Haleb Bey's undeniable physical attractiveness

every favor from the Sultan, became more in

On his side Osman Pasha felt entire confidence

plan on which he might have expended his energies

Could he so have misunderstood her and her last

Turkey. and lived perilously the white light

Weir's troubles finally became than he
could bear alone, and he turned to his old school
mate, Mrs Blake, for sympathy, if not for aid.
She listened in plying silence until he had poured
out the whole story to her. "Oh, Steve l was
afraid there something like this going on, when
you didn't come near me for so long. You are just
the kind of man to fall in love like this, and keep

WITH somewhat embarrassed mien Osnan
w Pasha, father of Haeb Bey, entered the
large bare reception room of Takshan
Pashas selamlik. He had spent some hours think
ing this interview and arranging the words he
had to say, so that they would convey his meaning
and yet not offend Now expecting Takshan Pasha
every moment, his preparation seemed inadequate.
and his task very difficult He had come with the
intention of speaking to Takshan Pasha of his daugh-
terS conduct, rather of the about it, and
he wondered somewhat at his own audacity; for
Turk may not easily criticize the women of another
to his face.
"Os-gel-di os-gel-di!" TakshanPasha said genally,
coming in and greeting his uneasy guest Il am
indeed delighted to you here, and to have little
talk about Our children S future happiness"
The warm welcome of his host made what he
wished to say doubly difficult to the father of Haeb
Bey. 1t is truly for their happiness that here.
Your Greatness he answered caressing his beard in
embarrassed manner.
Takshan Pasha, one of the abest diplomats of the
Sultan, noticed the uneasy movements of his guest
and while not relinquishing the idea of learning the

to put Osman Pasha at ease. 1t is painful time

The Mystic Fluid Has Been Known to

A peculiar feature of lightning when

childhood was struck by a thunder
bolt, and after remaining insensible
for twenty minutes he recovered

THE STORMY PETREL.
A NaturaIist's Efforts to Discover the
Secret Of It's Flight.

A NaturaIist's Efforts to Discover the
Secret Of It's Flight.
"A naturalist visiting Algeria bought
from sailor four captive stormy pet
rels. They weighed about 165 pounds
apiece. Their wings were five inches
wide and had a spread of four feet The
ability Of the petrol to breast the most
furious storms has been universally adj
mired. Its name is derived from it's pow
er of walking on the waves. like the apos-
tie Peter, and its courage and strength
in planting its footsteps on the crests of
the most tempestuous sea have given a
text to many writer's. The naturalist,
wishing to release his captive petrels,
threw one of them into the air 1t
tried to fly, but fell headlong, went
crashing against stone wall and bat
tered out its brains. He took the Sec
ond petrol to an upper story and
launched it from a window: but, hav-
ing no initial velocity, it, too, fell like
a stone. The third bird he took to the
top of an observatory and pushed it
out into space 1t tapped it's wings
desperately, but nevertheless lunged
downward and broke it's wings against
post.
The naturalist was now convinced
that the stormy petrers feats at sea are
made possible because it first gets up
momentum by running along the top
of the water. Wishing to give the re-
naming bird a chance to demonstrate
his theory, he took it out into desert
like plain bare of grass, smooth as the
surface of a calm sea. Here" the nat
uralist reports, Il set my fourth petrol
down. 1t squatted at first and then
turned with its beak to the wind and
it's wings outstretched and started run
ing, beating it's wings, not hampered
by any heritage 1t ran hundred
yards, carrying it's weight less and less
on it's feet and finally all on it's wings,
but all the time skimming the ground.
At last with a single bound, catching
the wind, the petrol rose sixty feet, ca
reened around and flew past me over
head and glanced at me on its way,
as If to say, Success in flight is all
based upon momentum - Harold

were OF MOLner EarCn, were wet,
they would go out and pull grass
and sprinkle on it to absorb the
water. The squaws took great pride
| in ornamenting their heads and hair.
They usually parted the hair in the
middle of the forehead, plated it
into two braids. and tied the ends
firmly with buckskin strings on
which were strung three large glass
beads Then they would paint a
bright red streak on the forehead
where the hair was parted. Many
of them had four or five holes in the
rim of each ear from which hung
ornaments of all kinds. The Indians
also took great pride in decorating
themselves with feathers, ornaments,
etc. The dress of the men was
simply shirt, breech-clout, leg
gings and moccasins; also blanket.
Their living was simple and labor
saving. They mixed bread in pan
by stirring flour into warm water
with little tallow and saleratus.
They then took the dough out of the
pan, which they turned bottom side
up on the ground, placed the dough
on it, patted it fiat, cut it in small
pieces and fried it in tallow. Pota-
toes were usually roasted in the hot
embers of the camp fire. Beefsteak
was put across two sticks over the
blaze without sailing and in a few
minutes was done. Triple was
favorite dish and they were quick
in preparing it. The intestlnes were
removed. then drawn through be-
tween the thumb and finger, the
contents squeezed out, and, without
washing, the tripe was boiled and
prepared Indian style.
In disposing of their dead they
wrapped the body in blankets and
placed it on a scaffold made of poles
about five feet above the ground.
In a wooded country the scaffold
was placed on branches of low trees.
In caring for the papooses, they
were fastened on a piece of board
about eight inches wide, with foot
rest, ornamented with net work at
the head made of willow twigs.
They were wrapped to the board
with their arms straight down by
their Sues. When they went to
sleep in warm weather, they were

A BEAVER FALLS PIONEER.
fIardships and Experiences Of the first
White Settlers.

] Mrs. Helen Tarb'e Of Dodge Cen
! ter, whose visit to Redwood Falls
was itemized in this paper few
weeks ago, has given US permission
to publish extracts from printed
account of her experiences before
and in connection with the Indian
massacres Of 1862. The account is
published in booklet form and is full
of interest. Further instalments of
this early history will appear in the
future issues of this paper
My husband decided on a location
of our home on Beaver Creek, in
Renville county, one-half mile south
Of the present site Of Beaver Falls.
We were the first white family that
took up a homestead in that dis
trict, and the following fall and
winter | spent many days and nights
alone. We lived on wild meat that
is, when we could get it-but for
weeks and months | ate little else
but potatoes and salt, while work
ing every day from earliest dawn
until dusk, opening up our farm.
NY husband and Mr.. Postere went
to chopping logs for our house, and
took the OK team, which belonged
to Mr.. Postere, and hauled the logs
to the building place. We lived out

til my husband built our house.

share in building it, and then it was

My husband succeeded in OBJ
tanning employment at the Indian
Agency, doing carpenter work, in
building houses for the Indians who
consented to become farmers. At
first he would be away a few days,
then a week and after awhile he
would be away a month or more at
a time. During these long absences

in the wilderness with no human
beings near save the Indians. They
were around my house at all times
day or night.
The Indians had a queer way of
living. They lived in "tepees," or
wigwams, which were of uniform
size, about IL feet in diameter on
the ground, with door about three
feet high; that is, merely parting
of the cloth or hides, of which the
tepee was composed. Some were
made of canvass, but most of them
were of tanned buffalo hides. After
