Into His Own.
It is the story Of polite and pol
ished Virginia gentleman and his land
lady, also polite, polished, and a viz
glnian. 1t rained on day not long
ago, and when Mr.. CuIpepper looked
for his umbrella in the terra-cotta tile
in the hall; 1t was not there. Mr.. Cul-
pepper was far too courteous to say
that somebody had taken it. He didn't
even say it was gone. He merely
looked at the terra-cotta tile and cher
ished regrets. 1t was raining and be
had no umbrella. The courteous land
lady came upon him and OWNED his
trouble.
Haven't you any umbreIlaY' she
asked. "Oh, that's too bad. You
mustn't think of going out without
one. Just wait moment till / get you
mine"
Mr.. Culpepper protested, but when
Virginian meets yirginian courtesy is
bound to prevail to the end. The
landlady went upstairs and presently
returned with an umbrella.
"Therel" she said Take it; I
shan't need It to-day, and you're per-
fectly welcome"
And the grateful Mr.. Culpepper STEP
ped out and unrolled an umbrella
which was the very one he had lost.
Courteous Virginia gentleman, courte-
GUS Virginia landlady, and you needn't
ask me how the umbrella came to
change owners, for don't know.

dinner that Indian had fashioned an
other helve. We compared 1t with a
manufactured helve. It was as well
shaped, as smooth, as nicely balanced.
In fact, as we laid the new and the
old side by side, we could not have
selected, from any evidence of the
workmanship, which had been made
by machine and which by hand.
Tawabinisay then burned out the
wood from the ak, retempered the
steel, set the new helve, and wedged
it neatly with ironwood wedges. The
whole affair, including the cutting of
the timber, consumed perhaps half an
hour.
To travel with a Woods Indian Is a
constant source Of delight on this ac-
count. The Indian rarely needs to hunt
for the materials he . requires, He
knows exactly where they grow. and
he turns as directly to them as a clerk
would turn to his shelves No prob.
lem Of the living of physical life is toe
obscure to have escaped his varied ex.
perience. You may travel with Indians
for years, and learn every summer
something new and delightful about
| how to take care of yourself.

Life Of the Russian Poor.

AS a rule a Russian village is for
lorn looking place, where the huts Of
the poor are made of birch logs, with
upright oak or pine supports, ceiling
of strips of the same birch and walls
lined with the crude branches. In these
huts there are only two rooms, one o.
which is not for everyday use, but IS
kept for best occasions. This room
houses those sacred images 80 dearlo

Founding Cripple Creek.

About a dozen years ago, a weary,
Flooding man with hammer in hand
left Colorado Springs to look for gold.
He was poor man, and on this trip
he had been grub-staked-that is, some
one had lent him enough money to
pay his expenses, with the understand
ing that if gold was found the man
who lent the money should receive a
certain proportion. This weary plod-
der had trod those mountains for
years. He knew every canyon, every
peak, every crag, and after all those
years he was poor in pocket, but rich
in experience.
1t was on the morning Of a bright
July Fourth-Independe day-that
he looked into wild basin lying be-
tween the mountain peaks. Far away
to the west he saw Pixies Peak pier
cling the clouds, but the grandeur and
wildness of the scene were nothing to
him. He was thinking of the day-In-
dependence day-and wondering when
his day of independence would come
Within twelve hours it came to him.
and Winfield Scott Stratton found the
great bonanza that Fourth Of July
and he called it "Stratton's Indepeud-
ence" Thus he founded Cripple Creek
and from that time he has taken the
wealth of a Midas and Croesus three
times over.
From the mining camp of Cripple
Creek millions in gold have beer
taken.-Four-Track News.

WOODS INDIANS.

~~~~NN~NeNN

The Woods Indians, as Stewart Ed
ward White calls the Ojibways and
Woods Crees north Of Lake Superior,
are distinctly nomadic. They search
out new trapping grounds and new
fisheries, they pay visits, and seem
even to enjoy travel for the sake of
exploration. This life, says the author
of 1.-The Forest" inevitably develops
and fosters an experiences of woodcraft
almost beyond belief.
Another phase of this almost perfect
correspondence to environment is the
meet an emergency. We are accus-
toned to rely first Of all on the skilled
labor of some one we can hire; second,
If we undertake the job ourselves, on
the tools made for US by skilled labor;
and third, on the shops to supply us
with the materials we need. Hardly
once in lifetime are we thrown en-
tirely on our own resources Then we
bunglingly improvise a makeshift.
The Woods Indian possesses his
knife and his light ak. He never i'm.
provises makeshifts. No matter what
the eXigency or how complicated the
demand, his experience answers with
accuracy. Utensils and tools he knows
exactly where to find. His job Is neat
and workmanlike, whether it is the
construction of bark receptacle, wa
ter-tight or not; the making of a pail
Of snow shoes, the repairing of badl,
smashed canoe, the building of shell
ter, or the fashioning of paddle.

the remainder. The money given for
the purchase of fodder was treated In
the same way and the horse left to pick
up living as best he could.
The result was shown in a serious
deterioration in the efficiency of the
Cossacks. Similar dishonesty was
prevalent in the other departments Of
Russian army administration an illus
tration of which is found in the story
OF the Russian officers found guilty
OF selling powder to the Chinese and
putting sand In its place.
The Japanese even assert that the
number of troops under the command
of Kouropatkfn was misrepresented
SO that money might be made by draw.
ing supplies for fictitious warriors. To
make full allowance for CONTINGENCIES
the Japanese estimated the number of
Russians they would encounter on the
1alu as 10000 in all and sent 6OOOo
troops against them. It was found IN
the end that the Russians had onlv
10000 men to oppose the crossing OF
the river.-Brooklyn Eagle.
