said that crops in his section are
good, but the wind storm last
Wednesday damaged them some.
Corn was blown down and he
said the wind pulled much Of the
cotton up BY the roots in his field
and carried it out above the
timber. This is accounted for
because the land is loose and had
been thoroughly plowed and har-
rowed. No damage was done to
other property except . few

Of our large cities. The tunnels ran
far out into the field, sometimes in
long, irregular single loops, and some
times crossing and recrossing other
tunnels, until it was no easy matter
to trace them. But all the tunnels led
to the hole into which I had accident
ally stepped, and this was very sug-
gestive Of a great railroad terminus.
The whole represented no insignificant
engineering feat on the part of the

found that the ridges were the roofs

/ presently verified the observation by
suddenly opening one of the shocks, to
see several >dark-brown, short-tailed

cornstalks.
Going along country road a few
days later, came upon the track of
mink. The visible part of the trail
ended abruptly at a hole in the snow,
and some 20 yards further on reap
peared at another hole Between the
two holes there was tunnel, and the
mink had evidently traversed the
length of it. Now why had he gone in
there? The surface was firm enough
to bear his weight Doubtless he knew
that under the deep snow are to be
found many of the small creatures on
which he preys, and doubtless he has
enough success in hunting them to pay
him for his trouble. It would be in
teresting to know whether he captures
the mice by running them down as
they are tunnelling through the snow.

mouse when he hears a mink steadily

oner, noting the Christians love of
gold, promised if his captor would
give him back his freedom he would
fill the room in which he and Pizarro
were conversing with gold as high as a
man could reach with his hands. Pr
zarro accepted the proposal with Gag
erness, and the Inca sent to Cuzco.
Quito and other places where gold had
been accumulated in large quantities
for the decoration of the temples and
palaces. The lncas promptly began to
carry out the commands of their SOW
ereign, and the ransom came pouring
in. Pizarro sent soldiers out into the
provinces to hurry the remainder, and.
though the Inca priests secreted much
treasure, his men brought back 27
loads of gold and 1000 marks of sill
yer, whilst others returned with glow
ing accounts of the riches of the lands
visited. A fifth of the treasure was
sent to Spain, and Pizarro received the
next large share, along with Atahu-
allpa's throne of gold, his supporters
and soldiers also being richly reward
ed. But though Atahuallpa paid this
prodigtous ransom, he did not win the
stipulated freedom. The Inca SOW
ereign was shamefully put to death.

PROPHECY OF THE WAR.
New York Clerk Declares Present Con.
fict Will Involve America and
Will Cost 10000, 900 Men.

A spirit, which he says appeared to him
several years ago and returned to re-
peat its warning at various intervals, has
vealed to Chesser Lortie, of BROOKLYN,
the coming of vast war that is to in
volve zoe, 900 900 people, and in which co.
100000 will be killed To forestall this
horror Lortie has written President
Roosevelt and Pope Plus to warn them
that the war between Russia and Japan
is the beginning of the threatened strug-
gle, in which Japan, England and the
United States are to be arrayed against
Russia, Germany and france. Austria,
Spain, Italy and Turkey are to be in
volved, and the outcome of the whole
mixup will be that Turkey will be dis
membered and England will be severely
beaten. She will be saved from destruc-
ton, he says, only by the timely assist
ance of the United States.
Lortie predicts that by March 10 the
vital change will occur. The prophet is
80 years old and lives with widowed
mother and brother in a fiat in East New
York. He has been a clerk in the en-
ploy of the Long Island railroad 13 years,

When one reads of this wealth of
precious metal, the glory of Solomon s
possessions seems to lose somewhat of
its luster. But the history of the Incas
is tale Of rich reward untiring in
dustry, of the most careful develop
ment of resources, of a people of adj
vanced attainment and much dignity.
The Incas were the aristocratic order
that reigned in ancient Peru the 800
years from the thirteenth to the six
teenth century. In it's greatest extent,
the Inca empire included nearly all of
the highlands Of Ecuador, Peru, b.
livia and northern Chilli; and within
the broad confines of this empire the
civilization of the red race reached it's
highest development; here the Incas
carried On their paternal despotism.
The communities were almost ideal
ly socialistic, the common good being
of first Importance, the individual not
paramount. The land was divided into
three portions; one portion consecrat-
ed to the sun, which was a symbol Of
their worship; one to the Inca, and one
was allotted among the people in pro-
portion to the rank and members of a
family. The first was sufficient for the
building of the wonderful Inca tenn
pies, the support of the priesthood and
of public worship, and the second pro-
vided for the expenses of the royal
household and for defraying public
expenditure.
An ancient and remarkable civiliza-
ton had existed in Peru prior to the
rising Of the Incas, but in time the In
cas- became the dominating race Ira
dition points to Inca Nance Capac,
child of the sun, as founder, in the
eleventh century, of the magnificent
city of Cuzco, capital city of the Inca
empire, where stood the glorious tenn
pie of the sun and the so-called Inca
fortress.

fully invaded Peru and made the Inca
ruler, Atahuallapa, captive, his pris-
