Doctors said 1t was i'm possible for him to recover, and a cavalry officer, under whom Cherokee was serv- ing as a scout. sent in his name among the list of dead. Thus "Cherokees' name is now on the list of dead soldiers in the records of the interior department at Washington, for his commanding officer moved on with the column before "Chero- kee' proved him wrong by recovering. He bears with him a broad scar entirely across the left side of his neck as a souvenir of that occasion.
 Some years ago Cherokee" surprised the country by marrying a comedy and dashing young actress in New York, who left the stage and went with him to his Indian Territory ranch. This young wo- man was Catherine Beach, daughter of a cavalry major and a protege of Senator Clark of Montana. It was she who posed for the famous silver statue which Mon tana sent to the worlds fair at Chicago. Ada Rehan was originally selected as the model but the change was made because or protest from the people of Montana who thought young woman of that state should serve.

tended toward the east it will pass very near this star. In the same way the worth Star can readily be located, for it lies almost in the straight line joining the first two stars of the bowl of the dipper
 The constitution and temperature of this star are very like those of our own sun. It is so enormously far away that a ray of light, though 1t moves more than lS6.300 miles in a single second re- quires more than three hundred years to make the journey from the star to us; the light with which We now view this body therefore must have left the star more than three hundred years ago. Arcturus Is approaching us at the rate of four miles in each second.
 To the east of Bootes there is deli cate little group of faint stars which form one of the most beautiful figures Of the entire sky. This Is Corona Borealis, the Northern Crown a group of about dozen naked eye stars arranged in the form of an almost perfect oval. The con- stellation has been known ever since the fifth century B. C., as the crown or Ariadne. It will be remembered how Ariadne, the Cretan Princess, assisted by the Greek hero Theseus, to slay the Min oteur, giving him a clew of thread by

 % MES up. Get off the earth" has
 passed from the lexicon of slang
 to the living literature of a dread ful reality. Mankind is doomed-his race Is run-and the kingdom of birds will claim this globe as it's own. And you will be bird if you escape the evolu- tion.
 This appalling prospect has been hurled in the face of the worlds population by Prof. Samuel w. Williston of the Chi versity of Chicago. His students in paleontology first heard the words sound ing their knell yesterday.
 When? Oh, not this spring. Tie women may continue to use tile birds feathers in their hats for another year. The tlans- formation will not take place for 10000, ,OOC years or so, but there is nothing like being warned In time.
 All this is going to be brought about by the passing of another feeting geo. logic period. A few hundred million years ago there was nothing but fish Friday and every other day. Then came the amphibians, when giant toads and frogs and salamanders sixteen feet long were the trust magnates of the day.
 Next came the reptiles ,and the gentle dinosaur had his day of authority. Our forefathers, the apes, and Darwin ex- plained how they lost caste and man be- came the worlds conqueror.
 < During all these periods there have been birds of one kind and another. Per haps you were one of those who saw the first robin this spring. You may have to answer for that yarn when the robin is counted among the monarchs of the earth. Some venerable bluebird, too, in the coming centuries, may be telling its grandchildren of it's recollections of the last man.
 Men have become too highly specialized, says Professor Williston. They are all brains and no body. They have paid too much attention to politics and books, and now at this critical time they have no chance of developing wings or fins, which might save them from their fate.
 '"Fhe fishes, amphibia, reptiles and mammals have in turn been created and have been the dominant types of the earth" said Professor Williston. Each has become too highly specialized, and consequently has become extinct, while the next has risen to the highest point

 O and personal .liend of President Roosevelt, who was given d position as guard at the Lewis and Clark exposition at the request of the President, has re- ported for duty, and is now patrolling the grounds looking for infractions of the law Cherokee Bill" whose real name appears on the pay-rolls as Elijah IIinkead, does not find his new position quite as exciting as chasing Indians or Texas bank robbers, but then, he says, things may get a little livelier when the exposition is opened June l, and the Trail the amusement street of the fair, is in full swing.
 | Cherokee" who is known far and wide for his exploits on horseback and under fire gained favor with President Roose- welt at the time when, as member of the : Rough Riders,' he charged up San Juan hill. "Cherokee Bill' gained wide atten- ton at that time by rushing up the hill under a hail of bullets well in the van of his regiment. He was armed with a Cuban machete with which he hacked down the famed barbed wire Instructions. lille also carried rifle, which he used now and then, and to just what advan- tage number of Spanish gentlemen will be able to offer testimony on resurrection day, when that important occasion ar rives.
 President Roosevelt has said of "Chero- kee" that he is one of the best shots and most fearless horsemen he has ever met, which means considerable in view of the fc rar
 However, "Cherokee's" chief claim to fame does not lie in the charge of San Juan hill. Long before that he was known all over the western border. Among his other exploits was the capture of a gang of outlaws at Wichita Falls, Texas. Also Bagby a noted outlaw, appeared in the thrifty little town of Wichita Falls one day. He carried a leather wallet in one hand and a six-shooter in the other. With these he entered the principal bank and requested the. cashier to elevate his hands. That individual assented with alacrity, but at this ill-chosen moment Cherokee Bill' loomed in through the front door
 Instead of surrendering. the outlaw opened fire "cherokee' did the same thing. When the cloud of smoke lift ed the bank robber was lying down. A hunk of lead from "Cherokee's" weapon had punetured his heart

THE beautiful evening sears. Jupiter
 and Venus, which for three months
 have shone out brightly in the west, will disappear from our sight dur ing April to be seen no more in the early evening until next autumn. Venus be- fore 1t finally withdraws from the west ern sky will grow so exceedingly bright that it will be easily visible even in full daylight to one who knows just where to look for it. It increases so greatly in brightness because the planet is drawing continually nearer to the earth; when it is nearest to us it is almost in a straight line between the earth and sun. It then sets very soon after sunset and through a small telescope is seen to be a very nar- row. brilliant little crescent like the moon when three or. four days old. This appearance is best seen after April 20.
 Meanwhile. as some compensation for the loss of these two beautiful worlds, a new object is beginning to climb up in the sky toward the east. This Is the ruddy planet. Mars, which for months has been rising a little earlier each night. On

any satisfaction, however, the observer must select a moonless night and he must not be too near the bright lights of a town or city.
 The most important of the new con- stellations is Bootes, the Hunter. a group so large that it stretches all the way from the handle of the Great Dipper al- most to the celestial equator. This con- stellation has a distant resemblance to man with upraised arm, who Is driving the Great Bear before him. To the west of Bootes just below the handle of the Great Dipper, will be found a group of small stars called the Hunting Dogs. This group is referred to by Carlyle in Sartor Resartus:
 "Bootes, as he leads his hunting dogs over the zenith in their leash of sideral fire"
 As the hours of the night go on the Hunter follows the Great Bear across the sky. When he reaches the western horizon and begins to set so large is the constellation that his head does not sink below the ground until eight hours after his feet have disappeared. For this req son Bootes is described as sluggish: He, when tired of the day.
 At evening fingers more than half the
 night"
 The little group of stars at M. Fig. l, is seen with small telescope to be made up of three principal stars surrounded by numerous fainter ones. The upper one of the three is beautiful double and the lower triple star, the whole forming a very fine object for a small telescope.
 The very bright star at A Is Arcturus, beautiful reddish star, but one which has always borne an evil reputation among the ,astrologers, since diseases were believed to be especially apt to prove critical If they began soon after it's rising.

Criticism Thrown Away

From the Newark News.
 A turtle lay summing itself on rocky ledge by Verona lake. There came along a sandhill crane and a woodShuck.
 Look at thatln eroaked the crane. What is it, anyway"
 That's turtle,' said the woodchuck. Sad locker. isn't he?"
 Yea, verify; and a sad actor, besides. He couldn't climb stone wall to save his life.'
 Such a broad, ugly back" said the crane.
 Look at the wrinkles on his neck" added the woodehuck. See the mud on his claws.'
 And what nasty yellow eye he hasl' My friend" said the woodchuck ad- dressing the turtle, why don't you try to look like the rest of us?p
 Yes, put in the crane, why don't you learn to skip around-like this?" And the bird executed a graceful gyration. For answer the turtle drew his head and feet into his shell.
 Whats the use of critizing an animal like that?' cried the woodchuck.
 No use at all," sighed the crane. "One might as well talk to trolley company

most remarkable new stars which has ever appeared. On the 18th of May, 1866, this object was seen to blaze out sud- denly as a star of the second magnitude It remained visible to the naked eye for only eight days, fading rapidly away to the tenth magnitude and then slowly growing brighter again. It has remained visible in the telescope ever since as a yell low, ninth magnitude star.
 This was the first new star ever studied with the spectroscope. This instrument showed that at the time of its greatest brightness the star was an enormously not sun entirely surrounded by great masses of incandescent hydrogen, which for some cause had been suddenly forced out from the interior of the heated globe.

inch telescope, but on January 12 1t passed around the sun and since then it has been receding very rapidly from the earth and consequently growing fainter. It is now only visible in the largest telescopes. The body appears to be moving around the sun in an elliptic path the period be- ing seven and one-half years.
 The Planets.
 Venus and Jupiter are now too low in the west to be shown in Fig 1; the small rectangle T. N. is therefore enlarged in Fig. 2 and the paths of the planets dur ing the month are marked on 1t. The Pleiades at P, and the stars T, R and s are the same in both figures; if the ob- server will look in the west for these stars soon aIter sunset he will have no trouble in finding all of the stars of Fig 2, since only the brightest are marked.
 The observer should not fail to look for the planet mercury, the little body which so few people havc ever seen. He will best find 1t by noticing it's position with reference to Jupiter and Venus and this he can readily do from the map. On April mercury will set one and one-half hours after sunset.
 Through a telescope the planet is seen to pass through phases just as the moon and Venus do. When mercury is full 1t appears smallest and when a narrow crescent largest as shown in Fig. 3.
 The positions of Mars and Neptune are shown in Fig 1. Fig. shows three draw ings of Mars made from the telescope. In each of these the polar ice cap can be clearly seen.
 The other planets are too near the sun to be observed in the early evening dur ing April.

April 1 it rises about 10 o'clock, and is not we'll up in the sky before midnight, but by the end of the month it will rise be- fore 8, and will be well situated for ob- servation by 10. This planet and the earth are both rushing so rapidly toward each other that their distance apart Is diminished from 75,0O0,0O0 to only 51,0O0,000 of miles during the four weeks period. As we draw near to the planet it grows very much brighter, so that by the end of the month it will be by far the most con- spicuous object in the southeastern heav- ems Yet it will even far more brilliant in May, and this will be the best month of the year for observing 1t.
