HINDS' SCEHElI r..
How a smith Valley RaDcher Saved
His Waterme1Ons.


Good, truthful men are scarce in
this country" said Kinds, "and l
therefore, take good care of myself.
I have found that over exertion is
unhealthful, and hence have quit
breaking the wild and vicious mus
tang, and am now engaged in the
cultivation of the fruitful and de-
licious watermelon. By peculiar
process which / have invented, those
watermelons may be kept the year
round in fine condition, retaining in
every way their delicious favor.
While the watermelons seems to
agree with, and is a panacea for
nearly all the ills with which a
white man is afflicted, its effect up
on a Piute seems somewhat disas-
trous. The watermelon manages to
ripen at about the time of year when
the pine nut harvest begins, and as
about two hundred and fifty Piute
Indians for a long time made my
watermelon patch their base of sup
plies during the entire watermelon
season, after consultation with my
son Charles, it was decided to make
experiments tending to the preser-
walton of as many as we should re-
quire for the Winter; and to this
end solution of bellyracket was
procured and small quantity in
iected into a number of the most
healthy looking melons.
We began our experiments on the
first day of September, and on the
afternoon of that day two or three
hundred Piutes pitched their camp
on the hill thcrejust above my mel.
on patch. They were sleek and fat
and calculated to stand hard seige
in the pine mt range, but strange
as it may appear the whole crowd
was taken suddenly i'll during the
night. The bowls of those lusty
bucks could be heard for miles
their cries filled my heart with ang-
uish and my eyes with tears
Charles was deeply grieved also
the tears ran down his cheeks like
rain. That boy has tender heart
In the early morning my eyes were
turned towards that Piute camp
At first / thought that it was fog
that arose over it, but, no it was
dust. Those bucks were early risers
and seemed to be as lively as crick-
cts. Jack Mcconnell was sure they
had been running foot-races all
night and had smashed down all the
sagebrush within half a mile He
said the devils had not let him
sleep wink during the night
Filling a small vial with honr
went to the melon patch and scat
tered its contents over a number OF
the remaining melons. The Piutes
looked Oh in Mortified silence until
finally one of the nights victims
came up to me and said, why you
pizen melonp l told him the coy.
otes were bad and | wanted to kill
them. He said not a word but
making his way back to the camp
the commotion was greater than
ever, aud in few minutes every In.
dian was making bee line for the
river. They had probably lost dur
ing the night the accumulated fat
of year; but l had saved a portion
of my melons, and if the pinenut
crop this year is failure / canno,
help it, l am bound to conduct my
experiments in my own way"

Thurber Mean appointment
WASHINGTON, March 24-The Secretary
of State has revoked the appointment OF
Mr. Dean f. Curry, of Albion. n. T.. as COM
mercial agent ct Yarmouth, n. s. The rea-
sons TOR this action are said to be political.
but this is denied at the State Department.
Assistant Secretary Quincy was seen by q
reporter to-day In regard to the case. He
said: 1T was the original intention of the
department. to appoint MI. Curry to this
place. 1t was formerly held by him. He
was appointed, but had not qualified. Sub.
sequentiy the department. changed its in
tentiOn In this matter and recalled the ap-
pointment. 1t is not thought necessary TO
state the reasons for the change. but the
fact is that politics. either in New York or
outside of that State, had nothing what
ever to do with 1t. would like to have
that clearly understood"
Later In the day 1T was clearly estab-
llshed that the appointment was the results
OF q misunderstanding. Mr.. Curry had ap-
piled for the office and went TO see Private
Secretary Thurber about it. The latter told
him TO 60 ana see Assistant Secretary
QUINCY. He gave him q short note OF IN
PRODUCTION. when this simple and inslg-
nificant message was deliye cred TO Mr..
Quincy it had assumed the formal proper
tions of an order from the President and
the appointment was made out accord
Ingly. The mistake was not discovered
until the President read of the appoint
mont in the papers, and on making inquiry
was surprised to learn that it was based on
q mythical order supposed to have been
made by him. The appointment was there
upon revoked.

brought to bear than that which Secretary

far. however. has not yielded to any of
these opportunities. and in every case has
said that the reinstatement could
