THE ATHLETIC GIRL.

Here you see the athletic new woman,
Who wears bloomers and wheels through the LAM
She can carry gun the hillside.
And aims to have backbone and "sand."
About freckles and sunburns she's careless,
But her muscles her pride and her Joy;
She can run, row and swim with her brother,
Who declares she's as good as boy.
There's place in the world for her muscle,
Let her be Just strong as she can;
If she will only smile like woman
And make sunshine life for some man.

The East Indian Famine

The eyes of the humanitarian world
are turned towards India, whence come
reports that the horrible visitation of
1878 Is upon that country again. In
that famine it is estimated that 5000, 600
people persisted in a single wear. The
British government expended upwards Of
$3O,O0O,0O0 for relief, and YET. the death
havoc swept away more than oDe-third
Of the whole population ofssthe affected
region, whose population exceeded 20,-
100000. Besides the help of the empire,
the natives themselves imported vast
quantities of food. The famine was the
result of practical failure Of three sue
cessive crops, and It has always been un-
dc rstood that the outside world was slow
in approaching the situation. At the
same time it has always been believed
that the British work of relief did not
fully inform the world Of the extent Of
the disaster. That relief was under the
direction Of Sir William Temple, and the
dreadful experiences Of the time have
beenstold IN song and story. Reg ardless
of tabled wealth, magic and oriental
splendor, India is the land of devasta-
ton, famine and death, land even in years

Great Falls, May 5.-The Leader of

committed an assault upon two little
Indian school girls in the Shoshone
reservation a week ago. The children

and the daughters of sub-chief named
Lock Neck. The children were left
lying in helpless condition on the
prairie and were not found for several
hours. The younger one is not expect

most dastardly ever recorded in the
criminal annals of the department, and
no stone will be left unturned to bring
the guilty wretches to justice. They

arrived on Friday or Saturday last,

The story of the crime is that on

returning from school. 1t was about 5

on the way picking flowers They sat
down TO arrange their flowers on

children became frightened at the way
the men were handling them and be-

but half a mile away and, to keen

gravel was thrust into their mouths.
They were then dragged to a small

was made.
