And sure enough, there in the ravine
were the ghosts of the massacred ne
groes executing their lantern dance. q
A little cross-questioning revealed the
fact that the roustabout had been hired
to murder the pilot and wreck the boat
on the rocks of Fort Pillow, and it was
due to his superstition that passengers
and cargo reached st. Louis in safety.
There is one story the old river men
tell that has in it an element Of mystt-
cism that is pathetically beautiful.

commission know of the sluggish old
rivers tendency to import farm from
the banks of the Missouri, carry it
down stream a few miles and then
dump it into the first convenient deep
water pool. A dam having been thus
formed. more sand is piled around it

her cargo that was not listed. Many
of the negroes had died and had been

have better treatment. The officers,
who were not already i'll, assisted at the
simple obsequies; but one of them stood
off and protested. Between sobs he re-

A Jackson Point the steamer landed
again, and despite his recent protest,
Sam Bowen was buried in the sand.
Before the willows had grown over the
two sunken graves a reef was deposit

against those two islands. In less than

The large array of toys spread out
on the table is a source of much
worriment on the part of the younsters

The choice between a Noah's Ark and
a mechanical automobile brought one
little fellow on the verge of mysteries.
He wanted both but could be happy

Here is Il simple method Of curing
facial neuralgia: If the neuralgia is or

should be placed in basin Of water
as hot as can be'borne. or If neuralgia
Is in the left side of the face then the
right hand should be placed in the hos

relief may be obtained in less thai
five minutes. The explanation Is that
the two nerves which have the great
