Discussing the suppression of news, the Holton, Kansas, Signal saye: “People who ask to have suppressed news which gets into court make a mistake, because everybody hears about it in time, and the gossips are kept busy for months. If the news of a suit in court or any other trans- action of public record {fe printed in @ straightforward manner, the ele- ment of secrecy {s eliminated, and the people lose interest almost imme- diately. A lady who lately sued for divorce called at the Signal office and sald to the editor: ‘Please publish an item about this unpleasant mat- ser, 80 that people will quit talking aboutit.’ That woman had thepub- lic sized up correctly. She knew how to top the gossip—eliminate the ‘mystery.’ People won’t devote much time to plain facts. The thing they like to chew over is ‘mystery.’ ” Incapable of Attending to Affairs Wa. Wilson, one of Vernon coun- ty’s wealthy citizens, who lives at Arthur, was tried for his sanity be- fore a jury in Probate Judge Meyer’s court Thursday.

It ts not so much the stze of the rock as its strange position that at- tracts the notice of the passer-by, It seems almost as though it was placed there through the agency of human hands, standing, as {t does, on the sum- mit of a small knoll, with @ number of snmller stones placed under it In such a careful manner as to cleverly bal- ance it. Could man have had the power to do {t, it could not have been done more effectively. Connected with this stone ts a leg- end of the early settlers, whteh I will endeavor to relate, it having been handed down from generation to gen- eration among the residents of the mountain region. Among the first settlers of Conway was a man by the name of Reuben Whita His cabin stood upon the high bank overlooking the fertile region that lies along the Saco, where he had made quite a clearing and got the most of it into a good state of cultt- vation. He had deen subjected to the usual drawbacks inekient to the set- tlers of that region, but thus far had triumphed over them all. The wild beasts had given fim mach trouble, and the eavages, when they came sometimes from the wilderness IT WAS HIS ONLY CHANCE beyond the Notch, threatened him and his with destruction. x One day, early {n October, the set- tler took his rifle and started out for a tramp in the forest in eearch of game. He turned his face up the valley, and striking the river something iike 4 mile above, he followed it until he nearly reached a point where the bluffs came down on either side almost to the water's edge. Thus far he haf {ll luck, for no game of larger size than a rabbit had crossed his path. } It was now past noon, and he began to feel as though a hearty meal would do him good. So he shot the next rab- bit that crossed his path, and, palling off its skin, soon had it ready for cooking. Close wp to the base of the cliff he built a fire, and in a little time the rabbit was roasting above it. So imtent was he with his work that he saw nothing of a coaple of savages, who for several minutes past had been watching his operations. If he had done eo, he would have been on his guard, and not allowed his rifle to remain where he had left ft, leaning against the cliff a good dozen feet away. Mindful only of the meal he was preparing, he saw not how the savages, keeping well under cover, were each moment drawing nearer and nearer to him. Stooping over the fire, end just in the act of removing the nicely browned roast therefrom, he was startled by a hand being laid upon his shoulder, while a voice exclaimed in his ear: “The paleface is a prisoner. If he fom he proceeded to Ding Reuben'e arms behind htm tn such a manner that he would be powerless to use them There wes nothing he could do Dut submit To resist would only be to lose his lif at onc Seeing their prisoner secure, the savages fe!l to and devoured the nice- ly roasted rabbit. without so much as Iving him a taste. This done, they signified to him that he wes to go with them. He thought of those at home, and of the danger to which they would Be exposed, but there was no help for it. He must go with them or die. He was powerless now to help him- self. There was but one way, and that was Ww bide his tlme, and if the opportunity occurred to make his es- cape. All that afternoon they kept on up the valley, with every step the settler put between himself and his cabin, bis heart scemed to sink sill lower in his breast. Night came at last. and a thick gloom filled the valley. But still the sav- ages kept on. The’ way was fam!llar to them, for {t was along the trail their race had used for centuries on tholr way through the Notch. The night deepened, and with it came acry that thrilled them all each time it was repeated. The hordes of flerre wolves were gathering upon their trafl from out the dark ravines on either side, The Indians and thelr captive has- tened onward, but the erles of the wolves came nearer and nearer, while each moment added to the volume of the cry. They must seek a place of safety so00n or the bloodthirsty brutes would be upon them. The savages were aware of this, and also that a place of refuge was close at hand. The rock of which we have spoken towered before them, Reuben kuew it et @ glanca, for he had seen it se al times when on his hunting trips tn the forest. Once upon it he knew that they would be out of the way of the wolves, But how were they to get there? This question was soon solved. With the aid of their tomahawks a notched stick was hastily prepared, and, leaning this agatnst the rock, one of the savages hastlly clambered thereon, Then Reuben was told to do the same. He made the attempt, but it was soon evident that he couki not get up without the ald of his hands. Convinced of this, the savages has- tily unbound them, and he scrambled up. The other savage followed close be- hind him, and not a moment too soon. The foremost wolf sprang at his legs as he drew them up Casting the stick down e@mong them, they felt themselves safe. springing up against {ts sides, only to fall back again in impotent raga Reuben threw himself down upon the summit, apparently without hope or thought of escape. Of course there was no chance then, and the savages seemed to know it. At least they did not again bind his hands, as he had feared they would do, The minutes went on, and below them the wolves snarled and gnashed their teeth fn impotent rage. Suddenly an idoa presented Itself to Reuben—a thought that seemed to give htm a promise of escape It might not succeed, bot if it fatled his situation could hardly be worse. He watched hts opportunity, and summoned all the strength he had for the attempt he was to make. It was his only chance, and a (esperate oue at that. Selecting the momert when the gaze of both the savages was turned from him, he suddenly sprang upon the nearest, and gave him a blow and a push. Taken by surprise, {t was im- possible for the savage to resist the impetus given him, and, with a wild ery, he went down over the rock into the midst of the bloodthirsty creatures below. Quick as thought, Reuben turned upon the remaining savage, who stood as though confownded by the fate of his comrade, and gave him a vigorous blow. With a cry that almost drowned the snarling of the wolves, he also went down among them to add to their horrid feast. Thankful for his escape. Reuben re- mained upon the rock till daylight sent the wolves back to their dens, when he descended and reached home in safety.—N. ¥. Weekly. Coast-Lines and Character. * In an address delivered before the Section of Anthropology of the Amer can Association for the Advancement of Science, Mr. E. L’ Blackshear main- tains the proposition that the scarcity of islands, peninsulas and bays along most of the coast-line of continental Africa has indirectly exerted a profonnd influence on the character of the inhab- itants of Africa. by isolating them from all the great world movements of his- tory. Deprived of the stimulus of com- mercial and maritime influences, they have remained stationary aud dormant with regard to the organic life of the hu- man species, These characteristics, Mr. Blackshear thinks, have not yet been bred out of most of the descendants of African natives transported to this country in slavery days.—Youth’s Com- panion. = Thought It Empty.
