Saved BY a Photograph.

A very remarkable incident occurred
at BIO de Janeiro.
A passenger on board one OF the
large liners took a photograph Of the
harbOr. It included a small yacht
which had sailed in the morning with
two men In her, but returned in the
evening with one only. The survivor
said his companion had fallen over
board, but his statement was not be-
ueved. He was tried and sentenced TO
death. The matter had by this time
come to the ears OF the photographer,
who remembered that the picture had
been taken on the day Of the crime"
Cor accident and that the scene en-
braeed a yacht. On examining the
print more carefully he noticed small
speck on the sail and in order TO de-
eermine what 1t was had an enlarge
ment made. 1t proved to be the figure
Of a man falling. 1t was shown to the
authorities at once, and the condemned
man was released.

A Three Legged BIson.

them, told Black Kettle, a Cheyenne In
George Bents lodge, about having
KILLED, between the Cimarron ana
Beaver creek, a tributary OF the north
fork Of the Canadian, q buffalo bull
which had only one hind leg. Accord
ing to Small Eyes story, It did not ap-
pear that the bull had lost one Of It's
hind legs, but rather that It never had
had more than one. The hind leg was
very large, seemed to be in the mid
ole Of the body instead Of at one side,
and there was no sign Of any missing
leg. II looked as II the two hind legs
which the buffalo ordinarily has had
n some way fused together,
The war party with which Small
Eyes was travelling was passing along
near a hollow when the bull came up
out Of Il, and some OF the men ran
ahead, got around It and shot It with
q gun. IL was not able to run fast,
but rather hobbled along.-Forest and

As a matter OF fact, there Is no such
thing as fattening oysters. All you can
do is swell them up with water, pre-

sponge. You put them In fresh water,

Before the war broke out, the negro

Mr.. Thomas died, Wallace was his body
