Leeds Pottery.

Leeds is probably the most cos.
mopolitan center of industry in all
England, that of pottery being the
most ancient This industry rose to
some eminence at one period, both
in regard to domestic and ornamen-
tai ware of the white filigree order,
but now the only branch which re-
mains is that of artistic maiolica, in
which we find real works of art in
the choicest of designs and color
ing. Such productions, worthy of
special note, are the flower vases
and pedestals for the same, small
vases and other ornaments, and it is
doubtful if either the Moors, who
founded this industry, or the Ital-
fans, who developed it, produced
anything superior to the modern
pottery from Leeds.-Consular Re-

While this perhaps has nothing to
do with current literature, we jot it
down because it impressed US as be-

it illustrates as well as any story
that we have ever heard the pecul-
iar quality of Italian humor. Fa-
solacci is youth of much elegance
and little discretion. He has been
spending right and left, and one
day he finds himself unable to pay
his hotel bill. Owing to the avarice
Of his father, he appeals to his
uncle:
"Dear Uncle-If you could see
my shame while write you would
pity me. Do You know why? Be-
cause l have to ask you for 100

happen to stop him OF that this let

If women are to have the rights

Pond used to live in Poughkeepsie,

and on April 26 preceding the date

Mr.. Pond left Spokane on June 10,

there week later. Miss Kelley asked
to have the wedding postponed, and,
Pond consenting, it was put OF until
October of last year. He went back to-
Spokane and In July received a letter
from Miss Kelley telling him the en-.

be no wedding.
After thinking the matter over for

They Return TO Oregon After Forty
Years. ImprIsonment.

They Return TO Oregon After Forty
Years. imprisonment.
| The Modoc Indians in Oklahoma are
going home-not to the lava beds in
California, whence they were taken to
the Quapaw Indian reservation nearly
forty years ago, but to the klamath
reservation OF the Modocs In Oregon,
where they will get land in exchange
for their allotments In Oklahoma, the
Kansas City Times says.
The Modocs have been homesick ever
since they went to Oklahoma, and their
return to the Northwest is the result
of their constant appeal to the author
tiles at Washington.
( The removal Of the Modocs to Okla.
homa followed their defeat after their
bloody campaign against government
troops in the lava beds, where they
were commanded by Capt. Jack. They
assassinated and butchered all except
two of the peace commission sent to
them by the Secretary of War.
When the Modocs reached Oklahoma
there were thirty-nine men, fifty-four
women and sixty children, many OF
whom were sorely wounded. Among
them were such notable leaders as
Scarfaced Charley, Steamboat Frank
and Shacknasty Jim. Age and disease
have cut down the Modocs until only
sixty remain. Nearly all their old
leaders have died.
In going to the klamath country.
from which they fed when they en-
tered the lava beds in California, these
Modocs will be among the Klamath
Modocs, whom they thoroughly hate
and despise because of the arrogance
of the Klamath band.
The Oklahoma Modocs we're moved
from California to Oregon, only to
have their Oregon kinsmen say to
them: 10
you can stay here, but It IL our
country. Your horses can eat the
grass, but it is our grass. You can
catch fish, but they are our fish"
This was more than Capt. Jack and
his people could bear and they stole
away and returned to their old haunts
in California. When the Federal gov
"a II AOO w hiahU lhCAn 81 bASh
to Oregon the Modocs began fighting
and sought refuge in the inaccessible
lava beds.
A commission was sent to treat with
them. The commission established It's
camp about two miles from the retreat
of the Modocs, in the lava beds, and
midway was pitched tent at which
the council should be held,
No sooner had the commissioners as.
sembled in the tent than they found
that death was at hand. Capt Jack
suddenly shot Gen. Candy, adviser of
the commissioners. Rev. Ebenezer
Thomas, a commissioner, also was
slain and his body robbed and mutt
lated. Two of the commissioners es-
capped.
The United States government then
put large body of troops In the field,
and the Modocs were pursued night
and day until they surrendered, Oct.
Q, 1878. Capt. Jack, Black Jim. Bos-
ton Charley and Schronchin Jim were
hanged at Fort klamath, Ore, for the
murder of Candy and Thomas. Soon
afterward the California Modocs were
taken to Indian Territory.
