    THE WOMAN ON CRUTCHES.
The people rush madly in Washington
street
Past a woman who goes upon crutch?,
And she hears the swift tramping of hun
dreds of feet,
Ths pleajsaDt-faced woman on crutches!
And men who have triumphed and men
who are sad.
And lads who are eager and maids who
are glad,
Some going to honor and soma to the bad.
Meet the brave little woman on crutches.
In days that are dismal, In days that are
fair,
I meet the brave woman on crutches,
And a smile of contentment forever Is
here,
.je face of the woman on crutches.
And oft when the fates have been cruel
to me,
And Doubt with her brood sits where Cour
age should be.
And my pathway seems hard t am shamed
when I see
Her smiling away on her crutches.
A thousand press past her and hurry away,
Nor notice her there on her crutches
Bound for some place where she tol'.a
through the dny,
With always a smile on her crutches!
And many a man who has dreaded defeat
And looked In her face and gone bravely
to meet
.What the future might yield of the blttei
and sweet
Owes a debt to the woman on crutches!

White Rose of tlie Miamis
DOWN at Wabash, Ind., arrange
ments have just been completcl
lor the erection of a monument to one
of the strangest character In Aniri
tun history.
No stranger story than that of
France Slocum, whose descendants
are about to immortalize her memory
in bronze, has ever been told since the
I'ilgrim Fathers landed at Plymouth
Cock.
Corn of white parents, she was
stolen while a little girl by the In
dia-ns. She was reared In nn Indian
wigwam, married an Indian chief nnd
wa given up as dead by the surviving
members of her family. Years after
'wards her presence in nn Indian vil
lage was accidentally discovered by a
traveler, and in a most curious way
the news finally reached her brothers
nnd sisters. She, however, resisted all
their efforts to persuade her to return
to civilization, and she died as she had
lived, an Indian in everything but
birth. Among the savages nnd the
arly settlers of the west she was
known as the "White Cose of the Mi
amis," and as "The Lost Child of Wy
oming." Frances Slocum was the daughter of
Jonathan and Mary Slocum, Quakers,
who in 1771 moved from Connecticut
to Wilkesbarre, Fa., then a mere ham
let in the wilderness.
They were constantly exposed to the
attacks of the Indians, but it was not
until November, 177S, that three Dela
ware Indians, during the absence of
Mr. Slocum, stole up to the dwelling
and murdered two of the children and
the son of a neighbor, who were at
work outside.
Frances and her mother fled into
the house and hid, but Frances was
found in a closet and was carried
away by one of the Delaware, whi'e
the mother followed the red men and
implored them to restore her daugh
ter. Mr. Slocum on his return home
Undertook to follow the1 trail of the
Indians, but was obliged in the dence
forest to abandon the pursuit. A
month later the Slocum household was
aain assailed by the savages, who '
killed Mr. Slocum.
Repeated attempts were made to re
cover the lost child by Mrs. Slocum
and her sons. They obtained clews to
her occasionally through the reports
of government agents, but when they
visited the localities where she was
eaid to be held she had disappeared,
and the Indians themselves seemed to
have entered into a conspiracy to pre
vent her return, for they refused to
divulge the slightest information when
questioned concerning her.
Long before the opening of the nine
teenth century Frances had been car
ried west, as the Indians were forced
to retire before the approaching civil
ization, and the discovery of her
abiding place was purely accidental.
Col. George W. Ewing, an Indian
trader, whose home was at Logans
port, Ind., chanced one night in 1835
to be overtaken by darkness in the
vicinity of the Osage camp, known as
Deaf Man's village, in the western
part of Wabash county. lie applied
at the home of the chief for lodging
and was assigned the corner of tho
large room in the cabin occupied in
common by the chief, his squaw and
the two daughters. Ewing could not
sleep, and as he watched the move
ments of the squaw attending to the
household duties he noticed that her
demeanor differed somewhat from that
of the Indians, and also observed,
when she raised her arms end the
sleeves fell away, that the skin was
white.
Astonished at this, he questioned her
in the Indian tongue, and after some
hesitation she admitted that she was
not of Indian blood and spoke of her
abduction and her journey from Penn
sylvania west. Col. Ewing returned
home and later made another trip to
Deaf Man's villnge, where he was again
entertained by Frances, who went fur
ther into the details of her romantic
life.
Col. Ewing, with scarcely any hope of
finding her relatives, wrote a letter to
the postmistress of Wiikesborre, who
was also the editress of a local paper,
but she paid no uttention to the story
of Frances Slocum or the inquiry con
cerning her relatives, and threw the
letter aside. Two year afterwords it
was found by the editor of the paper,
John W. Forney, afterwards of the
Philadelphia Press, who printed the
matter, and, a copy of the paper fall
ing Into the hands of friends of the
Blocums, her brothers and sisters tt
out on a pilgrimage to LogsnsporU
They were met by Col. Ewing, who
accompanied them to Deaf Man's vil
lage, where an affecting Interview be
tween them and the lost sister took
place. She was stolid and indifferent
and regarded the visitors with suspi
cion. Tboy questioned her closely and
she gave them the history of herstrange
career. The brothers and sisters asked
her to go with them to Peru, but, evi
dently fearful of designs upon ber, the
refused. They went away and returned
ti dny or so afterwards and pressed her
to give up her Indian life and go back
to Pennsylvania, but ahe firmly de
clined to do so. She said the was happy
with her family and in the bosom of
her tribe; that she was growing old
and a change of conditions would short
en her days, and she desired, when she
died, pointing to the cemetery where
her body now lies, to rest with her hus
band and children In, that spot. Sor
rowing, the relatives bade her adieu
and returned to Pennsylvania. One or
two visits were mode her afterwards,
but the was not to be niuved from her
determination, and she died in the deso
late Indian village In 1S47 nnd was In
terred where she hnd directed her re
mains to be buried.
Frances had two daughters Kickes
equa, who married Peter Pondy, n
Miami, and Osawshequah. who married
a ha!f-breed, Joha Itroulliette. 'Both
daughters are dead, but their children
have often heard from Frances' lips
the story of her abduction. This is the
story as she told it:
"The Delaware Indians, after taking
me from the house, carried me over the
mountains a long way nnd hid me in a
cave. They had blankets and a bed
of leaves, and made me comfortable
for the night. We left early the next
morning, the Indians carrying me in
their arms. They gave me plenty to
eat, and as I felt better I stopped cry
ing. We finally reached an Indian vil
lage, where we staid some time, and the
chief, Tack-IIorse, placed me on a
horse and we traveled a long ways.
They dressed me up in Indian garments
and covi red me with bright beads. We
went to Sandusky and to Niagara and
spent two years, and then went to De
troit. 1 was then about 13 years old.
I was tuught never to trust the white
men ant) to avoid them at all times.
When I saw a white 1 always ran away
out of sight. I became a good marks
woman with the bow and arrow and en
gaged in all Indian sports. After three
years at Detroit we went to Fort Wayne
and staid there until after Gen. liar
mer's defeat by the Indians, at which
time all the women and children were
run off to the north. I lived with the
Delaware and married Little Turtle, a
chief. lie was cruel, and I left him
and married Chepokenah, "Dead Man,"
the Osage chief. I remember the defeat
of the Indians by Gen. Anthony Wayne.
After peace we returned to Fort Wayne,
and then, after the battle of Tippe
canoe, we came here to the Mississin
ewa." When the government order was
made for the removal of the Miamis
west of the Mississippi a special act of
congress was passed excepting Frances
Slocum and her family. She, in het
last sickness, refused all medical aid.
Her death, March 8, 1S47, was due to
pneumonia. Subsequently her rela
tives held funeral services in Sandusky,
one of her brothers, a minister, preach
ing the funeral sermon.
Her grave is on a high knoll overlook
ing the valley of the Mississinewa river
in Wabash county. The grave, at her
request, was dug shallow, the foster
mother of Frances having advised her
that if the body were not buried deep it
would be easy to throw off the earth in
the event of burial alive.
An elaborate programme for the un
veiling of the monument on May 17,
1900, has been prepared. All the sur
viving relatives of Francess will attend,
and some of them will deliver addresses.
Gov. Mount and the state orlicers, to
gether with numerous pioneer resi
dents of the state, have promised to at
tend and speak. The monument is a
plain white bronze shaft, nine feet high,
appropriately Inscribed, and will be un
veiled by two granddaughters of the
"White Uose." Chicago Tribune.
Power of a Child's Words.
"Deliver me from the unfavorable
criticism of a child," said an old actor,
"it hits the hardest. A year or two
ago," he continued, "we were playing
in a Cincinnati theater. I was cast for
the part of a doctor. The 'business' of
one of the scenes required that I
should come on the stage deeply ab
sorbed In thought and smoking a cigar
ette. I had noticed a family party in
one of the boxes nearest the stage. The
youngest member of tbe party, a little
boy, was completely wrapped up In
the play. It was all real to him. As I
came from the wings during the scene
In question I passed within a few
feet of the box in which he sat. He
turned to a lady who sat behind him,
and I distinctly heard him say, with
a gasp: 'Mamma, he' no doctorl He
smokes cigarettes.' I have never
smoked a cigarette in that scene since."

Too Obliging-.
Theameerof Afghanistan must sure
ly be u very obliging man, If a story told
of him be true. Not many years ago
a queeu's messenger, or some other of
ficial, was on his way to Cabul, when
he had the misfortune to be robbed.
He was in no way injured by tbe rob
bers, but the British government pre
ferred a complaint, which came duly
to the knowledge of the ameer. No
reply wa received, and the month
paused. At last the ameer wrote, an i
his letter showed the earnestness of
his desire to oblige the queen. "The
matter you mention," said the letter,
"has been thoroughly Investigated, and
not only have the robber of your tries
cenger been put to death, but all their
children, as well a their father and
grandfather. I hope this will give
satisfaction to her majesty the queen,"
Nevertheless, it I doubtful if It did.

In his article on "Secrets of the

Cole say we havo already advanced
since Zittel wrote, in 1895: "The prob
lem, where man first appeared on the
earth and from what form he sprang,
has. In spite of all efforts of modern
geology and anthropology, tip till now ,
found no solution." Dr. Dubois has re-
ceutly published his discovery of the

styled by him Pithecanthropus erectus,
associated with extinct Pliocene mam

seem to indicate an anthropoid of ex
ceptional eoological position, and prob
ably of exceptional faeulties. Dubois
discovery is, however, as yet a single
step, founded upon a single skeleton.
To some thinkers this step provides a
field of vision surpassing all thnt went
before; to others, the coming of man
remains, to this day, one of the pro
foundett secrets of the earth's crust.
