AN INDIAN "sEeF ISSUE"
The Picturesque Festival Of the ronca
Inlinna

Indians.
The Ponca Indians held their last
beef issue recently. II was held on
the banks of the Arkansas river. on
their reservations south of Wichita,
Kan, hundred miles or more. Hun.
dreds OF Indians danced and made
merry. The medicine men held s,s.
sions behind closed doors, and the
squaws raced with one another in
their glee.
Not in n year or two had the Indian
agent consented to a beef issue. forthe
government at Washington dscour-
ages such things. White men call the
beef issue a savage fetc-somethng
like the Mexican bull fight.
The cattle are given no chance for
their lives whatever. The agent rode
out to the camp. He told them they
could give chase to the waiting herd
as soon as the young men were ready.
A wild, weird, chanting song ran
through the camp. Suddenly from
the lodges the young men broke forth.
iHey were clad III gay trapplnSS and
their faces were covered with paint.
Each carried a long field gun. Soon
the crack of gun. the shouting and
believing of the wild cattle and the
nerce shouting of warriors told that
the chase was on.
Half an hour the chase was kept
up, and the widest excitement pre-
vailed in camp. The sQuaws were
sharpening their kitchen knives and
rolling up their sleeves. The medi-
cine men were chanting glad tidings
to the Great Spirit for the success of
the chase. Then. after every one OF
the herd had been laid low upon the
grassy plains, the young men, with
laurels over their shoulders. came rid
ing back, long columns abreast After
the squaws had skinned and dressed
the beef the medicine men went forth
and invoked the blessings of the Great
Spirit. After this was done the In.
dians. large and small, rushed to the
carcasses and ate their fill.-Minne.

When he visited England n few

A New COttOn-Ein.

1t is probable that no single indus
trial invention of the nineteenth CEN
fury saved so much labor and pro-
duced so much wealth as Eli Whit
ncy's cotton-gin. Thomas W. Prior,
of Chicago, claims, however, to have
invented new cotton-gin which. by
passing the cotton through rollers,
will remove all foreign substances
without any breaking or cutting of the
fibre. 1t is said to have double the ca
pacity of the Whitney gin and to be
capable of adding from one to one and
half cents per pound to the value Of
the cotton.
On an average cotton crop this new
gin, If its inventor Is not mistaken, will
put $5O,O00,000 year at least into the
pockets Of our Southern planters. Eli
Whitney, on whose big idea the ante
bellum South made large part of its
wealth, made nothing for himself out
Of it. His successor, if his gin is what
he claims, may fare better-if he es-
capes lifelong patent suit - New

Care of Sheep During Winter.

It is Il mistake to think that Il straw
stack is sufficient protection, and that
the sheep can pick from it all the food
they need during the winter. Is it any
surprise the sheep kept in this way are
Il disappointment, and the owner says
that sheep do not pay? For in the
spring the sheep that remain alive
to toll the tale will probably have lost
about half their wool, and the little
that remains will be of very poor quail
ity. They need protection from the
cold winter storms, but the buildings
need rot be expensive nor too warm;
all that is needed is to keep them dry
and sheltered from the winds.

IT'S easy to smile when the sun smiles, too
And the sky is field Of blue;
But give me your smile when the sun is
gone
And the sky is OF leaden hue.
IT'S easy to smile when the fowrs smile
too,
And you walk in their odors sweet;
But give me your smile when the flowers
lie dead
And the thorns prick your weary feet.
IT'S easy to smile when the birds sing
cheer
And you bark to the ripping rill
But give me your smile when the waters
sigh
And the songs of the birds are still.
IT'S easy to smile when the world smiles
too,
And you walk with joyous heart;
But give me your smile when the whole
world frowns;
Can you smile when the teardrops
start?

perlenCe. Inc men or the Little Col.
oradO camp subsequently searched
for Bowden and found his body about
ten miles from the camp he and
Watts had made.
Bowden had walked in the night
through the dead land, where in star.
light or sunlight all things look alike.
Either things are white to the eye or
gray. But there is so much white and
so much gray that to distinguish one
object from another, to remember 1t,
to say, Il will come back to this" is
not possible So when Bowden started
to retracc his steps he did not know
where he was. The plain was all
north, south, east and west. He quite
evidently had sat down and tried to
collect his thoughts, for there were
marks in the waste indicating the va
rious positions he had taken. He had
Il small bottle of water with him, but
no food.
No sound swept the plain. Bowden
may have thought he was entombed
in some vast charnel-house of the
ages to which Time has brought Ma
lures remains and left them without
burial. He was on the crest Of one
time vast lava beds, spot where the
fires of hell once ragged beneath his
feet. Here the last great battle of the
peaks of the continent had probably
been fought with thunderbolt and
flame hurled from the bowels Of the
earth. And he was alone. Not even
the wretched lizards of the lava re-
giOn We're moving. Perhaps Watts
was in stones throw of him; he
could not tell. He called. No voice
answered. He walked, but it was in
a circle, and he came back time and
time again to his starting point.
He waited for the dawn-one hope
that the suns light might give him
trace Of Watts. He saw the shade
Of the night growing deeper and
deeper. and then the driving Of the
blackness back from the east and the
coming there of cold line of gray
and then an insolent one of red, and
then Il savage yellow with that and
then, with one leap, the sun. He
must have scanned the plain, but
there was no sign of Watts. He called,
he laughed, he cried. He drank his
water to the last drop in the bottle.
He walked and ran. He returned to
the spot where he had first become be-
wildered. He was hot and then cold,
and the sun rose higher and higher;
grew more pitiless with every ad-
vance. The white heat beat down on
him; 1t rose in sheets before him and
placed awful cOlOrs before him. Now
the lizards and mean creeping things
came out, but they passed him by.
They could wait. Others had preceded
him.
After long time the man threw
his hands high in the air, far up to
the sun god that was calling him, al
though beating him down. He fell

The ranches of the stockmen south
west of Tucson, Ari2. are suffering
severely from the great bands of wild
ponies which range in that section
these animals in the vicinity of La
Osa. Not only do they eat up the
grass that should be cropped by the
cattle, but they are a menace to the
stockman who wishes to turn his
horses out on the range, for tame COW
ponies join the wild bands whenever
there is a chance. The wild ponies
even gather at the water holes and
drive the cattle away. 1t is probable
a general roundup will be made before

Gain During First Ycnr.

The greatest gain with an animal is
during its first year of life. At one
of the fat stock shows the prize year
ling weighed 1890 pounds, and the
best wo-year-old weighed 1873 pounds,
These heavy weights could not have
been attained by the use of feed on v
as the breed was also an important
factor. That the young steers weighed
50 heavily when young demonstrates
that the farmer can, with the best
breeds, save year or two in tine and
consequently also save cost in food
and labor.
