Fragrant Wood.

Few of our native trees have odorif-
erous wood like the sandalwood of the
islands in the Indian ocean, but few
of the conifera on the Pacific slope
have sweet scented woods. The fine
church at Metlakatla, built by the CIV
ilized Indians of Alaska. is as fra
grant as if incense were continually
floating through the air from the Woo
of the great arbor vitae (Thuja gigan
teal of which it is built. Libocedrus
decurrens, found farther south, is
known as 'tincense cedar" from it's
fragrance. The yellow cypress Gu
pressus nutkaensis) and the Monterey
cypress (Cypressus macrocarpa) have
also scented woods. In the Atlantic
states red cedar and arbor vitae have
scented wood.-Meehan's Monthly.

The

Last Of the Tonkawas

To begin at the beginning ] must
say that had very poor opinion of

at Chickasaw, where Tom Pepper, one
of the old-time "drummers he's dead

Bafiin 1t was in the old days before
the government was half ready to OPP
en- up the Kiowa and Comanche coun-
try, and the few travelling men who
got into the traders had to drive
in by wagon. The Rock Island was
surveying, | think. but there wasn't a
mile of road west Of the Chickasaw
line.
The case that Pepper made out
against Baffin came pretty near being
the prize hard luck story. with Batfin
as the victim. Baffin was trader
in those days and might have prosper
ed if he were not everlastingly burn
ing out What struck me as singular
was that. in spite of the numerous
Tires which followed his wanderings.
kafin never carried any insurance,
never Whined over his losses and new
er repudated his debts. But fire
was not the only cause of his mis-
fortunes. Whenever he bought few
cattle they would get string-halted
or manned on somebody's barbed Wire
fence. If he put out crop a herd
of ponies was sure to invade and de
stroy it. III luck. according to Pepper
seemed to follow Baffin till every
white man in the reservations except
himself believed that the young trad
er had enemies among the Indians.
However. as | was not loking for
trade and had mind to prospect a

Baffin's address and set out on horse
