the Indian has met with at the hands
OF the whites. One day I got him to tell

q profound impression upon me. In

Many long years ago when he was a
young man he had already gained pow
er amongst his people, the Navahoes,
by his warlike skill and daring cour
age. He had been granted allthe springs
and pasturage in a large territory, a
portion of which he still retains. He
had horses, sheep and goats, and in
several places good-sized fields of corn.
He was well to do and prosperous, and
in all great councils of his people his
voice vas listened to as that of a wise
and successful man.

How TO KIM Cround Mole..

Ground moles, aside from the dam
age they do to growing plants by lift
Ing them or disturbing their roots,
are rather a friend than an enemy.
They are insectivorous, and it is in
searching out grubs and cutworms
that they make tunnels. These tun-
nels are merely traps, into which the
worms fall and are picked up by the
mole in his rounds. Persistent
tramping in of his runs will drive
him to parts of the garden or lawn
where he will do no harm. However,
If he must be killed, it car be easily
done. Open his tunnel, saturate some
waste with bisulphide of carbon, put
it into the hole, and cover with dirt.
The fumes viii permeate the whole
system of tunnels. and kill all animal
life there. Don't poison grain; he
won't eat i'll. L. Irwin, in Farm
and FireSide.

stormy day, and Musha was u seeing
after some of his stock that he wished
to have moved. While he and his help
ers watched. the white men essayed to
cross the river in a rude boat which
they had hastily constructed. That
they were ignorant of the dangers
which beset them Musha could soon
see. They evidently did not realize the
swiftness of the river, nor the fact
that a little below them was the en-
trance to Marble canyon, in whichrapid

If agreeable to Russia and Great

no clash of serious nature has occurred.

of the American representatives to re-

nothing to do with the attitude Of the
