III the Mississippi valley, occupied by
some two hundred and seventy per
sons, many of them women and chill
dren. of whom all but seventeen were
put to death by the Creeks, one Of tho
tribes which the English had won
over for allies.
Gov. Claiborne had foreseen this
threatened peril, but was powerless tc
avert 1t. for his forces were few and
scattered, while the Indians seemed in
Vulnerable, and moved with wonderful
activity. But the governor did all in
his power to restore confidence; and
not long afterward Gen. Jackson ut
terly destroyed the Creeks at Talla-
dega.
"My heart may be telling me wrong
fully, Pierre" Jean said, as the two sat
talking in their abode at Grande Terre
"a cabin outside, but luxurious with
in, "but / have a feeling that If now
go to the emperor / may find the op-
portunity for serving him; and that
this may prove to him the love that
has never died."
Perhaps" answered Pierre, hesi-
tatingly. But what is ii that makes
you think you may be OF service to the
emperor and France?"
"To say truth, / have no idea that
is definite; but feel an irresistible in
clination to go, and see If the oppor-
tunity offers"
"If you should find service over
there-then what?"
\ why" replied Jean, then you can
wind up our matters here, and come
over to join me. Why not?"
"Why not, indeed? That is assured
ly what Iwould do, if" and Pierre
hesitated for an instant-"I could"
"And what can PREVENT"
in such case," Pierre replied de-
liberately, there would be valuable
cargo to come with me, and watchful
enemies here to blind. Then possibly,
or most probably, by summer or fall,
with the English vessels patrolling the
waters around us, the safe getting
away might not be so easy a matter"
Summer and fall are not now," was
the oracular declaration; "and by the
time they come, it may be that the
English will have been made TO sink
home again, as once before
81 don't feel at all sure as to that, -
Pierre commented, as he rose to cover
the embers upon the hearth. Then,
turning to Jean, he continued, as
though there had been no Interrupt
ton, 81 tell thee, lad, that Louisiana
has always possessed a great attrac-
tion for Great Britain"
Grant it," said Jean, rising and
stretching himself. "Then all the more
reason why, in case they succeed in
obtaining it, that we should wish TO
live somewhere else"
"Ah, but | am not saying that they
will rule here!" exclaimed Pierre, with
a showing of anger at thought Of the
possibility suggested by jeans words.
God forbid"
Amen to that" said Jean, laughing
at the quick change in his foster
brothers manner and look; and they
soon parted for the night.
1t was a bright morning in May that
| the "Black Petrel," with Jean Lafitte
and a picked crew, and bearing a car
go Of rich merchandise, sailed from
Barataria and Pierre, his heart filled
with loneliness and misgivings, sat on
the bluff, watching her sails until they
melted away on the horizon.

pool is called the Devils Boiling Pot,
and it was in this receptacle that his
satanic majesty was supposed to have
cooked his boiled dinners.
Close by the boiling pot the devil
had nice big oven in which to bake
his turkeys and pumpkin pies. The
oven lacks a door by which TO keep
the heat on the inside, but it was the

which she had so long suffered, she spoke
as follows:
"Ever since I had nervous prostration,

1908, was being treated for kidney
trouble, and later the doctor thought my
difficulties came from change OF life. I
was not only weak, but had dizzy
feelings. palpitation Of the heart, misery
after eating, hot flashes, nervous head
aches, rheumatic pains In the back and
hips. The doctor did me so little good
that + gave up his treatment, and really
feared that my case was incurable."
What saved you from your state of
hopelessness?"
"In July Of 1908 I had very bad
spell, and my husband came in one day
with a little book which told OF rersark-
able cures effected by remedy for tho

DEVILS Den In New Hampshire.

Whether or not New Hampshire was
at one time specially favored by his
satanic majesty in the selection OF his
dwelling places local folklore does not
state with any degree Of positiveness,
but certain it is that from time away
back the evil one has been accredited
with having maintained an all-the-year-
round home in that state, and that,
too, within the confines Of what is now
the little town of Auburn, seven miles
from the city of Manchester, eastward
as the crow flies toward the sea.
Not only is the devil accredited with
having been resident Of that locality,
but moss-covered legends have 1t that
he also maintained a separate estab-
!ishment-a church-a DEVILS church,
an open-door affair, from pulpit in
which he was wont to expound his evil
doctrines. The home of the devil in
Auburn is known to-day, and has long
been known as the DEVILS Den, and it
is so recognized in official historical
documents. The church" is located
in the town of Bedford, few miles
away, and has long been known as the
Devils Pulpit.
The Devils Den is a cave. whose
black and awesome mouth yawns be-
hind a thick screen of leaves in the
summertime, within a few yards of the
shaded turnpike on the outskirts Of
Auburn village, and in the winter,
when the leaves have gone. frowns
upon the traveller who may chance
that way. Low-browed is the entrance
and low-browed are the Railways,
which would indicate that his satanic
majesty was either very short in stat
ure or else an adept in the contortion
| line.
Within the cavern there are no stall
actited and lofty -domed chambers in
| fact, there is q decided lack Of accom-
modations in the way of room, it be-
! ing necessary for one to remain dou-
bied like a jack-knife a greater part
Of the time spent in exploring its re-
cesses. There are no ancient records
to show that the devil was hump
| backed, but long residence in a cave
with the characteristics of the Au.
burn devils den would be pretty sure
to fasten a stoop of some kind on to
one, or to inculcate into ones general
| makeup what is now vulgarly desig-
mated as the kangaroo walk"
The Devils Den is the despair Of
amateur photographers it being very
difficult to obtain good pictures of It.
The entrance to the cavern is so situ-
ated that good results are not easily
arrived at, and the interior Is in alb
solute darkness, the dripping damp
ness, the cramped and tortuous pass
ages being proof against the assaults
Of the flash.ight.

THE oENTLEMANLY KOREAN
He Is Leisursly in His Manner and Always Mindful of His
 Appearances

The Korean is above everything else a man of the drawing room and all his instincts move along the leisurely ways of life. Anything like haste or len pressement" is unknown to the eter- nal laws that govern him. This char acteristie of his, says the North China Herald, is evident in all his actions at all times and under all conceivable circumstances. Being a drawing room gentleman, dress is the great ambition of his life. From the shoes of his feet to the topknot on the top of his head he is ordered so as TO be seen and ad- mired of men.
 His shoes, during this year of mourn ing, must be spotlessly white. Not an atom of dust or fly speck shall mar them. His socks. beautifully puffed, are stitched to perfection. his panta- looms, big enough for Brobdingnag. are padded, quilted and ironed. until they come forth looking like some mysreri- ous fabric of polished marble, his jacket likewise and his overcoat and wristlsts.
 Not only has he headband, top knot and hat on his head, but he buys pair of spectaeles and adds them to his already oyereharged head gear. and thus rigged. with a ring on his finger and a fan in his hand, he goes forth to make his way through this troubled world.

JEWISH PHYSICIANS.

An interesting survey of Jews as members of our profession is to be obtained from q little work entitled "Judischa Acrzte und ihr Einluss alf das Judentum." which has just been Issued by Dr Simon Scherbel. One of the most prominent of the earlier per scnages mentioned is Chasdai, who became minister under the Calf Alb due Rahman III. and did much to es- tabllsh the position of the Jews among the Moslems in Spain during the tenth century. as we'll as to foster the study of the Talmud in that country. Jehuda Haleyi. who lived a hundred years later. was a busy physician who was also the author of distinguished prac tical and philosophical works. The great Malmonides of COrdova is in- cluded among the list of physicians by the author. who says that he created what is almost a new Talmuf. and al Ieges that Richard Occur de Leon wished to make him his court phySi- elan in spite of the edicts of the Popes Eugenius. Nicholas and CaliXtus that Christians should not employ Jewish physicians.
 In Spain for many years they were practically the only practitioners of medicine. Somewhat later Pope Alex ander VI had as personal physician Jew. Bnnet de I.ates. who subsequent ly became attached to the court of Leo x. The edict against Jewish phy- sicfans was finally raised by Sixtus V. largely at the instigation of two 4hau rafahrafad rhvsfgfauE David dc Pomis and Elta Monta1t1 Tn the lat ter part of the eighteenth century Nendelssohn's efforts fin behalf of his comuatriots were ably seconded by his friend the physician Marcus Herr, who contributed much toward tbe elevation of fbe Jews in Germany.

JAPANESE AFTER THE WAR
Returned Soldiers Will Hereafter Weigh All Others in Their
 Own Balance.

Japanese publicists are already alive to the inevitable changes in the social conditions of their country likely to be brought about by the war. The editor of the HainiehI shimhun, who is also deputy 70 the Japanese parliament. contributes 10 the last number of the European a strong article in which he forecasts the effect of the great nation al struggle on the national spirit. His chief point is that it will exert a dem ocratizing influence on the people. After the var Is ended every soldier will remember that he has done his country service" and when the men return to their homes they will think little of social distinetions-they will weigh all their fellow subjects in the same balsnoa"
 In spite of this eoualizing tendency. the writer anticipates that economic changes consequent on the var will widen the gulf between the rich ard poor. -in a word. while public opinion tends toward equality, the financial sit uation will tend to create a social abyss" Hence he appeals to the gov srning classes to mitigate the dangers of the situation by an sxtension of the franchise-ths sxpedfent adopted by the British govsrnueut after 1875 ard oy Germany after 1s7a

THURSDAY, OCT 26, 1905.

District Attorney Jerome is making the fight of his life in New York, and it looks at this distance as if he were gaining on the other fellows. The withdrawal of the regular republican candidate, Charles A. Hammer, makes his chances still better, and it will be hard work to elect Osborne, with all Tammany's powerful machine Com menting on Jerome's chances the Hartford Times last evening said: If the editors of the independent news papers in New York wish to see MT Jerome reelected as district attorney why don't they furnish him the neces- sary money for his campaign fund, which is only a little more than S20000 to date? The proprietor of the World, which is calling most strenu- ously for Jerome's election is probably worth S25,OO0,OOO, and has an income of more than S1,000OO0 a year. Yet Jerome is forced to take f1ve-dollar subscriptions from people in other states, and cannot get enough of them for the expenses of his campaign. There are times when all this noisy clamor in the press of New York for good government makes us weary.

Word has gone out that the Honor able Charles A. Prouty, one of the Interstate Commerce commissioners, must resign. This Is of more impor- tance than appears on its face, be cause of the insistence with which railroad rate legislation in the coming session of congress turns up as a live issue, says Washington writer. Prouty is a thorn in the side of the administration and Roosevelt wants to get rid of him So Prouty must go. His offence was the discovery that the Honorable Paul Morton ,eX-Secretary of the Navy, was a prince of rebaters. and that If the president wanted tO have the public believe that he was honest in his assertions that he want cd to punish rebaters. he must get af- ter Paul with a sharp stick. Instead, he got after him with whitewash brush you remember. and Paul went to the Equitable Life of New York to rub of a little of that whItewash on some of the officials of that institution
 Prouty uncovered Morton's mlsdoinEs too plainly to suit the republican man agers and put Roosevelt In a bad hole Of course the president got out Of the hole as best he could and contented himself with a bIuT by ordering the prosecution Of the Atchinson. Topeka & Santa Fe railroad as a corporaion.
