animation of Kellogg's witnesses to-day. The

poses, and subsequently refused to have any
further connection with the matter.
Senator Hill asked witness why he had not
sworn these witnesses to the affidavit himself,
to which he replied, that knowing the slippery

BRITISH INDIANS.
INCURsIoNs IN TIE NORTHWEST.
Especial Telegram to the Globe

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 15.-In a communi-
cation recently made to the war department
Col. Ruger, from his headquarters in the dis
trict of Montana, refers to the presence of
British Indians upon our territory, and the
dangers which may possibly occur from these
incursions. he says:
Considerable complaint has of late been made
by Indians of the Fort Belknap agency on &C
count of the presence on this side OF the boun-
Diary of Indians other than the Sioux,
particularly in reference to their
coming in future. 1t has, as I am informed,
been long common for Indians belonging in
the United States, particularly the Piegans and
Assipaboines, and for the Orees, Bloods and
Blackfeet, belonging in the Dominion. to cross
the line without restraint for purposes Of visit
ing and hunting. No special trouble resulted
so long as game was ABUNDANT nnt SINCE game
has become comparatively scarce in this region
of country, both north and south of the boun-
Diary, it is evident that if the present policy of
requiring Indians belonging on our side of the
line north of the Missouri to subsist themselves
as far as possible by hunting is to be contin-
ued, it will be necessary to prohibit the cross
ing Of considerable S5ds N parties .dd;t t,On
authority to that now existing is, as 1 under
stand requisite; but under the circumstances
it appears to me that it would be desirable if
some agreement could be had with the author
tiles of the Dominion for the object of con-
fning the movements of Indians to their prop
er side of the boundary,
Steps have been taken, l learn, by the Do
minion authorities to provide more than here
tofore for the subsistence of Indians in places
where they cannot live by hunting. From ia
auiry and observation l am of opinion that
the means heretofore supplied the Indian agent
at Fort Belknap will not be sufficient in any
event for the future. 1t cannot be reasonably
expected that any great progress will for some
years be made by the Indians attached to the
agency tawards sslf-support, under the most
favorable circumstances, and unless more am
pie provision shall be made to meet their ne
cessities they will be reduced to great straits
and probably resort to depredations.

Some Queer Things.

Take, for example, the following genu-
inc notice on an Irish church door !:
" This is to give notice that no person
is to be buried in this church-yard but
those living in the parish. Those in the
parish to be buried are desired to ap-
plyto me, Ephraim Grub, parish clerk. !"
Here is another kindred specimen !:
"Notice: The church wardens will hold
their quarterly meetings once in six
weeks, instead of half yearly, as former
ly." In the April of 1906, the following
bill was stuck up: "This house to be
let forever, or longer if required" Such
a house would quite match the gown
mentioned by Miss Edgeworth, (which
would wear forever, and might be con-
verted into petticoat afterward." An
other peculiar garment is described in
ore of Lady Morgan's earlier novels as
being composed of g an apparent tissue
of woven air."-Chambers' Journal.

Young Bears.

Young bears have always been favor,
ties as pets, being playful and affection
ate when kindly treated. They can be
trained to perform all kinds of amuse-
ing tricks, and their antics when playing
together or with children are very laugh
able. They have been taught to execute
difficult parts in theatrical displays
among other things, to ring bells, pre-
tend to fall dead when shot at, beat the
drum and go through the manual exer-
else of the soldier with the musket.
But, though playful and harmless when
young, they cannot be trusted when their
teeth and claws are full grown. Then
their good nature cannot be counted on
and many instances have occurred In
which they have repaid friendly conf
dence with sudden treachery, 1t must
be said in their favor, however, that their
wildness is often the result of bad treat
ment or thoughtless teasing. There is a
story in print of a planter in Louisiana
who once picked up youag cub that had
been abandoned by its mother. Or had
run away from the parental den. He
carried it home and threw it into the
yard, where it was Immediately adopted
by the little negroes. 1t became great
favorite with them, sharing their corn
bread, and taking part in all their sports.
"Billy- that was the name given to him
-thrlved and grew large and stout, and
learned to box and wrestle with the boys
so we'll that visitors to the plantation
were always entertained with those exhi-
billions. But one day in the spring,
when he had been about year in cap
tivity, Billy was detected in making free
with the young cabbages in the garden.
A stout negro man picked up a branch
of rose bush, and gave the marauder
playful stroke; Filled with rage, Billy
sprang upon the man, shook him as if he
had been a bundle of straw, and bit the
poor fellow so severely that he died. Bill
" was at once shot. A pet that could
not control his temper better than that
was considered rather too dangerous to
keep.-Hcrper's Young People.

Matrimonial Prize.

The Bitter htC0tS UHV HVNH'eS fVf '"
Matrimonial Prise.
Little Rock Gazette.l
Jesse Hamon, man from Scott county,
gives us an account of fight between two
young men, on the McAndrews farm. Two
young colored men, Abe Garland and Tom.
Ross. were very much in love with
maiden. Both were engaged to her, and
both were determined to marry her. Abe
did not know that Tom. had gained the
girls affections, and Tom. was equally ig-
norant, while the girl of course, was pretty
we'll up with the times. The wedding day
was appointed. Both men dressed as BRIDE
groom. The home of the girl was
scene of matrimonial con-
VITALITY, such as can only be truly pre-
scented at a colored wedding. The two
lovers arrived almost simultaneously. Tom,
seeing Abe, approached him and said that
he was very happy to see him there, and e1-
tended his hand. All the prejudice melted
from Abe's heart, and he grasped the hand
of his former rival and shook it cordially.
The time for the ceremony arrived. The
girl all this time had been consulting with
her mother. When she came out both men
approached her, and when they saw how
matters stood, they turned upon each other
with tiger-like fury. Here the old gentle
man, who had hitherto left matters of ar
rangement to his wife, approached and said
that if the men were going to fight they
would have to do go fairly. He didn't
want foul work at his daughters we'd
ding. It was then agreed that the men
should fight with their fists. The party re-
paired to the yard, and the matrimonial
combatants took their positions. The old
man gave the signal and the young men
sprang at each other. There was very little
physical difference between them, and the
combat was interesting. Finally Abe threw
Tom. Tom arose. Abe struck him heavy
blow and felled him. This decided the fight,
and when Tom had been lifted from the
ground the girl came with basin of water,
and, while bathing Toms face, announced to
the company that she had decided to marry
the whipped man. Then Abe became furious
and swore that he had been whipped, but as
he could not prove it, Tom became the hus-
band
