THE SCRANTON TRIBUNE-THURSDAY MORI iG, OCTOBER 4, 1894:
SAM DAVtSES BY THE DOZEN.
ChrUtlun Names Amount to but Little
lu the Missouri Backwoods
While passing through the state house
the olher day the writer ran across a gen
tleman who was a conspicuous figure in
western Missouri about the time the war
of -the rebellion commenced. He wag
fchcriff of one of the back counties and as
such bad to deal with bd and dangerous
men. At table the question caine up as to
the nunilier of persons who went under as
sumed names and those who had other
names thrust upon them. He said that in
hi part of the Btiit nearly every other per
son had some mistimed name.
"Cut," he continued, "the most laugha
ble exhibition of aliases 1 ever saw I met
in the fall of 1800. Our grand jury had
made a presentment against one Samuel
Davis for stealing some pigs and the pa
per were placed in my hands for service.
Davis lived over in the next county, at or
near a town named Jim's Hollow, and to
this place I went. There were fifteen
houses iu the place. After taking a sur
vey of the places, I made up my mind that
. I had a curious crowd to deal with and
poverutd myself accordingly. Selecting
the saloon having the largest crowd, I
wulked np to the bar, called for a cigar
and after smoking a few minutes took the
proprietor aside and inquired if he knew a
man living there named Samuel Davis.
"'Samuel Davis? Let me see, what
other name did he go by? There are six
Suinuel Davises living iu this town, and
unless you can tell the name the boys gave
him you might as well look for oranges on
au iceberg. Now there is old Sum Davis,
who at one time lived iu Texas, and who
has been pounded up iu so many fights
that his back stands up like the hump on
a camel. The Ihjjs call him Old Hump
Davis. Then there is Sam Davis, who
usiHltobu an overseer of a plantation iu.
South l.uolitm. Well, one duy, as the
. story goes, he attempted to maul an old
slave, ami the fellow turned on him and
like t,o "chawed" all the skin off his face,
aud ever since that time he has been
known as Skin Davis.
" 'Yoii see that little old man over there
with one ear gone? In IS-1'.I he was one of
the most prosperous farmers in these parts,
but one day a circus came this way and he
fell iu love with a little dancer, sold his
farm, went after her, spent all his money,
the n atti-mpted to kill her, but the little
heel kicker would not have it that way
and send the keen edge of a carving knife
through his ear. Now the boys call him
I .op Knred Davis. That tall fellow leaning
in;uiust tiie counter with oiie-half of his
nose gone used to have a wart on the end
of it. ils big as n goose egg. One day a big
fellow from the mountains came down
here, ami when that nose and wart got iu
his way he pulled out an old navy and shot
the wart and part of the nose oil, and now
iu four counties he is known as Short Nose
Davis.
"'You se,e that corpulent miiu at the
third table playing cards, with no hair on
his head ? In 1K"9 be went across the plains
to California iu search of gold, lie didn't
find much gold, but struck an Indian trail,
and several old bucks struck him, uud
when they parted the bucks had all his
hair and he had some knowledge of the
Indians Since that time he has been
known as Hiihlhejid Davis. That littleman
sleeping on tiie bench makes his living
gathering huckleberries, and we call him
Jluekclberry Davis. So you see, stranger,
if you want to find Samuel Davis you must
ti i-.-t. know his nickname.'
"I remained around this place five days
and mude the acquaintance of the entire
Davis tribe uud their families, but failed
to get my man, and afterward the county
commissioner of my county secured the
services of the best local detective, and he
remained in Jim'sHollow for over a month,
but failed to locate the Samuel Davis who

The liuuka of Newfoundland.
The finest codfish in the world are caught
on the banks of Newfoundland. These
banks have no connection with the shores
of the islands, from which indeed the
nearest is almost 100 miles distant They
are really great rocky heights rising from
the bottom of the sea. The great bank
measures MO miles from north to south,
and from east to west it measures iu places
3K) niiln. On this bank the depth of
water varies from 50 to 300 feet, but the
depth around it is from 10,000 to 150,000
feet.
The fishing grounds or "cod meadow,"
as they are called do not cover the whole
bank, but are about 200 miles long by 67
broad. Though these have been fished for
400 years the cod are as plentiful as ever.
To the east of the great bank lies the
' outer or false bank, where the sea Is from
3uO to 600 feet deep. Tiie cod caught on
the banks are finer and larger than the fish
taken of) the Labrador coast. This is sup
posed to be due to the fact that they have
reached the age of four years and upward,
ut which agetlieir habits lead them to feed
ou the banks in preference to the shore,
where the yoonger fish remain all the year.

Where Barley la Cultivated.
Barley extends over a wider climatic
range than any of the other grains, and is
successfully cultivated over a greater
breadth of the globe than any other cereal.
It flourishes under the heat and drought
of the borders of the torrid zone, and
grows sturdily and maturely on the north
ern verge of the temperate zone, ripening
nnd thriving under various 'adverse cir
cumstauces which wheat is wholly una bio
to resist. Hurley is found In the Faroe

Colo 1 Artist.
A well known citizen yesterday said, "In
West Philadelphia there is a colored artist
of no mean fame, whose landscapes are of
the highest order of painting." At the
Centennial exhibition in 1870 a young col

her art figures and molding lu plastic,

Thirty years ago a kindly German pas

homeless orphans in the city in which he
lived, took three of them Into his own
home, appealing to Christians for aid to

into useful, good citizens.

cities of the west are the result of this lit

Savage la Modern Hotel.
Grim old Chief Standing. Bear (of tf I
Sioux), Black Eagle, Lost Horse and the
rest of them had some experience on their
arrival at San Francisco that made them
more stoical than ever. As they stepped
Into the Baldwin, feathers awry and ver
milion on their faces, they were at once
conducted to the elevator, as Clerk Har
denburgh had assigned them to rooms on
the fourth floor. The elevator door was
slummed and the lift proceeded to get in
its work. Then it was that the eyes of
every individual Indian started from their
sockets. The savages gave some big gasps
and held their hands over their belts. Not
a groan escaped them, but it was plain
that they were as near surprised as Indians
could be. Chadun, thirty miles from Pine
Kidge, having been the biggest town they
had been familiar with, the elevator
system was new to them, and they let it be
known that they were not positive as to
the safety of the "house which went up
and down in the air," the first they had
seen.
When the chieftains got ready to go to
bed they examined the mattresses and the
pillows critically, and finally concluded it
was utterly impossible to sleep upon them.
So after throwing open every window till
the night breezes played about like a
whirlwind they dismantled completely
the bedsteads, stacked up the mattresses,
pillows and coverlets against the walls,
and then wrapping themselves only in the
blankets 'retired on the floor to be com
fortable. Next morning when they went in to
breakfast the waiters showed them the
bills of fare. Each warrior scanned his
carefully and seemed to be lostiu thought.
"Give us plenty meat, coffee, bread," at
last said old Standing Bear. "These make
Indian fat. He want nothing else." Plenty
of each was brought, and the red men, dis
carding knives and forks, sailed in with
their liugers. Sun Francisco News-Letter.
Mr. lieecher's Last Day.
Upon the afternoon that the dear church
parlor was elegant with the so much
needed enlargement, and the carpet, which
.Mr. Beecher had selected on the floor, aud
new furniture all iu, nothing seemed
wanted but a mantel over the simulated
fireplace, which I was commissioned to se
lect. 1 greatly desired Mr. Beecher's help
in doing this, but his work on the "The
Life of Christ" was now progressing so
fairly that I disliked to ask him to go with
me, as 1 knew before we would be suited
it might occupy a large portion of the day.
But in the evening be inquired how much
more of the work on the parlors I should
expect to do. I told him, adding, "If your
work did not need all your time I should
ask your aid in selecting the manteL" He
made no reply. That was sufficient, ar.l I
understood that he could not go with me.
But the next morning at breakfast he
gravely asked, "Have you ordered the
COUH'?"
"For what?" I asked.
"Didn't you order me to go with you to
select that mantel, and did I ever disobey
your orders?" And to my relief he went
with me.
On this his last day in the outer world
we spent most of the time looking through
furniture stores und were successful in our
search.
In this last blessed ride together I never
knew him so inclined to talk when riding,
or in such a tender, happy frame of mind;
everything he spoke of seemed golden col
orcd.
Once he said, laughing: "I am glad you
made me take this ride. I have been work'
iug so steadily for a day or two my head
feels tired, but this ride quite brightens
me up." Mrs. nenry Ward Beecher In
Ladies' Home Journal.
Fast Train Are the Safest.
Superintendent Darlington, of the Penn
sylvania lines, is of the opinion that fast
trains are the safest, and unless there is a
defect in the track an accident seldom hap
pens to them. "Our No. 7," says he, "is
known to be an exceedingly fast train, and
every one keeps out of its way. At
Knightstown, for instance, where our fast
trains pass through at nearly sixty miles
an hour, no one has ever been hurt. The
people know the trains catmot be stopped
in a second and govern themselves accord
ingly. It is in towns where there are slow
ordinances that the people are hurt. They
know the trains are compelled to run slow
and take their time about getting across
the track.
"The experience of railroad men is that
fast trains are the safest. In the event of
cattle on the track it is better, too, to hit
them hard than easy. I was on the engine
of a freight train once when we ran into a
flock of sheep. The animals were huddled
together around the bellwether, and my
hair began to rise. I thought surely we
would "be thrown from the track. The
engineer put on a full head of steam and
struck the flock at great speed. The en
gine threw the sheep to one side like chaff.
Had he tried to stop or run slowly the en
gine would have been derailed." Indian

The Glories of the Yosemlte.
An English traveler stood looking at the
glories ot Yosemite far the first time. He
bad journeyed 3,000 miles to see the
wonderful valley. Before him in sol
emn grandeur rose the Cathedral Rock
The Three Brothers and the Sentinel
Dome. The Bridal Veil falls, dissolving
in a feathery mist as the waters descended
the tremendous precipice, lit up with va
ried tmts the somber majesty of the scene,
while El Capitan, mighty, overpowering,
unapproachable, seemed to frown sternly
over all. The traveler became conscious
he was not alone. At bis side, apparently
lost in wonder, stood a stranger looking at
the marvelous scene. He addressed the
stranger.
"Is not this stupendous?"
The stranger bowed bis head, as If lie
felt the Inability of words to describe his
emotions. ,
"Do you think," pursued the traveler,
"that this terrific gorge was caused by
some Titanic upheaval from below? Oris
it the result of glacial action? What are
your views, if any, as to"
"My views," blandly Interposed the
stranger, opening a valise containing
photographs be carried in his band, are
only tl.50 a dozen, and cheap at twice the
money. Permit me to show you a few
tuunnles." Yankee Blade.

From heaven she stole a bit of sky
To beam former In her eye.

And snatched a trembling drop of dew

And so, amid all hope and fours,

BABY'S NURSING BOTTLE.
Railroad Incident In 'Which Ever
Pussenger Become Interested.
A few days ago a baby left to wn by train.
To be sure there were others the mother
and father and the baby's nurse. But
these didn't count, for it was the first baby.
The dining car attachment to the baby's
train was a nursing bottle.
The members of the group had disposed
themselves comfortably in the car, and it
was just drawing out of the station when
the nurse discovered that the baby's nurs
ing bottle was missing. Search was made
for It everywhere on the floor, in the bags,
even in the pockets of the unhappy futher;
there was the nice little pail of cold milk
intended to fill the bottle, there was the
package of baby food, there was everything
but the bottle.
A day's journey without a nursicg bottle!
"And she's too little to drink a thing!"
wailed the young mother.
Under such unusual circumstances of
storm and stress as this, there was but one
thing to do to call the porter. And they
did it.
The porter reflected. They might tele-
raph on to the next, station, he finally
suggested. "Telegraph to the station
master to have a man meet the train with
baby's nursing bottle."
"Oh, yes!" gasped the mother with an
air of relief.
"Just the thing," said the father gladly,
aud followed the griuuing porter down the
car.
"See here," said the young man slipping
bill into the black hand, "you'd better
tend to the matter and telegraph on ahead
to half a dozen stations 'or so, and have
bottles sent down. The first one might
miss, you know, aud we must be sure and
have a bottle."
"Yes, sir," said the porter. "I under
stand."
And evidently he did, for when the
first station he had telegraphed to was
reached, in came a youth with a nursing
bottle. It was put to work at once and
quiet brooded over the car. At the next
statiou there came in a youth with a nurs
ing bottle. This was gladly received as
understudy for the first iu case of disaster.
When the traiu stopped again another
nursing bottle appeared iu the doorwav,
Then the passengers began to smile, and
the next station began to be anticipated
by them.
Sure enough, at the next statiou the
most prominent person on the station plat
form was a mau with one of those unmis
takable bottles. Then people laughed, and
the only unconcerned person in the car was
the baldheaded one for whom all this was
going on.
At the next station another man and an
other bottle. Then the young mother be
gan to get hysterical. "We're perfect
lghtsl" she was heard to whisper excit
edly. "We're not an orphan asylum or a
baby farm."
Then the young father was seen to go
hastily out and interview the porter once
more. This time the niruium of exchange
was silver. The porter had evidently
promised to be of a second service, and
possibly a greater one. New Ydfk World.
Brother Against Brother.
Not far from Standing Rock is an old
deserted house where once lived the Wel
come family, composed of the old mother
and her two sons, Frank aud George.
frank, having fallen m love with a south
em girl, went south and soon obtained
possession of a large plantation.
The great civil war soon commenced.
Frank Welcome joined the Confederate
forces, and his brother George after much
begging got permission to enlist in the
Union army.
It was after the battle of Fair Oaks that
George received the news of the death of
his mother, which was caused by a broken
heart and the enlistment of Frank in the
Confederate army. George felt much hurt
by his brother's actionand longed for re
venge, which soon came.
A short time after his mother s death he
was transferred, his regiment being or
dered to storm part of a Confederate
breastworks. There was some smart skir
mishing and a hot contest, but the Union
forces gained the parapet. George wasone
of the first to get on it. Already two
southerners had met their death by his
bayonet and he was about to bayonet the
third.
He hesitated. A wild gleam of joy.
mingled with madness, lit up his eyes, and
for a moment he stood still.
The Confederate had drawn his pistol
and was about to fire, when he ulo
stopped. Something uncontrollable seemed
to prevent the one from firing and the
other from sending a bayonet through him.
Suddenly a stray bullet entered George's
heart and he dropped his gun. The bayo
net wounded the southerner, and the - ext
instant George fell in his brother's arms.
The next morning the two brothers were
found dead close beside each other. Cor.

Large Kats, Sinull Bottles.
Lord Albemarle told Mrs. Beecher Stowe
when she was in England a really witty
and amusing story about the Duke of
Wellington, which was, in fact, a squib of
his own reflecting on the high banded au
tocracy of the duke in the later days of his
command ot the army. Sitting next
lady at dinner who had a smelling bottle
containing musk, the duke is alleged to
have said to her, "In India ladies put
muskrats into their smelling bottles.
"They must be very small rats, then," the
lady observed.
"Not at all about the size of Euglis!

be very largo." "Notutall no bigger than
yours." When the gentlemen entered the
drawing room, Lord Fitzroy bomerset whis

Organ Grinder and Their Tunes,
In the selection ot tunes many of the
grinders use their own judgment, and in
this they are guided by the musical taste
of the locality which they propose
"work." Those who play here at home
will choose such melodies as "Mary
Green," "Danny by My Side," "Ta-ra-rn
boom-de-ay," "Kelly's Masuuerado Ball
and such selections of a lively, sprightly
nature. Those who go to the small towns
in neighboring states are wise enough to
know that "Marguerite," "jThe Heart
Bowed Down" or "The Blue Bolls
Scotland" will take best, while the
grinders who winter in the south are alive
to the fact that "Dixie," "The Arkausaw
Traveler" and "That Pretty Yellow Gal
will appeal better to the taste and pockets
of the people in that locality. In the

An Excuse That Was Too Weak.
As two Portland police were taking to
the station a man who had been having a
great old celebration in his house, he asked
why he was arrested.
"Because you were making too much

"I was only talking."
"You talked too loud."

A maid? She marks her favorito swain
With pleasure, though much more with

And thinks what bliss her bliss must be
Who wins one kiss from such as he;
And chides herself for tiwugut so rude,
