A Reverie of
Old Jamestown
By DWIGHT NORWOOD
Coming from Fort Monroe north
ward by tho Jnmes river, the boat
stopped at Jamestown. There nro two
most Important spots historically In
tho United States, Jamestown and
Plymouth rock, tho former being the
moro Important from Us age. I was
curious to see It and, leaving tho boat,
remained there long enough to loso
myself In a reverie concerning It.'
Thero Is nothing thcro today to
dream about unless It bo tho tower of
the church built by tho Inhabitants of
tho settlement who went there a llttlo
over GOO years ago. No moro uninter
esting spot lu Itself exists In America.
It is an open flat space on tho north
east bank of the river, whoso yellow
waters have eaten away a considera
ble part of tho site of the town.
And now for my dream.
The report of a gun fired out on tho
bosom of the yellow waters. I look
ed and saw a miniature ship very
high In tho stern and forward, much
ornamented and the sail on tho main
mast bearing the arms of England.
From the shore a boat was about to
put out bearing a huge cask. 1 got
aboard and was pulled to tho ship.
"What's guing on?" I asked of one
of the oarsmen, who, by the bye, all
wore doublets with broad collar, knee
breeches and hose.
"Sale of rc-Jotnptlonors," was the re
ply. When we boarded the vessel, the
Royal James, rum was served from
the cask, and the sale commenced.
There were twenty men and four wo
men to be sold to whomsoever would
pay their passage money from Eng
land, with a handsome bonus to the
person who had advanced the funds
They were to bo bound to their pur
chaser till they had worked out the
amount he had paid and until then
were held ns redetnptionera, which
meant n limited period of slavery.
Several men were sold for sums
ranging from f0 to 100, though the
amount was paid In tobacco. All the
women were sold for wives with their
consent. There was one damsel not
twenty years old who was so comely
that I approached and nsked her what
had Induced her to come out to so
melancholy a place as Jamestown.
"Please sir," she replied, "I come
from bounle Scotland. My mother
dinna like it because I wouldna marry
nuld Roderick MacTavlsh and shut me
up. But I got out, and a man with
gold n;plenty sent me out as a redemp
tloner, IIo must be paid 00 for my
passago and a' the prollt there is
in me."
"And if I pay the G0 will you mar
ry mo?"
"That I will," replied the girl, "be
cause you're so much better than old
Roderick MacTavlsh, and I'll mi have
to work out the money owing for
sending mo here."
And so I paid the G0 in tobacco,
which went back to England in the
ship, nnd tho girl was carried ashoro
with mo. On landing wo wcut up a
benteii path leading to tho church. I
found the parson, nnd we were mar
ried. This was when Captain John Smith
was Indefatigable In keeping the colo
ny together nnd supplying our wants,
but after a time he left us to make
explorations of the coast and then to
go to England. Our men became dis
couraged nnd would not work. Food
must bo got by hunting or tilling tho
earth, and the people would do neither.
So hunger nnd sickness came upon us,
nnd wo diminished rapidly. Some went
back to England, nnd some, leaving
Jamestown, went back from the river
Into tho country.
When 1 snw that Jamestown was
doomed, taking my Scotch wife with
me, 1 went back from the river Into
tho interior nnd. settling myself on
a piece of laud, built a house and
raised tobacco I prospered, and, other
families settling near me. in time we
became a community. Though my
wife and 1 grew old, our children grew
up after us to be men and women,
and the country about us lost its prim
itive loneliness. But the river was al
ways the same. At times 1 was obliged
to go to it for the purpose of shipping
my tobacco, and it always gave mo the
blues.
But we on the peninsula between
the river and the bay were a merry lot.
mooting oftentimes at each other's
plantation, where our children danced
nnd feasted, for wo were not tho mot
fey lot we were when wo settled at
Jamestown. Some proud families in
England who had met with reverses,
or younger sons, also tho Cavaliers who
had been beaten by Oliver Cromwell,
came over and settled among ns. We
gave them wolcomoandn helping hand,
and in time they became, like our
selves, successful planters.
This was my reverie as I sat on the
bank of tho James river looking at tho
melancholy sceno about me. Vet It
was no crentlon. but what I had read
In tho annals of my family. My first
nncestor lu America was a citizen of
Jamestown, and ho married a redemp
tloner of Scotch nntlvlty. They be
came planters In the neighborhood of
Williamsburg, and their grandson was
a professor In William and Mnry col
lege. Tho branch of their descendants
from which I sprang gravitated after
tho Revolution iiorthwnrd, and lu the
war between the stntes we fought
against our brethren In tho peninsula
where our first American progenitors
raised tobacco.
Atop of Mount McKlnley.
Archdeacon Stuck lu his nccount of
his climb to tho summit of Mount Mc
Klnley, "Tho Ascent of Dennll," gives
this description of his Impressions
upon reaching It: "Immediately before
us, In tho direction In which wo had
climbed, lay nothing; a void, n sheer
gulf many thousands of feet deep, nnd
one shrnnk back Instinctively from the
little pnrapet of snow basin when one
had glanced at the awful profundity.
Across the gulf, nboi a.000 feet be
neath us and fifteen or twenty miles
I way, sprang most splendidly Into view
the great mnss of DennlPa Wife, or
Mount Foraker, ns some white men
misname her, tilling majestically all
the middle distance. And never
was nobler sight displayed to man than
that great Isolated mountain, spread
out completely, with all Its spurs and
ridges, Its cliffs and Its glaciers, lofty
and mighty, and yet far beneath us.
Beyond stretched, blue and
vague to the southwest, the wide val
ley of the KusUokwlm, with an end of
all luiiuntalns. It was, however,
to the south ami the east that the
most marvelous prospect opened be
fore us.
The Salt Sea Legend
There Is a legend in the Norse scalds
which explains why the sea is salt.
The "bountilul Frodl," whoso tnythlcdl
lelgn was a golden age Indeed, pos
sessed u quern, or hnnd mill, which
ground out gold and peace, but which
would grind out stores of anything de
sired by Its owner. Two giant maid
ens, ruled over by Frodl. were the
grinders In an evil day a sea rover
came upou the scene, slew Frodl and
carried off the quern and the two
giant maidens who worked It. When
the sea rover's vessel was right out at
sea he ordered the maidens to grind
salt At midnight they nsked If thoy
had not ground enough. The sen rov
er, angry at being awakened from his
sleep, commanded them to grind until
morning. Now, the giant maidens nat
urally enough worked very quickly, so
ns they went on grinding tho load of
snlt grew so heavy that it sauk tho
ship, and now the sea will continue
salt forever.
Magnificent Voracity.
One of tho most noteworthy Importa
tions in the slaughter of the gypsy
moth has been an active green beetle,
a tiger In the moth world. Here is a
terrible creature lildecd a creature of
Intrepid ferocity and magnificent vo
racity. Beside him tho hog Is n beast
of most delicate appetite. The green
beetle would devour ten times his
weight In gypsy moth caterpillars in a
single day and be ready to dupllcnte
this performance on the morrow. Ills
nominal two seasons of nctlve llfo are
a wild orgy of slaying and fenstlng.
Ills span of mortality includes a mere
fortnight of larval life and two brief
summers of adult existence, represent
ing less than five mouths of activity
altogether, but during this time ho will
normally devour nearly G50 gypsy moth
caterpillars or pupae as big as himself.
A single pair have been observed to eat
2,000 caterpillars within eight weeks,
gluttony almost beyond belief. Cen
tury. Making Sure.
Lord Sullleld went with the then
Prince of Wales to India In 1S75. At
one place the governor felt nervous be
cause among his peoplo there were a
number of political and religious fa
natics who might bo expected to make
trouble when the prince passed
through. He was strongly tempted to
lock them all up, but this would hnvo
been a somewhat high handed action,
nnd tho governor hesitated to en
force it
no mentioned his difficulty to one or
his daughters.
"But why not glvo n garden party,
papa?"' she replied at ouce. "Invito
them all and keep them entertained
until tho prluco has passed through."
So a fanatics' garden party was giv
en with great success in the grounds
of the Jail. London Express.
A Pious Advertisement.
Tho following advertisement wns
printed In tho Pennsylvania Gazette
for Juno 23, 1787. The author of this
little masterpiece Is supposed to be no
other than Frnnklln himself. "D. F.."
then, stands for Deborah Franklin:
"Taken out of a pew lu tho church

D. F. on each cover. Tho person who
took It Is advised to open it and rend
tho eighth commandment nnd after
ward return It into tho same pew

will be taken."
Drowned Bodies.
No bumnn body after drowning can
remain sunk longer than ninety or ninety-six
hours. Although nil air has been
expelled from tho lungs by tho Inhaled
water, tho drowned body will bo float
ed by tho gases which begin to form
In any dead body Immediately after

THE SEMI-WEEKLY TRIBUNE. NORTH PLATTE. NEBRASKA.
An Episode
Of Mexico
By ESTHER VANDERVEER
A girl sat sewing lu her room In the
City of Mexico. Hearing a footstep on
the stair, she started. A woman en !
tered out of breath.
"Inez!" she gasped,
"Oh, Peplta! What Is It?"
"If you have anything to compromise
you with the Constitutionalists get rid
of It at once. This man Manuel Coral,
whom you have trusted, Is a spy of the
dictator. He has Informed upon you."
"Then what use to get rid of evi
dence? The dictator does not need evi
dence to get rid of his victims."
"Coral's brother, Knrlquo. camo to
mo and said to me: '1 have Just learn
ed that Manuel Is lu the secret service
of the dictator and has Informed the
tyrant that by searching Inez's room
ho will find papers revealing the plan
of tho revolutionists.' Knrlquo assured i
mo that If no such papers are found J
you will not be troubled. If they are

Inez burst Into tears. Tho man she
loved had turned traitor to her. But
her friend urged her to waste no time
in getting rid of nny compromising)
documents she might possess. She did !
possess several Important ones, for her
brother wns one of the revolutionary
chiefs, and ho was using her to lay
plans for a rising against the dictator
lu the City of Mexico. But Inez had
received too terrible a blow In the
treachery of her lover to keep her mind
on what sho wns doing. After she had
destroyed every document, ns she sup
posed, she remembered ou.o sho had
not destroyed thnt gave a list of per
sons In the city who could bo relied
on to desert tho dictator and Join the
revolutionists as soon ns lighting com

It was granted. Before doing so sho
