Ued Territory Hard Time
' In Store. '
Lieut. Arnold,' who is attached to
the staff of Oov. Brown, of Kentucky,
recently arrived here from the Chero--kee
strip, where he was successful in
securing1 a splendid claim, says the
St. Louis Republic. On the mem-'
orable morning1 he made the run on a
thoroughbred race horse he had brought
there expressly for the purpose.
Starting from point four miles east
of Hunnewell he -Jiad to ride sixteen
miles south of a point known as 1 Hack
wells. , lie covered the distance in
fifty-two minutes, accompanied ' by a
V.cow-puncher" thoroughly acquainted
with the country. , At least fifty well
mounted men were in hot pursuit for
the same claim, but the lieutenant got
there first.' Several other Kentuckians
were similarly successful in the same
vicinity. Lieut. Arnold's quarter sec
tion of one hundred and sixty acres is
one of the titbits of the strip. It is
close to the Shekasky river, and is a
splendid tract of land, worth between
two thousand and five thousand dollars
according to experts. 1 .
Arnold is a sunburnt, sinewy-looking1
man of about forty. Ho said: "I
was prepared for ' a tough experience,
but, great heavens! not for what 1 saw
and underwent. To begin with, thou
sands of men and women were kept
forty-eight hours Inthts line endeavor
ing to register. The dust was simply
awful. At the time the rush was made
everyone was black and unrecogniz
able. There was hardly a drop of wa
ter to drink, and washing was an im
possibility. ' Fifteen thousand grimy j
human beings tore madly into the new '
domain, reminding me more of the
maggots on a carcass than anything
else. The sooneru were in possession
almost everywhere. Lots of them were
shot, and I saw one sooner hanged in
short order. In my ride I noticed near
ly twenty dead "horses and" quite a
number of dead and dying men.
"There was fighting and bloodshed
enough to satisfy the very worst of the
bad men from Uitter creek. Not far
from my claim two men were quarrel
ing with drawn pistols, when a third
interfered and endeavored to separate
them. He got a shot through the wrist,
and then the two proceeded to. kill
each other. 1 saw one fellow lying
. dead vith a handkerchief drawn
tightly around his neck. Ho had been
strangled, and when searched four
hundred and fifty dollars was found on
him. .When I made' the rush I wore
mighty littlo and carried no arms, but
I felt more comfortable when my Win
chester was in my hands. The scenes
after the rush were terrible. I saw
two women who were burned by the
prairie fire and the soldiers shot by the
sobners. In fact I have seen enough
of that sort of thing to last me the rest
of, my life. Blackwcli, the so-called
Indian, who gave his name to the town
site and owns every other lot in it, is a
'squaw man.' He put his hay up to
one dollar a bale after the rush, but
the boys went to hiin with a few
double-barreled persuaders ' on their

down to fifty cents after a brief discus
sion. . They, also made him stand by
original prices for his town lots. I

hung him any morning.
"Well, I'm glad to getaway from the
strip awhile, although, now that the
rain lias come and the dust settled,
there is not so much hardship.
"It was fearful at first, especially
for women, and I am afraid even now
an awful winter is in store for many of
the settlers.
"My claim is disputed.liko all the rest,
but I have a clear case. My papers are
all right, and I expect to return in a
month or so and commence improve
ments." '
What Machinery Ii Doing.
One of the astonishing facts in the
flold of 'industry is the marvelous
power of machinery operated by hancj.
In the cotton trade, in 1850, the average
product of every employe was some
thing less than $700, whllo thirty years
later ho was able to produce a valuo of
$1,200, notwithstanding tho reduced
price of cotton. In the woolen factory
tho change was much the same, the
hand of each worker being ablo as long
ago as 1850 to make over 8 1,200 of prod
uct, and in 1880 about 81,800, tho pro
portion of material consumed by im
proved machinery being about the
, same. How much tho world is in
debted to invention cannot bo stated
in tangible form, says tho Journal of
Finance, but with the strength of man
remaining a the same and the skill of
the present artisan, though showing
some advances, still not distancing
that of the ancient Egyptian, the vast
increase of human resources is duo
mainly to tho influence of invontion in
discovering ways in which machines
can do tho work of men. Tho compe
tition is no longer a competition of
skill of labor, but that of invention,
and in America we are far in advance
of any other nation in this respect. A
man who iifty years ago could turn out
a value equal to a scant wage, now, at
fairly good wages, is able to bring
into being four or live or six. times tho
value. - "

SHOR IHANU NOW A Ntuht.
It Baa Become fen Important Feature ia
, the Duilnm f'orlI nf. T.arge.
tfhe bureau of education at 'Washing
ton has done a good piece . of work,
says the Boston Ilorald, in the mono
graph which has just been sent out
from the government printing ofSee on
t'Shorthand Instruction and Practice. "
In 1884 it published a circular of infor
mation on the teaching, practice and
literature of shorthand. Twenty thou
sand copies were distributed and an
other edition of equal size has been ex
hausted. The present work furnishes not only
an-account of - shorthand in foreign
countries and in the United States, but
nearly the full statistics of instruction
from 1889 up to tho summer of 1891 In
this country, . with an account of the
extent to which stenographers have
been employed in courts, in legal de
cisions, and in other public services.
There are thousands of shorthand so
cieties in Germany, France and Eng-,
land, and in this country, whose work
is to disseminate a knowledge of the
art, and the introduction of shorthand
into the public schools is to be one of
the next steps in secondary education.
'The typewriter is next to shorthand
as a labor-saving instrument, and the
shorthand systems and the principal
typewriting machines have already
wrought a revolution not only in the
courts but in the business offices, in
the writing done for newspapers, and
in every department of life where
writing is indispensable, s- Until speed
can be reached on the typewriter equal
to that which can be obtained by ex
pert stenographers, stenography will
take the lead as a system by which the
spoken word can be taken down exact
ly as it is uttered and made to serve
the purpose for which it is designed.
It is such an aid in all sorts of busi
ness transactions that we could no
more go back to the old habits than we
could go back to the stage coaches
which fifty ' years ago conveyed pur
grandfathers across the country. In
this country the number of persons re
ceiving instruction in shorthand from
July 1, 1889, to June .80, 1890, was 57,
875, and of this number 23,335 were
males and 20,005 females. All these
were taught in schools and classes,
and out of the whole number 7,228
were instructed by mail.
In 229 schools and classes in which
shorthand was introduced during the
scholastic year ending June 80, 1891,
the number of persons taught orally
was 4,150, which with those by mail
made a grand total of 4,738. Of those
taught orally 2,474 were males v.vA
1,658 were females. This is as near a
correct statement of statistics as Mr.
Rockwell has been able to arrive at,
and it shows tho vast extent and uao
of shorthand instruction in this coun
try in all the departments of life. '
Stenography has come to stay, and
typewriting has come to stay with it,
and the two, combined with the tele-
graph and telephone, have been great
ly instrumental in accelerating tho
progress of ideas and facilitating' the
methods of business and the produc
tion of literature. . . '

"ABORIGINES AND COPPER
An Interesting Discovery or - Tools In the
Keweenaw Copper Mine.
A peninsula called Keweenaw point,
Hutting into Lake Superior from tho
southern shore toward the northeast,
is famous as the center of a vast cop
per mining industry. Last year the.
mines produced no less than 105,580,0'
pounds of refined copper, and it is ectl
mated that during the next year tho
production will be increased by at
least 20 per cent.
Mr. E. B. Hinsdale, who contributes
to the latest bulletin of the American
Geographical society an article on tho
subject, has much that is interesting
to say about the numerous prehistoric
mines which have been found in this
region, says the Scientific American.
These ancient mines, judging from
their extent, must have been worked
for centuries. Who the workers were
no one can tell.' They seemed to have
known nothing of the smelting of cop
per, for there are no traces of molten
copper. AVhat they sought were pieces
that could be fashioned by cold ham
mering into useful articles and orna
ments. They understood the use of
fire in softening the rocks to enable
them to break away the rock from tha
masses of copper,' They could not
drill,, but ised the stone hammer
freely.
More than ten carloads of stone ham
mers were found in the neighborhood
of the Minnesota mine. In one place
tho excavation was about fifty feet
deep, and at the bottom were found
timbers forming a scaffolding, and a
large sheet of copper was discovered
there. In another place, in one of tho
old pits, was found a mass of copper
weighing forty-six tons. At another
place tho excavation was twenty-six
feet deep.
In another opening, at the depth of
eighteen feet, a mass of copper weigh
ing over six tons was found, raised
about five feet from its nativebed by
tho ancients and secured on oaken
props. Every projecting point had
been taken off, so that the exposed
surface was smooth. Whoever the
workers may have been, many centu
ries must have passed since their mines
were abandoned. The trenches and
openings have been filled up, or nearly
so. Monstrous trees have grown over
their work and fallen to decay, other
generations of trees springing up.
When the mines were rediscovered,
decayed trunks of large trees were ly
ing over tho works, while a heavy
growth of live timber stood on the
ground.
Height of Different Nationalities.
The English professional classes are
the tallest of adult males, attaining
tho average height of five feet nine
and one-fourth inches. Taken right
through, the English and ' American
races are approximately of the same
height. Most European nations aver
age, for the adult male, five feet six
inches; but tbo Austrians, Spaniards
end Portuguese just fall short of this
standard.

And the Strange Disappearance of
a Watermelon.
It was four o'clock on Sunday after
noon in the month of Julv. The air
had been hot and suitry, but a light,
cool breeze had sprung up and occa
sional cirrus clouds overspread the Bun,
and for awhile subdued his fierceness.
We were all out on the piazza as the
coolest place we could find my wife,
my sister-in-law and L The only sounds
that broke the Sabbath stillness were
tho hum of an occasional vagrant bum
blebee or the fragmentary song of a
mocking bird in a neighboring elm,
who lazily trolled a stave of melody
now and then as a sample of what he
could do in the cool of the morning or
after a light shower, when the condi
tions would be favorable to exertion.
Annie,", said I, "suppose to relieve
the deadly dullness of the afternoon,
that we go out and pull the big water
melon and send for Cot Pemberton's
folks to come over and help us eat it"
"Is it ripe yet?" she inquired, sleepi
ly, brushing away a troublesome fly
that had impudently - settled on her
hair.
, "Yes, I think so. , I was out yester
day with Julius, and we thumped it
and concluded it would be fully ripe by
to- morrow or next day. But 1 think it
is perfectly safe to pull it to-day."
"Well, if you're sure, dear, we'll go.
But how can we get it up to the house?
It's too big to tote."
"I'll step around to Julius' cabin and
ask him to go down with the wheelbar
row and bring it up," I replied.
Julius was an elderly colored man
who worked on the plantation and
lived in a 6m all house on ' the place, a
few rods from my own residence. His
daughter was our cook, and other mem
bers of his family served us in differ
ent capacities, i,
As I turned the corner of the , house I
saw Julius coming up the lane. He
had on his Sunday clothes and was
probably returning from the afternoon
meeting at the Sandy Bun . Baptist
church, of which he was a leading mem
ber and deacon.
"Julius," I said, "we are going out
to pull the big watermelon . and we
want you to take the wheelbarrow and
go with us and bring it up to the
house."
"Does yer reckon dat watermillun's
ripe yit, '.- sah?" . said Julius. "Didn't
'pear ter me it went quite plunk enufl
yestiddy fer ter be. pull befor' ter
morrer."
"I think it is ripe enough, Julius."
"Mawning .'ud bo a better time fei
ter pull it, sah, w'en do night air an
de jew's done cool it off nice."
"Probably that's true enough, but
we'll put it on ice and that will cool it,
and I'm afraid if we leave it too long
some one will steal it '
"I 'spec's dat's so," said the old man
with a confirmatory shake of the head.
"Yer takes chances w'en yer pulls it,
en yer takes chances w'en yer don'.
Dey's a lot er po' white trash round
beah w'at ain' none too good fer ter
steal it I seed some un 'em loafin'
'long de big road on mer way home f um
chu'eh jes' now. ; I has ter watch mer
own chicken coop to keep chick'ns 'nuff
fer Sunday eatinY I'll go en git de
w'eelborrow,"
As the old man turned to go away he
bes-an to limp and put his hand to his
knee with an exclamation of pain.
"What's the matter, Julius?" asked
my wife. ,
"Yes, Uncle Julius, what ails you?"
echoed her sweet young sister. "Did
you stump your toe?"
"No, miss, it's dat mis'able rheumatiz.
It ketches me now an', den in. de lef
knee so I can't hardly draw my bref.
Oh, Lawdy,", he added between his
clenched teeth, "but dat do hurt! Ouch!
It's a little better now," he said after a
moment, "but I doan' b lieve 1 kin roll
dat w'eelborrow out ter de watermillun
patch en back. Ef it's all de same ter
vo sah, I'll go roun' ter my house en
sen Tom ter take my place, w'iles
rubs some linimum on my laig."
"That'll be all right, Julius," I said,
and the old man, hobbling, disappeared
around the corner of the house. Tom
was a lubberly, sleepy-looking negro
boy of about fifteen, related to Julius'
wife, in some degree and living with
them. .
The old man came back in about five
minutes. He walked slowly and seemed
very careful about bearing his weight
on the afflicted member.
"I Bent 'Liza Jane fer. to wake Tom
up," he said. "He's down in de orchard
asleep under a tree soinewhar. It takes
a minute er so fer ter wake 'im itp.
'Liza Jane knows how ter do it - She
tickles 'im in de nose or der yeah wid a
broomstraw. Hollerin' doan' do no
good. Dat boy is one er de Seben
Sleepers. Ile'swuss'n his gran'daddy
used tor be."
"Was his grandfather a deep sleeper,
Unci Julius?" asked my wife's sister.
"Oh, yas, Miss Mabel," said. Julius,
gravely. "He wuz a monst'u3 pow'ful
sleeper. He slep' fer a mont once."
"Dear me, Uncle Julius, you must be
joking," said my sister-in-law, incredu
lously. I thought she put it mildly. .
"Oh, no, ma'am, I ain' jokin'. I nevei
jokes on ser'ous subjeo's. " I wuz dert
w'en it all happen. Hit wuz a inonst'uE
quaro thing."
"Sit down. Uncle Julius, and tell ui
about it," said Mabel, for she dearlj
loved a story and spent much of ho:
time "drawing out" the colored peopli
in the neighborhood.
The old man took off his bat ant
seated himself on the top step of th
piazza. His movements were some
what stiff, und he was very careful t
get his left leg in a comfortable po
sition. . ';- '
"Tom's gran' daddy wu?ijame Skun-
dus," he began. "He had 'a brndder
name Tushus en ernudder nameOottus
en ernudder namo Squinehus." The
old man paused a moment and gave
las leg another hitch.
"But ea I was a-saying, dis yere
