fhe more serious pursuits of his elders, and a youngster seen rolling "stone alleys" at time which should be devoted to shop-scotch" would be as truly regarded as ''slack" or shift less'' as the mother who postponed making over last years dresses and "lengthening the girls last summers skirts" until house-cleaning time. The latter period is too narrowing for de- scription in words, even the very forci- bly, local phrases. To one who is par tial to New England, it would seem that in many published accounts the vernacular has been very much abused. It is true that as many vary ing tales may be told of the speech of the New England people as of the eli mate of California, and equally true that all may be correct, yet it is safe 10 say that nowhere else in the Unit cd States, among the same number of people, can so much genuine education be found. Our farmers, many of them very poor, manage to keep well in formed on the general topics of the day. Their books and papers are freely loaned. Nearly every family
 
 tries to send one or more boys to col lege, while the girls at home study hard to keep up with their brothers. Many of the palmer people who are. apparently, most careless in their speech, know perfectly well how to use correct language, but are like David Harum in some respects, or he is like them. David would have made an excellent New Englander.
 The people are absolutely inde- pendent in their methods of thought aud the forceful terms which they have inherited, as we'll as their rocky estates, are so much matter of cus- tum that they seldom think of criticis- ing them, for among all the inhabit- ants of the earth there are none with whom habit is more controlling force. It is often hard to tell whether their strong ideas of right and wrong are a matter of principle or usage. In tegrity seems to be a general charac- feristic, unless-well, of course, when it comes to a "hoss'' trade or "swap- pin" knives or any transaction of that tHnd-why, custom arranges that, too. Speakingof custom: A well-to-do farmer, i. e., one worth several thou sands of dollars, sold his "hoss and fxinss" when about 20 miles from home, and started to "foot" it to his house, where he had been "born and raised" Some one offered him tick ct (as a railroad was one of the latest

 for cycling. Despite the grad
 ual falling off in the member ship of the League of American Wheelmen and the loss of public in terest in road races and amateur meets, the close student of the situ- ation cannot help seeing that profes- sional cycle racing is going to pros per this season. Setting a minimum of the patronage that will be given to these cycling meets, the fact re- mains that many racers will make good money. Their compensation is assured by the control of the sport by the officials of the National Cy- cling association. If the promoters of the meets do not make money, there will be others who will finance the undertakings.
 One of the members of the board of control of the N. c. A., George Greenburg, recently said that he thought there would be more money raced for by speedy professionals this season than ever before. Last year, although the average reader of sport ing news did not realize it, the amount given to racers was greater than at any season since 1895. The N. c. A. will issue permits this year for nearly 1000 race meets. There are 23 tracks in the United States that will give meets. Some of these courses will have weekly meets. Els pecially strong is the sentiment in favor of these meets in the east. While MT. Greenburg was in at I~o Nr1f the N. G. A. he was approached by race meet promoter who was anx- ious to get an exclusive privilege to hold meets in a Rhode Island city. The enthus1astic promoter offered MT. Greenburg $1,0Oo if he would vote for the franchise and foil rival bid der.
 Letters in the offices of the N. c. A. board of control members indicate that the three great holidays of the season, Memorial day, Independence day and Labor cay, will be occasions for the racers to earn big money and for the spectators to see a revival of cycle racing. Applications have been made for 75 big meets for these days, and probably there will be as many m1nOf aHdlTS. LaSb year over 200 minor meets were given sanctions. There will be 32 meets in the grand circuit this year. A conservative es- timate of the value of prizes, both money and trophy, to be distributed to the pedalers this season places the sum at $3oo,0O0. During last year the "profs" gathered in a known total of $11O,00O and the amateurs raced for about $45,0 ,0oO worth of medals, dia- monds, etc.
 There is another matter that shows which way the straws are pointing the manufacturers of wheels have suddenly resurrected their dormant interest in racing men, and this year will pay the usual salaries to cyclists who pedal their wheels about the cir cult. Furthermore, the dealers, who have had to adopt aggressive meth ods of advertising to move the big stock of machines stored in their rooms, will revive their old policy of fostering the sport at minor meet ings by donating pr1zes.
 Cyclists who follow pace and pro- vide the best entertainment for the public will divide about $190,000 as

Richard Golden in "Old Jed Prouty'' has been secured as a special attrac- tion for Polls next Monday evening, and 1t ought to be particularly popu- lar one. The play is on the order of '.The Old Homestead' and '.Shore Acres" depicting New England life in a humorous and pathetic way, and ii has had vogue almost as extensive as either of those popular plays.

CHAPTER V.

Mid June had come, and there was
the very devil to pay = so said the
scouts and soldiers up along the Zig
Horn. But scouts and soldiers were
far removed from the states and cities
where news was manufactured, and
those were days in which our Indian
outbreaks were described in the press
long after, instead of before, their &C.
currence. Such couriers as had got
through Frayne brought dispatches
from the far-isolated posts along that
beautiful range, insisting that the
Sioux were swarming in every valley
Such dispatches, when wired to Wash
ington and referred" to the depart
ment of the interior and re-referred to
the head of the Indian bureau, were
scoffed at as sensational.
"Our agentsreport the Indians peace
ably assembled at their reservations.
None are missing at the weekly dis
tribution of supplies except those who
are properly accounted for as out on
their annual hunt" The "officers,"
said the papers, "seem to take the real
Indian in every bush," and unpleasant
things were limited at the officers in
consequence.

sections, and they were unquestion-

Smoky Hill and the Southern plains,
and there the interior department in
sisted that troops in strong force
should be sent. So, too, along the line
of the Union Pacific. Officials were still
nervous. Troops of cavalry camped at
intervals of forty miles along the line
between Kearney and Julesburg, and
even beyond. At Washington and

fore, there was no anxiety IS to
the possible fate of those little
garrisons, with their helpless charge
of women and children, away up
in the heart of the Sioux country. But
at Laramie and Frayne and Emory, the
nearest frontier posts; at Cheyenne,
Omaha and Gate City the anxiety was
great. When John Folsom said the In
dams meant war of determination
people west of the Missouri said:
withdraw those garrisons while
there is yet time, or else send five
thousand troops to help them" But
people east of the Missouri said: ''Who
the devil is John Folsom? What does
he know about it? Here's what the In
dian agent says, and that's enough"
and people east of the Missouri being
vastly in the majority, neither were
the garrisons relieved nor the reen-
forcements sent. What was worse.
John Folsom's urgent advice that they
discontinue at once all work at War
rior Gap and send the troops and la
borers back to Reno was pooh-poohed.
1.-THE contracts have been let and
signed. The material is all on its way.

get him to talk. Promise him lot of
presents. Yes, if he must have them,

much anything to be good and keep his

Such were the instructions given the
and interpreters hurried
through Gate City and Frayne, and on
up to Reno just within the limit fixed
by Folsom. Red Cloud and his chiefs
came in accordingly, arrayed in pomp,
paint and fnery, shook hands grimly
