Sixteen men swept down the val
ley like the wind, The firing and
yelling continued, proving that tho
man who had been called cow
ard was making heroic fight. In
tea minutes they came upon the lone
camp, made light as day by the
burning wagon. Fifty feet from the
bonfire, and hemmed in by circle
of dancing, leaping, bowling savages,
was Joseph's brother standing over
Joserh's dead body. The gold hun
ters heard the pop popl pop of the
boys revolver as they burst into
view, and the next moment they
were charging down upon the de-
mons, using rifle and revolver with
terrible effect. In two minutes not
live Indian was in sight. Joseph's
brother stood over the body, an
empty revolver in his hand. The
men cheered wildly as they looked
around. but the boy looked up into
their faces without sign Of exulta-
ton, surprise, or gladness.
There were three dead Indians
beside the wagon, killed where the
fight commenced, and the CO rpses
in front of Joseph's brother nu mber-
ed more than the victims of the six
teen men.
'Is Joseph badly hurt p asked one
of the men, as he halted his horse
beside the boy.
he is dead t whispered the white
face defender.

Joseph's brother, 'and you are TO

Every man was near en- ough to
hear his voice and note his action as
he picked up tho rifle of an Indian
and sent bullet through his own
head. With ordinations of grief
and alarm trembling On their lips,
the men sprang from their saddles

were taken up behind two of the
horsemen. They did have G burial,

from the W estefn farm JouFnai
When the DIR. said that little Roy
McA lister must die With that terror
of terrors, the Group, aud bad gone
away leaving us, we thought, IN the
presence of death, we all felt so sorry
for those dear young parents, as we
mingled our tears with theirs in their
sorrow. He was their all, their idol
of idols, and we knew how hard it
would be for them to lay him away,
from their love and their sight, until
the resurrection morning Then
came old Aunt Polly Kirk with cheer
in her voice, and relief in her pocket;
she Immediately made pokeberry
tea, and by great exertion got it
down the little throat, then she APP
piled poul.ice Of mashed potatoes
sprir killed. slightly with snuff TO the
surface of the throat, and 10 about
twenty minutes the babe lay upon
his mothers lap breathing easily, his
skin moist, the rattle gone. A little
while longer and he was sleeping
sweetly. We who witnessed the
sudden transition from apparent
death, unto life, thought it little
short of miracle think the Doc
tor felt the same way when be stop
ped to enquire the next morning, as
he was riding by, and found the child
living.
Some day | am going to tell you
Aunt Polly's life history; to me she
is a remarkable woman, and her ex-
ample is well worth initiating. Bat
just now / am going to say it would
be well for every mother who has
croupy children to grow pokeberry
stalk in her garden and have the ber-
ries fresh, ripe and dried agai nst a
time OF need.
Pretty little Minnie Wilson has
had weak eyes ever since she had
the measles. She tells me they are
ever so much better since she began
to poultice them with rotten apples.
When she has no apples she uses
buttermilk or cold green tea, to allay
the inflammation.
Joe Stoner is a young fellow just
starting out among the girls; pride
babe him wear tight boots, and il has
made cripple of him. The last time
| was over to his fathers he was snf-
fering enough to cry. He has found
thus early in life that "the way of
the transgressor is hard" However
he told me when be was here the
other day, he had cured his corns by
applying strong ascetic acid night
and morning. He dida't do like old
man Salisbury, who made a corn
crib of bis feet too, for be got mad
with pain, at the offending toes, and
one morning, took the chisel aud
hammer and amputated the toe. He
Gays that is the best cure for corns,
and justifies the act by scripture !;
"if thine eye offend the, pluck it out"
if thy toe or thy finger hurt the cut
it off.
l wonder how many of you have
early potatoes planted? Irish Jem-
my Mclaughlin says "Good Friday
is the day to plant potatoes if it
comes on Sunday" While he was
planting in the rain last Friday,
along came Joe Stiltson, the man
who says he isn't lazy, but "wss
born naturally tired" he told Jem-
my if he planted potatoes in the rain
they would all GO to tops and he
would have no praties. Which is
right, the man who goes by sigos

The Cincinnati Prtce Current, in re-
ferring to the opening Of the winter sea-
son, says:
With the first week CT the new pack
ing season there is nothing OF special
interest TO report. At this point there Is
some increase in the receipts OF hogs, as
also AZ most other points, compared with
a year ago, Chicago showing over ZO,OOo
increase in the receipts for the week COM
pared with last year. Prices OF hogs are
ruling quite steady, the demand being
sufficiently active to check the previously
noted tendency to lower prices, but the
large proportion OF packers are still mold
inr of for q decline, having no confidence
in the outlook on the basis of present
values. With corn at 33c in this mar.
ket, and selling in Chicago Tor future
delivery At less than 40c, which means
l5G25 at country points, and the present
value of hogs being equivalent to 4Oc or
more per bushel TO the farmer when led
TO hogs, and with the continued inability
of the laboring classes of this country
and sbrosd-who are the great consum-
ers of pork-to command tull employ
ment, consequently unable to purchase
oniv to a restricted extent what would
seem to be the reasonable conclusion as
to the wisdom of paying 81 IS p er 100
lbs gross lower thsn the average OF last
winters packing in the West but this
difference is not eqIsl to the loss realized
IN carrying that product INTO the mar
kets OF the summer session, and there
surely is no good ground tor calculating
ia t hog product will command higher
prices next summer than daring the
past, while there is much TO warn Opers-
tors that lower values may likely prevail.
OF the six leading cities, Indianapolis
is the only one which starts out with q
smaller exhibit Tor the first week OF the
season, compared with last year, the kill
ing since Nov. being 5000. AT Louis
vile operations have been restricted by
lack OF desired supplies, still there is q
fair business doing; Cincinnati has pack
ed about II 900 and Chicago 10000; Mil
