one is driving heavily laden mule or
llama, or carries a load on his or her
own back. There goes one staggering
under four long planks; another has a
pile of we'll filled sacks on his back.
another trots off with big trunk that
weighs him nearly to the ground; and
there. goes woman in total eclipse, SO
to speak, nothing but her bare feet and
ankles being visible beneath the bundle
of alfalfa heaped upon her head.
In strong contrast to the patient and
hard working Indians, who are imposed
upon by everybody and in every way,
are the Cholos, or half breeds-a class
nearly as numerous, but very different
in manner and appearances, being noisy,
saucy and independent; by no means
desirable class of citizens. OF course
there are notable exceptions; but as a
rule they lie, cheat, steal like magpies,
and can never be depended upon to
carry out bargain. Some of the women
are very handsome while young, in
coarse way, but most of them are
thoroughly bad. They are are generally
short in stature, inclined to stoutness,
with bold black eyes, perfect teeth and
heavy hair. All are excessively fond of
bright colors, and possess the secret of
dyeing them. Their dress is peculiar.
Here comes female Cholo, who is
fair sample, out for a paseo, or prom
enade. She wears such number of
skirts as to give them bell-shaped out
line, as though worn over hoop. The
outer one is canton flannel, made woody
side out, gorgeous yellow of indescrib-
able tint, between salmon and orange.
Below it the white lace of the next
skirt hangs down about an eighth of a
yard. All the skirts, starched so stitf1y
that they rattle, are made short enough

legs (she wears no hose) above the tops
of her white kid boots. She always
wears two shawls-never by any chance,
whatever the weather, appearing in only
one The lower shawl, delicate pink,
is put on somehow so that the point
comes directly in front, like an apron,
extending nearly to the hem of her skirt;
while the outer one, royal purple with
green flowers in the border, has the
point behind and is fastened together
at the bosom with cluster of silver
pins, hitched together by silver chain.
Her coarse black hair hangs down her
back in two braids, tied together at the
ends With white strings. Her enormous
ly long earrings, reaching almost to her
shoulders, are set with imitation pearls:
and on her head is jauntily perched
white straw hat OF the ''sailor shape"
much too small, with a blue ribbon
around it. FANNIE B. WARD.

MONTANA'S SHEEP FLOCK.

Illustrations That Help to Give ali Idea of
the Size of 1t.
The State of Montana in the wool
season just closed produced, according
to the estimate prepared by State of
ticials, 37,50O,O00 pounds of wool from
the backs of IL, 100000 sheep. For this
wool Eastern buyers paid $4,000, 900, an
average of 16 cents a pound.
Few people have any conception of
what is meant when it is said that there
are -, 800, 900 sheep within the limits Of
the State. There is not single State
east of the Mississippi in which this gi-
gantic flock could Craze.
If the 12,5OO,0OO sheep of Montana
were to march nose to tail, crOWding
each other, they would make a line 49,
900 miles long, or nearly half way
around the earth. This line, in single
file, would be about one hundred and
fifty days in passing given point.
These sheep are worth 500, 900, 900 as
they walk the range, and their flesh
would bring $250,00O,0O0 for food.
Their mutton would feed one man
2, 800, 900 years, or if 1880 people had
Ilttu oCdI COu W COlouHlC ~ az UuO VllilO
of the birth of Christ, they would have
some left.
The mutton would feed 2, 900, 600 peo-
pie on meat for year, or, allowing the
average percentage of mutton to each
family, it would more than supp ly this
nation a year.
The wool yielded by this flock of
sheep would make 100000 suits of
mems clothes Made in cloth of ordi-
nary texture it would form a band a
quarter of a mile wide and more than
long enough to be wound about the
earth at the equator. 1t would make
carpet on which an army might ma
n8uvre.
Baled this wool would fill 8, $50 freight
cars, or train nearly forty miles long.
The United States Navy could not
transport it and an army of $4,000 men
might fight behind its bales and be
safe from the ordinary small arms.
The sheep of Montana if herded
shoulder to shoulder one deep would
make front 5000 miles long. Herded
in loose formation allowing room to
move rapidly they would cover an area
of eight square miles.
Allowed to breed in a favorable
climate these sheep would become 50,-
OO0, 900 in the course of year or 6, 7O7,-
200, OOO, 900 at the end Of ten years.
But man eats many of them annually
and disease and billiards. carry off many
more 1t is estimated that 5000, 900
Montana sheep persisted inside of four
days in a blizzard which swept the
Northwest last winter.

The God Of the usafra,d.

| Though l walk through the valley of the
shadow Of death, will fear no evil.s-Psalm
xiii, T.
Now there are new religions. Many the
codes and creeds;
Many the quibbling changes to fit with our
fancied needs;
All of them waxing milder; waning in
strength and tone;
None of them stern and sturdy; none of
them stand alone
None like the old religions, those that the
fathers made
Built on the fearless basis-the God of the
Unafraid.
Mind you the old time people9 Questioning
naught, and stern;
Knowing The lifelong lesson ere they were
set to learn;
Seeing the line was rigid, marking for i'll
or good
Holding to step beyond it LED where the
Mind you the old time people? They who
the law Obeyed,
Fearing and finding and praying the God
Of the Unafraid.
Life was constant battle into which they
were flung;
Thoughts were Of old time sinful ere they
were given tongue;
Ave. if a hand offended, straightway it |
must be cut,
Else would the gates of heaven be to them
ever shut.
That was an old time picture, yet it will
never fade
Thus did the people worship the God of the
Unafrad.
Now there are new religions; fragile and
tiimsy things;
Soothing and soft and subtle in all of their
fashionngs.
Mind you the old time people? Never
their fears could cease,
But they were not as we are-theirs were
the hearts at peace;
Theirs were the souls complacent, knowing |
and undiSmayed; i
Theirs was the living master-the God of |
the Unafraid.
