A farm servant declared that in the

still unburied. The highlander must
see to their decent interment and
have the murderers, two men named,
brought to justice. The highlander
promised. but did not keep his word,
and a second and third time the spirit

NAMING A TOWN.
How Abilene Came to BE Selected BY
Mrs. Jersey.

How Abilene Came to BE Selected by
Mrs. Jersey.
*. Abilene was named by the wife of
the founder Of the town, T. f. Hersey.
With her husband she had come to
central Kansas in the spring Of 1857.
They lived in log house on the west
si,le Of Mud creek and were the first
settlers on the town site. although no
town then existed nor was there one
until 1860. Then c. 81. Thompson, wis
had moved to the county from Leayen-
worth, bought from the Kansas Pa
cif1c Railway company a tract east Of
Hersey's and laid out a town.
Nh When 1t came to the naming Of the
future city Mr.. Thompson went to
Hersey and asked him to suggest a
name. 3s MI!
NO. was the reply, let my wife
do It, She is o great reader"
Mrs. Hersey was a graduate OF 3
seminary in the east, and her little
library, which she carried with her In
her wanderings. was one Of the ties
that bound her to the girlhood life. She
was devout Methodist and knew her
Bible from "cover to cover. When
she was asked to name the town she
turned to the New Testament for sug-
geston. There, In the third chapter Of
Luke, first verse, she found this: Now
In the fifteenth year Of the reign OF
Ifberius Caesar, Pontius PLATE being
governor Of Jndaea Z and Lysanias
the tetrarch Of Abilene
"Call the town Abilene" said she
s'It means City Of the Plains, and thai
exactly describes the location. /"
So Abilene it was, and In the fight
for the county seat, wherein it contest
ed with Newport, Smoky Hill and On
ion City, all long since passed away
/ good fortune attended It, and the new
| town became the county capital FOL

An Ingenious Ruse.

Herodotus tells Of an ingenious ruse
employed to carry an important mes
sage through the lines Of the enemy.
Histiaeus, being anxious to give Aris-
tagoras orders to revolt, could think OF
no means to send the message to his
ally, as all the roads were carefully
guarded. Finally he hit upon a scheme.
Calling his trustiest servant to him, he
ordered that the mans hair be shaven
of. He then pricked the desired mes
sage on the scalp Of the slave and,
waiting until his hair had grown out,
dispatched him upon the errand. The
messenger passed safely through the
lines, and when he reached Aristagoras
his head was again shaved and the
message read.

moisture and abundant foliage to pro-

given rude sort Of cultivation. The
growers plant It, keeping the grass

climb the tree. It needs no further at

Each blade is composed of two sheets

LARGEST CAVE IN WEST,
Most Remarkable Cavern Discovered
in California Mountains.

Two gold-prospectors recently dis
covered in the Santa Susanna noun
tains, about so miles from Los An
geles, CAL, the largest and most re-
markable cave in western America.
While looking for indications of gold
they found an opening which they
entered. The opening led to great
cavern, consisting of many passages,
some of them wide, but most of them
narrow and lofty. The passages lead
into great halls, some containing
an acre, studded with stalagmites and
stalactites, in some cases so thickly
that it is difficult to get through. The
walls of one of these halls are covered
with rude drawings, some almost OBJ
liberated, but others still clear. The
drawings represent incidents of the
chase, showing Indians on foot pur-
suing bear, deer and other animals.
One wall-painting shows the bear pur-
suing the hunter. The work is done
with soft, red stone much used by
the Indians for that purpose.

Bernhardt's Famous Tonic.

Sarah Bernhardt's famous skin ton
ic to use after the bath to make the
flesh firm and elastic is famous the
world over. You can prepare it your
self after the following formula: One
half pint of alcohol, two ounces Of
spirits of camphor, two ounces Of
spirits of ammonia, five ounces of sea
salt and boiling water sufficient to
make one quart. Put all in bottle
and agitate thoroughly. Rub into the
skin with the hands. Shake always
before using. It is an excellent plan
when barring the arms and neck for
an evening dress to bathe them in this
lotion. 1t also takes the fatigue from
ones muscles after a long walk or
much exercise,
