 Osages in '63.

Montgomery City, Mo.-Through a mere incident it develops that Col Warner Lewis, prominent attorney of this city, father of Robert Lewis, Republican candidate for governor in 1896, is the erstwhile unknown" con federate soldier who escaped the bloody conflict with the Osage Indi- ans in 1863. In that fight 16 com rades were killed, scalped and their heads cut off.
 There were only IS in the company and it was thought that all were killed, but there were two survivors, Colonel Lewis and John Lafferty, who met death shortly after his escape.
 Colonel Lewis gives the following account of the battle:

The wife only knew he had come to America She brought her mcther-in-law and her two children to America While working for Mrs. Lehman, her children having been placed in charitable institution, Del ka would go from hospital to hospital to inquire about Ivan, believing that was the best way to trace him.

who comes out with the statement that notwithstanding his activity on the gridiron, the diamond and in the gymnasium, he lives on IA cents a day!
 The young physical giant stand six feet in his socks and weighs 195 pounds. His program is even more simple than the regime pursued by the beautiful countess of Warwick less pretentious than the daily fare of the average laborer's family.
 Of the many unique opponents of simplicity in diet, these two examples stand out conspicuously-the case of the Harvard strong man because it shows that it is possible not only to exist on a frugal bill of fare, but to achieve various feats of physical prow- ess ,and that of the wealthy countess because it shows that such a diet is sometimes followed not from necessity or economy, but from choice.
 MT. Long, who comes from central Illinois, is twentythree years old, and for the past 12 years has had to fight his own way in the world. Notwith- standing that he started without a penny to his name, he was able to work his way through the University of Illinois, where he achieved fame as fullback on the football team, and has spent three years at Harvard, where he played fullback and halfback on the team last fall and is pitcher on this years baseball squad. Throughout his whole college career, MT. Long has subsisted on his simplified form of diet, and with the money he was thus able to put by, he has availed himself of his summer vacations to travel all oIer the world.
 The countess of Warwick, who is we'll and favorably known to Ameri- cans, made thorough course of die tetics some years ago, when she was threatened with obesity. As the re- suit of her Investigations she became a "rawfooder," and though she has long since accomplished her original object and regained her former grace full lines she has kept to the meat. less regimen, and is raising her chil. dren on it.

For Two Years Delka Romanoff, of Polish Nobility, Worked for
 Brooklyn Citizen.

New York.-At least ore American citizen can boast of having had a bona fide countess as a servant He is a wealthy Brooklyn manufacturer, M. l.. Lehman, of No. 55 Park place. The servant, who has left them to go back to Russia, was the Countess Delka Romanoff, the wife of Count Ivan Romanoff, one of the nobility Of Russian Poland.
 Nearly two years ago Mrs. Lehman. in making the rounds of the various employment agencies, saw a young woman who looked particularly intel ligent. The young woman said she was Delka Romanoff and was hired. Mrs. Lehman and her family regarded Delka as the best servant they ever had Her wages were raised three times.
 A little more than two years ago her husband, Count Ivan, who had a large estate, became embroiled in a political quarrel, and he was eXiled and his lands confiscared. He was afraid to communicate with his wife fer fear his mail would be tempered

Rickshazu Was Yankee Zdea

Horses were scarce and of indiffer- ent quality, the bicycle had hardly made it's appearance in the far east, so practically the only means of get ting about the country away from the main line of the railway between To- kyo and Hiogo was in the modified perambulator which is known all over the world as the rickshaw.
 There are a number of versions of it's invention and to whom credit should be given for it. The Japanese themselves claim it for paralytic old gentleman of kyoto, who some time before 1868, finding his palanquin un- comfortable. took to little cart in- stead, The usual foreign account adopted by MT. Black, the author of Young Japan" is that an American named Goble, half cobbler and half missionary, was the person to suggest the idea of a glorified go-cart some where about 1867.
 The first official application to be allowed to manufacture rickshaws was, however, made in 1870. They were soon being turned out in hun dreds and thousands, for the middle class Japanese found it a cheap and comfortable way of travelling long or short distances and there was an in- exhaustible supply of men eager to turn themselves into beasts of burden in order to earn the high wages which the employment brought them. Curt ously enough, though elsewhere the thing is called a rickshaw, in Japan it generally goes by the name of jim Tiki.
 Both are abbreviations of the real word, which is jin-riki-sha, meaning literally man power vehicle;" that is, cart pulled by man. Sometimes you hear kuruma used as an equiva- lent and that is Japaning of the Chine.e syllable sha.

just told a few friends of my remark able experience and escape, but it has not reached the public until now nearly a half century after.
 "The story comes to the surface through a magazine article published in Oklahoma, which it seems is gath cred from some Indians who have heard of the massacre This maga- zine story, telling of the death of these confederates, says:
 Down on the sandbar in the Osage country in a space of some four rods square, were found the al most nude bodies of the dead con federates. Their heads, besides be- ing scalped, had been, according to the Osage custom, severed from their bodies. Afterward their heads were all collected, some being at a con siderable distance from their remains, and, being placed with their bodies, they were all buried
 Leading from these dead bodies were the foottracks of two men walk ing side by side and close together. as if one might have been supporting the other. It is probable that these two men were shot while in the wa ter attempting to cross a stream near by and it is also probable that they made good their escape"
 You see, this magazine writer comes pretty near guessing correctly when he says that it is possible that two of this fatal company made their escape. Myself and John Lafferty were the lucky ones, but Lafferty was killed before the war closed"

Ocean Graveyard Gone.

Halifax, N. S.-The passing as an ocean graveyard" of Sable island, scene of innumerable shipwrecks, is brought to mind by the breaking up for junk of the last vessel wrecked there. The steamer Skidby, a 2,000- ton freighter, met it's fate on January 6, 1904. Since that time no vessel has been wrecked on the treacherous rib of sand forming the island coast, which previously had taken a toll of more than 250 vessels and many more than that number of lives. Wireless telegraphy, more numerous and i'm provised lighthouses and corrected charts have robbed this quondam "ocean graveyard of its terrors for the mariner

Retiring Couple Experience Variety of Sensations Before Discover

Darby, Pa.-A large stray cat of the masculine gender and with voice like a lost soul caused several kinds of ex- citement and diversion in the resi- dence of Edwin Smith of North Sixth street, Darby, the other night. which for a time baftled an explanation.
 In the afternoon. while one of the bedroom windows was open. the cat entered the house and finally lodged itself comfortably between the springs and the mattress of the main bed and fell asleep.
 Shortly after II o'clock MT. and Mrs. Smith retired. and. after getting in bed, were aroused by hearing a ter rife shriek, seemingly beneath them. At first it was thought that burglars were in the house, but finally. turn irg up the mattress, Smith detected the big gray cat, which, finding the weighx of the spring lifted. lost no time in making its escape.

Cotton in Oklahoma.

A man who used to live in Indiana but is now in Oklahoma, writes; Got ton is now being cultivated in eastern Oklahoma by modern methods, brought about by the northerner bring ing his modern farming implements with him when he moved to Oklaho- ma. The southern cotton planter quickly took advantage of the better methods of handling his crop, and now, instead of a nigger and mule jgging along with a double shovel blow, the planter uses a riding blow, disks and riding cultivators and up-to- date seeders. The result is that Okla homas last years cotton crop was valued at more than $50,000,000."

 However, this did not seem to mat ter to the strangely formed Peggy, for she tumbled over her brothers and sisters as actively as any of the rest and piped defiance at every stranger among the many who came to see this feathered wonder.
 But the fame of the four-legger had scarcely been sounded when Mrs. Jo- seph Warbis, who lives just across the street from the Scotts, announced the arrival of cat minus a tail at her home.
 Instantly attention became attracted across the street
 Interested neighbors from near and far besides many strangers, took trips to Cairo street to the freak arrivals.
 The tailless kitten, Rhodamanthus by name, a tiny black ball of fur spotted with white, had assuredly maintained the reputation of Cairo street Not a sign of tail was ap- parent. Even the bobtail of the mother was missing on the son.

 Thomson said there was no form of crystal, snowflake or any geometrical conception which he could not produce with a combination of two or more of his four units.
 Scientific men who witnessed his demonstration admitted that he had achieved prodigious mechanical feats. With his block models he constructed a variety of designs, including the spiral forms appearing in vegetation.
