be served, stewed, fried, or raw. Time, with
all its mutations, has no! taken one jot from its popularity, and should
the world stand for a million years longer and you were able to come
back and visit the inhabitants of this sphere at that time, you would
find the oyster still holdn^g the .position of honor at alhfeasts dur„

Realizing the staying power of the oyster and the allround enjoy¬
ment and pleasure to be derived from a plate of fried oysters, a
bowl of stew, or a dozen raw, the Red Men will make it the leading
item for its bill of fare next Tuesday evening. The committee in
(charge of the arrangements lor the supper have prepared an appetiz¬
ing menu, and the “Indians” will have a feast that will be remmem-

The supper will commence at 8.30 p. m., and the following bill

Stewed Oysters, Fried Oysters Raw Oysters

refer to the simon pure aboriginee,
taken as his great spirit made him
in the full-blown purity and origi¬
nality of his forest home. JJThere
he stood, a Caesar of the wilder¬
ness—afraid of nothing that walk¬
ed. True to his tribe, as the need¬
le to the pole. An embodiment of
fortune. He could hold his hand
in the flame and see it burned to a
crisp cle/ without the quiver of a mus¬
These were the people among
whom the celebrated writer on the
North American Indian traveled,
and about whom he said : “I have
roamed about for some seven or
eight years, and visited under an
almost infinite variety of circum¬
stances, some three or four hun¬
dred thousand red men, and I feel
bound to say that the Indians are.
by nature, a kind and hospitable
people. No red man ever struck
me a blow or took from me a far¬
thing’s worth in value.”
A similar amount of travel at
present time among the conquerors
ol the red men would hardly re.
ceive the same encomium.
Taken as nature made him, free
from the effects of the corrupting
and avaricious outbursts of civili-
zation, the red man developed h
noble character, through which
nature herself seemed to speak.
Such was the new man to whom
our forefathers were introduced,
and when they desired a character
to typify freedom they chose the
red man, just as they chose his
feathered fellow, the eagle, as a
symbol of freedom. So they dress¬
ed themselve in the red man’s leg-

M ""
ance and returned home to await
the guns of Bunker Hill.
The colonist of that day was a
farmer. Tall, erect, healthy. He
married early, and at twenty-five
was the head of a farm and family.
His education wias limited, but he
was well acquainted with the
stories of Joseph, of Daniel, of
David, and the sermon on the
Mount. ' He was reasonable, and
knew that the. government must be
supported, and willingly paid his
tar. But one day parliment pass¬
ed an act taxing everything in the
colonies from marriages to ships,
Then he raved! \Vhen a country
full of this kincLof people makes
up its mind to risist, “Somebody
is going to get hurt.”
In Philadelphia and-Boston they
climbed into Jthe towers and, cov-
ering the bells with cloth, tolled
them in the muffled notes of funeral
peals, and mournfully said,
“Liberty is dead.”
In New York a copy of the act
was nailed to a skull.and follow¬
ed through the streets by crowds
chanting “The folly of.England
and the ruin of Ameiica.”
At Exeter the t ’. " .A '*>. ,*

wives kept the pots full of boiling
water and made no secret of their
intention of scalding the kill’s of¬

The universality of the discon¬
tent led the people together for
mutual council. The hardy mal¬
contents recognized the. necessity
of organization. But what kind?
How? What name? They again
turned to the forest, and chose the
red man for a model. They assum¬
ed a tribal organization, oath-
bound and secret, and baptized it
with the name “Sons of Liberty,”
soon to be changed into the name
of the greatest of all red men, “St.
Tamina.” From this it was but a
short step to the present title.
So we see that this order per¬
petuates, in the name of liberty,
the freedom and the virtues of a
race almost forgotten, never under¬
stood, always unappreciated.* We
propose to rescue it from the slime
of the dime novel and present it to
posterity with a name as fair as
the silvery resplendence of the

A Man and His Burro Turned to
Rock Salt in the Colorado Desert.
From the Pittsburg Gazette.
George H. Tucker, a mining
prospector who has just returned
from a trip through the Mojave and
Colorado deserts, tells a remarkable
story of the biscovery of a petrified
man and burro in one of the large
salt fields that abound there. He
told the story as follows to a
Gazette correspondent:
“One of the most desolate places
in the Colorado Desert is thiriy-two
miles southeast of Danby. Here is
a large desposit of rock salt 15
miles in length and from i£ to 3
miles in width. There is not a
spear of gra. or any kind of veg¬
etation. In many places the rock
salt crops out of the earth, and
anywhere in this section rock salt
can be obtained by digging ten or
twelve inches. No one knows how
beep the salt goes. A number of
prospect holes have been sunk,
but the great amount of water en¬
countered at a depth of twenty-
five or thirty teet makes further
miuitig impossible without appara¬
tus for pumping.
“Some ten years ago an effort
was made to bring these immense
deposit of salt into commercial use.
Two railroads weie built to con¬
nect the rock quarries with the
Santa Fe. It was found necessary
to bliild a house in the middle of
the deposit, and for this purpose
enough blocks of rock salt were
cut to build the shanty 14 by 30 feet
in dimentions. A floring aud roof
composed of the peouliar kind of
earth that exists in that vicinity
completed the building This salt
house, or as the Mexicans called it,
‘La Casa del Sal was used for the
purpose for which i? was erected.
But in a short time the salt mining
operators were discontinued, and
the salt house was abandoned to
the coyote and desert owl.
“For at least seven years before
we visit this building, about a
month ago, it has not been inhabi¬
ted, and probably very seldom seen
by any one. During the summer
months in this locality fine saline
dust is blown in great clouds
through the desert, The heat is
almost unbearable, What water
is found is undrinkable, and woe
to the prospector who finds himself
in this section with an empty can—
teen. A peculiar feature of the
climate is that, no matter bow hot
the. day, the night is invurably cool,
even cool enough for forming ice.

“During the summer of 1900 a
Swede name Johnson,who had been
prospecting in the vicinity, started
to cross this dry lake of salt at Old
Woman’s Spring. When nearly
half way across a terrible sand¬
storm blew up. He trudged on un¬
til he came to the salt house* where
he and his burro sought shelter.
“Under the eaves of the house
he found a number of galvanized
tanks partly filled with rain water.
He considered this a lucky find,for
his canteen was almost empty. He
drank his fill of the waterhefouud
and permitted his burro to do the
same.
“The night wrs cold and the
storm continued. He determined
to c imp in the hut over night. The
dead embers of the fire were Still
to be seen when we visited the
place, evidencing the unusual se¬
verity of the weather.
• « When we opened the < door to
desolate shack we were horri¬
fied at the seeing what seemed to
be a marble statute lying on the
floor. The head was of alabaster
Whiteness, the hair and whiskers
having fallen away. The body
was outlined under a thin blanket.
“The sight was so uncanny that
we hesitated to remove the blanket
but Anally mustered enough courage
to do so. The body had undergone
a singular transformation, being
nothing less than complete petrifi¬
cation. The substance was of a
nature of gypsum, very friable and
and pure white in color. The
outline of the body was perfect.
“The darkness of the interior at
first prevented us from seeing the
buss which was standing in one
corner. One of our party advanced
and laid his hanb on the animal,
when it fell over and against him.
The burro had undergone the same
transformation as its master. The
body of the man was given a decent
burial near the bouse, and the burro
will be sent to the Smithsonian In¬
stitution.
“The explanation of this strange
phenomenon is to be found in the
kind of water that was drunk by
the man and the burro and in the
kind of earth that composed the
roof and floor of the salt habitation.
The water is heavily charged with
chloride for sodium. 4 The earth
that had been used for the rocking
contained chemicals -which were
takenjin solution by the rain water
as it dripped through into the - gal*
vanized tank.
“After drinking frdely of this
water the man and his beast had
evidently frozzen to death and were
