look ashamed that 1t had no hair to
stand on end, there came a war
whoop from the camp, Indians, squaws,
dogs, and everything that con-
tained a noise letting out yells that
made me sick. The Carlisle Indian
began to pull of his citizen clothes Of
civilization, and when the horses ran
down to the camp N front OF the
chiefs tent the tribes welcomed the
Carlisle prodigal son, who had re-
moved every evidence of civilization,
except a pair of football pants, and
thus he reinstated himself with the at
fections of his race, who Rugged him
for Joy.
Pa and the rest Of US sat In the buck
board while the Indians began to feast
on something cooking in a shack. We
looked at each other for awhile, not
daring to make noise for fear 1t
would offend the Indians. Pretty soon
an old chief came and called pa the
Great Father, and called me a pup,
and he invited US to come into camp
and partake of the feast.
Well, we were hungry. and the meat
certainly tasted good. and the Car

DR.. Fell relates an interesting story
of how he went out with horse and
wagon to round up subscribers for his
newspaper Near Fort Smelling he
was met by the commanding officer Of
the fort, who told him that a party
Of Sioux and Objiways had by some
means secured several kegs OF whisky.
The officer jumped into DR.. Felrs
wagon. and they finally came up with
the Indians and destroyed the liquor
but 1t was a race between them and
the half-drunken red devils for the
fort. There was a heavy snow on the
ground. so that the Indians were
handicapped and they lost their race
with the horse and wagon.

Gen. Funston is right well known
In Washington, where he has many
friends who we're intimate with him
long before he ever dreamed that he
would wear the stars of brigadier
general in tn, regular army. Less
than a dozen years ago he was an in
conspicuous clerk In the department Of
agriculture, a place he secured through
the influence of his father. who was
for many years Republican congress
man from the state of Kansas. Fun
ston was always an ambitious little fell
low, but his friends here do not re-
call that a military career especially
appealed to him until conditions grew
so bad in Cuba under Spanish misrule.
He used to talk with his associates
about the oppression Of the Cubans
and wish that he could do something
to help them win liberty. He went to
Cuba finally and fought with the pa
triots against the Spanish and had a
pretty Avely time.
1t was when the Spanish war broke
out and he was largely instrumental
in raising a Kansas regiment. Of which
he was made colonel. that his active
military career began and he soon
demonstrated that while he was an en-
thusiast, he was a practical one and
not visionary one.

the band, the surging crowds around
the ticket wagon, and the cheers from
the seats. 1t almost seemed as though
there had been funeral In the family,
and we were sitting around in the
cold parlor waiting for the lawyers to
read the will. But in couple of
days pa got busy, and he hired young
Indian who was a graduate Of Car

cowboy, to go with US to the cattle
ranges, and an old big game hunter
who was to accompany us to the places
where we could find buffalo and griz-

US west, and after the Indian and the
cowboy and tho hunter got sobered up,
on the train and got the st. Louis

to Gen. Robert Gibson Smith, OF New
Jersey, for $4,000. This is one of the
best-known estates in Virginia, and Is
situated in Fairfax county, on the Po-
tomac river, 22 miles from Washing
ton. The estate almost touched the old
Mount Vernon estate, and the own
err of Gunston hall, Mr.. George Mason,
was one of the most intimate friends
and neighbors that George Washing
ton had.
The old mansion Is standing virtu.
ally as it was built by Mr.. Mason, In
1855. 1t is an imposing and delightful
old building, and is Of the old colonial
type of architecture. The bricks OF
which 1t is built were brought by ship
all the way from Scotland. They are
twice the size of modern bricks. but
are exceedingly durable as the walls OF
Gunston hall will compare more than
present day. The house Is 80 feet
long by 40 feet wide. The principal
entrance is on the north side Of the
building and Is marked by large
square porch of brick and stone and
having four heavy doric pillars. On
the south side there Is a smaller porch
overlooking the wide Potomac.
This estate now consists Of 615 acres
and affords fine pasture and farming
lands, besides having large orchards
containing about 10000 fruit trees
Former Representative Thomas E..
Watson, of Georgia, populist and
Farmers Alliance advocate, tried to
buy this place about year ago. Mr..
Watson, despite his preaching the
simple life and antagonizing riches, is
a man well to do In this worlds goods,
and amply able to pay the $4,000
asked for this old estate, but some
hitch occurred in his negotiation He
was anxious to get up into the old
colonial atmosphere and settle down
on an estate with which George Wash
ington was so familiar.

all his tales are to be believed, and is
now having the time of his life re-
ceiving responses to his suggestion
that he would like to have nice lady
for his wife. and when the right one
comes along he will settle upon her
the tidy sum of 100000. 1t may be
mentioned that the lady has not yet
appeared, and Mr.. Stark's 100000 are
yet intact. He came here few weeks
ago and put up at the best hotel in the
city. and to an enterprising reporter
on daily paper told an enchanting
story in his great luck In searching
for wealth.
According to his tale, he struck 1t
rich wherever he went IN gold and sill
yer mining and in search for diamonds
in the diamond fields of Brazil. He
said that he was worth 100000 In
cash, besides retaining an interest In
some valuable mines. He was tired,
he declared, of his hard life as a pros
pector and gold hunter. and wanted to
settle down In peace, comfort and do
nestle bliss In order to attain his
ideal he intimated that he would set
tie 100000 on the lady who met his
ideal of wife. His story got wide
circulation, and the mails have been
filled with letters from all over the
country.
They come from women in almost
every station of life. but the majority
Of them have been written by working
girls and servants. who thought they
saw an opportunity to secure wealth
