HOW SHE ALWAYS KNEW.

All alone on the hilltop lived Hannah Jane sprlgglns, and a lonely life she led, this ancient maid. Much to the wonder of the good people of the vil- lage of Meddybemps, she was never at a loss for news, and when neigilbors called with stray bits of information, Hannah Jane always knew it long be- fore 1t had been spread broadcast through the town.
 Say, did ye know Sam Whitten's Anne had shock?" volunteered an excited female, dropping in on Hannah Jane early one evening, just as that peaceful soul was slipping her nightly brew of tea.

COOPER's INDIANS ARE REA
 INDIANS.

Cooper does not, to be sure, take quite the cowboy view of the Indian, and people with a smattering of pio- neering who regard the cowboy as an expert in Indians and echo his opinion that "the only good Indian is a dead one" may find him unduly discrimina- ting. still, the cowboys ethnological experience is, after all limited, and the frontiersman of recent years mas had to deal not with the Indian of the time of Cooper's tales, but with his descend ents demoralized by contact with his censors, to say nothing of the century of 1ishonor." Cooper's view is certain ly that the Indian is human. But the fact which is so generally lost sight of is that the noble red man"-the fic- titious character that he is charged with inventing- is not to be found in his pages. In general he endows the Indian with traits which would be ap- proved as alSthentic even by the ranch man, the rustler, or the army officer, His Indians are in the main epitomized in Magua And in the mass the race is depicted pretty much as Hawkeye con- ceived the Mingoes of the Mohawk Val ley and Leather Stocking the Sioux of

The late Senator Hoar, rather against his will, once found himself at a sort of literary reception. Members of read ing clubs, Browning societies and simi- lar earnest folk were thick about him.

During the first twelve centuries Of
the Christian era the sword varied
little in the essential features from
the lines of the broadsword. The
blade was heightened, 1t is true, and
less curved but the crosspieces of
the hllt were usually straight. and the
simple. workmanlike look was presery-
ed. The change to the elaborate hits
of several centuries later was made
gradually. There were slight changes
in the crosspieces from time to time
the stiff straight lines little by little
began to curve gently toward the
blade. The knob at the end Of the
handle usually II simple disk or ball
Of metal, was varied into n trefoil, u
fluting or II small Maltese cross. Blades
and scabbards were engraved with In
scriptlons, practice which had in
deed been found In Danish barrows
bearing unmlstakable Runic charac-
tiers cut IN The bronze blades. The
cross hilted sword the crusaders car
rled on their pious errand to the
Holy Land not infrequently displayed
