More or less fanciful accounts are

federation impossible.

CHAPTER XII.

The summer was drawing to q close,
and with 1t Mary's school. She had sue
ceeded In giving satisfaction to the en-
tire district. Mr.. knight, with whom
Mary was a great favorite, offered her
the school for the coming winter, but she
had decided upon attending school her
self, and after modestly declining his Of
fer, told him of her intention.
But where's the money coming from p
said he.
Mary laughingly asked him how many
bags Of shoes he supposed she had stitch
ed during the last two years.
"More'n two hundred, I'll bet" said he.
Not quite as many as that" answered
Mary; "but still have managed to earn
my clothes and thirty dollars besides; and
this, together with my school wages, will
pay for one term and part of another"
well, 60 ahead" returned Mr.. knight.
'I'd help you II could. Go ahead; and
who knows but you'll one day be the
presidents wife,"
When Widow Perkins heard that Mary
was going away to school she forgot to
put any yeast In the bread which she was
making, and, bidding Sally Ann watch II
until it riz," she posted OF to Mrs. Ma
sons to inquire the particulars, reckoning
up as she went along how much fourteen
weeks wages would come to at nine shil-
lings per week.
But with all her quizzing and pump
ing" as Judith called it. she was un-
able to ascertain anything of Importance.
and, mencally styling Mrs. Mason, Mary,
Judith and ail great gumpheads," she
returned home and relieved Sally Ann
from her watch over unleavened bread.
Both Mrs. Mason and Mary laughed
heartily at the widows curiosity, though,
as Mary said, 'It was no laughing mat
ter where the money was to come from
which she needed for her books and cloth
ing" A. s.
Everything which Mrs. Mason could
do for her she did, and even Judith, who
was never famous for generosity, brought
in one Saturday morning a half-worn
merino, which she thought "mebby could
be turned and sponged, and made into
somethin' decent" adding. in an under
tone. that "she'd had it out airin' on the
clothes .hoss for more'n two hours!'
A few days afterward Jenny Lincoln
came galloping up to the school house
door, declaring her intention of staying
until school was out. and having a good
time.
II hear you are going to Wilbraham,"
said she, "but l want you to go to Mount
Holyoke. We are going. whole lot of
us--that is, II we can pass examination.
Rose isn't pleased with the idea, but l
am. think twill be fun to wash po-
tatoes and scour knives. l don't believe
that mother would ever have sent us
there if 1t were not that Ida Selden IL
going. Her father and her Aunt Mar
tina used to be schoolmates with Miss
Lyon, and they have always intended
that Ida should graduate at Mount Hol-
yoke. Now, why can't you go, tooY
81 wish could" said Mary, "but
can't. haven't money enough, and there
is no one to give It to me-"
ct wouldn't hurt Mrs. Campbell to
help you little," returned Jenny. why,
last term Ella spent almost enough for
candies and gutta percha toys to pay the
expense OF half a years schooling at
Mount Holyoke. It's too bad that she
should have everything and you nothing"

sioux INDIANS RESTLESS.
NOT IMPOSSIBLE THERE MAY BE
AN UPRISING DURING COM
ING SUMMER
REPORTED IN AN UGLY MOOD
Is Predicted That July 4 Will Mark
the Inception of Another Out
break of Redskins Against
the whites.

FORT YATES, N. D., Feb. 27.-The re-
ports ernanating from Omaha that tho
Sioux are in an ugly mood are perfectly
correct. This has been known here for
some time by those who are In the con-
f1dence of the Indians. It has not been
given ont, as it is not always wise to-
make an Indian scare without good
cause.
There are those who have been warned
that the time Of the outbreak will be on
July 4. At that time thousands of In.
dams assemble at the agency to have
sports. The soldiers at the post too,
are usually off somewhere enjoying
themselves. Probably no better time
could be selected from an Indian point
of view.
There are not many Indians on this
agency who are favorable to the upris-
iTg, and they are all 10th to talk about
it. The Indian bureau Is partly re-
sponsihle for this restless feeling among
the Sioux. The Indians are anxious to
get complete statement of the money
coming to them from the sale of the
lands ceded in the 1889 treaty, but so far
they have been unable to get 1t. 1t has
been reported to them that senators are
having schools, for which there is no
need, built out of their money.
Col. Mclaughlin, who has more IN
f1uence with the Sioux than any other
white man living, was here last winter
He had long talks with the Indians, ex-
planned treaties, and other matters to
them, and promised to take up some Of
their grievances with the commissioner.
AS they have complete confidence in the
colonel, they are content to leave the
matter in his hands for the present
With the lower Indians it is different
and there is a prospect CT serious trouble

RULES FOR THE BIG RAGE
CONDITIONS THAT WILL GOVERN
IN THE NEXT AMERICAS
CUP CONTEST
FIRST RACE TO BE AUG. 90
Aside From Setting an Earlier Date,
the Arrangements Are Prac-
tscaIy the Same as in
Previous Races.

NEW YORK, Feb. 2T-The New York
Yacht club tonight made public the text
of the rules which have been adopted
with the consent of the Royal Ulster
Yacht club, to govern the international
races next summer between the defender
of the Americas cup and Sir Thomas
LiptOn's new challenger. The rules are
in the main. similar to those of former
years.
The match is to be decided by the best
three out of five races, starting from
Sandy Hook lightshtp; the first, third and
fifth will be over straight courses to
Windward or leeward and return. Tho
course for the second and fourth will be
an equilateral triangle.
The courses are to be as near as pos
sible to thirty nautical miles in length
The races shall be sailed on August 90
% and a. 1901, and on the following Tues
day and. Thursday if necessary The Irish
club suggested flying start without any
time allowance, which they wrote had
worked well on that side of the water,
but the New York Yacht club did not
act favorably on the idea.
The accident clause this year is as
follows: In case a serious accident &C.
ours to either vessel prior to the pre-
paratory signal she shall have sufficient
time to effect repairs before being re-
quired to start or If such accident &C.
ours during a race before being required
to start in the next race.
Each yacht shall stand by the con-
sequence of any accident happening TO
her after the preparatory signal, and on
the occurrence of any such accident dis
aiding either vessel the other vessel shall
sail out the race"
From the above outline it will be seen
that the principal innovation is that set
ting the time Of the races earlier than
heretofore

EIGHT HOURS A DAY.
Legal Maximum Fixed for Miners by
British Parliament.

LONDON, Feb. 27.-The house of COM
mons today, after lengthy debate,
passed the second reading of the bill re-
stricting the work of miners to eight
hours daily by 212 to 1873 votes.
The bill is a private measure. The op-
ponents of the restriction Of the hours
of labor insisted that such action would
enormously enhance the price of coal
Sir Alfred Altman Conservative said
the country during the PAST year had had
an object lesson of the effect on trade
Of dear coal. The British government
had to order bridges in America for
Uganda, Egypt and Burmah. The rail-
ways bought reils in America and eveR
coal had to be imported into this coun-
try. In the United States miners pro-
duced so per cent more coal than they
did in England, not because they were
more sl1illful, but because they worked
ten hours per day

SIOUX FALLS, S. D.,eFeb. 2I-(Spe-
cial 1.-The manner in; which cattle and
horses drift during the severe storms
of winter is shown by the fact that at
the present time between 2000 and 250)
head of strange horses are scattered
over small area ofncountry in the vi
entity Of Midland postodice. In the in
terror Of the ceded Sioux lands between
the Missouri river and the Black hills.
The animals do not balong to South Da-
kota stockmen. nor do their brands
show them to be the property Of stock
men in either Montana or Wyoming, as
the brands borne by them are not re-
corded in the official brand books Of the
three states, so the natural inference is
that they have drifted to- the South Da-
kota ranges from states even farther
away than Montana OR Wyoming 1t is
thought the. animals may be from as
far away as Idaho. Efforts are being
made by officials of the South Dakota
stock associations to ascertain the name
and home of the owners Unless they
can soon be located it is feared that the
herd of drift horses will become the
prey Of horse 'lustlers,,' who have re-
Gently been very bold in that part Of
the state. The herd would prove a rich
harvest for thieves, for, with the animals
are large number Of unbranded colts.
which would be easy to dispose Of with
out risk to themselves If the ssrustlers''
secured possession Off them. Reputable
stockmen living in the vicinity will
strive to protect the animals against
thieves until their owners are found but
1t is feared that they will not be able
to prevent the herd being raided by
thieves.

that the report of the committee on

batsman, unless two strikes have
already been CALLED against him, shall
henceforth be counted as strikes.
Rule No. 3, defining the position of the
catcher's lines was altered SO that the
catcher will have to stand within ten
feet instead of ninety feet of the plate.
