LO AND "BUFFALO" HORNS.

How the willy Red Man Utilities Product
Of the sIaughter-House.
The Montana Indian Is something OF
a schemer himself. He comes to town
and sometimes walks all over the place
without saying word to any one.
Sometimes he brings in few sets OF
polished mounted cows horns, which
he sells for dollar or two a set. He
never frequents saloons. He looks in
to clothing store windows, but never
bucks the slot machines in cigar
stores. He frowns as he passes a res
taurant. but smiles while walking
through the sweet-scented alleys back
of cheap boarding houses. In horse
trade he takes the prize, If there's one
to be taken, for he was never known
to get the worst of such a bargain.
The reason of this, however, may lie
in the fact that he begins the negotia-
tons with nothing to lose and every
thing to win. However. he has the
reputation of a schemer. Where his
schemes shine brightest is in the sale
of polished buffalo" horns. He lives
out near one of the slaughter houses
on the south side, and there he secures
his buffalo" horns, all sizes, curves.
and consistencies. He picks out a set
of OK horns of symmetrical proper
tions, scrapes the scales off, and boils
l'the horn in a solution of glycerin, wood
ashes and water. The treatment sof-
tens the horn, so that a caseknife will
easily remove all the exterior accumu-
lation. Then fine sandpaper is used to
give the first polish, followed by a
thorough rubbing with a flannel cloth
slightly saturated with oil. A varnish
or shellac is then applied, and the
horns are in condition for mounting.
| Then the work is turned over to the
squaw, who does the really artistic
work. Red flannel and braid, beads
sometimes, and strip here and there
of buckskin, a few brass-headed lacks,
and the mounted buffalo" horns are
ready for the market. Mr.. Buck comes
to town, and the tenderfoot asks him
where he "ketchem buffalo horns" IN
Yellowstone park" grunts the big
buck. How much?" asks the intend
ing purchaser. Two dolls" TOO
muchee." mo, no: cheap; thue dolls,
ugh" The tenderfoot inspects the work
and satisfies himself that they are
really the horns of an almost extinct
species of the majestic western animal,
and ne hands over the coin and walks
away nroudly with his nrizn The In

the first corner, and disappears up an

An Irishman arriving in Cincinnati
one night found it impossible to get a
bed to himself, but was permitted to
share one which had been engaged by
q. barber. Pat noted that his bedfel-
low was very bald and proceeded to
chat him. This the barber endured
in silence, but when Pat had fallen
into a heavy slumber the other man
got no and shaved every hair of his
tormertor's head. The lrlshman hav-
ing long tramp before him on the
morrow, had left instructions that he
be called very early, and, it being still
dark whea he rose, he did not notice
the loss of his hair. When some dis
lance on his way, however, he felt
thirsty, and, coming to spring, took
off his hat and bent down to drink.
Seeing the reflection of his bald head
in the water, he sprang back aghast.
BE jabers." he exclaimed wrathfully,
they've called the wrong man."

AvOIDABLE ACCIDENTS.


CareIessness
There Is no saying truer than that
familiarity breeds contempt, says an
example, men who handle high ex-
plosives. When they first go on the
work they handle the explosive tender
ly and gingerly, but with the constant
handling Of the dangerous compounds
they grow careless, and dangerous and
deadly explosions are frequently the
result. We had bad accident at one
time. and in order to clear the tracks
il was necessary to dynamite the
wreck. On the wrecking train the
dynamite was in one box on a fiat-car,
with the caps in another, while a third
box was provided in which to place
the dynamite cartridges when capped
and ready for use. The two men in
charge of the dynamite, as the wreck
ing train neared the scene OF the acct
dent, began to make ready the ex-
plosive. One man affixed the cap to
the cartridge, and then tossed 1t to his
companion, some seven or eight feet
away, who caught and laid 1t in the
box We never knew exactly what
happened. Either one man missed his
catch or the other dropped cartridge
in Gaping, but the car. dynamite and
men were wiped out Of existence; a
large hole where the car and tracks
had been marked the scene of that

In Her Arms
Once More.

Come on the shore, auntie. The
tide is racing in, and there are such
big waves"
Constance Maynard put down her
sunshade and looked out over the gilt
tering ocean, then at the rosy, sun
burnt face Of her 6-year-old nephew
OF all Margarets children Laddie was
her favorite; but her seat was exceed
ingly uncomfortable, the shingles very
rough, so she temporized.

Il don't like waiting" said the child
disconsolately, repeating what many
Older and wiser people would say had
not the lesson of time taught them its
uselessness.
And would not go near the break
water" he pleaded.
He had planted his elbows firmly on
her lap, his blue eyes were fixed visit
fully on her face, and she could neve:
resist Laddie long. So after repeated
promises she let him go and sat
watching him with the faint hope that
he would not spoil his garments and
get her into disgrace with nurse. The
little fellows words kept repeating
themselves in her ears: Il don't like
waiting" No one liked it, she thought,
with sigh, and yet for wears her life
seemed to be all waiting-waiting.
She was nearly 80 years of age, this
pretty creature. whose fair, blooming
face spoke Of perfect health, whose
soft eyes lad a pathetic expression in
them, as of one who had suffered. 1t
was long since she had quarreled for
the last time with Rupert Laird, and
he had gone away-so long that ev-
cry one seemed to have forgotten him
but herself, and Margaret had been
quite angry when she had refused sew
eral offers of marriage and declared
her intention of remaining "auntie" to
the children for the rest of her days.

sold his prunes and plums in the Chi
cago market at 81 per crate of twenty
five pounds. The freight rate is 81 per
100 pounds. He shipped silver prunes
to London. where they sold at $3.50
per crate, after paying the freight, but
these were choice fruit. At home in
Idaho good apples, free from worms,
sold last fall at 81 per box of sixty
pounds. Such returns as these are a
little better than picking, packing and
shipping fruit for the benefit of the
railroads, without any return to the
producer. The cause of this difference
in prices is due to the policy of the
present administration, which has Gre
ated business activity throughout the
country. thus assuring better demand
for all farm products.
LET me give you another instance
or two of how the farmers have bene-
fitted in Idaho. During the winter of
1869 hay sold in our state at $3.50
per ton. This year hay has sold at IS
per ton. The improvement in the value
of sheep and wool has already been
referred to by me, but | may point out
that the sheepmen have abandoned the
old plan Of allowing their sheep to sub
sist upon the winter ranges. A few
years ago sheep were not worth caring
for. They are now valuable, and the
wool produced bring good returns, so
that farmers feed hay to their sheep
in winter, thereby increasing the guam
tity and improving the quality of their
wool. One farmer writes me that in
the fall of 1896 he sold several hun
dred head of hogs at cents per pound.
Within the last few months he has
sold similar hogs to the same party at
A.! cents per pound. The value OF cat
tie has increased in the same proper
ton.
Idaho is far more prosperous today
than it has ever been. There is good
demand for the products of our mines,
and with better prices. The state Is
full OF prosperity, the whole commu-
nifty is satisfied, and we are going to
give our electoral vote to President
Mckinley"

How Would You Have said IT,,

There is much in the way a thing is
said. "Your cheeks are like roses"
said Aunt Flora, when Lois came In
from January walk, glowing from
the cold and exercise. Lois smiled and
looked lovingly at Aunt Flora. Aunt
Margaret entered the room a minute
later, and, glancing at Lois as she
stood by the fire, said: my! Your face
is as red as bee" The red grew
deeper in Lois face, while unconscious
ly she turned petulantly from Aunt
Margaret, who prides herself on being
plain spoken" Aunt Flora's way is
best She can say the right word at
the right time, too; even the word of
admonition and reproof, but she says
it in such a manner that one can think
only Of the scriptural apples OF gold
in pictures Of silver."-Woman's Home
Companion.

storm came the little child was very
much frightened and in the night
rushed out OF the cabin and said,
Where is father. where is father?"
Then they told her. Father is on
deck, guiding the vessel and watching
the storm" The little child imme-
diately returned to her berth and said.
Its all right, for fathers on deck!"
Oh, We who are tossed and driven in
this world. up by the mountains and
down by the valleys, and at your wits
end, want you to know the Lord God
is guiding the ship. Your Father is on
deck. He will bring you through the
darkness into the harbor. Trust in the
Lord. Go and tell Jesus.
On the Upward Path.
II you go to him for pardon and
sympathy, all Is well. Everything
will brighten up, and Joy will come to
the heart and sorrow will depart; your
sins will be forgiven and your foot
will touch the upward path. and the
shining messengers that report above
what is done here will tell it until the
great arches of God resound with the
glad tidings, IL now, with contrition
and full trustfulness Of soul, you will
only go and tell Jesus.
But l am oppressed as l think OF
those who may not take this counsel
and may remain unblessed. | cannot
help asking what will be the destiny
OF these people? Xerxes looked OF on
his army There were 100000 men
perhaps the finest army ever marshall
ed. Xerxes rode along the lines, re-
viewed them, came back, stood on
some high point, looked off upon tha
100000 men and burst into tears. At
that moment, when every one sup
posed he would be in the greatest exul-
tation, he broke down in grief They
asked him why he wept. All" he
said, Il weep at the thought so soon
all this host will be dead" So l
think of these vast populations Of i'm
mortal men and women and realize the
fact that soon the places which know
them now will know them no more.
and they will be gone-whither?
whittier? There is stirring idea
which the poet put in very peculiar
verse when he said:
TITS not for man to trlfie; life is
brief,
And sin is here;
Our age is but the falling OF leaf.
A dropping tear.
Not many lives, but only one have
We
One, only one;
How sacred should that one life ever
be
That narrow span!"

Resolved, That our title to the
whole of the territory of Oregon is
clear and unquestionable; that no DOR
