The idea was absurd \ human being

rocks, without causing instant death. The
red hermit OWNED my thoughts, and he
said

to deceive the Dakotas, and they did
"Winona secreted long rawhide rope
under her shawl and dropped it where her
lover was secreted without stopping to
speak, as had been planned
'When darkness came Little Coon went
TO the top Of the bluff and making moose
on one end Of the long rope, he laid the
circle at the edge Of the rock, put the thong
around the projecting point of stone, and
lowered the end TO the earth below, and
then went down to await the coming Of
Wnoua.
"When he heard the death song from
the young squaw's lips, he grasped the rope
firmly.
"Winona wound her shawl about her
breast and then put the moose around her
body under her arms, and was ready for
the leap.
"a wild cry rang out, and Little Coon,
who was a very stout young brave. held
tightly and let the little squaw down.
AT the same time he pushed with his
foot "A large, round stone from its resting
place, and it went splashing into the waters
of Lake Pepin. As soon as Winona touch
ed earth she and her Chippewa lover ran
10 the water whore the canoe of Little Coon
was lying, and they padded away. The
long rope was taken with them. They
swept quickly up the smooth surface Of the
pretty Pepin, ard when the light came they
were hidden in thicket where Little Coon
had left some food
"When the sun went down again they
hurried away from the big river to the
east, and when light came they hid again.
After long journey they came to an
other river, and when this was crossed they
were in Canada. Here they lived with
new names, and became friends of the
whites, and no one knew the truth. The
Dakotas knew that Winona was dead, and
the Chippewas thought Little Coon killed at

eighty years together in this grand forest.

but a little time ago Winona died. leaving
her old and feeble companion alone. She

Precocity in a child is a thing to be re-
GREETED rather than encouraged.
Few precocious children rise above the
average in adult life Rather the tendency
is to fall below it. During early childhood
say the first seven years-the brain is i'm
perfect both in form and substance, and
any strain then put upon it is at the ex-
pense of future vigor.
One trouble is that the brain of such "A
child tends of itself to dangerous activity
and another is that the fond parent is al
most sure, sometimes unconsciously and
sometimes purposely, to push it to the limit
of its power.
What the parent should do is to hold the
child away from schools and books and ex
hibitions, from talk above its years and
from admiring friends and to keep it down
to childish mates and sports and simple out
door activities If it should not learn its
letters until eight years of age, so much

Those few railroads which have prompt
" met the demand of the times and adopt
ed a system of steam heating for their pas
senger trains, find the new method a sue
cess in every respect The Wagner vesti-
bule trains between New York and Chica-
go over the New York Central and the
Pullman vestibule trains over the Pennsyl-
vania railroad, were equipped with steam
heating fixtures at the beginning of the
season and have found the system satisfac-
tory both in mild weather and with the
mercury below zero. The most severe test,
however, came ON the Chicago and North
western railroad during the recent blizzard,
That road was running an excursion train
at the time, the excursionists being com
posed of officers of the road, practical
railroad men from other roads, and in
vited guests During the journey across
/ the great plains the train encountered the
: terrible blizzard, and the mercury went h
| 20 degrees below zero but the train was as
warm and comfortable as a wellbuilt and
/ well-warmed house and the ventilation was
perfect. There is no longer any good ex
/ cuse for railroad companies TO endanger
the lives of their passengers by the use OF
the deadly car stove, The essential thing
now is for connecting roads to agree on
some system with uniform and interchange
able fixtures for their cars.

Four territories Dakota. Utah, Wash
ington and Montana-an unusual number
at one time, are nov applying to enter the
Union. The admission of Montana and
Washington is certain in the near future
but there are questions in relation to the
other two which may delay their admission
beyond that of the others la the case OF
Dakota the question has arisen whether it
shall be admitted as one state or two. The
local ballot ON the question Of division 10y
an east and west line resulted in Il large
majority in the affirmative. Two bills for
the admission of North and South Dakota,
respectively, have consequently been sub
mitted to Congress An earlier bill is alsc
pending to admit the territory as a single
state 1t is expected that the debate on
this question will be somewhat protracted.
The admission of Utah has already been
discussed at length without arriving at any
definite conclusion. 1t is evident that there
is a widespread feeling Of dis trust in the
pledges with which tho Mormon territory
comes before Congress for admission That
the present constitution of the territory
prohibits polygamy is not regarded as q
sufficient guarantee of the good faith of
the Mormons in the event of the creation
of state which they could control.

The more researches are made the more
apparent becomes the fact that the terrific
ry of Alaska is exceptionally rich in nat
ural resources Generally we should re
gard country in 60 degrees north latitude
as a cold aud desolate waste but when the
statistics of meteroogy show that the ther-
mometer ranges from 3 degrees below TO
Il degrees above zero, it is very convinc-
ing that the climate is neither hnrshly cold
nor scorching in its heats. The fur trade
and fisheries are now the tcrritory's chief
source of revenue, but the gold mines may
yet prove Alaska to be the modern FL Do
RADIO The Paris mine is 'panning OUT a
monthly product Of over 100000 and has
yielded $1,000, 900 during the two years
which it has been operated The placer
mines are so rich that the miners will not
work any that yield less than $40 a day for
each man working, and probably the limits
of the gold fields have not been reached.
Lieut.. Schwatka brought back from his Mt
St. Elias expedition black dust that indi-
Gated the existence Of gold in paying guam
tites, and which showed that there are rich
gold-bearing quartz veins in the mountains,
from which this dust has been worn off and
then washed down by the streams. The
richness Of the salmon fisheries has long
been recognized and to this may be added
the cod fisheries. The governors report
shows that this years commerce of the ter
ritory was as follows Fur trade, $500 600;
gold mines, 81 800, 900 fisheries, $4,000,
600 lumber and ivory, 100000; total,
81, $50, 900
Secretary Stewards purchase Of Alaska
from Russia in 1867 for $1,000, 900, was
much derided as being so much money
thrown away on a barren waste but al
ready the annual product Of the territory
from its own natural resources equals the
amount Of the original purchase money.
