THE BED rRAME.

You will need for party of three the
following articles: One very large and
one small tin pail; large dipper; an iron
pot; good sized tin box which is put
together without solder, such one as
marshmallows come in; plenty Of matches;
a spade, an ak, and Il stock of groceries
and the like, small or large, according to
the distance from a store. If you take
tent, an by 10 wall tent will be very COM
modious. 1t should have fly to protect
the tent from snow and rain, strong guy
ropes and long pins.
The personal equipment Of each fellow
must depend largely on the sort Of sport
he intends to have, and would simply
advise strong suit Of clothes, rubber
coat, change Of underclothes, blankets,
and a roll Of bandages, court plaster and
the like to provide against possible acci-
dents; tin plate and cup knife. fork, spoon
etc. It is a good plan for each one 10 carry
some sort Of tool, such as a saw, hatchet,
hammer and nails, or any other which
promises to be useful. Add to these a
couple of balls of heavy twine, some soft
wire, few pieces of rope, an empty nail
keg, etc.
If you do not take a tent with you, the
first work will be TO build a shanty. As a
leanto is most easily built and most con
venient to use, have found that it is bet
ter to build two of them, facing in opposite

CHAPTER /.


When the Indian summer haze is how
ering over the bluffs along the Pawnee
IN these dreamy, sunshiny afternoons Of
late November, there is languorous
spell even in soldier life, and the troop
ers love TO loll about the wide porches Of
the barracks during their brief leisure
moments or while waiting the trumpet
call for stables. There is scarcely a
breath "a ar astir. The broad, fertile
valley under the bluffs, forest fringed
along the stream, gives forth a faint,
pungent, smoky odor, and the eye wan
ders across its soft undulations, its vistas
Of alternate glade, grove and shadowy
pool. and sees it all as through some
nimy, intangible veil. The sharp out
lines so Characteristic of the frontier at
other seasons, giving TO the ridge to the
northwest that razorbaclS guise that in
spired the original explorers, Keifthck-
ians and Missourians, to refer to the
range as "Hawg Buttes,p are mellowed
into softer curves.
There is an echo sprite abroad in the
autumn skies, for the distant whistle Of
the trains, the puff and pant of engines
miles away, the rumble OF the express
as it flies across the wooden truss at Big
Bend far down the valley, the lowing Of
cattle and the tinkle of their bells at the
farms beyond the reservation lines, the
shouts and laughter of village children
securing the stream banks for the last
Of the years crop of beech or butternut,
the soft laughter of the ladies' gathered
in the veranda Of the majors quarters,
all come floating through the pulseless
air to the listening ears Of the sentry
dawdling here along the post at the
western gate and distracting his atten-
ton from the purely military functions
which he is called upon to perform
Over at the guardhouse many Of the
men are browsing in the afternoon sun
shine. Among the stables the horses
are standing at the picket line, witt
dropped heads and lazily swishing tails
The officer of the guard, knowing tn,
colonel to be away on late shooting
excursion and the major held at home
by the demands Of hospitality, hal

directions and placed lengthwise along the
slope Of the ground. Cut three good sized
saplings which have forked tops and are
about six feet long, and two which are a
little over three feet long. Trim them and
sharpen the lower end. Drive the three
large ones in the ground ON the front line
OF the leanto, about five feet apart Place
one Of the smaller ones at each end about
80 feet behind the first row, and drive
them down so that they stand about three
feet high Cut two poles to span across
the crotches and tie them on. Cut dozen
poles eleven feet long, and sharpen at one
end. Drive these in the ground so that
they will rest across the first two poles;
bind them on tight. At each end drive
series Of poles, blocking it up. Weave into
this framework slender branches, and then
thatch the whole structure.
The thatching is the hardest part Of the
work and it is very often difficult to find
anything which will answer the purpose
1t is not bad plan if you are going where
you believe You will have any trouble in
getting thatch Of some sort to take a roll
Of tarred felt building paper with you.
Birch bark and other bark which can be
peeled off in large pieces make a good
thatch; long grasses will do well in fair
weather and will stand light showers, but
not heavy rains.

The other leanto should be the same and
far enough away to give room for good
sized campfire between the two. 1t is a
good plan to build a couch in the most
sheltered leanto, after much the same
manner as that in which the leanto itself
was made. Make a thick mattress with
hay, dry leaves, spruce boughs or, if at the
seashore, dry seaweed, and spread your
blankets on it.
0 Choose some clayey bank near at hand;
dig out trench near the top and place
your nail keg in it. Mix the clay with
water and fill in solid all around the keg,
from six to ten inches thick, with this
mud. When it has become dry cut a round
hole for a smoke iue and burn your keg
out. This will make a good Dutch oven
in which you can roast meat or fish or
bake biscuits Two hardwood crotches
and a pole will support your iron pot over
an open fire. The tin box you will find ex-
cellent for baking cornbread. It should
be creased thoroughly inside, closed tight
and wired shut and put in a good bed Of
ashes under the fire. In about fifteen min
htes the bread will be baked thoroughly
and brown on all sides. Use the big tin
pail for water and the little one for coffee,
suspending it with wire beside the iron pot

To provide against rainy weather dig
trench around the upper part Of the
ground and carry it off on each side to
drain off surface water A smaller trench
around each fire will not only keep the
water away from it, but will guard against

TIE state Of the Treasury at the close of the
6scal year ending with June 30th indicates
that there may be deficit at the end of an
other six months which will call for
remedy from Congress. 1t is announced
that the administration will make every eff
fort to make both ends meet until after the
Presidential election in order to avoid the
bad political effect of request for q new
loan or new taxation. but it is greatly feared
that one or the other of these resources
will have to be tried within another year.
Under the Mckinley Tariff the incomes
from custom duties have been greatly re-
duced, while the billion dollar Congress,
with its reckless expenditure of money in
pensions and other ways. have greatly in
creased expenses. So we see that as the effect
of the Radical rule the surplus of 500. O0O,-
900, left by Cleveland, is all gone and in its
place deficit this year of about $50, 900 900.
For the increased taxation needed to raise
that enormous sum OK money, only that it
may be given away to pension bummers and
frauds. the people know full we'll upon
whom TO place the blame, as the party,
which is the father of McKinleyism and
billion-dollar Congress. reckless thievery,
will discover m November.
