with OK teams, the future soldier be-
Ing chosen as the commander Of the
expedition, which was formed in Oma-
ha. There were sixteen men and one
boy in the company, and they had six
OK teams. AS they were about to
cross the Platte river they fell in with
a war party Of Pawnee Indians, who
had just been defeated by the Sioux.
They demanded tribute to permit the
white men to continue.
There were about 300 of them, but
Drake decided to fight. Drake killed
the chief Of the Indians with a blow
from his own dubbed gun, and the h
ers fled, leaving nine dead The In
dams had but one gun, apparently
fowling piece, but most Of brakes par
ty were wounded by arrows.
Drake came back by sea, and at once
made another trip with a drove of cat
tie, which he disposed of to advantage.
He started back on the steamship
Yankee Blade for Panama. The vessel
was wrecked ON the Mexican coast
while racing with the mail steamer
Sonora. Eight hundred of her passen-
gers were drowned. Drake escaped,
with Others by selling a rowboat from
piratical sailors, who came to plumber
the wreck.
The survivors lived for five days on
the beach on a portion of q steer, which
they ate raw, and were then taken off
by passing steamer.
AT the outbreak Of the civil war
Gen. Drake, who was then conducting
country store at Unionville, Ia, went
to the front as private and was mus
tered out as a brigadier general In 1865,
after having been seriously wounded at
the battle Of Marks Mills, Ark. One
of his brothers, William Henry Harri-
son Drake, an officer of the Second
Iowa Regiment, was killed at Fort
Donelson.
Gen. Drake then turned his attention
to railroad building in his adopted
State, and soon built more than 400
miles, the roads now forming parts of
great railroad systems. He founded
Drake University in 1880, and with
Russell Sage, whose close friend he
was, helped rebuild Iowa College al
Grinnell when 1t was destroyed by q
cyclone in the following year. In many
other philanthropic and charitable en-
terprises he took a leading part. From
1896 to 1898 he was Governor of Iowa
having been elected OH the Republican
ticket. The estate he leaves is valued
at $4,0O0,000. He leaves four daugh
ters and two sons.

LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHY.
This Is the Most Encouraging for a
Beginner-It Gives Results.

Beginner-It Gives Results.
The most encouraging out-of-door
subjects for the beginner are land
scapes, so we shall speak of these first.
The most important point in the pho
tographing of landscape is the selec-
ton of it; the choosing of a bit of
scenery which, when translated to
black and white, will form an inter-
esting picture. You must always bear
in mind that the beautiful colors which
you see in nature and upon the ground
glass will not be present in the photo
graph, which must rely for its beauty
upon form and light and shade. When
you wish to photograph landscape,
take plenty of time to think about it.
After you have chosen your subject,
determine the point Of greatest inter
est, and then decide whether the pic
ture will look best with this point
directly In the center. to one side, or
toward the top or bottom.
If you live near the spot you intend
to photograph, it will pay you to notice
at what time of year it is most beauti-
full. Some landscapes look very com
monplace in summer, but make stun
ming pictures when half buried in the
snow. Waterfalls often look best in
early spring, because there is greater
volume of water pouring over then
at that time than at any other
A most interesting series of picture:
may be made by choosing Il beautiful
bit of landscape and photographing j
from the same point at frequent inter
walls throughout the year. The frs
picture, we will say, is taken wheI
the ground and trees are covered witt
snow; the second when most of tn
snow is melted, and the rest lies il
patches here and there; the third whel
the fields are flooded with rains. Afte
these would come pictures showin
the trees in bud, in leaf, in blossom
with fruit, and later dismantled wit
the frosts of autumn.-Philadelph

CHURCH is HIS MONUMENT.

Built for Religion, 1t Is Now a SeDu1-
cher for Man and Dog.
On the coast near Santa Barbara, In
the small town of Naples, is a substan-
tally built church that has never been
used for any other purpose than as a
sepulcher for man and a dog. The
dogs name does not appear in the
dedication plate, but his body lies be-
side that of his master in the mauso-
leum back of the church. The inscrip-
ton on the plate over the door of the
church reads:
This church is erected to the glory
of God and His Son, Jesus Christ, and
in memory of the founder Of Naples
John II. Williams"
Naples has been without q church

ever since 1t was founded, and the lack
was a source of considerable regret to
a number of its citizens. In good time
the omnipresent philanthropist arose
in their midst and said that he would
build a church and present it to the
town. This man was the founder, John
H Williams. He had good deal
of trouble in getting material for his
church. The first lot of shingles was
so bad that 1t could not be used, and
the builder decided to send to Europe
for fresh supply. He was a man of
considerable wealth and had arranged
to spent at least $4,000 on the struc-
ture. He was destined not to see the
fulfllment of his plans. He died while
the decorators were at work on the
interior Of the building His pet dog,
an animal Of which he was extremely
fond, died at about the same time.
Williams did not leave any directions
regarding the furtherance of his plans,
nor state what disposition should be
made Of the remains, so the widow
took the reins in her own hands. Work
on the church was stopped and the
doors We're closed.
This church, she said "shan never
be used as place Of worship. 1t shall
stand just as it is-a monument to
my dead husband"
And she caused the dog to be buried
with him, for his love for the animal
amounted to a passion. The dog had
been his constant companion in life,
and in death they were not to be d.
vided. There is no sexton or keeper in
charge of the church, and it has con-
sequently a neglected, forlorn appear
ance, although it has been standing
only since 1897. The interior was once
used as receptacle for hay, and dust
hangs from the beams, and the steps
are overgrown with weeds.

SENSATION LOST LIMBS.
How Affections of Nerves Have Sur
prised and Annoyed.

prised and Annoyed.
Men who have arms or legs ampu-
tated are discussing the sensations ex-
perienced by men who have lost an
arm or leg, says the Chicago Inter.
Ocean. There is special appropriate
ness in this because the matter is
largely one of experience or hallucina-
ton.
In the first year after the close of
the civil war the government distribut-
ed to discharged soldiers 1000 artific-
ial limbs. This represented probably
less than one-half of the men who lost
either an arm or leg. AS most of
these amputations were hastily per-
formed, 1T is not strange that nerves
were not as well taken care of as in
these modern days.
But whatever the cause, men who
suffered amputation had some strange
and trying experiences. For example,
an officer who never had had a hal
lucination in his life was at times tor
mented with an itching on the bottom
of the foot that had been cut off. The
sensation was just as if the foot had
been there and the victim had to bear
the itching beyond his reach.
A lawyer who had lost a leg, who
came some years ago to practice in
the Chicago courts, at times would
jump about on his one leg, excited
and veXed because he felt something
between the toes of his right foot
which had been taken off in the sec
ond year of the war. A general officer
Nxvh fxUn ~ nr-S xx-nS Dnf n
political campaigns would occasional
ly, in the midst of a speech, kick out
viciously with his cork leg. At such
times he had the feeling that the foot
on that leg was asleep and be
kicked TO start the circulation.
In another case a man who had LOST
an arm had the sensation of itching
between the fingers of the missing
hand He explained TO surgeon. and
= new operation relieved him. a man
who occasionally experienced a sharp
pain in the big toe of a missing foot
was relieved by a skillful but simple
operation.
Not a few surgeons in the civil war
laughed at what they called the whim-
sizes and Authorization of men who COM
VI queer ScDSdllOuS III dlnDu-
tated limbs. These surgeons insisted
that ever since limbs had been am
putated those who had lost arms and
legs had told strange stories of their
sensations. These affected the imagi-
nation, they contented, of men who
lost limbs in the war, and the more
the mind dwelt on the sensation the
more definite it became.
There were also many wounded who
were superstitious and given to fan
tastic notions to which they cling
tenaciously. Therefore the soldier who
complained of itching toes on a foot
that had been shot off received little
sympathy. In later years. however.
such cases have received more atten-
ton. Instead of laughing at the suf-
ferer, the modern surgeon studies to
relieve, and in most cases is success
full.
