Millions of buualoes swan into Har-

escape the salt water which had been
driven into the lakes and bayous along
the Gulf coast BY prevailing strong
southeast winds. The buGaloes cannot
live in salt water. To set away from q
they entered Harvey's Canal in such
numbers that steamers had the utmost
ciGiculty in making any progress
The buffaloes-weiehin about twenty
pounds each-were so thick ia the water
that they clogsed the paddle wheels Of
the steamboats,
Hundreds Of thousands Of them were
killed by the boats and millions more
died. The canal became clogged with
the dead fish and the pollution drove
people from their homes IN Jefferson
Parish. in which the canal is situated
Many hundreds OF negroes were en-
ployed to throw the dead fish from the
canal with pitchforks. and carloads OF

Grimm Brothers Have Gone to Grave

To the dying remarks of great men

George Grimm, who died on Saturday
in Hoboken. Well" he said. with

Joke on the family name, for he was
the last of his kind, b last of the
famous Grimm brothers. There had
beer FIVE of them. all bachelors.
Grimm's father and mother were
born in Germany. They came here
thirty-fve years ago and went to
housekeeping in the same house in
which their five boys were born, n
in which the last of them died on Sat
urday. The mother died four years
ago. The father has been dead eve
longer.
When the mother died. leaving the
boys without a woman relative 20 look
after them, the five sons came home
from the funeral and talked things
over.
The result was a compact to stick
together, work for each other. keep
house for each other. The three eld-
est boys also agreed not to get mar
ried. The other two didn't know any
thing about marriage then. but they
also took the bachelor path when they
grew up.
The eldest, aged 10, became father
and mother of the family He and

DEMAND FOR HOUSES.

- ALT LAKE NEEDS more houses,
~ lots OF them, and it needs them
BADLY. This is especially true of the
small. modern residence demands. One
.las only TO watch the business from
inside a newspaper office to see how
quickly the smaller frst-class homes
ARE taken.
For instance. a Herald advertiser an
bounced one morning this week that
ne had a small. fve-roOm house for
rent. convenient to street car lines and
reasonably close to the business cen
er.
The paper had barely got on the
I~ssreet with his announcement when
he owner began to hear from his ad-
sertisement. The first application
eame by telephone just as he was get
hing out of bed. Before breakfast he
had enough inquiries to have rented a
block of houses. he says. half a mile
long. BY s O'Clock. he was telephoning
The Herald he had rented his house
and 10 please "kill' his advertisement;
that he had TO have some spare time
Tor other business beside answering
questions about hat hve-room house.
On the rentals now being paid for
houses, residence property is paying
handsomely as an Investment: and
there Is every prospect for a continued
demand much in excess of the sup

CONCERNING THE MILLENNIUM.

DERHAPS NO ONE THING has wor-
l ried so many people at so many
different times as the coming of the
millennium. 1t has been prophesied as
due in almost every year since 1000 a.
D, and the prospects are that the
prophecies will be continued until at
last somebody will be able to say: II
told you So"
Just now there are two opposition
prophets, one a 3-months-old babe in
Warsaw, Russia, and the other a self
styled scientist by the name of Baxter
who lives in London. Unfortunately
for the %populace, the two do not agree
on their dates. The babe is alleged to
nave announced that within a year the
powers Of the world win engage in a
fearful war Of humiliation. Three
years later the millennium is to make
its appearance.
Baxter agrees with h child about
Che war. except that he dates it for
1906. According to Bakers figures, it
viii take Just twenty-three years to
bring the hostilities to a satisfactory
conclusion. and in 1929, he declares. the
millennium viii be upon us. Some peo-
pie Will believe one of the prophets.
some another, and will worry accord
ingly. Possibly the babe viii have the
most adherents. for it has been written:
''rhou hast hid these things from the
wise and prudent and hast revealed
them unto babes"
There is no occasion for anybody to
lose sleep ove either prophecy. We
have enough things to bother us with
out fretting about millenniums. The flu
ture can take al of itself, and will
take care of itself we'll if we take care
of the present. That is the only thing
that belongs to US absolutely, and
those who give n good ccou of them
selves in the todays will not have time
TO grow eareworn over the tomorrows
Maybe the millennium is coming in
1905; maybe it will come in 1929: maybe
it will come tomorrow; maybe it won't
come at all. But if it does come. the
man who has spent his time in bor-
rowing trouble won't be ready for il
while the man who has kept up with
his work will be ready. You NAV all
make up your minds to that PROPOSE
ton, for it's the truth. All things NAV
come to him who waits, but they come
more quickly to him who works whils
! he waits.

The Navajoes have for years been,

effect, both from the humanitarian
standpoint and from the standpoint of
protection for the white settlers. The
case cannot be regarded as closed, how

why he has permitted such a condition

careful investigation may bring some
interesting facts before the public.

AN INDIAN CURE FOR TYPHOID.

Not long ago old Sandy Niccut, the
great medicine man of the Miomac
Indians, was discovered in his tent just
outside the village unconscious and
suffering from a malady which the To-
cal doctor said was typhoid e He
was taken TO a house where he re-
vived enough TO tell his attendants
that he would die unless Eli lie Clare,
a French-Canadian musician who lived
at Miramichi. was sent for
A telegram was therefore sent TO LIE
Clare, asking him TO come and bring
his fiddle. Two days later. the wrin-
kfed Frenchman and his battered hd-
die reached Presque Isle.
The medicine man was unconscious
when Eli entered the sick room. The
musician screwed up his Instrument,
twanged the strings for a moment and
began to play in a minor key, the low
notes rolling off from his bow like
shavings under the stroke of a plane
The sick man was tossing in a de-
lirious fever when Eli started to play,
but as the music continued he became
more quiet, his respiration was less
Iabored and at the end Of an hour he
was sleeping quietly n perspiring-
"Heem bin geet well now" cried the
fiddler. "Ah'm bin scar out re fever
devil, so Sandy heem bin sleep"
He sent for a pint of whisky. and,
having drank more than one-half of it,
he mixed the remainder with cold
water and began to bathe the body OF
his friend, chanting an Indian lullaby
while he worked, and making passes
such as are practiced by magicians
when they try to exercise evil spirits
The patient rested well that night
When he grew feverish, Eli rubbed his
bow across the catgut and reduced the
temperature of his friend. For three
weeks the French-Canadian watched
by the bed of the sick Indian, dosing
himself with whisky and bathing the
patient in whisky and water every
hour.
The doctor, certain thai the Indian
would die, paid little heed TO the case
beyond calling once a day TO take the
temperature of the sick man. h
fever ran its course, and on the twenty
first day, when it turned, Eli went out
for half an hour, coming back with six
large bull frogs. which he placed upon
the sick mans body, three on each
side.
After this he resumed his playing and
did not stop sweeping the bow across
| the sounding strings until Sandy had
broken out in perspiration and was
sleeping easily.
Now geev heem one quart of cold
milk" ordered the musician, IAN heem
bin get we'll"
When Sandy had taken the milk as
ordered and had slept for a few hours,
he woke up and was able to recognize
those about his bed. He felt the cold
frogs against his skin, and asked to
have them removed. Eli turned back
the sheet and took from the bed six
| swollen and discoiored frogs, ali of
them dead
Fever devil heem go in re frogs an
max re frogs die" said Eli. Now
Sandy heem geet well pretty kveek."
Delivering himself of his diagnosis
of the case. the musician took his fd-
die from the table. put on his fur cap
and walked down to the railroad sta
ton. where he purchased a ticket for
| Miramichi.
