Stories from the Marsh Country
Bound About Wlnamao, Ind.
Comfort A, Freeniaen'g tlnlqae Manner of
deposing of HIS Cane Some StoHes
Tbat Are Told To.lay of the
VeMtcta Rendered
When Pulaski county was first settled,
in 1838, a class of Indian traders and
stock thieves overran the county and
terrorized the law-abiding pioneers till
forbearance ceased to be a virtue with
them, and they met in a mass conven
tion and nominated and elected Com
fort A. I'reemaen their justice of the
peace. 'Squire Freemaen, says a Chi
cago Tribune correspondent, possessed
but a slight idea of what the state stat
ues contained, therefore his justice
court was run upon the appearance and
character of the charges preferred; as
the 'squire termed it: "Common horse
sbnse and general principles In evi
dence." He held his court under a
cluster of plum trees that was thickly
covered with grapevines. A stump of
a tree he used as a table. The jury used
a hewed log for their seats; the specta
tors used the most convenient spots on
the ground. Early reminiscences, as
told by the old settlers, say that in the
early part of 1840 Wilhelm Restrux's
cow wandered far away from her pas
ture field of water lilies and cattails
and no trace of her whereabouts was to
be found until the following spring,
when a worthless character and' land
squatter by the name of WcTurtle hud
the cow in his possession and refused to
give her up. Mr. Restrux replevied the
cow, and evidence during the trial was
in favor of Mr. Restrux, and the court
so decided. The justice of the peace,
while in the act of entering his verdict
upon his docket, overheard McTurtle
remarking: "Nothing been sed 'bout
that calf." His honor was egotistical,
and, walking up to him, seized him by
the throat. "Say, you cow thief, give
up that calf or I'll pound niggerheads
out of you." The calf was given up.
Charles Blackstone, being charged
with stealing a slab-sided, razor-back
hog, the evidence was against him,
and the court instructed his bailiff to
Nltpply fifty lashes to the convicted
man"!,back. Upon adjournment of the
court the baV-l'ff went out to find a
good ox gad, amd d.iV-ing his absence
the attorney for IHackstH-'ue filed a hear
ing for a new trial. Th court agreed
to hear the argument am (adjourned for
dinner. In the meanti- ie the bailiff
returned and escorted ti '.nI prisoner into
the timber end ci rricd put the court's
instructions and 1 tackt ne, not under-
stnnc?ii5(Hiii'...r't-s,avv trial was
to be heard. Entered qot W word of rtro
test again"6 "1" whipping received and
wcut Back to the court, which was
then in session. His attorney was
pleading for a new trial. Itlackstone
did not understand this, and exclaimed:
"Oreat snakes, squire, I have had one
whaling." The court was astonished,
and said: "Yank that drunken cuss out
of here and pound a bucket of grease
out of him." His attorney protested,
and the court threatened then to tar
and feather the attorney if he "didn't
shet up." In the meantime Mr. lilack
stone received the second whipping,
and was returned to the court. He
found his attorney in a heated contro
versy with the court. Mr. Blackstone
fell upon his knees and pleaded the
court to make that lawyer "shet up" or
he "would be hanged for that hog yet,
and the wild fern would wave over his
grave by the Pink Mink." The court
awakened to the fact that something
was wrong, and proceeded to kick the
bailiff out of the room.
The squire's wife notified him one
day they were out of meal and he at
once filled a sack with shelled corn
and started to what is known as the
"Niggerhead Flutter mill." Upon his
arrival he found the mill owner was
absent, and as the squire did not want
to make the second trip he filled the
hopper and started the burrs to grind
ing. It being a slow and tedious job
he concluded to take a nap, which he
did, and in an hour or so he woke up
and went to the meal-cateh bin and
discovered several dogs lapping up the
meal as it came from the grinding
burrs. The squire went home roaring
mad and issued a warrant for the mill
owner and sat in judgment upon the
trial and fined the mill owner five
bushels of meal.
Wilson Cornell was charged with
selling whisky to the Indians. During
a heated controversy between the op
posing counsel the squire and Cornell
slipped out the courtroom and they
were soon seen rolling a ten-gallon keg
into the squire s cabin. The court
then decided that the act upon which
this charge was founded had expired
when Indiana became a state and that
an Indian's evidence was no good until
he became a citizen.
As time progressed 'Squire Freemaen
blossomed as an attorney at law. His
shingle read as follows:
; FBEEHAF.N, ETKRNT AND :
: law sguiitK. :
Yet to-day, in conseunence of this
trivial error in orthography, he is an
honored citizen of the I'ink Mink re
gions.
Kelly and Lane became involved in a
heated controversy over a "yaller
hound, and Kelly had Lane arrested
to keep the peace. 'Squire Freemaen
was in trouble how he should draw up
the papers. After a thorough search
a form was found in the statute under
the head "VagrantajAct." The words
appeared in brackets. (John Doe and
Richard Roe.) The squire was in a
quandry what to do, and called in his
next best friend to help him out. Hii
friend insisted that "William Kelly
and George Lane" was proper, but the
fxjuire stuck to it that "John Doe and
Kicharu Roe" was proper, and no argu
merit would convince him otherwise,
and his docket reads: "(John Hoc and
Richard Roe) are vagrants and stand
committed to jail until fines and cost
ara pai Kliy Ye, bang paid thtiir
bane,"
WTVSEASILY OBTAINED.
How Charity Uirls Are Given In Marriage
to Deserving Italian Peaeants.
At the far end of Naples lies the lit
tle church of Santa Maria Annunziata,
which, once a year, on the day of Our
Lady, wakes up into a brief life and
excitement. In a silent row before a
high altar kneel thirty girls, all in
black garments, with folded hands,
and eyes fixed on the picture of the
Madonna before them.
These are orphans from the neigh
boring foundling asylum, says the Chi
cago Inter Ocean, and once a year
those who have reached the age of
eighteen are brought here to the church
and may be chosen in marriage by any
honest man whose papers are in order
and whose character is good. At the
door leading to the sacristy leans a
gray-haired priest, the head of the asy
lum. By and by a young man makes
his way from the back of the church and
hands him a packet of papers. These
the priest reads carefully, and, being
satisfied, he gives them back and leads
the candidate toward the row of girls.
Their eyes are fixed more steadfastly
than ever on the altar, their hands arc
clasped tighter together, their faces
turn a shade paler, their hearts beat
quicker as the young man walks slowly
along the row. At last he stops; his
choice is made. He stretches out his
hand with a little smile.
The girl rises, casts a long look, half
thanks, half entreaty, at the picture
of the Madonna, puts her hand into
that of the stranger, and together they
disappear "into the sacristy. The ice
being thus broken, other suitors come
forward.
VALUE OF ALFALFA.
The Wonderful Vitality of This Pecu
liar Growth.
The desert wastes of New Mexico
and Arizona may yet be broad fields of
pasturage covered with herds of fat
tening cattle if the hopes of the men
who are deeply interested in certain
experiments are realized. The expec
tations of these men, says the San
Francisco Call, are bnsed upon the won
derful vitality of alfalfa or Mexican
clover, the growth of which is aston
ishingly rapid and a field of which will
yield several crops in a season, Its
roots are said to go far down in search
of moisture, sometimes to a depth of
eighteen to twenty feet, and its nutri-1
tious properties ana tne avidity witn
which stock eat it are well known.
The large land and live stock invest
ment companies which are now operat
ing in New Mexico and Arizona have,
as an essential part of their schemes of
utilizing the desert lands, the growing
of large tracts of alfalfa with which to
feed their range cattle and other stock.
4 1 one ranch alone, the La Guoca, in
ora county, N..jM., one thousand head
of range cattle are now being feu and
fattened for market on alfalfa. The
Mexican clover is grown by aid of mod
ern irrigation, and the hinds laid
down to it tend to improve in fertility.
Stockmen down in that country have
lost all faith in the prowess of modern
rainmakers and their schemes, and they
are running their ctlorts into more
practicable channels.
A Fishy Rtory.
I'yeng Yang, a city in Corea, was
founded three thousand and sixteen
years ago. It is known as the well
less city. Within its walls is not a
single well and all the water of the
city is carried up by watermen from
the river which washes its southern
wall. Tradition shows that this lias
always been so, for it is said that when
a Chinese general besieged it two thou
sand years ago, believing that he could
compel its inhabitants to capitulate by
cutting off their water supply, he was
led to give up the attempt because the
soldiers on the walls took fish scales
and went through the motions of the
bath, and the scales, glittering in the
sun, looked in the eyes of the aston
ished besiegers to be drops of water.
Exchange.
A Pompous Little Chap.
Alfonso, king of Spain, is now a lit
tle more than eight years of age, and a
pompous little chap he is, which is not
to be wondered at when Spanish eti
quette is considered. His slumbers are
watched throughout the night by the
Mnnteros de Espinosa, a body of men
who for four hundred years have en
joyed the exclusive privilege of guard
ing the king or queen from sunset to
sunrise. They are bound by tradition
to be natives of the town of Espinosa,
and must have served with honor in
the army. They lock the palace gates
with much ceremony and solemnity at
midnight, and open them again at seven
o'clock In the morning. Naturally,
Alfonso thinks he is a great little man.
THE NATIONAL FLOWER.
How the Rose of Hharon Became the
Itose of Kngland.
That the rose is the national flower
of England, and was accepted as such
at the conclusion of the wars of the
roses, when the red rose of Lancaster
and the white rose of York were united
by the marriage of the representatives
of the two warring houses, most read
ers of history know. How this flower
came to be the badge of either house,
not many people even guess. The few
students who suppose they know its
history say that the white rose came
to the house of York through the fam
ily of Clifford, whose device it had long
been, and beyond whom it cannot be
traced. The red rose, it is supposed,
dates back to Eleanor of Provence,
queen of Henry III., and was ber per
sonal device, assumed for love of the
beautiful Provence roses of her native
duchy, and transmitted to her descend
ants of Lancaster.
But in the recently published life of
Deau Stanley, a devoted student of
historic traditions, a new and pic
turesque origin is assigned to the na
tional flower. He gathered the story
while visiting in u chateau in the little
town of Provins, France, and lrt.'licved
it to be correct. According to it, the
red rose of England was never a
Provence rose, but instead was a rose
it Provins.

Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U.S. Gov't Report
IX w
Absolutely pure
pagne, and in the time of the Fourth
Crusade one of these counts, called
Thibaut the Troubadour, became a
crusader and visited the Holy Land.
On his return he brought to his wife
a rose-bush with a splendid bright
crimson flower the rose of Sharon
and this was planted In the castle gar
den, where it grew and flourished.
Soon it spread to neighboring gar
dens, and the town became famous for
roses. Wreaths for the great church
festivals were made from these roses
from the Holy Land: they were used to
grace all gala occasions, and the good
French housewives even turned them
to more practical account. They made
such nu appetizing delicacy from rose
leaves, put up with sugar or sirup, that
its fame spread far beyond the imme
diate neighborhood, and it commanded
a ready sale throughout the entire re
gion under the name of Conserves de
Roses de Provins.
A generation later the prosperity of
the town received a sad shock, and the
preserving Industry no doubt suffered
with the other industries of its citizens.
Provins had a mayor of such oppres
sive views on the labor question that
he ventured to ring the great curfew
bell, which ended the working day, an
hour later than had been customary.
This the work-people would not en
dure. They mobbed the unpopular
magistrate, and killed him in his own
house. They did not stop to consider
the possible consequence of such an
act. The line of the counts of Cham
pagne had become extinct, but Blanche,
the widow of the last one, had married
Edmund Crouchback, first earl of Lan
caster, who promptly undertook to
punish the unruly inhabitants.
He maae sucn navoc mat the town
never recovered from it, and had even
to submit to having a new bell made
and named (luillonette, in honor of the
murdered mayor, (iuillaume. This
bell, after six centuries, still rings the
curfew in Provins every night. When
Edmund went back to England, leav
ing misery, poverty and terrified quiet
behind him, he carried home, says
De :n Stanley, two relics.
"One was the yard measure which,
for many years, was in France peculiar
to Provins; the other was the crimson
roats, TrliioJi through him hnoa.mi the
rose of Lancaster."
The heraldic rose of England is still
of blended red and white, significant
of the union of the two great houses;
but as Lancaster was victorious in bat
tle, so also is the red rose the victor in
popular favor, and it is of that, not of
the stiff parti-colored rosette of the
British eoat-of-urms, that we think as
the emblem and flower of the nation.
The old French crusader's holy rose,
the rose of Sharon, the rose of Provins,
has become the rose of England.

most peculiar bank notes ever seen. It
was a twenty-dollar note or a ten-dollar
note, just according to which side
was up, for, by some remarkable mis
take, the one side was printed with
the figures and devices of a twenty
dollar bill, while the other had all the
figures and devices of a ten. The note
was returned to the treasury by the
cashier of the First Washington na
tional bank of New Jersey, who sent
it with a rather sarcastic note, intimat
ing that his bunk was not going into
the freak business, and added that as
the treasury had counted that bill for
twenty dollars he would trouble them
to send him nn ordinary twenty-dollar
note. The affair created a sensation,
for no one had seen such a wonderful
note before. The matter was referred
to the department for issue, from which
the note had been sent out to the Jer
sey City bank. The mistake was
promptly corrected and an investiga
tion was begun.

with vigor, says the Baltimore News,
and (len. Meredith, then chief of the
bureau of engraving and printing,
found the cause of the trouble. It
aeems that the four notes printed on a
sheet, are not all of one denomination.
There are always three of one kind and
the fourth of another; thus, in this
case, throe tens and a twenty. It was
an easy task to learn just when this
bundle had been printed and by which
plate printers. They were examined,
and it was developed that one sheet of
four notes, after having been printed
on one side, had fallen off the bundle
to the floor. The assistant who picked
it up, by some unfortunate oversight
turned the sheet upside down when she
placed it on the bundle.
This sheet was printed on the second
side with a twenty-face on the reverse
of a ten and one of the three ten-faces
on the reverse of the one twenty of the
steel. Hence there were two "10-20" in
the lot. Thus the mistake was cor
rected. But no good explanation was
offered, or can be offered, why these
two bills, passing through a score of
hands, each one of whom is supposed
to examine every bill most carefully,
should not have been discovered. Every
person in the bureau who handles a
note is held responsible in the strictest
way, and it is almost incredible that
none of these people should have dis
covered the mistake. In the depart
ment of issue are not less thun six
counters, whose business it has been
for years to count the notes before issu
ing them to the banks. They are con
sidered the most expert counters in the
world, and yet all six of these wonder
ful experts allowed such a bill to pass
through their hands. No trace has yet
been found of the second hybrid, so
that it must be wandering around the
country.
AN ARTIFICIAL NIAGARA.
England's Ncheine to Utilise the Current
of the Irish Channel.
England does not propose to be bo-
hind the United States in the utiliza
tion of natural waterpowcr for electric
lighting and machinery. Since she
has no Niagara, she proposes, it is said,
to make one The force to be borrowed
is that of old ocean itself, says an
a.rt.iola in the Boston Traroller. -
The North sen flows through the
Irish channel with a swift southward
current. At the Mull of Cantire,
only fifteen miles from Scotland, the
average depth of the strait is not more
than three hundred feet. A dam built
at this point would incidentally per
mit of railroad connection between the
sister islands. Hut the main purpose
of its, construction would be to bank
up. the waters and create an artificial
difference of levels.
The sea north of such a wall would
at once rise higher than the Irish sea,
which would be turned into an inlet or
bay. By tapping the dam an almost in
exhaustible power could bo drawn
upon, since the greater width of the
wall would more than make up for the
steeper descent of tho narrow Niagara
river. Secondary advantages, such as
increased navigability of the now
stormy Irish sea and improvement in
the ports of eastern Iceland are claimed
for the plan.
The Discovery of Glass.
There is little or nothing known
with certainty in regard to the inven
tion or discovery of glass. Some of the
oldest specimens ore Egyptian, and the
age of certain gluss vessels made by
that people, which are now kept in the
British museum, is believed to be at
least 4,194 years, dating back to the
year 2300 B. C. Transparent glass was
first used about 750 B. C, the credit of
this latter discovery being given to the
Phoenicians. The old story of its acci
dental discovery is familiar: Merchants
who were resting their cooking pots on
blocks of subcarbonate of soda found
glass produced by the union, under
heat, of the alkali and the sands of the
desert.
