NO MORE RUNAWAYS.

AT Oneonte I got Into empty box car As the
train started two men climbed in. 1 shrank back
IN the dark, hoping they wouldn't see me- for l
had been warned OF the 'yeggs.' But they struck
a light and straight for me. They had seen
me get in. They knocked me senseless. When I
came 10 myself found they had taken every cent
I had. my coat. my shirt, my belt, my hat and my
shoes. All I wore were trousers, undershirt and
stockings. I cried myself TO sleep
when woke the train still, and could
see that it was daylight outside The thieves had
fastened the door behind them with the hasp and
stable outside. I pounded and yelled, and finally a
'brakey' opened the door. He called the yard bull
that is, a policeman, who arrested
''As went along told the policeman my story.
He believed ne. You were mighty lucky to get
off as well you did said he: those ''yeggs" lie
in wait TO rob the hoppers and harvesters when
they come out of the fields with money in their
pockets They threw man off a Lake Shore
freight not long ago stark naked, took every stitch
on him, and they've thrown men off and killed
tt an. Then he read me lecture on my foolish
ness and I can tell you that took it a good deal
more submissively than anything Of the same kind
I ever took from my father.
1.-The policeman took to Jail and got me some
breakfast. The judge read another lecture and
discharged My friendly policeman spoke TO
missionary woman who was around the court, and
she got me a jacket, pair Of shoes too large for
me a forlorn cap and pair of suspenders. l was
more thankful for those than anything Then my
policeman took to day boat and spoke to the
man that had charge of the trunk room. and he
slowed me away and let me so down the river
for nothing.
Il got home a sadder and wiser boy. but the
experience was a valuable one both for and for
my father. I guess the old man had been
worried than he ever let on. anyway, he seemed
changed to me, and I guess there isn't any doubt
that I seemed changed to him. I never ran away
from home again"

RECEIVERS HIS GOLD
Montana Pioneer Finds Treasure
Buried Forty-fOur Years Ago.

Helena Mont Oct 10-Of all the thrilling stories
told BY visiting pioneers by George LiscoIn,
of Miles City. has golden setting which makes 1t
especially interesting. IN 1856 Liscom was a mem
Der Of a party Of fur hunters who operated in this
section of the state. Early in January OF that
year they camped over near the gap one
dav L.iscom rode several miles away from the
camp after otter skins which he believed
could be obtained at a small creek out from the
gap" When some distance from the camp he met
an Indian who manifested interest in the destina-
ton of the white He asked questions which
caused Liscom to grow suspicious He wanted tc
show his friendliness by shaking hands with his
white brother.
Llscom reached out and shook hands but as he
brought his hand back he pulled the Indians
volver from the belt. A later the Indian
exclaimed "Indians"' and pointed back Of Liscomb-
The hunter looked back, but at the time he
OWNED the object OF the redskin and threw his
hand up his head. As he did so the wagon
spoke with which the aborisine intended TO brain
his victim came down the upraised hand. and
a result Liscom has a stiff finger. The fur hunter
sent a bullet into the Indian, who in topping of
his horse caught in the surcngle on Lis
CONS horse. Thinking he not dead and
holding on, the white put another bullet
through the Indians throat
The weight OF the redskins body finally broke
the surcingle and Liscoms horse ran away. Fort
unateIy. the Indians horse did not run away.
About that time sixteen Indians got within firing
distance and began to shoot The Indians horse
wounded. and using the body Of the animal
breastwOrk, Lscom began do a little
cutiOn. lie laid low Indian with each OF the
first six shots. 1t finally became so warm for the
Indians that the four five of them who were
still alive rode away.
But the white man did not escape without
wounds. He made his way back camp. "Old
Man Buchanan. who still lives out near Kendall.
attempted bit OF surgery. using a bullet mould in
his effort TO get a bullet which been fattened
against. one CT the bones in Liscom's leg Later
the camp in which Liscom was lying was attacked
by Indians and he buried $500 in gold dust He
supposed that some member of the party had dug
1t up until Buchanan few months ago told him
that so far as he knew, the gold dust was still
where it was buried. Accordingly. in May of this
year, forty-twO years and four months after IL
was buried. Lisccm went TO the old camping; place
in the gap" aud uncovered the gold dust The
powder box and chamois bag in which il was
buried had dsintegrated, but all the gold dust was
there.
Lscom is now a we'll known stOckrnan Of Caster
County. He carries thirteen scars made b- arrows
and bullets, which speak eloquenty of the vicissl-
tudes through which the trail blazers passed. "a biI

HOW LAIR GROWS.

A single hair, which support weight Of two
ounces, is so elastic that il may be stretched TO
one-third of its entire length and then regain its
former size and condition Dr. Pincus has meas
ured the growth OF hair by cutting off circles about
inch IN diameter from the heads Of healthy
men, and comparing the growth of the patches
with that Of the rest Of the hair. He found that
the growth generally became slower after
cutting; that in cases the hair the patches
grew at the same rate as the rest, but that it
grew any faster.
The ordinary length Of the hair on the head
ranges between twenty-five inches and about forty
five inches, the latter being considered unusually
long Il has been calculated that hair OF the
beard grows at the OF line and a half
