worth recording before we close the
book In the year 1900. on the Fourth
Of July, certain leading French fami-
" Of vincennes held a patriotic reun-
ion during which a little old flag was
produced and its story told. Some one
happily proposed that 1t be sent to Mrs
Alice Tarleton Beverley with a letter
Of explanation and in profound recog
milton of the glorious circumstances
which made 1t the true flag of the
great northwest.
And so 1t happened that Alice's little
banner went to Virginia and is still
preserved in an old mansion not very
far from Monticello. but it seems likely
that the Wabash valley will soon again
possess the precious relic. The mar
riage engagement of Miss Alice Bever-
ley to a young Indiana officer, distin-
guished for his patriotism and militia
ry ardor, has been announced at the
old Beverley homestead on the hill, and
the high contracting parties have plan
ned that the wedding ceremony shall
take place under the famous little flag
on the anniversary of Clark's capture
of Post vincennes. When the bride
shall be brought to her new home on
the banks of the Wabash the flag will
come with her, but Oncle Jazon will
not be on hand with his falsetto shout
"vive la banniere dAlice Roussillon!
Vive Zhorzh Vasintonr'

New Kongo Route.

A meeting was recently held at the
Sorbonne in Paris in honor of Captain
L'Enfant, the African explorer, who
has found a new road into the interior
of that country which, it is claimed,
will altogether supersede the present
Kongo route. The aim of his mission
was to find means of communication
between the Benone and the Logone
and to see IL it was possible for a
barge leaving the mouth Of the Niger
to reach Lake Tchad by following a
water route-that is, the Niger, Be
none, Mayo-Kebi. Tonbori, Logone and
Chari. Captain L'Enfant carried along
with him steel barge, taken over in
sections, and successfully accomplished
the journey. He says the route can
easily be made navigable, shortening
the time of the Kongo passage to six
ty-five days and reducing the cost Of
carrying merchandise from $400 to
500 per ton. The link of communica-
ton between the Niger and Lake
Tchad being thus discovered, solu-
ton has been afforded OF one of the
greatest African problems.

quences Of disobedience even then but
for the fact that the order to halt was
accompanied with the expls nation that
General Lee, who was several miles
away, did not wish to give battle at
Gettysburg. 1t is stated on good au-
thority that General Lee said some
time before his death that IL Jackson
had been there he would have won In
this battle a great and possibly de-
cisive victory. I cannot vouch for the
truth of this statement, as l did not
hear It; but no soldier in a great crisis

Iiverer's hand than / wished for one

Perils of the Lumbermen.

A crew Of seven men were loosening
timbers from the rocks above a great
cataract on the River Des Quinze. The
nearer they worked to the head of the
rapids the more imminent grew their
peril. At last the cautious steersman,
q half breed named Poison, refused to
venture further the lives of his crew.
The foolhardy foreman ordered him
out, stepped aboard and took Polson's
steering paddle. Out from the bank
they shot swiftly and down the steep
incline. All went well until they wish
ed to turn their boat beside the rocks
that blocked the timber when to their
CONSERVATION the speed of the boat
slackened. Managing to point her bow
up stream, they rowed with all their
strength. For some seconds she never
moved. Surely the demon of the rap
ids had caught them. With pounding
heart and painting breath they tugged
with all their might and main, but to
no purpose. Inch by inch, with in
creasing rage, he drew them until at
last with a deafening roar he hurled
them, boat and all, like javelin, into
the very depths Of the gigantic cal
dron Of boiling foam.-Arthur Heming

there Is tradition in the Tarleton
family that they were given by Alice

Roussillon's death in 1870 went to New

two before embarking for France,

Oncle JaZon lived in Vincennes many
years after the war was over, but he
died at NatcheZ, Miss, when ninety

that he had upon various occasions

Good old Father Beret died suddenly
soon after Alice's marriage and depar-
ture for Virginia. He was found lying
face downward on the floor OF his cab

puncheon were the mildewed frag-
ments Of letter which he had been ar
ranging as IL TO read Its contents.
Doubtless 1t was the same letter
brought to him by Rene de Ronville, as
recorded In an early chapter of our
story. The fragments were gathered
up and buried with him. His dust lies
under the present Church of st. Xavier,
the dust OF as noble man and as true
a priest as ever sacrificed himself for
the good Of humanity.
In after years Simon Kenton visited
Beverley and Alice In their Virginia
home. TO his dying day he was fond
Of describing their happy and hospita-
BILE welcome and the luxuries to which
they introduced him. They lived in
stately white mansion on hill over
looking vast tobacco plantation
where hundreds of negro slaves worked
and sang by day and frolicked by
night. Their oldest child was named
Fitzhugh Gaspard. Kenton died in
1896.

They Cultivate Their Fields, Dut

An interesting story il told by the
commissioners who have been engaged
for the last eighteen months in fixing
the Anglo-German frontiers In west
Africa between the town OF Yola and
Lake Tchad
The region traversed is little known
owing to the hostility of the tribes.
The Fulani villages were found quite
friendly, but beyond Lau, large town
on the Bernu, there lies a mountainous
region inhabited by pagans who in
many cases are cannibals.
They were found to be a most indus
trious people, who cultivated their
fields with a good deal of method. In
most cases, says Reuter-, they were
practically naked, but were always
armed. Even when at work in the
fields plowing they carried full kit Of
spears, shields and poisoned arrows.
The arrows are much dreaded, for
they are tipped with a deadly poison
extracted from vegetables and from
dead bodies. This Is carried in small
bottles, and when fresh it proves fatal

At Kuka the sheik of British Bor-
nu rode out to greet Colonel Jackson
at the head of 800 horsemen and a
large number of men on foot. He was
accompanied by a band and dancing
girls.
His people carried enormous spears,
and some wore old armor, while the
horses were caparisoned with housings
like those of the crusaders.

maps are to a large extent inaccurate

CHAPTER XXI.

AND so IT ENDED.
= FEW days after the surrender
"a of Hamilton large boat, the
IA Willing, arrived from Kaskas-
~ A kia 1t was well manned and
heavily armed. Clark fitted 1t out be-
fore beginning his march and expected
it 10 be of great assistance to him in
the reduction of the fort, but the high
waters and the floating driftwood de-
layed its progress, so that its disap-
pointed crew saw Alice's flag floating
bright and high when their eyes first
looked upon the dull little town from
far down the swollen river. There was
much rejoicing, however, when they
came ashore and were enthusiastically
greeted by the garrison and populace.
A courier whom they picked up on the
Ohio came with them. He bore dis
patches from Governor Henry of Vir-
ginia to Clark and a letter for Bever-
ley from his father.
The letter to Beverley from his ia
ther was somewhat disturbing. 1t bore
the tidings of his mothers failing
health. This made it easier for the
young lieutenant to accept from Clark
the assignment to duty with a party
detailed for the purpose of escorting
Hamilton, Farnsworth and several 9th
er British officers to Williamsburg, Va.
1t also gave him a most powerful as
sistance in persuading Alice to marry
him at once, so as to go with him on
what proved to be delightful wedding
journey through the great wilderness
to the Old Dominion. Springs verdure
burst abroad on the sunny hills as they
slowly went their way. The mating
birds sang in every blooming brake
and grove by which they passed, and
In their joyous hearts they heard the
bubbling of loves eternal fountain.
Our story must end here, because at
this point it's current flows away for
ever from old Vincennes, and it was
only of the post on the Wabash that
we set out to make a record What
befell Alice and Beverley after they
went to Virginia we could go on to tell,
but that would be another story. Suf-
fee 1t to say, they lived happily ever
after, or at least somewhat beyond
threescore and ten, and left behind
them a good name and numerous de-
scendants.
How Alice found out her family in
Virginia we are not Informed, but after
lapse of some years from the date Of
her marriage there appears in one OF
her letters reference to an estate In
herited from her Tarleton ancestors,
and her name appears in old records
signed in full, Alice Tarleton Beverley.
A descendant of hers still treasures the
locket, with its broken miniature and
battered crest, which won Beverley's
life from Long Hair, the savage. Be-

A permanent tribunal for the investi-
CATION Of all new claims to baronetcies
and all existing doubtful ones has
been suggested. The proposal Ncomes
from the baronets themselves, and it
has been Incorporated in a petition to

The baronets are banded together in

allied baronets certainly censor black
leg baronets by refusing to enroll any
person who cannot prove his claim to
the title he bears.
Mr.. Francis william Pixley, well
known barrister, who acts as regis
trar to the standing council, says bar

tary to act In the matter. He said:

A BELATED EXPLANATION.


He Wanted Bees stinEs For Rheu-
matism, hut Not For Himself.
An innocent looking German boy
walked into drug store the other day
and faced the proprietor.
"Haf you got some bees stings for
rheumatisms?" he shyly inquired.
Bees stings for rheumatism" the
proprietor repeated. Where did You
hear Of thatr'
'Why. muther vas reating 1t by de

The proprietor laughed.
"I've seen something of that kind in
the papers," he said, but / won't at

'In de handt und in de arm" the boy
replied.
"Well, see here" said the proprietor,
with a sudden smile, 81 haven't got
the cure on my shelves, but I keep 1t
in my back yard. You 60 out through
this door and walk around my flower
beds. When you see four or Ave bees
resting on flower, just try to pick
them up.''
The boy nodded and went ont. He
was gone at least ten minutes.
When he came back his face was red,
and his nose, where an angry bee had
alighted, was beginning to swell. He
held out his hand.
"I picked me some Of dose bees oop."
he placidly remarked.
"Did your" said the amused proprie

J. J. Hill stands high as an indus
trial and economic authority, and what
he has to offer on these subjects is
well worth attention. General busi-
ness, he says, is contracting. 1t was
first apparent and is now most evident
in manufacturing enterprises. The
railroads are public carriers, and II the
public has nothing to carry the rail
roads can do no business. As traffic
decreases they must mark up their
rates or lose money. Wages must go
down and working forces be lessened.
The railroads are dropping men be-
cause there is not work enough for all
Of them. The whole question falls
back primarily upon decreasing busi-
ness and the reason for 1t. The princi-
pal one is that the demand for the
products OF the United States Is not
now commensurate with the supply

Lady CurxOn.

We have all been welcoming Lord
Curzon back to London after his hve
eventful years In India. But probably
he would be the first to own that he
owes not little of his success to the
tact, grace and womanliness OF his
charming wife. Few even OF the feir
sex Of the states, who have made so
many "conquests" in this country. have
done more In this way than Lady Cur
son. The wife Of viceroy OF India
is perhaps the highest social position
to which any lady not OF royal blood
can aspire. Lady Curzon, by the way,
possesses a beautiful voice, as befits
one who was u pupil Of Marchesi.-
