Surely nothing can move over the

keep my eyes passing along the fringe

I resist the temptation more easily
as he Is moving straight toward my
husband. However, as a matter of
fact, he turns little and crosses the
line about forty yards from his tree.
He stops, and leisurely turns to listen
to the beaters, his tail waving angrily
from side to side. Bang! My hus-

His First Obituary Notice Called For
Help For His Family.

His FIRST Obituary Notlce Saheo TUT
Help For His Family.
When Robert Burns died the follow
ing obituary appeared In the Edin-
burgh Advertiser of July 26. 1896: ION
the 21st instant died at Dumfries. after
lingering Illness. the celebrated Rob-
ert Burns. His poetical compositions,
distinguished equally by the forces or
native humor by the warmth and the
tenderness of passion and by the glow
ing touches of a descriptive pencil, Will
remain lasting monument OF the Wig
or and versatility Of a mind guided
only by the lights of nature and by the
inspiration Of genius.
THE public. to whose amusement he
has so largely contributed, Will learn
with regret that his extraordinary en-
dowments were accompanied with
frailties which rendered them useless
to himself and his family. The last
months of his short life were spent In
sickness and Indulgence, and his widow,
with five infant children and In the
hourly expectation of sixth, Is now
left without any resource but what she
may hope from the regard due to the
memory of her husband.
The public are respectfully inform
ed that contributions for the wife and
family of the late Robert Burns, who
are left in circumstances Of extreme
distress, will be received at the houses
of Sir William Forbes & Co.. Of Messrs.
Mansfield, Ramsay & Co., and at the
shops of the Edinburgh booksellers. 1t
1t proposed to publish some time hence
posthumous volume Of the poetical
| remains of Robert Burns for the bene-
fit of the authors family. His friends
and acquaintances are requested to
transmit such poems and letters as
may happen to be in their possession
to Alexander Cunningham, writer
George street, Edinburgh or to John
| Syme, Esq, Ryedale, Dumfries. 1t Is
hoped that in the meantime none or his
original productions will be communi-
Gated to the public through the chan-
mel Of newspapers or magazines so as
to injure the sale Of the intended pub
| lication."

We return for a moment to look af-
ter Butler AS near as my information
enables me to speak-for l wish to be
accurate in dates-it was about the
twenty third of September when our
hero arrived at Gilbert-town, and found
himself committed to the custody Of
Ferguson. His situation, in many res
pe cts uncomfortable, was not altogeth-
er without circumstances to alleviate
the rigor of captivity. Ferguson,
though a rough soldier. and animated
by a Jealous partisanship in the royal
cause which imbued his feelings with
a deep hatred of the Wings, was also a
man of education, and of disposition
to respect the claims Of a gentleman
fully equal to himself in rank and con-
sideration-even when these qualities
were found in an enemy. His inter-
course, of late, had been almost en-
tirely confined to the wild spirits who
inhabited the frontier, and who impell-
ed by untamed passions, were accus-
toned to plunge into every excess

FEATs OF INDIAN MAGIC.
An Entertainment by Pawnees on an
Open Prairie.


T. H. Tibbles, presidential can
didate on the Populist ticket in 1904,
has spent years and years on the from
tier and among the Indians, and he
can tell some good stories. about In
dian magic. Here Is one of them.
"Once during the border days
found myelf camped near village of
Pawnees. The Pawnees paid our
camp a formal visit, and to amuse
them one of our party, who was quite
prestidigitator, did some simple
tricks with cards, etc. The Indians
smiled and invited US over to their
village the next day, where they said
they would show us some Indian
tricks.
1--WE went The day was fine and
sunny and about noon we were invit-
ed out on the open prairie to see the
tricks. AS far as we could see there
were no preparations whatever. We
stood around in a big circle outlined
by the chief.
FINALLY a tall Indian walked out
into the centre Of the ring and ha-
rangued the crowd for few minutes.
Then another Indian came over to me
and asked II I wanted to examine a
deer's head, freshly killed. which he
had brought. I looked 1t over care
fully. It was all right. I was then
told to take the head into the ring to
the magician.
THAT Indian didn't have a stitch
Of clothing on. but on the ground ly-
ing near was a red blanket. I picked
up the blanket and examined 1t. 1t,
like the deer head. was all right.
took a good look at the Indian, too.
"T then paced out to the edge of the
circle, keeping my eye on the In
dian and the deer head.
This head was an ordinary sized
one, and had two big antlers on 1t.
And that Indian picked up that head,
stuck one end Of an antler in his
mouth, and right before US all gradu-
ally swallowed It, II took him five
minutes to get 1t down, but 1t gradu-
ally went down his throat, or some
where else. But, remember, he was
entirely naked, and there was no place
to hide It,
After finishing the head the In
dian turned around and bowed to the
four points Of the compass. And then,
suddenly, there stood another Indian
beside him. Where that second In
Lian came from none of us could tell.
He certainly did not walk across the
open circle.
1.-The second Indian reached down.
took up the blanket from the ground
and cast It over the first Indian. The
blanket gradually sank to the ground
and lay fiat.
I'VE white people were beckoned
to come forward. I picked up the
blanket. There was nothing under IT.
The first Indian had disappeared, and
In his place stood the second Indian,
who was not at all like the first.
Now. all that took place right out
on the open prairie. and in the centre
of a ring of whites and Indians. had
myself examined the deer's head, had
shaken hands with the Indians, had
lifted that blanket from the ground.
II was the greatest piece Of magic ]
ever saw"
The modern Indian has. to a great
degree, lost the power to do these
feats of magic, which the old-tlme In
dian was versed in, and the best he
can do Is a few sleight Of hand tricks
which can be done by almost any
person.-Omaha World Herald.

How u Horse Sleeps.

Horses always point one ear forward
when they sleep. Exactly why it is
Gone no human being can tell. but the
probability is that the practice is
relic of the time when they We're wild
and obliged to be on their guard even
when asleep. Cattle, on the other
hand, are apparently Indifferent as to
the position of their ears while sleep
ing, but no odds what position they
are in both are always pointed alike.
Ask some observing horseman if it is
not Il fact that horse always throws
one ear forward when he sleeps.

WORTHY OF A TRIAL.

The following from an exchange is
pointer on another means of drawing
trade.
1t has been matter of surprise to
the Clipper that ColfaN merchants
have never yet tried the monthly sale
day enterprise so much in vogue in other
towns of our size and smaller. 1t is
a day set apart once each month dur
ing which the merchants combine in
giving special bargains in goods of
their special lines, advertise the facts
widely in the local papers and by
means of handbills, and make the day
one of pleasure and profit to their Gust
omers as we'll as themselves. 1t has
proven the means of bringing trade
from many sections that never patron
lied experimenting towns before, and
been so satisfactory wherever tried that
it is now an established custom. Let
our business men get together and talk
it over. Ogden Reporter.

StRr Rays.

What causes the rays or pencils Of
light that seem to be thrown out by
every star when seen by the naked
eye? A German scientist finds that all
stars show precisely the same rays,
but that in the case of the brighter
stars the rays are palmer and some
what longer. 1t is further remarked
that the rays seen by the left and right
eyes differ, and that if the head be
turned the rays are rotated in CORE
spending manner. 1t is thus concluded
that the source of the rays is not in the
stars. but in the eye itself, the middle
OF the retina being not perfectly homo
geneous in its sensitiveness.
