The making of silhoueties can hardly be clashed among the lost arts, since there is so Uttla art aborpt them. The best of them represent the human profile la a crude way, and they were regarded as rather a cheap kind of pic tures evea In the days when they were moat popular. Ind-svd, the very rword silhouette means flometLIng poor an'! cheap, and It had its cris'.n in aspirit f ridicule. It is trken from EfJenne de Silhouette, who was a French cabinet minister In tho year 17." 9. win the treasury of France was wry Jow because of costly wars with Britain and Prussia an.l by the exYrrrvnganrt of the government. When Etfcnue ds Si'houotta became minister of finnnci Le set about making great rvfonort ia the public expenditure. lie yvtm bgr nature a very "close" man, and hv went to such extreme in keeper-r down the public expenses that l bronght grcrit ridicule upon hlmse'f. ; and finally anything tint was ehenpl and poor was referred to as a l:i Sil houette. A vry crude picture wai popular at that time. It was made by tracing the shadow or profile of a face projected br the Mfht of a candle on a sheet of white paprr and the outline defined with a pencil. This was such a very poor and cneop srt of picture that It was at one catted a silhouette in further dri.Iou of the very savins French minister, and the name has "stuck." It Is an Instance of the curi ous derivation of some words in com mon use. and th!a unkind slur on a man who was really trying to Introduce needei referns in the spending of the public meney has long been ac cepted as a good nnd proper word. In deed,. thre is no oth?r wprd used for pictures of this Wild, although there were sack'-pictures ltrig before M. Etlentxe de Silhouette baa nis name- at tached to them In so embarrassing a way. MorrH Wad In Century. AN EARLY CALL. Mark Twain's Story About His Absontminded Brctlier. 5ne bitter December night Orion (Mark Twain's brother) ft : p reading until 3 o'clock in the moiTiii.u: and then, without looking at a clock, sallied forth to call on a young lady. lie hammered and hammered at the door; couldn't get any response: didn't understand it. Anybody ele would have regarded that as an indication of some kind or other and would have drawn inferences and gone tibiae, but Orion didn't draw inferences. lie merely hammered and hammered, and finally the father of the girl appeared at the door in a dressing gown. lie had a candle in his hand, and the dressing gown was all the. clothing be had on. except on expression of welcome, which was so thick and so large that it extended all down his front to his Instep and nearly obliterated tho dressing frown. But Orion dkln't notice that this was ar unpleasant expression. He mere walked In. The old gentleman tor-' him into the parlor, set the candle ot a table and stood. Orion made th usnal remarks about the weather an1 sat down sat down and talked am" talked and went on talking, that ol man looking at him vindictively am waiting for his chance, waiting treacherously and malignantly for his rbnnce Orion had not asked for the youna. lady. It was not customary. It vrns understood that a young fellow came to see the girl of the house, not ti e founder ef It. At last Orion got up and made some remark, to the effect that probably tho young lady was busy and he would go now and call again. That was the old man's chance, and he aald with fervency.

"Wabash,. Ind., July 25. Wabash business mem assumed a huge task when they undiertook to raise a fund of $S0.0W to get factories for the city, but they have not faltered in their efforts. Never before has the city made such an effort to land large manufacturing Industries. Recently, when the American Seating company, which manufactures school furniture, closed its plant here, citizens bought another plant to move into the place made vacant by the school manufacturing plant. This plant is now being held as a bonus for the SUMMER SCHOOL WORK WILL CLOSE ON FRIDAY A Very Successful Term at Earlham College. SIX WEEKS OF VACATION. Summer school at Earlham college will come to a close Friday after one of the most successful sessions in the history of the school. Not only has the school been more largely attended but the character of the work has been above the ordinary standard. The teachers' course was very popular. Following a six weeks interim, during which time there will be no school of any character, the fall term will open and it is expected an unusually large number of new students will enroll then.

It 'was he who headed the movement that landed the United Box Board and Pa per company and the Pioneer Hat fac tory for Wabash. Among those who are foremost in the factory movement are W. B.

According to reports which are being received at the Gaar-Scott plant in this city, the wheat crop In the northwest is about three weeks later than usual this 3-ear and the farmers in that section are eagerly awaiting developments. It is assured, however that the crop In the northwest this year will not by any means be as large as it has in the past. An excep tionally large number of Richmondmade threshing machines have been shipped to the northwest for use in that section of the country. In some sections they are considered supreme.

the steel ties cannot stand up under heavy travel and are too rigid at curves. Pittsburg mills making steel have been notified that the Pennsylvania railroad will not make any more experiments with steel ties, as none yet invented has made the proper showing. A large order has been placed by the Pennsylvania company for Georgia pine ties. EXAMINATION OVER.

It Is understood that all the trainmen's examinations which have been conducted by local Pennsylvania officials for some time past are now completed and the trainmen can journey on their way without fear of confronting an examination on the train rules. All local trainmen passed the examinations with highly creditable grades. HAS BEEN ABANDONED. The retrenchment policy of the Pennsylvania In Richmond, seems to have been abandoned as not for several weeks have men been laid off in any number. Linemen over the Richmond division suffered most by the retrenchment policy. A JAMESTOWN LULL. "TVanted, people to buy Jamestown Exposition tickets.

An official of the Pennsylvania line states that the freight tonnage of the Indianapolis division had doubled in the last ten years and much of this increase has been made in the last two years. The company Is putting new and larger cars into service on the Indianapolis division and has under consideration the building of an other freight depot at Indianapolis to accommodate their increasing business.

NINETEEN CARS HAD A PERFECT SCORE

Glidden Tour Came to an End on Wednesday. ONE WOMAN FINISHED New York, July 25. The fourth annual Glidden Cup tour of the American Automobile association, aggregating 1,600 miles, from Cleveland, Ohio, to the Atlantic coast by way of Chicago, and covered in twelve days, was completed Wednesday. vThe members lined up on Twenty-third street until all were over and then started to Broadway and Fifty-ninth street, where in Columbus Circle the tour was officially declared ended. Although several women started bravely from Cleveland, the only one to finish is Mrs. Andrew Cuneo. She endured the hardships of mountain travel and never flinched when confronted with the difficulties of the road, which drove other women to give up the trip. Glidden trophy touring cars with perfect scores were: R D. Garden, Pierce-Arrow; G. S. Salzman, Thorn as Flyer; Mont Hallowell, Thomas Flyer; P. S. Flynn, Pierce Arrow; F, S. Deyd, Pierce Arrow; H.

During the days of the "white terror there was an old woman called La Mere Marianne, whose duty It was to mop up tae pavement after an execution. In this capacity she attended the decapitation of Louis XVI. and Marie Antoinette, as well as other distinguished victims. The gay hearted royalists Jeered at her under her familiar name, which came to be applied to the revoJotlonary party. Later the secret societies adopted It as a watchword, and "Marianne came to be used as a revolutionary symbol.

Captain McCabe Knew the Sioux Bt er Than They Knew Themselves, and the Indians Knew the Captain's Men Were Dead Shots and Scalp Takers. In the pioneer days to reach Montana from Cheyer.ne. in Wyoming, required a roundabout Journey that In. volved a double croeslng of the Rocky mountains, with a change of base at Salt Lake City. Tho United States government brought about a better condition of travel by constructing a trail through the Gallatin valley along the course of the Gunpowder river, reaching around the base of the mountains In a curvilinear form, which avoidvl the heights of the Rockies. To protect this route from marauding Indians three forts were built Reno, Phil Kearny and C. F. Smith. In 1SCG the murderous Sioux from the Yellowstone valley pursued a sanguinary course up through the Gallatin valley and into Montana. It was marked by rapine and plunder. They lesleged Fort Reno and killed many of its garris.cn. They environed Fort Phil Kearny and wiped from the face of the earth every human b-lng whoe walls It failed to protect. Then they surrounded Fort C. F. Smith, where 200 soldiers found themselves surrounded by more than a thousand death seeking Indians. Escape seemed Impossible. A courier got word of this condition of affairs to General Hancock, who was then stationed at St. Paul, and he sent a messenger to the governor of Montana at Bozeman. The chief executive of the territory of Montana at that time was Green Clay Smith. He had been a member of congress from Kentucky, but President Lincoln mado him territorial governor of Montana. He was seated on the porch of his residence In Bozemsn when Hancock's message was handed to him. To a visitor he said: "What in the name of heaven can I do? Fort C. F. Smith is 250 miles away. The country letween here and there is filled with Sioux Indiaus. Our militia force consists of exactly 427 men. Not a man of them could reach Fort C. F. Smith alive. I am absolutely powerless, nowever, I will send for Colonel Howie. At that time Colftnel Nell Howie was United States marshal for the territory of Montana. It was to this man that Governor Smith addressed himself, handing him General Haucock's dispatch and saving: "Colonel, we can't do anything for those poor devils In Fort C. F. Smith Am I not rlgbtr "No," said Colonel nowle quietly, and with the gentle vole of a woman. "There Is no trouble about that, governor. We can arrange that matter and still leave the Montana frontier protected. I will need some picked men and a good leader for them. I think Captain MeCabe Is best fitted for this undertaking. I will find him." 'McCabe was another gentle voiced man, with blue eyes. He didn't make much noise. He acted. He said to the governor: "Oh, yes; it is easy enough. But I'll need forty of the best men I can select. You can keep the j rest of your volunteer force here." Governor Smith looked at him In amazement So did the visitor from the fort. They both thought he was either Insane or a braggart. Governor Smith said to him, "How in the name Of heaven do yon expect to raise tho lege of Fort O. F. Smith with forty men when you know that it is surrounded by more than 1.000 bloodthirsty Indians and that the country between here and there Is covered with thousands more of murderous Sioux?" Said McCabe quiet Jy: "Why, governor, it is easy enough. The Indiana know us and know that we know, them better than they know themselves. You folks from the east have an Idea that what you call Indian atrocities are simply unmeaning exhlbltiona of brutality; that scalping, for ;

Instanoe, la almpjy a form of torture. In that you are mistaken. The Indian believes that no man can go to the happy hunting ground heaven we eall it who baa been deprived of bis hair. Then- motive In scalping a victim Is to carry out fiendish hatred to its utmost by preventing him from having a happy hereafter. Therefore to deprive an Indian of his scalp is to rob him of hla hope of n happy hereafter. My mert never kill an Indian without scalping: him, and the Indians know that Th.j forty men I will select fOr this expedition are unerring In their aim with the rlfie. They can shoot sixteen shots, in sixteen seconds, and every ball means a dead Indian, and every dead Indian means a scalp,' and every scalp means a warrior deprived eternally of a chance of ever reaching the happy hunting ground. My forty men will walk from here to Fort C. F. Smltwithout firing a shot." "Incredible," said Governor Smith, "True," said Captain McCabe. What was the result? Forty men walked the 230 miles from Bozemaa to Fort C F. Smith. Indians watched them on every aide. By days their progress was signaled by circling columns of smoke 'and by night by fire from mooataln tops. Bnt not a abot was fired. When they got within sight of Fort C. F. Smith the thousand . whooping Sioux who held the garrison In siege fled, and the forty frontiersmen from Bozeman marched In and escorted the 200 soldiers back to the territorial capital without the loss of a life. Not a shot had been fired. Not a tr hd tAn lifted. SUMMER RESORTS. PETOSKEY THE BEAUTIFUL Unequaled climate; balmy breezes; HAY FEVER UNKNOWN. Unexcelled steamboat and railway facilities.
