The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1902-08-23

The afternoon sun came slantingly
In through the rude windows and
cast strange, golden lights and dark
shadows upon them.
Outside the sun shone on the yell
low sand and the black rocks as II
had shone from the beginning, and
breath of sun laden breeze coming
into the room Knocked them with the
song that the world was still good
to live in.
The girl stood with clasped hands,
gazing straight towards from where
the fatal bullet would come, per-
fectly resigned and fearless to meet
her God; the boy with bowed head,
subdued by the duty imposed upon
him, stood facing the door, idly roll
ing the cylinder of the revolver be-
tween his thumb and finger, waiting,
waiting.
When the first naked braves
bounded up to the door with rifles
held at ready, he fired twice, quick
ly, at the foremost, then as more
came forward to take the fallen's
places, he turned and skilfully shot
her through the heart. When he
turned to meet his fate Horton
feared for q moment that his senses
had left him.
The foremost Apache fell a wrig-
Cling heap in the doorway as il
struck down by a swift and powerful
hand, and almost simultaneously one

1t was some seconds afterwards
that the rifle reports coming up
from the mountain pass where
Lieut.. Thompson and his troop
travelling towards Fort Pratt-were
firing, dismounted, told Horton that
he was saved.
For moment the new lease of life
fairly exhilarated him. Then his
eyes fell upon the form Of the girl,
as she, white, still heap upon the
mud floor, lay beside him.
After all, Thompson and his men
were too late. He was not to be
saved. The girl was dead, and he had
no right
The first trooper to enter was
lightly-mounted private, and he
found them lying almost side by

Mrs. Timmins-John, must say
you are the narrowest-minded man I

Mr.. Timmins-Better look to home.

That's an entirely different thing,

The Hand Iva Health.

Let lis shake hands with man and
we will tell you something about his
health, says the London Doctor. The
firm. hearty handshake of Il sincere
man may he rather rough. SO that one
is taught he has Il grip. but 1t indicates
stamina. While denoting absence Of
tact and refinement, 1t points to phys.
ical strength. The fiabby hand that
retains no pressure belongs to the per
son who has no great strength of body
or mind. t%te quick. nervous handshake
of an excitab!e. nervous temperament
and its opposite, the nerveless, passive
one, belong to persons in i'll health.
The hand that threatens to collapse or
give means fear. The feel of the hand
called magnetic indicates health and
kindness and desire to help others.
In many ways we may decide charac-
ter by the hand as well as the brain.

THE, IRRIGATION PEOBLtM.

According to Washington dispatches
the House seems disposed 10 act favor
ably on what is known as the hans
brough-Newlands irrigation bill. Just
what the provisions of this measure
may be the public have had no reason
able opportunity to learn. 1t may or
NAV not be open to the objections that
have been urged against certain
amendments offered to the Newlands
bill in its earlier stages. These
amendments were evidently designed
In the interest of State and Territorial
politics and politicians. and would in
evitably render the bill more in the
nature of a scheme for the benefit of
the big land-grabbing concerns than
one for the promotion of the settle
ment of the arid region by bona fide
settlers.
Wnila the great body Of tee people
sons of the different schemes before
Congress on this subject. they do I'M
derstand quite clearly what is to their
own interest. They demand such legis-
lation as will reserve both land and
water alike to the absolute and indie
feasible use Of the settlers. They want
the land shark, who has been more
or less necessary outgrowth Of the
present system of disposing of the
public domain, killed off with re-
ference to the irrigated lands. They
do not want great syndicates to be
able to control the land, by storing and
stealing the waters providing by God,
to nurture that land. Any form of
legislation which will admit of vast
tracts OF irrigated lands finding their
way into the hands of spectators,
foreign or native. as Is the cGse to-
day. generally throughout the States
OF the West where artificial irrigation
has been utilized, ought tc he ri:;nless-
ly killed off. To those ends it Is ab-
solutely necessary for the general gov
ernmeLt to control the land, the wa
ter and the works through which the
one is made FERTILE by the othe1.

lNTOL6RABLE LAWS.

A dispatch printed in the Los An
geles Herald of Sunday from Burling-
ton, Vermont, offers a splendid illu-
stration of the violation of public and
personal rights which may be accom-
plished through the enforcement of un-
reasonable laws. For refusing to sur
render the name of the person who
supplied him with liquor, through
drinking which he had become intoxi-
Gated, a man was sentenced in that
community to 299 days of successive
Imprisonment, and the State was sub
jected to an estimated expense of
$119.50 for his support during his I'M
prisonment. This outrageous personal
and public wrong is. moreover, likely
to be supplemented by the reimprison-
ment of the offender. IL necessary, for
the term of his natural life, and the
imposition of an additional charge of
50 cents day on the State il he still
refuses to turn informer, and the judge
who convicted him should chose to ex-
ercise the authority vested in him un-
der the provisions of the Vermont pro-
hibitory law.
The disregard of personal rights
which are involved in sumptuary legis-
lation Is generally recognized. The
theory on which it's advocates go is
that the citizen must not be allowed
to drink liquor except at the risk of
going to jail. This particular case re-
presents the most dispicabe of the
features of such legislation. There
citizen is condemned to an indefinate
period of Imprisonment until he con-
,sents to play informer. A premium Is
set on infamy, cowardice and corrup-
tion, and the individual who has any
sense OF personal honor Is called on to
Surrender that sense of honor at the
t1ictation of the law and Its instru-
.uer,fs. or else go to Jail for its asser-

Hicks Forecast For September.

Warm weather generally will rrost
likely prevail at the opening of the
month On and touching the I'd to 4th
no one should be surpris ed by energetic
storms of rain. wind and thunder. This
is one of the autumnal equinoctial PER
iods in which heavy storms are quite
probable in southern waters, exposed to
West Indian storms. Should these
storms reach the interior quite cool
weather will follow, with chances that
frost will occur about the 4th to 18th.
Reactionary storms more or less angry
are due from 18th to 9th The regular
storm period central on the 18th will al
most certainly bring on a state of stormy
and unsettle weather that will continue
in a general way in reactionary storm
days about the nth or 18th. One of the
danger periods for September is this
equiDoctial storm. Watch for cosl nights
and frosts. The last regular storm rer-
led for the month ia central on the oath.
Another series of equinoctial storms is
possible at this time. No one can for
see the exact outcome or just where the
disturbance will strike with greatest
violence. The month closes in a react
ienary storm, excited by the passage of
the moon ever the equator on the 30th,
and autumnal storms will touch many
localities.
