To He Opened to settlement.

The unallotted lands of the eastern end
Of the southern Ute Indian reservation In
southwest Colorado will probably be opened
to settlement this summer by presidential
proclamation. Though the allotments have
teen completed. the question of opening
has been deferred fora long time, owing to
what seeems to be conceded to be grave
error in fixing the 10th meridian of longi-
tude It Is believed by the authorities that
the meridian Is about five miles too far
west, dnd the variance of lines involves
about 5000 acres. which may inure to the
benefit of the Indians.

street car no makes it point not to
look ut the conductor Ii often saves car
fare, for there is something about
Stubs that makes him lucky enough to
bo overlooked two cases in ten when no
boards loaded car.
One morning ho was absorbed in his
paper, and when no felt touch on his
arm he mechanically passed out his
nickel and went on with his reading
Lator tho conductor stood beside him
and murmured, Fare. please, but
received no attention. Stubbs had paid
his fare. Then tho abominablo nuisance
of u conductor seized him by the shout
der and held out his hand. saying stern
ly, Fare. please. "
IL paid you before, said Stubs as
affably us he could
No. you did not Come, pass out
car fare "
Man, paid my fare when you were
around before. And Stubs thought for
an adjective he might use when there
were ladies about. "You-you-infer
nal-idiot, you arc drunk or asleep, for
when you touched mo on tho arm !
passed out nickel, and you must have
taken it. for it was tho only ono had. 4"
fumbling in his change pocket.
With red face tho conductor rang
the bell to stop the car, roaring, "You
will have to pay your fare or get off
tho car" in tone that startled every
one Il did not get your nickel. and
you know it.
At that minute tho man who had
nudged Stubs TO move over in tho seat
no had occupied with him dropped of
the car and walked the other block to
his Office
Tho next timo Stubs rode in a
crowded car he gently touched the arm
of AN acquaintance and got even for the
cents no had lost and for tho chagrin
he had suffered. -Chioago News.

once to san Francisco.
I'm going TO see my friend Mar
tin, " he told the boys. Now, tend to
business and don't let any get away, "
And the boys gave their word that not
one should escape.
During Whalen's absence in the city
he went out of the sheep business oven
more abruptly than he went into it the
previous autumn. Tho instruction to the
boys was fulfilled to the letter Not any
got away.
1t happened on hot day i'll June
when, contrary to the usual custom, the
boys brought the flock to camp and the
shade of sheds Mt noontime. 1t never
rains in that arid region, but sometimes
poms. This was ono of those times,
Charged with ice and water, great
black cloud came drifting down tho
wind and omptied out its load upon the
camp and the hillside above it, The
canal curying around its base, formed
an cave trough for the whole mountain
and poured several thousand inches of
water into Whalen's improyised sheep
sheds. The flood very soon subsidized,
but when the cloud had passed and the
sun again shone forth there were no
| living sheep. Not many minutes are
required to drown rat i'll hole
Meanwhile the boys, greatly fright
ened by the sudden ctorm and with no
thought for the safety of the flock, were
in the shack. The hail pounded and the
wind shook it. Water covered the floor
pray, Billy, said the one on the
barrel
mo; you do it,. he answered from
the table tep.
The shack had no window, and with
| the door closed it was pretty dark in
there When Whnlen reached homo two
hours later the floor was still wet and
| the boys We've yet roosting on table and
! barrel, hut outside, i'll tho bright sun
! light, the ground appeared already Ill
most dry y solitary goat stood upon
the shed reef lie had been among tho
sheep III the pm.
" You can keep good man down
any more than you can goat, " was
Briek s comment ON the catastrophe
While Whalen was working tho boys
double time Mt pulling tho wool from
the dead sheep he had tho happy
thought of stocking his ranch with
bees Having money enough from the
proceeds of his wool salo to buy 100
stands, he promptly carried the thought
into effect
Again he sat down in the door of his
shaol, TO double his money. "
This is better than sheep, said he.
'for they herds themselves And they
are like mules i'll ono thing-you are
liable to get hurt If you fool with 'om. "
This wave of prosperity broke up as
soon rs former ones had done, for no
had imported bad case of foul brood,
and within II year the hundred swarms
had petered out When we went down
there last summer in the interest of II
new company which has taken up the
work of completing the canal. Whalen
| gathered the homes out of the old shed
| in the cut and hauled them to the rail
road, where he sold them for fertilizer,
realizing enough to buy two moro mules
! With his four mule team he is mt work
in tho ditch for day S wages Somewhat
| grizzled now, and not so brick red of
hafr and whisker us formerly, he is
| happy as ever and snnguine that he will
double his money
Here's hoping" that he may.-G.

THE CRATER OF RAINIER.
Experiences of IA Night ON tho Summit
tho WeIrd Mountain.

Experiences OF Night ON tho Summit OF
the Weird Mountain.
Throwing off tho lifo limo. which had
become almost an intolerablo burden, |
scaled the pilo of bare rocks and gained
the rim of the crater. Tho great bowl
within was deeply filled with snow. but
the black circle forming its rim could
be distinctly traced. Descending tho in
ner Slope for about 100 feet, | found a
place whore steam was issuing from n
orevioo i'll tho rocks and warmed my
bonumbcd fingers. Soon my companions
joined me, and we took refuge In ono
of tho many eaverns that tho heat of
the rocks and of tho escaping steam
had melted in tho lower portion of tho
snow and ice partially filling tho crater.
In these weird caverns one may descend
far beyond the light of day, The white
vapors drifting silently through the
dimly lighted passages assume grotesque
shapes and suggest TO tho imaginative
visitor that spirits of tho timo when
Pluto reign was supreme there make
their homes.
BY melting snow in our tin cups over
tho cracks from which steam was issu-
ing we soon had water enough with
which to prepare tea. In tho absence of
sugar and cream little alcohol from
the supply brought for fuel was added
to each cup and proved welcome
stimulant- Making ourselves as COM
Portable as possible under tho oircum-
stances. we passed tho night in tho cav
ern of ice. There were no lodges broad
enough to lilo down on, and we were
forced to stand or crouch against tho
hot rocks all night The floor of our
cavern sloped steeply and led down to
an ugly opening of unknown depth bo-
tween tho descending roof of ice and
the rocks. TO guard against accidents.
the life line was stretched across the
cavern and made fast to oraga This
proved wise precaution, as we were
able during the night to walk up and
down with the rope in our hands and
avoid tho stiffness and discomfort that
come from remaining long in ono posi-
ton. Israel @. Russell III Seribner's.
