HOLE IN INDIAN'S COFFIN SO SPIRIT CAN GET OUT By the Associated Press. Wa-Shep-Ka-Sap ls (Little Black- bird), whose white name was John Hamilton, was buried recently in a cemetery near Arkansas City, Kans., Jjust as he had wished. He had con. siderable property, and this he left in a particular and binding will. John belonged to the Catholic Church, but he had all the Indian's superstition about the life after death. He be- lieved that unless a hole was left in his coffin the spirit could not escape. His will provided that his property should go to his children if they buried him exactly as he desired. From a coffin establishment in Kansas City he ordered an elaborately chased steel box. In the top of this box there was drilled a hole, from which a pipe ex- tension would reach to the top of the ground. WHERE KITCHENER DIED. Coast of Orkneys Has History Dat- ing Far Back. From the New York Times. Little has been told of the coast off which the Hampshire sank, with Lord Kitchener on board, nine vears ago. Along the west of the mainland —the name given to the largest island is Orkney—it was making northward on that fatal June afternoon. The ex plosion occurred three miles off Mar-. wick Head, a rocky stretch rising some 300 feet sheer, with the sea washing up under the cliffs. Lately this coast has become a place of pllgrimage, and visitors are surprised to find that Birsay entered {into history long before the wreck of {the Hampshire.

Within, jealously guarded, very rickety and falling to pieces, is an ancient oak armchair, which is said to have come from the old palace. Over the main archway there was once a sonorous inscription—"Dominus Robertus Stuartus, filius Jacobi Quinti, Rex Scotorum.” Was it a mere slip in grammar? Who can say? Anyhow. “rex” instead of ‘regis”™ had most unlooked-for consequences, for it was made part of an accusation of high treason brought against the earl's son, Patrick, the lawers seeing in it a claim to the crown of Scotland. Patrick was executed, though it should be added his many crimes both in Orkney and Shetland made his execution a certainty, apart from this particular charge. Next. From the Chicago News.
