This was at II O'Clock. and before

Code word, but strictly in opposition to
it and sinful and wrong" He elabora-
ted the points that it 10 not legiti mate
business, but actually sinful and against
divine command; that its basic principle
Is not charity but self-interest, covet-
BUSINESS and greed OF gain; that az an in
stitution, it is the fruit OF unbelief; that
it offers continuous temptation and
very often becomes the cause of great
wrong, SIN and crime by both the indi-
vidual insured and those Ia whose favor

Two Wealthy Women GIYe $3.50,

lChicago Inter ocean,

John Alexander. the Zion City
apostle, has just been made the re-
cipient of two gifts aggregating $l60.
00O. according to an unofficial an
nouncment made in the comm UNITY
yesterday.
OF this sum $3.50. 600 comes from a
woman in Scotland. The donation of
$40, 00J is from second woman, but
the names of both are secret.
The news OF these gifts has made a
STIR among the denizens OF Zion, and
is being pointed out as proof of the
infallIDility of the prophet, who, ac-
cording to his enthusiastic followers,
has never failed to execute success
flu! coup in times of emergency. 4
The fact that on December IL the
Apostolic Church would be compelled
to meet a payment of $780, on the
receivership debt has been givin g
those IN charge of the community's
finances good deal of worry.
There was not much moEey in sight.
apparently. but John Alexander did
not exhibit any anxiety. Yesterday,
when the announcement of the two
gifts was made, the fact was cited as
evidence that the overseer of Zion
usually gets what he wants.
The payment due in December is 40
per cent. Of the original debt. $500, 600.
The principal and interest will be met
without affecting the re-
,nnrces of Zion.

NNE'S friends may certainly be counted among
l J those who prove themselves of friendly
vice though they be hereditary foes.
Thus while they still hostiles certain incidents
of my early frontering put both Spotted Tail and
Sitting Bull the list of my friends
Something more than year after General Miles
had chased Sitting Bull into Canada it was my
fortune to be of the party of Raymond Bonhomme,
Indian trader, who went north with train of
goods to buy buffalo robes of the Sioux under this
doughty chief. We left Fort Benton in the last
week of September on the report that Sitting
Bulls Indians had made big kill at Pak-oghkee
Lake, in what is the Province of Assiniboia.
We moved as far the Crossing on Milk River
and there camped to a stone heap :. cairn
which marked the United States boundary
Here Bonhomme sent forward Il half breed scout
to find the Sioux and report his readiness to trade
with them After four days tbs messenger returned
to say that Sitting Bull was camped at Grass Ioules
some forty miles distant, and that the Chief ana
Indians would there await the trader coming
This was not what we wanted eonnomme had no
license 10 trade in Canada and SO word was de-
spatched to Sitting Bun that if the Sioux wished to
trade their robes it would be necessary for them to
move down to the Line"
There wer= some days of delay and then came
Sitting 5,1il and hundred of his Sioux.
Thcg came strnging down Milk River in little
e4uads. leading ponies packed with robes, and
pitched their tepees mile above where
there was better grass than at our camp
After a decorous wait of twenty-four hours,
which was chiefly to prove that parties the
ground anxious to trade, Bonhomme made
the first move that the etiquette of the
situation. The second morning he sent messenger
to inform Sitting Bull that would call him
when the sun was four hands high
AS my status that of visitor Bonhomme
kindly asked me to accompany him and his inter-
prefer on this visit to the Chief Presently Sitting
Bull sent word that he would receive us at the time
appointed and at about eleven o'clock A. M we
stopped through the tsyopa of his lodge, to find
OF middle age, stern face and semi civilized dress
seated upon a robe at the back of the tepee, and
at his left Pretty Bear subchief of fighting fame
Sitting Bull reached a hand to each of us and babe
be seated in his front
We knew well that he could talk English, but
also that it his usual whim not to do so. And
SO the conversation have to record came to Bon
homme through his interpreter.
Well,' he said, you have come to trade with
mel"
We have driven up here, answered Bonhomme,
thinking you might have some robes to swap
And why could you come to me on Grass
Coueel" asked the Chief
Il think you should know" said Bonhonrne
that cannot go SO far into Canada with our
goods, which there would be liable to seizure
We can trade safely with you only own ground.
You have crossed the line little. This
was to get water and good grass and for no other
