from Andrew Saltise, the head oil the
C9ur d'Alene Indians, asking the
saloon men not to sell his people

found drunk in town he would like
to have the city marshals arrest
them and send word to him, and he
will go and get them and put them
in his Jail. He also talks to the
county clerks about estrays. and
says his people lose many horses.
He closes by saying: Il want to be
Mt peace with all the whites, and
would like to have the whites use
my people as they use one another"
1t is but q few years since Saltise
rode at the head of the Cpur d'Alene
warriors and was II savage chiefbent
on destroying the whites. Now he
rides around the country taking
fatherly interest in his tribe and
keeping them straight He is thrift
ty and well to do, and rides into
town in q comfortable carriage be-
hind a good pair of horses.

GARDEN MRMOnIEs.

A garden old stretches down toward the sea,
The flowers INTENDED, the wild thorns grow
ing,
The sun burns hot, and the wind from the
lea
Now and again is restlessly blowing:
Trying to wake in this land of death
Some song of the past; scentless breath
Oflaughing roses, and lips so fair
And sunbeams playing mid golden hair.
The oleanders lie withered and broken,
From the thicket hard by comes no thrush Is
song,
Would ghost not rise II n word be spoken,
Or step resound the dark alleys along?
A ghostly hand full of fnr withered flowers
Scattering it's burden pole in showers,
Like sea foam driven upon the wave
To cover a long forgotten grave.
The sun and the wind and the rain come
thither
To the garden old that stands by the sea:
The flowers dream and blossom and wther
And the wild hawk hovers over the lea.
But a fair head sleeps in the bosom OF death,
The red lips will never again draw breath,
All are ut rest now; naught left to show
Tho love and the sorrow of long ago.

An Alabama Negro Killed bya Bear,

Three negros-Ned Taylor, Jim
Robinson and Joe Sweeney-went
squirrel hunting in the swamps of the
Warren river, few miles from Car
thage, Ala. In hollow stump they
found two young bears, and attempt
ed to capture them alive. While they
were tying one OF the cubs the moth
er suddenly appeared on the scene
and attacked Taylor. His gun was
knocked out of mis- hand and the bear
seized him around the body. Taylor's
companions were so badly frighten-
ed that they dropped their guns and
fled from the spot. When they re-
turned half an hour later they found
Taylor dead and torn to pieces by
the teeth and claws of the bear. The
cubs were in n tree, but the old bear
was lying on the ground writhing in
agony. Taylor had gotten out his
knife AMI stabbed the bear repeated
~ before his strength gave out.
The animal was killed by shot from
Robinson rifle. -Birmingham Tcle-

l happened to be the witness of an
odd scene the other day which, when
recounted, may possibly amuse the
reader, says a writer in tho Boston
Post. One of those not infrequent, but
must confess usually fictitious
necessities had arisen which take me
to stable-on this occasion to a large
establishment in the vicinity of Char
don street. 1t was about O. clock in
the afternoon, and various people were
starting for home, among them a man
and woman, who had II remarkable
Intelligent looking gray horse. Just
as he began to trot down the lane by
which the stable is reached from the
street, a stout ''party" who, l noticed,
had been watching the gray very in
tently, suddenly cried out in q loud
voice: dan. don't you want piece of
cake?' The horse stopped short,
pricked up his ears, looked around and
uttered faint whinny of recognition
and assent; nor would he go on until
the stout man had come forward and
explained his interference. 1t appear
ed that several years before he had
brought the horse from Vermont,
where he owned him for some time.
and as the beast was particularly do
Gle he had taught him the true sense
of the question the sudden asking OF
which brought the animal to u stand
still. 1t is well known that horses
never forget q person or place, and
scarcely an event. No matter how
much time has elapsed or how greatly
the horse may have changed in dis
position, one word from former
master will establish Immediately the
old relation between them.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD.


In a recent article the Western Rural
'eys that climate has an effect upon
'ool, and, to prove it. cites the fact
hat the New England mills pay a
higher price for wool that comes from
Southern Ohio. Western Pennsylvania
and portions of Western Virginia than
for wool which comes from any part of
the United States. There is different
texture to it. That climate has some
effect is no doubt true, but the effect is
rather indirect than direct. 1t ma s
been claimed that the soil has an effect.
That is true, too, but it is an indirect
effect The wool and fur of animals in
a cold climate differ from the wool and
fur Of animals in warm eli
mate. But weather as cold as
''Greenland's icy mountains" will not
cause wool to grow. 1t is wise pro-
vision OF nature that the animal in n
cold country shall be protected, but ma
ture furnishes the covering by giving
the animal II larger capacity for the
consumption of food. This difference
is due, not to a cold or warm temper
ature, but to the food. 1t is possible. too.
that in certain sections there is greater
system in management DO not let us
get the idea into our heads that any
thing, climate or other circumstances,
can relieve us from the responsibility
of good management.

The Grave Of Daniel Webxter.

The tomb of Webster occupies the
center OF large lot surrounded by
high iron fence. The vault is entirely
covered by soil and is only opened on
the death of one of the family. The
tomb was last opened in 1862 to receive
the remains of Fletcher Webster. who
was shot and killed at the last battle OF
Bull Run. In the tomb IRE the bodies
of children aid grandchildren. Not a
drop OF Webster blood now remains In
existence. The last living member OF
the family is the wife Of Fletcher
Webster. On her death the tomb will
once more open to receive her remains
and will then be closed and sealed for
ever.

Some farmers top-dress their grass
land directly after haying. Others
prefer to wait until late in the fall.
Those who have tried both methods
prefer to top-dress late in the season.
When the manure is spread upon the
elds directly after having, ii there is
protracted spell of dry weather, the
dressing becomes so dry and hard that
IL takes long time TO render it solu-
Bile, so that its fertilizing elements can
be appropriated by the grass roots.
When applied just before the ground
freezes the action of the frosts serves
to disintegrate the Jumps. The fall
rains and early SHOWS render it soluble,
and its effects upon the grass will be
plainly visible in early spring. Late
top-dressing is preferable on the
whole.

An Outlaws Dumb Pickets.

There lives in wilderness section
of this (Columbia) county hermit.
He has welded a destructive knife
and revolver in half score of TRACE
dies and is constantly on the alert,
expecting to be assassinated. This
man, who has forfeited the compan-
ionship of mankind, is guarded by
animals that are well trained watch
men. He has n magic control of the
brute creation, and owns six large
goats and an equal number of dogs.
His lonely cabin stands in the middle
of fifteen acre field. When he goes
to blowing three of the dogs are plac-
ed at each side of the field at his rows
end. The dogs are trained to patrol
the adjacent forest, and no. human
being can approach without being
exposed by these vigilan' sentries.
At night the dogs and goats lie
about the cabin-the goats without
the yard inclosure and the dogs with
in. When any human being APP
proaches these goats set up an I'M
earthly series of bleating. The dog
within understand the signal and
rush furiously at the intruder. Arm
ed to the the teeth the proprietor
halls the visitor. If found to be
friend one word from the hermit sill
ences both goats and dogs and the
guest is invited in. Thus guarded
the desperate man says he sleeps
more securely than the car, because.
unlike the imperial cohorts ofthe lat
ter. his faithful sentinels cannot be
bribed or otherwise rendered unsafe
by collision with thier owners enc.

The Value of Bran,

Farmers who live near Touring mills
can buy bran and other ship stuffs
more cheaply in August and Septem-
Der than ut any other season of the
year. The demand for this is less now
than it is later in the season. whe n
other feed becomes scarce. Besides.
millers are filling up all available room
with wheat. Bran. in proportion to
the spnce it occupies costs little, and
the profit on it is small. II farmers
have an extra dry room they can hard
ly put it to better use than filling IL
with bran and fine middlines.
