Going Out on a Risky Errand.

A government Indian agent VINO has
seen years Of service tells some stories
about Indians. Here is one: "a ranch
near the town of Beaver, in Utah, was
attacked by Indians, and one man who
was visiting the ranchman's family
was killed. The house was surround
ed by the Indians, and the people with
in defended themselves as best they
conld; but the ranchman, watching his
opportunity, lowered his little boy and
daughter, aged eight and II, from
the back window, and told them to try
to make their way to the canyon and
follow it down to Beaver, where they
could obtain help. The two children
succeeded in reaching the canyon unob-
served, and with rare presence of mind
the boy told his sister to follow down
one side Of the canyon and he would fol
low the other, so that in case the In
dams should find one Of them the other
might not be observed. The children
succeeded in reaching Beaver, where a
relief party was organized, which
fastened to the rescue of the besieged
party. At the beginning of the siege
the Indians had heard the children in
the house, and missing their voices,
the alert savages discovered that they
had gone, and endeavored to oYertake
them, but being unsuccessful, and
knowing that help would soon arrive,
withdrew before the rescuers could
reach the ranch, "-Harper's Round

Times were never harder, and Judge
Henry N. GoIdfogle, Of the Fifth judi

themselves without food or shelter.

lords be it said have generally been
successful. The statistics I have com
piled show that the greatest suffering

''The statute is imperative and man

they at present exist such matters
must be governed by the principles Of
humanity.
when business is good and money is
plentiful the landlord obtains a steady
and usually profitable revenue. His
rental income is generally sure from

to want Of employment, the tenant
cannot pay his rent promptly, and be
willing to bear with his unfortunate
