Our Taste For Chocolate.

The taste of the people of the United

Commerce and Labor show that the
importation of cacao has grown from
nine million pounds in 1883 TO twenty
-four million pounds in 1893. and sixty
three million pounds in 1908 Cacao,

THE HONEY BEES STING.

A French naturalist named Phisalix
has been making some minute investi-
cations of the nature of the poison of
the honey bees sting, and announces
that it contains three separate princi-
pies, one convulsive. one Supplying and
one infammatory. To the fact that
two of these ingredients in some de-
gree neutra1ize each other, he ascribes
the great rarity of deaths from bee
stings, and it is possible that occa-
sional deaths, particularly those at
tended by commissions, may be explain
ed by some exceptional variation in the
toxic properties of the injected matter.

POOR DEAD FATHER STORY.
1t Appears to Be an Excellent Graft in
This Case.

A man was brought into police court
Monday on the charge of vagrancy, who
appears to be a plain CRATER. This per-
son, wearing a clerical air and a set or
red whiskers, gave the name of G. +.
Steed and warned the officers not to ex-
cite him, as he was subject to an "af-
Fiction" and was liable to 'see things"
if unduly disturbed.
Steed applied to DR.. VanHorn, who
is acting secretary of the Provident as
ISOLATION, and asked for money to take
him to Belleville, Kansas. He told a
pitiful story His paterna1 ancestor, a
minister of the gospel, had gone to Belle
Vile as a missionary, and there sudden
w died. The body was ready to be ship
ped to a point in the east, but had to
be accompanied by a relative. He didn't
have money enough to get there, and
would the association kindly help hin? ?
DIR Van Horn said that the association
would see about it. The beggar was
investigated" and it was learned that
he had 'shossed" several Topeka citf-
zens for small amounts on the same
story.
When brought in Steed said that he
was afflicted" and recommended that
the court be lenient with him. Steed
had a little over 81. DR.. Van Horn tele-
phoned to Belleville and found that the
deceased parent was a fake.
The court discharged Steed on con-
dition that he get out of town. Twenty
minutes later he was seen working a
man on lower Kansas avenue for a dol

the International Paper company, which
controls large acreage of timber avail
able for pulp purposes, an advantage
over competitors, who are often unable
to get the pulp they need unless they
import it.
There is a part of the United States
which is abundantly able to supply all
the wood pulp American manufacturers
need. That is Alaska. But congress
has made it impossible for independent
manufacturers to draw supplies from
that quarter. In it's zeal to protect the
boundIess forests of Alaska, which, to a
considerable extent, are more useful for
pulp than for any other purpose, it has
restricted the use of timber found upon
the public lands to actual settlers and
miners. 1t may be used only for fenc-
ing, firewood, buildings. and other do
nestle purposes.
Alaska is a part of the United States.
Wood pulp made there will be as truly
American as if made from Maine or
New York timber. Why should not the
manufacture of pulp In the territory be
aIlowed2 There is no reason except that
it would not suit the purposes of the
print paper trust.
Congressman Tawney of Minnesota,
member of the committee on ways and
means, has offered to a bill pending in
the house an amendment authorizing
the expectation of timber, or of any
manufactures of Underwood pulp is
one of them-from Alaska If that
amendment shall become law Alaska
will be helped, for new industries will
be started there. The independent pa

TWO wolves Rushed Past Us.

It's roof was from 80 to 40 feet high,
and in width and length there was space
enough to crowd a thousand people to-
gether. We built a fire in the center of
the vast apartment, that we might have
a good view around us, thinking there
might be other wild animals barking
about and when we could see every
thing we stood amazed and wondered
if we could be dreaming.
1t was a cavern, charnel mouse
and a tomb combined. There was not
there were hundreds and hundreds of
human bones lying about, each one
as white as ivory and as clean as
billiard ball. In the center of the
cavern were seven or eight heaps OF
furniture bedding, clothing and cook
ing utensils, each one apparently haV-
ing belonged to a different owner.
Leaning against one of the walls were
eight rifles, and near them were axes
and kegs of powder.
AS we looked around and saw these
things and handled some of them, we
could come to but one conclusion.
Everything before US had belonged to
a party of immigrants making west
wards over the Overland Trail. The
cave was only ten miles off the Trail.
There had been some awful tragedy
here, and we began looking closer to
make it out. The puzzle was soon
solved.

the Trail and taken temporary refuge
there There was no way to tell how
long they had been inside when a
landslide brought down thousands of
tons of debris over the mouth of the
cavern and entombed them Heavy
rains had subsequently washed much
of it inside, and then the wolves had
burrowed through the remainder. The
entombed people had made efforts in
three or four directions, and had
broken or worn out their spades and
shovels, but they had had to give it
up at last They might have blasted
their way out with the powder at hard
but they were afraid to use it
we did not go into as rigid an
examination that night as curiosity
prompted, both of US having a strong
feeling of awe in the presence of the
relics of the dead, but after a night
passed at our campfire outside we re-
turned to the search.
We had noticed four OF five wooden

Shayne to prospect for gold.
We had been out for two weeks when
signs of Indians became so fresh that
We were driven into hiding in a small
canyon or raVine making out of a larger
one. We kept working back up the
dark and narrow way until we had
quite reached the end, and as it had
now come night and we were in want
of food we decided to start a fire.
The bottom of the ravine was cover
ed with leaves and limbs, and we soon
had a cheerful blaze going. Soon after
the fire was lighted two great wolves
rushed past us, going for the mouth.
They had come out of a mass of rock
at the upper end. Thinking there might
be a den there in which others were
hiding, we made a torch and inspected
the place.
Under a tangle of trees which had
fallen from above was the mouth of a
cave. 1t was little larger than the body
of a wolf, but when we had eaten our
supper we went at it to enlarge the
orifiee. In the course of an hour we
opened the mouth of a great cavern
From the mouth what may be called

a hundred feet, and then we came to

General business is in very promising
condition, chiefly a result of a profit
able harvest, says Henry C1ews in the
Financial Review. Railroad managers
see a big traffic in sight for probably
the next six months, and they are chief
ly anxious about their ability to handle
the freight which is in prospect. For
the next six months at least we may
expect to see good railroad earnings
Our export trade is also good; for, while
we will have little wheat or flour to
spare, We will have plenty of cotton,
corn. oats and other agricultural pro-
ducts. This means better times for
transportation interests on both land
and sea- At home trade is also expand
ing, and there is a good demand for
nearly all manufactured products. The
iron and steel trades are again on one
of their spasmodic upward movements;
and. as the railroads are coming in as
heavy buyers of materials. this activ-
ity promises to last for considerable
period All things considered we seem
destined to enter the new year under
very hopeful conditions and to enjoy a
further period of prosperity.

chests among the baggage, and our
first move In the morning was to in
spect these. They contained clothing.
bedding, etc, but L had not yet finish
ed with the first when I made an i'm
portant discovery.
Five years previously a party had
been made up in Boone and Jefferson
counties, Missouri, by a man named
Frayne. There were seven families,
numbering thirty people in the party,
and after they had progressed as far
west as the foothills of the Rockies
all trace OF them had vanished. Some
believed they had been overwhelmed in
cloud-burst-others that they had
been massacred to the last man by the
Indians. In that trunk / found letters
and an account book belonging to
Frayne himself, and, of course, they
settled the identity of the party.
On the floor of the cave Shayne pick
ed up a blank book which had been
used as a diary by one John Martin of
the party. 1t covered a period Of two
months, dating from the start west
wards. His jottings were brief, but
and dissensions, and the last one said
that they were off the Trail and send
ing out men north and south in the
hopes to regain it. Two children had
died, but all others were well.
1t is the general belief that in seek
ing to find the Trail the party were
sighted by Indians and retired into the
big ravine for shelter. They may have
made a stand there, but the Indians
proving too strong for them they re-
tired within, leaving their animals and
wagons outside. The animals were shot
down and the wagons burned.
The people had plenty of provisions,
but there was not one single drop of
water to be had. The cave was as dry
as a bedroom. Had the wolves not got
access to it we should have found ev-
erybody as well preserved as If en-
balmed. We thoroughly explored every
foot of wall, and there was not even a
damp spot. How many hours or days
before the landslip blocked up the en-
lieved that the Indians brought it about
by using powder from above.
The immigrants did not perish for
want of air, but one by one they died
for want of water, and some of them
must have lasted for days. We picked
up at least hundred bullets which had
been chewed at to allay thirst, and the
men had attacked the walls here and
there with axes and crowbars in hopes
to hit a tiny stream of water. When
none could be found. and when they
had been forced to realize that il was
utterly Impossible to force a way out
they had succumbed one after another
and the tragedy was ended.
Two days later the government sent
a detail of soldiers to the spot and gave
the bones burial and brought away most
of the stuff and distributed it among
the relatives of the deceased, and TIA
ken altogether, 1t furnished one of the
saddest chapters of the period when for
every 20 rods of the great Overland
Trail there was a board marking the
grave of a victim.-(Copyright 1904 by
