TROY.

The last rains were a great benefit
to crops, as already IN some parts grain
was suffering.
The game of ball between the Troy

score. Considerable bruising was the
result.

FROM the present obstinacy of the
Indians 1t would appear that the work
of securing the requisite number OF
signatures TO open the Big Sioux res
ervation is doubtful. The Indians con
tinue to hold private councils every
night in which they relterate their hos
tility to the treaty. Sitting Bull pro
longed absence from the Standing
Rock Agency cannot be accounted
for on any other theory than that he is
making mischief in other agencies

ton, says the commission may rs well
20 home and talk to children. The
Indian children who have been away
to school read the treaty to the Indian
council and are doing much to en-
tighten their uneducated brothers
Chief Gall makes the strongest argu
ment against the treaty. He says
every time treaty is made it is either
misunderstood 10y the Indians or else
the whites violate 1t. That unless the
Indians stop this foollshness and KEEP
what lands they have left, THEN
children will grow up poor and call
their fathers fools. The proposition is
so liberal that it seems impossible tina,
an Indian even should reject it. The
commission is striving to keep the
news of the opposition at this agency
from being made public, rs they feai
it will strengthen the opposition sen,
timent to the measure already known
to exist IN the lower agencies.

SEVERAL South Dakota counties
have already elected delegates to the
Watertown Convention. Hon. o. 5.
Clifford, from present indications, will
undoubtedly come into the convention
with the largest number OF delegates.
Harrison Allen, of Fargo, Melvin
Griggsby and Judge Palmer, OF Sioux
Falls, and Hugh j. Campbell and r,
J. Gamble of Yankton, will also have
considerable support on the "go in. .
Judge Clifford will receive a good
support from this portion of Dakota
on account of his good work IN behalf
of division, and the Judiciary and
reservation bills. Sully's delegates
will probably go uninstructed.

THE Rev. John 4. Br ooks, Prohi

preached in Minneapolis recently, and
in the course of his sermon he said
"Christian men will fill all the offices
of the Government. Laws that are in
league with hell will be repealed, and
in their stead righteous laws will be
both enacted and enforced. One by
one the organized hells on earth are
gong down. Feudalism, slavery, and
the slave trade are gone. Polygamy
is outlawed. The liquor traffic is the
last of these organizations of crime,

How 10 phntograph Birds.

DR.. r. W. Shufeldt suggests to orni-
biologists that they may find portable
Photographic outfits Of advantage in their
studies. He finds that by the use of the
instantaneous shutter birds may he
photographed in nearly all of their posi-
tons. ''Out here on the prairies we will
often find an old stump or stalk upon
which a dozen or fifteen species of birds
will alight during seven or eight hours OF
almost any day suitable TO use the camera
upon them. Now, all we have TO do is
TO properly set our instrument near this
point. conceal it in such q way as not TO
alarm the birds, focus it sharply upon the
perch where they alight, place on your
snap shutter and fix il with a string,
and then remove yourself far enough
away TO pull it when you have a subject
sitting to your liking. Birds that you
have wounded but slightly may he pho
~tographed under the most favorable cir
cunstances; they may also be taken sit
ting ON their nests; in actual fight, how
ever swift; in pursuit Of their food; in
leading about their young; indeed. the
list is almost an endless one. Rookeries
also offer admirable subjects, and a
splendid field Is open at those wonder
full resorts Of water birds in such places
as the Bahamas or the Alaskan coast. -

Sending Unsealed Letters.

The point Of etiquette" in regard to
not sealing letters sent by the hand Of a
friend. is to be considered, undoubtedly,
as settled by the usage Of polite society.
And yet there are two sides to the ques-
ton. To intrust to u friend an unsealed
letter 10 a third person is a compliment
TO the friend; but why should it be
thought necessarily unGmplimentary if
the letter be sealedl Ont the other hand,
the sealing Of a letter may be deemed
always advisable, for m good reason at
least. The contents Of an unsealed letter
are never safe. They are safe 50 far as
the honorable friend is concerned, but
not safe in any other sense. They may
be lost from the envelope easily and in
~nocently. They may be distracted
and read by the servant to whom
the note is delivered at the
door, N by any prying individual who
may 1gl the missive lying on the hall
table and awaiting the owners arrival.
Especially unsafe is il to place in an I'M
sealed package articles Of large money
value. Would any sane man send a $50
bill in an unsealed envelope by the hand
of a friend or anybody whomsover! The
friend himself, if he knew the nature Of
the inclosure, would be very apt to pro-
test against this sacrifice Of common
sense at the shrine Of etiquette.-''C. s.

child, about three weeks ago, who was

Early Inhab,tan,s Of America,

A glance at the g~eologies OF the pres
ent day shows that workers in this de-
partment Of natural history are enabled
70 map out the continents and seas OF
ages ago almost as correctly as they can
those Of today-so distinctly are the old
shores and landmarks outlined. Today
we ride in cars across the American con
tipent; yet not S long ago., geologically
speaking, a vast inland sea extended
northwest from the Gulf of Mexico
finding its boundaries, in all probability,
on some shore now submerged beneath
the waters of the Pacific.
This was during what is known as the
age Of chalk, or the cretaceous period
and millions of years ago, if our geologi-
cal estimates are correct. The question
as To whether man existed then is an in
teresting one. Evidence OF human life
has not been found; yet there were vast
areas Of land, with animals and plants of
great variety, and as there was no physi-
cal barrier to human existence, in the
opinion of many the cretaceous CONT
nents and islands were populated by
mar.
Knowing the actual conditions Of life
at this early time, the strange animals
that lived during it, it is a comparatively
easy matter TO understand or appreciate
the daily life of our ancestors. 1t is
evident that they were much more
primitive than even the bushman of 20
day, and undoubtedly were what we
would term wild men, living in rocks
and caves as the lower animals do. They
were essentially hunters and fishermen,
depending upon game for their susie
nance. The small continent Of America
at this time had in all probability low,
marshy coasts, and the great ocean or
gulf, whose coast line can be traced from
Arkansas to near Fort Riley, on the
Kansas river, up to Minnesota to Canada,
neal the head Of Lake Superior, was a
vast shallow sea. On its borders we may
imagine cliffs Of sandstone worn ont into
caves and quarries, in which these early
fishermen made their homes. -Phila-

Whose Face Il Her Fortune.

The tabled butterfly seated in the
roses heart is not more confident OF
present sovereignty, and more thought
less of the future than the hapless wp-
man whose face is her fortune and
who is content Herewith. An un-
spoiled beauty, il not a lusus nature, is a
specimen Of her kind sufficiently rare to
warrant surprised inspection. So diff
cult is it for her to keep her head steady
and to order her heart Alright, that even
her plain visaged companions accord her
magnanimous applause when she sue
ceeds in doing one or both. She is more
likely To pose rs Narcissa, exacting tribute
of alteration 10y inordinate estimate Of
her attractions. Once convinced that
she is the beauty Of her family, she
aspires TO eclipse every woman she
knows; is loath to perceive the charms
of others, and, when forced to do
them partial justice, hates her rivals.
The speck of blight works fast
and far in a nature where the
conserving power of sound sense has been
reduced To a minimum by excessive
NdilAsi poiAlSllup upon Hi'il'ihoiii's
Flattery, conveyed in various vehicles, is
her daily diet, and, if stinted in supplies,
she seeks it avidly, and at any coSt-let
it be of her W soul. Earth has no
drearier spectacle than that of a passe
belle, who clincs with both hands to the
scepter claimed by younger or fairer pre-
tenders 10 the throne.
1t is harder for beautiful women to he
good than for those who have been
taught from babyhood TO seek the ap-
proval which all crave in the cultivation
of mental and moral traits. Hard for
them to put self out of sight. Our beauty
is so fair to view; promises such lavish
return for outlay so tritling that friends
conspire to foster self-esteem. 1t is
harder for her than for her sisters to re-
frain from appeals TO the sensuous love Of
physical beauty in men that leads them
to critical survey of her as 4 fine animal,
not the goodly case of a goodlier soul.
Harder 10 be generous to those who
trench upon her province and threaten to
divide her spells, Marion Harland in
Philadelphia Times.
