have q distinct recollection of the first
seal hunt | ever went on. Early one
morning |, in company with about a
dozen others, set out i'll a rowboat for a
spot where the seals were said to be
plentiful. The boatmen dipped their
oars slowly i'll the water and sung III
unison weird, wild song in peculiar
undcrtone To me, being uninitiatcd in
the sport, this seemed to be a curious
accompaniment to a seal hunt, but / was
still moro surprised when one of the
men produced flute and played ON it
a quaint, sympathetic air
The effect of the music was soon evil
dent, as dozens of seals pokod their
heads up, some remaining basking on
the water, while others clamborcd up on
the lodges of rock, charmed almost to
Inconsistencies by the music Steering
the boat to the shore, the musician all
the while keeping up the plaintive air,
one of the men jumped out, He carried
with him a huge club and a long sharp
knife. Noiselessly creeping 10 where
some of the seals were lying ON the rocks
listening intently to the music, he dealt
one of them terrible blow on the head
with the club, stunning it, and thea
made short work of the poor animal
with his knife. In the same manner we
secured ii fine seals before night, -

His Hair Turned White.

Andrew Lindsey, who has lived near
Pease Bottom, Montana, for many
years, was strolling through the
Cochran. He was topped out in a
sombrero, and had Western flavor
to his speech. Said he: 1 want to
tell you yarn about how man s hair
was turned gray in one whack. 1t
was just after the Custer massacre that
IN old fellow named Pease-we called
him Major Pease, because | believe he
had been in the great and only Civil
War-well, he pressed forward several
miles beyond the hog-back where the
famous fight took place, and built a
stockade at what came to be called,
after him, PeaSe Bottom. He and his
men were carrying on a very thriving
trade with the redskins, but at that
time this business had to be conducted
with great caution, because the
savages were ugly and scalp hungry.
Two miles from the stockade was a
high point, from which survey of the
country could be had for miles in all
directions. A lookout was kept here
for Indians, and suspicious circum.
stances or warlike demonstrations
were at once reported to headquarters.
One afternoon in the summer a man
named Paul Mccormick and his
partner, named Edwards, were sent
out to the observatory. They were
riding along at gallop through the
tall grass, and were approaching the
mouth of little coulie. Edwards
wasn't tenderfoot, but he was new
conner in that region. AS they
careered along, Mccormick said !:
Edwards, what would you do if the
Indians should bounce out of that
coulie?" "Weli, "a either fight or
run" These words hadn't fallen from
his lips before bang went rife and
war-whoops rent the air. Poor Ed
wards dropped from his horse, and
Mac, hard pressed by Il band of Black
feet Sioux, made for the stockade.
The people there knew what was up,
and the pursuers were picked off as
they came within range of the lead.
The gates were opened and Mccormick
rushed in. His hair was white, and
has continued So The body of Ed
wards was found lying in the bloody
and disordered grass, and the scalp
was missing. 1t was buried on the
spot, and the legend of Edwsrds's S
Coulie is one of the best known i'll the
far West The folks at the stockade
put up rude headboard, but this has
long ago gone to decay.

THE COMING OF NIGHT.

The lettering Day looked backward, smiling.
And slipped out through the west,
Where rosy, misty forms beguiling
Besought her for their guest
"Oh, follow, follow through the west
"0ur golden portals wide are swinging
For thee alone, for thee.
And wistful voices clear are ringing
Across the darkling sea,
In eager welcoming to thee"
Aloft her silver censer holding,
The star-eyed Night drew close,
Her mantle round the hushed earth folding.
More sweetly breathed the rose,
As Night with tender tears drew close.
Her dusky sandals softly cleaning
With wandering threads of gold,
Broidered by vagrant firefies, seeming
Beneath each wing to hold
fairy spinning threads of gold.
With silent football, weaving slowly
mystic sumb rous SPELL
She came and something sweet and holy
The weary earth befell
When woven in the slumbrous spell.
