the development of forsil beds which
have lately been found In that section.
A collection of pieces of human Im
ages that instantly excite speculation
as to their origin and age Is now In a
modest museum at Neosho Falls, a
small torsn in Neosho county. Ethnol
ogy throws no light on their history.
In fact, from all the writers on prehis
toric America can no theory of the or
igin of these images be obtained. They
seem to be unlike any heretofore found
on the continent. It Is certain, at least
that nothing res-mbling them has ever
been found in this part of the United
States, and they will add new and In
teresting pag-s to the works of au
thorities of antiquities. .
So recently have they been found
that there has been no opportunity for
more than a vague conjecture us to
their age and probable creators; the
first scientist Is yet to Inspect them.
They can have no significance with the
fossil finds in this part of the state,
though they may serve to confirm the

section. Other pieces are in the form
of breasts, feet, arms and shoulders,
parts of the head, etc. Few of them
are Intact, but nearly all of them can
be designated at sight as parts of hu
man forms. The proportions of all
pieces seem to be perfect, and there Is
nothing to Indicate that they are the
distorted Aztec Images, such as have
been found in Mexico and Central
America.

have appeared here simultaneously in
the past year. One seems to represent
a period of at least seml-clvllization,
and, while it Is the common belief that
the fossils are of a more modern age,
It is possible that they are as old as
the fragments of images.
The collection of pieces of human
Images belongs to J. AV. Dice, a farmer
living near Neosho Falls, who also has
some valuable fossil ppeclmens. Thre
are seventy pieces In It, and that they
are the genuine cr-ation of a people
quite advanced In art there Is no ques

gravel bars along the Neosho river,

"My Initial experience with the punch

winter of 18M-99, after our ineffectual
attempts to inject ourselves Into the
struggle In Cuba. The officers of our
regiment were Invited to a ball given
at the best club I ever enjoyed the hos

NEWSPAPER MEN TRIED IT.
"I don't know what they put in the
punch; it is a southern secret, but I im
agine that there is a blend of superior
moonshine whiskey and champagne in
it somewhere. A couple of New York
newspaper men came to Huntsville to
report our movements for their pa

punch like a Rrooklynite goes at Per

apiece they moved the piano down

Noah Raby, Middlesex county's famou
old man.
Raby will celebrate his one hundred
and twenty-eighth birthday tomorrow.
He says he has smoked since he can
remember, certainly 120 years, and haa
drank whisky whenever he could get
It during almost as long a space of
time. "Maybe it will shorten my life,"
he says, "but I really don't think It
will."
For over thirty years he has been an

poorhouse at Stelton, about three miles
from this city. He is bent and twisted
with age and rheumatism. He is tooth
less and sightless, but his other facul
ties are perfect, and his mind and
memory are faultless. His head is larg
and finely shaped. It is crowned by a
mass of white hair. A full beard cow
ers nearly all of his face. He is very
proud of his long hair and beard.
Raby is an inveterate smoker. H
says that his mother used to tell of
the first time he ever smoked. She had
been blowing smoke rings to amuse hint
and laid down her pipe for a moment.
He at once seized It and was pvfllnc
away energetically when she returned.
He was Boundly spanked, but this did
not break him, for he has smoked and!
chewed for the last hundred yearn. Upt
to the age of ninety years he was a

He never married, although he had
one romance. When about twenty-eight
years of age he was overseer on a to

widow of Cotton Parker. Mrs., Parker
was a remarkably beautiful woman of
great wealth. Raby did not have th
courage to confess his love, but made
a confidant of a negro slave named
Uncle Mingo, who offered to "hoodoo'"
Mrs. Parker so that she could not resist
