Mammoth Cave.

For many years after the discovery
Of Mammoth cave the entire work Of
exploration was practically in the
hands Of negro slaves. the property Of
the man who owned the cave. Some
times they would come to an obstacle
that barred the passage, such as a
great limestone rock or a yawning
crevasse across the way. Such obsta-
cles would often stop exploration in
that direction for years. though beyond
the obstruction there were likely to be
scores Of beautiful chambers and many
miles Of passageways. Thus 1t happen
ed that for years nothing was known
Of that large part of the cave lying be-
yond the abyss named the Bottomless
pit. This obstruction was known for
over twenty years before 1t was cross
ed. Then one day in 1887 the negro
cave explorer Stephen and some OF his
fellows dragged to the place the trunk
of small tree. and on this rather dan
gerous bridge Stephen crawled across
the abyss. Then began the explora-
tions that revealed one of the most
wonderful and extensive parts or
Mammoth cave. The abyss was found
later to be $50 feet deep.

An unonnnoiou. M.nI

Once John Muir, author and ranch
man. was dining with a friend. They
sat down, and Muir began to tell a
story. The waiter came around several
times. but the story was so good moth
ing was ordered. Muir talked and talk
ed. and in between he would reach
over and break of a piece Of bread
from a French loaf on the table. This
he did a good many times. The story
reminded him of another and so he
talked and ate bread until finally, being
very hungry. his companion broke in
with:
"well, what shall I order for you. Mr.
MuirY
"order?" he repeated in his abstrac-
tion.
Eyes, order-to eat"
He looked over at the last little re-
naming piece of bread ON the plate
and said. as II waking from a dream:
Eat? Why. I've had all want.

NO MALICE
WAS SHOWN
Circumstances Which Led
Up to Shooting Of Father
by Son Told at Inquest

After considering the evidence heard
at the inquest last night, In the case
Of Louis Kricewsky, who was shot and
killed by his son, Alexander KricewslSy,
last Sunday, the coroner's jury came
to the conclusion that no malice was
shown by the young man when he fired
the fatal shots.
The verdict was as follows:
Resolved, That Louis KricewslSy
came to hts death at No. 11O7 A street.
In the city Of Wilmington. Delaware,
Sunday morning, March 15, 1908. from
the effects Of a gunshot wound at the
hands Of Alexander Kricewsky, with
out malice"
A strange thing about the shooting
is that while the mother and two
sisters Of the young man heard but
two shots fired. Coroner's Physician
Bastian testified that there were three
wounds under the dead mans left
arm, of which one proved fatal This
bullet penetrated the lung and entered
a large blood vessel leading from the
heart.
Mrs. Kricewslxy and her daughters,
Rebecca and Dora, were the principal
witnesses. The mother testified that
her husband and son had quarrelcd
some time previous to the shooting, but
previous to that time. they had been
on the best of terms She said the
trouble that morning was over a box
belonging to the boy, which the father
demanded She did not see the shoot

did. and the most interest was centered

Dora testified that her father sent
her to her brothers room on the fatal
morning for a box. and the latter gave
her a small tin box TO take 10 the

Laro. Thumbs.

'People Of great strength Of charac-
ter, who are guided by the head rather
than the heart, have large thumbs" I"
says Irving r. Bacon. whenever you
see a person with a strikingly large,
well developed thumb, you may be al
most certain you have before you one
who is a natural .borp ruler, eminently
practical and fond Of whatever is use
full Wherefore also he is fond Of his
tory. A large thumbed woman may
fall in love as deeply as her small
thumbed sister. but viii not marry un-
less she can see e sufficient bread and
butter supply ahead. But she is more
apt to be a real helpmate when adver-

they needed help as much as we. He
was asked II he had any money prom

positively secure any appreciable part
of the amount, and he stated that ne
had not. and could not at that time
state. We we're not beggars neither
were we going to permit anybody to
hold US up, poverty stricken, before the
very churches that had in great ex-
tent by their determined opposition
brought US TO the point We. then had
reached, and the president OF the trus-
tees so stated in few words TO the pre-
siding elder. From that time till the
