sympathies with the Indian race
which had been developed by the
teaching of some Indian pupils at Car
Isle and Hampton institutes in the
East, had induced her i'll 1885 to &c,
company Senator Dawes On u trip
through the Indian reservation. She
had been particularly interested in her
observations at Pine Ridge Agency,
nd 1t was there that she determined
to devote he" life to the Improvement
of the Indians of the West. She soon
after became a government teacher in
Dakota, and in 1890 she was appointed
supe~ rintendent of all the Indian
schools in South Dakota, being sta
toned at Pine Ridge Agency. 1t was
willie attending to her official duties
at this agency, it will be remembered,
that she first me her future husband.
He had only a short time before been
graduated from Dartmouth college and
secured his appointment as govern
ment physician.
Thus as a former resident of Pine
Ridge, the young wife found herself
surrounded by familiar objects aud by
the friendly faces Of the people of her
adoption. Her interest in the welfare
OF the Indians, always keen, was now
intensified, and she labored earnestly
In their behalf. DR.. Eastman's duties
frequently compelled him to be absent
from home for several weeks at a time.
On many Of these journeys his wife
was his companion, and, although
these journeys were marked by priva-
lions, h%ardships and fatigue, she never
uttered a word of complaint. Her en-
thus1aSln in the cause she had %espoused
o~vershadowed every obstacle, and she
labored unremittingly in the III in
which she had enlisted. Her womanly
traits We're developed during these try
ing ordeals, her courage arose to every
emergency, and the approval Of her
work by her husband was recompense
enough for any social sacrifices she
may have endured.
About a year after DR.. and Mrs.
Eastman had entered upon their life
at Pine Ridge Agency a difference
arose between them and Agent Brown,
OF Pine Ridge. The trouble dated back
to the battle Of Wounde ed Knee. The
precise character Of these differences
We're explained in the news dispatches
at the time, and since the charges
have been preferred by DR.. Eastman
against some of the Indian agents.
The most important outcome of the
differences was the resignation of his
government position by DR.. Eastman.
Early in the following year, February,
1891, Mrs. Eastman withdrew from the
Indian Rights association. Her with
drawal was due to the conflict between
herself and husband and Agent Brown.
In a letter to President Phillip G. Gar
rett, of the association in Philadelphia,
Mrs. Eastman said, among other things:

Ridge continued for about a year and
q half. During this time she wrote oc-
~casionally for the magazines poems or
prose sketches, and her letters to the
"old folks at home told of her peace
full, and comparatively u%neventful life.
There were no words of regret, nothing
to indicate unhappiness or discomfort.
It was during this period that Elaine's
only child, q girl, was born. This,
judging from the tone of her personal
correspondence at the time, heightened
her happiness.
When it was decided to abandon the
agency work DR.. and Mrs. Eastman
determined TO make their home, for
awhile at least, in st. Paul, to which
city they removed about a wear and
a half ago. Soon after taking up their
residence in that city DR.. Eastman was
requested TO prepare articles for St.
Nicholas, the Youths Companion of
Boston and other publications, which
he promptly did. finding his literary
work pleasant as well as profitable.
Soon after his arrival in st. Paul DR..
Eastman was appointed secretary of
the Young Mems Christian association
Of the Northwest at a salary of $1,000
a year. He also deyotes such leisure
as the duties of his practice afford him
TO lecture and TO visit among the In
dams. The Eastmans find their home
life in st. Paul delightful. They have
been cordially received by society peo-
pie in st. Paul and Minneapolis, and
they have made many friends among
the cultivated families of those cities.
DR.. East1nan's practice has increased
steadily. He is n hard student, devOt-
ed husband, a proud father and worthy
citizen. Elaine is happy and so busy
with domestic affairs and literary work
that she has not yet found time to ac-
cept any of the invitations to visit her
old friends in the East.
1t may be interesting in this counec-
ton to mention that Miss Dora Reade
GOodale, the younger and equally tai
ented sister of Elaine, who still makes
her home at Sky Cottage among the
Berkshire hills with Mrs. Goodale, her
mother, is engaged TO be married 10
Prof. Thomas Sanford of the univers-
ity ut Berkeley, Cal. The time for the
wedding ceremony has not yet been ap-
pointed. Mrs. Eastman's baby girl has
been named Dora Reade, for this be
loved sister.

Next winter you will want bedding
for all kinds of stock, and unless you
store it up now the chances are that
cattle, pigs and colts may lie cold many
a night to the shrinkage in growth and
the extra consumption of hay and grain
to help maintain some degree OF
warmth. Each II must provide the
kind of bedding that is most convenient
to his hand, but let him provide II suf-
ficient quantity of it, and let it be free
from weed seed, for many farms are
annually seeded down to weeds in the
manure that is put upon the land each
year.

either obliged to stand thus or be hung

An Insect that Sometimes Makes
Life a Burden in the Antfpodes.
On each of three visits I have made
recently to the bush I have unwitttngly
brought home with me specimens of
these pests. One was industriously
boring into the ear of my little daugh.
ter before Its presence was noticed,
and 1t had become half hidden before
the irritation which it set up led to its
being dislodged. A second fastened on
the back of the hand Of my wife and
a third fastened on my hand, and in
each cas- Inflammation had set up as
the result of the boring of the insect.
All these specimens were minute black
specimens, resembling splinters of
wood. On Saturday, after returning
from a visit to the bush, l discovered
an altogether different specimen of the
tick, which had commenced operations
upon my head and at the back of my
ear. This fellow had so firmly attached
himself to my skin that it was neces-
sary to use force to emo him. He
was of a light brown, was of the shape
and about the same size as the common
house bug, and his legs were armed
with barbs which fully accounted for
the tenacity which he possessed.

Of putting visitors, and especially chill

Settled Down at Pine Ridge.

Although the duties of wife and
motherhood much of her
time, yet she has been able to indulge
her literary tastes by the preparations
Of poems, prose sketches, etc, and to
keep in touch with the social world
and with the current literature of the
day. She la%ughingly declares that her
marriage has not been a failure. Long
before Elaine became the bride of DR..
Eastman literary people in New York
had shown their appreciation IF her
genius, not alone by reading her re-
markable productions, out by receiving
her as a welcome guest in their homes.
Society smiled upon her, but did not
spoil her: she accepted the homage
with becoming grace. and, althoush she
knew when the words had been npoken
in Ascension church that transferred
her into a bride that many of the con-
CALCULATIONS were not sincerely spoken,
che accepted them as If they had been
MS sincere as were the wishes eX-
pressed for a happy time which accom-
panied them. The honeymoon was
passed in the famous old homestead,
Sly Farm, among the Berkshire Hills,
