COLD FAcTs.-We notice that our es-

In the first place he has only 331

Thirdly, he has To pay his hands in

on this spot after heroic defense,
IN July. 1901.
As 200 cavalrymen grouped around
that lonely grave every man uncover

and the story OF that young woman's
death has never becn told around
campfire In the west without making
mems hearts ache.
This Is the story, There were five or
six families OF cmigrants journcying
across the lonely plains, when they
were beset by hostile Indians. Mary
Lee was girl only eighteen years
old and had been brought up on the
Iowa line. The family consisted OF
father mother two sisters and
brother The attack was made very
suddenly, and Mary. who was riding
her own horse. was cut of from the
band. When she realized this, sho
turned and rode away and was pur-
sued by seven Indians This WAS az
about o'clock In the morning. Her
horse carried her thirty-six miles be-
fore he became exhausted, and when
he fell she made her way 10 the crest
OF the mound and there scooped out
shallow rihe-pit piled stones up around
II and prepared 10 die sighting.
The Indians were three miles be-
hind her when her horse gave out.
She had light Winchester rifle
which was fully loaded. but no extra
cartridges. Her first shot killed nm
Indian and her second crippled an
other for life. The other five dared
not charge her position. On the sec
ond day she killed another Indian,
and the other four posted themselves
In positions aud waited for hunger and
thirst TO conquer her. On the third
day they were joined by twenty OF
their band but the girl was not at
tackled. On this day an Indian. who
was creeping up TO spy upon her, was
shot through the right lung and the
others contented themselves by al
dropping fire at long range TO harass|
her
On the fourth day not shot was
fired. The weather was terribly hot,

Mr.. Reed Tells Il Story of Congressional

Moral.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. Tx
Speaker Reed recently told Benton Nc
MILAN story with moral. Mr.. Nc
MILAN thought the story a good one,
and he repeated it, though he did not
care ior the moral. When he was in
Europe this summer he met member
OF the British parliament, who like
most Britishers, couldn't understand
republican institutions.
"Ah, now, don't you know, Mr.. Reed"
he remarked, "you do things very queer
ly in the States. Sometimes over here
the electors get mad ut Parliament. we

You know, and sometimes We are aw-
fully wolloped. The electors, YOU know,
feel out OF sorts, and thoy won't listcn

We move out our parliamentary lug

Mr.. Speaker Reed, and Mckinley, and

you mind telling me how the electors

MILAN, lit was easy enough. The
electors who did the beating always
had some representatives in congress.
These just ran spit through the unior-
tunato individual who happened to be
speaker OF the house and roasted him

way everybody was satisfied. The Brit.

NEW RULES FOR THE HOUSE.

ling with the rules for the House. The
new members, who heard SO much
about Gear" Reeds methods, are sur.
prised tina. there should be any trouble
ahead, They imagined that u Demo.
cratic House could get along OF itself
without botlicrsomc regulations. When
some vi them, who have achieved noto-
rictv on tho stump, run up against tho
rules that will be adopted and find how
little tho individual member amounts

tcrly rs the Democratic leaders hate TO

is to do any lrgislating u set OF rules

tcrially from those OF tho last Congress.
They will leave out the speakers power

about ten years TO reach that point,
though tllcy will come to it in time.
They will not feel tho need II II so
much this winter, because with 81
members they can hardly have much
difficulty III mastering together ld7
members, the number necessary 10 form
quorum.
One modification OF the rules OF the
last Democratic house which is pro-
posed, and which will be strCnuoualy
advocated anil supported by Judge liol-
man and a large proportion OF the Dem
OcrNtic membership. is tho restoration
OF what is generally known as the "llol-
man rule" which was originally adopt
cd when the Democrats obtained control
OF the house OF representatives III the
forty-iourth congress. 1t is rule
which permits the fastening OF 'ridcrs"
TO general appropriation bills. 1t was
cccdcd, BY threatening TO starve the
government, in repeating several OF the
laws 20 preserve tho purity OF elections
and in gripping the public service Tor
several years.
In respect to the rule which distrib-
mtes most 81 tho general appropriation
bills among standing committees other
than the committee on appropriations,
one discovers q good deal OF difference
OF opinion among Democrats. When
the proposition was first mootcdin the
Forty-sixth Congress General Garfield
declared i'll debate that il adopted it
would lead TO unnecessary appropria-
tions and expenditures amounting TO Mt
least $20,O00,000 n year. Analysis and
comparisons recently made, it is under
stood, show that General Garfclds es-
innate was too low, and that the un-
necessary increase OF appropriations in
consequence OF the distribution OF the
Si.s has probably amounted to as im"ch
rs SSO,O00,Q00 4 year. 1t is hardly prob
able, however, that the bills will be re-
stored to the appropriations committee
by this Congress. The possession OF Il
general appropriation bill adds no in
considerable degree OF Importance and
dignity to the chairman OF the Indian
committee, the military committee, the
naval committee, the postotlice commit
tee, the committee on agriculture, or
the committee OH foreign affairs.
