mence and force.
The "Friendlies" were denounced for
forsaking the way of their forefathers,
and warned that if they persisted in
their unMolii-like conduct they would
be cast out from their fellows, com
PEELED to abandon their homes, leave
their cornfields and establish them
selves afresh in some PARKWAY country,
like Mexico. The "Friendlies," feeling
that the United States government
would support them in the position
which they had taken, refused to re-
Ede, and the result was open hostilities
vera immediately declared The
"FrIendlies" were driven from their
homes, and bands of "Hostiles" began
to take possession of their cornfields,
peach orchards and gardens. This
could not be tolerated for a moment, so

FOLDING PIAZZA COUCH.
A Convenience for LOunEinS or Sleep
Ing in Open Air During the
Warm Weather.

For the summer piazza one of the
most convenient pieces OF furniture is
a folding couch that can be raised up
and fastened to the side of the house
somewhat similar to mantel folding

The illustration shows such couch
that is attached to the weather boards
of the house at the inner side, by means
of large strap hinges, while the outer
edge is supported on legs fastened to
the under side of the woodwork.
An old hair mattress can be employed
as the topping, and it should be laid
on the platform and held down by
means of denim, which is drawn down
all around the edges and tackled secure

Here we have very dogmatic asser-
t .loh OF the wisdom of the serpent. and
throughout the story this is freonentlv
repeated. Having told the serpent the
story OF MS shipwreck the latter treat
ed MIN kindly, and explained tn him
Ina. mat IL was God who has spared thy
me- II Is He who brought thee to the
Isle OF the Double (ka), where nothing
- iachins ana which Is filled with all
soou things. He then informed the
author that the population consisted of
,se'ehty-nVe serpents, all of one fam
n.y. II also once comprised young girl

siri must have been the Yamba of this

Will pluck birds for thee"-forns of
typhonic sacrifice offered to serpents-
land l will send vessels to thee filled
with all the riches of Egypt, meet fer
god the friend of man in a distant
country unknown to man.
The monster smiled" probably sar-
castically, and replied: What is the
use of sending presents to one who is
the ruler of Punait, the holy land of
gold and incense?" The serpent then
informs him of his coming release
saying Here thou shalt pass one
month after another until thou hast re-
manned four months in the island; then
shall come vessel from thy country;
then thou canst depart and thou shalt
die in thy city," The author adopted
the somewhat modern exoedient CT
climbing tree and looking for the ship
which came at the time the all wise
serpent foretold. The farewell was
most affecting, the kindly serpent thus
addressing the hero: "A pleasant Jour
ney to thee, little one; mayst thou be-
hold thy children and may thy name be
well spoken of in thy town." No doubt
the hero became the lion of the Theban
season, and perhaps discoursed before
the Egyptian association" of the per-
iod and lectured in the principal towns
of Nile land. The serpent informs him
that it would take him two months to
reach his own home and that on his de-
parture the island would disappear and
"be changed into waves"
No doubt the early Egyptian voyag
ers had penetrated far up the Nile, GER
tainly as far as Berber-and tales of the
great island sea reached them from
the natives. In remote times vast
lake of the size of the Victoria Nyanza
once covered the marshy plain where
the Bahr-el-Abiad unites with the So
bat and Bahr-el- Ghazal. Covered with
masses of floating vegetation ever
changing their position and decaying
away, the mystic islands of the
shades may have had a real ex.stnnse.
The period of two months would be
about the time required for the up
river voyage, so after all the region of
Khartoum and Fashoda may be the
scene of the ventures of this ancient
Egyptian De Rougemont, whose story
will certainly outlast the more recent
adventures of shipwrecked mariner.

Tho Indian Population.

From the Rochester Post-Express.
The popular belief that the Indians
are a doomed race and that they are
rapidly dying off is not substantiated
by the figures of the special Indian cen
sus that forms a part of the last gen
eral census. This census gives the In
dian population as 5,464, of whom,
however. only 19S,447 are returned as
full-blooded Indians, the remainder be-
ing those who are in various ways af-
filiated with the whites
The Indians of to-day are in narrower
quarters than were their ancestors, but
they are almost as strong numerically
as they We're half a century ago. In 1889
the secretary estimated the Indian pop
ulation as 10000, and in the following
year Gilbert Inlay reduced the esti-
mate to 10000, but both of these esti-
mates were doubtless far from accurate.
In 1850 Schoolcraft reported the Indian
population to be 3SS 229, which is only
81, l65 above the figures of the last gen.
eral census counting the mixed bloods.
These Indians are divided into nearly
80 tribes that are recognized by the laws
of the United States, and they are di-
vided numerically among 80 states and
two territories. One can feel thrill of
admiration at the vitality of a race that
has weathered so well a century of ad-
VerSity.

No Lawyer Desired.

~ ROBABLY no professional man
is less fitted to fill the Office
of mayor of Butte than a law
yer. This is owing to the fact that it
ss required of the mayor that he shall
be at the city hall five hours of each
day. 1t is necessary that he should
Abe there during the hours when court
is in session, so that if he performs
3ls duties as mayor it would be neces-
sary for him to abandon his law prac-
tice.
A good lawyer could not afford to
abandon his law practice to take the
office of mayor, which only pays two
Thousand dollars per year. The prac-
Hice of a good lawyer in Butte brings
in a larger revenue than that. A poor
lawyer could afford to surrender his
practice for the office of mayor but it
may well be doubted if a poor lawyer
would make a good mayor,
Mr.. Mccarthy has been identified with
Butte for nearly a quarter of a CEN
hurry. He knows the city and its peo-
ple, and is known by them. They have
every confidence in him. He is a splen-
did business man and will give the
city of Butte the benefit of his bust
ness ability. He is the man for mayor
of Butte.
