AN INDIANS MISTAKE.

Gun.

Gun.
I. S. Minott, of Marshfield, Oregon,
the center of the elk, bear and cougar
country, though business man, is at
the same time one of the most noted
sportsmen of the Wild mountains OF
western Oregon. He had just been on
an elk hunting expedition to the
Humptulips river. II went up on the
Humptulips, he said to San Fran
cisco man, with Ben Foss, who is a
noted hunter of Marshfield. There are
two ways of hunting elk and deer there
by still hunt and with hounds. We
chose the former. We followed the
trail which we had found and soon came
in sight of quiet band. Then we Just
shot-that's all-and brought down an
elk apiece. 1t was something like kill.
ing COW in barnyard-no frills to it,
nothing dramatic, but easily done
About this time along came an old
Indian known as Humptulips Pete
who lives at the mouth of the Hump
tulips. He saw the band of elk and
began blazing away The elk were
rounding ridge, and as one got to the
top in the clearing he would fire. he
kept this up till he had fired eight shots
and he didn't stop one They
all ran on and disappeared. The
Indian looked at his rifle, sighted
it again and then examined it all
over carefully. Mr. Foss and /, who
had by this time come mp, saw ne was
much disgusted and told him he had
better go on over the hill, for we be-
licved he had killed some of The elk
and he would do well to go and see
anyway. He shook his head appeared
more put out than ever, and finally
left us and went toward his cabin on
the Humptulips, We were busy skin
ming the two elk we had killed, chop
ping off their heads and saving some
meat, so that we didn't think of him
again for some time. When we got
through we went down to the Indians
cabin.
"As we approached we heard an aw-
full shrieking and sounds of somebody
beating somebody else. We rushed in,
and there Indian Pete was hammering
the life out of his squaw. She was al
most killed. We hauled him off, and
finally got from him a story that she
had bewitchcd his gun. He said that
was the reason he hadn't killed the elk.
We explained to the superstitious In
dian that there was nothing in that
and that he had probably shot some of
them, and, if he would go over there.
we would go with him We finally got
him to consent to it. All of us went
back, and just below the hill we found
eight elk lying dead. He had hit one
every time-shot it in the paunch-and
they had run long way before drop
ping. They'll do that when they are
shot that way. 1t was such killing
as ! never saw before. There the elk
were, all scattered out in row in dis
tance Of an eighth of mile.-San

SKIRT LINING.
Some of the Light Materials Best Suited to
the Purpose.

Uhe purpose.
Taffeta and grosgrain silk, sateen,
percaline, soft-finished can't brio and
sleazy silesia are all suitable for this
purpose. The cambria is light in
weight, and requires from five to six
yards, according to the length and style
of the skirt. Many like silesia, think
ing it will wear better, but the outside
is always ready for remal,ing before the
lining is worn. OF silesia four to five
yards may be needed and a yard of
linen canvass medium quality-for
the bias facing about six inches deep
for the bottom, and may be had already
cut bias and wound on a large roll if
preferred. Velveteen is now univer-
sally used for the bottom of skirt in
place of the long-worn skirt braid, and
comes in inch-wide rolls of three yards
each, or may be had in quarter-of-a
yard pieces cut bias from the piece
goods. AS skirts are now from three
yards and half to four yards in width
one roll of velveteen is not sufficient
and two make it quite expensive, but it
wears well and the manufacturers are
busy on longer rolls that will soon be
in the retail market Skirt Innings are
sewed up on the machine with cotton,
but the velveteen should be stitched on
with silk and hemmed down with twist,
as it gets a constant strain and wear.
A silesia facing outside of the canvas
gives a neat appearance but adds to the
weight, and the lighter skirt can bc
made the more comfort the wearer will
certainly have. When making skirt,
baste each portion as carefully as though
it were a waist, and try it on before
some one having critical eyes When
you secure perfect fitting skirt cut
the pattern of it in wrapping paper and
care for 1t zeaiously. Ladies' Home

A reporter called npon Mr.. Emmons
and told him the purport. of Mrs
Weldin's letter He said that he did
not represent Mrs Weldin and did not
want TO- lie represented the friends of
the new road and wanted the Levy
Court to pay over the money so that It
could be opened. The road commissioners
were appointed, condemned the property
and allowed Mrs. Weldin 81, 900 for the
right of way. Their return was
confirmed by the court and it
only remains for the Levy Court to pay
the money. If Mrs ,Weldin,will not accept
the 81, COO it will be placed in the hands
of third party or deposited to her credit
