BURIED IN CEMENT
Tho Story of an Arab Boy Who Re
nounced Mohammedanism
According to history there was born
about the year 1520 an Arab hoy
named Geroulmo ne was captured in
Infancy by the Spanish garrison at
Oran and when about eight years old
he escaped from his captors and went
back to his family living as a Moham
medan until the age of twenty five
He then volutarlly returned to Oran
and resumed the Christian life which
he had adopted previously when In
the hands of the Spanish authorities
A few years later he went on a coast
ing raid with a party of Spaniards
but the raiders were themselves cap
tured by a Moorish corsair and
brought to Algiers Here the attempt
was made to convert him to Moham
medanism but he persistently refused
to embrace that faith so that he was
tried and condemned to die His hands
were tied behind his back and he was
cast alive face downward Into a block
of concrete then being prepared for
the Fort des VIngt Quatre Heures
then building Careful note was taken
of the spot by Haido a Spanish Bene
dictine missionary to Algiers who
prayed tho time might come when the
Lord would pave the way for his ex
humation and Christian burial In
1853 the French found it necessary to
destroy the fort and the data left by
Haido were found to be correct for the
designated block of concrete on being
cut open disclosed the bones of Geron
imo and the cavity left by his body
The bones were removed Dec 27 1853
and given Christian burial and they
now rest In a massive stone sarcopha
gus In the cathedral A plaster cast
was made of the cavity and afterward
photographed Cement Age
AN UNCONQUERED PEAK
Lizard Head on Mount Wilson Has De
fied the Climbers
The mountains and peaks of the Sau
Juan in northwestern Colorado pre
sent a different appearance from any
of the northern Rockies
They are grander more precipitous
with sharper pinnacles and more jag
ged in outline In height Mounts Mass
ive Elbert and Blanca slightly out
rank those of the San Juan but no
where else can be found whole groups
of mountains rearing their heads to
and above 14000 feet
Mount Wilson 142o0 feet the dom
inant peak is one of the most massive
iu the entire Rocky mountain range
Just east of this mountain Is the re
markable trachyte obelisk called Liz
ard head The vivid imagination of
an early pioneer who had been seeing
things is said to be responsible for
the name
The summit is 14100 feet above the
sea From a ponderous base the pin
nacle rises 290 feet with a diameter at
IUC 1UUI Ul UU1J ilUUUt E1 1 ItKl
ually tapering to less than half that at
the top
Lizard head has defied all attempts
of mountain climbers to reach its sum
mit The foot of the pinnacle is easily
accomplished but thus far the steep
sides of the 290 foot shaft have proved
insurmountable No doubt the time
will come when the venturesome
mountain climber will find a way but
many a failure is the record of the
past
Trains circle this mountain for miles
on the way from Telluride to Rico

Two Horse Tales
An Albanian who had been in an
eastern state while freshets were in
full swing told the following about a
horse which had been attached to a
footbridge crossing a brook to keep
the structure from going adrift The
flood finally swept horse and bridge
down stream Later the bridge was
discovered lodged against the bank
with the horse sitting quietly on the
former
A bystander who had listened intent
ly to this tale remarked quietly
I see suthin similyar oncet
Indeed What was it asked the
story teller
Ye see was the reply arter the
boss I see was took down stream no-
buddy ever spected to see- him alive
agin But he was a powful sort o
brute an bout a hour afterward we
see him a comin up stream a pullin

Mortar Tossers
There is no hod carrying in Japan
The native builders have a method of
transporting mortar which makes it
seem more like play than work to the
onlooker The mortar is mixed in a
pile in the street One man makes
this up into balls of about six pounds
weight which he tosses to a man who
stands on a ladder midway between
the roof and the ground This man
deftly catches the ball and tosses it up
to a man who stands on the roof

HIS PAPERWEIGHT
Travels of
Bottle of Wine and
Its
Ultimate Fate
A paperweight consisting of a piece
of thick glass with a tokay wine label
fastened ou the back and showing
through Is a part of the desk furniture
in the library of a man who goes to
Europe nearly every year People
look at the thing he said and won
der what the wine label is doing there
and when I see the question coming I
always tell the story
Some years ago I went to Raab In
Hungarj where I called ou an old
lady who In Vienna 3ears before had
shown much Interest in and befriend
ed a young American student at the
university The poor student had
grown to be a rich physician and he
wanted me to call and present his
compliments When I was about to
leave after a pleasant visit the wo
man handed me a bottle of wine which
had come from her estate and asked
me to take it to our mutual friend I
carted that bottle all over Europe
paid duty on it several times and final
ly landed It safe and sound here in the
house A few days after my return
we invited the doctor for dinner and
the bottle was brought In with much
ceremony I made a little presenta
tion speech and then in handing it to
the doctor dropped it on the floor

HORSE AND DOG
Contact With Civilization Lessens
Their Cunning and Sagacity
The dog is no doubt the most intelli
gent of our domestic animals and I
yield to none In my affection for him
I can almost eat and sleep with a fine
dog winter and summer But I try not
to deceive myself about his intelli
gence It seems to me that if the dog
had the least spark of wit akin to our
own that Is power of reason his
long association with man would have
fanned it into a flame however small
But after all these thousands of
years of human companionship and
love he has less wit in some respects
than his wild brothers the fox and
the wolf Having been spared the
struggle to live that falls to their lot
his cunning and sagacity have deterio
rated The same is true of the horse
which has less Intelligence than the
wild stallion of the plains and for the
same reason
These animals do not grow wiser as
they grow less wild They do not civi
lize or develop Ye train them into
certain ways that make them service
able to us we humanize them without
adding to their mental capacity In
other words we cannot cross our in
telligence upon theirs and make it
fruitful in them The germ will not
take John Burroughs In Outing Mag

English House Names
House owners are sometimes rather
unfortunate in their selection of names
for their abodes and in suburbia house
naming is occasionally rather ludicrous
Thus The Maples has never a ma
ple near The Rosary only exists in
imagination Sunnyside is the most
depressing villa residence and houses
named after the English lakes no more
suggest the lake district than Fleet
street suggests the Bois de Boulogne
The Anglo Saxon word hyrst sig
nifying a forest or wood has become
hurst in house naming and wood
and holt have the same meaning
All house names ending with these ter
minations are pretty and not unsafe to
choose
It is curious to note that in Ilastlngs
and St Leonards quite a number of
houses have typically Saxon names
perhaps to commemorate the great
baxon tragedy or wliicn the name
Hastings is reminiscent

WELL AGAIN
Noted Oregon Statesman Restored to Health
on Recent Eastern Trip
Hon Shiller B Herman distin
guished statesman and legislator of
Portland Oregon who was recently on
an eastern trip is among those strong
ly in favor of T Cooper in the dis
cussion over Cooper and his medicines
which has raged for the past year in
cities visited by the young man on his
uuueauve campaigns as he calls them
Cooper was explaining his new the
ories ana meaicmes to Boston people
during the Oregonians visit to that
city and in a recent interview Mr
Herman said My trip east accom
plished more for me than T ptop iio
iieved possible It has actually been
the means of restoring my health
While in Boston I heard a great deal
about this man Cooper and his medi
cines and one morning I talked with
a Boston banker who told me that he
had been relieved by Coopers medi
cines after ten years chronic dyspep
sia For the past twenty years I have
been a fearful sufferer with nervous
dyspepsia It has been so bad that it
all but forced me to resitm frnm tha
legislature j
I was feeling wretchedly that morn
ing and I made up my mind to try
the medicine I had seen leading phy
sicians without number both East and
West They had been unable to help
me in the least and I no more her
Iieved this Cooper medicine could help
me than it could bring a dead man
uacK 10 Hie i really dont know why
I bought it It was like a drowning
man clutching at a straw
To make a long story short it has
been astonishingly successful in my
case Today I am enjoying a sound
stomach and perfect health for the
first time in twenty years I can eat
neartily without the slightest inconve
nience afterward I have a fine appe
tite and sleep well I am no longer
moody and depressed and my nervous
ness has entirely disappeared
Any man who has chronic dyspep
sia owes it to his family to try this
medicine
In all our experience as druggists
we have never seen anything to sur
pass the famous Cooper preparations
