salt Lakes.

The Great Salt lake is gradually dry
ing up, apd the Inhabitants of SAT-
Lake City seem quite surprised. They
ought not to be. All salt lakes owe
their salinity to the fact of their hay
ing no outlet, and a lake without an
outlet is a dying lake.
MOI is death usually long delayed,
speaking geologically. Lakes Koko
Nor and Lob Nor were undoubtedly
extensive inland seas not so very many
decades ago, yet Sven Hedin found
them reduced to mere acrid puddles
set in the midst of well nigh limitless
salt deserts that once were their beds.
The terrible Taklamakan desert, too,
in which Hedin nearly died Of thirst,
was once the bed Of just such a lake.
So also were the salt deserts of Persia.
Northern Tibet is studded with salt
lakes in process of desiccation. The
Aral and the Caspian seas were at one
time far more extensive than is now
the case, proving that they, too, are I'M
dergoing the inevitable process of des-
location to which all such bodies of
water are sooner or later invariably
subjected.-St. Paul Pioneer Press.

Negro EIoquence.

Some years ago one of Texas widely
known statesmen who is now dead
was passing along a street in Dallas
when an old colored man who had
once belonged to him approached, took
off his hat and passed a hand over his
white wool as he asked:
"Marster, gin de old nan so cents"
dan, you are a robber."
"How?" asked the astonished darby,
opening his eyes, around which rough
shod age had walked.
didn't you see me put my hand in
my pocketT"
Eyes, sab"
"Well, you old rascal, you rob me of
the pleasure of giving you money with
out being asked"
The old man received a dollar. Bow
ing almost to the ground, while tears
came out and coursed through the aged
prints around his eyes, he replied:
"Marster, wid-wid such a heart as
you hab and wild Abraham and Isaac

what can keep you out of heaven"

Folklore Stories.

The Journal of American Folklore
has some interesting folk tales of the
Nez Perces Indians:
"Once the sun fell down from the
sky just about sunrise. Mole caught
it and held it up until people got there
and helped him to shove it back. The
sun had meant to roll along on the
ground instead Of in the sky. 1t was
from holding up the u that Mole's
hands are bent so far back.
coyote and Cloud ran a race. Cloud
bet storm aud Coyote clear weather.
They started far away to the south,
and for awhile Coyote was in the lead,
Then Cloud made fruits of all kinds
to grow in front of Coyote, and he,
looking back and seeing Cloud far be-
hind, stopped to eat. In this way
Cloud caught up and won. This is
why we have storms in winter time"

Sittino Bull.

To look at Sitting Bull one would say
that he was always quiet and self con-
tanned. In fact, he did usually keep
himself under control, but he was cruel
and almost heartless. He had prac-
ticed cruelty to animals and men from
his childhood and as long as be lived;
he was full of passion and often very
angry. He vas always imperious and
insolent toward our generals, the In
dian agent and other friends of the
great father at Washington, whom he
claimed to hate. He had great talent
and ability TO plan campaigns and bat
ties and wonderful influence in bring
ing Indians together. Notwithstand-
ing all this, he was afraid of death.
and, though he planned the greatest
victory which the Indians ever gained
over white men, Sitting Bull himself
was a coward and disgraced himself
even before his own people by running
away In the very face of success

MoSBY WAS THERE.
A Cavalry Regiment Found Him, but
Didn't Make a Capture.


General John S. Mosby. the Confed-
crate cavalryman, used to tell of a
comic incident which happened in the
Shenandoah valley in 1864. Near Mill
wood a regiment of cavalry halted II
night and went into camp. One of the
men, who was hungry, slipped away
and went off in the n~eighborhood to
get something to eat. He rode up to a
cabin on a farm in the dark and called
for the person inside to come out.
A negro woman, known at that time
as an intelligent contraband, opened
the door and asked him what he want
ed. The soldier wished to be assured
of his safety before dismounting and
while eating his supper, so he inquired
of the woman if any one but herself
was there.
She replied, Eyes; Mosby is here"
"What!" said he in a whisper. "1s
Mosby heref"
yes" she said; "he is in the house"
The soldier put spurs to his horse
and dashed off to his company to carry
the news. When he got there he in
formed the colonel that Mosby was in
a house not far away. The regiment
was soon mounted and went at a fast
trot, thinking they had Mosby in a
trap.
When they arrived at the negro wo-
mans house the colonel ordered his
men to surround it to prevent Mosby's
escape. while he went in with a few to
take him dead or alive.
The woman again anne to the door
of the cabin. The colonel inquired. rs
Mosby hereP'
She innocently replied. YES" so he
walked in.
After the colonel got inside he looked
round. But the woman seemed to be
all alone and utterly unconscious Of
having so important a person for a
guest.
In a loud voice the colonel demand
ed, where is Mosby?"
"'Ere he," answered the terrified ne
gress, at the same time pointing to a
cradle on the floor.
The colonel looked into the cradle
and saw a little African ~pickaninny

Weston had lost most of her fortune.
Miss Weston spread the green gown
on the bed and surveyed it with a
strange yearning in her eyes. 1t was
of fine silken tissue in a tender leaf
green and embroidered here and there
with a tiny golden flower.
A pair of green slippers with gold
buckles and green stockings were tuck
ed In one corner of the box from which
the gown had been produced.

and kissed the girl tenderly. and Mil
dred felt a warn drop on her cheek,
but when she looked at her aunt Miss
Weston was smiling.
Come" she said blithely, get your
~workbasket."
Mildred danced with tireless energy
at the Patterson ball. The green gown
was vastly becoming to her fair beau
ty, and she had never looked more
charming.
Lester Stearns had succumbed to her
loneliness and in the fragrant GOODNESS
of the conservatory he asked Mildred
to marry him. She was radiant with
happiness when Mrs. Patterson APP
preached her, followed by a tall
stranger.

quested an introduction to the girl in
the green gown Miss Lane-Captain
Grayl Now, Mr.. Stearns, you may
take me into the supper ROOM" With
a little nod she was gone with the re-
luctant lover.
Mildred looked at her new acquaint-
ance, and decided at once hat she
would like him. He was a man in the
prime of life, with a brown, rugged
face that tod of an out of door life.
Strength and kindness were in his
gray eyes and vigor in his large, well
muscled frame.

Lane" said Captain Gray abruptly.

Mildred. 81 have never worn it until

I'D love to go, Aunt Lily, but you

invitation in her hand.
Miss Weston thoughtfully turned a
worn little ring on her slim finger as
she surveyed her pretty niece.
They looked very much alike, Miss
Lily and young Mildred, only the aunt
was slender to thinness and her once
but her eyes were as beautiful and
long dashed and full of depth and
sweetness as they had been fifteen
years ago, and her skin was as fair
and her lips were as red as Mildred's.
