1t would be rather trying 10 any

Il race whose talk is the only big thing
about them, and before next summer is
ended we will probably see him begging

he will fstten himself until he is strong
enough to fight, when we will have q
repetition of the Indian outrages which
Inc leniency OF our government has made

TO an accOun. of lot very recent, but
decidedly interesting story of tenn
perance movement III the territory
of the Car. The tax upon liquors was
SO high that the pessantry banded
together determined not to drink At all.
But without drinking there could be no
revenue, 80 that the psternal government
took the matter in hand. When man
ceased to drink he was severely punished
and in one or two cases where the refusal
was obstinate the liquor was poured
down the throat of the offender. Local
