Inst night between 15 and 120 ! men were at work in a new building being erected for a hotel bv Walter Hates, who was acting as his own fore man. Suddenly a trenieiidi ous storm came up from the southwest nni7 struck the building with full force. The' structure tottered for a mo ment, and then eollasped bu rying the workmen iu the ruins. Hundreds of citizens and laborers were soon at work ; endeavoring to rescue the im- j prisone-1 men. Inafewmin t.s the body of Walter Rates ; wa:-: tak..i out.

It is forty-two years since he made his way alone from the headwaters of the I.lisisouri to those mountains, and he is now in San Francis co, seeing for the first time in all those years a town with more thaua thousand people. His face is scarred from ar row wounds received in Indi an fights, and if he lifts his white hair from the side of his head he shows a great cir cular sear extending from a bove his right eyeclear round the right side and back of his head almost to the left ear. That is where the old man was scalped. "It was in '()(), with the Sioux," he explained, 'audit was the worse brush I ever had with the Indians. They came rpon a cam) of nine of us and one of them pounced upon me, seized me by the hair, and cut right round my head where you see the scar. Then he gave a sharp wrench upward with his right arm and laid the wholeskull bare. 1 cannot describe the pain it gave ine. audi dont believe I could have endured any more without simply dying of it. There is no other tor ture man can be subjected to that will begin to compare with being scalped. "It is common belief that n man can't live after being f scalped, but Pvesurvivedthe experience a matter of twenty-years, and I don't think I'm quite to the end of my journey yet, even if I am 70. I kuowanother man upthere, too, who didn't die under the scalping knife. The scalp was torn completely off from the top of his head so t hat it had to be constantly swathed in cotton and olive oil.

In a swamp north of the town of Astor, Fla., John Wilson cut a huge cypress tree, and was surprised to find therein an alligator sev hi feet long.
