A Great Discovery That Stun bered

In earlier times one of the greatest
discoveries of the age was made by IL
man polishing amber which was one
of the most highly priced of ancient
ornamental gems and found only
among the crown jewels of royalty or
in the caskets of princely rulers and
wealthy people dwelling in palaces
The man, il was said. felt mighty
shock; violent tremor thrilled through
mis- hand and arm while he was rub
bins the stone. He may have exagger-
nted the account or the authors of the
many versions may have done so. but
the facts were there
That man had struck the trail of an
electrical discovery. But for centuries
this suggestive truth of Numbering
power slept No experiments were
tried-science was in state of repose.
Experiments suggestive Of electric dis
coveries were tried, without attempts
to further investigation.

"rhcy are women, at least. and are
therefore entitled to the respect oi

will tell you that this one laying his
hand lovingly on the shoulder OF the
older woman, "is my wife, and this
one" tenderly lifting the face OF the
girl to his own. ''is my daughter N!
name is Kit Carson, and think SIN
gle second will be sufficient time Tor
you to get rid Of that cigar"
1t is hardly necessary to recite the
facts that the cigar went out OF the
window In less than the time specihed
and that at Arrow Rock, the next sta
ton. the dude found 1t convenient to
lay over for another coach.
This was the writer's drst meeting
with Kit Carson. but II is pleasant TO
remember that it was not his last.
Carson was authority on all Indian
and western matters before he beca me
national historic character through
his connection with John c. Fremont
and his command of troops in the west
during the civil war.
He was possibly entitled to even
more credit as pathfinder than Ere
mont himself. II ia safe 10 say that
had it not been for him Fremont and
his whole command would have per
ished in the SHOWS of the Rocky noun
tains
Within the last few years the writer
has heard il asserted that Kit Carson's
wife was Spanish woman OF high de-
gree. to whom he was married some
where in New Mexico. This may be
true. but II 40 she was his second
wife. for no man was ever more devot-
ed to his family than was Carson to his
Indian wife and daughter. as the writ
er personally knows from having met
them on a Missouri steamboat several
years after.
Away back in the forties q novelist
named Judson under the nom de plume
Of Ned Buntline wrote series of blood
and thunder stories based upon matters
said to be happening in the Indian
country. Kit Carson was the hero of
all these stories. and thousands Of peo-
pie through them formed wrong idea
Of the man. He was looked upon as an
uncouth half wild individual. whose
only thought was to slaughter Indians.
On the contrary. he was just the re-
verse of the picture drawn by Ned
Buntline. He was high sOuled. chiv-
airous tender hearted man and was
always the friend and counselor of the
Indians. never using force against them
except in the defense of his own race.

FULL OF LEAD
Was Mcintosh When WiIbert
Ceased Firing.
Former Saloon Ian Shot to Death
In the Edge of Hopkins
County.

Gus Mcintosh. a former saloon
keeper OF Warrington, was shot
hve times and killed by Lewis
Wilbert, young son of Dan Will
bert, postmaster at Warrington,
Tuesday. The killing grew out OF
an old difficulty in which Wilbert
was shot and wounded by Mcintosh.
The latter kept a saloon until
about the first of the year, when he
sold out to Isaiah Dunning. The
saloon was a few feet over the Hop
kins county line, the village OF
Warrington being on the county
line.
Mcintosh was standing in front
of the saloon when Wilbert came up
and without provocatlon began
shooting Mcintosh, who was un-
armed. He emptied his pistol and
Mcintosh fell wounded unto death.
The dead man was IS years old
and leaves no family. His wife
died about year ago.
Wllbert is about l9 years of age
and but recently recovered from
the wounds inflicted in the former
difficulty. The previous trouble
occurred in McIntosb's saloon.
WIlbert created a disturbance and
it is said forced a fight on McIn-
tosh, who finally shot and wounded
him.
The killing took place in Hopkins
county.
Wllbert surrendered Wednesday
to the Hopkins county authorities
and is in Jail at Madisonville.

ADOPTING A BABY.
Methods of the Society In Charge of
the Tots In New York.

1t isn't easy to get a baby for adop-
ton from the organization which has
charge of them in New York. On re-
|ceipt of the application a blank is sent
back containing some twenty printed
questions, to be filed out by the would
be parents and a request for three ref
|~erences. If the answers are satisfac-
tory, further blanks go to the persons
referred to, asking information on the
applicants character and circum-
stances, and reliable citizens of the
|neighborhood are privately consulted.
Then the agent comes and inspects the
family. If the home seems a good one,
Ia baby as neal the requirements as
possible Is sought. There is even an
attempt to select a suitable tempera-
ment-a placid baby for a nervous wo-
Imam or one who Is not bored by atten-
tons for the demonstrative. The visit
ing agent has to be something of a
psychologist. Every n calls for curly
hair of course, and blue eyes are much
in demand, but the new mother gener-
ally forgets all her specifications when
she is confronted with the living can
didate. The baby is taken to the home
by the agent, who leaves written di-
rections about food and care and comes
back twice a year to note progress.
Frequent reports are encouraged, and
even after the child is legally adopted
the society tries to keep in touch with

why the Negro Is Black.

On the bare arm paint a broad line
in india ink and expose the arm to
the strong sunshine. A slight inf1am-
nation sets in on the unprotected skin,
but not under the black paint, which
excludes the light rays put, of course,
not the heat rays. Some days after
the skin is darker (sunburned), except
where the india ink was painted,
where is a white line in the skin. Ex-
posing the arm again, the inflammation
sets in only in the white line. The
brown pigment caused by the sun (sun-
burned) at the first exposure protects
the skin against the chemical rays.
Therefore are negroes black, and trav-
elers of white skin may protect them
selves in the tropics from the sun by
black or red paint.-London News.

An Unavailing Rain Penance.

No country subject to drought Is
without its own peculiar method of
supplicating for rain. That in Kumaon,
northern India, is not the least curious
of them.
In a country where the population
is almost entirely dependent upon grain
as a means of subsistence drought
means famine and starvation. During
a drought in Kumaon a Hindoo fakir
imposed a penance on himself and was
suspended by his feet from a wooden
beam. In this position he was swung
back and forth for a considerable time
by means of a rope attached to his
body and pulled by a fellow fakir.
Both men were besprinkled with ashes
and mud and were minus all clothing
except for a small cloth around the
waist.
1t is to be regretted that such pious
zeal should have gone without the ex-
pected reward, for the chronicler sadly
related that no rain fell until weeks
after.
