Then Jonessy went one way ana
Polly went the other, each n pussy
with many thoughts.
That evening Mrs. Jonessy asked her
husband how many fees the new office
had brought him.

the fees will come in after awhile"

May get married." she said, laughing.
Jonessy had accomplished something
that day. He had set Joe and Polly
thinking about each other. Joe's long,
lantern-jawed face, usually sober and
solemn, had relaxed into smiles several
times, and once he had actually caught
himself humming an old song that had
lain forgotten for years within him. On
the other hand. Polly's round and rosy
face, that al supposed to wear q smile
even In sleep, was very thoughtful and
sad. And while bending above the
steam from the fragrant teapot, at the
supper table, her eyes seemed filled
with unShed tears.
"Poor Joe" she sighed, as she sat
down to her lonely meal. Il thought
sure that he would get over it and mar
ry some n else, but it seems that he
doesn't al any more than I do for
anybody, and both of us just persist in
being wrong, when only a word from
either Of us would make things so diff
~ferent."
Just then q cat came in at the open
door, and when Polly saw that 1t
limped slightly on one leg she sprang
up from the table and caught it in her
arms.
"Poor Kitty" she murmured. 81 won

said,
Polly eyed her visitor closely for q
moment, and seeing that his eyes were
upon her supper table instead Of upon
herself, the hard lines that had come
around her lips relaxed into a smile.
"Come in, Joe" she said, gently.
"Wfll you take a cup of tea with me?"
Then you amt mad because I Grip

a THRIFTY INDIAN GIRL.
Marrying Her Was a Most Excellent
Investment.

1nVeSCIneuLs
In 1892 the ~Seger7 school was built
IN Oklahoma Territory, among n col
ony of Cheyennes and Arapahoes, con-
sidered among the widest, most back
ward and nonprogressive of all In
dams, n y the Omaha Bee Forum
ately the superintendent OF the new
school, Mrs. John Seger, had already
gained their confidence in another ca
pacity, SO that when they were asked
to put their children In school they
said that they would, as o as they
were weaned. And they carried this
out literally.
One of the girl pupils, who entered
the school when 1t was opened, has had
quite a remarkable record. Having
no previous education and leaving her
really savage home for the first time,
she has demonstrated what education
Is doing and will do for the red man.
There is a system tn nearly all the gov
eminent Indian schools by which
those pupils who ore both Industrious
and frugal may earn money in the
sewing room, on the farm or tn some
n Of the schools other industrial de-
partments. Of course, this must be
outside Of their regular work. This
young girl after taking q regular
course as a scholar, was Judged capa-
BILE of filling a salaried position In
the course of a short time she filed not
n but several and worked IN the
sewtng-room besides Out of her saw
ings she bought a wagon, harness,
team, organ, bedroom set and o sew
ing machine, all in view of her pros
pective marriage to O young Indian to
whom she was engaged. and when they
were married she took enough savings
with her to build a neat home. All
this was accomplished in three years

huge basket on her arm.
How do you do, Judge?" she cried,
cheerily, letting her basket down to the
ground. 81 was real glad to hear that
you was elected"
Thank you, Polly. vas Just think
ing about you when you bobbed up"
said ~Jonessy. "Havo Just been over to
see your neighbor, Joe Peterman, and
was on my way home with my thoughts
full of both of YOU"
Polly frowned.
Joe isn't going to have me to court,
Is heT" she asked.
Cant say, Polly. I reckon that de-
ponds as much on you as on him"
well, he had no business coming in
through the window like he did" Polly
cried. 1T served him only right that
the window fell down on him like it
did and caught him by the leg. Of
course, when I grabbed him by the
throat to keep him from squalling, and
he cut me on the wrist, I was mad
enough to kill him. But I kept my tenn
per, and I didn't hurt him any moro
thnn l could help" she protested
But Joe didn't" Jonessy began.
%Of course Joe didn't. Joe never
would listen to reason" cried Polly.
"But, Polly, Joe" Jonessy began
again.

THE MISSOURI is DRY.
Dam at Helena Exposes the Rive
Bed Below the Obstruction.

Helena, Mont, Feb. 1O.-For the first
time in history the upper Missouri riv-
er, or that part of 1t below Canyon fer
ry, is dry.
The incompleted portion of the dam
being built by the Helena Water and
Electric Power company, seventeen
miles north Of Helena, was closed yes
terday, and although the river at that
point runs more than 1000 cubic feet
per second according to government
surveys, it viii take the river two days
to rise the five feet now remaining be
fore it will flow over the dam
A lake is being formed by the back
waters of the dam which extends seven
miles up the river and covers six
square miles of territory. In the mean
time the river below the dam is practic-
ally dry, a child being able to ford it
without danger.
Men are prospecting in the river bed
for gold, while others have taken out
large catches of trout and other fish
that had been caught in the pools
formed in the river bed. The dam is
thirty feet high and has been built at
a cost of $3.50, 600. In a few weeks it will
be furnishing electrical power to this
city.

Columbus, O., Feb. 10-A bill will be

county to enable H. Sheeler, Chicago
man, to lift the state house and build
one story under it.
Mr.. SheeIer says he raised a theater,
the B. & o. freight house and Bap-
fist church in Chicago in this way. The
bill to be introduced will provide that
he be paid $500, 600 for the work.
The present capitol is inadequate to
the needs of the various state depart

Plans have been adopted to this end,
but the great expense that would be
entailed has aroused opposition to the
plans.
1t is estimated there are many hun
dreds of thousands of tons of stone in
the structure. Mr.. Sheeler proposes to
raise this without disturbing a single
occupant of the building. He says the
work will be completed in about three
