The African n,.nu

The African drum appears in varied
and often picturesque forms. The ma
tives make drums out Of shells, tree
trunks or earthenware, covered with
the skin of some wild animal or some
times with india rubber. OF the origi-
nal calabash drums there is probably
only one specimen in Europe. Some of
the drums are highly 0rnamented
either by painting or carving. One
specimen, indeed. has puzzled travellers,
for there is depicted on t unmistaka-
bly, a cross and also heal of European
type. drum found in upper Lualaha

STOOD FOR TwENTy-oNe YEARS.
Charley Rsdbourn's Great Feat Of
Pitching Never Equaled.


Pitching Never Equaled.
In the twenty-one years that have
gone by since 1t was made, no pitcher
has ever equaled the record of Charles
Radbourn, the mainstay of the victor
ious Province Grays when that team
won the championship of the National
League In 1884 for the second time.
The club had but two first class bat
teries, Radburn and Gilligan, Sweeney
and Nava, and 1t seemed crippled when
Charles Sween = va expelled from
the nine and the league in the twelfth
week OF the season for conduct char.
acterized as disgraceful. After July
% the bulk Of the pitching fell on
Radburn, who before that time had
been at outs with the management.
But when he found that everything
depended on him, RadboUrn worked in
a manner that has never been equaled
and never will be in these days, when
pitcher feels overworked with more
than two days a week. He promised
Manager Bancroft he would face all
the opposing teams until the pennant
was won, and he carried out that
promise. winning twenty consecutive
games in August and September, and
twenty-nine games with but one break
in the run.

DESPERATE HEROISM.
An Incident of the Indian Fighting
Days In Illinois.

The desperate intrepidity and war
like heroism of the early settlers of II
linois are illustrated by an incident
narrated in Historic Illinois," The
early days were a time of hardship,
danger and death. Every forest covert,
every tuft of prairie grass, might hide
some skulking red enemy. Among the
early frontiersmen was a Captain
Whiteside, whose name became ter
ror among the Kickapoos.
A party of fourteen white men led by
Whiteside made an attack upon an en-
campment of Indians of greatly supe-
rior force. Only one Indian escaped.
During the heat of the skirmish Cap
tain Whiteside was severely wounded,

shot in the side.
As he fell he called to his sons to
keep on fighting and not to yield an
inch of ground or permit the savages
TO touch his body. Uel Whiteside, who
had also been shot in the arm, so that
he could no longer use his rife, hastily
examined bis fathers wound, discover
ing that the bullet had glanced along
the ribs and lodged against the spine.
With that daring and disregard for
pain so often characteristic of border
men he Immediately whipped out his
knife, gashed the skin, extracted the
ball and held it up. crying:
You're not dead yet, fatherr'
The old man leaped to his feet. re-
newed the fight and bore his full part
to the end. Many such instances of
heroism distinguished the men who in
those days of peril were called upon to
defend the frontiers of Illinois.
