It isn't the thing you do, dear:
It’s the thing you’ve left undone
Which gives you a bit ot a heartache
At the setting of the sun.
The tender word forgotten,
The letter you did not write,
Tho flower you might have sent, deaf,
Arc your haunting ghosts tonight.
The stone you might have lifted
Out of a brother’s way.
The bit of beartsome counsel
You were hurried too much to say;
The loving touch of the hand, dear,
The gentle and winsome tone
That you had no time or thought for,
With troubles enough of your own.
For life is ail too short, dear,
And sorrow is all too great
To suffer our slow compassion
That tarries until too late;
And it’s not the thing you do, dear.
It’s the tiling you leave undone
Which gives you a bit of a heartach*
At the setting of the sun.
The Brakeman and
t the Squaw.
BY CY. WAKMAN.
Here’s the story of the building of
! a branch line on a mountain railroad.
Conductor charge McGuire,being a new man,
was in of the constmetion
train, with Engineer Westcott in
charge of the eugine.
N. C. Creede, afterwards famous as
the founder of Creede camp, had
located the Madonna mine at Monarch
camp, and- created a necessity for the
branch road. They had rushed the
work, but the first snow caught them
still three miles from the booming
silver camp. A wandering hand of
Indians, hearing of the excitement,
and not understanding if, had strayed
into the Monarch county, aud down
the gulch as far as Maysville, theja a
wild and thriving village at the e<tge
of the Arkansas valley. One day,
when it was storming, an old squaw
came to McGuire, and wanted a ride
up the hill. It was a cruel day, and
t he kind-hearted conductor carried the
Indian to the end of the track.
It was a month later when one of
McGuire’s brakemen, named Bowen,
who had been hunting in the hills,
rushed into the caboose with the start¬
ling announcement that his partner, the
head brakeman, had been captured by
the Indians,
“Look here, Jack,” said McGuire,
“are you lying?”
“Honest Injun,” said Jack, “if
pie there’s a million; and
Mickey tied to a stake.
We had become separated. I was
standing on a precipice, looking for
Mickey, when 1 saw the Indians sur¬
round him.”
Now, Jack Bowen had lied so frequent¬
ly and luminously to the conductor
that the latter was slow to believe this
wild tale; but finally he was persuaded
that it was true. Returning to Mays¬
ville with the engine, he gave the
alarm, and the sheriff' of Chaffee
county made up a posse aud set out
in search of the brakeman.
The sun was going down behind the
range when the engine and the
caboose full of amateur Indian lighters
returned to the end of tho track. Tak¬
ing Bowen as guide, the sheriff
scoured the hills, but found no trace
of the missing man. The storm in¬
creased with the darkness, and the
sheriff’s posse was forced to return to
camp. It were useless to put out again
in the face of such a storm, aud the
sheriff was about to return to Mays¬
ville, when the old squaw, whom Mc¬
Guire had helped up the hill, put her
head in at the door of the way car and
signaled McGuire to come out. She
could scarcely speak a word of Eng¬
lish, but, pulling at the conductor’s
sleeve, she started as though shew r ould
lead h m into the hills. As often as
McGuire would stop the squaw would
stop. He tried to persuade her into
the ear, but she would not. Now the
sheriff came out, and when he saw the
signals of the squaw he guessed that
she would lead them to the captive,
and when McGuire had told how he
had helped this Indian on her way up
the hill in a storm, he knew that the
Indian was trying to repay the con
ductor for his kindness. The unfor
tunate brakeman, McGuire explained,
had given the Indian tobacco and
whiskey; therefore, she would not see
him die without making au effort to
save him.
The sheriff called his deputies, and
*®king a half-dozen volunteers from
Garfield camp, made sign to the In
lian and followed her away into the
wai«®css of snow-hung pine and
cedar. Now and then the squaw would
pause to get her bearings. The snow
had ceased falling and the stars were
out. After tramping for an hour or
more, the Indian signed to the sheriff
to stay, and then disappeared into a
cedar grove. Presently she returned
and led them to the edge of a preci
pice. Just below them, in a little
basin, they could see a pine fire burn
ing and Indians dancing in the light
of it. Sitting upon the snow hard by,
they saiv the brakeman with his fet¬
tered bauds over his knees aud his
head bent forward like a man nodding
in a pew. Tbe sheriff asked the In
dian to lead them on and she made
sign that they must go far around for
the bluff’ was steep, and they followed
her. They had been a half hour out
of sight of the Indian camp, but
always going down and down, so they
knew uow they must be near. When
the day, thou cans’t not then he falsa to any man. ”
“To tl^ne cfwn self be true,and it will follow, as night .
LINCOLNTON, GA.. THURSD AY, FEBRUARY 17. 18 98
they hat gone within 100 yards of the
Indians^ Alio had not heard them walk¬
ing upon the muffled earth, they
stopped to discuss the work that was
before them. The Indian, putting her
hand on the sheriff’s rifle pushed it to
the ground and shook her head,mean¬
ing that she would not have th6m kill
the Indians,, whom they outnumbered
two to one. The sheriff was at a loss
to understand how he was to capture
this band without firing, for he had no
doubt the Indians would fire upqn him •
the moment they .caught sight of him.
But the squaw was equal to the emer¬
gency. She ftegan to form the men
in two lines. Taking hold of their
coats she would plafce a man on the
right fhfhk and another on the left,
until she had divided the sheriff’s
posse. She then placed the sheriff at
the head of one column and the con¬
ductor, whom she regarded as a sort
of captain, at the other, and then
made sign to them to go forward, one
half to the right and the other to the
left. Then she made it plain to them
that she would have them surround
tho Indians. She brought her two
bony hands together slowly, with the
lingers spread out, and when they
v. i -re quite together she closed her
fists. So the sheriff made out she
would have them steal upon the In¬
dians and disarm them or awe them
into surrendering at the muzzles of
their guns, and he gave instructions
to the men accordingly. Of course
each individual must now use his
judgment, aud so the little baud sur¬
rounded the Indians.
If the meantime the squaw stole
into the camp and squatted near the
tire. As the sheriff’s men closed in
upon the Indians the squaw leaped to
her feet and put out. a hand as a signal
fea; the bail'd to bo still, The Indians
listened, but the sheriffs men seeing
it all, stood still in the snow. Now
the squaw spoke to the Indians, say¬
ing that she had seen a great, many
soldiers coming down the hill that
evening and giving it as her opinion
that the camp would be surrounded
and that it' the Indians resisted they
would all he killed. When she had
succeeded in persuading them that it
would bo best to surrender in case the
soldiers should come, sheriff she sat down
again. This, the concluded,
was a signal for the men to advance,
and the posse moved.forward. When
they were quite near, the Indians were
made aware of their presence bough’ by the
snapping of a dry cellar and
the sheriff, knowing that delay would
be dangerous, shouted to bis. posse.to,
advance. At the sound of his voice
the Indians sprang for their rifles, but
when they had got them aud got to
their feet, again, the sheriff’s posse,
coming out of the woods from every
direction, held the glittering steel
barrels of their rifles in the glare of
the campfire and the Indians laid down
their arms.
The brakeman, who had concluded
that he was to be butchered or roasted,
was almost wild with joy. When
asked by the sheriff why they held the
brakeman, the leader said the white
man was lost, they found him and
were only waiting for daylight, when
they would take him back to his peo¬
ple and get “heap rum.” The sheriff
pointed to the white man’s fettered
hands and asked the Indian to explain,
and the Indian said that the man was
“heap mad,’ and they were afraid
that if they left his hands loose he
would take their guns and kill them
while they slept, and if they left his
feet unfettered he would wander awry
in the storm and be lost.
After consulting the conductor and
the more important members of the
posse, the sheriff concluded, as it was
manifest that the Indians were only
holding the brakeman for ransom,that
lie would allow them to go their way,
after exacting a promise that they
would return at once to their reserva
lion on the other side of the range.

i Adulterations of the Products of J|lo ir.
With the products of flour, sung as
bread, buns, cake, macaroni, vermi¬
celli, etc., the adulteration, wiile
more frequent, is likewise not lery
pronounced. Bread is said to be aiul
terated with alum, sulphate of copper,
ammonia, flours other than wheat, is qies- find
inferior grade of flour, It
tionable practiced if these extent adulterations in the United [are
to any
States. In England and on the Canti
nent a number of cases are on reaord
in which the above adulterations yere
found, and the offenders prosecuted.
Where coloring principles are a de¬
sideratum, the adulteration of bread,
cake, etc., while not frequent has been
very marked. Possibly all of my
hearers may remember the flagrant
adulteration of buns and noodles with
chrome yellow, which was brought so
prominently to the notice of the Fhil
adelphia community several years ago.
Dr. Henry Leffmann at that time found
eight grains of lead chromate in a
pound of a sample of soup noodles,
placed there to give an imitation egg
color, and two grains of the same poi¬
son in each of the tea buns tested by
him.- Seventy-eight cases of lead poi¬
soning were reported by Dr. Stewart
I from eating chrome yellow pound buns,
sixty-four of which were directly
traced to the use of chrome yellow by
two bakers, in the family of one of
whom six deaths occurred, and he
himself was made seriously ill. Be¬
sides this coloring, macaroni has been
found to contain saffron, turmenic
(which is considered injurious to
health,) and Martin’s pipe clay and
kaolin have been found as adulterat¬
ing constituents.—The Sanitarian.
Longest Fence in the World.
The longest fence in the world is
probably that which has just been fin¬
ished by the Erie Cattle company
along the Mexican border, It is 75
miles in length and separates exactly,
for its entire distance, the two repub¬
lics of North America. The fence was
built to keep the cattle from running
across the border and falling easy
prey to the Mexican cow punchers. Al¬
though it cost a great deal of money,
it is estimated that cattle enough will
be saved in one year to pay for it. It
is a barbed wire fence, with mesquite
and cottonwood poles, and for the en¬
tire length of it runs as straight as a
crow flies.
British Warship.
The new British warship Canopus,
is so armed that in five minutes’ con¬
secutive fire she is able to pour forth
nine tons’ weight of projectiles ahead
or astern, without exposing her broad¬
side. But the great feature of the
vessel is her ram bow, which is placed
much higher than in any other ship,
being only seven or eight feet below
the surface of the water. It is
sheathed with a two-inch thickness of
nickel-steel armor over the ordinary
iioHclad skiu.

Casan, the Tartar Dwarf.
In a series of papers on “Historic
Dwarfs,” Mary Shears Roberts de
sribes the famous Casan. Mrs. Rob
erts says:
Casan was the name of a little Mon¬
gol Tartar who flourished in the early
part of the thirteenth century.
He was born in the eastern part of
Asia, not far from the ancient city of
Karakorum. His parents belonged to
one of the barbian hordes that owed al¬
legiance to Genghis Khan, and Casan
became a fierce though small warrior,
and fought bravely under the banner
of the great and mighty Mongol con¬
queror.
The exact height of this little dwarf
is unknown, He was certainly not
over three feet tall, but he was active
and muscular, and like all his race,
could endure hunger, thirst, fatigue
and cold.
The Tartars were unexcelled in the
management of their beautiful horses.
The fleetest animals were trained to
stop short in full career, and to face
without flinching wild beast or for¬
midable foe. Casan was a born sol¬
dier, and at an early age became ex¬
pert in all the exercises that belonged
to a Tartar education. He could man¬
age a fiery courser with great skill, and
could shoot an arrow or throw a lance
with unerring aim. in full career, ad¬
vancing or retreating.
Like many of those small in stature,
he was anything but puny in spirit,
and while yet a lad he gathered about
him a troop of wild young Tartar boys
as reckless and daring as himself, of
whom by common consent he became
a leader. He commanded his lawless
young comrades with a strange mix
ture of dignity and energy, and they
obeyed his orders with zeal and will¬
ingness. Sometimes they would go on
long hunting expeditions, seldom fail¬
ing to lay waste any lonely habitation
they happened on.
How to Hake Fudge*.
It isn’t “Oh, fudge!” any more. It’s
“Oh, fudges!” And aren’t they good!
Any one who has ever eaten fudges—
stuck as full of nuts as .Tacky Horner’s
pie was of plums—will know that they
eclipse anything every invented in the
line of goodies. They aren’t so hard
to make, either, when you once know
how. But you must follow directions
closely, for fudges can cut up the most
unusual and extraordinary antics. If
not made exactly right they will crum¬
ble or refuse to harden. Here is a
good recipe and it won’t fail you: Take
three cups of granulated sugar, one
cup of sweet milk and two squares of
the best chocolate, which, of course,
must be grated; let these boil for
eleven minutes; Just before the time Is
up add a piece of butter the size of
a walnut, Fudges must be stirred
constantly, and when removed from
the lire should be beaten briskly until
they harden; then spread on a butter¬
ed platter, cut into small squares and
set out of doors to cool; if nuts are
added they should be chopped and put
into the sirup when it is taken off the
stove; English walnuts or pecans are
best. There's only one trouble about
fudges. They look so appetizing that
you can’t wait for them to cool. And
they taste so good that they don’t last
any time at all. By the time they’re
done they’re eaten, and every one
want more. So make a lot!—Chicago
Record.
If Words Were Spelled ns They Sound.
Spell pique, catalogue, phthisis anil
a few other words of like character anil
you will not wonder that foreigners
have so much trouble in learning Eng¬
lish. Owing to silent letters and let¬
ters having several different sounds,
English is said to be the most difficult
of all modern languages to spell. For
this reason scholars and societies have
been trying to institute a spelling re¬
form, but they are not very successful.
People learn bow to spell when they
are children, and they don't like to
change. Still, 4 there are many people
who now write though, “tho"; cata¬
logue, “catalog”, and programme “pro¬
gram,” and so on. A writer in a re¬
cent publication pokes fun at the re¬
forms proposed, and publishes this lit¬
tle verse to show how queer our lan¬
guage would look if all the words were
spelled just as they sound:
“Litl Wili had a monk!
Claiming up a yelo stile;
Hi sukt dhi yelo pant ol of.
It mad him dethli sik;
Dhi huming top is sailent now,
Dhi bol iz lad asaid,
And dhi munki duzent jump arounJ
Sins litl Wili daid!”
Dogs Laugh, too.
Of course dogs laugh. Every boy
who has a pet terrier or mastiff or
Newfoundland knows it well enough,
but it is ouly recently that scientists
have begun to study the subject. A
Frenchman has found that the dog
and the bear and a very few other
animals actually have smile muscles in
their face, and the picture here given
is from a photograph of a fox terrier
owned by the scientist. He believes
that dogs show their joy and delight
by smiling just as a boy or girl would
do, and he says that some dogs are
so amiable that they seem to ’’sable

their faces. A monkey, although high¬
er in the scale of animal life, is al¬
ways sorrowful faced, and in this re*

Boys I*earu to 15e Firemen.
Instead of having military drill the
boys of the Cambridge (Mass.) Manual
Training school are learning to be
firemen. It is perhaps the only school
for firemen in the world. It is not
the object, of course, to mr-.ke firemen
out of the boys, but to give them cool¬
ness, courage and promptness in the
face of emergencies, as well as to make
them ready and efficient in case a
fire breaks out aud there are no reg¬
ular firemen near at haud. No hoy
is allowed to take the work unless he
is sound physically, aud before he can
try the more dangerous exercises of
ladder-running and the use of the life
line he is compelled to harden ...s
muscles with “setting up exercises.”
The school possesses a complete fire
apparatus, including engines, trucks,
ladders and hose-carts, and the boys
learn every detail of the work from
splicing a hose to running up a la I
der.
A Dropping-In Partv*
Surprise parties are rather out of
date now’, but there’s a “dropping-in”
party that’s heaps more fun. The
guests, instead o£ coming in a crowd,
“drop in” at intervals of five minutes.
Of course the “surprised one” never
knows when all the guests have ar¬
rived. Each one brings some goodv—
cakes or nuts or oranges or candy—
and wheu all have “dropped in” the
spread takes place. Of course the sur¬
prised one’s mother must be in the
secret.
