Travellers Tree Myth.

Among the romantic stories of
far-off lands that have long main
tanned their circulation and COM
mand more or less belief, says the
Youths Companion, is that of the
travellers tree" credited with pos
sessing reservoir of pure water
fitted to save the lives of wanderers
in the desert. G. F. Scott Elliott de-
clares from his own experience that
the tree grows only in the neighbor-
hood of swamps or springs, and that,
although it has a considerable
amount of water in hollow at the
base of its leaf, the water possesses
a disagreeable vegetable taste, and,
of course, is inferior to other water
to be found in the vicinity.

Planning Out Gold In City Street.

In a vivid manner in the heart OF

from the hill above, and some think
Ing mortal tried shovelful in a
miners pan. He quickly found col
DTS, and in a short time any number
of business men and others were
hard at work with all kinds of pans
and utensils, washing the dirt in a
tiny stream in the gutter near by.
Some made as much as 50 in short
time, while even the veriest novice
found colors. 1t is argued that a
rich ledge lies in the hills at the
end of the street and prospecting
may be started in an endeavor to To-

Why He Sought The Mourners'
Bench.

"Once we had revival. and I at
tended it with my girl. She got
quite excited, and before knew
what was happening, she started for
the mourners' bench. She didn't
ask me if I'd go. She just got up
and went all by herself.
well, she kneeled down there,
and / see that right next to her was
kneelin' Teller she'd been goin'
with some and who was a rival O
mine. / said, by gosh! / can't
stand that! Maybe he'll be ketchin'
her. There was just little room
between her and him, and 1 stepped
up and kneeled so as to separate
'em.
At cut him out that time, and he
didn't marry that girl. AS far as
that goes, neither did I. Oh, we'll

Good Looking Young oherokees.

IF you go down into the Chero-
kee Nation you will see thousands
of handsome young men and beauti-
full young women who are the Off
spring of white fathers with the
Cherokee women" said w. P. Nc
Clellan, of the Cherokee Nation. In
most cases no one would think of
this second generation as being 9TH
er than of the ,Anglo-Saxon race.
The girls are as fair, as comely, as
refined as their sisters of unmixed
blood and just as stylish in their
dress. The boys are as bright and
manly a set of young fellows as can
be found. There is nothing about
them I. to differentiate them from
young white men.
Another thing is that these mix
ed bloods are stronger, physically,
than the pure Indian stock, harder
and less likely to fall prey to that
disease which carries off so many of
the fullbloods, consumption. -
