FREE PASS FOR CORPSE

Asserting that her dead husband
was as much entitled to travel on
free pass as when he was alive, Mrs.
John Chadwick of Seattle, staggered
the purser of the steamship State of
Washington, by refusing to pay
freight on his corpse which she had
brought to the vessel for shipment.
My husband had a free pass on the
State of Washington when he was
alive" she said to the official, "and
no one is going to prevent him travel
ing on it when he is dead, poor fell
low" The purser objected, but wired
to headquarters for instructions.
When he re&d the reply telegram:
Let the corpse travel free and collect
pass" the widow heaved a sigh Of
satisfaction and said she knew she
would win.

DIARY OF GEN. HITCHCOCK
Way of Winning Confidence of lndi-
ans-How Wandering Woman
Was Restored to Tribe.

Giving to the white man the dubious
honor of teaching the Indians the hor-
rible practise of scalping, the editor
of the diary of Mai Gen Ethan Allen
Hitchcock, United States army, takes
the reader over the early history OF
the ancestors of the subject of the vol
ume, says the Army and Navy Jour
nal. In the years just preceding the
Revolution we are told, here, 'the
tomahawk never got rusty in the will
derness and the governor of New
Hampshire never ceased to pay a
bounty for the scalps of Indians and
Frenchmen.
Indeed, so natural and legitimate
was this singular industry rewarded
that an amendment was added to the
Dill Offering a premium for the heads
OF wolves and panthers, so as to In
clude the 'enemy's scalps. Scalping
seems to have been the invention OF
the white men, who taught the Indi'
ans to scalp, that they might keep
tally of their dead. and thus be emit
tied to their bounty" In Buckles
History of Civilization" volume /,
can be found this: Among the ex-
penses of the war that the government
laid before parliament one of the
items was for five gross of scalping
knives"
General Hitchcock, though unusual
ly firm, was singularly winning and
gentle in his dealings with the Indians

lating what would have been the his
tory of our western frontier if he had
been sent to settle all disputes. Pa
tience was his predominating note
with the Indians. First he would gain
their confidence and then with this
same confidence and with the same
patience with which he would teach a
wild animal he would wear down their
animosity toward the government
One incident of his life among the
southern Indians shows how the hap

was never beyond his thought and

F" HE month of April will be most
important in the history of Hal
ley's comet, and those who are
interested in astronomy will now watch
the skies with redoubled Interest The
comet was discovered on September
18th last while still 800 millions of
miles from the earth and sun, and
seven months Of the time before it
should swing past the sun at its closest
approach When the comet was picked
up in the photograph Of Max Wolf, it
was so faint that only the largest tele-
scopes in the world could find it, and
il showed not the slightest trace of tail
During the past half year, the comet
has frightened far too slowly to suit
the average reader who has a fresh
wonder served up daily with his morn
ing paper However. during March 1t
had frightened enough to permit 1t to
be seen with a three inch glass, but it
did not have much of a tail. and was
rather disappointing As far as we
know, il has not become bright enough
to be visible with the naked eye, al
though undoubtedly many thought they
saw ii. During April all this will be
changed and the comet will undoubt-
eddy blaze forth in the skies

ject visible only before sunrise. The
comet leaves the line to the sun slowly.
and it will be near the middle of April
before il is far enough to be out OF
the suns glare.
The comet then should readily be
visible to the naked eye and it will
rapidly increase in brightness On
April 20 1t is at perhelion, swinging
along in space at 81 y miles per sec
ond. Following along with the dates 1t
is seen that the comet and earth get
closer and closer, and on May is 1t
passes between US and the sun, moving
now from the right of the sun TO the
left, and becoming again an evening
object Just before and after this date.
in morning and evening skies the comet
should be so brilliant that quarter Of
a century hence, we will fondly tell
our grandchildren of the great comet
of 1910.
The comet in 1859 showed at times a
tail so percent in length, and it was
much brighter than in 1885. But in
the latter year we were unfayorably
situated in the earth's orbit to see the
comet well, and this explains the d.
minution of brightness, which was ap-
parent only and not real
Another glance at the diagram will
show that at the beginning of May the
comet and Venus come very close to-
gether. Venus will then be in the
morning sky almost at her greatest
brilliancy, and the two close together
should prove worth getting out of bed
for.
The position of the comet in the sky
can readily be found from the follow
