V. V ' I it 1h character In tic of the record* of the early ago ou tho river that thay al* most a* a whole make home icuimico to a character known us Mike Iftok. Mlko wus not au outlaw, says the Louisville Courier-Journal, l*ui !?.? bor dered rather closely to tliut1 state o f being; he waa considered more I u tiie light of a rowdy. Mike secured hit* education In tho hard and dangerous life In the country arouud Allegheny county, I'ennsylvaula, where he wax engaged aa one of the leaders lu red akin warfare. He waa. It la said, the ; enry of comrades for his bushwhack ing and ranger qualities. It was also during his young days that Mike learned to use the rifle with unerring skill and was accredited with being the surest shot |n tho Ohio valley. It has been said that so sure of shot was he that ho was frequently offered a large share of the prizes to bo won nt shooting matches If he would stay out. There 'was no successful competition ngulnst him. In the Ohio valley Mike was known as thj? "Snapping Turtle," and on the Mississippi as "The Sung." He wan easily king of the vulley. There Is routed of Fink t?n Incident which serves to detract frotyi the good qualities which ho IS supposed to have had. Known as n tender-hearted man normally, it. Is strtihgo that such a man would at times give way to the darkest and most wicked passions. At one time Mikb made an attempt to bum his wife alive; or. If that was not his netual ob ject, he played u good and realistic part. It'so happened that Mike and ills wife were of a party on n nupibcr of barges floating down the Ohio river. By what follows It is assumed that Mrs. Fink, who went by the name of I'eg, was Im bued with the Instincts, of a woman of her sort. When the barges landed against the shore for the night Mike Immediately got his rifle and ordered his wife to follow hlin up the bank of tho river to a point where he piled u heap of brush wood. Mlko ordered the woman, who readily saw that Mike was In no good mood, to crawl Into the brushwood. The good woman objected, but Mike threatened to shoot her and In the end she oboyed. Mike covei*ad her com pletely over with the brjwhWood.x He then dellbfrntrly set firo to the pltar and In a moment the whole thing was blazing. Throush fear of Mike's rifle the wife stood the heat of the flames as long as she could, then she kicked the brushwood from her and ran for the river, her clothing already In flames. Mike then Informed his bet ter half that her punishment was the result of her "winking at thera felloes on the other boot." Such were the men who made his tory through the vulley of tho OMo In those days when Toulsvllle stood on the edge of a donso wilderness, and when the town could bare had but a small population. While these men were not as Important to tho building of the great empire of the west as men like Tloone. Kenton, Clark and others, they were nevertheless neces sary evils and did their part In thrust ing the Indians hack that the land ! might be broken. At any rate they are recorded In the .historical annals of the ! state. It Didn't Fit. Tommy Gray. Broadway humorist, who wont to France recently to help entertain the soldiers, writes from Paris to tell a little story a ho tit Lois Meredith, dramatic actress and movie star, who wont over on a Ilk? mission. "The second day out, coming over," writes Gray, "a notice was posted on the bingo dock Instructing the passen gers to report with their life preserv ers on for life bout drill. The little I*ittsburgh girl appeared at her host* but she had left her life preserver be hind. 'Madam,' said the officer In charge, 'why didn't you put on your llfb belt?' 4I tried It on,' replied Mls? Meredith, *bnl It was so loose and look ed so horrid I gave It to the stewardess so she might alter It to fit me.'" ? New Tork Tribune. "Rifle and Pick."
