AN ISLAND OF MASSAcRES.
Over Five Million People Have Been
Assassinated In Haiti.

Haiti has been the scene of more
massacres than any other place on
earth
They began with the coming Of Co
lumbus and the rabble rout that fol
lowed him. In a few years its 3,010,-
900 gentle, brown skinned Inhabitants
had perished utterly, e2terminated by
fire and sword and by forced labor in
the mines, to which they were utterly
unsuited. In all history is no tragedy
more colossal and more pitiful than
this one.
Next the buccaneers seized the un-
happy island and wreaked vengeance
on the Spaniards in such a manner
that even the old chroniclers tell of the
worst Of the atrocities only in the Latin
tongue.
Presently came the French, and for a
brief space there was some semblance
of peace. But in 1898 the negroes re-
volted and murdered practically all the
whites, the scenes enacted resembling
those that took place at Cawnpore and
elsewhere during the Indian mutiny.
but magnifed a thousandfold.
On account Of these atrocities fright
full reprisals took place when France
in due course reconquered the island.
But the negroes bided their time and
presently rose again under a rufhan
named Dessalimes.
This time they did the thing thor
oughly. Not only were all the Euro
peans put to death, but all having any
admixture of white blood in their veins
suffered like fate. Many of the vic
tins were burned alive after having
been first tortured
In all it is computed that over 5,000,-
900 men, women and children have
met with violent deaths on this island
Of massacres since the intruding white
man first set foot on its palm fringed
strand.-Pearson's Weekly.

Sleep 1aIkera.

1t is curious fact that people when
talking in their sleep are always truth
fui and never evasive, but If their
feelings are played upon by their ques-
toner they will betray great anger.
Their eyes are always tightly closed
and the intonation Of the voice is very
different from the tones used when
the person is fully awake. Sleep talk
ers may by conversation be brought to
remember dream within a dream,
and they will recollect what happened
in preceding dreams. Very often men
tai anxiety will make people talk in
their sleep when under other conditions
they would never do it.

The Lancer Snake.

There is a snake called the lancer,
which lives in South America and Is
very. ready with its fangs. 1t is a
small, brown, Insignificant beast, but
its bite induces a sort of imaginary
swelling all over the victims body.
He feels as if every inch of him were
being strained to breaking point, and
the agony which results is too awful
for words. Generally, however, the
excess of pain drives the bitten man
mad before very long, and in four
hours he dies-a senseless imbecile.

The drummer made no reply, and a
long silence followed. AT last, how
ever, the landlord emitted a soft
chuckle and, pointing across the street,
said:
"You wouldn't ever guess, now,

"Of course we was all surprised at

talked about it and wondered al il.
Joe couldn't understand it, either, SO

did a multitude of green bugs and mos.

The model was posing. Being a life class
model. his costume was extreme in an
unconventional way. The pose was an
heroic one. The models face and figure
were strained to the ideal desired by the
artists. A green bug settled on his arm.
A mosquito joined the bug. Under the
glare Of the light the insects could be
plainly seen by the artists. Several
watched the models Spartan effort to re-

The mosquito moved slightly. The mod

TRICKS PAIR

Sought Wife and Wife
Sought Husband.

Minneapolis, Mimi, July 27.-While
Mrs. Teckla Lethn. a stranded Russian
woman, has been walking about Min
neapolis' streets in search of her hus-
band who she supposed had deserted
her, o Letfln. the husband, has been
walking the same streets for three
weeks in search of her. It was only by
chance that they met yesterday.
The peculiar predicament in which
the husband and wife found themselves
was due to the misunderstanding of a
letter. While they were searching for
each other their year-old son died in
the city hospital.
Later Letfin came to Minneapolis, OBJ
tanned employment, snd a short time
ago wrote to his wife to come here, as
he was making enough for both. She
spent what money she had saved and
came with her children. When they
arrived at the union station the man
wasn't there to meet them. The wom-
an searched until exhausted and was
then cared for by the police, who pro-
vided here with a temporary home.
