Isabella Bishops First Journey.
Blackwood's Magazine


The first of all her many Journeys was
undertaken to try to break a habit OF
sIeeplessness She went with some cousins
to Canada, anw after that Travelled by her
self from one set of friends to another.
Once in train going to New York she
was dreadfully tired. and yet she had
feeling that, If she went to sleep, the man
sitting next to her would pick her pocket.
She struggled for some hours against her
inclination, but having for a moment given
way, she awakened to feel the hand of
her neighbor gently withdrawing her purse
from her pocker. Young and inexperi-
enced in travel though she then was, she
considered slowly what course she should
pursue. In her purse, besides some money
which was, comparatively speaking, of
small moment, there was her baggage
ticket That was the only thing that really
mattered II she accused her neighbor Of
theft. nothing was simpler for him than to
drop the purse out of the open window be-
side which he was sitting. No. she deter
mined she would leave any interference
until they arrived at their destination. She
secured the services of a porter, and, with
apparent calmness, followed her travelling
companion down the platform Having
described her luggage to the porter. she
at the critical moment, bowed slightly to
the pickpocket and, with an airy smile
said: This gentleman has my baggage
ticket which he Immediately presented to
her. / wonder whether the money in the
purse paid his travelling expenses

CRAFTY PIT RIVER INDIANS.
They Secured Many Ponies in Spite of
Treaty Prohibition.

From the Milwaukee Sentinel.
Have you ever heard how a treaty be-
tween the Modoc and Pit River Indians,
way out in eastern Oregon, was nullif1ed?"
asked NJ. T. Rogers, while discussing from
tier and early day experiences. THE two
tribes were at constant warfare with each
other long years ago, and the fortunes Oh
war varied. Some seasons victory would
be with the Pit Rivers and at other times
their hereditary enemies. the Modocs
would subjugate them. Upon one occasion
the Modocs managed to capture the entire
band through some strategy, and when they
counted noses it was found that captors
and captured were about equal in number.
When the necessary guards were supplied
to keep the prisoners from escaping it was
found that there We're not enough Modocs
left to do the hunting or go on the war
path.
Finally council was held and the chiefs
reached an agreement for a treaty of peace
between the two tribes. The condition of
the treaty was that the Pit River Indians
were never again to own horses, this being
required because the Modocs could easily
keep them under control without horses to
do their marauding. The captured band re-
turned to their hunting grounds and estab-
lished villages, but were without horses
for number of years.
Attracted by the excellent sheep range
rIncnlneH from NORTHERN tdll-
fornia invaded the Pit River country and
brought with them large herds of ponies TO
be used in rounding UP. The Indians look
ed with longing upon the horses, and finally
the ranchmen learned the band was with
out ponies. When the fall weather came
and corrals were found necessary the
ranchmen entered into an agreement for
the services of the Indians to supply rails
to fit up corrals. The Indians refused pay
for the work done, but took ponies instead
They also refused to accept full pay. in
sisting upon owing the ranchmen a balance
upon each pony secured, that the title
remained In the name Of the whites.
THE Modocs, learning that their enc
mics had been supplied with ponies I'm vio-
lation of the treaty. made a raid. but were
informed that the ponies were not the prop
erty of the Pit River Indians. but belonged
to the white men. Through these methods
the ranchmen secured the use of valuable
grazing ground for many years, and the
Indians found a way of getting around the
treaty."

ONLY NATION OF HUsTLERS.

Suggests 81 Question.

We are the only nation Of hustlers,

rest of the world cannot be entirely
wrong and we alone right in the con
duct and object Of life, says the Hart
ford Times. The Germans and the
French work for q certain number of
hours with a steady but not a feverish
industry, and then they enjoy them
selves in what we would consider a
rather childish way. They gather in
their cafes or beer gardens with their
families and chat good-humorsdly
about trivial sl'hs. -sis. Even the Eng
lish, though a%boundiag in physical en-
crgy, take life easily.
They seem to us to make too much
of their leiaprely game of cricket. But
all these nations have accomplished
great things, not only in science, art
and literature, but in the material ad-
vance of civilization. They do not ex-
pend nervous energy as rapidly as we
do, and in consequence the period OF
life work among their men is longer.
They do not consume life sc fast. May
it not be that they, in their old-fash-
toned way, are wiser than we? They
have emboL.ed their views of life in
proverbs like these: "More haste
worse speed" "He who goes slowly
goes far" tits the pace that kills"
and others to the same purport, and
~overbs are entitled to respect. be-
cause they embody the VISION OF hui
manity. There is no proverb enjoin~

The man who, when struck violent
