Zakris Topelius, the most popular
poet Finland has ever known" was a
lover of his native land above all else.
Once, says Paul Waineman in "a
Summer Tour in Finland, he wrote
as follows to little Finnish boy who
was at the time residing in England
for his schooling:
you are in a great and rich coun-
try, but never forget that you are only
an exile.

WILD WEST SHOW
Coming to North Adams on Friday
of This Week


With the 1O1 Ranch Wild West
show which will visit North Adams
for two performances Friday, June
18th, are the only Indian twins ever
permitted to live. according to all
government historical and current re-
ports and to the information the Mil
Ter Brothers can secure from many
tribes of red men They are Joe and
Sam Lone Bear full-blooded Poncas.
The death of their mother soon after
their birth and the absence OF their
father on a hunting trip at the time
was a fortunate combination OF events
in the life of one of them.
The ancient, well authenticated GUS
toms of all Indians was to kill the
mother and one offspring in the event
of a double birth. The vigilance OF
the government authorities has of late
wears inundated the Indians from
ending the life OF the woman, but
there is no other record OF two cnii-
dren being permitted to 1--we. Wlue-
spread calamity, aboriginal traditions
has it, is sure to follow the advent OF
twins and only the immediate death
of one will dispefl it.
Joe and Sam Lone Bear say the
light on Christmas day of last year
and Tim Mix, cold numbed cowboy
stumbled upon their log cabin on the
wind-swept Oklahoma prairie few
hours later. The mother was breath
ing her last Her final effort was an
attempt to wrest one of the infants
from the scattering arms of the unex-
pected visitor. AS life left her body,
the cowboy wrapped the squalling ba-
bies in blanket, and rode with them
to the Bar ranch house, where he was
employed The father claimed them
week later, but the ranchmen of tne
neighborhood, knowing well the old
Indian tradition, removed the twins to
the government agency. The federal
official upheld them in their action.
lack T. Miller, of the 101 Ranch,
| learning of the episode. secured his
appointment as legal guardian, and
| the babies were soon after given
permanent nome on the famous area.
The father made several efforts to sur
reptitiously get possession of them,
but was frustrated. He married again
in February and the incident appar-
emily became forgotten memory.
Joe and Sam are seeing the country
with the 101 Ranch show in charge OF
devoted pale-face nurse, for Mr.. Mil
Ter will trust them to no one of their
race. He says he is going to educate
| them in the white mans way.
Another barbarous custom of the
Indians is the killing of person. sick
| from natural causes, who is declared
| by the medicine man to be beyond
hope. No Indian will reach the happy
hunting ground of his forefathers. be
| lief prevails, if he die a natural death.
His end must be the result of violence
to insure an eternal happy hereafter.
Thus the red man killed in battle,
thrown from horse. ground by buffa-
10 or hurt in the chase dies convinced
of his everlasting peace. The recog-
nized practice is to smother the vic
| tim of natural diseases just before the
normal end. There are instances
where Indians have been interrupted
by the authorities as tney were pre-
pairing to smother a supposedly dying
man. and he has recovered under the
white physicians treatment

Perhaps the most remarkable vol.
canic eruption known was that which
took place in August. 1888, at the Is
land of Krakatoa, In the Straits of
Sunda. Streams of volcanic dust were
thrown II miles high. and more than
cubic mile of material was expelled
from the volcanic crater. The air
waves started by the eruption trav-
eled around the earth seven times.
The noise was heard at Mascasa, 500
miles away; at Borneo. 1.116 miles dis
tant; In West Australia, 100 miles
away, and even at Rodaguez, distant
more than 1900 miles. The dust and

crater made the entire circuit of the
earth before settling down. and was
the cause Of the strange sunsets that
were observed for many months.

to the spread Cf the cholera epidemic

powerless to check the cholera, which
had now afflicted every city and viii
lage in the Crimea
To protect the imperial family, a
sanitary Gordon was added to the tri-
pie ring of secret service men who
always surround the cars villa, and
no one was allowed to approach the
royal residence. So great was the
fear that the dread disease will reach
the ruler. thatno supplies for the
royal household We're procured in the
neighborhood. Everything used at the
villa was rushed from the north on
special express trains.

NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-A horrible
story of a battle to death between a
man and a huge bull dog, in which
the man was killed and left lying in a
pool of his own blood, was told today
at the coroner's inquest into the death
of Carl Limpert
The dog that figured in the unique
tragedy was the property of Limpert's
sister. The dog developed an intense
hatred for Limpert and on several oc-
casions attacked him savagely. De-
spite Limpert's advice, the woman re-
fused to part with the pet. Early yes
terday when Limpert entered his sis
ter's fiat he found the dog in sole pos
himself upon the man and for nearly
half an hour the combatants rolled
about the floor in a deadly struggle,
Limpert unable to gain the door

body was found on the floor beside
the overturned table His throat was
torn into shreds and his head and
shoulders lay in a pool of blood. The

on all the roads penetrating the Pacific
northwest is unchanged today. At a
meeting last night the strikers failed
to agree upon the tentative prOposi-
ton advanced, that provided for their
return to their posts until an amicable
settlement of the differences with their
employer could be reached. The atti-
tude of the other bodies OF organized
labor here, it is state, has exerted
dissatisfying influence, and had much
to do with their failure to accede to
the wishes of the wOrkmen advocating
their temporary return to work

probably THURSDAY evening to consid-
er the terms of a recent offer of Mrs.
Henrietta M Stone to sell to the city
a tract of 35 acres of land, lying just
west of the present cemetery for use
as cemetery grounds, the price con-
tanned in the offer having been $500
an acre Whether the offer will be ac-
cepted is not known, the general feel
ing of members of the council being
that the price is somewhat exorbitant
That the city is in dire need Of in

tract having been considered crowded
for several months past. By the pur-
chase of the 35 acres belonging to Mrs.
Stone, it would be possible for the city
to maintain both tracts with the same
water system, and to have the sexton
care for lots in the new tract, as well
as in the present cemetery. In case the
Stone offer is not accepted, "a tract in
another locality will have to be Sc
cured in a short time, making the con-
'struction of a new water system
necessary, and making it also imper-
ative TO secure the services of another
