a Happy Marriage.
One of the unique characters of the
state m Marcos Mute, the veteran Qua-
Iter artist of Richiuoiid. Be is now 78
years of Age and is very f coble. His
memory of things that happened in his
youth and prime is keen and true, but
the events of the day pass as the sain-
mor clouds. It was he who first defied
the Quaker antipathy to art iu oil and
brash, and he secured the petition which
ranged the legislature to provide that
the public schools of Indiana should
c tench drawing. The petition veaa pre
sented by Senator Baxter, since de
ceased. Two years previously the Qua
ker artist had secured the teaching of
drawing iu the publio schools of Rich
niond by ordinance.
'. Marcus Mote's talent was born with
him. It is said of him that when only
years old his mother came home
from meeting one day and found him
scratching a rude picture on the foot
board of the bedstead with piece of
"charcoal The Quakers held that paint
ing was of the devil and savored of
idolatry. The boy was rebnked, with a
remark, "I do believe this mischief
was born in thee. "
- There was no relenting as the lad
grew .up and the propensity to draw
and paint developed. He was forbidden
to indulge his talent, but he could not
be repressed. It is evident that bod he
met with encouragement and aid, in
stead of rebuke, fame and fortune would
have crowned the artist with their rich
est laurels. 1 As 'it was Marcus had to
take to the woods for his colors. The
primaries he derived from red root, or
from red ink, the yellows from yellow
root, and for blue be was obliged to con
' tent himself with bluing from his moth'
er s washing tub.
"The only stealing I have ever done, "
he said to a Journal reporter, "was in
taking bluing from my mother's bluing
bag. For brushes I used the hair in the
squirrel's tail, and I used to accompany
my father when hunting so as to get the
tails for my painting. At first all my
work was done with the pen. When I
secured my first box of water colors I
worked as late at night as I could and
tiien spent the rest of the night awake
picturing what I would da -
As the boy grew to manhood he be
came more assertive of bis art and per
sisted in painting landscape and par
traits in spite of the grumbling of mem-
berg of the meeting. He lived then in
Warren county, O., and attended quar
terly meeting at Waynesville. He was
chosen clerk of the meeting at one time.
which led to the protest against his
work rising to the surface. He would
have been disowned had not Thomas
Evans, father of the well known oil mil
lers of this city, used his influence to
. prevent it - . . . -. ,
Marcus Mote lived in Lebanon, O.,
for many years and personally knew the
great Tom Corwin, whose portrait he
painted for the state of Ohio. It hangs
in the statehouse at Columbus, marked
"By an unknown artist " In speaking
of this painting the artist said :
"My daughter happened to be in Co
lumbus and went to the statehouse. She
discovered the inscription. Corwin came
' to. me one day when" he was at home
from edbgress and said that the fellows
down at Washington seemed to think
that nobody in Ohio could do anything,
and that 'he had refused to sit for a por
trait for an artist there for that reason.
He wanted the work done at home. He
sat for the portrait a number of times,
and I became well acquainted with him.
"Ho had a daughter, Eva, who was
his great pride, and, together with her
mother, be was very ambitious for her.
There Wag a young man then teaching
in Warren county who was poor in pock
et, but had a strong will, a clean
heart and first class ability. He was
modest, however, and his ability wa
not known. He showed Eva Corwin so
much attention that her father finally
forbade her seeing the young man,' and
the girl was seriously affected by the
breaking up of the friendship. She was
kept closely at home in her father's
suburban residence, and her friends no
ticed that her health was beginning to
be affected. She had a friend named
Jennie Hardy, since Drake, who had the
confidence of Eva's parents, and one
day I met Jennie and asked her to bring
Eva to my studio on tho next day at 1
o'clock sharp.
"What for?' she asked. - "
" 'Never thee mind,' I said, 'but do
as I tell thee. Now, I want thee to
promise me that thee will. Will thee?'
"She said Bhe would. Pretty soon I
met the young man and I said that I
wanted him to come to my studio on
the next day within two or three min
utes after 1 o'clock sharp.
" 'What for?' be asked.
'"Never thee mind,' I said. 'Now, I
want thee to give me thy hand, prom
ising that thee will be there just as I
. said.'
"He gave me his hand. The next day
at 1 there was a knock at my door, and
there were Jennie and Eva. Jennie leit
Eva with me. As I closed the door she
said:
' 'What does this mean?'
" 'I want to see thee,' I said. 'Take
a chair. '
"It was only a minute or two that
there was another knock, and I opened
the door. The young man was there,
and I brought him in, saying to Eva,
'This is George R. Sage. Now you are
my prisoners for one hour. I want tbee
aud George to be together for awhile.
At the end of tho hour I will call fur
yon and let you out ' Now that was the
way in which, those two young people
" planned to get married. George R. Sage
justified my faith in bis high character.

DO FISHES TALK I
Bar
Is Testimony Prom a
Thinks The Do.
We have beard of the language of
monkeys, and of the language of hens,
and of the language of crows, aud even
of ants, but it will be a new idea to
most people, probably, that fishes bave
a language of their own. An English
fisherman, Mr. Basil Field, has been
making some investigations that lead
him to suppose that fishes have some
way of communicating a notion of their
experienoM to other fishes.
Mr. Field carried on his experiments
in the fishponds of Mr. Andrew, at
Guilford, England. Those ponds are full
of trout, which, at the time when Mr.
Field first visited them, were so little
accustomed to being troubled that when
he threw a baited hook into the water
all the trout in sight a great number
rushed eagerly upon it He caught
one, and removing it from the hook,
threw it back into the pond.
Then he put in a freshly baited hook,
and only two or three trout came after
it One of these he caught and threw
back into the water. Again he resumed
his fishing with a newly baited hook,
and this time, although the pond was
swarming with fish, it was only after a
long time that he lured another trout to
his bait And after a little further
time it was entirely impossible to catch
a trout in this pond.
However, by experimenting in anoth
er pond equally well stocked and not
throwing back any fish Mr. Field found
that he could catch trout as long as he
chose. The fish did not seem to under
stand that the removal of one of their
number by this strange means meant
danger to them, but came continually
to the bait -.-.
If, Mr. Field reasons, it is only when
the captured fish, released, goes back
and mingles with his follows that the
danger is learned, and then is learned
instantly, it must follow that the re
leased fish has some means of making
the others understand the perils of the
hook. This, whatever it is, may be
called a "language." Fortnightly Re

NO HURRY IN NORWAY.
People Toko Their Time There and Woe-
der at Yankee Vialtora.
These Norwegians are a wonderfully
patient people, says a correspondent
They never hurry. Why should they?
There is always time enough. We break
fast at 9 o clock. Monsieur goes to busi
ness at 10 or so, and returns to his din
ner, like ail the rest of the Scandina
vian world, at 3 :30. We reach coffee
and cigarettes at about 4, and then mon
sieur goes back to his office, if he likes,
for two or three hours. We sometimes
see him again at supper at 8 .30, but
usually there is a game of whist, or a
geographical society lecture, or a con
cert, or a friend's birthday fete (an oc
casion never overlooked by your true
Norwegian), or some one has received a
barrel of . oysters, and would not, could
not, dream of opening them without
champagne and company masculine
company only. It seems to me that
there are entirely too many purely male
festivities here. In fact, the men say so
themselves and that they would really
enjoy many of the occasions much more
if ladies were present But "it is not
the custom of the country" (a rock on
which I am always foundering) to omit
or to change in such matters. Monsieur
only does as do all the other men of his
age, which is elderly, and condition,
which is solid.
There is a curious feeling concerning
America over here in one way and an
other. Morgenbladet, the chief conserv
ative paper, an organ locally of the
first importance, keeps a sort of horror
chamber of Americana. The reason is,
I suppose, that in these very dark and
troublous political times, when not only
the union but the monarchy itself is
threatened and tottering, the conserva
tive interest thinks it dangerous to al
low any virtue to appear in a republic,
aud especially in ours, the most flour
ishing, and therefore the most perni
cious, example ol that invention of evil
bred. San Francisco Examiner.
Aniroala In Loibaeb's Earthquake.
An observer of animal life has col
lected (our Vienna correspondent says)
a number of notes upon the behavior of
animals during the earthquake at Lai
bach. A railway guard observed that
some minutes before the first shock was
felt his owL chained to a toolhouse,
cried as if for help, and be was with it
when the earthquake began. Some for
est guards observed bares running, as if
for their lives, up a hill before the first
shock. Partridges flew a long distance,
A gentleman who spent the night of
Easter Sunday in a carriage saw the
pigeons and hawks on a tower flying
round it every time that a shock was
near. Sparrows and redbreasts also flut
tered about and seemed to overcome
their fear of men. The most excited of
all were the horses. They trembled long
before a shock occurred, and some fell
on their knees aud sides. The dogs
bowled the whole night When a shock
was near, their cries were so strange that
they struck the ear as something not
heard before. London News.
Beat tho Low.
Up at Hampden Park, in Springfield,
when the Massachusetts an ti pool law
was rigidly enforced a few years ago,
Uncle Ed Morse and other pool sellers
cleverly evaded it by putting up for sale
at "auction" cards having printed on
them the picture of a horse. "How
much am I offered for this picture of
Prince Wilkes?" was the query. "Sold
for f 100 to Mr. X. Prince Wilkes sold
for $100, what do I hear for this pic
ture of Patron?" It was easy enough.
All the change was that the auctioneer
had to say a few more words. Hart

HOW THE TRAMP LIVES,
Breakfast HI Principal Moal-Ctothol
Are No object.
As a rule the "poko out" beggar has
but one meal a day, aud it is usually
breakfast .This is the main meal
with all vagabonds, and even the laay
tramn makes frantio effort to find it
Its Quantity as well as its quantity de
pend largely on the kind of house be
visits. His usual breakfast, if he is
fairly lucky, consists of ootToe, a little
meat, some potatoes, aud "puuk an
plaster." as he oalls bread aud butter.
Coffee, more than anything else, is
what every man of his kind wants
early in the morning.
The clothes of the "poke-out" beg
gar are not much, if any better than
his food. In summer he seldom has
more than a shirt, a pair of trousers,
a coat, some old shoes, and a battered
hat Even in winter he wears little
more, especially if he goes South.
While I lived with him I wore these
same "toga." I shall never forgot my
first tramp suit of clothes. The coat
was patched in a dosen places, and was
nearly three uses too large for me; tne
vest was torn in the back, and had but
two buttons; the trousers were out at
the knees, and had to be tiNtned up in
London fashion at the bottom to keep
me font trippiug; the bat was an old
Derby with the crown dented in sev
eral plaoea; and the only decent thing
I had on was a flannel wiirt 1 pur
chased this rig of an old Jew, and
thought that it would be just the thing
for the road, aud so it was, but only
foe the "poke-out" tramp's road. The
hoboes lauehed at me and called me
"hoodoo." and I never got in with
them in any such garb. Nevertheless,
I wore it for nearly two months, and
so long as I associated with lazy beg
gars only, it was all right
It is by no means umoaimon to see a
poke-out , vagabond wearing some
sort of a garment which belongs to a
woman's wardrobe. He is so indiffer
ent that he will wear anything that
will shield his nakedness, and I have
known him to be so laiy that he did
not even do that. One old fellow I re
member particularly. He had lost his
shirt somehow, and for almost a week
went about with only a coat between
his body and the world at large. Some
of his pals, although they were of his
own class, told him that he ought to
find another one, and the more he de
laved it the more they labored with
him. One night they were all gather
ed together at a "hang-out" not far
from Lima, Ohio, and the old fellow
was told that unless he found a shirt
that night they would take away his
ooat also. He begged and begged, but
they were determined, and as he did
not show any intention of doing as he
was bidden, they relieved him of his
jasket And all that night and the
following day he was actually so lazy
and stubborn that he would not yield.
and probably would be there still, in
some form or other, had his pals not
relented and returned him the coat
As I said, he went for nearly a week
without finding a shirt, and not once
did he show the least shame or embar
rassment Just at present I under
stand that he is in limbo, wearing the
famous "zebra" the penitentiary
dress. It ia not popular among tramps,
and they seldom wear it, but I feel
that that old rascal, in spite of the dis
grace and inconvenience that nis con
finement brings upon him, is tickled
indeed that he is not bound to find his
own clothes. Harper's Weekly.
Loo Great In Iefeat.
A lady living at Warm Springs,
Vs., furnishes a very pleasing anecdote
of General Robert E. Lee, which will
find ready belief North and South.
Shortly after the war, a Northern Gen
eral and his daughters were quartered
at this summer resort and naturally, as
the tide of sectional bitterness, in
creased by overwhelming failure, bad
not begun to ebb, the Northern family
were not only having a very dull time,
but were being made to feel as if they
were shunned like the plague-stricken.
When this fact was mentioned acci
dentally to General Lee, "the Great
Captain" at once exclaimed: "
"I am very glad to learn of this. I
shall see to it instantly that they find
this place more pleasant." He called.

general and his daughters and sought
opportunity to bestow upon them lav
ish attentions, with all that open grace
and peculiar charm which were his by
nature. Of course, as he set the fash
ion, tne young ladies became very
popular at the hotel, and the two gen
erals from courteous acquaintances,
grew into cordial friends. The South
can be well pardoned, or ratner,
could not be so well pardoned if it did
not cherish with warm affection the
memory of Lee. Like some other great
men, he met the supreme test of great

Scientific Kite-Flying.
Kite-flying, which used to be done
for fun, has arisen to the dignity of a
scientific experiment Two sets of such
experiments are now in progressone
under the direction of the weather
bureau at Washington, and the other at
Blue Hill, near Boston, conducted by
W. A. Eddy, of New Jersey. Not
only do the experimenters send the
kites up several thousand feet, but
they send up cameras with them, and
get pictures of the landscape from that
altitude. The ostensible purpose of
the scientific kite-flying is to find out
as much as possible about the atmos
phere and its currents, barometric
curves, temperature, and other ingre
dients; but no doubt it is just as good
fun to fly a scientific kite as any other
sort, and no doubt the scientific grown
ups enjoy it Harper's Weekly,
THE BANNOCK INOIAN AFFAIR
Tho Honor of tho Oovommont Appear
to Bo at atako. - -
The difficulty is that these Iudlaus
have certain rights to hunt whioh are
supposed to conflict with the fstato
laws. The" rights are granted or do
fluod uurler a treaty between tho tribe
aud tho United States, and Governor
Richards, of Wyoming, believes that in
a conflict between the law of a state
and a treaty made by the United
States, within the territorial julrsdic
tion of the state, tho treaty must give
way. This may be so. Still the
United States government is granted
bv tho constitution the right to make
treaties with the Indiau tribes, aud
the tribes are uudor the protection of
the general government If a treaty is
made with a tribe dwelliug within a
territory, do tho laws of the territory
or does the treaty prevail? If, after
such a treaty is made, the territory be
comes a state, does or does not the
state succeed to the obligations of the
United States?
Those are serious questions whioh
the settlers in or about Jackson's Hole
auswered by shooting Iudiaus who
were trving to escape from what thoy
supposed was illegal arrest We hope
it is true that the troops will remain
long enough in the viciuity of the
crime to see that substantial justice is
done. It may be that the Iudiaus
committed au offense against the laws
of Wyoming. It may be that they
were within the law by depeuding
upon rights which they supposed had
been granted to them by the United
States. In whatever way this issue
may be settled, there was no excuse
for shooting the Indians, for, as one of
the victims of the slaughter was a
child, it is clear that the Indians wore
not contemplating a murderous attack.
The whites, then, seem to have been
guilty of the gravest crime, no matter
what may be tho judgnieut against the
Indians.
It is a case in whioh the honor of
the government appears to be at stake,
although no government official stirred
up the Indians, we buvo a fow In
dians who are hostiluly inclined, and
we ought to be able for once to do ex
act and thorough justice. Iudeed, we
ought at least to be able to follow out
the law as it is laid down by Justice
Matthews, Bpeaking for the supreme
court in 1886, in the case of the Choc
taw Nation vs. the United States.
This is the principle that the court laid
down a principal to which, to our
shame be it said, we have paid little
heed: "The relations between the
United States and the different tribes
being those of a superior toward in
feriors who are nnder its care aud con
trol, its acts touching them and its
promises to them in the execution of
its own policy, and in the furtherance
of its own interests, are to be inter
preted as justice and reason demand
in all cases where power is exerted by
strong over those to whom are due its
care and protection. The inequality
between the parties, is to be made good
by the superior justice whioh looks
only to the substance of the right"
If this rule is followed, the Indian-
slayers at Jackson's Hole may not faie
very well.
AN ACTOR CRITIC.
Opinions Valuable Beeauae They Are
Generally Wrong.
I bave an actor friend whose opin
ions on matters pertaining to the thea
ter I value immensely because they
are always wrong. And as he never
talks of anything under the sun except
the theater never of books or pictures
or politics or science or morality or
even immorality his conservation is
to me an unfailing source of instruc
tion, delight and inspiration. I have
suspicion that if be were foolish
enough to venture an expression of
views on any of the departments of hu
man activity excepting that in which
he moves and has his being he would
be a bore; but, occupying himself solely
with Shakespeare and the musical
sses, so to speak, he is a veritable
boon. His idlest notion on acting or
plays or scene-painting oi the publio
he has a great deal to say about "the
public or on any thing connected
with what is called the profession,
never fails to start a suggestion toward
the opposite and toward the true. He
is a mentor more certain, more constant
and more genial than the most scrupu
lous study, earnest thought or proved
instinct could be.
If bis chance observations direct so
surely and unhaltingly toward what is
true and beautiful and just in his call
ing, what terms can fitly sot forth the
virtue of his deliberate opinions, the
worth of his views resulting from se
vere thonglit, profound consideration
and precise expression! Often trubu
lous, disheartening doubts on some
matters with which I. must occupy
these pages bave instantly dissipated
before the excathedra utterances of
my actor-friend. Experience to say
nothing of instinct has so impressed
me with the validity of the formula
that orders the exact opposite. There !
is no going wrong so far as that role
is followed. C. F. Nirdlinger, in tho

Miss Lottie Doiioll lives with her
Barents at 703 Natoma Street, Huu
Francisco. She is a young lady 19
years of age, aud of prepossessing ap
pearance. She is one of many thous
ands of young womeu who are blessed
with many personal charms, but who
are hindered from an enjoyment of
them by a constitution impaired by
constant disease, Ever since she was
10 years old Miss Donell has beeu a
sufferer from a rheumatic affection of
the wrist, aud siuoa she was 13 years
of ago site has been subject to various
female weaknesses whioh have kopt her
physioal vitality at a very low stage.
Thus, as she says, she has been a vic
tim of disease ever since she can re
member. When she was a little girl
at school she was always placed at a
disadvantage with her playmates on
account of her frailty of body aud tim
idity of manner. She could never join
iu any of the more boisterous games,
although she always longed to do so.
But the embarrassing conditions of
Miss Douell's life have all boon elimi
nated within tho past year, and the
change is wholly due to the effective
work of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.
"It must be remembered," said Miss
Donell in tolling of the great relief
that Dr. Williams' Pills had afforded
her, "that at the time I began taking
the pills I had been for - years a con
firmed invalid. My wrist was swollen
out of all proportion by the chronio
rheumatism that had long since settled
in it The female complaints from
which I had so long suffered bad
wasted iuy body away until I was but
a mere shadow of my former self and
I had really come to think that the
brightness aud happiuess of life was
not meant for me. 1 had not the en
ergy to perforin even the most simple
of my household duties, and, in a word
I was completely 'run down.' I began
to take Dr. Williams' Pills while I was
iu this cundition and before I had
taken half a box of them I realised
that they were doing me good. I be
gan to feel lively again and to lose that
lax feeling in my limbs. I felt so
happy over the momentary relief that
had bouu afforded me that I resolved to
continue taking the pills. After tak
ing several more boxes I was more than
convinced of the high merits of the
pills, for I was then wholly relieved
from the rheumatic pains in my wrist
and I had so far regained my vitality
of body that I really believed I had
never experienced the euervating effects
of those wasting diseases which are so
peculiar to women. It is a very great
pleasure to me to be able to tull my
young lady friends of the relief that
has been afforded me by Dr. Williams'
Pills and I will surely continue to
recommend their use to all who are
afflicted with the complaints from
which I have suffered."
Dr. Williams' Pink Pills contain
in a condensed form, all the elements
necessary to give new , life and rich
ness to the blood and restore shattered
nerves. They are an unfailing specific
for such diseases as locomotor ataxia,
partial paralysis, St. Vitus' dance, sol
atioa, neuralgia, rheumatism, nervous
headaches, the after effects of la
grippe, palpitation of the heart, pale
and sallow complexions, all forma of
weakness either in male or female.
Pink Pills are sold by all dealers, or
will be sent post paid on receipt of
price, (50 cents a box, or two boxes for
3.50 thoy are never sold in bulk, or
by the 100) by addressing Dr. Will
