Two Men of Note.


 There died last week two men who were prominent during and after the war, but who have grown old and have been forgotten in the rush of events Each played large part in the grea, events that shook the nation forty years ago
 One of these was Frank R. Lubbock of Texas, who was on the stan of Jef- ferson Davis in the last days of the war. and who was with him when he was captured. Lubbock returned to Texas and was elected State treasurer and then Gov ernor of the State and was 90 years old when he died
 The other man was Judge Stephen Neale of Lebanon, Indiana, the man who WI ote the fourteenth amendment to the constitution of the United States. It is not a work of which a man should be proud, but 1t entities a man to a place In history. even to defile a great work. Neale was a m ember of Con- gress and a man of considerable abil- ity and in his younger days was noted for his bitter enmity to the South, and his amer dment was largely intended to compensate for the loss of its slave property. Also to keep out of politics all the men possible, in order that the negroes might control the South in the interest of the Republican Party. The South has long ago forgiven Neaie and all it's war time enemies.

JEWELS OF VAST ANTIQUITY.
Discoveries Made at the Capital of ]. Ancient Persia.

Discoveries Made at the Capital ef |. Ancient Pefsia.
 Remarkable discoveries have been made in the ruins of the temples at susa. tho ancient capital of Persia, where marvels of 1ewelry have been brought to light. the earliest exam pies ever known of that country.
 The jewels of gold and silver are the first of those countries and those ages which have come down to the present day. In this they present . great in- terest Unfortunately. 1t is not pos sible to assign precise date to each of them. As the cylinders and the seals which form a part of the finds belong to all periods from the fortieth or fiftieth century B. c. down to the date of foundations. so 1t Is with the jewels. There are some of every age. The rings of filigree work and the scepter with the Hons head seem to De more recent than the statuettes of gold and silver. which have a frankly archaic appearance. but one can not be sure of this appreciation. Have the discoverers not been surprised by md ing rings which. if their origin had not been certain. would be attributed by the most acute connoisseurs to the Greek or Etruscan epochs?
 Before the discoveries at Dashur nothing was known of the Egyptian jewelry. The opening of the tombs of the princes of the twelfth dynasty was a revelation. 1t Is the same now as regards Elam.

 In a few moments another carriage arrived. Horton had placed his wire so that she could see into the dining hall, and Pearl gave 8 low. startled ex- clamation when she saw Jack Langdon enter with one of the chorus girls or the opera company.

 The doctor stood behind his wife and made a sign that seemed to change her mind.

A SHATTERED IDOL.
BY CHARLES w. CUNO. opyright, 1905. by Daily Story Pub

tC0pyrlgnt, lSOo. Dy Daliy otoTy fup fishing Col He was such a reckless, dare devil | of a man, this Jack Langdon. who
 wooed by main strength and would not take No for an answer. Meet me-" he had written. Meet me at the Suvesne reception. After
 wards we will go to the cotillion and | from there" -..- l He had left the rest expressively | blank.
 Pearl Horton had read the note once. twice, and again many times. At first | she was angry. what woman would not | be, but then she could not help recall | ing the gay way other women of her set had talked about their fiirtations. Why not she?
 why not?" she asked herself. why not?" she repeated so often as she dressed herself to go that she had ques- | toned herself into consent. She was dressed and ready when, why was 1t, that at the last moment her husband
 should say in his firm. quiet way that she feared to cross:
 Pearl wish you to go with me to
 the opera tonight. VIII you be
 pleased"
 No I won't" she exclaimed, T have
 made other engagements. Never mlnd." he said tenderly. '1et
 the other engagements go. I do so wish you to go with me tonight" Visions of Jack Langdon disappoint-
 ment. came to her mind and she ex- claimed petulantly, You're the most exasperating, unaccountable man ever met.
 Dr. Horton was a man with a broad and liberal mind. He loved his wife and he studied her moods. He saw with what innocent pleasure she played with the fire and resolved that if he L l. E and temptation, he would. In the club that day. he had heard something, a bit of Langdon's barroom braggadocio. probably, augmented by rumor. On the impulse of the moment his first thought was to seek out this man and give him a sound thrashing. but better council prevailed. Nor did he go home and raise fuss with his wife. He was far too good a general for that.
 There. there. my dear" he said, with touch of finality in his voice, We shall go to the reception afterward. If you like. What do you say, sweet heart?
 Mrs Norton accepted the inevitable with bad grace and bounced out of the room almost in tears. There's no help for 1t. I suppose" she exclaimed and sat down to pen Jack note. It read
 Dear Jack-That dolt of a husband of mine. tonight of all night in ,he world, wants m etc go to the opera. There's no nelp for 1t. I guess I must go. You will forgive me. will you not? Write me when I will see you again.
 AS ever, P."
 Dr. Horton, waiting in the hallway below heard the door slam on the hur- rying maid that carried the note to Langdon and the deep furrows on his brow relaxed little.
 Perhaps. who knows, he knew also of another note that reached his ene- my's hand at about the same time.
 It read:
 Dearest Jackie-Do come down to see me tonight. Meet me at the stage door at twelve ard we will have a time.
 Yours ever. cissey.
 "P. S.-Shall we go to Vane's? Don't forget a bunch of flowers. now will you. That's a dear boy"

WOMAN A MIGHTY HUNTER.
Kills Seven B(nrs and Mountain Lion
 On Ono Trip.

Miss Abbie Taggart of Denver recent ly returned to her home from the-Lake Tohoe district, where she shot and Kill ed seven bears and a mountain lion, not to mention small game.
 This locality. thirty-five miles rom Sonora, is wild and rugged. twenty five miles away Is Kennedy lake. a place especially favored by Miss Tag gart. who has often made the trip alone on her spirited horse. with hunting knife and ammunition at her belt ana rifle loaded for big game. She would not return to camp for two or three days, but her parents never worried. fo they knew her independent nature: ..
 Getting the first bear was a cinch' said Miss Taggart. was rlolhs along. when suddenly my horse gave snort and jumped about ten feet. Right ahead. among the pines. I discovered a black bear. I had been wishing for just this thing to happen. l determin- ed to kill that bear. but my horse was pirouetting about dreadfully. It was his first bear as well as mine. and he did not like it. After he had turned several somersaults and tried to climb a tree I jumped off and let him go
 Then I faced MT Bear. who was backing away and looking rather in .dignant, as if to say, Madam. you're in : truding, He eyed me savagely. put backed against log. stopped and glar- ed at me. This incident was verifica- tfon of the saying that He who hesi- fates is lost tok careful aim, fired and MT Bear was one last despairing grunt topled over.
 My next bear gave me fight. He weighed almost 800 pounds. and was as fierce as fifty devils. This time also was on Megaphone-my horse. The horse and I caught simultaneous glance of the huge baldface black bear. species are like those of the grizzly. They are ferocious fighters. That old fellow walked leisurely toward us, wagging his head from side to side, and regarding us with a murderous eye. When within about fifty feet of us he stood on his launches and blew whoof, whoof, whoof. I shouted at him all the hideous noices coud think of iujst to see if he would shoo, but he wouldn't.
 "Megaphone was plunging frightful- ly, and 1 had all I could do to keep the saddle Using my gun under such conditions was impossible, so l leaped to the ground and blazed away at the monster. The bullet did not strike right, and he jumped toward me madly. Quickly I fired again. this time sue cessfully, for the ball went through his head. Yes, I did have a narrow es- cane. probably, but 1t was all so ex- citing an dexhilarating that I didn't think of danger once. Next day l shot a mountain lion. No; I've never shot a deer, and I've seen lots of them, too. They are too pretty to kill. Rattle snakes and bears are my long suit. I've no use for either one"
