Natural Wells In Yucatan.

Since Yucatan, where the Mayas
built their strange cities, Is q coral
limestone formation, 1t would, says a
writer in Records Of the Past, have
been q barren desert but for its sub
terranean rivers and the cenotes, or
water caverns, which give access to
them. The Mayas noted the courses
of the underground streams and built
their towns round the cenotes. Many
cenotes are now found surrounded by
ruins and give indications Of the meth
DDS employed by the Mayas to reach
their cool waters. In Uxmai a cenote
about forty feet deep Is Inhabited by
a peculiar species of fish. At Bolan-
chen there is cenote having ave open
ings In the rocks at the bottom Of the
cavern. Ladders made by tying tree

ular depth from the surface to the wa

The Mixture In Roumanis.

Roumania is inhabited by bewilder-
ing variety of races. but whether Of
Greek, Slav or Teutonic lineage, the
modern Roumanian makes 1t a point Of
honor to claim descent from the colo
nists whom Trajan planted In the con-
quered province Of Dacla A. d. LOT.
Calling themselves Romuni and their
language Romunie, the proud citizens
seldom draw out legal document
without some alluslon to their founder,
whom they style "the divine Trajan."
The Roumanian language reflects the
composition Of the race and now but
family suggests the language which
Trajan spoke.

STABBING AFFAIR
George Rera5ton Seriously Stabbed
by Jack Arthur eft an Early
flour this Morning

George kenaston, who has been
tending bar at the Temple Club sd
loon for several weeks past was Sc
riously stabbed by Jack Arthur in
the Mint saloon about two o'clock
this morning The men had been
quarreling for some time previous
and the stabbing was the resuls.
Jack arthur want into the Tenn
pie Club saloon late yesterday ev-
ening and played several games of
solo. After the game broke up it
was learned by Kenaston that he
was unable to pay for the games
that he lost. Arthur told Kenas-
ton that he had money at the
Mint saloon and that he would 60
over there and get some and come
back and pay him. Kenaston
said that such an arrangement
would be satisfactory.
After waiting some time for Ar
thur to return Kenaston went over
to the Mint saloon to see him and
get money. When he arraived Ar
thur was there and when Kenas-
ton asked him to pay the bill Ar
thur told him that he didn't have
the money then but that he would
pay>him. This apparently was
not satisfactory and the men fell
TO quarreing. Arthur said that
he did not care to and would not
fight. He went into one of the
club rooms adjoining the saloon
and was followed there by Kenas-
ton, where fight ensued shortly
after. AS far as we can learn we
ire told that Kenaston attempted
20 strike Arthur while he was sFt-
ting in chair and that the latter
han stabbed him in the abdomen
With a pocket knife. DR.. Dill was
immediately called to dress the
INJURED mans wounds and he said
his evening that while at first it
ooked sas though the wounds

ntirely well in short time.

of the time pulling him until his
tongue run out and his face turned
blue But dad was game, and don't
you forget it.
Before noon we got on top Of a
glaZier, which is the ice of a frozen
river, that moves all the time, sliding
towards the sea. There was nothing
but hard winter, in summer to the
experience, and we would have gone
back the same night only dad slipped
down a crevice about 100 feet with the
rope on him, and the two guides
couldn't pull him up, and we had to
send a lunch down to him on the rope
and one of the guides had to 60 back
to the village for help to get dad up.
Well, sir, think dad was nearer dead
than he ever was before, but they sent
down a bottle of brandy, and when he
drank some OF 1t the snow began to
melt and he was warm enough to use
bad language.
He yelled to me that this was the
limit and wanted to know. how long
they were going to keep him there. |
yelled to him that one Of the guides
had gone for help to pull him out, and
he said for them to order yoke of
oxen I told him that probably he
would have to remain there until
spring opened and that I was going
back to America and leave him there,
and he better pray. | don't know
whether dad prayed. down there In the
bowels of the mountains, but he didn't
pray when help came. and they finally
hauled him up His breath was gone.
but he gave those guides some Ian
guage that would set them to think
ing II they could have understood
him, and finally we started down the
mountain. They kept the rope on dad
and every little while he would slip
and slide 100 feet or so down the
mountain on his pants, and the snow
would go up his trousers legs clear to
his collar, and the exercise made him
so hot that the steam came out Of his
clothes, and he looked like locomo-
tive wrecked in snow bank blowing
off steam.
It became dark and 7 expected we
would be killed, but before midnight
we got to the station and changed our
clothes and paid off the guides and
took a train back. Dad said to me, as
we got on the cars: "Now, Hennery, I
have done this alszier stunt, just to
show you that brave man, whatever
his age. is equal to anything they can
propose in Europe, but by ginger, this
settles It, and now want to 60 where
