A SON OF KIT CARSON. HOME AND FAMILY OF A DESCENDANT OF THE FAMOUS SCOUT. An Adobo Cabin In the Shade of a Spread ing Oak Up a Santa Monica Canyon Shel- ; tor. Sam Camon. lib Indian Wife and Their Dark Browed Offspring. When old Kit Carson died, full of fears aud Indian lights, ho left a sou, Who, resting content with the name Which his father had won, betook him self far from the strife of this world and built him a home under the suns of aoathern California. Far up in one of the canyons of Santa Monica he cut down a few sturdy cedars and built his shelter. Then he covered it with the mud which he dug from the bed of the mountain torrent flowing noisily at the bottom of the canyon. His house was on the hillside overlooking the stream and was shaded by a huge live oak, which spead its branches this way and that for his half Indian children to sit and swing upon. This was the home of Bam Carson, and just before he built his adobe he had taken to wife a comely Indian wom an whose tribe for oenturies had lived in the foothills of the Sierras Santa Monica, whence they could look out upon the blue Pacific, with Santa Cata liiia rising, a bine hump in the ocean, SO miles away. ' A wanderer up the canyon green un der the warm February sun found Mme. Carson sitting placidly on a stump in an onion field, mending her lord's jeans. She was Indian, andlndianlilce was wrinkled and worn and bent, though her eyes were still bright and sparkling. She looked at least 60 years old as she sat there, glancing cannily at me and then pointing out the ravages whioh storm and fire had made in past years. She put her Bewing down on her knee and in broken English, mixed with Mex ican Spanish and frequent expressive little grunts, she told me all their trou bles of the past The old Indian woman suddenly turned to watch three little dark browed children (hat were chasing one another along the hill's crest, their chubby bodies silhouetted against the blue sky beyond. "Mine all mine," she said proudly, "Sam's and mine. I have had seven children, four grown, three little. See?" and she pointed her wrinkled finger at the youngsters, now rolling gleefully down the hillside. "T'rantnlas, ohil'ren!" she screamed, "T'rantulas like the warm'earth on the sunny hills and come out and sting sometimes little ohil'ren dead," she ex plained, and then she started sewing again, leaving the youngsters and the tarantulas to their own devices. "How how old are yon?" the visitor ventured. The old woman dug thoughtfully into the dirt with one of her brown toes. Then she drew it back hastily beneath her skirt and looked over at the moun tains. "Maybe 49," she said, with a sodden smile. . "Oh, no, not so much as that" " Bhe thought again for a long time, watohmg the Pacific gleaming in the sunlight "Well, maybe 89 then," and she smiled contentedly. . The ocean breeze blew up the canyon, bringing with it the faint roar of the breakers. Occasionally one could hear the crack of a rifle, at which the old Indian woman never failed to glance np qnickly. Her sewing was almost done when Sam Carson, her husband, walked out of the thickets np the canyon and stalked lazily across the field, gun in hand and a small yellow dog at his heels. The wife arose quickly, and Sam sat down on the smooth stump. He was as brown as his Indian wife, his hair was gray, and his beard was grizzled. He spoke inalowtoned, deliberate fash ion, as most people do who live long under a semitropio sun. "Do yon see that little cur?" hesaid. "That darned little dog has just killed a wildcat " and the son of the old scout wiped his brow and prepared to tell the rest of his story. He had a reputation for thrilling and impossible tales. "Me and Baldy I named him after the old mountain over there me and Baldy, we was a-slyin through the un derbrush. I thought I'd shoot some gophers just for luck. Well, sir, I was standin in front of a big live oak, way up the canyon there where it gets narrer. All of a snddin I heard a whirrin noise in the air. I looked up, and bless me if there wasn't a big wildcat flying right, down on me. I gave one jump, bnt I expected the cat would have me the next lick. Oh, she was a big mi, I'm tellin yon. "But Baldy was there. Hejustsailed into that oat My, how Baldy did shake her," and Sam caressingly shied a lump of dirt at the diminutive cur's nose. It would have been an unpardon able insult to suggest that any wildcat would havemadetwomouthfuls of little Baldy. , "Did Baldy kill her?" "As dead as a snail, " said Sam. "Well, where is the skin of the cat anyway?" I asked. "Baldy ohewed him all np," said Sam thoughtfully. "Chewed him all ' up. Twasn't worth bringin home," and handing his rifle to his wife to car ry Sam walked slowly back among the onion sprouts and disappeared with her in the cabin under the big oak, Cor. New York Tribune. Voicing Little Onee. Fencing Is the latest fad for little (iris, whose older sisters have long been experts in the art Even tiny creatures of 7 or 6 are now taught to put them selves en garde and make their thrusts with delightful recklessness. In fact the fin de aieole little moid is quite a marvelous product of the times with her riding, fencing, ballet dancing, etc., aud it will be curious to see what will be the effect of these isms of the day on hw lata developmea. New York SSMi .: ' PoulhlllUee at Surgery, The extent to which the human body can be mutilated without causing death is beyond what most people think. Of course the removal of the largest limb is a familiar fact, but the successive re moval of all the limbs would in most cases result in nothing worse than in convenience. In tiie same way the in ternal organs may bo extirpated. This is facilitated by their quality. One kid ney may be removed, and the other will make up for the loss by doing double work. One eye may be taken out and the sight remain practically unimpair ed. Large portions of the brain may be removed with no injury to life or intel lect A portion of the intestines has been cut oat and the ends sewed togeth er, and their norma) action and func tion have not been interfered with. St Louis Qlobe-Demoorat Pop, and Their Beards. If we are to believe tho old proverb, prophets have always had boards for the faithful to swear by. Not so with the popes. From the time of St Peter down to the year 1153 the popes all wore full beards, but for the next tour centuries they were cleanly shaven. Then came a period of two centuries in which they again ware the beard, but from the year 1700 until the present time the smooth face alone has been seen in the papal line.
