stakes, one little higher than the other,
so that they stretched across the trail,
one about knee high to a man and the
other as high as his hip. This done, Big
Foot lay fiat on his belly close beside the

Origin Of the Phrase ITO Eat Grow.

The following is given as the origin of
the saying ITO eat crow: During the
Civil war, or shortly after it's close,
United States soldier shot a tame crow,
the owner of which came upon him be-
fore he had time to reload his piece, and
compelled him to eat a mouthful OF the
bird. This satisfied the owner of the
bird, who walked away, but before he
had gone a great distance he was ever
hauled by the soldier who had loaded ND
again, and compelled him to return and
eat mouthful or two Of the crow. Tire
owner the next day complained at the
post The commander sent for the sol
der complained of and asked him: 'Do
you know this gentleman? The soldier
drawled out: 'Ya-as; we dined together
yesterday" In every day conversation
to eat crow is understood to mean that
an individual takes back all he previous

bunch, and was moving them slowly on a
long tack to windward, when, taking
sudden alarm at nothing as sheep do, the
leaders turned; the whole pack swerved
to the west. and then went squarely be-
fore the wind in terrified rout. The
herdsman would have stopped them. but
plunging down a steep hill his pony went
into hole. throwing him so heavily that
he lay for a few moments recounting his
sins, as men do when their heels have
kicked at Heaven and their heads are in
state of uncertainty. When he arose
the pack was out of sight, and he hurried
away for help.
Big Foot FAY by the Rosebud trail like
a log, half covered with snow, until
he thought he heard the shrek of that
long lash, when he raised his head eau
tiously. Then, with a jerk, he got his
gun in position. The reindeer were COM
ing-there must be thousands of them
he could hear the roar of their b. ifs on
the snow. Here they are. He started
to rise in terror, but too late. The sheep
pack, which was following the trail,
came over the ridge and down on the
ropes like an avalanche, the leaders fall
ing. Before Big Foot could get to his
knees he was buried under the pack
with tons Of dying sheep piled on him.

The Autumn Leaf Industry.

The much-admired effect at a dinner
last week of a cluster of hawthorn ber-
ries thrust with a bunch of laurel into a
cream and gold jar suggests that these
country products are well worth the at
tention of suburban women who wish to
add to their incomes. In London autumn
leaves are sold in the streets and find
ready buyers for table decorations The
many beautiful vines, leaves and berries
that make up the glory of the late au-
tumn and early winter woods have a
commercial value to city hostesses They
are supplied, of course, in limited and
expensive fashion, by the florists, but
there is undoubtedly room for much
more extended traffic in them.-Wash-

from death yesterday. He was stoning

down to a depth of thirty-two feet. He
started to move piece of the curbing,
when the earth on one side of the well
gave way and forced the stone on all
sides in. Mr.. Schultz was buried be-

saved his life

fourteen hours later when Schultz was
taken out, more dead than alive. He
was nearly exhausted, but soon recovered
and is none the worse FOR his experience.
