After leaving the latter point I shall
sever my connection with the civilized
world and proceed north over the sea

“I shall establish myself upon the
ice, with headquarters off from the
mouth of the river Lena, in‘ latitude
between 78 and 79 degrees north, with
provisions sufficient for two years and
a half. and shall then send the ves-
sel back with news of my progress.
“The route which we shall have to
follow" will then be the frozen surface

rience that the sea of ice may be trav

STRANGE ADVENTURE OF A HEARSE.
A Day of Glory for-Indian Warriors in
Early Times at Cheyenne.
When Cheyenne was a much smaller
place than it is now, when, in fact,'it
was so small that one had always to
speak of the place as CheyenneCity
or stand the chance of shooting, city
life was characterized by a’ familiarity
With the Indian which the town would
now blush to own. Much. of the time
the warriors of the Cheyenne tribe
were street loafers who had to be
pushed out of the way if any one was
in a hurry. But there were times
when the Cheyenne warrior drew his
allowance of cash from the Great
White Father and then he was an ob-
ject of consideration until he had
spent it. There was a society in Phil-
adelphia which looked out for the
Washington end of the transaction on
the score of philanthropy and Indian
rights and made sure that the Indian
got the cash. The citizens of Chey-
enneand every other town which had
an Indian agent loked after the other
end of the transaction and saw that
the Indian restored the Government
funds to speedy circulation by spend
ing quickly, if not well.
On one such pay day there was a
particularly large sum coming to each
Indian. - Possibly some of his very
shadowy rights to something which
he did not use and never could use had
been purchased by the, Government
At any rate there was a distribution
which turned each warrior loose upon
the business community of Cheyenne
City with something in the neighbor
In the early stages of a plains com.
munity there are not many specimens
of the pleasure rig. The rolling stock
Is for the most part composed of quar-
termasters’ wagons and the almost
equally cumbrous ambulances used by
the officers at the post. But it is never
long before a commendable spirit oi
enterprise introduces a hearse. At the
time of the great payment to the
Chevennes the new hearse was the
only ornamental wheeled conveyance
in Cheyenne City. This hearse caught
under his blanket than he had eve1
had before. From catching his eye it
was no long step to exciting his desires
to own that vehicle and to celebrate
in style. That’s Indian nature, at
least the kind of Indian that people
know on the plains. It took very near-
ly all the money he had, but he bought
the hearse and a tea-m of six mules
complete. There wouldn’t have been
anv surplus for the Indian but for a
misca-lculation on the-part of the un-
dertaker in setting his price. He made
allowances for the Indian’s spending
money a little more freely than was
actually the case. owever‘, the sur-
plus was not lost to the general cir-
culation of the currency. The warrior
and his squaw got .on the box seat
of the vehicle and drove off in stvle.
As- ot-her Indians of standing in the
tribe were encountered, the hearse
was stopped and they were invited tc
get aboard. “’ben they had filled
everv available inch on the roof of
the conveyance other Indian passen—
gers were crowded into the box and
sat behind the glass panels looking
solemnly out upon the world. When
the hearse could not be made to hold
another Indian the outfit set off aha
gallop on a tour of the business
houses.
HANDY WITH THE GUN.
Twelve Year Old Mamie Kyland a Clever
“'ing Shot.
Mamie Esther Hyland is probably
the youngest wing shot in the wo'rld.
Despite the fact that she is only 12
years of age and has been Shooting
only two years, she has defeated men
rwith experience at the traps and has
never been beaten by any of her own
sex. Her father says that wing shoot-
in-g seems to be a natural gift to her.
He has been able to teach her many
trick shots, such as breaking swinging
glass balls and breaking them with
rifle or pistol, aided by the reflection
of a mirror. When the girl was 10
years old her father bought her a very
light double barreled shotgun, weigh-
ing five pounds. With" this she wduld
roam the woods near her home at
Tarrytown, New York, in quest of
some friends ‘ were shooting JclayiipigJ
eOns from a trap and the child asked
to be'allowed to try her little gun at
that sport. Much to her surprise‘she -
broke three out of five, and from that
time on her trap shooting started, and
Her father has kept her practicing con-
stantly. Many__times,since, she has
broken 25 straight, and in her first at-
tempt at live birds she killed _7 out, of
9. She is hardly strong enough yet to
use a gun of sufficient weight in which
she could use a killing charge for pig-
eons. The shotgun that she uses now
weighs but six pounds, and she has to
use a light‘load, otherwise the recoil
would he too great. The young miss
took part in the Westc-hwter County
handicap, at White Plains, and shot at
15 birds. She killed 13, three falling
trap to rifle shooting, as she mys the
contests are more exciting.

An amusing story is told of the late
Louis Pasteur, who so distinguished
himself by his discoveries in regard
to bacteria. While dining at his son-
in—law’s one evening, it was noticed
that he dipped his cherries in his glass
of water and then carefully wiped
them off before eating them. As this
caused some amusement, he held forth
at length of the dangers of the mi.

covered. Then he leaned back in his

wnéie Life is a‘ Joy.
The Osage Indians are probably the
wealthiest people per capiia on earth,
are aristocrats and scorn manual la-
bor, according to Agent Pollock’s an-
nual report to the Interior Depart-
ment. They own over 800 acres of
land for each man, woman and child,
each receiving an annuity of over $203
in cash. ~
As an illustration, if an Indian and
his wife have eight children, the an-
nual cash income of the family is
over $2,000. Rather leading this white
brother in this respect, he prefers the
conveniences, luxuries and dissipa-
tions of village life to agricultural avo-
cation. He loves to sing and dance
and rest, and he has plenty of money
to support his fajmily in idleness.—

Goodjor the Stomach.
Vinoi——Wine of Cod -Liver Oil, we have
found by experience to be actually beneficial
to the stomach. The chief objection to cod
liver oil was the fat and grease which would
disturb the disease-weakened stomach and
make what would otherwise have been a val~
uable remedy, impractical. Because Vinol
contains all the medicinal parts of cod live‘r
oil, and none of the fat: itself, its desirability
may well be understood.
Mr. W. L. Wood, a. prominent chemist of
Pawtucket, R. I., in talking of Vinol, says :—-
“Now you have discovered away to extract
the active curative principles from the liver of
the cod, and have found out how to leavé'
behind the useless and stomach-disturbing
grease, you have been able to give to sufferers
from wasting diseases a. most valuable medi-
cine. ,With Vinol people will no longer. sicken
and die from such diseases, because they are
now enabled to take enough of the medicinal
elements of cod liver oil to benefit themselves,
without deranging their digestive organs.”
We have seen, as many other chemists
have, this most desirable point in regard to
Vinol fully‘ illustrated in many instances.
Yours very truly, _
