Only a Squaw and Her Babe. The first faint trace of daylight is appearing as the tired troopers, divested of heavy coat, canteen and cnn, spurs and sling belt, creep upward through the snow and loose rocks to the place as signed each group along the edge of the bluff that affords shelter from the wintry blast to the little Cheyenne village nestling in the bend of the frozen creek below. Save the soft crunching of the snow beneath the pressure of hands and knees, perfect stillness prevails, and in a few moments more the village will be BO com pletely surrounded that escape will be impossible, and daylight will reveal the uselessness of resist ance. Then a quick return to the agency must be made, for the ther mometer registers twenty-seven be low, aud even the horses, left far down in the canon, will soon perish - for want of shelter. But the eighty-three miles ride in the stinging cold has benumbed tbe sense of touch, and a bit of glary ice brings a trooper and his oarbine rattling down among the loose rocks, while the shrill snap ping bark of the Indian dogs awakens the sleepy guard, and, following this alarm, out from the teepees rush the red-skins. Believing tha^capture can mean naught else than death, the Indians take deadly aim with their Win chesters, then swiftly retreat to the only point left open by the troops, who, seeing their comrades falling, wait not for the word of command, but send in a destructive fire just as the last of the band, a Cheyenne squaw with babe and child, join the retreat. A stray bullet shatters the mother's right arm and but for the maiden's quick movement, the babe would have fallen. Forging swiftly ahead, the child does not see the mother hurled unconscious : to the ground by a bullet that ; crashes thought her right thigh, , and she has almost reached the rocks when a leaden messenger of death touches her heart, and, re laxing all hold on the babe, the ( little maiden staggers and sinks : forward in a heap on the snow. Daylight comes quickly, and the stillness that follows this deadly outburst is pierced only by the pitiful cry of the babe stretched on the icy crust and helplessly! appealing for the shelter andi warmth of the mother's breast. And j then the form of that mother is, I1 seen to move forward, worming its J j way gradually from side, and n slowly but surely, inch . by inch, : lessening the distance between self] ? and babe. . V Fourteen minutes-an age- . have passed, and she has crawled < but half the distance, and now lies motionless, with her face toward the bluff. An inexpressible agony M . that finds vent only though her ' eyes is more than human sight can t stand, and dropping his field- ? glasses a sergenant leaps down- J ward to carry .the babe to her side, t and-is shot dead before a dozen ( ~ steps are taken. j The sun's rays bring no warmth 1 and the piteous cry is growing j fainter and fainter. But the h mother is again sinking her one] 1 hand through the crust of the | snow, and dragging her wounded form forward ; and reaching the babe with an almost superhuman ? .effort she rolls over on her back, 1 I i m the movement divesting herself \ of the blanket that forms her only ] outer garment,? and, drawing the 1 wee tot to her breast, tucks the j blanket lovingly around the little ] body, and folding it in her arm, 1 stills its murmur with a mother's ' touch. Then she places the fingers of her broken, dangling arm caressingly on the cold cheek I of the little maiden. ? When the Indians, chilled and j heartbroken, raise a flag of trance, t solders hurry to the mother's j side. But the baby's lips, are tightly frozen to the icy breast, and mother and babe and little sister have crossed the Last y Bange.-N. Y. Evening Post. ?

Section 1 of an act of the Legisla- j tore, approved Dec. 22, 1891, reads as | j follows : Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the State of South Carolina, now met and .sitting in General Assembly, and by the au thority of the same, That the trustees of the several school districts in the | i county shall report to the County Au ditor the names of all taxable polls in ? their respective districts, and said Au-1 * ditor shall enter the same upon the tax duplicate to be furnished the County Treasurer. That said names so fur- 1 nished shall be published .annuallyjin 1 s newspaper published at the county i seat once a week for three consecutive f weeks, and where there is no paper published at the county seat, then in some other paper having general cir culation in the county. *| c Under and-by virtue of the authority conferred by said section I call upon School Trustees of all the \ school districts in Edgefleld county to \ make to me at once a full and complete a list of persons in their respective dis- a tricts who are liable to poll tax. fi J. B. DAVIS, J Co. Auditor. Compulsory Insurance in Germany. La Germany the law of compulsory insurance against old age and infirmity, passed in June, 1889, completes the pro gramme of legislation for improving the condition of the working classes which was set forth in the imperial rescript of 1881. It affects more than 13,000,000 people, giving them an inalienable legal claim to support in cases of infirmity and in old age. The insurance is compulsory in all in dustrial occupations upon persons over sixteen years of age of both sexes. Clerks and tradesmen's apprentices who do not earn more than $500 a year also participate, but assistants and appren tices in druggists' shops are excluded. Exemption from compulsory insurance is granted to persons who work for food, clothes and lodging only, and who receive no pay, or who are only in tem porary employment. The pension for old age varies from about twenty-five dollars to fifty dollars a year, and is granted to every insnred person who has completed bis seventieth year, irrespective of his ability to earn a livelihood, provided he does not already draw a pension for infirmity. The in firmity pension varies frcm about twen ty-seven dollars to over a hundred dol lars, and is given, irrespective of age, to persons who are permanently incapaci tated from earning a living. In order to establish a claim to a pen sion under the German law, contribu tions, regulated by the amount of earn ings, must be paid for a prescribed period. The means of paying pensions are obtained by fixed contributions from the imperial treasury, added to regular payments on the part of the employers and employed.-Youth's Companion. The Blood Circulate? Rapidly. Medical workers have made many cu rious experiments, but none more won derful than that by which they ascer tained the exact time required for the blood to make one entire trip through the system, which all students of physi ology know means a complete circula tion through the lungs, veins, arteries and general capillary arrangements. Professors Dalton, Hering, Poisseuille, Matteucci and Blake have been the chief investigators in this line, the first named having become more eminent in this particular branch of research from having the experience of the others to fortify himself with. All the old school anatomists believed that a considerable time elapsed, say from three to niue minutes, from the time when the blood left the right side of the heart, traversed the whole system and then again re turned to the starting point; Dalton has shown that the time is much shorter than was formerly generally supposed. He says: "Dozens of carefully tabu lated tests of this somewhat extraordi nary subject shows that the blood of man makes a complete circulation once every fifteen to twenty-five seconds, ac cording to the physical conditions of the subject experimented upon."-St. Louis Republic,_ Two Epitaphs. Remarkable are two epitaphs, the first of which is said to be upon a tombstone in the city of Sacramento: "Here is laid Daniel Borrow, who was born in Sorrow, and Borrowed little from Nature except bis name and his love to mankind and hatred to redskins; who was neverthe less a gentleman and a dead shot; who, through a long life, never killed his man except in self defense or by acci dent, and who, when he at last went under, beneath the bullets of his cow ardly enemies in the saloon of Jeff Mor ris, did so in the sure and certain hope ol a glorious and everlasting Morrow." The other, which belongs to a Nevada burying place, is a noteworthy achieve ment in thia line. "Sacred to the Memory of Hank Monk-the Whitest; Biggest-hearted, and Best-known Stage iriver of the West; who was kind to All ind Thought HI of None. He Lived in i Strange Era, and was % Hero, and the Wheels of Ms Coach are now Ringing on Glolden Streets."-Chambers' Journal. . Philadelphia Pretzels. Philadelphia pretzels are a thing by ' memselves;.that is, the genuine Phila lelphia pretzel is, but unscrupulous : nanufacturers have been making imi- ? ?ations with machinery which have . served to lessen the high standard raised , yj the reputation of the homemade , pretzel. The pretzel came over with ;he Dutch, and it is still found in its >riginal purity in Lancaster and Berks ? counties, the inhabitants of which have ' been so many generations in this conn-. 1 try that they are unable to speak their* ; mother tongue. They have not been lere long enough to learn English, so ] ?hey make their pretzels as they were , aught, and talk the language which bey have manufactured.-New York Jun. . Soapsuds Are Valuable. Few persons know how very useful soapsuds prove when employed as ma mre. Applied to the roots of vines, ?ruit trees, roses, etc., they impart a ' rigor and rapidity of growth which is , jerfectly surprising. No one who is so * ucky as to have a garden should waste } ;his valuable form of manure. It is an ? ?xcellent plan to have a large tub, and ] rat the soapsuds and dirty water into it ' ;ill required upon the garden.-Phila lelphia Ledger. Medicine Lake. Medicine lake is a wonder that draws many visitors annually-a body of water ihat does not contain a living thing, and it certain hours of the day is full of a gelatinous, spongelike substance that rinks and leaves the water clear.

J. B. DAVIS, Auditor. The First Fattie Hair. In very early days, as now, the hair was sometimes thin and it had tobe eked out in various ways to make be lieve that nature had been spendthrift to all alike. About the first description extant of woman's hair speaks of "plaited locks," known as "Gretchen braids" to us. To make these braids seem longer, silk the color of the hair wus braided in. Then they they took to putting, the braids in cases of silk, elongating them with all sorts of stuff till they looked like umbrellas in covers. The Chinese pigtail is a modification of this style. Washington Star. Punished by the Ciar. The czar of Russia knows how to brace up his military officers to their duty. A merchant of CharkoffJSwas murdered by soldiers, and it waa shown that had the officers of the regiment stationed in the town maintained proper discipline the murder might have been prevented. As a punishment for this they have been ordered to pay a yearly pen sion of 5,000 rubles to the widow of the murdered man.-Toledo Blade. Not Surprised.
