THE HICKORY TREE.
1t Is Wholly American and Belongs to
Us Alone.

IL 10 NHOlIJ SIHCIISdH anu oClOhSo ~
Us Alone.
Strictly speaking, there is only one
American tree-only one tree family,
| that is-no member of which has ever
been found on any other continent. This
is the hickory. 1t belongs to us alone,
and it's very name is a legacy from the
former owners of the land. The His
torie of Travaile Into Virginia Bri-
tannia" says:
Hickory is derived from the Indian
name of the liquor obtained by pound
ing the kernels. These the Indians
beat into pieces with stones and put
ting them, shells and all, into mortars,
mingling water with them, with long
wooden pestle pound them so long
together until they make a kind Of
mylke, or oylie liquor, which they call
POwcohicora."
There are nine varieties Of this
tree on the American continent, and,
although the tree is a stranger to Eu-
rope, and so has not shared in the:
legacy of ancient legend and story with:
the oak. the ash and the other trees
familiar to Greek and Teuton, it has
made up for its poverty in this res
pect since the time Of the early set
tiers in its own native country. It's
qualities are celebrated in the Ameri-
can proverb, Tough as hickory" And
we all remember the nickname of Pres
ident Jackson, "Old Hickory" which
was no less an expression Of affection
than a word descriptive Of his strong
and reliable character In the Revo-
lutiOnary war, too, hickory played its
part, for the ramrods of our forefath-
ers were made from it's wood. Com
mercially it is valuable where a strong
and close grained wood is needed, and
no doubt the excellence of the Amer
lean AK is due quite as much to its
handle of hickory as to the quality Of
its steel
Hickory nuts were highly appre-
ciated by the Indians Bertram in his
Travels In North America" states
that has seen over a hundred BUSH
els of these nuts belonging to one fam
lily. The Indian name Of the nut ap-
pears in English as kiskitomas, kisk-
tyom and kiskythomas, all of which
are probably cOrruptions Of the word
kwaskadamenne, a word which we
translated by the phrase. 1T must be
cracked by the teeth" The Indians
certainly had the secret of creating
what Humpty Dumpty called port
manteau words"
In the hungry days Of spring, be-
fore the earth was producing other
food. the Indians are said to have
kept off starvation by eating the young
buds Of the hickory. Having tried to
follow in their footsteps, I found that
the buds, while delicious in flavor, are
rather like a mixture Of shoe leather
and wool in texture, so they cannot
have been a very satisfactory diet

Then Mrs. Ellicott spoke. She tried

coldly Keep your place here. My
mother will take care Of you, and you
have nothing further to fear from me.
As God hears me, I will never willingly

Before another word could be uttered

gone in the track of Paget Fassel-the
husband had followed the lover, and
both were lost to Mignon forever.

SOUTH CAROLINA is PARADISE.
Compared to Springfield, Says Negro
Who Is Coming Back.

AT the Union depot Sunday after
noon, waiting for a train to Augusta
was a negro woman who was on her
way to some point in South Carolina.
While in the waiting room she fell
to talking to some of the negroes in
the room with her, and from the con-
versation 1t was learned that she was
/ from Springfield, and was returning to
her old South Carolina home.
She said that seven years ago her
people went to Springfield, because
they had been assured that the negro
was more respected in that section of
|'ttas country, and had every right that
white NEeple had. The children went
to the Same schools, they ate in the
same restaurants, and there were no
Jim Crow cars, and that there was no
distinction in anything on account Of
color. She says that to some extent
they found this to be true, especially
as to the mixed schools, but there was
no real mixing Of the races otherwise,
and they kept to themselves. They
found that while it might be under
stood that there was no distinction,
and that the white women called a
negro woman Mrs. So-andSo, there,
was no such thing as calling socially,
and but for the fact that they were
there and could not get away, they
would have returned.
In the recent troubles at Springfield
the negroes were treated worse by the
whites than they ever were In the
south and every negro who could sell
out and move was leaving. This wo-
man was threatened with whipping and
her own family were compelled to
leave. She does not know where they
went, because in the confusion there
was no stopping to hunt for kinfolks.
She only knows that before the sepa-
ration they all wanted to go back to
South Carolina, and she was going
there, knowing that If alive they will
sooner or later meet her there.
She said that down south, in South
Carolina, or elsewhere, the mob went
after the one negro. In Springfield,
they went after the whole bunch. In
the south, she said the negro had a
good chance to live in safety and
peace as anybody, so long as he be-
haved himself In Springfield not only
were they after the bad ones, but the
good ones. No negro was safe, and
she had noticed that this feeling
against the negro was growing strong
er and stronger every year. She pre-
diets that in a very few years there
will be separate schools for whites and
negroes all over the west and north.
South Carolina was a paradise to
the west for the negro, she said, but
the fool negro didn't know it until he
spent all his money getting away, as
he couldn't get back.
One old negro woman sitting in the
waiting room, who had been listening
to the talk in silence, threw up her
hands and rolled her eyes upward, and
exclaimed: "ain't dat the trufe. e."-Ma-
con Telegraph.

ANCIENT PICTURE THIEVES.
Some Who Were Caught and Put to
Death-Instance of Clever Substitu-

Some Who Were Caught and Put to
Death-lnstance of Clever Substitu-
ton.
In olden days-indeed until the end
Of the Napoleonic era-art robberies on
grand scale were the privilege Of the
mighty Of this earth and the adjunct
Of victorious warfare. This was so In
the days of ancient Rome, when ship
loadfuls Of marbles and bronzes were
transplanted from Greek to italian
soil; and it was again when the First
Napoleon pillaged the collections and
churches Of Italy and Spain. Such ac-
ton. however was considered the con-
querors right and does not come with
in the scope Of this article, which Is to
deal with petty theft and criminal ap-
preparation Of works Of art.
The first deed Of this nature Of which
I have been able to trace the record
occurred as far back as 1901, when two
heads were cut out Of Weneeslaus Keo-
berger's "Martyrdom Of st. Sebastian
in Antwerp Cathedral. The fragment
is said to be even now in an English
private collection. But the thieves
were caught and speedily put to DEATH
Other cases are on record Of art
thefts committed in the dim past, but
in most cases they amount to a bare
statement that such and such a pict-
IRE or object disappeared at such and
such a date and has never been heard
II since. These records lack the fla
vor of romance which clings to those
other cases in which the peregrinations
# the thieves and of the stolen proper
tv can be followed, as in that Of the
famous Murillo at Seville Cathedral
representing "The Appearance Of the
infant Jesus to st. Anthony"
The Duke of wellington is said to
have been so struck by the beauty or
this masterpiece-a canvas Of impos-
ing size-that he offered to cover the
whole surface with gold pieces if the
chapter would sell it to him. However
the chapter refused: and in November,
1874, the figure of st. Anthony was cut
out Of the picture by unknown hands,
and the stolen fragment found its way
to America.
There Is a distinct element Of humor
in the circumstances that attended the
theft Of portrait by Paris Bordone,
good many years ago from the house
of a wealthy collector in Vienna, who
generally allowed the public access to
his gallery when he was away from
town. The picture was one day cut
out Of its frame and carried off. A re-
ward of G120 was Immediately offered
for it's recovery and descriptions Of the
stolen picture were sent to the diplo-
matte representatives Of Austria
abroad
The result was that stranger called
return the picture against payment Of
the promised reward II no further ques-
tions were asked. His terms were ac-
cepted. and on his producing the paint
ing, which fitted exactly into the open
ing that had been cut out Of the origi-
nal canvas, the stranger was paid his
promised reward. 1t was only some
time afterwards, when one Of the COL
lectors friends expressed doubt as to
the authenticity Of the "Bordone," that
the picture was found out to be a copy
of the stolen NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

The Story of Violin That Was
Wrecked In a Fire.

wrecked IN flre.
After the Lucky Baldwin theater
and hotel fire in San Francisco years
ago there were nine feet of water in
the basement, where the instruments
of the orchestra were stored. When
a little of it had been pumped out,
Hinrichs. leader of the orchestra, hir-
ed a man to swim in and get out his
famous Amati violin.
1t was wrecked-water soaked,
warped, twisted and broken up into
siXty-eight pieces. The hot water had
soaked out all the old glue. and every
piece had fallen away from its neigh
Dor, besides a good many patches Of
wood put in when repairs had been
done. TO all appearances the thing
was smashed beyond recall.
Nevertheless Herman Muller, To-
cal violin reparer, who knew and
loved the old fiddle. took it in hand.
Twice he carefully joined in the time
darkened pieces of wood. Twice he
decided that the Amati would not do.
SO once more he soaked the sixty
eight bits of wood apart. Then he
carefully modelled out of clay an arch
such as he remembered that of the
old Amati to have had and for nine
weeks kept the bits of wood bound to
it until they had gained the proper
shape.
Once more he put the bits of wood
together. Then for five weeks more
he patiently varnished and polished
the more than 200 years old fiddle un-
til it shOne. Then Hinrichs once more
drew his bow across the vibrating
strings, and the violin spoke. 1t sank,
wept. bubbled with life and joy.
The Amati had found its SOUL

BUDD's LEAP FOR LIFE.
Former California Governors Narrow
Escape From a Rattlesnake.

James H. Budd, the former governor
Of California who recently died at his
home in Stockton, Cal, told some years
ago the following story Of an escape
from the bite of a rattlesnake which
he once had: II was up in Calaveras
county fishing along the Stanislaus. l
had been told Of an almost inaccessible
pool up the river at the base Of the
perpendicular cliffs and fairly alive
with trout. / found the place and also
found there was only one way to get
a hook into the pool. I had to climb
on my hands and knees up steep
path to a sort Of shelf on the cliff. On
the other side of the shelf was sheer
drop of forty feet down to the pool.
Just as 1 dragged myself upon the
top of the ledge the whir Of a rattle
snake startled me. Naturally jumped
to my feet, exhausted as I was, but
dropped my fishing rod. The coiled
rattler was within two feet of me and
preparing to strike.
Either 1 had to go down on my
hands and knees again or jump forty
feet into the pool. AS I saw the dia-
mond head of the snake drawing back
to strike I decided and jumped. Just
as sprang the rattler struck. I had
a pair of moccasins on my feet and the
fangs Of the snake fastened in the one
nearest him. AS I went down l re-
member seeing the snake flying over
the other side Of the pool. Its fangs
had caught and had carried 1t with
me. Just what happened in the second
or two after 1 struck the water In my
dive Of forty feet don't know. Fortu-
nately the pool was fairly deep. AS
dragged myself upon the rocks at its
edge l realized with thankfulness l
never knew before that I was not only
alive, but had escaped the snake and
broken bones. I was badly bruised,
but not seriously hurt. What became
of the snake don't know"
