A Deep Mystery.

Peter Donovan came over from Ire
land so years ago, settled on small
farm up the state, and raised a large
family of children. One of his sons
came to New York City and prospered
in business, and not long ago sent for
his old father to come and spend his
remaining days in comfort and leisure
here in the city. Accordingly the old
man sold his farm and came on. His
sons family was strange to him, and
for a time he was a little suspicious
Of everything. Gradually, however, he
gained confidence, and conclued that
the family could be trusted. One day
about two weeks after his arrival he
took from his pocket thick leather
wallet bound with long leather thongs
tied at the ends. These he carefully
united and began slowly to unwind.
Round and round went his hands seven
times before the wallet was free. Then
from the inside he took out . brass
trunk check, held 1t up SO that all could
see, and asked bluntly: 'Phat is thot?
The mon at the other ind tould me to
give ut to yez!"-N. Y. Times.

Now, don't like to talk about my own

to make a comment on northwestern

which has not hitherto been made. Out
In Washington county, in the Ozarks,

no such thing as going downhill. II you
want to walk you walk uphill; If you
ride or drive, it must be uphill, and hills
are not Of the gradually sloping kind,
either. They are abrupt, steep AS a
result of this popularity the men in that
section who do great amount of walk

that section. They stand even in
slanting attitude, and due altogether to
the fact that they are always walking
uphill. Put them on level ground and

old man of that section to tell me that
level ground made him 'seasick.' He
could not stand the rolling prairie OF
course, this may be putting things a lit

section are certainly peculiar. There is,
to be sure, a physical condition which
may be described as downhill; but all
the roads lead uphill, and whether you
are going or coming, you must go up

LEGEND OF "BARE HILL"
Strange and Weird Legend Attached
to Elevation by Indians Of
the Five Nations. ri s 3

Among the many places Of interest
along Canandaigua lake. and one fire.
Quently visited by tourists, is the coun-
Gil hill of the Five Nations, on the east
shore of the lake, ten miles from this viz
lage. The Seneca Indians named the
hill Genundewah, but modern writer's
have changed the name totBare. hill, by
which it is known far and wide, says the
Syracuse IN. W Herald.
A strange and weird legend attaches to
Genundewah. According to Indian lore
the hill was at one time the scene OF
q great pow-pow, during which sacrifices
were made and prayers offered to the
Great Spirit, asking leniency for crime
that had been committed, a crime for
which there. seemed to be no atone
ment, as during the ceremonies mon
ster serpent, with fiery eyes, arose slow
" from the lake and surrounded the hill
and the people assembled. Slowly the
strong folds contracted and the people
huddled in terror on the mountain.
They fought stoutly for their lives, but
one by one, the warriors, maidens and
children were .engulfed in the dread
creatures capacious nav.
When all had been destroyed save
brave Young warrior and a beautiful
squaw, the Great Spirit is said to have
relented, the clouds parted and DOW
and arrow fell at the feet of the brave,
and a voice commanded him to fire the
shaft at the monster. He obeyed. and,
true to it's mark, the arrow pierced one
of the blazing eyes of the serpent: In
its death agonies the serpent rolled
down the mountain side, disgorging the
heads of the victims. The Indians az
frmed that the heads petritied, and the
many round stones along the shore OF
the lake were believed by them to be
the skulls of their ancestors.
For years, the legend continues, Meth
or tree, shrub nor foliage of any kind
grew in the path made by the serpent as
it rolled down the mountain, and tie
name "Bare hill" given by the early set
tiers, who had heard the legend from the
lips Of the redmen story-tellers, has
since chung to the mount. According to
the legend, the youth and the maiden
who survived are said to have become
the progenitors Of the mighty nation OF
the Senecas
Aside from the legendary origin, the
name Bare hill is a misnomer. The
ground is in rich state of cultivation,
and the hill is dotted with vineyards
from which the finest grapes grown in
Ontario county are shipped to market.

Mr.. Banks had acquired a dictatorial
manner in his youth, and it had grown
with his years. When he gradually be-
came near-sighted he refused to wear
glasses, and held other people re-
sponsible for any difficulties into which
his failing sight led him.
One day he clutched by the coat
sleeve q man who was hurrying past
him on the street.

STRONGHOLD OF 4 HERMIT.
An English Farmer Being Tilted Seeks
seclusion from the Eyes Of
@ Mankind.

For Is years James Mason, farmer
who formerly kept stock and worked his
land as any other agriculturist, has cut
himself of from all human intercourse,
says the. London Daily Mail. He lives
in q cave In the midst Of three acres Of
woodland at Great Garfield, on the east
ern border of Eessex.
The cause of this strange conduct was
IN unfortunate love affair. Thirteen
years ago, when q man of 40. he vas
fitted by the 17-year-old daughter Of d
neighboring farmer. Mason thereupon
vowed that he would never again gaze
upon a woman's face. ~ Al @
He left his home, disposed of part Of
his land, and took up his abode on q por-
ton of his holding, which adjoins the
old Epping forest. -s...-.s.s-. se...4. .s......
Around this he dug dyke IL feet deep
and IL feet wide. He planted 4 thick
hedge round-a hedge which has now at
tanned an enormous height, and lined It
with row1 Of barbed wire. @ EE
Here, completely screened and pro-
tected from all fear Of prying eyes, he
has passed Is lonely years, and during
this time only two human beings have
ever caught glimpse Of the hermit.
One was the village postman, who, go
ing his rounds In the early morning,
for a moment saw q Withholding man
who, as he afterward said, dropped to
the ground as though he had been shot"
The other was woodman who, eight
years ago, was greatly alarmed at seeing
Z wild, bearded face glazing at him
through hole in the hedge.
No one in the locality has ever dared
10 penetrate the hedge, for the belief is
armly implanted IN the villagers that
the wild man." as he is called, carries
arms, and would not scruple to use them
II any attempt to invade his privacy
were made.
It is generally believed that the hermit
sleeps all day and works at night, for al
late hours belated wayfarers have re-
ported noises from behind the impene-
trable hedgA

Charles. NJ. Schwab, the great
hnancier, recently paid a visit
to Tonopah and predicts great
things for the bonanza camp
Among other things he said:
at seems to me uncomfortable
that any one could visit Tono-
pah and see l. as | have seen it
during the last few days, with
out beirg enthusiastic over its
possibilities.
II never dreamed that such
wealth lay hidden i'll these des-
ert hills and claims. Tonopah
is far beyond anything dreamed
of. We will not take our money
away, but will double it up and
go at it right.

Conan Safely Landed.

United States Marshal Emmitt
returned from the East yester-
day morning, says Tuesdays
Reno Journal, after placing c. B.
Conan, an embezzler, in charge
of the United States Marshal at
Madison, Wisconsin. Conan
ernbezzled a sum of money from
a postofice in a small town i'll
Wisconsin many years ago and
on account of drink and the
jealousy of a woman surren-
dered himself to the authorities,
at Fallon, after evading the
watchful eyes of the officers of
the United States for eleven
years.
Marshal Etnmitt says that
the prisoner was very peaceful
while en- route to the scene of his
former crime and that he was
not the least trouble. Before
leaving the city he t~elegraphed
to his wife and three children in
Wisconsin, but on his arrival at
Madison none of them were
there to meet him. He did not
seem to mind the punishment
awaiting him, but talked CON
tinuallv of his wife and children.
He was arraigned for his crime
the day before Marshal Emmitt
left, but did not plead to the
charge as he wished to await
the arrival of his brother-in-law
who was coming to his aid i'll
answer TO a telegram.

Governor Issues Proclamation.

Governor Sparks has ISSUED a
proclamation prohibiting the
importing, driving, moving or
transporting into the State OF
Nevada of all or any sheep from
the States of Idaho and Utah,
for the period of ninety days,
from and after April 80, 1904,
except after inspection by the
County Sheep Inspector.
This action was taken owing
to the existence of scab in the
State of Idaho and Utah, and
under the provisions of an Act
of the Legislature of the State
of Nevada, approved March 10,
1903, entitled AN Act to pre-
vent the spread of contagious

Nevada at the Fair.

After several weeks absence
in the East, E. B. Yerington re-
turned yesterday morning much
improved in health and enthus-
iastic over the St. Louis Fair.
which he visited to the extent of
about three weeks, says the
Carson News.
The Fair itself, Mr.. Yerington
says, will be about twice as big
as was the similar event at Chi
cago a few years ago, which set
the pace for international expo
sitions of its day. An example
is offered in the fact that the
Pike, or Midway, as it is usual
lv known, consists % a street of
over two miles i'll length, and
thus far represents an outlay of
over 5000, 900.
While the formal opening o.
the Fair will take place next
Thursday. Mr.. Yerington does
not expect all to be i'll readiness
before June 1st.
The Nevada building is COM
pleted and already occupied. 1t
is i'll a favorable location. being
about three minutes walk from
the railway which Wis its every
point of interest within the
grounds. This building, of
course, is far from being as pre-
tentious as many, but it has a
number OF attractive features
and is highly creditable to Ne
vada. Nevada's Commissioners
have their office here and the
building contains all that will
be required to make visiting
Sagebrushers comfortable.
Nevada exhibit in the mining
building is most t%avorably stu
ated near one of the main en-
frances, and no visitor can miss
seeing it. This building is itself
of a size that covers Nenty
acres. The thing that is caus-
ing more interest and more com
ment than anything among the
exhibitors, is the 20-mule team
which illustrates the method OF
transportation OF borax from
Death Valley and which takes
in the grounds twice each day.
This is more worthy of atten-
ton when it is known that no
other exhibitor was allowed to
make other than a stationary
exhibit.
Nevada's mining exhibit eclip-
SEES them all in Mr.. Yerington's
opinion and he looks to see the
State realize very heavily upon
its investment.
