Most Of us might and ought TO find

those who would live happily together
that they should try to show their

They should try to show the best OF

whether It be Of books or of life, ought

Existence is maintained at a much

AN INDIAN MYSTERY.
The White Woman Who Fought With
the Tonic Apaches.

The White Woman Who Fought With
the Tonic Apaches.
The following story was told by one
of Arizona's early pioneers:
In 1864 DR.. Alsap and Lord Duppa,
we'll known pioneers, were prospecting
with a party in the Bradshaw noun
tains on the Hassayampa creek. One
morning the party separated for the
purpose of hunting. In going up a
canyon, in which they were separated
from their companions by high noun
tains, Duppa's detachment was attack
ed by a large band Of Tonic Apaches.
The whites gradually fought their way
across the ridge with the hope Of re-
joining their companions. During the
advance Duppa, who was stationed be-
hind a rock, noticed that he was the
particular mark of an Indian with q
bow. Several arrows had fallen at his
feet, and one struck him in the arm.
Raising his rifle, he took aim, and just
as he was touching the trigger the sup
posed Indian cried, Don't shoot" in
good English, but it was too late, and
the body fell over with life extinct.
Soon after the two parties succeeded in
forming a junction, and the Indians re-
treated, leaving their dead.
Out of curiosity the party returned to
the place where Duppa killed the sup
posed Indian and found that it was a
white woman, evidently about thirty
years Of age and dressed in all the
paraphernalia of the Apaches. Investi-
cation was made, but no trace Of her
former whereabouts could ever be OBJ
tanned

STAMPING ENVELOPES.
Queer Ways Some Folks Have Of Do
ino This SinnIe Act

Queer Ways Some Folks Have of Do
ing This Simple Act.
1.-THE only way to stop people from
plastering stamp at any old place
upon the envelope except the right one
is to do as is done in England. There
letter which does not have the stamp
in the right position is cast aside and
handled only when all other mail is
sorted and exchanged" This idea was
advanced by postal clerk quoted by
the Philadelphia Record. I'VE often
lose considerable time because of these
letters" continued the clerk, "for often
we have to stop and turn over an en-
velope to find the stamp. We do not
mind SO much the love sick youth or
maiden who places the stamp on the
center of the envelope, because stamp
so placed can be seen at a glance, but
1t is chiefly with the foreigners that we
have the trouble These people in
variably put on a stamp at any but
the right place, and you would be sur
prised to know how they do it. Why,
1 have seen letters upon which the
stamps have been placed on the back
Of the envelope at the point where the
society girl will put her monogram in
sealing wax. Others when they have
to pay, say, cents postage will buy
five one-cent stamps and put one on
each corner of the envelope, with the
remaining one acting as a seal upon

QUAINT QUEBEC.
The Old World Charm That Crowns

The Old World Charm That Crowns
This Picturesque City.
Dear, delightful old Quebec, with her
gray walls and shining tin roofs; her
precipitous, headlong streets and sleepy
squares and esplanades; her narrow
alleys and peaceful converts; her
harmless antique cannon on the para
pets and her sweet toned bells in the
spires; her towering chateau on the
heights and her long, low, queer smell
ing warehouses in the lower town; her
spick and span caleches and her dingy
trolley cars; her sprinkling of soldiers
and sailors with Scotch accent and
Irish brogue and cockney twang on
background of petite bourgeoise speak
ing the. quaintest of French dialects;
her memories Of an adventurous gilt
tering past and her placid content
ment with the tranquil grayness of the
present; her glorious daylight outlook
over the vale of the st. Charles, the
level shore of Montmorenci, the green
lie d'Orleans dividing the shining
reaches of the broad ST. Lawrence,
and the blue Laurentian mountains
rolling far to the eastward, and at
night the dark bulk Of the citadel out
lined against the starry blue, and far
below the huddled housetops, the ST.
lent wharfs, the lights of the great
warships swinging with the tide, the
intermittent ferryboats plying to and
fro, the twinkling lamps Of Lewis ris-
ing along the dim southern shore and
reflected on the lapsing, curling sea-
ward sliding waves of the great river!

much Of the charm of the old?-Henry

Fish stories.

1t is constantly said that fishermen
greatly exaggerate the size Of the fish
that are lost This accusation, though
most frequently and hippantly made.
is in point of fact based upon the most
absurd arrogance and love Of SIAN
derous assertion that passes under
standing. These are harsh words, but
they are abundantly justified.
In the first place. all the presump-
tons are with the fisherman's conten-
ton. 1t is perfectly plain that large
fish are more apt to escape than small
ones OF course their weight and ac-
tivity, combined with the increased
thickness and resourcefulness Of age
and experience, greatly increase their
ability to tear out the hook and en-
nance the danger that their antics will
expose a fatal weakness in hook,
leather, line or rod. Another presump-
ton which must be regretfully men
toned arises from the fact that in
many cases the encounter with large
fish causes such excitement and such
distraction or perversion of judgment
on the part Of the fisherman as leads
him to do the wrong thing or fail to
do the right thing. - Fishing and
Shooting Sketches" by Grover Cleve-

A Monument to Her Oath.

In the market place Of Devices, a
town in Wiltshire, England, there
stands a monument erected by public
subscription as a warning to falsif1ers
and irreverent persons, to commemo-
rate the tragic death of a woman who,
according to the inscription on the
stone, was stricken dead as punish
ment for her blasphemy. The story, as
told among the country folk, is that
one Of the village women, becoming In
volved in a dispute over money with a
merchant in the Corn Exchange, called
on the Almighty, with fearful oath,
to strike her dead If her statement was
false AS she left the market place on
her way home she fell dead upon the
spot where the monument now stands,
her perjured gains being afterward
found in her tightly clinched hand.
