BE CURSED THE TOWN END OF THE FIRST CAPITAL OF ILLI? NOIS PROPHESIED BY AN INDIAN. Yne Destruction of the Town of Ku Scaskia WM In Accordance With the Last Words of the Chief Who jf Died For a Woman's Love. Since the waters of the Mississippi ?iver washed away the last vestige of Kaskaskia, the first capital of Illinois, aa old legend that contained the proph ?7 of the total destruction of the once ?ourishing little city has been recalled. Kaskaskia was situated on a peninsula at the junction of the Kaskaskia and Sfce Mississippi rivers, and in 1SS2 the ?Ktosissippi river cut its way through ?Jfce peninsula, leaving the remnant of 3be town on an island. The water con? firmed to wash away the rich alluvial deposits on which Kaskaskia was built 3Hit?\ late in 1900, the last foot of the Jfand where the town once stood disap? peared. This singular ending of Kas Jfcaskia's once splendid ambitions has ascalled to the superstitious the story ?fchat the town was cursed in the eight? eenth century by an Indian who had Jfeeea wronged by one of the leading Citizens. : Jean Benard came to this country ?firom France in 16?S, bringing with him &s wife and his 10-year-old daughter ?Marie. The family settled in Kaskas? kia, where Benard established a mer ?faandising business. The Frenchman ?soon became one of the most prosper? ous and most influential men of the .luwu. Marie, his daughter, grew to be a beautiful woman, much courted by .fte most eligible young men. of the new country. She was in no hurry to ac icept any of them, and her fame as a telle spread from Lake Michigan to the ?nlf of Mexico. A young chief of the Kaskaskia tribe #af Indians, having become converted ?bo Christianity after several years of istudy under the tutelage of the Jesu? its, built himself a house in Kaskaskia *and was taken into partnership in one ?f the trading houses there. He was ^prosperous, handsome and well edu? cated and was soon received into the Lomes of the white settlers. One night at a Ball he happened to meet Marie Benard. The girl was at once fascinated by ihe tall, fine looking Indian, who fell in love with her at first sight and made no secret of his admiration. But Be iTwrd pere soon noticed the attachment ?and forbade his daughter from commu ?aicating with the young Indian. To ?make sure that there would be no more ?meetings Benard used his influence to ?prevent the chief from attending any iot the social entertainments given in Kaskaskia, But love always finds a way. and the young couple managed to see each oth? er -despite all the precautions of the girl's father. But Benard became aware of these meetings and again took means to prevent them. He was .a man of wealth and influence, and he aad the Indian forced out of his part? nership in the trading company. The Indian left Kaskaskia. For al? most a year nothing was heard of him, -and Benard thought that his daughter ?ad forgotten her lover, for she ap? peared gay and careless, and she ac? cepted with apparent pleasure the at? tentions of a young Frenchman. One night when a large bali at Kaskaskia .was at its height Marie Benard disap? peared. Those who searched for Marie dis? covered that the young chief of the Kaskaskians had been seen that even? ing in the town, and the conclusion was at once reached that the girl had eloped with him. Benard at once organized a party to go in pursuit of the fugitives. As there was a heavy snow on the ground, their trail was easily discov? ered and followed. The Indian and Marie had crept away afoot, and as ?their pursuers were supplied with fast aorses the young lovers were captured after a day'? chase about 40 miles from Kaskaskia. Their destination had been the French settlement at St. Louis, where the Indian had provided a home Tor his wife. The Indian surrendered without re? sistance, and the posse started on the Journey back to Kaskaskia. taking the two captlvea. Most of the men who composed Benard's party wanted to kill the Indian instantly, but Benard would not allow It, for he said that they should leave him to deal with his daughter's lover. When the party reached Kaskaskia. the girl was placed In the convent there. Thea Benard took the Indian to the bank of the Mississippi and. binding him tightly to a log. turned bim adrift in the river. As the help Jess Indian floated away to his death tte raised his eyes to heaven and cursed Benard, who. he declared, would die a violent death. The Indian's last words were a prophecy that within 200 years the waters which were then tiearing bim away would sweep from the earth every vestige of the town, so that only the name would be left. The unhappy girl died In the convent. Benard was killed In 1T12 m a dueL The last trace of Kaskaskia has been obliterated, and the superstitious de? clare that the Indian's curse has had something to do with the passing of the once flourishing town. On dark and stormy nights the ghost of the Indian said to appear. The specter, with strong arms bound and face upturned, floats slowly by on the river where the stream sweeps by the site of the van? ished city in which Marie Benard once lived and in which she died mourning the red man that she loved.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

Bernhardt Played Fedora For Tarin at 30 Cents n Mend. Sarah Bernhardt, the great French actress, once played in Sullivan. Ind.. at 35 cents a head. It was many years ago, and Bern? hardt was making a tour of the coun? try. On the way from Louisville to Indianapolis the train was stopped at Sullivan by the news that a serious freight wreck had occurred a few milos up the road completely blocking the tracks and making progress to Indian? apolis impossible until the next day. "Very well." said the manager in ex? cellent French and with forced calm? ness. "Since ve cannot leave town we will give a performance here." "Impossible," said Mme. Bernhardt, also in French. "Quite impossible." "Not a bit." said the manager.' and he went about it The divine Bern? hardt, being under contract to play a certain number of nights, was induced to consent. There was no "opera house" In Sullivan, but the Masonic hall was rented, and some of the scen? ery was crowded into it. The local job oflice got out a lot of handbills in a.hurry, and messengers were dispatch? ed to the adjoining towns to spread the glad news that Bernhardt, the di? vine Sarah, was to play in Sullivan that night and that admission would be 35 cents. "No usc trying to charge metropoli? tan prices here," said the manager to the treasurer, and that gentleman sigh? ed and said he supposed not. In the early evening there began to come into town long lines of green farmer wagons, each holding a family party. When the house was full, the great Bernhardt cautiously took a peep at It from behind the flimsy curtain. "Mon Dieu!" she cried, raising her jeweled hands, "Look at the Indians !" But she played Fedora for them, and she played until ll o'clock.-Philadel? phia Saturday Evening Post. HE USED THE SALT TEST. An Old Apache Chiefs Knowledge of the Human System. In the early days of Union Pacific railroading Victoria, Nana and Geron? imo, the three chiefs of the Arizona Apaches, with 100 of their best bucks, came through to Green River, Wy. They had heard of the "heap wagon and no boss" and had come to stop the train. They made a lasso of rawhide, and 50 men on each side held on to the rope as the freight came down the WTasatch divide. The engineer saw when several miles away what the In? dians were up to, so he whistled "off brakes" and, opening his throttle. let her loose. The cowcatcher struck the rope and hurled the Indians in all direc? tions, literally tearing them to pieces, headless, armless and legless. The three chiefs went south to their cactus plains very crestfallen. Before they selected these men the old Chief Victoria had them all eat-a piece of rock salt about as big as a pecan, run swiftly about 100 yards, sit down on a log or rock and cross their legs. Then he watched the vibration of the feet, which were crossed. The feet which vibrated the longest or had the longest strokes he declined to ac? cept for a severe.duty or a dangerous trip or for one that was at ali hazard? ous, but he accepted the feet which vi? brated short, distinct and regular strokes. Now, what did the old chief know about pulsation of the arterial system or of heart action and indeed about salt in the system? 1 have lived near to Indian reservations and have had occasion often to survey over their lands for railroads and other objects, and I have wondered where old Vic? toria got bis Idea. Is not the child of the sagebrush plains better posted than his paleface brother? -Chicago Inter Ocean, A LOTO Letter of Prince MsMarok. "On my window 6*11, among ail sorts of crocuses and hyacinths, stand two camellias which always inspire me with strange thoughts. One of them, slender and pretty, with Its ornamen? tal crown (top) and soft, pale-very pale-pink blossoms, but little foliage and only two buds, transports me to Reddetin, holds itself rather stiffly and lisps English, The other makes far less impression of beauty as you look at lt. and its stalk betrays In its gnarl? ed twisting lack of care in its pruning. From the midst of the foliage looks out a dead branch, but the crown is rich in leaves, and the foliage ls green? er than that of Its neighbor. It gives promise of abundant blossoming In its eight buds, and its color is deep dark red and white in irregular gay variega? tion. Do you take the comparison amiss? It is a lame comparison, more? over, for I do not love camellias, be? cause they are without odor, and you J love precisely on account of the fra? grance of the? flower of your spirit which is white, dark red and black."

Burns may be ordinary, but they lose none of their smart because of the ease with which they are acquired. Seme persons seem to have a perfect genius for getting burned. If they strike a match, it breaks and scorches them, while a visit to the kitchen ends la a burn from the oven or a scald from hot water or steam. Of course the right thing to do with a burn is to get it away from all contact with the air and to do this with all possible haste. The necessary articles for the tr sat? inent should be on hand, and they are baking soda-not washing soda, notice -fresh fat of some sort and several thicknesses of cotton cloth. It is an excellent plan to have a bottle of car? ron oil ready for such emergencies. Carron oil is made by shaking together equal parts of linseed oil and limewa ter. If the skin is broken over the burn, use the oil without the soda. Otherwise moisten the soda with olive oil or sweet oil or even lard or cold cream and apply it. Over this wrap the cloth. Cotton batting is often used for covering tke burn and keeping out the air, but it is not to be recommend? ed. It Is not a good plan to use flour, dusting it over a burn, for it frequently hardens and is of little comfort. One of the simplest measures for a superficial burn is to apply the white of an egg with a soft piece of old mtwlin, adding more as lt dries. AB Anecdote of Ter?!. The first production of Verdi's op? era "Othello" took place at Milan, and all the prominent musical critics of Eu? rope foregathered in the Cathedral City in honor of the occasion. Among them was a Parisian journalist of wide reputation and admitted authority in the musical world. His first care on his arrival in Milan was to seek out Verdi and ask to be allowed to be pres? ent at one of the final rehearsals. The composer received him with ex? treme politeness, but replied thal: he could not possibly grant his request as he had decided that the rehearsals were to be absolutely private, and he could not make an exception in the fa? vor of any one journalist, however dis? tinguished. The Paris critic, far from pleased at this answer, protested that in these circumstances his account of the opera might not be all he should like lt to be. "You see," he explained to the composer, who affected not quite to understand, "I shall have to telegraph my article the same evening. It will necessarily be hastily written, and the impression in Paris the next day may suffer in consequence." But Verdi was more than equ;tl to the occasion. "My dear sir." he made answer, "I do not write for 'the next day.' " The critic bowed himself cut. Utilising- IB Ancestor. A self made man with a taste for art, thinking he would like to have about his house some marble present? ments of his ancestors, ordered of a fifth rate sculptor a bust of his g;rand father. In due time it was sent home, and after a few days, his admiration being exhausted, the wealthy man sent for his plumber. "I don't mind confessing to you." said the former, "that I don't appreci? ate the fine ans unless they are turned to some useful purpose. Now, 1 have something to suggest to you." And he proceeded to give some in? structions to the tradesman. A week later, on the anniversary of his birthday, the millionaire pointed out with pride to his guests in the mid? dle of his conservatory the bust of his grandfather, from the top of whose head rose gracefully a jet of limpid water, falling into a marble basin in which some fine gold and silver fish disported themselves.-Christian En? deavor World. Reaching aa Understanding;. The young man was visibly annoyed at the questions which the heiress' fa? ther insisted on putting. At la.st he could endure it no longer. His ances? tral pride flamed up Into his c.aeeks* and he exclaimed: "I would have you understand that I am no ordinary fortune bunter." "That's all right." was the stern re? joinder. "I am just as particular as i you are. I'd have you understand that i I am no plain, everyday duke chaser either."-Washington Star. A Remarkable Liniment. The humorist of the Cynthiana (Ky.? j Democrat remarks: "One of the sur? geons of Cynthiana has discovered a valuable liniment. The other day he used it on the leg of a politician who had scarcely been able to walk for sev? eral years. Now the politician ia run? ning for office. Another trial was on a friend's arm. The friend immediately struck him for ten." Insects as Rnmaa Food. Professor Riley showed that our prai? rie locust made a delicious dish when fried, and he always contended thar there were numerous insects that were just RS wholesome as oysters.

How Blaine Remembered Henderson. It was before General Henderson had been elected to congress, and Blaine was speaker of the house. Henderson was in Washington, and naturally Blaine was one of the statesmen that he much desired to meet, and the op? portunity came of a morning just as the speaker was passing through the lobby on his way to the marble ros? trum. The formal greetings were ex? changed in a brief moment, and Gener? al Henderson was left to see the swing? ing doors close on the form of the Re? publican leader. Six years later General Henderson again came to Washington, this time to get Iowa divided into two judicial dis? tricts. He put up at Wormley's, where Blaine also lived, it being in those days a fashionable and flourishing hostelry. A week or so after his arrival from Iowa, as General Henderson was en? tering the dining room, he met Blaine after having passed and repassed him many times. The Maine man grasped him cordially by the hand, called him by name and inquired about Iowa "I had heard of Senator Blaine's wonderful faculty for remembering names." says General Henderson. "When I had seated myself at the table. I beckoned to the bead walter. " 'Hasn't Mr. Blaine asked you my name?' I said to him. 'Now think hard and be sure of your answer.' " 'Yes. sah,' replied the waiter. 'He done called me ovah las' night an asked yo* name an all about yo*. I told him yo' was Mistan Henderson.'" Washington Post. Orlprin of the Yosemite Valley. It is perfectly obvious to those famil? iar with glacial phenomena that Yo? semite is quite an ordinary and neces? sary product of glacial erosion under the conditions prevailing in that local? ity. The main glacier came down Te naya canyon, cut ting it io a steep but fairly uniform grade. Yosemite valley is but a continuation of that gorge. The end of the glacier at the time that lt was cutting Yosemite extended not far beyond Port Monroe. It remained there for a long time and therefore plowed out the bottom of the valley to a considerable depth. Branch glaciers joined the Tenaya glacier when it filled Yosemite, coming down the valleys of Yosemite. Linie Yosemite, Illilouette and Bridal Veil and other creeks and forming hanging valleys at the junc? tion points. The formation of the ver? tical cliffs of the valley may have been due to undermining and may have been aided by the cleavage of the rocka On the recession of the glacier doubtless the bottom of the valley was occupied by a lake which has since been partial? ly filled by detritus and drained by the erosion of Merced river cutting through the rock wall at the foot of the valley. -National Geographic Magazine. Where Girls Most Marry. In Russia if a girl desires to study at either of the universities etiquette requires that she should be married. Accordingly she goes through the civil form of marriage with one of the men students, whom she may never have seen before and perhaps may never speak to again. These marriages are perfectly legal, and if the contracting parties like each other they are united for life, but other? wise the marriage is dissolve-1 when their university course is finished and both are free to marry again. Sonya Kovalevski. the celebrated mathema? tician, went through the civil marriage ceremony with a student whom she then saw for the first time, but who eventually became her husband. Home Notes..
