F. R. Spearman writes Of ,"Queer
American Rivers" in St. Nicholas Mr..
Spearman says:
With all its other eccentricities, the
Missouri River leaks badly; for you
know there are leaky rivers as we'll as
leaky boats. The government en-
gineers once measured the flow Of the
Missouri away up in Montana, and
again some hundred miles further
found that the Missouri, instead of
growing bigger down stream, as every
rational river should, was actually
10000 second-feet smalled at the lower
point.
Now, while 10000 second-feet could
be spared from such a tremendous
river, that amount of water makes a
considerable stream of itself. Many
very celebrated rivers never had so
much water in their lives. Hence
there was great amazement when the
discrepancy was discovered. But Of
late years Dakota farmers away to the
south and east of those points on the
Missouri, sinking artesian wells, found
immense volumes Of water where the
biologists said there wouldn't be any.
So it is believed that the farmers have
tapped the water leaking from that
big hole in the Missouri River away up
in Montana; and from these wells they
irrigate large tracts of land, and, natu-
rally, they don't want the river-bed
mended. Fancy what a blessing it is,
when the weather is dry, to have a
river boiling out of your we'll, ready to
flow where you want it over the wheat
fields! For Of all manner Of work that
a river can be put to, irrigation is, |
think, the most useful. But isn't that
queer way for the Missouri to wan
der about underneath the ground?

which to cover his eyes, and glanced
calmly, even smilingly. at the glitter

"Fire!" shouted the Spanish ser
geant. The nine explosions were as
one, and as the smoke cleared away
the sergeant stepped forward, expect

study the more they learn; to go to bed

CHEAP SEWING MACHINES.
Trick Two SharperS Played on the Guile1sss
Sioux and Chicago White Mon.


Trick Two sharperr Played on the Guileisss
Sioux and Chicago White Mon.
Two months ago two young men,
giving the names Of Paul Ray and
John D. Jones. of Chicago, went to
Rushville, Neb., as agents for a we'll
known sewing machine company. They
were apparently selling a high-grade
machine for $40. They declared that
this was an exclusive offer made to
the Sioux Indians and would not ap-
ply to the whites. They explained
that the scheme was promoted by re-
ligious society in the East, which was
paying the difference between the
manufacturers cost and the price de-
manded Of the Indians for the ma.
chine.
One hundred and sixty fine sewing
machines were sold by the enterpris-
ing swindlers. For each machine $40
was collected. Now a collector of the
company has arrived to investigate
the situation. He has 100 leases for as
many machines, on each Of which $40
has been credited as first payment.
Fifty dollars is still due on each.
The swindle was very smooth one.
In each instance the Indian purchasers
were required to sign testimonial" In
order that the religious society might
have evidence that the machines had
been placed according to the sales
mems statement. These testimonials
now prove to be the leases which the
investigating agent is looking up. They
are the regulation leases that go with
all machines throughout the country
where they are purchased on time. No
title is vested in the holder of the
machine under this form of lease. The
Indians who secured machines under
the deal merely rented them, signing
contract with the company by which
they were to secure full title whenever
the money paid in rent, from month to
month, equalled the full selling price
of the machine. Now the agent has
the worst contract Of his life trying to
explain the situation and secure the
return of the machines. Under the
company's rules the fist $40 collected
on the sale of time" machine always
goes to the selling agent, SO the head
quarters agent shipped the whole car
load of machines, the young swindlers
delivered them, collected their $40 on
each machine, and Immediately disap-
peared.

Where Corruption FIourishes.


Walter Wellman, the famous cor
respondent, has shown in the Chicago
Times Herald the true source of the
deficit in the postal department, which
Congressman Loud recently sought to
make up by increased charges on second
class matter. The trouble is in the
enormous increase in the amount paid
railways for mail transportation-no
only absolutely, but relatively-in cost
per mile. Mr.. Welman gives figures
showing the rapidity with which this
burden is increasing. Since 1880 the
item of transportation has increased fr' III
IS, 200, 600 to S27, ,055, 900. He than goes
to show how the railroad companies
steal a good share of this money. Once
in four years the government attempts to
obtain the average number of pounds
carried daily, and uses this as basis of
settlement. At such times the railroads
send thousands of tons of dummy mail
over their lines. They send their al
nual supplies at this time, and in
hundred ways swell the average" An
original expense of $1,000 in this way
netted one road S233,0O0 After ex
planning several such schemes, Mr..
Wellman continues:
Mr. Armour, or the Standard Oil
Company, or Others of the big shippers
own their own cars. They pay the
roads for hauling them, and get draw
back paid by the roads for the use of
their cars. But Uncle Sam rents h
cars from tho railroads, and pays for
the hauling of them besides. A first
class railroad postofice car, sixty feet
long, the finest built, costs Il maximum
of $4,000 to construct. For this the
United States pays $50 per mile per
annum rental in addition to the rate per
pound of the mails. Such car running
between Chicago and New York for a
year earns in rentals alone nearly
S25, 5,000 And it cost only $1,000 to
build"
Considering the effective support given
by the railroads to the present admins
tration in the campaign resulting in its
selection, can any one hope that it will

Comparing the crookedness everywhere
developing where private corporation S
performing public services come into
contract with public officers, with the
honesty and efficiency manifested in the
departments of the postal system direct

argument against government ownership
