tative Carter was toaay before the secre-
tary of the interior on the question of the
removal of sheep herds. from the Crow
reservation. Some time ago an order was
issued directing that all the sheep herds
must be removed from the reservation.
Carter represented that there were vast
tracts of lands which the Indians had no
use for. and that the grazing on them did
no damage. The secretary gave him con-
siderable encouragement en- the subject.

MURDERER BURCHELL IN LUCK.
Will Try to Prove an Alibi-Important
Prosecuting Witness Gone.


WOODSTOCK, Ont, Sept. 20.-The case of
Reginald Burcnell for the murder of Fred
C. Benwell in February last, viii be called
Monday morning. From all that can be
learned the defense will be an alibi, and
that Benwcll was alive after the date on
which the murder was supposed to
have been committed. Detective
Bluett, who has been unceasing
in his efforts to complete Burchell's de-
fense. has secured two men who, il is said,
will testify thar they saw Benwell after the
18th of February, the supposed date of the
murder. Witnesses will be brought from
Brantford who. it is said, will testify to the
same effect.
The case of the prosecution is somewhat
weakened by the fact that it is reported
that Melville w. Pickthal, whose name
was connected with the murder at one
time rs suspect, and later as an import
ant witness, has disappeared, and that he
will not appear at the trial. Burchell con-
tinues as confident as ever and shows the
least concern of all connected with the
case.

Don't blame the world because the thcrns are

The day that breaks In storm may be all sun
shine when 1t closes
We cannot hope to always meet with fortunes
fond caressing;
Az d that which seems most hard TO bear may
bring with IL a blessing.
The buried seed must rot in earth ere IL pro-
duce the flower,
And the weak plant to fructify must have
10th sun and shower,
So man. to gain development must struggle
with life's crosses
And view with calm philosophy hia trials and
his losses.
A deadly, pois'no weed may yield salve OF
surcst healing.
The sweetest blossom may pois'nous be al.
though its bane conoealing.
Things are not always what they seem, but
still twas Heaven designed them,
And we should class them all as good and take
them as we find them.
Little we know of this brief life, and nothing
Of its sequel
Then let us take in humble trust all that may
seem unequal.
Gods ways are not our ways, and He should
certainly be trusted
All that IL wrong in His good time win surely
be adjusted.

a bottle Of chlorofoxm which he had
taken along, thinkingp perhaps Ii might
be needed if old Steve's case should prove
as serious as represented Quick as
thought, with the arm which was free
10 move. he drew forth the bottle, UNI
corked it, and hurled the contents full
in the face Of the wild beast.
For a second the sharp claws dug into
his shoulder to the bone. and6hen, utter
iny cry which was almost human in
lis distress, the beast relaxed his hold,
rolled overe on the ground, and lay there
rnotionless.
With great effort of tho viii, for DR..
Newell was in some degree affected by
the drug, he managed to reach his horse
and get into the saddle. And Lightfoot,
as if realizing that the danger was over,
hurried off of his own accord at his best
pace and soon carried his master TO the
little knot of woodcutters' huts which
formed the settlement of Windy Gulch.
And DIR. Newell, completely exhausted
and bleeding profusely from the wound
in his shoulder, fell senseless into the
arms of the man who came out to receive
| him.
Poor old Steve was dead and beyond
the need of surgical aid, and for time
it seemed that DR. Newell was in fair
way to follow him.
His injuries were very severe, and for
many days he lay in the hut of Pierre
Duva!, taking little note of what passed
around him.
Louise nursed him-Louise, the old
mans daughter-and of course you have
| guessed that Louise was young and beau
tiful, and that the doctor loved her.
And you have guessed right
The Duvals were French and had been
driven from their country by some po-
| litical difficulties, about which Dr. New
| ell, as an American citizen, cared moth
| ing. How strange ii is that we Amer
leans, who are so touchy on our own po-
| litical opinions that we can scarcely be-
lieve man Christian if his political
creed differs from ours, care SO little
about the politics of other nations.
| And, if Louise Duval had been HUI
guenot or Hottentot, it would not have
changed the doctors regard.
| They were married in the hut at Windy
Gulch, and during the ceremony they
stood on the skin of the catamount,
which some of the wood-choppers had
found aud dispatched before it recovered
from the effects of the chloroform.
DR.. Newell gave up his practice in Os-
| ceola and went east with his wife and
her father.
Perhaps he was glad to show Mrs. Isa-
bel Sanders that she had not quite broken
his heart And now in one of our east
ern cities the rival belles-among the
married women-are Mrs. Job Sanders
and Mrs. DIR. Newell. And it is but jus.
tice to remark that the brilliant brunette
face of the French beauty almost inva.
riably bears away the palm from Isabel
of the golden locks.-[ Y. Weekly.

One way to Amuse the naby

Walbridge surprised the baby Sunday
night. He didn't intend to surprise it he
intended to amuse. He had been to church
and on reaching home drew his revolver
from his pocketto put taway. The baby
reached for the weapon-a double-action
Wesson-and if the baby wanted it tho
baby must have it. Realizing that it was
a perilous plaything Walbridge drew the
ridges-everyon of them-from the
artillery, and then to show the baby how
to operate the toy he pulled the trigger.
That was where the baby was surprised /
1t would surprise any baby to see its papa
shoot the cook-stove on quiet Sunday
night with an unloaded revolver when
the cook was quietly pur,uing its
vocation and digesting hard wood at the
rate Of an armful minute The gun
that was empty went off, and didn't go
off silently, either Puck.

Balloons Fondness for Milk.

The balloons, always troublesome to
the crops, have of late developed new
propensity. Mr.. III. A. Dryden, author
of "Kloof and Karroo" Nongmans),
says: Some years back some one baboon
having come across the dead body of a
mich goat, discovered and extracted
the milk bag, and, like Eve, saw that 1t
was good His discovery must have
been quickly impaired to his fellows, for
the Karroo farmers began to find their
mich cows ripped up by these brutes
solely for the sweet and luscious milk.
The balloons, too, becoming accustomed
to butchering, presently turned their
attention to the flesh, and will destroy
kids and, if they can manage it, goats
for their flesh alone. AS the author
remarks, this modern development of n
carnivorous habit coincident with the
increase of flocks, is analogous to that
observed in the sheep-killing parrot of
New Zealand.

Miiier,s Charity.

On the breaking out of the revolution,
committees of safety We're formed in
different districts to support the cause.
AT the head of the Lancaster county COM
mittee was Michael Widman, who kept a
public house, and who had been q vestry-
man in the reformed church. This
church Peter Miller had left when he
joined the Baptists. Widman prosecuted
Miller to a shameful extent, even splitting
in his face when he met him.
Widman was at first bold and active in
the cause of independence but become
discouraged and resolved to go to Phila-
delphia and conciliate General Howe, the
British commander, who then held that
city.
His reasonable intentions having be-
come known to the Americans, he was
arrested and taken to the nearest block
house at the Turks Head, now West
chester; he was there tried by court
martial and sentenced to be hanged.
Peter Miller, hearing of his arrest, went
to General Washington and pleaded for
mercy toward him. Tho general an
swered that the state of public affairs
was such as to make it necessary that
renegades should suffer. "Otherwise |
should most cheerfully release your
friend"
Friend I" exclaimed Miller, "he is my
worst enemy-my incessant reviler.
Said the general, My dear friend,
thank you for this example of Christian
charity |" and he granted Widman's par
don.

The Money Spend for Liauor.

The actual amount of malt liquors con-
sumed in 1888 was 767, 587, 056 gallons.
This includes not quite three million gal
Ions of imported beer and ale. The manu-
facturer's price to the retailer is above
rather than below 90 cents per gallon.
At 90 cents the cost to the dealers would
be 1853, 517, All. The retailers get an
average of go cents per gallon, which
makes the cost of the consumers $780,
622, 233 which the American people spend
annually for maltliquor, principally beer
The most careful estimate puts the cost
of wine to the consumers at S72, $40, 1856,
and of distilled spirits 1870, 226, $50. This
gives us grand total of 1912, 449, 100,
nearly one billion dollars spent annually
for liquor by the people OF the United
States How few people realize the
enormous expense the use of liquor en-
tails on the people. Aside from the tax
imposed by the general government the
local tax on the trade is not 5 per cent
of the cost

A Grent Head.

One of the attractions at church fair
recently held in Norwich, Conn, was a
lottery conducted on a small scale. Ten
persons contributed 10 cents each. Each
subscriber drew slip of paper from a
hat The slips were numbered from one
to ten. The papers were then placed In
another hat and monkey was allowed
to pick one out. The person who had ut
the first drawing obtained the slip se-
lected by the monkey was entitled to 90
cents, 10 cents going to the fair fund.
After each drawing by the monkey the
slips were destroyed. One nighta young
man won over $50 at this little game of
chance. Nearly every time the monkey
drew the slip this young man had Sc
lected at the first drawing. Those pres
ent marveled at the young mans luck
and but for an accident they never
would have have ascribed his winnings
to any cause but good fortune. Every
slip of paper the young man drew he
rubbed with piece of lump sugar. OF
course the monkeys weakness for sweets
led him to pick out the sugared slip.
The young man dropped the piece of su.
gar while he was rubbing it on slip
and then his smart little game was dis
covered. Il Boston Times.
