Waiting For Him.

The traveller was we'll schooled in
the current literature concerning the
natives of the Southern mountains in
which he was travelling. Consequent
sly when, about noon, he rode out of
a lonely woods into sight of a small
cabin, he approached it with n GER
tain air of jaunty confidence. The
owner of the cabin was sitting on a
bench by the door, summing himself,
with legs outstretched and hands
clasped behind his head. He was the
picture Of ease.
The traveller refined in his horse
and cleared his throat. Then he
said, loosely:
waiting for the potatoes to dig
themselves by outgrowing their
land?"
The mountaineer smiled a bland,
mild smile. The Joker went on, en-
~couraged.
Perhaps you're expecting the sun
to get hot enough to fry your bacon
right on the hogs.
Not just that" grinned the ma
tive.
Or maybe you're looking for some
traveller to come along and stub
his toes on those stumps and grub
'em out for you. Or even to talk fast
enough to keep your windmill go
ing?"
The mountaineer rose. He tow
! cred almost above the mounted tour
list.
Fact is" he said, st been waiting
for you while ] digested my dinner.
After getting out at four, milking
a cow an a goat, feeding ten pigs an
killing two, chopping a heap O. wood,
riding five miles an back, an plow-
ing that field there, I felt right hun
CRY. / ate a big dinner, so I reck-
oned I'd sit here a few minutes till
somebody like you come along an
asked me them questions. I digest
my dinner on 'em every day. Glad
you didn't-Oh, so long. stranger, SO
long!"

Intelligence Of the Bee.
Br MAURICE MATERLINCK.

1t would be easy without appeal
ing to any prehistoric event to bring
together a large number. of facts
that would show that the faculty OF
adaptation and intelligent progress Is
not reserved exclusively for the
human race.
Transported to Australia or Cali
fornia our black bee completely al
tiers her habits. After one or two
years, finding that summer is per-
petual, and flowers forever abundant,
she will live from day to day, content
to gather the honey and pollen in
dispensable for the y'sfconsump-
ton, and her recent and thoughtful
observation triumphing over heredi-
tary experience, She will cease to
make provision. for her winter. Buch-
ner mentions an analogous fact,
which also proves the bees adapta-
ton to circumstances, not slow sec
ular, unconscious and fatal, but Inn
mediate and intelligent. In BaFha-
dos the bees, whose hives are I'm the
midst of the reAnerles, where they
find sugar in plenty during the whole
year, will entirely abandon their
visit to the flowers.
Let US lastly recall the amusing
contradiction which the bees gave to
two learned entomologists, Kirby and
Spence:
"Show u.s." said these. ga single
case in which under stress of cir
cumstances the bees have had the
idea of substituting clay or mortar
for wax and propolis and we will
admit their reasoning faculties"
Hardly had they expressed this
somewhat arbitrary wish when an
other naturalist, Andrew Knight,
having coated the bark Of certain
trees with a sort of cement made of
wax and turpentine, observed that
his bees entirely ~ceased@to gather
propolis. and used only This new and
unknown substance, which they
found prepared for them in abund-
nee in the neighborhood Of their
home. Moreover, in the practice OF
agriculture, when pollen is scarce,
the b~eekeeper has but to place at this
disposal a few pinches Of -four for
them to understand at once that this
can serve the same purpose and be
turned to the same use as the dust
of the anthers, although its taste,
smell and color are absolutely diff.
ferent.-Harper's Magazine.

Results.-Roadways cared for In
the manner suggested have remained
solid enough to bear up heavy trafhc
for the past five years every day Of
every year, the mud being only one
to. two inches on the surface, and that
quickly hardened after the rains, and
was promptly smoothed, thus restor-
ing the fine condition of the road.
All sorts of clays, and even sticky
gumbo of the Missouri River bottoms,
have been successfully treated in this
way so as to remain good throughout
even a wet season.

To Remove Paint From Muslin.

Soak the spots in a strong solution
of soda and water for t~wenty-four
hours. At the end of this time the
paint will often have disappeared.
but If it has not, wet the material in
turpentine and lay in the sun for
several hours. We again and re-
peat this until every trace OF the
paint is removed. Green paint seems
especially hard to remove, but, eff at
first you don't succeed, try, try
again. as i did when my daughter,
in a fresh white dress, ran against a
newly painted r door, and had
entire success-this sounds as IL ]
meant she had success in covering
herself with paint, which she did, but
the browning uccess was mine in
removing the paint by using the
above process.-Housekeeper.

Red Men Who Have Accomplished
Much In an Agricultural Way.
Writing on the progress Of the In
dams DIN the arts Of peace, ]. NJ. OsH-
SON, In Everybody's, gives the follow
ing account of an Indian county fair
on the Rosebud Reservation in 1906:
"For two days the races, the e
hfbits, the games and the Farmers
Institute engaged the attention Of the
visitors. On the third day Reuben
Quick Bear, a full-blooded Sioux and
the master OF ceremonies announced
the prizeIwinners among the ex-
hibitors. To lander Big, Crow was
awarded a clock for owning the best
improved and best equipped allotment
ON the reservation. Wooden Ring won
O watch for showing the best collec-
ton of domestic animals. Minnie War
Bonnet carried away a lamp As evil
dence that she is the best housekeep-
er and cook among the women of
Rosebud. An appropriate prize was
that won by Andrew Long Warrior, the
champion vegetable-grower, for the
committee awarded him a spade. Plen-
ty Bull has the largest are Of cuIti-
waited land on his allotment; the COM
mittee gave him a file to sharpen hts
p~lowshare. John Elk-Looks-BEack
grew the largest melon, and his re-
ward was a long-bladed jacknife. The
best colt and the best calf OF 1906
were shown by William Standing Bear
and Charles Stands-by-Him, respective
ly. A cane was presented to the tall
est man present, named Understands
at-Him, and a dollar cash vent to
Alice Search-the-Enemy because she
was judged to be the prettfest girl
In camp.
"Mr. Quick Bear was enthusiastic.
He said that the fair had served to
bring to the notice Of hundreds OF
Indians what was being done by their
netghbors, and that it would stimulate
competition. He had not observed a
single case Of drunkenness; there had
been no disorder. The games and the
races had been keenly contested, but
no bad feeling had resulted and no
gambling had been discovered"

A Good Bread Box.

Occasionally the housewife ndsthat
she has no convenient place to set the
ordinary tin bread box, and some
other receptacle must be prepared
for "the stan of life" If you have
a drawer, large enough to hold the
bread, this will answer very well, by
having it lined with tin by the tin.
smith. Half of the top Of the lining
should be on hinges SO that, when
the drawer is pulled out half way,
the cover can be lifted up to put the
bread in or take 1t out. The bread
keeps fresh, and nc dust or mice car
possible get at it, and when the boz
is closed and pushed back it is en-.
tirely out OF the way.
Another drawer would also serve
well for the cakes.

Anthracite Coars Centenary.

Just a hundred years ago the first
shipment OF anthracite coal ever
made went from Plymouth, Luzerne
County, to Columbia, Lancaster
County, and a number of citizens Of
Plymouth are now arousing enthu-
siasm for q Celebration of this heroic
event. Abijah Smith shipped the
first cargo of the black diamonds in
an ark, foatihg down the Susque-
hanna-River. The discovery by Jesse
Fell, of Wilkes-Barre, about six
months after this shipment, that the
new fuel would burn in his CRATE with
intense heat without an air blast
caused many orders to come into Ply
mouth for fuel, and the chief busi-
ness Of the town ever since has been

Papers Under Mattress.

q Lay two thicknesses of newspapers
on the bed springs and then lay the
mattress on the papers. This keeps
the mattress from getting black
marks on it. Sometimes in rainy
weather the springs get rusty, and it
gets on the mattress. but If you keep
paper on the springs it picks up all
the rust.

It is rumored that the railroad authorities have sufficient eyi- dence to warrant the conviction of some who tempered with the switch, but they are waiting to secure evidence against others who they believe were implicated in the murderous act.
 It is miracle that none of the passengers were not injured, more than being cut by flying glass, as the combination negro and smoking car was almost com pletely demolished and the day coach was badly damaged. The engine was thrown on it's side about 80 feet from the main line and. the, jacket was completely stripped from it.. The body of Fireman Currier was, found between. the engine and tender crushed almost into jelly and was removed to his home in Argenta on the night of

MEMPHIS FLYER WRECKED. Engineer Kilcoyne and Fireman Currier Killed Outright>>Other Trainnen
 Seriously Injured,

Running the Speed of Fify Miles Hour No. the East Bound Fast Mail and Express Dashed into Cren
 Switch at Cuneo With Fatal Results

What is claimed to be the most fatal wreck in the history of the Rock-Island railroad occurred last Friday evening about , o'clock when No. 6, the east bound Hot Springs and Memphis Flyer dashed into an open switch at Cuneo, , miles east Of this place, completely defailing the entire train, except the pullman car.
 Engineer T. J. Kilcoyne and Fireman M. A. Currier were both instantly killed and mum Der. of other trainmen were more
 less injured.
 s The Wreck was caused by the work of some malicious person, as the switch, had been opened and locked in that condition some time after 2:30 P. NJ, when west bound passenger train No. 5 passed the scene of the wreck, ehere,being no other train through unti) a&ter the wreck occurred.

the wreck, but Engineer Xii coyne's body could not be remov- ed until next morning when it was taken from under the de bris in a mangled condition entirely unrecognizable and taken to Argenta, where it was prepared for burial and removed to his home in Paducah, Ky.
 The unfortunate fireman was a warm friend to the editor of the Independents and we know of no words adequate to express our great sympathy to his loving wife, who had been a bride only a few months. None but those who have sat in the shadow of great bereavement can justly weigh such a sorrow as this.
 Mansford Currier was 25 years old and was one Of nature s noblemen in it's truest sense brave, generous, manly. His was a soul of honor and his untimely death has caused thousands of hearts in every section of the state to beat in tender sympathy for his wife and other relatives.
 We trust that the railroad officials will be successful in their efforts to capture the guilty parties and bring them to justice, that they may be punished for this, one of the greatest crimes that man could be accused of, but we do not think that the statute provides a law that could be meted out sufficiently to justly punish a criminal of this stripe.

Teddy Gets Even

Washington, Feb. President
Roosevelt has injected strong dash
of practical irony into his political feud
with Senator Foraker, OF Ohie, by
picking out, without consulting the
Senator, we'll known Ohio colored
man for fat Federal job in thai
State.
The President by this act, no doubt
expected to prove to the colored broth
er in Ohio that after all "Geddy's his
friend, not Joey" Foraker has given
practically no recognition to Ohio me-
groes.
Ralph Tyler, of Columbus, is the
man the President has picked out for
s lryeyor of the port OF forsksr's own
town of Cincin 1ati.to which there is at
>cued the comfortable salary of 50, 900
, a year.
In selecting Tyler the President has
been guided by the advice OF his friend
Booker Il. Washington, the noted ne
gre educator. Neither Senator Foraker
nor Senator Dick was consulted. All
they will have to do with the matter
will be to vote for the confirmation OF
Tyler in the Senate. That they will do
this without visible wincing is fore
