How Jackson Farley Became a
Terror to Redskins.
THE STOKT OF A FAMOUS EAID.
Stock Stcnllnc Savage Dealt With
In Snmmnrj- Style Desperate Fight
In tlie Days of Bows and Arrow
Between Indians and White Men.
Eccentric Jackson- Farley, commonly
known as ''Uucle Jack," and noted
throughout-thc counties of northern Cali
fornia as an Indian fighter, government
scout and ranger, is still living on his
ranch in Mendocino county. Eight more
years will bring his age to the century
mark, says the San Francisco Examiner.
JACKSON PAULEY.
"Uncle Jack" settled among the lonely
mountain ranges of northern-Mendocino
county 50 years ago. His little cabin
was snug and comfortable, two or three
stately trees sheltering it from the blaz
ing noontide sun, and the magnificent
stretch of country that could be seen from
the door was a continual feast to the soli
tary man, who, for all his primitive ways
of living, was an ardent lover of nature's
beauties. Neither "wife nor child had
Jackson Farley, and yet he did not lack
companionship, for a large, faithful
mastiff shared his isolated home, and a
strong bond of affection united the two.
This quiet life was broken in upon aft
er a time by the unfriendly advances of
hostile Indians, whose lawless pillaging
was a menace to the life and property of
the few white settlers then in Mendocino
county. From 1S30 to 1S3S there were
no Indian agencies established, and the
advent c white settler into this section
was rcgaiiinl as a signal for the red
skins, whose lawless3uring had no limit
for barbarity. Reports of arson and cat
tle and horse stealing were almost daily
chronicled throughout the counties, if
Farley needed a stimulus to incite his
nvowed vengeance to action, he did not
have long to wait. .
One morning in the early fifties, after
breakfast, Farley remarked to the faith
ful dog, "If I hed my cap, we'd take a
walk." It was soon brought to him, for
the dog would stand on his hind legs and
pu'J the old cap off its wooden peg, carry
it to his master and then spring out of
doors, bark joyfully and scamper down
the grassy slope.
The object of Farley's walk this morn
ing was to note the condition of his cat
tle and horses, then supposed to be pas
turing along what is known as the "Out
let" range. After a diligent search until
noon without finding a trace or 2o head
of horses and 100 head of cattie Farley
concluded that as there were no fences
his stock had stampeded and' he had bet
ter return for his pet saddle iiorse, which
was corralled near his cabin. His
thoughts while walking to the corral
were not particularly disturbed for the
welfare of his valuable stock, but when
he reached the corral and found Jits sad
dle horse slaughtered, its mane and tail
severed from the carcass and conspicu
ously hanging on the corral bars, waving
a sort of defiance from the perpetrators

of the outrage, his passionate rige iS
manded immediate revenue. Like a flash
the mysterious disapiK'arance of his stock
was made plain. They had doubtless
shared a similar fate. Quickly securing
extra ammunition, both six Ehooters and
"old meat-in-the-pot," his muzzle loading
rifle, with his dog, he started for the
mountain and canyon fastnesses, plan
ning revenge as he went.
Meeting three prospectors on the moun
tain who had an extra horse, the four
started in pursuit, well mounted. In a
deep canyon where one of the tributaries
of the Eel river comes cascading down
from the mountains they stopped to wa
ter their heated animals and noted the
peculiar color of the water. It actually
had the appearance of blood. There was
nothing mysterious about this to Uncle
Jack. The pursuit was over a far as
the Indian hunt was concerned. The scar
let strenm indicated clearly the scene
that was being enacted up the stream.
The Indian? were bntcherinc his stock
and washing the carcasses in the river.
Farley at once became the leader of
the small expedition, ordering his volun
teer to separate and follow the angles
of the stream at different points, while
he proceeded fearlessly to the front. It
was fully an hour before dark, and he
determined not to defer the battle until
daybreak. This detei initiation had not
quite resolved Itself in his mind when a
shower of arrows fanned his face, two
btrikiug the old hore. Quickly jumping
off the animal, he made for the cover of
a convenient patch of brush, the Indian,
continually pouring arrows into the
thicket.
"From ths terrible yells I knew that
the wood was full of them," said Uncle
Jack the other day. "A crack from a
rifle of one of my companions tempo
rarily checked the onslaught upon me,
and when about to draw my rifle to
shoot 1 was confronted with the closest
call to death ever experienced in my ad
venturous life. Within 25 feet of me lay
n savage 'buck' of herculean strength,
prone upon his back, with both feet in
the position where his bauds should be
on his death dealing bow. Both hands
grasped the sinew. The arrow was ad
justed. Ilis intention was one mighty
effort to penetrate my body with that ar
row. His failure to do so has always
been a mystery to me. He must have
fumbled the adjustment of the arrow for
an instant. In that instant he was
'stopped.' "
Some idea of the powerful Flrength of
the redskin can be drawn from the fact
that his dying struggle snnpped the bow
in twain. This identical bow hangs in
Farley's cabin as a memento of victory.
"After dispatching this foe," said Far
ley, "the fight was on in earnest. We
were all well ambushed and had our
game in the open, some 00 'bucks' strong,
their squaws having retrented out of the
range of firing. Their stock of arrows
waB fast becoming exhausted. We lost
no ammunition upon them. Every shot
counted, and we soon engaged them in a
hand to hand encounter, as we could not
reload.
"We had already killed some 25 of
their number from our cover when they
charged upon us with huge Indian clubs
some three feet long. We made a stub
born defense by roughing it with our
gun barrels. The faithful old dog here
showed his valor by running around me
in a circular manner, biting viciously at
any 'buck' that got inside of the circle.
He charged upon them with the fierce
nes of a tiger until the few remaining
"bucks' retreated. The killed numbered
36." '
ST. ANNE IN NATURAL ROCK!
Straricre .Work of Nature In a New
Jemey'Stone Qnnrry.
Long processions of people, mostly the
Italians living in the neighborhood of Iho
Oranges, K. J., are daily making their
way to the stone quarry of John
O'Rourke, half way up the steep side
of the Orange mountain, to do homage to
a peculiar yellowish spotin the side of
the cliff. The figure is declared by those
who have seen it to bear a striking re
semblance to St. Anne, and not one of
those who have made the pilgrimage
could be induced to believe other than
that the yellow spot in the cliff is an ap
pearance of the saint and child as they
are pictured in sacred paintings.
John O'Rourke, the proprietor, discov
ered the figure. There had been a small
rock slide on that side of the quarry, and
Mr. O'Rourke inspected the cliff every
morning to make sure that it was safe
for the men to work in that vicinity.
One morning he was surprised to see the
shining figure. He said nothing about it,
however, but when it remained for weeks

as bright and sharply defined as at first
he became interested and called the at
tention of some of his workmen to it.
The Italians immediately declared the
figure to be that of St. Anne and pro
claimed the appearanace a miracle. Ths
stone in which the figure has appeared is
a solid face of bluestone, and tho figure
seems to stand out in relief. In the sun
light it seemed to be of copper or brass,
and when gazal at through a glass a
faint radiance, such ns reflected by
bright metal, could be distinguished.
There is no formation in, any other part
of the cliff of a similar nature, and Mr.
O'Rourke says that no copper has ever
been discovered in the quarry.

The basket dances of the Hop! In
dians of New Mexico are designed to
bring rain and are usually held in Sep
tember, though sometimes a month later.
The public exhibition occurs on the ninth
and last day of the festival and is re
peated several times. The women who
take part are divided iuto two groups
the basket bearers, or chorus, and the
basket throwers, or Lakone manas
(maids).
At the lat celebration of the baket
dance at Walpi, as reported for The
Journal of American Folklore, the bas
ket bearers were numerous, consisting of
INDIAN LOVti:S STIiL'GUUSG FOK THE BAS
KK1S. women of nil ages, married women,
maids and young girl. Each wore a
small feather ml her head, and the maids
-b;id their hail done up in two character
istic whorls above the ears. All were
clothed in ihite blankets, with rd bor
ders, aud wore necklaces, ear pendants
and other ornaments. The four chief
priestesses led the procession, the girls
closing the line as it enteied the plaza.
K:irh woman, nilult or git I, carried a lint
h-iskcU which she held verticall) in both
hands by the rim so that the conenve
vide was outermost. After marching
into the plaza a circle was formed by the
women, and all sang in chorus a song,
paits of which were not audible. As the
Ming continued the baskets were slowly
raised and then brought slowly down
ward to the level of the hips, in cadence
with the M)iigs. At the same time the
body- was slightly inclined forward, but
the feet were not raised from the ground.
After the basket bearers had sung their
songs a brief time the basket throwers
approached the circle, led by the Lakono
toka, who retired at that point.
The basket throwers were two in num
ber, and at each presentation during the
day were personated by different women.
Each woman wore two white ceremonial
blankets, one wrapped about the shoul
der, the other on the loins. The latter
was tied about the hips with a knotted
girdle. These women wore anklets, but
no moccasins, ear pendants and a profu
sion of necklaces, and their faces, arms,
legs, feet and hands were painted yellow,
with black lines ou their cheeks.
Each Lakone maua carried in her
hands .corncobs in which eagle feathers
were inserted and on her back a bundle,
doue up in n piece of calico, containing
the" objects -She later threw to the spec
tators. These two women entered the
plaza -lfter the basket bearers had begun
their -songs and posturing and were led
by the Lakone ni.ui. His arms, legs and
body were painted yellow, and he wore
a white ceremonial kilt with knotted
sash, lie was profusely decked out with
necklaces and other ornaments and car
ried in one hand a flat basket containing
yellow pollen, with which he dr6w sym
bols of rain clouds on the ground. Upon
these symbols the women threw their
corncobs with attached feathers, and the
man picked up these objects and laid
them in a row upon the meal figures
which he had made, after which, as the
women advanced, he handed thpse ob
jects to them.
This was repeated several times until
the Lakone manas entered the circle of
basket holders. The priest then left
them, raid they untied their bundles and
took positions at oppositepoints of the
space inclosed b the basket bearers.
Each oue then held n basket high in the
air and crossed to the other side, ex
changing positions with the woman oppo
site. This was repeated a few times,
and finally the basket throwers hurled
their baskets high In the air, so that they
fell in the crow 1 ui young men. who
struggled for possession. This was re
peated several times, and then the wo
men filed off to their kivas. The struggle
of the men for the baskets continued
long after the women had withdrawn.

SNAKE HUNTING.
A Special Charm to Rural Life In
Fennsyli uuln.
Pike county farms, with the exception
or those lying iu the narrow valley of
the I.'elaware, are wedged in among
rocKy Lflls and are separated by wide
wastes of half grown foiest and brush
lands, says an enstern Pennsylvania cor
respondent of the New York Sun. L'f
foits at cultivation have been confined to
a few acres here and there that lie a tit
tle lower than the surrounding hills', and
some of the farms have small streams
running through them. The cultivated
parts of Pike county do not interfere
very much with the processes of nature,
and the natural conditions for the propa
gation of snakes in general and for rat
tlesnakes in particular are almost ideal.
The question whether or not snakes re
quire drink is still under discussion, but
it is a fact that they flock to the valleys
during a drought, attracted perhaps by
the greater quantity of piey to' be found
near a running stream.
At haying time the farmers of PJkc
county merely hire a couple of extra
hands and set them at work with scythes
in the old fashioned way. The mowers
bejnn at one corner of the field and rock
their way around and around. An occa
sional snake is seen, and almost invari
ably it drags itself into the shejer of the
long grass. When the held fs once cir
cumvented, there seems little inclination
on the part of the snakes to escape, and
they aie gradually rounded up in the
center of the field. Finally nothing re
mains iinmowed except a small square
in the center. Then the fun begins. As
this -square i rlneeO. the Tojic -of Iho
timothy can be seen vibrating with the
movements of the snakes. There are
snakes of all kinds and conditions, from
the thin and harmless garter up to a rat
tler of the size of a man's arm. Very
few of them attempt to creep across the
mowed part of the field. Neither do
they appear to mind one another at this
moment of common danger. Rattlers
and copper heads and black snakes crawl
over, under and around oue another pro
miscuously. As the unmowed part is still more re
duced, and with greater care now on the
part of the laborers, the rattlers begin to
send out their shrill challenges and pre
paic for their final stand. It is apt to bp
a vigorous fight, too, for haying time is
chosen with regard to heat and dryness.
A rattler's natural home and fighting
ground is among the rocks along the side
hills, and the man who disregards . its
warning here is either a fool or a novice.
The men, armed with poles long enough
to deal a blow without getting in range
of the snakes, have much the advantage
in the open. There is always a fight,
however. The agility of the snakes is
such that the deathblow is often delayed
for five or six minutes of continuous
thrashing. When a man misses a blow,
the lithe bodies are hurled at the end of
the stick with a speed that is marvelous,
and very ofteu a few drops of venom
are left upon it. The pilots are even
more lively than and nearly as danger
ous as the rattleis, and when these are
dispatched attention is more leisurely
directed toward killing off the other vari
eties. It is a wholesale massacre, noth
ing in the snake line-being-'allowed to
escape. The skins that will mnke mar
ketable trophies are separated from the
dead snakes and tanned for sale to some
city boarder, who will hang them up in
his room and undoubtedly lie about them
before next Christmas.

jears ago.
At Lamarque's funeral the crowd took
out General Lafayette's horses, as the
famous soldier was leturning home fiom

hotel with many evidences of enthusias
tic love and admiration. The scene was
a stirring oue, and a friend, in teferring
to it some weeks afterward, said, "Jiou
must have been very much pleased."
Lafayette looked at him for a moment
in Mh-uce and then said, with a whim-sit-al
smile:
"Yes; I was very inri-h pleased very
much pleased indeed. Rut I never saw

Nathan Carter was going as fast a a
car would take him to offer himself aud
his fortune to Miss Xellie C'lendennin,
but the face that hauntd him as he
rolled along was not Miss Clendeuuin's.
It was a face of great beauty, a youug,
serious face, with wide dark blue eyes
and a tenderly curved red mouth. Only
a dream face, but at two and thirty Na
than Carter was a bachelor because of it.
Carter was an artist. Innumerable
times he hail essayed to paint the face,
but the eyes had always eluded him.
There was something in their depths that
mocked him.
"Pshaw! What a fool I am!" He gath
ered himself together with a jerk. The
jerk terminated in a jump, for there at
the window of the Markview hotel was
the face, framed in furs and feathers and
looking down wistfully into the street.
He left the car as soon as it turned the
corner and hastened back to the Mark
view. The face was gone, but even as he
looked a lady and gentleman descended
the steps to n carriage that awaited
them. The lady was very young, slender
and graceful, aud for oue moment those
wonderful eyes met aud held Ins. Ihen
she was hurried into the carriage by her
companion, a tall, fiue looking, gray hair
ed man. evidently her father.
Cuter heard the order, "To the Tenth
street depot!" and in a few minutes was
clattering after them. He found them
in the great, domed waiting room evi
dently in trouble, for the girl looked dis
tressed and her father much flurried.
Carter bought a paper at the newsstand
near by and dallied over it.
"I can't send any one for it," the gen
tleman was saying. "I must go back my
selfand leave you, my dear.
"Indeed, indeed, I don't mind," cried
the girl in silver sweet tones. "We have
20 minutes yet aud that is time enough
if jou go at once. I will wait for you
just here. Hurry!" She gave him a iit
tli! push and, tumbling his several pack
ag-- into her arnir, he rushed away.
"Great heavens, I can't lose her now!'1
muttered Carter in despair. "If only I
knew her name or where they are bound.
Is there no way no way?"
The girl walked toward the window
and, one of her parcels slipping from her
amis in her endeavor to recover It, the
remainder were scattered on the floor.
Carter gathered them up in a twinkling
and offered to tie up one which had
escaped its fastening. He seated himself
beside his dream and when she had said
"Thank you," he could not summon
fortitude to leave her.
"She hasn't had time to be frozen into
conventionality," thought Carter. "I
will risk it and speak to her. It is now
or never."
no leaned over and spoke rapidly,
earnestly and with convincing eloquence.
"I saw you nt the hotel. Do you know
I have been seeking for you ten years?
Your face came to me in a dream and I
have neter despaired of finding you until
today. 1 was going no matter when,
but I saw you. I could find no way f?
speak to you. so I followed you here,
hoping against hope. If you knew how
your face has haunted me you would for
give me. Fortune has favored me with
these few moments, do not be so cruel as
to deny me the privilege of speaking!
How could I see j ou go out of my reach
wjthout making. :m effort, evpn at the
lisk of being considered ungeutlemanly!
Will you not tell me that you are not
angry?"
The wide blue eyes looked earnestly
into the face bent over her, so dark and
eager, so full of pleading.
"You saw us at the hotel?" she asked.
"Yes, I saw you with your father, but
you know I could not speak to you there.
It was just as you were leaving. See.
here is my card. I have traveled a great
deal, perhaps some of your friends may
know 'me. You are not angry? You
think this is surely something more than
mere chance? I have loved your face so
long, I know its every feature. Do you
hate me for my presumption?"
The girl's soft eyes fell.
"I saw you when we came out of the
hotel, and I I like jou," she said very
softly.
The blood leaped to Carter's cheeks
and he lifted his hand impetuously, but
let it fall again. Her very innocence was
her protection, and he only touched the
hem of her cape reverently.
"We have such a short time! Tell me
where you are going, where I can see yon
again. I will find a way, if it is to the
ends of the earth. I cannot lose you
again. I have sought you so long; when
ever I have traveled I have sought in
vain for that beautiful dream -face that
has been my inspiration. Arid yon were
a little child growing up into perfection?
It is not mere chance, that we have met
today, and we must not lose each other.
Will you tell me where I can find you?"
The girl glanced at the, clock.
."Yes," she said shyly, the color coming
and going in ber cheeks. "We are going
to New York and shall stop at the Wal
dorf. Come there and I will see you."
"Whom shall I ask" he was begin
ning, but she held up a warning hand.'"'
"We must not let him know," she whis
pered, as the tall gentleman, red anil
breathless, rushed up to them.
"Here we are, dear," she said, smiling,
in her silvery sweet voice. "I haven't
been alone. I have met an old friend,
Allen Carter. Allow me to introduce yon.
Mr. Carter, this is my husband."
"Very happy, ery happy, indeed, Mr.
Carter," flustered the gentleman, as he
shook the rigid hand extc-ided to him.
The bell cla,nged loudly, and he seized the
girl's arm and 'hurried her '.breathlessly
away. ,
She looked Wack-v-ver her shoulder and
smiled, bewitchingly, significantly.
"Do not forget your lesson," she said
softly.

Hold the book with its back on a

the front, nnd so go on, alternately
opening back and front, gently pressing
open the sections till yon reach the

three times and yon will obtain the
beat results. Open tho volume violently
or carelessly in any one place and yon

Got the WronB Wmnan.
A pnstime which obtains among the
farm classes of Korea, known as the
"packing off of widows," consists of a
raid by some disconsolate widower and
his friends on some village known to con
tain a yonng widow, the forcible abdnc
tion of the lady in question and her mar
riage to the widower. An instance of
this kind ha3 recently come to onr no
tice. A widower living in one of the
villages of Kangwha with 11 friends
went to a hamlet close to the walls of
Kangwha city where a widow lived
and seized and carried off, after some
what of a battle, a yonng lady. It so
happened, however, that they had mis
taken the house and unfortunately got
hold of the wrong lady. Early the nest
morning an indignant posse came in
pursuit, but the men who had commit
ted the dastardly deed succeeded in
eluding them. Tho yonng lady, how
ever, was rescued, and after the house
of the widotver aud its contents had
been completely demolished she was
escorted home in trinmpb by her hus
band and his friends. Kobe Chronicle.
Hook SivlueinK In Denial.
The people of Gangntia. in Bengal,
bave a barbarous practice called hook
ewinging. They deck themselves out
with garlands, and then assemble to
gether to undergo the most horrible tor
ture. A wire abonta quarter of an inch
in diameter and seven feet long is
pierced through the tongue, and then
the wretched being will dance for over
half an hour with the wire still hang
ing through the tongue.
Some of them form themselves into a
row and are then sewed together by a
wire needle threaded with cord They
are eewed by the arms and look like
herrings on a wire when ready for the
book.
It is thought that the victims are
drugged considerably beforehand, owing
to the snllen, dazed expression they
wear throughout, bnt sometimes one or

Dolled .Rice.
, Thomas Mnrray, the noted chef, Bays
many cooks do not know how to do so
simple a thing as to boil "rice properly.
Each grain of rice, he says, should be
distinct, whole, but at the same time
tender. To accomplish this, a small
quantity of rice should be boiled in a
large pot nearly filled with water. Pnt
itinto cold watef'nnd a little salt and
boil rapidly for 20 or 30 minutes. Test
the grains occasionally, and whena
slight pressure between the thumb and
forefinger will crush them they are
done. If allowed to boil till the grains
burst or boiled iu a small quantity of
water, the grains will stick together.
When done, drain off the water and set
tho rice on the range, where it will
beep warm. Exchange

A Scholar and a Ne'er Do Well.
He came in answer to a jesting para
graph of my colleague "Picaroon," seek
ing employment, a tall, straicht man,
with hair slightly grizzled and a stiffness
in oue leg. His clothes were shabby and
had apparently been made for a smaller
man, ibr his waistcoat and trousers re
fused to meet, and round his waist was
wound a red bandanna handkerchief.
He apologized for this irregularity on
the ground that the possession of only
one shirt rendered it difficult for his
laundry woman to get to work as fre
quently as was desirable.
But his collar was irreproachable, his
mustache was waxed, and, amid the
wreck of his fortunes, he had clung to
his eyeglass, which he screwed into his
right eye at intervals.
From the waist upward he looked like
a retired colonel. From the waist down
ward he presented the appearance of
a sandwich man. But as the head is of
more import than the feet I concluded
that he was a gentleman and offered him
a cigarette and a drink.
He accepted the cigarette and smoked
it with somewhat feverish hast. As for
drink, he would take a lemonade.
"It is better to drink nothing stronger

pawned mj- clothes to pay the postage
and worn out my shoes tratrping the
city. But I keep pegging away, and it
will soon end It is a sort of penance,"
he added, reflectively contemplating the
ash of his cigarette.
"What are ycu?" I asked.
"A failure at present," he replied,
with a quiet laugh. "But I have been
most things."
"Tell me."
"First I was a medical student; then
I ran away and enlisted. After that I
got a place as medical officer on an
American ship.
"On the west coast of Africa I caught
yellow fever, was deserted by my com
rades and had to walk 300 miles before
I picked up another ship.
"After that I went to Paris, completed
my medical studies and took my degree
of bachelor of science.
"Since that I have done everything
you can think of. I have invented a
face powder that was advertised in all
the papeis and brought me iu 20 a

"Ah! Do you remember an article in

"I remember it very well."

He handed me the letter.
"And you wrote the book?"
"No. My health broke down, and I
had to go iuto a hospital. I had had
nothing to eat for five days, and it near

went to the publishers, I was too late."

"Some call it that. But there are bet

My friend puffed at a fresh cigarette
while I reflected on the incongruity of n
Greek scholar in a dosshouse.
"Why is it?" 1 asked, "that a man of
education, experience and capacity can't
get work when he wants it?"
"I know no one," he replied. "1 sup
pose I am tin- most friendless man in

"But a man of your knowledge, who
doesn't drink, who"
He turned suddenly on me and looked
me in the eyes.
"Ah, that's it!" be said. "I ouht to
tell you that. Some years ago I married
unfortunately. It was not her fault
and she's dead uow. But I had trouble.
And I drank. I don't do things by

while Theodore, dispensing largesse of
