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.

with delightful recklessness. In fact

' 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

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. St Louis Republic
