By and by the old | chief would discreetly retire to converse with the elders and medicine men on mat- ters pertaining to the welfare of the peo- | ple, and leave the lovers to enjoy €ach other’s company in the manner which lovers so thoroughly understand. And so the days sped by, each succeed- ing day bringing to the gentle Indian maiden and her lover nothing but com- plete happiness and the promise of an alluring future. In earlyspring, when the buds were sprouting on the trees and the | | grass springing up on the hillside, when all nature was donning a new and hand- some garment of green, the rumor gained ncy that Yokayo and his charming eetheart were soon to be wed. Sly in- sinuations to this effect raade to the bash- il girl produced no answer save a slight drooping of the head and a nervous finger- of the bracelet she wore on the left wrist. As for the bridegroom-elect—he would have been boid indeed who durst mention so sacred a subject in his presence. But_the days went by; spring was suc ceeded by summer; the grass grew yel- | low and dry, and no wedding announce- ment was made. The minds of the people were filled with wonder ana vague specu- lation. old women would assemble | and gossip sagely among_themselves as to the cause, but none could assign a definite | eason. And now a strange thing came to pase. | I It was evident that Yolayo’s visits to the | LOVER'S LEAP AS IT APPEARS‘TO-DAY.

He was tall, lithe and powerful, but his chief attraction lay in bis stern, regular features and 'his piercing black eyes. There was only one person that had ever been known to possess the power to soften the rigid cast of those firmly molded lips or the haughty glance of those keen, chal- lenging eyes. It was Wakoonah, the mountain lily. Now, Wakoonah was the daughter.of Ohokah, the chief of the Mo- nowas, and surely she was fair to look upon. Her beautifal face and winning way had brought Yokayo, in common with the rest of the marriageable warriors, to worship at her shrine, and his scemed to be the only homage paid to her that was at all acceptable. There were jealous feelings and aching hearts as a result, it is true, for many were the braves that longed to win Wakoonah's hand, and many u maiden's heart had quickened in her breast when made the re- cipient of some siight attention from the grave and haughty Yokayo. Oid Ohokah was greatly pleased. His only daughter was the pride of his declin- ing years, and now to see her in a fair way to become the bride of the most noted warrior in the tribe, the son of & medicine man at that, and to know that his high office woula descend to one who would worthily perpetuate the glory of his race— these things were as balm for the afflic- tions incident to old age. As the shad=s of evening fell about the village Yokayo was wont to_repair to the wigwam of his chief, and there, while seated in the place of honor, listen to that venerable versonage recount the deeds of the ancestors of their peopie. The voung brave always listened in respectful silence, for it is not meet that vouth should be loquacious in the presence of old age. ‘Wakoonah sat sbyly in & seciuded nook | tepee of his prospective father-in-law were growing less frequent, and that Wakoo- nah’s face was growing thin and careworn. She no longer joined in the dance with the other maidens and her gay and hapF_v manner had ‘changed to the settled calm of sadness. Her hollow eyes and listless mien told more plainly than words that her time was spent in mourning. Some said it was only a lovers’ quarrel and would result in a closer knitting of the bonds that bound their hearts together, but the kunowing ones solemnly shook their heads and hinted that all'was not known. . One glorious night in midsummer, as the full moon was just rising above the mountain tops, bathing the hills and glens in 8 flood of soft, mellow light, Yokayo | stole from his tepee and with a panther- like step took the path that led to the river. There was no sound to break the death-like stiliness of the night save the yelping of a distant coyote. As its short, sharp barks merged into a mournful howl and gradually died away, leavinfi absolutely mno ~sound to disturb the silence of the nignt, a premonition of evil caused the Indian to lay bis hand on the knife in his belt and glance quickly around. There was no liv- ing being in sight. Reassured, he walked quickly on. 5 But his departure was not mnobserved. The eyes of love are keen. Behind him stole the muffled form of a woman. Light was her step as the step of the wildcat stealing upon her prey. The brave went on his way with no thought of the Nemesis on his trail. Now be came to where the path leads down the mountain to the river. In the light of the moon it appeared to bs a long silver rib- bon stretched throughout the valley. But Yokayo’s thoughts were not on the beauty of the scenery. Leave that to him whose mind is not enthralled by love. Soon he came to where the water rushes between | | Perhaps a latent spa | to his feet. | White man ever to sound. huge bowlders, and, leaping from rock to rock, was s0on on the western bank of the river and making his way up the opposite hill. Not far behind came that muffled figure, tracking his footsteps with a dogged rsistence that brooded ill to the cause of her sorrow. Climbing to the crest of the hill the brave vpaused for breath. The bright moonlight revealed his stqlwart form in all its magnificent proportions as he stood erect and gazed down at the brightly burn- ing campfires of an allied tribe. Ab- sorbed in his own reflections he failed to hear the faint sob that came jrom a thicket a few rods away. Itwas the in- voluntary ery of a broken heart. Oh, that his ears had been keener! But the Great Spirit willed it wise. Suddenly Yokayo drew a long breath and started along the hill with a quick, eager step. Kntering a leafy glade he seated bimself on the trunk of a fallen oak and gave vent to a low, warbling whoistle. It was answered from the | distance, and immediately there came stealing toward the glade the dusky form of an Indian maiden. He sprang to| his feet and ovened his arms to greet | her.

PERKINS, | | | A Physician Tells How the Allment | | | May Be Prevented. A great number of people who can never cross the ocean without being prostrated by sea-sickness have come to look upon | every reported cure for that <distressing | malady asadelusion and a snare. Whether the latest remedy, or rather preventive, is | more efficacious than the rest remains | to be proved. Dr. A. D. Rockwell says it | is. He asserts that the reason so little | attention has been paid to se kness, es- pecially by those not subject to it, is that there was a fallacious idea that to be sea- sick did a person good, that it cleared out the eystem, and, therefore, nature should be allowed to take its course. Dr. Rock- well holds that there is neither advantage in nor need of the ailment. It must be prevented, and the battle of prevention must be fought on land before sailing. For three days before the voyage doses of bro- mide of sodium must be taken—in prefer- ence to bromide of potassium—and this course must be continued for three or four days after sailing. One pleasant effect of this bromization is the sound and refresh- ing nature of the sleep itinduces. The dose recommended by Dr. Rockwell is thirty grains of bromide of sodium three times a day for three days before ‘the voyage and for three or four days after starting. He has invariably found this treatment an absolute vreventive, and has crossed the English Channel on a very rough voyage without the slightest dis- comfort from the motion of the ship. In a paper on this subject before a medical society Dr. Rockwell tells of a man who was in the habit of crossing the ocean two or three times a yvear on business, and who dreaded the recurring trips on account of sea-sickness. After he had tried the bro- mide treatment he wrote to say that for the first time in his experience he had crossed without discomfort. Dr. Rockwell. states that he has never found any evil effects from the use of the bromide of sodium taken for the prevention of sea-sickness.— Bt. Louis Globe-Democrat. - — The Value He Placed on His Scalp. Some strange and peculiar claims are sometimes submitted to Congress, but about the queerest claim was one intro- duced by Senator Plumb of Kansas, late in the’70’s or early in 1880. It was for $5000 damages sustained by a man who had lost his scalp at the hands of hostile Indians. Theclaim was based on the plea that the Indians were the wards of the Government, and the Government was responsible for their acts. The Govern- ment’s wards had taken his scalp, and he considered a warrant for $5000 the only effective poultice for his wounded feelings. Of course the bill was never acted on. It was thrown out, because it wonld have opened an account with the Government for every man who had ever suffered damages at the hands of the redskins,.— Washington Post. . son’s shapes, but were sold as_high as $15 apiece.

Proceedings commenced shortly after 10 o’clock. Captain Healy was looking a lit- tle bored, as well he might, since he had been informed that the maritime custom- house dress parade would probfib[s“ last at least three weeks longer. The witnesses were not allowed to hear each other’s testi- mony, being introduced one by one into the judicial chamber, which was guarded by a formidabie ira&liivgdusl ?!andnhm‘ a et more formidable bayonet. A Captain Tozier of the United States Rev- enue cutter Grant requested that his testi- mony of ihe preceding day be read over to him by the stenographic reporter, which being done, he corrected some few inaccu- racies which had crept into the transcript, and was allowed to depart in peace. Second Lieutenant Berry of the same vessel was then placed on the stand. He gave a lurid word-picture of the veteran captain’s gay demeanour on the memor- able night in September when he was be- uiled into accepting an offer of hospitality fr\)m the commander of the British gun- boat Pheasant. The witness further stated that Captain Healy had been drunk on several other occasions to his personal knowledge. b ;Am you sure he was drunk?” was asked. *‘He looked drunk,’”” was the response. "tl}ut was he drunk?"’ the _ql::lhon came with peculiarly incisive persistency. g “Hgacted dnlmk,t" rei?):nod the witness n evident perplexity. 4 ‘‘Ah,” wfs the suZu rejoinder. “Then what you meant to say, being under oath, was that the captain locked and acted as ithgugh he might be 6umewvl’:¢t under the nfluence of epirits. Go on. The lieutex?nnt then proceeded to state that one evening the captain walked off the wharf at Unalaska. 2 “Now tell us, lieutenant” (the voice was singularly genial and even silvery in tone), ‘‘did the captain really mean to walk off the wharf? For, if he did, he would be guilty of attempted suicide.” ‘“How do I know whether he mesnt to | drews, in of his subordinates were favored with that mark of predilection. Lieutenant Reynolds makes a very good prosecuting ofticer. Though all the testi- mony thus ar recived has been given by Wwitnesses for the prosecution, he has given the accused all the privileges which the law allows bim, treating him invariabiy with every courtesy and consideration. It is believed that even should the old cap- tain be found guilty his punishment will not exceed a transfer, or perhaps a simple reprimand,while hopesare entertained that the charges against him will be dismissed altogether. In fact a dainty stripling in a gorgeous uniform was heard to remark at the close of yesterday’'s proceedings that “it looked as though the game wouldn’t be worth the candle.” — Fortunes in the Cripple Creek Mines. On the western slope of Pikes Peak, about twenty miles away in a direct line, lies Cripple Creek, now the leading gold mining camp of Colorado. It is not to be mentioned as a health resort, a&s it is 9500 feet hieh and much exposed; nor should the invalid even visit it without his physician’s consent. But it is an inter- esting place for a robust man. Its mines, which for so long were looked upon as not ely to amount to much, really do amount to 4 good deal, as any one who cares for statistics may learn by consulting a mining broker. Lying, as it does, within the limits of El Paso County, it hasthrown ‘| much business into Colorado Springs, the county seat. Some people, far and near, have made money out of these mines, One, a carpenter, who used to work in the Springs for $3 a day, now owns the whole Independence mine, and draws from 000 to $100,000 from it each month. uring the first four months of 1895 Iis income from various mining proper- ties was $600,000. As an offset to this man’s luck it should be said that many persons, visitors in Colorado, as well ag permanent residents, have invested much money in mines which they could not well afford to lose.—From ‘‘The Neo-Republican Ascendency,” by President E. ,Benj.

Rooms in the Mercantile Library build- ing nave been secured, and with the dues of §5 for associate and $10 for active mem- bersa membership in the Mercantile Li- brary for one year will be purehased. This will cost $3, and will give the member of the Teachers’ Club full privileges in the library as well as in the club. Meetings will be held at stated intervals and classes in the various branches of education will be established. Leetures by professors in the public schools and in the universities upon special subjects will be ‘arranged for as the demaud warrants. So far the fol- lowing have been placed on the proe gramme: French, Spanish, Latin, physics and chemistry (with laboratory work), five distinct courses in Englishrfitenture, in- cluding Shakespeare, nineteenth century essayists and recent fiction; original de- monstrative s_eomezxy. three courses in history, including American instituti s, based on volume I of Bryce’s “American Commonwealth,” and eight courses in education, including child-study, educa- tional psychology, herbartianism, manual training ~ (with Iaborator: work) and normal music. Other classes will be formed if desired. Classes will be led by the best teachers obtainable and will start about February 1. As far as practicable each class will have the selection of its own teacher and, ex- cept in courses using school laboratories, of place of meeting. he directors nflo announce that Pro- fessor Thomas P. Bailey Jr. will give a course of eight lectures on ‘‘Foundations of Pedagogical Method'’ during February and March. Professor K. E. Brown and Professor G. H. Howison of the University of California have also promised to address the club this season, and other prominent lecturers may be expected. The membership is divided into three classes, active, associate and honorary. Active members must be actual teachers in public schools in Ban Francisco, and their number is, at present, limited to forty. To them belongs the right of vot- ing and holding office.

It was at first supposed that the plate was a duplicate of the one placed on the Senator’s casket, but the engraver who lettered the plate has no recollection that the order was duplicated. The undertaker was under the impression that a mis- take was made in spelling the name, and that a second plate was engraves, the one containing the error being cast aside.

She said that she had been ill for some time and was_suffering from im- aired vision. Mrs. Morrissey was greatly gismrbed over the findlni of the coffin plate and said she trusted the Saratoga officers wonld investigate. She could not remember whether the name Morrissey was spelled on her husband’s eoffin plate with one “s'’ or two, but she said the roper manner was Wwith two ‘‘s's.”’ owever, Mrs. Morrissey said that had the engraver of the plate made a mistake in the number of the let. ter ‘s’ used it was not likely that a new plate was made, as the name was frequently sfielleg as engraved on the plate. Mrs. Morrissey said that no jewels were buried with the boay. The last time she visited the grave, in St. Peter's Ceme- tery, was about three years ago. She had not been accustomed to 50 to the ceme- tery, as her husband had requested that she remain away. from the grave. Mr. Morrissey ‘also made a similar request after the death of a son.
