Stories from the Marsh Country
Round About Winamac, Ind.
Comfort .4. Irrrmaen't I'nlqur Manner of
llMlne of III Some Stories
That Are Told To-lT of the
VT.ti-i Kendwed.
When Pulaski county was first settled,
in 1 h.is. a class of Indian traders ami
s.tx-k thieves overran the county and
terrorized the law-ahidinpr pioneers till
forlearance ceased to Ik. a virtue with
tli. 'Hi. and they met in a mass conven
tion anl nominated and elected Com
fort A. Freemaen their justice of the
peace. "Spiire Freemaen. says a t'hi
cajro Trihunc correspondent, possessed
but a slight idea of what the state stat
ues contained, therefore his justice
court was run upon the appearance and
character of the charges preferred; as
the "squire termed it: "Common horse
sense and general principles in evi
dence." He held his court tinder a
cluster of plum trees that was thickly
covered with grapevines. A stump of
a tree he used as a table. The jury used
a hewed loir for their seats: the specta
tors used the most convenient spots on
the ground. Early reminiscences, as
told by the fld settlers, say that in the
early part of 1 Wilhelm liestrux's
cow wandered far away from her pas
ture field of water lilies and cattails
and no trace of her wherealiouts was to
Ik- found until the following sprinr.
when a worthless character and land
sapiatter by the name of McTurtle had
the cow in his pos.ses.sion ami refused to
rive her up. Mr. Rest nix replevied the
cow. and evidence during the trial was
in favor of Mr. Kestrux. and the court
so decided. The justice of the peace,
while in the act of entering his verdict
UMn his docket, overheard McTurtle
remarking: "Nothing1 been scd 'liout
that calf." His honor was egotistical,
and. walking up to him. seized him by
the throat. "Say. you cow thief, rive
up that calf or I'll pound niy'erheads
out of you." The calf was jriven up.
Charles Itlackstone. heinjr charged
with stealing a slalt-sided. razor-back
hof, the evidence was arainst him.
and the court instructed his bailitf to
apply fifty lashes to the convicted
man's back. I'pon adjournment of the
court the bailitf went out to find a
rood ox pad. and during his absence
the attorney for I.lackstone filed a hearing-for
a new trial. The court agreed
to hear the argument and adjourned for
dinner. In the meantime the bailiff
returned and escorted the prisoner into
the timlicr and carried out tin-court's
instructions, and Itlackstone. not under
standing a motion for a new trial was
to le heard, entered not a word of pro
test against the whipping? received and
Went back to the court, which was
then in session. His attorney was
pleading for a new trial. I.lackstone
.lid not understand this, and exclaimed:
.r. Mt snakes, squire. I have had one
whaling" The court w as astonished,
and said "Yank that drunken cuss out
of here aim hiiiii'I a title K.-t of grease
lit of i in His attorney protested,
and the court threatened tlieii to tar
and feather the attorney if he "didn't

and Mas returned to the court. He
found Ins attorney in a heated contro
versy with the court. Mr. lilackstoiie
fell llfa.lt his knees and pleaded the
curt to make that lawyer "shet up" or
he "would l-e handed for that hog yet.
and the wild fern would wave over his
grave by the I'ink Mink." The court
aw aliened to the fact that something
was wrong, and proceeded to kick the
lutilifY out of the room.
The squire's wife notified him one
day they were out of meal and he at
once tilled a sack with shelled corn
and started to what is known as the
"N iggerhead Flutter mill." Upon his
arrival he found the mill owner was
absent, and as the squire did not want
to make the second trip he filled the
hopiHT ami started the burrs to grind
ing;. It Wing1 a slow and tedious job
lie concluded to take a nap. which he
did. and in an hour or so he woke up
and went to the meal-catch bin and
discovered several dogs lapping1 up the
meal as it came from the grinding'
burrs. The squire went home roaring1
mad and Lssued a warrant for the mill
owner and sat in judgment upon the
trial and fined the mill owner five
bushels of meal.
Wilson Cornell was charped with
selling1 whisky to the Indians. During1
a heated controversy Wtween the op
posing counsel the squire and Cornell
slippeil out the courtroom and they
were soon seen rolling1 a ten-palloii keg1
into the squire's cabin. The court
then decided that the act upon which
this charge was founded had expired
when Indiana Wcame a state and that
an Indian's evidence was no -food until
he lui ainf a citizen.
As time progressed "Squire Freemaen
blossomed as an attorney at law. His
shingle read as follows:

The monthly output from the mine

RIDING IN A RICKISHA.
KiHrii'mp of an A merit-ail Trait-ler nith
the lluniiill llor'tt iif l:tti:iii.
The most novel, and withal natu
ral, sensation I ever experienced re-o-;irdin
rickishas and their liuman
horse was 011 a certain occasion when
drivino-. or rather beiii"; pulled, in
Tokyo, writes Walter Korcrs Fumes
in Scpti-mlu-r I.ippincott". I wa idly
watchintr a rickisha ahead of me. which
was ImiwIiiio- aloiio- at a o;oo.Hy rate
arid contained two younjr Japanese
o-irls most elaborately dres-d. All of
a sudden, to my horror and alarm, t he
hub of the rickisha stru.-k sharply
ar:iinst the hub of another ric'.iish 5o
inr in the opposite direction with so
severe a shock that their collie pitched
forward n hi head, breaking Ixith
siiafis. and the two o-irls rolled out on
top of him. Were it not for the mud
the tumble was in reality no more se
vere nor .lanjjvrous than that of fall-ino-oir
a chair. Nevertheless, without
stopping t. reason. I took an instan
taneous llyino; leap over my collie's
shoulder, laudino; close to the over
turned rickisha. sci.ed a rirl in each
hand and dra o-ovd them clear of the
wreck and the cast steed. Of course
without the oreatest promptitude on
the part of the collie on the "round,
entanovd in the harness, would in his
struo-o-les kick the f-irls" brains out or
else o-et up snortino-and terrilied and
trample them to death Wfore he bolt
ed up the street with the broken shaft
ilaiiLrl:nr at hi heels.
I have a recollection of even think
ing, as soon as the two o-irls were in
a place of safety, that I outrht to da rt
back and sit on the collie's head w hile
some one (." it th' harness off. Ah. but
the two poor Japanese maidens! What
could have Wen their sensations when
they Were suddenly and rudely
o-rabled by a wild-lookino- foreigner,
ilrao-o-ed through the mud and bundled
up against a wall? All. forsooth, be
cause that bio-, uo-ly foivio-iicr was
afraid of a very timid, apologetic and
bruised little collie.

CHINESE WARRIORS.
PrmctlelnK with How ud Arrowi- Motnb
Shell Fllltl with Mad.
liev. Y. E. Crocker, who went from
Louisville as a Chinese missionary,
writes of the war in China as follows,
says the Iouisville Courier-Journal:
Just outsi.le the city of Chinjf Chow
Fu is a jrarrison of Tartar isohliers. As
I walked on the wall one day I saw
v.m.. u.v-.i and arrows: Just think,
lmws and arrows in this day of repeat
ing rilles and Krupp g-uns!
"The frovernmeiit of China is not
Chinese, hut Tartar. Over three hun
dred years ao a Chinaman by the
nuiite of Li drove the last emperor of
the Minjr dynasty from his throne in
Pekin. This emperor wa sent leyond
the yreat Chinese wall to the nation of
tieree Tartar?., who lived in tents ami
enframed in much war. The Tartar
kin' came down ami drove out Mr. Li.
and instead of reinstating the rightful
emperor. tHk the throne himself. He
onlereil the Chinese men to shave the
front part of their heads and plait their
hair into a eue. and the women to uu
bind theirs. The men olieyed. the
women did not. The Tartar women do
not bind their feet, and the court
ladies and most of the soldiers" wives
are Tartars. So really China is a sul
jeet nation to an outside power. There
is very little connection Wtween the
Iforcmtiiciit and the people. The pres
ent ciuiH-ror has just recently come of
ajjv and some think that he will 1 h fa
vorable to many reforms in China, lit
is studying Knjflish, and has inter
course with the representatives from
foreign (fovernnteiits. China has no
ooiise'enee, and until the name of Jesus
shall teach them to have a conscience
no kind of reform or advance in science
can help them. They have fine silver
mines, tine (fold mines, fine old wells,
tine resources as yet untouched, and it
is impossible to utilize them until
China can di-jH-nd on a Chinaman to do
his duty conscientiously.
"lr. Crawford was telling- how. in the
war with France several years ajro. a
shell was shot from a Chinese jruu into
a French skip, and they exected an
explosion which would seriously in
jure the vessel. It did not explode.
They jrot skilled men to extract the
dangerous shell from the timWrs of
the ship, and, after much care, the
shell was taken out . and carefully
oened. to W found tilled with nuiil!
The wily Chinamen, having- no eon
science, extracted the powder, sold it
and put in the mud."
VILLAGE LIFE IN MEXICO.
A Humdrum KilHlrncr with Hut Few At-traf-tioiiii.
A glance alout the streets reveals a
great monotony of color and outline,
writes T. J. Hughes, in the Chautau
qiian. 1'nbrokeii lines of one story
houses form narrow, dirty, guttcrlike
streets. The yards and gardens which
make, with their seuiitropieal trees
and plants, delightful interior courts,
whose abundant foliage hides the
houses of the village at a distant view,
arc now themselves concealed, and
everything looks barren and desolate.
Theonlv relief is the plaza with the
cool and delightful shade of thickly
planted orange, banana and palm trees.
The ancient apjH-arance of houses
and streets is more like what one
would expect to find in Jerusalem than
in a nineteenth century republic.
ricntal features are everywhere com
mon women carrying immense water
jars, passing to and fro: sleepy-eyed,
lazy donkeys loaded with cane until
n .tiling but their ears are in sight,
prodded along by the sharp-pointed
sticks of merciless masters; dirtv.
rasrged and often naked children wal
lowing in the dust; and great-wheeled,
ancient-looking' ox-carts, with immense

Life among the young folks is of but
few attractions to one who has cxcri

States. All innocent amusements prac
ticed by us are unknow n. There are
no parties, no reading circles, no put-
lie gaiiieruigs oi young H-ople. .o
means are employed to bring the sexes
together to enjoy each other's society,

SOURCES OF THE MISSOURI.

Since t he t ime when Lew i and Clark
ascended the Missouri river in a row
l-oat. occupying the Wttcr part of the
years I il--.'-.'!. euiped by the 1'iiitc.
States government for the purMse .l
exploring the country along and at tin
source of the Missouri river, the stream
has become familiar as far as the head
of navigation. Fort lU-nt..ii. Mont. Hc
yoiu! that jxiint says the New- York
Kveiiing Pist. it is yet comparatively
unknown. The actual headwater of
the Missouri, or what should Ih known
a such had it Urn intelligently named,
is Laey's or Shoshone lake, in the
National park. This lake, a consider
able IkmIv of water, is the source of the
Ma.lison river and forms w ith the river
the drainage outlet for most of the
waters of that 'x.rtion of the National
park. The Callatin. or left source of
the Missouri, is formed by two streams,
the Fast ami West tiallatin. which
unite almut a mile alve its junction
with the Missouri. The Ma.lison and
the i lallatin are lnth somew hat smal let
than the Jefferson. Had I'wis ami
Clarke ascended the Madison instead oi
the Jefferson, which. Wing the larger
stream, they naturally mistook for the
continuation of the Missouri, thev
would have discovered the famous
geysers; in Firehole basin. Shoshone
-akc. and all the country which is
incorporated within the limits of the
Rational park. 1 he l!ig Hole and the
""caverheail rivers How into the Jeflfer
. n at Twin Itridgcs. a few miles fr..,
the continence of the Jefferson with
the Missouri, so that in reality there
are six considerable rivers, all joining
one another w ithin a radius of a few
miles, which unite to form the Innt
river in the world, measured from the
gulf to the heart of the Kocky mountains.
They Must Cur.
Medical skill is at a rather low ebb
throughout Russia, and not without
cause. An American physician, tempt
ed by the enormous fees so freuently
paid by the nobility, went to St. Pe
tersburg and within a year had a lu
crative practice. Then he was called
in to attend a baron who was suffering
from lung trouble. The doctor gavt
his patient the In-st of care anil skill,
but the baron died, ami the widow
promptly sued the doctor for damages
for unskillful treatment. The uulucky
Amcrican was sentenced to pay a tine
of one thousand roubles and undergo
an imprisonment of thirty days. I'nder
the circumstance it is not surprising
that the physician left Russia as soon
as he got out of jail, and nothing cou Id
tempt him to return.

The Russian method f,,r young- girl
