foRlGIN OF PIXIES PEAK.
Indian Legend of the Formation of
This Famous Mountain.


This Famous Mountain.
The quaint Indian legend Of the for
nation of Pixies peak is as follows:
cat the beginning of all things the
lesser spirits possessed the earth and
dwelt near the banks of the great
river. They had created race of men
to be their servants, but these men
were far superior to the present in
habitants of the earth and made end
less trouble for their creators There
fore the lesser spirits resolved to de-
stroy mankind and the earth itself, SO
they caused the great river to rise I'M
til it burst it's banks and overwhelmed
everything They themselves took each
a large portion of the best of the earth
that they might create a new world
and a quantity of maize, which had
been their particular food and return
ed to heaven. Arriving at the gate Of
heaven, which is at the end of the
plains, where the sky and mountains
meet, they were told that they could
not bring such burdens, Of earth into
heaven. Accordingly they dropped
masses made a great heap on the top
of the world which extended far
above the waters, and this is the origin
Of Pixies peak, whicheis thus shown to
be directly under the gate of heaven.
1T was formerly twice as high as now,
but lost its summit, as is told in an.
9stii1er 9sstti1er legead.l
'@The rock masses upon it and all
about show that they have been
dropped from the sky. The variety
and extent of the mineral wealth in
the region prove that the earth's ehoic-
est materials are deposited there. And
still as the considerations move across
the heavens and vanish above the
mountain SUBMITS we may see the
spirits rise from the great river and
pass to the gate of heaven. The fall
ing stars are their falling burdens or
the dropping grains Of maize"

In Darkest London.

In his book, Child Slaves of Great
Britain" Robert FL. Sherard writes:
There are thousands of our poor chill
dren i'll London starving not on ac-
count of the poverty of the parents,
but by reason of the ignorance and
sloth of the mothers. They know moth
ing of cookery; they wish to know
nothing. They do not care for the
trouble In every London slum you
will find a fried fish shop or a cooked
meat shop or a grocer who sells cheese
and pickles and potted things. 1t is
much easier and less worriting like, to
send the children out with coppers for
penn'orth of fish and chips or bit
of cheese and pickles than to cook any
thing for them

Dynamiters Wreck Several Buildings

ty National bank, OH the north side of

dynamite early in the day. The charge

are adjacent to the bank. The vault
was wrecked, but the smaller safe, in
which were the bank funds, was over
turned but is still intact. A strange
circumstance is that Walter Juntgen,
the bookkeeper of the bank, has a
broken arm, which, he says, was
caused by a brick flying into his win
dow across the square from the explo-
sion.

told by the Russians who escaped from
the sea fight in the Korean straits it
appears that the Japanese completely
surprised the Russian feet. The Rus

There was no sign of the Japanese
leet and the Russian ships were not
cleared for action nor were the bat
teries manned, The attack came with
a suddenness that made the ,unpre-
paredness of the Russians for battle a
glaring mistake that never could be
corrected.

AN AMATEUR DETECTIVE.
His First and Last Experience In
Tracing a Crime.


Tracing Crime.
II never attempted the Sherlock
Holmes business but once" said
Blythe, "and although | ran down the
person | was after the results were not
at all pleasant. One morning l missed
scarfpin, single pearl, worth about
$50 | valued it more for it's associa-'
tions than almost anything else l had.
I decided to say nothing about it to my
wife, because things of that sort al
ways upset her. She suspects the serv-
ants and does not hesitate to let them
see it. Advertising a reward brought
no results. One morning nearly two
years after the pin was lost | saw it in
the window of a pawnshop not three
blocks from my home. [ knew the po-
lice captain of the precinct and induced
him to send one of his ward men with
me to the pawnshop. Matters were
soon explained. l was able to prove
my ownership of the pin. The pawn
broker consulted his books.
''That pin,' he said, twas brought
here by a woman who regularly pawns
things here on commission. 1t is busi-
ness, the same as shopping e. commits
sion. Many persons, especially wom-
en-, who find it necessary to raise lit
tie money in a hurry, are afraid to go
in person to the pawnshop.
''He gave me the name and address
of the woman who pawned my pin, and
/ looked her up. I don't want to make
any trouble for you,' said, but that
pin was stolen. Just take me to the
person who gave it to you to pawn,
and you'll not be the loser
''she complied willingly. She said
she was sent for by woman who had
read her advertisement and was given
the pin to pawn in the usual course OF
business. She got $50 for it, and after
deducting her commission had paid the
money over to her customer and given
her the ticket. She went to the pawn
shop nearest the house to save time.
Not until we were at my own doorstep
did realize where the woman was
taking me.
'esDo you mean to say that you got
the pin in this house?' l inquired.
g Certainly she replied. 1T was
given to me by a tall woman with red
hair. If she still lives here | should
know her in a minute.
That will do said Here is 50
for your trouble l shall be obliged by
your not mentioning this incident to
anybody
1.-The woman she had described was
my wife. We had bad quarter OF an
hour She had pawned the pin to get
money for a rascallion of a brother,
who had since fled to Canada. He stole
the ticket from her and had evidently
been unable to sell it before he skipped.
And the poor woman had been living IN
mental torture for months because she
was afraid to tell me. That experience
cured me of hankering for the detec-
tive business New York Times.

CAPITALIST DEAD.
Former We'll Known Railroad Han
 Dies of Paralysis,

Portland. Ore, Aug. sc. H. Pres. cott capitalist of this city and at one time prominent in railroad circles died last night as the result of d stroke of paralysis which occurred six weeks ago. Mir Prescott was born In Boston in 1889 and entered the rail- day business in 1869. He was at one time auditor and cashier of the Mis- souri River, Fort Scott and Gulf rail- road, and at different times manager of the Oregon railroad and navigation company, and second vice-president of the Northern Pacific railroad. When the latter road went into the hands of a receiver in 1893, Mir Prescott was appointed receiver of the western d. vision. Of late years he has been the trustee of Boston, Mass, capitalists, who have large holdings of real es- tate In Portland.
