wood forests of part of the state, a
story which, for thrilling, weird,
woodland tragedy, excels.
In the northwestern part of. the
county, late one afternoon, just before
sunset, while the hunters were making
their way to camp, they noticed that
the rays of the sun in the tree tops of
a dense grove fell on and lighted up a
white object high up among the
branches of a largo tree.
Approaching the foot of the tree for
the purpose of getting a nearer view
of the white object, they were
to find, lying on the ground at
the foot of the tree, the remains of an
old Kentucky rifle barrel, with part
of a much stock still clinging
to it.
The barrel and lock were covered
with rust, indicating it had lain for
years in its position. While they were
examining the ancient gun. and look-
for further evidence around the
foot of the tree, the sun had so far de-
as to throw the while object in
the branches in a deep shade, making
it impossible to make out what it was.
As it was somewhat difficult to climb
the they concluded to return in
the rooming and make

man Mills climbed the tree
and found the skeleton to be that of
quite a large man, resting across two
large, limits, and tied near the thigh
bones to the same.
There was not a particle of flesh on
the hones, and but few dangling rags.
Near the skeleton, and lying across one
of the limbs, was the frayed remains
of an old coat.
Throwing the coat to the ground
descended, ii having
ed to leave the bones where they lay in
tree, rather than throw them to
the ground to be by wild an-
There was nothing to indicate how
the man had met his death, or why
his gun should be on the ground and
his skeleton in the tree.
They conjectured that the hunter
might have been chased by a bear and
had climbed the tree, and had
dentally dropped his gun, which,
striking the ground, had exploded
and wounded the man mortally; that
ere he died he had tied himself to the
limbs of the tree to prevent the
from destroying his body. This,
they thought, would account for the
broken stock of the gun.
A search was then made in the re-
mains of the old coat, which was
molded and matted together in a
mass.
An old moldy notebook was found.
In book was pencil writing, which
was still legible in places, though the
leaves were moldy and much injured
by long exposure to the weather. On
the first page there was part of a name

lately Georgia pine mingles with the

Spirit had made to tremble under

ant and varied, possessed little at-
traction for him, and he preferred the
open plains and the waters of the Alta-

When the Indian had disappeared and
the lands were divided out among the
whites, no application was made for
this wilderness. No one wanted it, no
one would have it, and hence it came
to be regarded as no man's land.
i It is a dense swamp, as impenetrable
as the jungles of India, where the pine
and the cypress and the maple and the
black gum and the tupelo are clad
with dark gray moss, and around
their trunks the pliant rattan, the
clambering bamboo, the deadly poison
oak, the running fox grape and the
thorny touch-me-not twist and cling

gnarled roots of the sun palmetto and

Cooke. and Booth. George
Frederick Cooke arrived America
in 1810, and remained here until his
death in 1812. Setting at defiance all
of the laws of nature, society and art,
ho was in nothing more remarkable
than in tho fact that in tho whole his-
of tho drama in this country he
is only really great tragedian, old
or young, who never attempted to
play Hamlet His diary records
his failure in the part in London years
before; and Leigh Hunt, who praises
him highly in other lines, says that he
could willingly spare the recollection
of his Hamlet, and that most ac-
character on the stage he
converted into an unpolished,
sarcastic
Edmund Kean first played Hamlet
in New York in the month of De-
1820, Brutus Booth in
the October of tho following year.
Concerning these men and their
volumes have been written; each
had his enthusiastic admirers, and the
Hamlet of each has become a mat-
of history. That believed in
his own Hamlet in his younger days
can be no question now, and lie

his reading of the and

part of tragedy.
considered Kean's kissing of
Ophelia's hand, in tho famous scene
between them in Act III, finest
commentary that was ever made on
Shakespeare. The manner in which
Kean acted in the scene of the
play before the king and he
added, the most daring of any,
and the force and animation which he
gave it cannot too highly applaud-
ed. Its extreme boldness bordered
the verge of all we and the
effect it produced was a test of the ex-

younger Booth, writing of the
elder Kean, comes to the defense of his
father's foe in the following noble and
well chosen fact that
Kean disliked to act Hamlet, and failed
to satisfy his critics in that character,
is no -that his was
false. If it consistent with his
conception, and that conception was
intelligible, as it must have been, it
was true. What right I, whose
temperament and mode of thinking

That Booth should not have
written concerning the Hamlet of his
father in the same charming vein is
greatly to be regretted. There are
men still living who recollect the
Booth in the part ho played it for
the last in New York in 1813

Moro Than Its Share of Tail-.
Henry Smith, of Brood Center,
Conn., was in the highway on his way
to his days work in tho fields, when
he suddenly beheld in the road what
seemed to a curious circus. A
black snake, a six footer, was curled
on tho ground, but- instead of having
a head, as the serpents Mr. Smith had
been familiar with all had, this snake
seemed to begin and, end in tails.
Eager to know the mystery of his
queer construction, if possible, Smith
picked up a stone and hurled it at the
strange reptile. He didn't hit him,
but the mystery came apart in the
middle. The big black fellow had
swallowed about half of another one
that was nearly as large and of the
same species, but instantly he dis-
gorged him when tho stone struck the
Sound. Both snakes were lively and
into the roadside wall before
the man could find another missile.
