Governor of Colorado Territory, had a good deal of trouble vith the Indians, and especially with their chief, Colorow. With a party of braves CUoplorow came to Denver one day, and after drinking heavily told his followers that he was going to kill McCook. The Governor had his office in a two-story building. and sat with his back to the door, with a looking-glass on the desk in front of him, so that he could see any one coming in without turning. MeCook was expecting some trouble with Coloroswr, and was seated at his desk when the Indian came in. Colorow had a pistol in his hand, and ap- proaching MeCook he stood by his side and granted: ‘‘ McCook liar!" Edwarl, o .

One of the lobsters queer feats is that purposely amputating his enormous and almost useless claws in time of real or fancied danger. He dreads thunder above all things, says a scientific writer, and when the peals are uncommonly loud or fre- quent he deftly drops his claws and takes to deep water with all possible speed. 1t is also said that anything irritating will cause a similar ex. hibition of this peculiar power. Boys who are acquainted with this curious fact in natural history often frequent the fish stalls of the larger cities and with straws tickle the imprisoned f Oh ance of having been through a machine. Lobsters thus deprived of their limbs soon grow few living creatures.

Boone collected some friends and and a night; then they came to where the Indians had killed a buffalo calf and were camped. Firing from a littie distance, they shot two Indians, and, rushing in, rescued the girls. On another occasion, when Boone had gone to visit a salt-lick with his brother, the Indians ambushed them and shot the latter.
