Ancient Indian Writings.

local newspaper man at Otanga, O. T., made very lucky find the other day by accidentally learning about an old Indian history. says the Kansas City Journal The details are written out on old parchment paper and proved to be an accurate history of the Chey enne and Arapahoe Indians. It gave an account of their religious rites and beliefs along with the traditions of the tribes. It deals freely with the tribal government for over 100 years and Is very extensive in covering the relation with the United States govern ment.
 Many important fights with troops and a description of the burying ground where some officers were inferred are among the things. It was originally written In Indian language and was translated by George Bent an old-time Indian scout and plainsman.
 The affairs of several other Indian tribes who have been affiliated with the Cheyennes and Arapahoes are dealt with in the history.
 Among other things dealt with Is the history of the sacred arrows that were stolen by the Pawnee Indians and secured only recently by the Cheyennes by exchanging several hundred ponies Emerald Dating Back to Solomon.

4 Bark For Barker.

The editor sat in his easy chair. Edi- tors always have easy chairs-in ic- ton. He thought he recognized the handwriting on one of tho envelopes. He sighed.
 Another poem,' said he, reaching for the waste paper basket He open ed the letter He was agreeab!y dis" appointed. It was prose. It ran as follows:
 "A man named Barker had a dog that parked, so he called it Barker be- cause it parked and because his own name was Barker. So the man was Barker, and the dog that parked was Barker. The man didn't bark, al though his name was Barker. Barker and Barker went for a walk, and Barker barked-that is. dog Barker not man Barker In fact, dog Barker parked so much that man Barker said: Barker, don't bark so often. You nev CT hear me bark. Just then man Barker parked his shin on the bark of a tree and parked like anything"
 The editor paused, There was note inclosed, which ran, Please send check for inclosed to me at 1001 Barker ave nue. city" Then did the deus eX machina write, with a smile, T have received your joke and will send check when my bark comes in."-Judge.

Leqend of St. Winifred Well.

\ romantic legend hangs around St Winifred well. Cradocus. a neighbor- ing prince, smitten with the beauty of a Holywell damsel and reused to anger by her coyness, struck off her head as she fled from his unwelcome attentions. The head, rolling down the hill, rested near the church, and from the spot the present copious spring gushed forth as the earth opened to swallow up the assassin. St. Beuno, who was passing picked up the head and, with skill which is now lost to the medical pro fession, restored the maiden. with only a slender white line on her neck as evi- dence of the miracle. But not only did the well spring from the spot where the head rested, but the moss on its brink was supposed to he possessed of a particularly fragrant smell, while the blood marks on the stones assumed many beautiful tints on June 22, the anniversary of the event. Today the well is contained in a rectangular building, and the water flows into q large basin in the shape of an eight pointed star.-London Chronicle.
