DESPERATE HEROISM
An Incident of the Indian Fishtins
Days In Illinois
The desperate intrepidity and war
like heroism of the early settlers of Il
linois are illustrated by an incident
narrated in Historic Illinois The
early days were a time of hardship
danger and death Every forest covert
every tuft of prairie grass might hide
some skulking red enemy Among the
early frontiersmen was a Captain
Whiteside whose name became a ter
ror among the Kickapoos
A party of fourteen white men led by
Whiteside made an attack upon an en
campment of Indians of greatly supe
rior force Only one Indian escaped
During the heat of the skirmish Cap
tain Whiteside was severely wounded
he thought mortally having received a
shot in the side
As he fell he called to his sons to
keep on fighting and not to yield an
inch of ground or permit the savages
to touch his body Uel Whiteside who
had also been shot in tbe arm so that
he could no longer use his rifle hastily
examined his fathers wound discover
ing that the bullet had glanced along
the ribs and lodged against the spine
With that daring and disregard for
pain so often characteristic of border
men he immediately whipped out his
knife gashed the skin extracted the
ball and held it up crying
Youre not dead yet father
The old man leaped to his feet re
newed the fight and bore his full part
to the end Many such instances of
heroism distinguished the men who in
those days of peril were called upon to
defend the frontiers of Illinois
EASILY SCARED
An Adventnre Witli a Rhinoceros In
Cast Africa
Of a curious encounter with a rhi
noceros an African traveler writes in
the Globe Trotter published in Nairobi
British East Africa He was peace
fully grazing on a choice patch of green
stuff and apparently meant to do the
well bred thing and allow us to pass
by so with my heart in my mouth
nothing in my pockets and an empty
magazine rifle in my hand I attempted
a slide for a more secure position But
I was immediately foiled of this ob
ject by a suspicious movement on the
part of the enemy A swish of the tail
a suggestive uplifting of the snout and
a sniff of the atmosphere and the deli
cate and fairylike creature bore down
ponderously upon my two native bear
ers and myself
Aly knees promptly refused to work
I could not move a muscle and so witl
all the British pluck and courage c
which we have read so much I calmly
resigned myself By this time the hide
ous beauty had advanced to within ten
yards of its prey when to my surprise
the two boys accompanying me hastily
dismantled themselvesof all baggage

and wTtlTall muscles stretched really
for a sprint they stood their ground
and without moving an inch began to
whistle for all they were worth
Quickly noting the satisfactory re
sult of the maneuver I blew my
whistle hastily and with good will
The shrill notes struck strangely on the
untutored ear of the rhino for he
promptly turned tail and fled
A Short Cut
There goes a man observed a
steamship agent as he directed atten
tion to a surly looking individual who
had just engaged passage for Europe
whose efforts are devoted to con
structing short cuts in business meth
ods and in eliminating all time con
suming men and their propositions
from his busy existence He is a man
of very few words Some years ago
this gentleman crossed the ocean and
had a very unpleasant trip One morn
ing a sympathetic passenger offered
him a lemon expressing a sincere wish
that it would give relief The pale
traveler seized the lemon hurled it
viciously into the ocean and growled
This is a quicker way than the
other New York Times

As a people the Moors are already
well inclined to anything that gilds

at the passersby exchanging compli
ments with their acquaintances Na

with a piece of felt under their arms
on which to sit when they wish

A GENEROUS CRITIC
Story of Join Osenford n Once Fp
mons London Character
John Oxenford was for years the
leading theatrical critic of Loudon
Mr Oxenford was troubled with a seri
ous bronchial affection which occa
sionally disturbed the audience for he
refused to give up his beloved theater
although desperately ill A certain ris
ing young actor was very anxious to
obtain Oxenfords valuable opinion on
his work and the tender hearted old
gentleman literally left his bed and
came down to the theater on a bitter
cold night to do a good action to a
clever youngster In the middle of one
of the actors finest scenes on came the
cough from the Oxenford box It con
tinued so long that it unnerved the
actor and he came to a dead stop To
the surprise of everybody he advanced
to the front and said Ladies and gen
tlemen I am sorry to say that unless
the old gentleman with the irritating
cough retires temporarily from the
theater I really cannot go on I forget
everything It is painful so to address
you but I am powerless in the matter
and place myself in your hands
The disturbance at once ceased and
the box was empty When the cur
tain fell a friend rushed around and
breathless said to the distressed actor
Do you know what you have done
Do you know who it was that you turn
ed out of the box I neither know
nor care was the reply Why it
was John Oxenford The actor was
paralyzed but he got his good notice all
the same The veteran critic went
home coughing to praise the young
actor who had turned him out
JUDGING DOGS
The Rules by Which the Different
Points Are Valued
The average man is greatly puzzled
to find one dog awarded a first prize
and another which to him appears to
be quite as fine a specimen awarded
no prize at all A man who knows the
relative values of the different points
in all breeds of dogs is a veritable
walking encyclopedia
Generally speaking the best dog is
one which comes nearest the standard
of requirements for its own particular
breed about 23 per cent of the points
being usually awarded for fine head
proportions an equal number for legs
and feet a similar number for body
and color and the rest for symmetry
In the Dalmatian for instance thirty
points are given for color and mark
ings while head eyes and ears have
only fifteen the bulldog on the other
hand has forty five for head and ears
while coat and color amount to but five
points the collie has twenty five for
coat color being Immaterial and twenty-five
for head and ears
The St Bernard has forty for head
and ears and five each for coat and
color ThePomeranian has but fifteen

The Ants Coiv
The aphis one of the most widely
distributed species of insects known to
the entomologists is sometimes re
ferred to as the ants cow The aphis
actually gives milk although the crea
ture itself is so small that it is esti
mated to weigh but the one one-thousandth
of a grain Out of the back of
the aphis project two hollow tubes
These connect with ducts in the body
which secrete a sweet liquid When
the tubes are touched the liquid exudes
in small drops The ants know this
and they make a regular business of
tickling the tubes of the little aphis to
make her give down her milk The
ant is very fond of this saccharine food
and will milk a hundred aphides in
the course of an hour
Why He Resigned
The French Baron Rothschild once
had in his service a valet named Al
phonse first class but an acknowl
edged red This valet obtained per
mission once a week to attend the
meetings of his Socialist lodge Sud
denly the baron noticed that Alphonse
no longer desired this off night and in
quiring into the cause was informed
that the valets late Socialist colleagues
had worked out a calculation that if
all the wealth of France were divided
equally per capita each individual
would be the possessor of 2000 francs
Monsieur said Alphonse with dig
nity I resigned I have 5000 francs

Henpecked husbands are found even
in India A writer says To live as I
have done in a Hindoo house especial
ly when the real house mistress is a
masterful and deeply religious widow
who is grandmother to the babies and
mother to their parents is no longer to
wonder at the absolute terror with
which men speak of the stri achchar
For the men of India are poor souls
the most henpecked in the world
Too Much Heart
