VOL. XXVII. NO 16 THE SUMMER GIRL. Now doth t hr- mind of ye pleasure seeker turn to vision's of that part icular brand of joy which is made especially for and at. those resorts where mor tals are supposed to find cool ness and shade at so much a week, with “excellent table, fine water and splendid orches tra” thrown in, to sav nothing ( ?)f summer girls, of whom some are girls in fact and age, while some are girls by courtesy, and some are married and some are widowed, but yet in the flying, floating, flimsy, foamy frills k and fm l> •lows of frolirksome ness and fashion they are sum- mer girls. Joyfully and jauntily these dear products of the times give to the resorts that tinge of take lt-all-inness that draws men of usual level head to depart from the comforts of home, and fight sand tlies or mosquitoes at some place where his bed is possessed of moving spirits and where ice is necessary to prevent Mercury from bursting out of the tube and rising again to Olymphian heights. Yes, ’tis these dear hotel nymphs who entice and lure the young man to incinerate his long green with the air of a ba ron who-never worked, and to return after a few days to his. six dollars a week with empty pocket and lovely stories. ea, Very, the time rapidly ap proacheth, and ye maid with cheery lips, and velvety cheeks of peaches cold cream, and silk en hair, and languorous eyes, and marble throat, and all those other things that they carry around for company and exhibition purposes —ye maid, we say, doth now begin to sing merrily to herself and doth ga/.e in ye great mirror and doth wink ye optic organ at herself in much admiration.

PARSONS’ TWO FEATS. OUT A man’s HF.AD OFF WITH A SABRR—RODE 200 MIFFS IN IS HOURS. Chicago Times-Herald. It is claimed by the authori ties on the art of war that, the greatest blow of the campaign between Greece and Turkey was struck by Colonel Mahmoud Hey, who with one swift stroke of his sword completely severed a Greek officer’s head from his body. These same authorities generously admit that this trick may have been quite common in ancient times, when stalwart men swung hj-avy battleaxes, but they agree that it is prac. ticallv unknown in modern war fare. History is silent on the sub ject. There is' not a plethora of literature bearing on its ac complishment. The original of all such stories is, of course; “The Adventures of Jack the Giant Killer,” which, for ob vious reasons, does not help the subject. Scott describes a sim ilar episode in “The Talisman,” but the best decapitation story, from an artistic point of view, is found in the memoirs of (Jap lain John Smith. The doughty captain vouches for the venvity of the details, though that is no good reason wl*y we should -not use the customary pinch of salt . According to his truthful chronicle, he overcame in tour nament the three champions of the Turkish army, decapitating each one with a single blow of his heavy sword. A writer who is evidently in formed on the subject claims that Mahmoud Hev could not. have accomplished the feat of decapitation with an ordinary saber and asserts that tin* Turk’s yntnghnn was “loaded” with quicksilver. The yataghan, lie explains, is a short sword, shaped something like a butch er’s cleaver, with an apparently hollow tube running along the back from hilt to point. This tube carries a charge of quick silver. When the sivord is laid upright, this quicksilver rests at the hilt. Asa blow is struck the liquid metal is hurled down the groved channel, lending deadly additional weight to the blow. The assertion made that this is the sole instance of its kind in the history of 100 years is not borne out by facts. The same feat was performed during the civil tyar, pot. wifli a “loads ed” yataghan, but with an or dinary United States army sa ber. The man who wielded the sword in this episode. Colonel E. Bios* Parsons, died recently in Rochester. Colonel Parsons was one of the wealthiest uijd best known men in New York state, and though he had never related the story the details were found among lqs private papers after hjs death. The incident was illustrated and described in Harper’s Weekly at the time. It was in 18(54. Colonel Par- sous, who was noted as a horse-j man, was attached to General Sheridan’s stall. While reeon noileriiig one day with a squad of troopers under General [>avis they were surprised by a de tachment of Confederate caval ry. A pitched battle ensged, and Parsons, who was in the rear, saw a rebel officer level a revolver at General Davis’ head. Jabbing the spurs into his horse, he swung his saber above his head, and, dashing l>y ji|*t as the oft|ogr bred, ha made a terrific fqll ariq sweep.

Not only did he perform tRe only authentic ffqf pf dt« apitqtjqn during the civil war, hut he was the hepo of a remarkable ride. A few days before the hat tie of Gettysburg was fought General Meade had an import ant message to send to General Harding, PJU wiles distant. As LAWRENCEVILLE, GEORGIA, TUESDAY, JUNE 29th 1897. the route was through a coun try swarming with rebels,, the message was written ou tissue paper, flint it might be swal lowed in case the carrier was capt ured. The commander was in doubt regarding a suitable messenger. He summoned Gen eral Davis to headquarters. “General, who is the hardest rider, as well as the most trust worthy man, in the service?” asked Meade. “Colonel Parsons, sir,” was the prompt reply. “Send him to me at once.” It was 0 o’clock on a Monday night when General Meade gave the young officer his instruc tions. He was to ride with all haste to General Harding’s headquarters and return at once with an answer. The messenger retired. Two hundred miles were to be cov ered. The roads ' were heavy and they led through the ene my’s country. Exactly at noon on the fol lowing day Colonel Parsons en tered General Meade’s tent. The latter’s face grew purple with iage, and lie ripped out a string of oaths. “Is this the way you obey orders?” he thundered. “What are you laying around camp for? You ought to be with Generai Harding by this time.” “I have just returned from General Harding, sir.” “You lie!" exclaimed the ex asperated general. Parson's face paled, anil he dug the nails in his hands to restrain himself, “General Meade,” he said, in a voice that ill concealed his anger, “if you were not my command ing officer, 1 would knock you down for 1 hat insult.” Without the formality of a salute he turned on his heel and left the tent, Meadeafter ward made an ample apology. Colonel Parsons killed two horses and went himself with out a particle of food. For 18 hours he was not out of the saddle. A TUNNEL UNDER PIKE’S PEAK. Criiti.k Creek, June 17. — Another gigantic undertaking has been begun for this country j of great enterprises. The Uni ted .States is so large and of I such varied formation that it must of necessity be centuries before a perfect system of com inunication cgn lie established. Hut with the rapidity with which now and great meohani cal enterprises are entered upon i the completion of an ideal traf fic system will be accomplished here more rapidly t han it could > be anywhere else under the sun. The “forty-niners” who trud ged across the continent, actu ally leading their teams thre ugh . the winding pusses of the Rook ies, would have ridiculed, as We now deride air travel, the idea of crossing by train according to time table as iufallible as the sun, “If it wasn’t for! Pike’s Peak there’ll be some hope,” one of them hu id to the titst railroad surveyor who went over the mountains with his line.. The railroad lias lcqig been an accomplished thing. It has to wjnd around Rise’s Reak, it i'i true, and go fifty miles out of the way before it comes to a straight line again. Hut it | does it with skill, passing over and through some of the wild ; est and most marvelqui, scenery known |n rajlrogd travel. The jcttnyoiis of i dorado, the mmiu tain sides and the trestles are j world fainqus. They Uj-e Rf)W hpgjmqug a work th»L while it may rob the Colorado journey of some of its scenery, will be .meof the most important steps in the cross-country trayel which the forty-niners begun. Til in is the work qf tnquelljug under Pike’s P-oak. Those who are familiar with Colorado know ihqtit is crossed I by three rangers of the Rocky mountains, Those are separa ted by plateaux of gri at Inght, which form the natural “paiks” | for which Colorado is famous. Above the parks rise the moun tain peuks piercing the heavens i on either side. One of these peaks at upu I time thought tu be the highest, was climbed by Maj« R*ko in JNUfI and named after him Nothing more was known of it until the “Pathfinder,” Col. Fremont, visited it in 1842, and took observations from its sides at an altitude of 14,000 feet. In 1858 settlers located upou the Peak looking for gold, which was found there in son abundance, and formed iitt sdttli menfs, one of whi h I now the flourishing town . | Victor. i The Peak, unfortunately L r I settlers, is located it. the mid't, lof tho richest know n spot i > the world. Here are foui d ! woods, oris, stones and ever, mineral that has ever been lit - | earthed. fts natural resources are such that, in spite of the j difficulty of road construction, there a.n- more paths—railroad, j wagon and foot-running aroftnd Pike’s Peak than can he count ed in any two states in t>n union. The profit to be gained by a further development of the nat ural resources of the Peak wa the motor power which set in action the present entfirpriM of digging a tunnel under Pike'- jPeak. It has just been begun imdei 'gigantic auspices, by the em ployment of two immense gangs of workmen, who are now ex cavatiiig at the rate of thirtv feet a day. It is proposed lh.:t, one funnel sh.'.ll run in a straight line under the moun tain, and that other tunnel shall branch out from the mai one, coming out at Sunni, Vic tor, Gillette and the other towns upon or near the moun j tain. The most important tunnel will unite Cripple Creek and Colorado Springs, connecting them by a rail rood only sixteen miles in tenth. The trip from the Springs to the Creek can then he made in half an hour, instead of the average two horns j now necessary. The starting point of the. main tunnel, where the men | are now working is at the foot of the mountain leading up to Pike’e Peak, near tl e old town of Colorado City. From here it runs almost due southwest The further end of the tunnel is at the edge of the mountain-- at Four-Mile creek, in Fremon county, Colorado, six miles south of Cripple Creek. and near Sunol. The main tunnel will pass directly under the cone of Pike's Peak, at a depth of nearly 7,(KM feet and 2,7(M feet beneath th* town of Victor. Most of this lies directly underneath the I Cripple Creek distiict at. an average depth of 2,800 f< et. The expense of exoav»tioi> is | about !|l 100 per foot, hut it is certain that this expense will be-rullv met by tho minora 1 * ; that are brought out in th* process of excavation. Per haps iu the secret pockets of the mountain lies a diamond mine, a supposition not at all - improbable. The contracts for the work j read that it. shall he completed Jan. 1, 1904. Ai.i.kn G.

OFUHT THE I*OOR TO HIVE? , It is sometimes said that we have no right to ask the pour to give, tHut they cannot and | might not to afford to do so. Did Christ thus judge? Did he say it was a pity the poor widow had been moved to give jto the Lord, and that she ; ought to have kept the money for her own needs? How could |he have said so who had the j “cattle on a thousand hills” at I his command, and the hearts of men in his hand to turn them as he would? Could' not he supply the widow’s need, and do you suppose that he al lowed her to lack for food when she returned to her humble home? He is the same Lord now, and his promise standeth sure; “Bring the tithes into my storehouse, and I will pour you out u blessing till there shall not lie room enough to re ceive it.” If we lielieve his word, we need not hesitate to ask the poor to give their mite to the Lord, Small gift* may accomplish great results.
