A TOUCHING TALE OF A BURIAL IN
THE WILDERNESS.
The Lonely Grave of Little Ruth, Which
Was Cared For by Some Kindly Hand
For Thirty-five Years-A Mother's Awful
Otief Almost Alone In the Forest.
In the year 1829 a steady stream of
immigration was flowing into the terri
tory of Michigan. The over restless peo
ple of the east had heard wonderful sto.
ries of the abundance of gamo and great
P rtility of soil to be found in the now
orritory, and the sturdy, adventure
some farmers of rocky Now England
were pushing their way westward, with
the hope of finding the El Dorado of
their dreams.
Detroit, at this time, was a sight to
behold. Its streets were thronged with
the covered wagons of the imnigrants.
Hunters and indians, half breeds and
soldiers were mingled in a chaotic mass.
Among the great throng of homo seek
ers that left Detroit on the 2d day of
May, 1829, were James Harris, his wife
and year old baby. Young Harris had
put all of his earthly possessions into a
covered wagon, and bidding goodby to
friends and relatives had joined that
endless stream of home seekers that were
pushing their way into the wilderness
of Michigan, hoping by their energy
and perseverance to build up a lioie for
thomsolves and an inheritance for their
children.
The road westward from Detroit fol
lowed an old Indian trail, and by con
stant travel the mud ha.! becoio so
deep that it was almost imiopassable.
Many of the pioneers left the old road
and struck off into the wilderness, mak
ing roads for themselves.
Among this number was James lar
ris, and all went wcll for a few days.
After camping one night the wind sud
denly shifted to the northwest, and a cold
rain set in. This was the eighth day
after leaving Detroit. The company that
they had begun their journey with had
gradually dropped off, and for two day i
they had traveled alone, alone in the
r eat wilderness, unprotected save what
rotection the canvas covered wagons
gave theni. Was it any wonder that as
they listened to the howl of the wolf
and the hoot of the owl they became a
little homesick? Harris had imado a
great firo of dry brush, and while it. was
burning brightly the family had gono
to sleep. From this sleep the young
mother was aroused by a sharp, hoarso
cough from her baby. She innediately
awoke her husband, fresh fuel was
thrown on the fire, and as it blazed up
the young mother peered anxiously into
the face of baby Ruth. Ono glance at
the little drawn face resting on her arm,
and the mother knew that the baby had
that dread disease, the croup. Every
thing was done for the little sufferer
that the distracted parents could do.
They were young and inexperienced,
and all night long tl)ey fought for the
life of their little one, but all in vain.
Just as the first glimmer of light ap
peared in the east the spirit of haby
Ruth took its flight. The young mother,
wild with grief, pressed the form of her
dArling to her breast, moaning and say
ing over an4 nvor again, "Baby is
dead1" She refused to let her husband
take the little one from her. She would
never give it up; no, never I All that day
they romained in camp. Toward evening
the wife became calmer, and standing
near the wagon with the babe in her
arms she saw her husband dig the little
grave, anld when it was finishled a rudlo
box was mnade, and she tenderly laid her
baby to rest, wvith her own hands plae
ing it In the grave, and as' the dirt r'at
tied down on the lid she0 fell senseless
Into her husband's arms.
After filling the grave the young fa
ther took two little sprouts of Lombardy
poplar that he4 had in tho wagon, set
tIng one at each end of the grave, and(
cuttinlg the words "'Baby Ruth'' on a
pico of board he placed it at tile head
of the little moWmd, and then they re
sumedl their journey. Years passed, andmc
a road wvas laid necar the spot. The pop
lars grew and became a living monu
mont. The pice of board that had told
the little one's name wvas annually re
placed by some kind hand.
TimIo passed quickly, and May 10
had comeI and gone '35 times since baby
Ruth was laid to rest in the wilder
ness; the poplars liad grown to be
trees and stood in a cleared field near
the roadsidq; the sur-rouniding forest had
long Since disappeared. A board was
nailed to the trees with the words 'Ba
by Ruth'' painted onl it. A carriage was
passing by when the driver, an elderly
manm, glanced toward the trees and saw
the inscription. Ho looked at. the trees
and at tile sign, hitched his horse, made
inquir~y of a farmer near by as to the
melanling of the sign aind w~as told that
wh~on 1h0 came to tihe countr i-h11 found
the little grave mar-ked withl a ruo
board, and that lhe had spared the triees
and nailed up a new board. His1 inform
ant wondered at the emotion of the
stranger, who staid with himl overniighit,
but his wvondelr ceased whenOl ho was told
the story of baby Ruth as I have written
it. The wife and mother had1( died sonme
twvo years before. Other chiildironi had1
Colme to bless 1101, but she nlever for-got
her firstborn and the little grave in tho
wvilderniess. A beauti ful mionlumient now
marks the spot whiereo sleeps baby Ruth.

MENTAL IMAGES.
ifaterial IVictures Conteniioraneous WitA
Thiought Impressed Uion the Bralu.
"A man conversing in earnest, " says
Emerson in his essay on "Naturo, " '"if
h watch his intellectual processes, will
find that a material image, moro or less
luminous, arises in his mund contempo
raneous with every thought, which fur
nishes the vestment of the thought. "
This power of forming mental images
appears to vary in strength among indi
viduals to a considerable degree. Natu
rally wo should expeot to find it power
ful in poets and artists. Charles Dick
ons has himself told us that ho actually
"saw" his creations as he wrote, and M.
Taine mentions a palliiter who only look
ed at an object while ho sketched its
outline and was able to fill in the colors
from the image of it in his mind. On
the other hand, there aro people of equal
intelligenco who, being unable to sco
such mental images thomselves, have
doubted their existence, and Mr. Fran
cis Galton has shown that habits of ab
stract thought., such as mion of scienceo
and philosophers indulgo inl, arte apt to
weaken the -capacity of forming mental
pictures.
Mr. Kirkpatrick of Winona, Min.,
an experimental psychologist, ias mado
a series of observations on this phenom
enon with the help of his classes. The
scholars were asked to wvrite dowi just
what came into their minds whena eeir
tain familiar words, such as "hook, "
"tree, " "church, " were called out, and
the answers were carefully invest igaht d.
He found that the majority of the stu
dents formed distinct images of the ob
jects corresponding to the words, and
the rest formed indistinct images, with
a few exceptions, who seeiu to have inl
dulged in philosophical abstract ions.
The word "book," for example, (alled
lp visions of a Bible, a dictionary, a
no\'-el, in all but a few schlais, who
thought of "food for tho mind" or "the
thoughts of some person. " Tli word

In Persia there is a kind of snake
wvhich is kiown Io the natives as the
clock winding snake. It derives its
name from a peculiar buzzing noiso
which it makes that resembles the wind
