They Took Him In.

A certain foreign scientist, who recent
ly lectured 10 this country, was, to say
the least, careless about dress. Once ha
was asked to lecture in city not far
from Philadelphia. He went, taking
with him his dress suit, and no other
suit. Having given his lecture, he spent
the night at the house of fellow pro-
lessor, woke up the next morning, cheer.
fully donned the dress suit, and sailed
forth to give another lecture at the local
college.
He didn't know just where the college
was, but, spying an imposing looking
building, not far from his hosts rest
dcnce, decided that that was 1t. While
walking toward the door he suddenly
saw an ant hill. Bugs were his speciality.
He dropped at once to his knees, dress
suit and all, and started to scoop OUT
ants.
The next thing he knew he was sur.
rounded by a body of men who had
rushed out from the imposiDg-looking
building. They seized him roughly and
proceeded to drag him indoors. He
gesticulated. He protested in many
languages. 1t was of no avail. At last,
however, explanations we're forthcoming
The imposing Hooking building was
none other than the lunatic asylum.
Seeing man attired in dress suit dig
ging up ants at 10 o'clock in the morning
the attendants had thought that an in.
mate had escaped, hence the sally and
attack.

EIioht Of the Spirit.

A case recorded by Plutarch would
seem to support the theory that during
periods of protracted insensibility the
spirit Of the sleeper. freed from the
body, wanders away to realms and
scenes not conceivable by the ordinary
senses. A man named Thespius. he
tells us, fell from great height and
was picked up to all appearances dead.
There were no external wounds about
him, but the physicians were satisfied
Of the fact Of the deccase. Arrange
ments were made for his burial. but
on the third day after his fall he re-
vived. much to the CONSERVATION of his
friends. In II short time it became
quite evleE. that the whole tentr Of
tile mans life had changed. Previous
~ his character was that Of Il repro
bate and Il vicious man. but after his
in:;en. ibiiity he ever followed after
virtue On being asked the reason Of
the change. Thcspius relatrd that dur
ing his long sleep his spirit had been
liberated from his body and had soar
ell away to strange land. where II
had Joined II whole company Of other
spirits. His past life WAS disclosed to
him In all its hideousness. and the
glorious capabilities which were be-
fore him were revealed In such man
ner as to make him ambitious Of Mt
tanning them.

along the Mis-
sissippi, known to history as "Black
Hawks war"
Black Hawk was one Of the bravest
and most dangerous Of Indian leaders.
His real name was Mak-a-tae-mish-K XII
akiak.
When the war Of 1872 broke out
Black Hawk and 500 Of his braves vol
unteered their services to the British,
who eagerly accepted the offer and
conferred on the chief the honorary
title Of general. This action Of Black
Hawk naturally did not tend to add
to his popularity with Uncle Sam. Ac-
.ordingly, when the war OF 1872 was
over. and the nation was In position
to back up its demands by force,
treaty was formally ratified and Black
Hawk. as we'll as the rest Of his chiefs,
signed it. A large part Of the Sac and
Fox Indians, under chief known as
Keokuk. crossed the Mississippi into
Iowa to a reservation set aside for
them. But Black Hawk, though he
had signed the agreement, fatty re-
fused to 60. He said the land was still
his and he induced hundreds OF fam
flies in the tribes to remain with
him.
There. for a time, he and his follow
ers remained, unmolested, waxing
yearly stronger and more arrogant In
their possession. They grew to despise
the power of the United States and to
ieer at their fellow tribesmen who had
obeyed the treaty.
But at last settlers began to invade
this strip Of debatable land. They
ploughed up the Indians crops, reared
homesteads OH the Sac and Fox VII
lage sites, destroyed their hunting
grounds and broke up their fisheries.
The dispossessed savages focked to
Black Hawk for redress. He declared
war on the United States and swooped
down on the settlers with rife and
tomahawk to wrest from them by
force the lands Of his fathers. For
the moment 1t seemed as though the
rebclious chief would succeed In his
mad attempt at blocking the resist

ate courage of the Indians availed
nothing against the superior military
discipline of the regulars. Black
Hawk was defeated.
Gaines, pressing his advantage,
drove the foe to the Mississippi. The
Indians crossed the river into Iowa,
to the Sac and Fox reservation, and
Gaines retired, confident that the brief
war was ut an end. However, he
reckoned without any knowledge OF
the chiefs stubborn courage.
Next spring Black Hawk, with his
braves. recrOssed the Mississippi.
He split up his army into separate
bands and scattered them through
Illinois and Wisconsin, where they at
tackled the white settlers and spread
panic all along the frontier. Another
United States force, led by General
Scott. the hero of Lundy's Lane, was
sent to put him down, but cholera
epidemic wrecked the expedition.
Embroidered by this, the Indians In
creased their depredatiOns and carried
their raids still further into the white
mems country. General Dodge, with

astrous Scott attack. He rounded up
the Indians and forced them to give
