her entire body, while her face is covered
with whiskers, including a mustache. Up
to about IL months ago she was healthy
gIrl' AT about that time her body became
very hot and was covered with heavy
perspiration, lasting for several days. The
odor occasioned by the perspiration was
very offensive, and within Is minutes
after being clearly dressed her body and
clothes would become saturated as if by
some black-colorcd liquid When the per-
spiratiou ceased the hair began growing,
only leaving the solcs Of her feet aud the
palmns of her hands bare. Her voice at

though it came from the inside of d barrel
Her strength is astonishing She can
carry her ten year old sister under her arm

that the child actually does not know her

happened The landlord and his servants
set out Immediately with shovels and pick
axes, and followed the dog, which ran
quickly along in front of them They
soon reached the place where the avalanche
had fallen Here the faithful dog stopped
suddenly, plunged his face in the snow,
and begun to scratch it up, barking aud

and after long and difficult labor, succeed

after his servant They were both alive,
after spending thirty-six fearful hours
beneath the snow, oppressed by the most
painful thoughts They had heard the
howling and the barking Of the dog quite
plainly aud had noticed his sudden depart

they had heard them talking and working
without being able to move or utter a sound.
The Landamman's will ordained that an
image of the faithful dog should be sculp-
tured at his feet on his tomb. This monu-

What Caused the Indian war.

In an interview with San Francisco re-
porter Father Mesplie, the well know In
dian missionary, made the follow statement
with regard to the condition of the Ncz
Perces and the causes Of the present Iu-
dian war:
lie said the present war was caused part
ly by the cheating of Indian agents and
partly by non-attendance on their part to
the Government policy. In every case that
we have had trouble with the indians it has
been mainly ceased by bad agents The
Government has always acted wisely but
its suggestions have not been carried out.

Father Mespie-''I think it should be

believe the military to be the best policy
for the Government. As a general thing
when agents other than military men have
control, certain abuses creep in. These
agents are appointed by political influence
They may be uneducated, prejudiced OF

good families and would not allow the In

Concerning the so-called Quaker policy,
believe that every denomination should pay

For the mother to remain in an upper
