day long he had been sitting alone on
the jutting cliffs which overhang the
water, far. away from the laughter
and shouts Of the camp, eagerly, pray
erfully watching the great lake. Sure
ly the Great Spirit would hear his
prayer and give him the moment he
longed for, yet he had been here
for days and weeks in unavailing
prayer and waiting.
The afternoon was well-nigh spent,
and the heart of the young brave had
grown cold as stone. In his bitter
despair he sprang to his feet to defy
and curse the Great Spirit to whom he
had trusted, but ere he could utter the
words his very soul stood still for joy.
Slowly rising from the center of the
lake, he saw the dreaded Ong. Cir
cling high in the heavens like a vast
shapeless thunder cloud, black as the
night the monster swept, now here,
now there in search of prey. The
young brave stood erect. When the
Ong was nearest, he waved his arm to
attract its notice. He had not long
to wait. With a mighty swoop and an
awful rushing noise the bird dashed
to earth, and as it swept upward, the
young brave was seen by all to be

cry of horror arose from the camp,
but it was the sweetest note the
young brave had ever heard. The

fall. Again they closed and opened,
and the enraged bird thrust down his

the Ong's nest and no mOrsel ever
escaped him. Sometimes he would
fly about the shores in quest of some
child, or woman or hunter, yet he was
a great coward, and was never known
to attack anyone in camp, or when
two or more were together. No arrow
could pierce his feathers, nor could
the strongest spear do more than
glance from the scales on his face and
legs, yet his craven's heart made him
afraid. for his foes had no claws, and
his mouth no beak.

The Ong was huge bird, greater
than the houses of the white men. Its
body was like the eagles, and its
wings were longer than the tallest
pines. Its face was that of an IN
dian, but covered with hard scales,
and its feet were webbed. It's nest
was deep down in the bottom OF the
lake out in the center, and out of the
nest rushed all of the waters which
fill the lake. There are no rivers to
feed the lake, only the waters from
the Ong's nest ALI the waters flow
back near the bottom, in great under
sweeps, and after passing through the
meshes of the nest are sent forth
again. Every plant and bird and ami

The women had been long in their

youth had been many times warned
by his elders that he should not go
hunting alone as had been his habit
Of late.
But while the warriors were work

quence over their bygone deeds of
daring, an Indian maiden was pad

why the Ong had acted SO queerly,

her lover. She took her own frail

a little story was told at the New
Willard Hotel in Washington the other
day by q New Yorker who was travel
ing on q Pullman car between st.
Louis and his home, which goes TO
show the danger of convicting a man on
circumstantial evidence. The principal
figure In this incident was not con-
yicted, but had it not been Tor a for
tuitous circumstance it might have
gone hard with him.
1T seems that one Of the occupants
of the car on getting out of his berth to
dress missed his vest, which was
rather serious affair, inasmuch as 1t
contained in an inside pocket roll OF
money which consisted OF six brand
new 500 bills.
"a little later he picked up the gar
ment on the door, but on searching, the
roll Of money was gone. 1t was a
clear case Of robbery, and the man
naturally raised an excited outcry,
which drew the attention of all his

the proposition to search everybody In
that coach was made and adopted with
but single dissenting voice. One man
stood out fiercely and Indignantly
against 1t, and said that he would
never consent to such an indignity, but
would oppose it with all the force he
could employ.

CH1CKAMAGUA ANEIYERSARY.
One Of the Great Battles Of the Rebel

General Lytles

One Of the Great Battles Of the Rebel
lion Tragic Death Of Poet-Soldier
General Lytles
Forty-two years ago the latter part
Of September was fought and won by
Rosecrans the great battle of Chicka-
magua.
Chattanooga, the objective point OF
the campaign, has been well considered
the very gateway Of the entire South.
Bragg, in command of the Confederate
force, was outwitted and outma-
neuyred, and the town of Chattanooga
fell Into Federal hands, entirely by
strategy.
Chattanooga was then but a poor,
struggling village, never having been
even heard Of by one in a thousand Of
those who composed the Northern
army. It is now a wealthy, prosperous
city Of over 10000 inhabitants and the
home of many Northern families. An
electric line runs from the city to
Chlckamagua Park every 80 minutes.
The celebration Of the anniversary
Of the battle, from the 10th to the 23d
Of September, where the tales Of the
campfire and the picket line were once
more recounted, has been Of surprising
interest to thousands of old veterans
and their quondam foes.
The leader., 1905-10-28

The battle of Chickamagua, which
followed Chattanooga, was most desper-
ately contested on both sides.
Bragg was reinforced by veteran
corps from Virginia, under Longstreet
and Buckner's Corps from East Ten
nessee. until his forces outnumbered
Rosecrans' by over $1,000, and yet the
Northern army, by wise and vigorous
marching day and night over noun
tains and through passes, and by the
concentration of widely scattered
forces, inflicted such terrible losses
that Bragg was incapable of any but
the most cautious following when
Rosecrans fell back to occupy Chatta-
nooga, for which he had been contend
ing.
Among the many brave officers on
both sides who gave up their lives for
their beloved causes there was none
braVer, none more mourned than the
Union Brigadier-G General, VIM. II.
Lytle. About to give the order to
charge, he wars struck in the head by a
bullet and fell dying in the arms OF his
aid.
His poem of "Anthony and Cleopa-
ira" generally believed to have been
composed the night before the battle,
but which. as a matter of fact, was an
earlier production, has been classed as
one of the most mastery lyrics In
American poetry.

And the dark, PIutonian shadows

Let not Caesars serviIe minions
Mock the lion thus laid low;
Twas no foeman's hand that slew
him,
Twas his own that struck the blow.
Here, then, pillowed on thy bosom,
Ere his star fades quite away,
Him who, drunk with thy caresses
Madly flung a world away!
Should the base plebeian rabble
Dare assail my fame at Rome,
Where the noble spouse, Octavia,
Weeps within her widowed home;
Seek her-say the Gods have told me,
Affairs, Augurs, circling wings,
That her blood with mine commin-
gled,
Yet shall mount the throne Of
kings.
And for thee, star-eyed Egyptian!
Glorious sorceress of the Nile,
Light the path to stygian honors
With the splendors of thy smile.
Give the Caesar crowns and arches,
Let his brow the laurel twine;
can scorn the Senate's triumphs
Triumphing in love like thine.
