He Almost Succeeded.

In magazine article on Max Won
Pettenkofer, who has been called the
founder Of scientific hygiene and next
to Humboldt the most popular Of all
German naturalists, Max Gruber tells
a story of the professors absentmind-
edness. He lost a fortune in umbrel-
las, seldom bringing back what he had
taken away. Once, however, he made
a trip as far as England and was very
proud of having actually succeeded in
bringing back his umbrella to Ger
many. At Augsburg he stopped on
business, but sent telegram reading,
"At 6 o'clock return with my UNI
brella." He did return at 6 o'clock, but
as he entered his house in Munich he
saw to his dismay that he had no UNI
brella. He had left it at the telegraph
station.

Legend OF the Tonkawa Tribe.

The early history Of the Tonkawa
Indians is wrapped in mystery. A
legend exists that at an early period
the earth was covered with Tonkawa
Indians and that a great flood came
and scattered in all directions the
tribes, who never again came together.
The oldest living members date back
their knowledge Of the tribe from the
first authentic location Of which we
possess any record. That is In the
Wichita mountain country Of what now
constitutes south central Oklahoma.
During the great civil conflict the Ton
kawas remained neutral. This attitude
during the war brought upon the Ton
kawas the hatred Of the Comanches,
Caddoes, Wichitas, Delawares. Shaw
nees and Kickapoos, who combined
their united efforts in an attempt to
wipe out the entire nation Of Tonka-
was. The attack was made In true In
dian fashion, and over 1890 Tonkawas
were killed.-Kansas City Journal.

one for whom he was responsible had
stolen the goods, promptly sent
check. The amount, adding largely to
Mabel Wainright's capital, was placed
to her credit.
Mr. Sparkline continued his interest
In Mabel. Finding that her health had
been undermined during the days of
her hardship, he took her out Of the
store and after sending her on a trip
which completely restored her took her
into his family as governess for his
children. While there one of his guests,
young lawyer, fell in love with and
married her. ALICE CHEEVER.

Baptism For the Dead.

One device which holds the people
to the Mormon church is the curious
doctrine of baptism for the dead. 1t is
believed that the living may by being
baptized save their relatives who have
gone before. A man goes to the tenn
pie and is solemnly immersed for his
grandfather, who died out of the faith.
The grandfather's name is duly entered
in the book of records, the grandson
contributes a fee and comes the next
day to be baptized for his grandmoth-
er and SO on. AS the result of this
faith the Mormons have delved more
deeply into their genealogy perhaps
than any other class of Americans.
know of several cases in which Nor
mons have gone to England on purpose
to trace out their genealogical tree,
bringing back long lists of their ences-
tors, in some cases going back to the
time Of William the Conqueror. On
their return to Utah they begin the
process Of baptism-a dip for each
ancestor.-Ray Stannard Baker in Cen
tury.

Academy or "sightseer's" head
ache is one of the numerous Ills Of
modern civilization. According to OBJ
servations of Mr.. Simeon Smell, de-
scribed in the London Hospital, there
is reason to attribute it in part at least
to strain on the muscles that turn the
eyeballs upward. A lady who found
no inconvenience in visiting the thea
ter when she sat In the dress circle al
ways suffered from severe headache
when she sat in the orchestra, where
she had to look up. The same effect is
produced in picture galleries, especially
in looking at pictures hung above the
line Cyclists who lean over the handle
bars and turn their eyes up to look
ahead have the same trouble, and so do
compositors and people in many other
occupations requiring continued use OF
the elevator muscles. The eyeballS
move from side to side with less strain
and discomfort than up and down.

Tom BoWens'
Love ....,...
JAMES NORFLEET
Copyright, 1901, by K. NJ. Whitehead

The girl Of the II. & L." ranch was
Nora Davis, niece Of the proprietor.
who was passing year In the far west
by the advice of her doctor. The pres
ence Of woman at the ranch house
was no strange thing, as Mrs. Davis
was there and had two or three women
helpers, but the sight of good looking
girl of twenty riding and walking
about kept the cowboys In state Of
excitement.
Soon after the arrival Of Miss Nora
the jokers began to level their shafts
at Tom Bowens. Tom was no cowboy,
and was, therefore, looked down upon
with good natured contempt. He was
a poor rider, and he owned to lack
Of nerve, and he had, therefore, been
employed as general "chore man." It
was announced by the jokers that Tom
had fallen head over heels In love with
the young lady and would soon propose
marriage.
Tom was too bewildered to deny or
affirm. He had only caught sight Of
the girl once or twice and had then
gazed upon her as something new in
the menagerie line. The chaff set him
to thinking, however. He began to
wonder If he was not In love with the
girl, and within three or four days he
had convinced himself that he was. He
was unlettered, uncouth and without
dollar to his name but it did not oc-
cur to him that those things barred
him out Of the race. He acknowledged
his passion to the men about him, but
had opportunity been offered him q
hundred times over he would not have
broached the matter to the girl by word
| or look. Some time in the future, be
reasoned to himself-some time after
he had loved a long, long time and go1
| to be a rich cattle owner, and the squin1
had been taken out of his eyes and the
crook out of his legs-he might declare
his love, but not till then
The boys on the ranch had othe1
things to think of besides guying Ton
Bowens, but they let up on him fo

Sea Serpents.

Sea serpents date back to the days OF
Aristotle. who wrote: 'The serpents OF
Libya are of enormous SIZE Naviga-
tors along the coast report having
seen a great quantity of bones Of oxen,
which they believe without doubt to
have been devoured by the serpents.
These serpents pursued them (the sea-
mem when they left the shore and up
set one of their trireines.'
CLAUS Magnus wrote in the middle
ages of sea serpent 200 feet long and
20 feet thick which haunted rocks and
caves near the seacoast, the old writer
adding, "And he puts up his head on
high like pillar and catcheth away
men, aud he devours them"

The Undersround Ocean.

The Investigations Of the geological
survey have brought to light facts
about the enormous quantity Of under
ground water contained in the crust
Of the globe which are calculated to
astonish the ordinary reader. Below
a depth Of about six miles it is believed
that no water can exist in the rocks,
because the tremendous pressure prob
ably closes all pores; but above that
level the amount Of underground
water Is estimated - be equal to one
third of all the water contained In all
the oceans. II poured over the land
surface of the globe, the underground
water would be sufficient to cover II
to a uniform depth Of from 1900 to
$500 feet.

self Tom was sent along to gallop
about fifty feet in the rear and act as

and she was something OF an aristo-

to her groom with q smile, and on
many occasions drew him out regard
ing ranch life and its work and ad-
ventures He was always respectful
to a degree, and the thought never
entered her head that he aspired.
After her first three months at the
ranch there came an Indian scare. A
band had broken away from tho reser-
vation and taken to the foothills and
killed stock and man or two. The
daily gallops were not interrupted, but
shortened, and Tom Bowens, who was
q good shot, If no cowboy, buckied on
a pair Of revoIvers every time he was
sent to act as guard and groom. Sol
diers were ordered out to drive the
breakaways back, and after few days

After riding a straight twelve miles
out from the ranch the girl halted her
horse at the mouth Of Wolf pass. It
was a ravine or gulch 800 feet
long cutting through the hills. Tom
Bowens was with. her. as usual, and
he held her horse as she dismount-
ed and wandered about among the
powders to Gull a flower here and
there. As he watched her he fell to mus
ing. His love was growing day by day.
but he was successfully concealing It
When wouL the time come to reveal
1t? When revealed would 1t be recipro-
Gated? All Of sudden the thought
came to him for the first time:
"Can man like me ever hope to win
q girl like herr"
Tom was scared at the thought, and
he began to size himself up. He had
often been called "Bow Legs and
"Squint Eye" He knew that he was
"on'' in looks; he was uneducated: he
was without means. He was only
''chore man" at $40 month on ranch,
without the slightest prospect Of rising
higher. For the first time he realized
the gulf between them. He had been
an idiot, he admitted to himself, but
he would be an idiot no longer. He
would cease to love-go away-fall In
love with the cook as counterbalanco.
He was thinking harder than he had
ever thought before when slight noise
In the pass startled him, and he
thought he made out a human figure
skulking about. II 1t was human
figure it could only be that Of one OF
the renegade Indians, and II he was
skulking he meant murder. Tom Bow
ems had been charged with q lack Of
nerve and had always been ready to
admit It He had never been tried out,
and, therefore, did not know himself.
Within a minute after catching sight
Of the skulking figure he had turned
the horses and was walking them slow
ly back toward the girl, whistling as
he went. She looked up in surprise as
he drew near, and he carelessly dis
mounted and calmly said:
Miss Nora, don't be startled at what
1 say. There are Indians in the pass.
have seen one Of them, and there is
probably half dozen. I want you to
get on your horse and ride off slowly
for a ways and then ride like fire fox
| the ranch"
"Do you mean it9" asked Nora in
puzzled way.
"But you-you''- she asked as he
lifted her into the saddle.
I'm going to stay here bit The
Indians must have their ponies In
there with 'em, and they'd overhaul
me before got mile away. Don't
stop now, but ride on. You'll get away
all right, and you'll tell 'em at the
house."
She would have said more. but he
gave her horse a slap, and the animal
moved forward His own would have
followed, but he made it fast to bush
and then went whistling back to the
mouth of the pass and dropped behind
bowlder and drew one Of his revolv-
ers. Five, seven, ten minutes passed.
Then came yell from the Indians. who
had been tricked. and a band OF six
rushed out. Pop. pop, pop, went Toms
revolver, and then they closed In on
him, and all was over.
Two hours later when q dozen cow
boys rode up they found two dead In
dams and the trail of wounded one,
and Tom Bowens lay there stiff and
cold. with q smile on bis face. He
couldn't win tho girl he loved, but be
had died for her.

What .charm. Really Means

The word charm is from the Latin
carmen" Originally it meant incan-
tation. To charm a person is to be-
witch him. In Julius Cesar" act ill.,,
scene 1, II charm you," seems to mean
II adjure you.' When we speak now
of a charming woman we do not i'm
ply that she sings an incarnation to
us, but there is pretty figure Of
speech in our use of the word. We
mean that she has the same command
over us as If the incarnation were sung
and we were bewitched.

Initiative Animals.

Some animals have wonderful pow
ers Of imitation. Dogs brought up in
the company of cats have been known
to acquire the trick of licking the
paws and then washing the face. When
a cat has been taught to sit up for her
food her kittens have been known to
initiate her action. Darwin tells Of a
cat that was in the habit of putting
her paw into the mouth Of a narrow
milk pitcher every time she got the
chance and then licking the cream off
her paw Her kittens soon learned the
same trick.

escape the sting Of a repartee- He
went to a country assiZe once where
an old man with q great beard came
to give evidence, but had not the good
fortune to please the judge, SO he
quarreled with his beard and said, "If
your conscience is as large as your
beard you'll swear anything" The old
blade was nettled and briskly returned,

The Apple.

The apple is not considered to be
complete food in itself, but on the food
list 1t has a value far above the nutri-
ment it possesses. Apples aid the
stomach in the digestion OF other foods,
and therefore the best results are OBJ
tanned from eating them after rather
than before meals. After partaking of
an unusually heavy dinner the eating
of an apple will be found to facilitate
an early digestion and afford great re-
lief from the suferings attendant upon
Indigestion.

Barbarous Treatment of Ibo Women

The Ibos have barbarous custom Of
destroying twins. A woman who gives
birth to twins is regarded as some
thing accursed, and the children are
taken from her and thrown into the
bush to perish, while she is proclaim
ed an outcast and driven from the vii
lagc. To hold up two fingers to an
Ibo woman is to offer her the greatest
insult possible. They are very super
stitious. They worship idols of wood,
mud and iron, which are regarded as
protectors to be propitiated at various
periods. and slavery exists among all
the tribes.
