cumbersome and exhibiting traces or

"menu," and the elder Of the two, read

what ''meenew' tasted like. He did
not, and they passed on TO q part OF the
bill that contained such familiar express
sions as mutton, chops and "roast
beef" On these dishes they fixed their
choice. The senior ordered chops, and
the junior asked for beef.

The Dog wouid Last.

Since the death Of Major General Rufus
Ingalls, some good war stories have been
started about this famous fighter, whc
was born and raised in Denmark, Me-,
and his companions in arms. An illus
tration Of the generals quickness at rep
artee and down east hu1nor is his good
natured retort on Grant about the vel
low dog. It was in The spring Of 1864, just
about one year before the fall Of Rich
mond, when General Grant and q group
of his officers were seated one evening by
the cheerful blaze Of a huge campfire.
All ut once Grant, who had been ab-
sorbed some minutes iii meditation,
turned quickly to his quartermaster gem
eral, and pointing to yellow dog which
had accompanied the latter through many
campaign aud now lay at his masters
feet, snoozing, jocosely asked, II say, In
gals, DO you Intend taking that dog along
with you into Richmond7'' "Yes," was
the quick response, ''for he belongs to .
mighty long lived breed" A roar Of
laughter followed this sally, and she face
of the grim commander relaxed into d
broadsnile. Lewiston Journal.

RED CROWS
Threaten the Comfort of the White
Squatters

LAUREL, Mont, March 9.-There is
open warfare between the settlers on
the newly opened portion of ~'Crow'
reservation and the Indians. The wild
est excitement exists in the new town of
Willy and the country round about.
Ranchmen are moving their wives and
children to places of safety and are pre-
pairing to defend their claims. The In
dians who had just been allotted lands in
severalty, became angry at the encroach-
ments OF the whites, and Monday drove
off settler named Henderson. Hender-
son returned with couple of friends all
armed. The Indians assembled sent
Little Face to order Henderson away.
Little Face acted threateningly and
Henderson shot and killed him. This is
the first time the Crows have shown hos
tility to the whites. 1t is expected that,
U. S. regulars will be ordered to the
spot at once.

Nature and Authors.

There is good material for an essay IN
the analysis of the different manner in
which nature is approached by the au-
thors, and some chronological develop
ments would be apparent. The earlier
novelists, Mrs. Radcliffe and SO on to
Walter Scott, created landscape as q
background for their people; there were
storms, sunsets, seas, caves, trees and
dark nights, but they fitted into the ex-
igencies of the plot. Never did the moon
shine upon murder, nor the storm beat
upon the happy lovers, when there could
Be a first choice Of weather. With
Wordsworth there came another school,
and nature was awarded some rights Of
her own, but it was Mary Milford who
frstasked the reader himself to come out
among the roses or go driving along the
scented lanes. Everybody else had de-
scribed.
OF course everything had to be taken
as it was, but she went abroad with us
in her English weather as though she
were a Quaker matron with her quilted
bonnet cover in her pocket, and there
fore when the rain cafne it had no COM
FUNCTIONS and she no disquietude. In
these days we investigate nature. We
are not content to SEQ bird fly into the
bushes, but we must beat in after it, to
know what it is whether it is at home
or merely passing through. The observ-
ers are looking for material and would
as soon 60 atie1d without their hats as
without their notebooks. 1t is a great
gain for literature, but ii throws re-
sponsibility upon the people who are
supposed to know. II eterson's Magazine.

Serving the People.

In 1761 the town Of Quincy, in Massa.
chusetts, wanted surveyor Of highways
who had brains. The most prominent
citizen Of the little town at that time
probably was John Adams, who was q
graduate of Harvard college and sue
cessful lawyer, and who had high ambi-
tons, which were subsequently realized,
as all the world knows.
The citizens Of the town of Quincy re-
garded Adams, who was then about 26
years old, as very capable fellow, and
without asking his leave chose him to
look after their highways.
This service was not of the sort which
the ambitious scholar and able lawyer
was looking for. He knew that faith
full performance of the duties would in
terfere with his work as lawyer, but
Adams was man Of high public spirit,
and If his fellow citizens wanted him to
survey their roads it was his duty to
do it. He accepted the Office, therefore,
and performed its duties.
The spirit which he exhibited has been
shown by many other famous Ameri-
cans, especially in the early days Of our
republic. At the present time the dis
like Of Office seeking is 50 great that office
holding is looked upon by many people
as thing to be reprobated, and able
men often scornfully decline to hold an
unimportant Office.
Every persons patriotism should be-
gin with The town or city that be lives
in, and every citizen should regard his
services as rightfu1ly to be commanded,
for a reasonable time, by the community
among whom be dwells. Youths Com

SAVED FROM DEATH.
The Crew of Maine Vessel Re cued j ust
as Their Boat was Sinking.

BosToN, March 9.-The missing
schooner Sea Foam of Lubec, Capt. Rich
ardson, has been heard from. She sank
in mid-ocean OH the evening of February
21st, during a severe gale.
The crew of five we're rescued by the
fishing schooner Canopus and brought to
Gloucester, where they arrived Wednes-
dav evening.
The men had suffered terribly from
cold and exposure and had given up all
hope when they sighted the Campus,
whose brave seamen risked their own
lives in the rescue.
The captain and crew were badly
frozen. The face, hands and feet of two
of them we're frozen. The mate had
several ribs broken. It took IL hours to
get the frost out of their faces, hands
and feet. One of the men, named Cole,
lost two of his toes.
