HAD NEWSPAPER SENSE,
An Incident That Admirably Illustrates
That Quality.
Walter B. Stevens, the secretary of
the Louisiana Purchase Exposition,
for which St. Louis is making great
preparations, was for many years con
nected with the Globe-Democrat and
was an especial favorite of Joe Mc-
Cullagh, its chief editor. Since 1883
Mr. Stevens has been a Washington
correspondent, and was recognized as
one of the best of the corp3. On one
occasion when Mr. Stevens was in St.
Louis Mr. McCullagh was entertain
ing some visitors in ills office, when
the conversation turned upon the dif
ference between men of equal intelli
gence in the matter of seeing more
than appeared on the surface of com
mon things.
"Why, I have a man in this of
fice," Mr. McCullagh declared, "who
can beat the world at such a game I'll
Bhow you what he can do."
He called through the speaking tube
and Mr. Stevens responded in person.
"Mr. Stevens." said the editor, "I
have got to have something to fill
about a column and a quarter in to
morrow's paper. I wish you would go
out into the street and write up the
first thing you come across. Don't
stay more than 30 minutes. I need
you for another assignment after you
are through with this."
At the stroke of the half hour in
walked Stovens with a batch of copy
In his hand.
"I haven't quite finished that arti
cle," he remarked, "but it will take
me hut a little while more."
"Oh, very well," said Mr. McCul
lagh, winking slyly at his guests, "but
be as quick as you can about it."
It was not very long before Stevens
returned, laid the finished manuscript
on his chief's desk, took his further or
ders and retired, whereupon Mr. Mc-
Cullagh and his friends examined
what he had written.
Mr. Stevens, it seems, had walked
as far as the nearest corner, where a
new building was in process of erec
tion. Apparently there was nothing
to be seen more than anyone could
see in nny unfinished building. Ho
was probably the only passer-by who
stopped and watched proceedings, and
he talked with tho contractor on the
curbstono about the little dummy
which was running up and down by
steam, supplying the bricks and mor
tar to the masons on the upper floors.
His article was a light hut thought
ful essay on "The Passing of the Hod
Carrier."
ATHLETICS AND BEAUTY.
Fxerclne Is Better Than I'liyslc to Iw
prow One's Looks.
American women are beginning to
realize that if they would preserve the
charms with which nature has en
dowed them they must pay attention
to physical exorcise. But there is
danger in excess of athleticism. One
journal goes so far as to declare ath
leticism tends to overdevelop the mus
cle and produces coarseness, and that
in their pursuit of exercise women
lose their beauty and grace. The de
teriorating influences of athleticism
are made responsible, too, according
to the same authority, for a new order
of untidy, clumsy and badly dressed
women. In the case of the girls of the
Neiss family of athletes this theory
Is at once and most emphatically dis
pelled. Tho oldest, Hermlne, although
barely 20, Is a splendidly built womdn.
Her pretty rounded and well-develop
ed arms must be stronger than many
a man's, but there Is not the slightest
suspicion of that exaggerated outline
which so often distinguishes the ath
lete. She attributes her unbroken
health to this constant round of exer
cise. Tho suggestion that a strict
course of diet was necessary to keep
them in good training amused these
German girls not a little. They have
to regulate tholr meals, however, but
like and eat whatever is goou. A good
hearty breakfast, luncheon between
the afternoon and evening perform
ance and the principal meal in the
evening after their work is over is the
order of their day. With their meals
these gymnasts, like others of their
sex, take red wine and occasionally
champagne, but they would scorn the
idea that they needed any influence to
give them pluck and courage. They dc
not know the meaning of fear.—Chi

being built to connect Valparaiso with

I U. S. MARSHAL. I

♦ BY TAPPAN AD HEY, ♦
6 Author of "The Klondike Stampede," Etc. ♦
Johnny Healy was troubled. He
was used to that. Twenty-five years
selling beads and blankets to border
Sioux and coming out without a
Scratch, he knew a few things. He
had not been sheriff at Fort Benton
for some years to no purpose.
Only a year before, the Indians had
determined to kill him, as the best
way of expressing their opinion of a
man who had come among them for
the sole purpose of selling them goods.
Two Indians died suddenly in conse
quence, and no one knows how, he had
been taken into the tribe; in place, it
seems, of one of those who had died.
Moreover, he might almost be called
a chief; for the man whose place he
took, and who had wanted to kill him,
was a chief. The Indian had been al
together in the wrong, and the trader
right, and that was their notion of
savage justice. This strange circum
stance, however, is not the story. It
was a fact, though, that the Chilkoots
had made liiin a Crow —"Klukwakiti-
shan" (Old Man of the Crows) they
called him.
Johnny Healey's trading post was
some distance off, so government
thought it well to make him a United
States marshal.
Johnny Healey.upon being appointed
marshal, being a man of experience,
saw it would make the work easier
to get the Indians to help him. It
would save him much trouble; besides,
it would please them. So he appointed
from among his own people, the Chil
koots, three skookum young men as
policemen.
Now Indians have their "had men"
the same as white people. There was
one fellow who was always making
trouble. Finally, he put a knife into
his squaw for some trifling matter and
the marshal had to send the police
men down to arrest him. They brought
him up handcuffed. He came willing
ly enough. The steamer to take him
to Sitka would not be up for two or
three weeks, and meanwhile he uid
not know what to do with his prison
er. He had no place to keep him. The
store consisted of a single room where
the goods were kept, with the living
room and kitchen behind. He could
not keep him there. At the side of the
building was a shed used for a store
room and entered through the store.
So he put him in there. That was no
place for him, though, and besides, it
would cost something to keep him until
tho steamer came, and the government
made no provision for such a contin
gency. The marshal scratched his head
and stroked his chin. Finally he hit
upon a plan. He called up the three
policemen and said to them:
"Go Inside and tell the man that if
ho will give me his word of honor to
l>e on hand when the steamer comes in
I will let him go free. Tell him that's
nie way white men do; that sometimes
they come hack even when they are
gqjng to be hanged." He hoped tho
plan would work. There was no al
ternative.
The policeman went inside and in a
short while they came out and an
nounced that the prisoner said "All
right." So ho unlocked the handcuffs
and the man walked out. And he kept
his promise. Every few days he came
up to the shore to inquire about the
Steamboat. Finally the steamboat
came and the marshal said to the man:
"The steamboat won't sail for two or
three days. Bo sure to be on hand
when the steamboat sails."
It happened that the man was a
Chilkat. The Chilkats didn't always
pull with the Chilkoots. They were
blood kin, but they sometimes dif
fered on politics. The prisoner had
friends. He was willing to go, but it
seems his friends were far from being
so. They did not at all approve of
the trip to Sitka. Self-respecting Chil
kats only went to Sitka to spend their
money and get drunk. So the steamer
sailed, and the man was not there.
In fact at the very time the steamer
was getting under way, at least 50
Chilkats, along with tho prisoner, had
repaired to a large empty house about
half a mile distant from the store, and
were then and there indulging in a
(east, and filling up on Alaska whiskey.
"Go down, take your man and bring
film here," commanded the marshal
to tho policemen, when he saw the
man was not there and had heard what
was going on.
Tho three policemen filed down to
where the festivities were going on.
In a little while they filed back to the
store.
"What's the matter with you? Yon
are olilcers. You are big men. Why
don't you take him?"
There was no answer.
"Then I will," he said; and tho In
dians saw he meant it.
Old Donawak, chief of the Crows,
spoke up, "They will kill you." They
I knew it, and they were his friends.
I The whole village turned out. Every
man was there, and they started ahead
of him for the house where the men
were. But the Chilkat gang, at best,
were two to their one, and they were
drinking. Arrived at the front of the
house, he paused not an instant, put
pulled open the door and stepped in.
The room was chock-a-block with In
dians. They were lined up in three
tiers all around the sides of the room
and there were men standing in the
cut re. There was the prisoner, but
he was in the very last tier next the
far wall. The moment the Indians
saw who it was they set up a hubbub.
I "Tell th-m when they are still I will
have something to say," said he qui
etly to the interpreter.
In stantly there was silence. In
dians are always polite that way.
With hands clasped behind his back
and fixing his gaze squarely upon the
man in the rear, he said, speaking
siowly and quietly: "When you are
all through eating, when it is all over,
I want to see the prisoner at the store.
Tell him to come with the policemen."
There was a dead silence.
The trader turned to go. Turning
back, half around, he spoke again: "If
there is any person here who objects,
let him speak right now."
There was a dead silence, as before.
Then to the policemen: "I want
you to stay here until the feast is
over."
Then he went back to the store. Ha
was playing a desperate game; that
it might work he could only hope, it
might be more correct to say that
Johnny Healy never for an instant,
after the inception of a course of ac
tion, allowed a doubt of success to
cross his mind. Force, he saw, was
cut of the question. No man would
come alive out of that hole, if the
first hand were raised. Every Chilkat
carries a six-shooter in the waistband
of his pants and a knife in his shirt
to use when he thinks necessary. Three
hours passed. The policemen came
back to the store. The prisoner was
not with them.
The trader had been against as hard
a proposition as this before, but not
exactly of this kind. If he weakened,
his authority was gone. He rubbed his
chin once more and looked vacantly
out through the small window in front
of the store. Then his eyes wandered
to the different objects about the din
gy room. Against the wall near the
window stood a small table. On the
table was a copying press. It was just
an ordinary commercial copying press,
lie used it for keeping copies of let
ters he sent outside for goods and other
matters. He had found it a useful
thing, and had brought it from Mon
tana. It was somewhat of a mystery
to the Indians. There was not another
one in Alaska this side of the gover
nor's office at Sitka. Perhaps they
had some idea about its being "Ofli
cial." They knew that letters to Sit
ka first went into that machine. How
ever, we may not know all that passed
through the minis of the savages
whenever they came into the store to
buy a bolt of calico or a plug of to
bacco. An idea struck the trader. The
copying press!
"So he refuses to come,eh? I'll fix
that," he said, with a look of deter
mination that was meant to convince.
"So he won't come, eh? Who are his
friends?" ho almost screamed at the
alarmed policemen who stood waiting
after the delivery of their report Lift
ing the lid of the tall desk he took
out a large sheet of writing paper and
with a great show of deliberation, he
reached for a pen and dipped it into
the ink.
"Who are his friends that will not
let him come?" he demanded fiercely.
They were all known. One by one they
were called off and slowly and care
fully each name was written down on
the paper. There were nine altogether.
He now held up the sheet so they could
see the names written upon it, and
then walking briskly across the room,
opened the letter book, placed the
sheet of paper in, closed the book, put
it under the letterpress and, giving
the wheel a sharp turn, brought it
down firmly upon the book.
"There! He won't come, eh? The
prisoner will be here by sunset!"
The policemen looked at each other
with a mystefied air, muttered some
thing to each other, and, as the trad
er waved them out, they backed out of
the room.
Johnny Henley sat down in a chair.
He wiped his brow, for the day was
warm. He had played his last card.
He knew perfectly well that the men
would go right back and every Indian
in that house would know what had
been done.
Half an hour passed. It was an anx
ious one for the trade. Presently he
heard voices outside. Then the sound
of feet upon the step 3 and the door was
pushed open. The yard was filled with
Indians—Chilkats and Chilkoots. In
front was the prisoner. He was fair
ly pushed into the door.
"Take him! Take him!" several
voices said at once in Tlingit
Tho Indian went to Sitka. What
would have happened if the bluff had
failed even Johnny Healy didn't know.

Lord ItoHcbfiry'ii Deßcent.
Tho Earl of Rosebery appears to
have been the right man in the right
place yesterday, and this in more
senses than one. His lordship, it
would seem, had a genealogical claim
to deliver the Millanary oration. An
antiquarian correspondent informs us
that Lord Rosebery "has a clear de
scent from the great king of the Sax
ons through Princess Margaret, sister
of King Henry VIII. She was the wife
of the chivalrous but rash James,
fourth king of the Scots of that name,
who came to grief at Flodden, and
their son and successor was James V,
the father of that most romantic of
princesses, Mary Queen of Scots,
Queen Mary had a half-brother, the
Earl of Moray, the same who forced
her poor trembling hand to sign the
deed of abdication, who founded a
line of nobles, the fourth of whom
gave a daughter as wife to the ninth
Earl of Argyll. He had the misfortune
to lose his head at Edinburgh for op
posing James II of England, whose
representative is 'Mary II!,' otherwise
tho Princess Louis of Bavaria. This
Countess of Argyll was mother of the
next earl, ancestor of the fourth duke,
a sister of whose was Countess of
Rosebery, and groat great-grand
mother of the present noblo earl."—

FALLACIES ABOUT FLOUR.
Patent Roller Article More Dlgefttlble
Thnn (irahniii.
Commonly accepted and widely taught
ideas in regard to the evil effects of
eating white Hour bread, instead of
graham and whole wheat breads, are
upset by recent experiments of the
Department of Agriculture. Digestion
experiments were carefully carried
out with bread made from each of the
several kinds of flour, and the propor
tions of protein assimilated and re
jected by the system carefully deter
mined. The whole wheat flours may
afford a greater proportion of the
mineral nutriments, however, as this
phase of the subject was not studied,
but as far as the available protein
fats, carbohydrates and energy are
concerned the patent roller flours are
preferable.
According to the chemical analysis
cf graham, entire wheat and standard
patent flours, milled from the same
lot of hard Scotch Fife spring wheat
the graham flour contained the highest
and the pntent flour the lowest per
centage of total protein. The results
of the digestion experiments with
these flours showed that they were
valuable in the reverse order, that is,
the standard patent roller flour afford
ed the greatest amount of assimilable
protein, while the graham nnd whole
wheat afforded lesser amounts. This
paradox, that the flour containing the
smallest proportion of protein, should
afford the greatest proportion avail
able for digestion, is explained by the
coarseness of the particles of the
whole wheat varieties. The bran nnd
germ of these flours resist the action
of the digestive juice 3 to a grejit de
gree, nnd consequently pass through
the system unaltered. On the other
hand, the finely ground condition of
the patent flours improves its digesti
bility.
It was also shown that the addition
of wheat starch to flour did not im
prove its bread-making qualities or
the size of the leaf. The most desir
able flour for bread-making appears
to be one produced by blending hard
nnd soft wheat flours, in which the un
desirable properties of the gluten of
each are counterbalanced.

An Acetylene Life Saver.
A successful trial has taken place
at Vienna, Austria, at the Diana
Baths of a new invention for saving
life at sea. The inventor Is Lieuten
ant George Irsay de Irsay of the Hus
sars.
A man completely dressed, the life
saving appliance hanging loosely from
>is shoulder, threw himself into the
water. After a few seconds he re
turned to the surface, ami then for
some hours was kept above the water
by the inflated bladder or bag consti
tuting the essential part of the appli
ance.
The invention consists of a metal
box and a bag, which is closely
wrapped around the box. Within the
apparatus a perforated case is placed
containing a certain chemical prep
aration.
The lock of the case consists of a
rubber plate, which Is kept upward
before use by means of a substance
soluble in water.
The instant wuter penetrates into the
apparatus acetylene gas is developed
and the lock becomes closed automat
ically.
The inflated bag serves as a sort
of floating cushion, by means of which
even voluntary attempts at diving are
impossible.
A Curious Murrioif" Notice.

ton, of Burrlngham, muutau maker.
The patient bride hud kept company
near two years with a blacksmith of
the same place, and was actually pub

Sunday preceding her marriage, but
for the reasons best known to herself
eloped next day with the preacher;
so true is it that we know not what a
day may bring forth."

A TORNADO AT CLOSE RANGE.
What One of Thein Looks Like 300 Feet
Away.
There was a tearful storm In the
lowlands yesterday forenoon at 1
o'clock, and a great many trees, some
two feet in diameter, were picked up
; out of the ground and hurled into the
■ air to he dashed to the earth again
with terrific force. As far as can bo
| learned there was no loss of life. The
j storm spent its fury in a path about
100 yards wide and two miles long, it
I is approximated.
| Levi S. Wild, manager of the West
ern Union Telegraph Company of this
city, and Bryan Irvine went to Ber
nice Saturday night and yesterday
morning engaged a team and drove,
out to Hoadley's place, about four
miles and a half up the lowlands from
Bernice. They were chatting in Hoad
ley's cabin, when Mr. Irvine looked
out of the window to the west and
remarked that he saw the blackest
cloud he ever beheld. The morning
had been fretful and drizzling. The
other gentlemen noticed the ominous
appearance of the black bank of cloud
in the sky, but paid no more attention
to it until it began to sprinkle, when
a. great gust of strong wind reminded
the party within of the black cloud.
The rain resolved itself into a hail
storm and soon the largest hailstones
that any of the men ever saw poured
down in a threatening manner. The
roof of the cabin was inadequate and
the boards were rent asunder and great
stones rained and pelted down upon
the floor, hounding hack toward the
ceiling violently. Still the cabin was
not in the teeth of the storm, for Mr.
Wild said he could see the terrible
execution it was doing across the
creek, 100 yards distant. Trees were
torn up and dashed t? tl\c ground and
the wind lifted them high into the air
and carried them great distances. It
was feared at the time that all the men
in the cabin would he dashed to eter
nity by the savage twister. But noth
ing more than a hard hailstorm struck
the cabin. The sight was awe-in
spiring. There was but little lightning
and thunder. The roaring in the
trees, whose majestic beauty was be
ing marred and rent, was dolefully
grand and inspiring.
Two men drove up to the cabin fif
teen minutes later and said the road
was literally strewn with trees. They
Bad secu -ed shelter in a crevasse and
were unhurt. They saw a whole hill
side denuded of i,s foliage and dense
growth of trees. Some of the trees
were nearly three feet in diameter, and
they were piled indiscriminately upon
cue another. There were at least 100
grand, stalwart pines dashed into a
heap In about two minutes. The havoc
was terrible to behold.—Anaconda

Only One Men], Bnt Big.
A famous and eccentric physician of
Loudon, who flourished 130 years ago,
was a stout advocate of a restricted
diet. He held that one meal a day was
enough for anyone, and he practiced
what he preached. But that meal! A
chronicler of the time said of it:
"For over twenty years Dr. Fordyce
dined daily at Dolly'B chop house, near
Paternoster row. At 4 o'clock he en
tered and took his seat at a table al
ways reserved for him. A silver tank
ard full of strong ale, a bottle of port
wine, and a measure containing a
quarter of a pint of brandy were in
stantly placed before him.
"The moment the waiter announced
him the cook put a pound and a half
of rump steak on the gridiron, and on
the table some delicate trifle as a
bounebouche to serve until the steak
was ready. This morsel was some
times half a broiled chicken, some
times a plate of fish. When he had
eaten this the doctor took one glass
of brandy and then proceeded to de
vour his steak.
"When he had finished bis meat he
took the remainder of Ills brandy. (He
drank the ale during his dinner.) He
then took his bottle of port. He thus
spent daily an hour and a half, and
then returned to his house in Essex
street to give his 0 o'clock lecture on
chemistry. He made no other meal
until his return next duy at. 4 o'clock
to Dolly's."—Boston Advertiser.

What llcoomen of Arctic Animals.
It has been a source of much sur
prise to Professor Nordenskjold that
during his expedition within the Arctic
Circle, in regions where auimnl life
is abundant, he has found very few re
mains of animals which died a natural
death. No one has any idea of what
becomes of tho bodies of such ani
mals. And it is, Indeed, very strange
that on Spitzbergen it is easier to find
hones of a gigautic lizard of remote
geological time than those of a self
dead seal, walrus or bird. The same Is
. also true of some places not so far
north.

IMPORTANT POINTERS.
The kneading motion should be light
and elastic. It has a two-fold object,
to stretch the gluten and to make the
bread lighter in color.
Bread must he thoroughly baked to
kill the yeast plant and rupture the
starch cells.
Large loaves must go into a slow
oven and be In ten minutes before
