quently takes his horse and rides out on
the plains of Neb aska. One Gay about
dusk he came suddenly upon deep ra-
vine. A spiral column of smoke circled
skyward, and told him there was a
camp below. The rider dismounted.
His scheme was to visit the emigrants
and get drink-of water. He turned
to descend, when a cowboy, six feet
tall. and armed from head to foot, stood
before him.
"Come down to the camp and see us, y
said the cowboy.
Mr.. Finch decided that since he had
been invited it would be impolte for him
to decline.
There are four Of us now," said the
cowboy, complacently. "Come inside
and join us in game of poker"
Mr.. Finch was too we'll bred to refuse
so kind request. He also realized
that life is sweet. The game continued
till an early hour Mr.. Finch didn't
lose much; he didn't have much.
Something seemed to strike the cow
boy; he started.
''Come outside by the fire." said he
to Mr.. Finch. II have something to

Jealous Zuni Women.

-
That the society and influences OF
this brilliant capital have proved entic-
ing and bewildering to more that ono
man whose affections had not wandered
beyond his hearthstone before visiting
Washington is a we Eknown fact, but
its effects have lately been felt in re-
mote quarter, which might have been
supposed to be exempt from all outside
influence, and especially from the fas-
cinations of Washington's society and
is ladies. 1t is even rumored that di-
vorce, or its equivalent in the customs
of the people of the most ancient race
on our continent, may occur in high
life among the Zuni Indians in conse-
quence of the visit the chief men of the
tribe paid to Washington last spring.
Those who have read ".Gulliver's
Travels have seen nothing therein
more incredible than the Zuni Indians
have found the stories told by the aged
Pedro Pine and others OF their tribe
who visited Washington last spring.
When Mr.. Stevenson, of the Bureau
o Ethnology, and his wife, his inest ma
BILE helpmeet in his researches, visited
Zuni in the early autumn they did not
see Pedro, who, in spite of his fourscore
and ten wears, was out of the town at
work on his farm, They, however,
heard much of his wonderful mar atives
since his return, those who had staid at
home saying that Pedro had ''talked
necessarily since he came back and had
told many les He had told them OF
the water he had seen run in the bath
rooms, and the gas, and of the fine
things in the Washington houses, and
they would not believe word of it all.
Worse than all, he had told the Zuni
women that the plainest white woman
he saw in Washington was handsomer
than the prettiest Zuni woman. This
naturally aroused their indignation,
which they expressed freely to Mrs.
Stevenson, asking her if it could be
true. The wife of Pedro's son, ''the
Governo-," is passionately in love with
her husband, and anxiously asked Mrs
| Stevenson if he fell in love with any
| Washington ladies, as his father said
| thew were so beautiful.

his career in Washington, especially in
his wfe's presence. When asked what

Washington had given him, which he
had worn when he left aud while here,
he admitted with some show of feeling
that his wife had taken them from him
after he got home and she heard what

THE EXPOsITOR's WRATH.

The following we clip from the
Capac Bugle in answer to the item
we inserted three weeks ago. Listen
to the weak, sickly tones that have
passed through the bell of the Bugle
ont upon the clear air of an enlight-
ened country
"This shows plainly that the Ex-
PosIToR has been waiting for some
chance to give vent to its wrath on
Capac, and see what small thing has
called it forth. We published such
'stuff" as it was given to us and with
good authority, but we now see our
mistake in not using the modified
terms "quite deep" ''about one mile"
etc. The line that was surveyed last
week crossed the swamp at "a place
where il was less than one-half mile
in width with two or three sand bars
running through it, making it less than
one-fourth of mile Of swamp to cross.
AS to the compass, it never refused to
work. The trouble was, that after
crossing about one mile Of that quite
deep swamp it knew the road would
Centre. and was trying to hurry the
surveying party back to Rosebug to
run the line by Old Brockway, and
thus save time and expense to the COM
pany. Capac does not care cent
which way the road is built, but mon
ey enough cannot he raised to build it
by the way of. .Brockway Centre"
The above is a conglomeration Of
a few sneaking ideas which the Bugle
is trying to pawn off upon its read
ers. The fact that it comes from the
source it does is enough TO convince
us that we need not be alarmed as
to the road passing Brockway Cen
tire by. We are sorry to learn that
we have the least bit of illfeeling to-
wards Capac, and hope the Bugle
will forgive us for allowing such a
"small thing" to call it forth-ses-
ing, as it says. that we have. The
Bugle says: GAS to the compass it
never refused to work." but in the
next toot it makes, admits the fact
that it did refuse to work on ac-
count of crossing the swamp that
bounds Capac on nearly every side.
Then it goes on to say that "Capac
does not care cent which way the
road is built, ETC." Why, then, are
ber citizens resorting to every pos
siblc means in their power to pre-
vent Brockway Centre from getting
the road? Oh, no Capac docs not
Garcia cent which way the read is built
but knows which side her bread is
buttercd OH, and that is why they
are working so hard against us. In
conclusion we wish to ask the Buglc
to produce its authority for assert
ing that the road will not be built
by the way of Brockway. Centre.
Would you not feel cheap if money
enough could be raised to buila the
road by Brockwav Centre?
