the family tomb. This particular
t.napiinwas a naturalist, and, among
bis other etg i.ad a large eray bat.
The bat was permitted to enter the
tomb and was sealed up alive with the
corpse of his dead master. In 1S06 the
vault was opened, and, to the surprise
oi an, me nat was alive and fat. On
four different occasions since the Chap

it has been reported that the bat was
in the land of the living, although oc

A play recently written for a pop.
ular comedian is founded on a tragic
occurrence in which Dr. J. M. Kellar,
former!? of Louisville, but now of
Hot Springs, Ark., was an a tor.
The story was told to Mr. Gardner,
who repeated It to James R. Garey,
and the last-named gentleman taw
the dramatic pcw-ibll ties. The inci
dent occurred during the war, sayt
the Courier-Journal. Dr. Kellar was
an army surgeon, and was stationed
at Nashville. One night at the
Nashville Club two offlcera, a Majoi
and a Colonel bad a misunderstand
ing during a card game, and the lie
was passed. Immediately there was
a challenge. The Colonel, who was a
comparative stranger, called on Dr.
Kellar to act as bis second, and gave
him letters of Introduction, showing
that be was a gentleman and a bra
soldier. Preliminaries were arranged,
and the belHrferents with their sec
onds met on the field of honor the
next morning at sunrise. The dis
tance was measured off, the princi
pals were stationed, and '-one, two"
Jhad been counted, when the Colonel
threw up his hand aud declared he
could not and would not tight He
declined to give bis reasons and was
branded is a coward. Dr. Ke.lar.
who knew the man must have a valid
excuse, stood by him and requested
the others to say nothing of the affaii
until proper explanations were made.
When the doctor reached bis hotel be
found a note from the Coloneu which
only added to the mystery. He de
clined toexpla o his apparent cow
ardly action, but said that time would
show he had acted rightly. He left
Nashville and was afterward heaid
of only from the seat of war, and in
all cases was spoken of as a brave,
learless soldier. At last came the
news of his death, and with it a let
ter to Dr. Kellar that had been found
on the dead mau's body. It cleared
the mystery. This letter stated thai
Just as the Colonel raised his weapon
to ure in the duel his antagonist, the
Major, bad gen the distress sign ol
a secret organization of which both
were members, and the Colonel could
not and would not violate his oath
by dlsicgardlng the signal. Dr.
Kellar bunted down the cowardly
Major, made him acknowledge the
truth ot the statement, and then haJ
him dismissed from the army In dis
grace.

A Congressman from the Western
slope tells several good stories at the
expense of his wife, who is an inde
fatigable caller. There are two chil
dren In their family, and the lady,
having a couple of visitors from ber
native Mate, decided to take one of
the children aged 5 with her while
the visitors were put through the
round of cabinet calls. As they were
going into the home of the Secretary
of Agriculture Mrs. Congressman
said to the ladies: "I'm going to
introduce you as armers' wives, If
I don't I won't have anything to talk
about here. "
The ladies assented, regarding the
deception in the light ot a good joke.
The laugh, however, was on them,
for when Mrs. Congressman performed
the tntioductlon with explanatory
additions, Master Five- i ear-Old
opened his eyes In wldeastonishnient,
followed suit with his sweet little
mouth and lisped:
"My Aunt Carrie isn't a farmer."

A Typical Hummer Costume.
A typical cotton gown that might

soft zephyr which makes up so well,
does not wrinkle and may, with care,
be worn an entire summer, writes
Isabel A. Mai Ion in an exquisitely

nal The skirt is rather close-fitting
until ju t above the knees, where it
Is apparently cut off, and a deep, full
flounce added to it. The beading of
this llounce Is formed by the gather
ing, and from under this gathering
falls a flounce of coarse white lace,
headed by a narrow black sat n rib
bon which seems to be twisted. At
regular intervals it is caught by a
tluy black ribbon rosette. The bodice
is a rouna one with a plain back, and
the material cut so that the pointed
elTcct 1 referred to is achieved. One
side of the trout is quite plain and
the other side Is aery fuil, not fitted
at ull, but drawn over in folds across
the bust and fastened low down on
the other side. The gloves worn with
this gown are black and the parasol
a plain black silk one. The bonnet
isa dainty one of black and white.

are, in rvery respect, unrivaled.
Avoid all baking powders sold with a gift or

In the early days of the gold excite
ment in California a young German
from Michigan departed for California,
and, after prospecting for a while, set
tled there. His name was John O. Al
mor.dinger, aud wishing to American
ize himself as much as possible he ap
plied to the legislature of California
and had his name changed to John U.
Almond. In a few days later a man
named John Smith applied to the same
legislature, and after reciting a long
catalogue of the ills to which he was
subject owing to bis unfortunately
common name, he said in conclusion:
"And whereas I have noticed that you
curtailed the name of J. 0. Almonding
er to J. G. Almond and have not dis
posed of the 'inger,' which seems to be
lying around loose, I respectfully re
quest that the same may be added to
my name." The result of this appeal is

To the rentiers of the papers:
I send herewith greeting from the
headquarters of the State Historical
society, with the compliments of the
season. The society always has an axe
to grind, and this time it is to gather
into its new and fireproof quarter all
the Indian relies that can be bad.
These are fast disappearing and the
time is dose at hand when there will
b no more to be had. Since the state
first bekun being settled by whites,
Indian implements, such as knives,
bows, arrows, stone axes and hammers,
corn and meal pestles and mortars and
a hundred different articles of Indian
use and make, have been collected into
the hands of individuals all over the
state. This has been fortunate, for
until now there has been no Historical
society to preserve them. Hut the
time seems to have come for gathering
the e relics into one great state collec
tion, where the students of Indian
customs can come to study them. Some
perhaps will not want to let valuable
relics pass out of their pessession. Such
should place their material in the State
Historical society as loan collections,
which can be removed at any time by
the owners. Hut it would be far bet
ter to place all valuable historical
things permanently in the rooms of the
society, there to be monuments of the
early history of the state f.et all help
to niske Nebraska's one of the best and
largest collections in the state.
