-Way back In 1S76, t was with Sit
ting Dull, Rain In the Face, Crazy
Horse and a lot of other good fellows.
We were strolling through the Yellow
utono country, dodging the troops or
fighting them. One afternoon we
spotted General Crook's command ad
vancing upon us. A quick council was
held. Crazy Horse proposed to bury
the main body of our warriors among
the bluffs and hills, forming a sort of
horseshoe around a little valley, and
to send about 500 young warriors
Against Crook's cavalry. The scheme
-was for these youngsters to make a
;Iee. warm fight for an hoar or so,
:and then break back Into confusion.
Crook's men would follow Into the'
trap, and there would be some fine
scalp collecting.
The history books tell of the fight
we made. After the light bad been on
perhaps half an hour, we found that
vre were ahead of the game. Crook's
men were giving way, his whole force
yras coming up to aid the adrance
"guard, and we were whipping- them as
fast as they came.
"Say! I yelled to Crazy Horse,
who was leading the charge. This Is
the best ever. Let's go ahead and
make a good Job of It
Too good to be true,' Crazy Horse
howled back through the smoke and
dust 'You do what you were told to

histories say that 'Crook was so hard

the field.' Quite correct It was late
In the afternoon before a cross or

us off, and It the charge bad been ten

ISXAKS COSIES AKTJ GOES.

ltrgularlr la February,
One of Michigan's unsolved myste
ries Is the island that every summer
somes to the surface of Lake Orion
and every winter goes back again to
the depths from whence it arose.
Its periods of appearance and disap
pearance are nearly regular. It comus
lo tho surface about the middle of Au
gust and goes down again about Feb.
15. What causes It to act thus strange
ly is a conundrum that none has been
able to solve, but to keep It above
crater or compel It to remain in the
depths have been alike without re
sults. On one occasion a number of farm
tra and-teamsters resolved to put tha
island out of moving business: In
their efforts to do so they hauled
many loads of stone and deposited
them on It during the early part of
winter, believing that when It went
town In February -It would go down
Tor good, weighted as It was with the
Stones. Out the following August saw
It bob up serenely from below minus
Us load of stone.
At another time aa effort was aide
to keep It on tho surface, and It was
chained (o tho surrounding country
with heavy log chains. When its llmo
for departure enmo It departed, and
tho log chains departed with It Tho
log chains were never recovered.

In "Tho lYoplo'a Llfo ot Thcll
Queen," by Itov, R. J. Hardy, an Inter
eating account Is given ot Queen Vic
toria's accession to tho throne. At tho
age ot eighteen, an ng at which, ns
her biographer says, n girl would hard
ly bo trusted to chooso a bonnet tor
herself, she was called to undertake
responsibilities from -which an arch
angel might havo shrunk.
William IV. died at two o'clock on
tho morning of Juna SO, 1SS7, Tho
event was expected, and a carrlago
had been kept ready. Into this entered
tho Archbishop ot Canterbury and the
Lord Chamberlain, and drove rapidly
to Kensington Palaco.
There they had no little dlfaculty In
rousing tho porter. They were first
kept waiting In tho courtyard. Then
they were admitted to ono ot the lower
rooms, and there they remained till
they seemed to have, been forgotten by
everybody. They rang tho bell and ex
pressed their desire that tho attendant
ot tho Princess Victoria might bo sent
to Inform her royal highness that they
requested an audience on business ot
Importance.
The messenger disappeared, and an
other long delay ensued. Then they
rang again, and at last some one came
to announce that tho princess waa in
such a sweet sleep that her attendant
could not venture to disturb her.
"We are como on business ot stato
lo the queen, and even her sleep must
glvo way to that," answered the arch
bishop. This message brought tho queen her
self, "and to prove that she had not
kept them waiting, she camo Into the
room In a loose white nightgown nnd
shawl, her nightcap thrown off and her
hair falling upon her shoulders, her
feet In slippers, and with tears In her
eyes, but perfectly collected and dig
nified." Her first words are said to have been,
"I beg your grace to pray for me."
The next thing was to write a letter
to the widowed Queen Adelaide. It
waa addressed to "Her Majesty the
Queen." Some one remarked that It
should be directed to tho queen dow
ager. "I am aware ot that." said the young
queen, "but I will not be the first to
remind her of her altered position."
In the same forenoon the queen held
her first privy council, and was great
ly admired for her manner nnd be
havior. Once a personal trait peeped
.out In taking the oath about the
Church of Scotland, she came to the
old word Intituled, which she pro
nounced as It waa spelled.
Viscount Melbourne, who stood be
side her, whispered:
"Entitled, please Your Majesty."
The little lady drew herself up,
looked at the First Lord of the Treas
ury, and then, with another look at tho
paper before her, and with a raised
voice and a perceptible emphasis, she
repeated the words, "An act Intituled."
Tearhlne: the Ildjr Uualneae.
A truck gardener In tho vicinity ot
Pittsburg decided early last spring
that be would give hla 9-ycnr-old ion
a few practical lessons In how to con
duct business. At any rate, ho would
encourage him by letlng him earn
some money for himself. It was decid
ed finally to start the boy In the to
mato Industry. His rather rented him
"box space" In the greenhouse, and the
lad soon had about 1,000 tiny tomato
plants started, intending, of course, to
sell them when neighboring gardeners
would want them to set out in the
fields. The father charged him 15
cents for the box-space and a quarter
for the seeds Just enough to let the
boy know that he was not getting
them for nothing.
When the warm weather came tha
father set out thousands of tomato
plants one day and that night a frost
came and killed the most of them. It
was up to him to go out and buy more
plants wherever he could, and among
the first "dealers" he approached was
his son.
"What do you want for your plants,
Ollbertr he asked.
"The market price, father," was the
prompt reply.
The market price turned out to bo
six dollars a thousand, and papa had
to pay It. too.

Electric baking ovens havo long

ot tho cost, or tho difficulty ot pro

a safUfnctory manner. In a furnace
less than eight feet long 100 pounds
of bread, In loaves ot one and three

The brain ot tho celebrated chem
ist, Mendcleef, has beun dissected and
studied by Professors W. von llecht

the average size, but not remarkably
so, tho weight being 1.B71 grams
about 60 2-3 ounces. Tho convolutions
were found to be simple In arrange
ment, and from mere examination, It
Is said, no ono .ould have formed any
opinion of tho very special qualities
manifested by Its living possessor.
Only two features were In any de
gree peculiar a highly convoluted
part of tho left parietal lobe and a
comparatively small and simple tem
poral lobe. For comparison It may be
recalled that Curler's brain Is said to
have weighed 614 ounces and Gam

In a recent lecture before the Inter
national Congress of Applied Chemis
try Sir Iloverton Kedwood enumerated
the principal advantages of petroleum
as fuel Its thermal efficiency ai
compared with coal Is reckoned by the
British Admiralty as 18 to 10: It docs
not, like coal, demand that a thick bed
ot Incandescent fuel be ready before
active combustion Is produced; It Is
relatively clean, and requires little la
bor; It Is admirably suited to fueling
a vessel at sea by a Simple flexible
pipe; the combustion can be controlled
with precision, and quickly brought
to the highest efficiency or cut off en
tirely. Still, the lecturer thought that
liquid fuel will never entirely displace
coal, because the supply Is not likely
lo be sufficient.

Prof. Helar at Uilbach, Austria, no

Mrs. Lyon lifted the embroidery
from the work table at ber side and
began stitching at a long. One strip
of linen with dainty fingers.
"Do you know," she said, holding It
up for closer Inspection, "do you know,
Edwin, that Arabella looks simply
lovely In whlta?"
Mr. Lyon was so deeply absorbed in
his editorial that ho merety uttered a
casual, disinterested "Indeed!"
"Yes," went on Arabella's mother,
her enthusiasm quite unquenched by
lack of sympathy. "She looks like an
angel In white, really; I cim't help
thinking bow lovely she will bo when
the graduates. I'm planning her a
gown that will be a dream; frills and
Insertion, and all done by hand. Of
course It will be a pity to hide It when
she wears ber cap and gown, but It
must shove underneath a little, and "
Mr. Lyon, now thoroughly aroused,
laid aside his newspaper. "If you're
talking about Arabella going to col
lege." be said, grimly, "you might as
well give It up at once. I shall never
give my consent, never! I have always
said that no daughter of mine should
go to college, and I see no reason now
why I should change my mind."
"But, EdwJn." pleaded his wife, "you
know how disappointed I was when I
couldn't go "
"It was your greatest charm for me,"
gallantly Interrupted Mr. Lyon.
"And I have always tried so hard
to catch up with the other girls," went
on Mrs. Lyon, unheedlngly, 'The lit
erary clubs I've belonged to and the
lectures I've attended "
'The one blot on your otherwise
perfection," Interrupted Mr, Lyon
again, not so wisely this time, but bis
wife kept steadily to her theme,
"And I'm forevor driven with the
fear that I won't know things, and
and I'm not going to havo Arnbolln

"I knew you'd wake hort You always

trailed reproachfully down to the nurs

back with a blinking, rosy baby cud

Then something ot tho absurdity ot
