A Pitiful and Painful Invasion.

to relish the deep snow of the open
prairie, where billiards. are sweeping
with tremendous force. The poor
creatures are actually frightened, and
don't know what to do with themselves.
They get under the bridges, or in the
bitches on the sides of the track, or
gather in knots and punches in the
willows, near streams, and don't seem
to care to Craze. The native cattle ap-
pear to fare badly also. but the greatest
suffering is among the new cattle,
who don't know what to do for water.
The acclimated stock will take great
mouthfuls of snow when water is not
to be had. and in this way manage to
allay their thirst to some extent, but
the pilgrims have not yet learned that
art, and are therefore suffering in con-
sequence. The streams and creeks
are frozen so hard that they are no
longer useful for watering places.
Yesterday afternoon, as a freight train
on the Northern Pacific railroad was
nearing Saltwater "a town in the west
ern part of the Yellowstone Valley,
the engineer discovered the track
ahead of him completely blocked by
cattle. Before the train could be
stopped it rushed pell-mell into the
very midst of the animals, and plowed
them from the rails, right and left. A
heavy snow-plow was in front Of the
engine, and it crushed four, killing
them outright. Fourteen others were
damaged more or less by the time the
train came to q standstill, and yet the
rest would not move. The train men
then got down and drove the animals

just the Leg for Arctic Climate.

All Smith Sound explorers have
something to say of the Esquimaux
with the wooden leg. Everybody
knows, of course, that timber does
grow III that part of the world, and
the man with the wooden leg must be
quite curiosity to the Ellesmere Land
Esquimaux, who occasionally visit
their friends on the Greenland coast.
His name is Arrowtah. One day, when
he was quite boy, he was out on a
hill hunting birds, when great stone
rolled on his foot and crushed it. His
mother to save his life, cut off his leg
about six inches below the kneen with
a knife made of bone. Arrowtah sur
vived the rude surgery, and grew up a
stout young man, but was almost en-
tirely helpless to his tribe, because he
could only hop around on one leg. In
1849, the surgeon of the North Star,
one of the Franklin search vessels,
made him a wooden leg, which was re-
paired and renewed by DR.. Hayes,
eleven years later. Twenty -four years
after he first put it on the Polalis party
found him still stumping around on his
good, stout oaken leg, and he could
hunt auks with the pest of his tribe,
though the difficulty of travelling over
the rough ice made him useless as a
walrus hunter. Arrowtah at last ac-
counts was very anxious to cross over
to Ellesmere Land in search of a wife.
He said none of the ladies in his own
tribe suited him.-Br0okzy7a E0qle.

ahe,d desired to- find the average under
which, at the least expense, he. coulti.
get the greatest amount Of labor ont
of the convits. But i remember that
one day in 1877 Icame up to a gang
of convicts who were. working on a
Texas railroad, and where one Of them
had been killed by guard. / asked
one of the guards how it came about,
and he told me. that the man was an
unruly fellow, who gave them q great
deal of trouble. and thatit was cheaper
and safer to give him a chance to at
tempt to escape, which was done,
and the man was killed as, he ram.
The leasing system in arkansas was
'inaugurated while Mr.. Garland was
governor. Senator Garland is regard
ed as just and humane man, with more
than average friendly bias in favor Of
the negro, but in this matter he drifted
with the general sentiment of his state.
The Georgia eonvicts we're hired out
to- a number OF people, and were en-
ployed in variety of pursuits. Sen
ator'Joseph e. Browne has large num-
Der of them employed in his Dade coal
mines, while other gentlemen with
political influence have contracts for
large numbers of them. In the north
ern states, and notably In Ohio, polit-
ical parties abolished the convict con-
tract system inside of the penitentiary
because the workingmen, who were
voters, demanded that such COMPETE
ton with them be ended, but in the
south, the negroes being the working
class, the system is allowed to flourish
in the most extended form. But the
evils of the system are overlooked in
the profits resulting from it to the
contractors, who usually represent or
combine with themselves the strongest
political influences. 1t amounts to
system of limited slavery, in which
the master has but one interest, and
that is to get the largest profit out of
the slave, losing sight of his physical
wants or the preservation Of his health
for that matter, for the courts are
actively engaged in keeping his quota
full, no matter how short-lived the
convicts may be. That convicts are
short-lived anyone will admit who
gives the subject any attention, be-
cause under the methods of treatment
they could not live long. OF course,
the contractors always reply that
such statements are false, and dare
the writer to come down where they
are to prove them. That they are
backed by public sentiment goes with
out saying, for if they were not the
leasing system to contractors outside
of prisons would be ended at once.
Legislative committees have visited
prison pens in Alabama, Georgia, and
East Tennessee, and found nothing in
them to condemn.

Street-Car Ethics.

Temptations to natural cupidity are
never ting, but the street-car fur
nishes most practical illustration in
the matter OF half-fares to children.
The teaching which children receive
from many parents, who would be
shocked if not considered highly moral,
if it does not develop into tirst-class
rascality, must be neutralized by God,
stretching out His hand to save the
helpless, or fail of any effect because
they are too inattentive or stupid to
heed the parental teaching and exam
pie. To those compelled to observe it
there can be no surprise at the respect
able family and church character of
many of our heightened scandals. The
bent given to plastic childhood will
not be Strengthened out in manhood
by any fear of the penitentiary.
We have, with pain, witnessed an
humble scene, both for mother and
child, in their combined efforts to cheat
the conductor. Nor has this surprise
been lessened in knowing that many
reputable-lookingm mothers actually set
cupidity to the work of helping the
natural bent of childhood to falsehood
for the reward of half-fale. When
the conductor comes round and re-
ceives from the mother fare and
half he says, where is your child?n
''Here he is,'' is replied. He looks
amazed, as does everybody else, to
learn that the half-grown youngster is
under five years. He asks the infant,
elbow old are your" to which it re-
plies "Four years" looking out for the
future that.still they may keep margin
to travel on. The mother is not dis
concerted at the skepticism of the con-
ductor, nor is her youngster we'll
trained in the ethics that there can be
no harm in cheating corporation.
We have seen in one Of our exchanges,
a like experience, which runs as fol-
lows, and shows that our judgement
is3not EXCEPTIONAL:
Il know young boy who IS being
simply ruined in his education by his
mother. HE'S eight years old, with
all the noble instincts of probity and
obedience which generally character
ize a boy nature. This tender parent
has instructed him that whenever he
gets on car the appearance of the
conductor to collect money for his fare
reduces his age under five. He has
been educated to give that figure when
asked by anybody who wants to col
lect money for his transportation.
Last week a friend of the family was
displaying his interest in the child by
inquiring his age. The little fellow
'hesitated for moment and then look
ed up at his mother: Mamma is he
CONDUCTOR" No, child Then am
eight years Old
But a stranger fact, if possible, is
how soon a metamorphosis into man
hood or womanhood takes place when
seat is to be occupied. That baby,
which for half-fare ought to stand by
his mothers knee, or sit on her lap,
spreads itself over a whole seat.
Weary men and aged women NAV
stand. A woman who will teach her
child to do this meanness for half
fare will be just selfish enough to let
them stand. Fraud is always cruel

Ten Serious Mistakes.

1t is a mistake to labor when you
are not in a fit condition to do so.
To conclude that the smallest room
in the house is large enough to sleep
in.
To think that the more a person eats
the healthier and stronger he will be-
come.
To take off proper clothing out Of
season because you have been heated.
To imagine that if little work or
exercise is good, violent and prolonged
exercise is better.
To go to bed at midnight and rise
at daybreak, and imagine that every
hour taken from sleep is an hour
gained.
To believe that children can do as
grown people. and the more hours
they study the more they can learn.

heard of legislative Investigations, but
i am not aware that any legislation
has ever followed which was intended
to mitigate or change the methods of
treatment to which the victims were
subject. l once talked to Mr. Ward on
this subject, and he told me some of
the methods by which he controlled
refractory convicts. In one case a
man refused to leave his cell to work
in a brickyard. Mr.. Ward went to
the blacksmith shop and had two long
iron hooks made, which were heated
red-hot, and then taking two guards,
who covered the man with shot-guns.
he told the man to come out in one
minute or he would have him dragged.
out with the hot irons. The man
marched out and was bound and given
one hundred lashes. I asked Mr..
Ward what he would have done had.
the man refused to obey the order, and
he replied tl1athe would have dragged
him out with the irons, and if he had
attempted to assault any of them the
guards would have killed him. He
said that one guard could watch eight
men, and then, with significant look,
added that sometimes it took eight
men to control one desperate man, but
that such fellows usually attempted to
escape and were killed by the guards.

One more eventful action took place
here, and then the old pile was re-
legated to its present state of desola-
ton. Early in July, 1777, Burgoyne
left Crown Point on his famous inya-
sion of New York, and one of his first
acts was to encircle Ticonderoga with
his forces. Out yonder in the lake lie
his frigate and gun-boats, cutting off
communication by water. And here,
toward Lake George, Gen. Phillips has
seized Mount Hope, cutting off retreat
in that direction. St. Clair in COM
mand has not force enough to man
one-half the batteries. BY the fifth
day the fort is nearly invested. Phillips
taken possession of Mount Defiance
here on the southwest, so high and so
near to the fort that he can count
every man and gun in it, and is put
ting guns in position. St. Clair holds
a council of war and decides to retreat.
At 2 o'clock on the morning of July 6
the garrison is in motion, stealing
away quietly up the lake shores to-
ward Castleton, and away from the
eager besiegers. The hot pursuit was
without result.
This was the last incident of moment
in the history of Fort Ticonderoga.
On Burgoyne's defeat at Saratoga the
English abandoned the fort, and again
reoccupied it in 1850. Then came tho
year 1888, aud Ticonderoga became as

valley fifteen or twenty miles. Many
thousands of acres of range were burnt
and some loss of feed, and perhaps OF
other property, was sustained. Many OF

down on Wa-Keeney from the northeast
Nearly all the male population turned out
and back-fred to the east of the town. A
great stretch of range was burnt, and
considerable property was destroyed.

This Wasn't the County af All.

For the seeming reason that school-

counties, noble Trego WAS under the ban
for few hours this week. On Tuesday
Attorney General Bradford telegraphed
to County Attorney Nelson to restrain,
for the time being, the further sales OF
school land by our county treasurer.
Prof Lawhead, state superintendent OF
public instruction, reached Wa-Keeney
on Wednesday to survey the field. Mr..
Kelly, before the arrival Of Mr.. Lawhead,
declared that he would proceed with the
sales this week as usual, because no fraud
had been perpetrated or even thought of.
The county clerk and the county attorney
felt that a grave mistake had beeh made
down at the state house. Mr.. Lawhead
found things straight, and he felt very
glad. The cloud had passed.
