit again
the end of the two streaks of fight in
our yard instead of in front of them.
and made General Bragg fall back.
Il don't think General Hooker had
any business coming up that way
when he was expected on the main
road"

WHERE SCOTT WAS BURIED.
Man Executed by Louis RieI SINK in
the Red River. 49,

Man Executed by Louis Riel Sunk in
the Red River. 49,
For thrty-fOur years the question
has been asked in vain, when Thorn
as Scott was shot by order of Louis
Riel in the Red River rebellion of
1S69-70. where was the body buried?"
1t has been generally believed that
only Riel knew what disposal was
made of SCOTS body, and that when
Riel was hanged at Regina as the
penalty of melting the rebellion Of
1885 the secret died with him, says
the Toronto Globe But old-timers
have never accepted such a theory,
believing that others besides Riel knew
the secret if they wanted to tell, and
their surmise turns out correct, for
now, after thirty-four years of silence,
one man who witnessed SCOTS execu-
ton and the disposal of his remains
has told the tale.
This man, who was one of Riels Of
ficers, is to-day a well-known Manito-
ban, but there are reasons why his
name should not be given. The gen.
tleman to whom he revealed the Sc
cret is Roderick MacFarlane. formerly
chief factor of the Hudson Bay Com
pany and a citizen of Winnipeg. Mr..
MacFarlane authorizes the use of his
name and is hopeful that steps may
be taken to establish the authenticity
of the story. When at the grave of
Pierre Deschambault he met among
the people there assembled his inform
ant. who was, as already stated, one
of Rieps officers and who had been
with him in old Fort Garry at the
time OF SCOTS execution. Mr.. Mac
Farlane, it may be explained, was at
that historic period visiting Chief Fac
to, AIacTavish, whose house was with

WORK JUST AFTER EATING.
Tension of Mental Effort Sometimes
Disastrous.

Disastrous.
1t has long been known that a man
is not at his best for hard mental work
directly after a hearty meal, but the
real dangers of work under such con-
ditions are perhaps not only in the
arteries of the body, but also, in all
probability, in those of the brain and
this makes it easy for a weakened
point to give way.
We recently have had a striking in
stance of death from apoplexy occur
ring in a prominent physician while
making an after-dinner speech, and the
notable death of William Window, a
few years ago. under similar circum-
stances will be remembered; and still
other cases might be mentioned. Tie
danger from this cause has not been
recognized, but when we remember
that these public banquets involve a
pretty hard ingestion of food and a
consequent rise of blood presence. It
need not be wondered at that sudden
deaths from 'apopleXy" during after
dinner speeches are often recorded.
Apoplexy is a well known possibility
of mental strain; the weak point may
be unknown to the subject himself and
not revealed by any objective symp-
toms. The individual may have passed
a life insurance examination success

reported to have been the case with

WAS DONE BY POWERFUL MEN.
That County Fair Candy that Was
Pulled Over a Hook.

People who resided in Western towns
in the days following the civil war
doubtless remember the candy pullers
who followed the fair circuits, making
delicious taffy (red, yellow, white.
strawberry, molasses, or vanilla) at
every country fair. They sold this
candy, not by the yard, but by the
half foot or quarter of a foot, and very
good candy it was at that. The prepa-
ration and making of it was open to
the inspection of all Corners, in an
open-air kitchen, which stood not far
from the hook where the candy was
pulled. When the sugar, Using glass,
water, and other ingredients had boil
ed down to the proper consistency, the
sticky mass was turned out on a greas-
ed marble slab, kneaded, and worked,
until at a word from the head candy
maker, it went to the hook and was
there pulled" and favored. When
pulled until it had reached n proper
whiteness it was removed, laid on an
other slab, having foot measure grad
uated to inches in the marble There
it was cut to the proper lengths with
an immense pair of shears, wrapped in
paper, and sold to the candy-hungry
crowd, who stood open mOuthed with
establishment.
Those who remember such scenes
would have been forcibly reminded of
the old fair days in Kentucky or Mis-
souri, had they dropped into a certain
store last week, where they sold candy
by the yard. The candy is made and
favored in the usual way, but instead
of being pulled by hand is brought to
the proper consistency by means of
very peculiar machine, in which the
pulling is actually done by two iron
arms which when the machine is set
in motion, yank and twist the candy
in manner so strikingly human that
one wonders at the genius of the per-
son who invented it. From the auto
matte puller it is removed to a greas-
ed marble slab, heated by electricity
from beneath, where the candy is run
out into yard lengths by means of
yardstick, and severed at the proper
graduation with a pair of scissors.
This candy is then sold at 3 cents per
yard, and excellent stuff it is, at that.
1t is favored and colored in such fash
ion that when spun out into yard
lengths it looks for all the world like
silk ribbon, and the cook who does the
cutting up has been several times mis-
taken for the clerk of the silk ribbon
counter.
The pulling of candy by means Of
a machine, which in all truth is equip
ped not only with a pair of arms, but
a pair of hands, with which to grasp
the ends of the candy, into the bar
gain, is a great improvement over the
old hand process. In the old days ii
was noticeable that the candy pullers
of the Western fairs were usually
large, and the work was so fatiguing
that when they had completed their
task they were bathed in perspiratlon,
the effort of keeping a stiff, resistant
mass in constant circulation and mo-
ton being harder work even than log
rolling or coal heaving. -Washington
Post.

CHINESE EXCLUSION.
Foundations for a New Treaty Now
Being Laid


Secretary Hay and Sir Chentung Lang
Cheng have at last begun to lay the founda-
ton for new Chinese exclusion treaty and
II Is expected that the convention will be
ready for submission to the Senate at the
approaching session in December next. The
treaty Will. it is understood, replace all ex-
1etlng law on the subject and under ordi-
nary conditions that fact might be expected
to arouse antagonism on the part of the
House of Representatives, which will thus
be deprived Of a share in the framing of
exclusion measures.
However, 1t is believed that a disclosure
Of the purpose of the new treaty will recon-
cile the House to the adoption of the meth
cd proposed to effect the exclusion of unde-
sirable Chinese and will assure the ap-
proval of the treaty by the Senate. 1t is the
Intention to continue in full force in the
treaty the principle of the exclusion of
Chinese coolies and the Chinese government
itself is perfectly willing that that should
be done. But the treaty will contain pro-
visions regarded as much needed and ear
nestly sought for by the Chinese govern
ment for many years, looking to a more
considerate, liberal and kindly treatment of
ter our ports. There have been constant
complaints of indignities heaped upon Chi
neSe merchants and scholars and even high
class officials by the harsh application Of
the existing exclusion laws, and the COL
lectorS of customs and immigration officials
have uniformly answered criticisms on that
point by the declaration that they were
simply enforcing the law which it is now
the purpose to qualify by the new conven-
ton.
