QUIEN SABK?
Qalen Sabe who know is a phrase in
very common use among the Spaniards,
and helps over many, many difficulties. It
is expressive. What the weather may be
the coming winter,-who knows? It may
be snowy, wet, stormy, cold, freezing, and
full of sickness and pain, who knows?
Some of us today, hale and hearty, may
lie on beds of torture, or hobble about on
crutches, who knows ? Before the autumn
merges into winter many may have symp-
toms of approaching trouble, of the old
rheumatism coming on, or of first attacks
begun; who knows ? That's a conundrum.
But there is one thing everybody knows,
the best thing to do is to be ready for the
weather coming and to take hold of what
is. Everbody knows what is best. With
St. Jacobs Oil in the house, everybody
knows they have a sure cure for rheuma
tism, acute or chronic. It is likewise
known that in any stage of it, the great
remedy does its work of cure perfectly. If
we suffer, we need not ask who knows,
when it is so well known what is best.

NE of the striking features of the base-baU
world during the past season was the play
ing of a team composed exclusively of In
dians from the Indian Territory. One of them at
tracted more than usual attention by his unusual
skill in playing, and many came to the conclusion
that he was the equal of some crack players. His
name was Walla Tonka. He had a peculiar his
tory. It was as true as it was romantic. An In
dian's verbal promise is said to be as good as the
white man's written contract. This has certainly
been verified in the case of Walla Tonka. Three
years ago Walla Tonka attended a green corn
dance at Ultima Thule in the Choctaw Nation,
near the Arkansas line. There he met a beautiful
Indian maiden named Tookah Ingamore, who
completely captured the affections of the young
brave. He fell madly in love with her. He deter
mined to claim her for his own. But he learned
that he had a rival. He bore the euphonious name
of Eagle Eye. It appears that he was more favor
ably received by the dusky maiden than Walla
Tonka. But this did not deter him in his resolve.
He offered Tookah's father thirty-five ponies for
his daugh'er. To his consternation he found out
that his rival had been there ahead of him and
the deal had been closed. This was too much for
poor Walla Tonka. He determined on revenge.
In an unguarded moment he shot his rival through the heart. The excitement was intense. Walla Tonka was brought before a judge selected from among the
tribe tried and sentenced to be shot While the trial was speedy the execution of the sentence was delayed. The condemned man was given three years in
which to make his arrangements, for death. He was not cast into prison, but was let go on his parole of honor that he would return to receive the sentence impos
ed by the court. No one who knew the young brave doubted that he would return to be executed. Not long after the killing of his rival, Walla Tonka went again
to the father of the maiden and renewed his suit. The old warrior was willing and agreed that the wedding should take place.. His daughter was beginning to
forget her dead lover and to admire the bravery of Walla Tonka. Walla and Tookah lived together happily for three years. During this time Walla had become a
proficient base-ball player and was earning a handsome salary. He was a faithful husband and provided liberally for his companion. They lived in a little cottage
in the heart of the Indian country, and while they must have often thought of the coming doom for Walla, there was no visible sign of anything but happiness. At
last the day arrived when Walla should be shot His wife was inconsolable. Having arranged as well as he could for the future, he bade her an affectionate
farewell and started for the place of execution. No guards accompanied him. He went alone. A great crowd had assembled. His approach was the signal foi
many manifestations of approval. After blindfolding him, his hands were tied behind him. His breast was bared and a small piece of white paper placed over

EDITOR WITHOUT ARMS.
Wonderful Power of a Man Who Is
Sorely Afflicted.
One of the most remarkable newspa
per men in the world and perhaps the
most remarkable Is Aaron Smith, edi
tor of the Mount Pleasant Times-Review
of Texas. He writes his articles
with his toes or with the pen held in
TYPE WRITING WITH HIS TOES.
his mouth, nor does he consider this
achievement as at all extraordinary.
Mr. Smith is a native of Miller Coun
ty, Arkansas, and was born without
arms. He acquired the gift of using
his feet for hands early and as natur
ally as other children learn t-3 use
their hands. When quite small he
learned to feed himself with his feet,
and at the age of 7 had learned to
write. About this time he entered
school, standing at the head of his
classes. He was no less at home on
the playground, where he engaged in
games of marbles, croquet and ball,
becoming an expert in marbles and
croquet.
At an early age he began to map out
a course of life and to realize the im
portance of a thorough education.
Want of funds, however, prevented
more than a high school education, but
he afterwards finished the courses of
philosophy and logic and others at
home,To this fund of knowledge he
has added by extensive reading.
Mr. Smith's boyhood days were spent
In Cass County, Texas. He moved to
Mount Pleasant, Texas, in Novemler,
1888, where he studied law and was ad
mitted to the bar the following spring
at the age of 20. Success attended his
efforts from the first. He built up a
good law practice, and his ability as a
lawyer attracted immediate recogni
tion. He was particularly strong In his
arguments before a jury. In Septem
ber, 1893, he formed the idea that the
newspaper business offered a more in
viting field to one of his physical disa
bilities and, finding the Mount Pleas
ant Times-Herald for sale, purchased
tion. He Is also a member of the Tex
as Press Association.
In writing Mr. Smith holds the pen
in his teeth, sitting at an ordinary
desk. He also writes with his toes,
either with a pen or the typewriter. By
holding a lead pencil In his teeth and
striking the typewriter keys with it he
is enabled to write at a fair rate of
speed. He is' a tireless worker and an
accomplished scholar.

Then newest fad among Parisiennes

MAID WHO DRIVES TROTTERS.
Miss Elliott, Champion of Her Sex as
a Woman Jockey, in a Race.
While it has been of common occur
rence for women to participate in
races here and there over the country
during the last few years, it usually
has been their practice to drive either
to wagon, a four-wheeled vehicle, or to
cart. At the Taunton fair, in the fall
of 1870, Miss Julia Woodard, a young
lady of twenty, drove In competition,
with several gentlemen for prizes to
be given to the best family horse. MJss
Woodard drove a top buggy, and vbs
awarded a prize. In Kansas, some three
years ago, a woman campaigned a
stable of several trotters, but although
she was the active manager, and often
drove the horses in their work, she
did not drive in the races. At South
Farmington, for several years past,
the management of the fair annually
held there has given a purse for which
only women drivers were eligible to
compete, and the race has always bean
one of the most interesting of any on
the program. The majority of those
who have driven in these races have
been married women, driving to light
road wagons or to carts, no special
style of dress being demanded for the
occasion.
So far as the writer knows, Mrs. I.
F. Crosby, who is the owner of Cape
Cod , farm, was the first woman to
mount the sulky just like a man and
drive in races, which she did some two
or three years ago. She proved her-

1894 he was the Democratic nominee
for county judge tmd was a member
from Titus County of the State Demo
cratic convention In 1896, which elect

no funicular, and the ascent is an in

women are ready to endure anything
to accomplish it."

a cool and level head under excite
ment, which is an essential requisite to
one who aspires to drive in a race.
Mrs. Crosby is not at all bold or ag
gressive, but, on the contrary, is a re
tiring, modest little woman, who loves
horses. Last year Mrs. Harriet Winch
of Middlebury, Vt., drove to cart at
many of the large fairs throughout
New England, the fast pacer Major
Wonder, and it was an easy task for
Mrs. Winch to drive the steady-going
fellow miles around 2:12.
It has remained for the season of
1897, however, and the state of Maine,
to give the full-fledged horse race
where all the drivers were women, the
horses hitched t sulkies, and the fair
sex barred from no right extended to
men under the rules of racing. It was
at Pittsfleld, Me., that these women
drove their initial race, and here, as at
the state fair at Lewiston, Miss Leola
Elliott, the . twenty-two-years-old
daughter of a farmer-who lives In
Orient, Aroostook county, was the win
ner, although Mrs. Crosby -who won
second money, drove the fastest mile
of the race, which was in 2:25. Of
the four women drirers, all but Miss
Elliott are married. Mrs. Mary Wood
cock, winner of third money, lives at
Ripley. Mrs. Henry Meader drove
Pilot Morrill, who is owned by her
husband. Miss Elliott has always
lived upon a farm, and has devoted a
great deal of her time to caring for
domestic animals of all kinds, but the
colts and horses have been her hobby.

The Smithsonian Institution baa re
ceived a collection which is of import
anca to the archaeologist It is known
as the Seton-Karr contribution, having
been discovered by this Englishman in
Somaliland, on the eastern coast of Af
rica. The implements were purchased
from the discoverer by the Smithsonian
Institution. There are about 50 pieces
in the collection, made of flint, of qur
tide, and ranging in size from an inch or
so in length to half a foot, some
weighing several pounds. The objects
are supposed to be spear heads, battle
axes and wedges, truncheons, blud
geons or whatever they may be termed.
The discoverer had this to say on the
subject of his find and the locality
where the objects were unearthed:
"Certain landmarks as to the four
rivers mentioned in Genesis led me
think that the Garden of Eden, if it
ever existed, may have been here, and
that these very tools had been made
and used by Adam and his numerous
descendants. At any rate, my discov
eries in Egypt and Somaliland lead me
to the idea that man's original home,
or the place where he was gradually
evolved, must have been in Africa, or
at least, in a tropical land, where
clothos were unnecessary and food plen
tiful to hand."
