in vain for his temperance. Then
Conklin sprang upon the rail and

Buckley could not see his chum
and Conklin, realizing this, seized his
friends hands and pressed them to
apprise him that help was at hand.
Then Conklin began digging, using his
hands to scoop the sand from be-
meath his chum. He did not heed the
manner in which the sharp-edged
shells tore his fingers. Presently he
uncovered clam shell, and it is be-
lieved that Buckley owes his life to
that shell, for with it Conklin was able
to make quicker progress.
At last, almost exhausted for want
Of air, Conklin was able to- drag his

Relaxing.

Ten minutes Of perfect relaxation
gives more rest than hours of so-called
resting with tense muscles. Many a
woman has been heard to say after
arising from her siesta that she feels
more tired than before. It is not to
be wondered at, for her muscles were.
unrelaxed and her brain much dis,
turbed. Rest with utter abandonment
Of mind and body. Let the bed, couch
or chair bear the whole weight Of the
body. Imagine that you have notsthe
power to lift q; limb. Loosen all ten,
sion, and in a short time you will
feel renewed strength.

Goes West on Visit, Falls in Love
with Red Man and Marries Him
Now Carries Papoose on Back
and Wears Moccasins.

Lander, Wyo.-A daughter of one Of
New York's wealthiest and most widely
known hotel men, wearing moccasins
on her feet and parti-colored blank
ct over her shoulders and carrying q
papoose strapped to her back-this is
one Of the curious spectacles that will
be pointed out to the thousands of land
seekers from all parts of the country
who will come into this region when the
to settlement by the government next
spring. "
1t doubtless is perfectly safe to say
that there are few women in this world
who, for mere love of a man, would give
up New York for an Indian reservation,
for barbarism, wealth for poverty, silks
and satins for the coarse apparel of a
squaw, but that is what Grace Wether-
bee did. She did it, moreover, not for
love Of white man, man OF her own
race, but for love of a full FLOODED In
dian, who is now her husband and the
father of her child.
It is a strange tale, that of this daugh
ter of wealthy and widely-known New
Yorker and her red-skinned husband.
Grace Wetherbee's father is one of the
proprietors of the Manhattan hotel in
New York city. From her home in New
York, Miss Witherbee, six years ago,
came out to Fort Washable, 18 miles
east Of Lander, to visit the family of J.
X Moore, who was at that time post
trader there.
At the home of Mr.. Moore, Miss Weth-
erbee met Sherman Coolidge, full
blooded Arapahoe Indian, who was then
and still is conducting little Episcopal
mission at the Shoshone reservation, a
few miles distant from the fort.
1t was a case of love at first sight
the sort of love that laughs at locks and
keys and defies the world. Coolidge
called frequently at the home of the
post-trader to see Miss Wetherbee and
boldly and openly paid court to her.
Nor did she discourage his suit, as most
daughters Of wealthy men doubtless
would have done. Contrariwise, she en-
couraged it, and when, not long after
the couple first met, he asked her to be-
come his wife she promptly and un-
hesitatingly consented.
Since their marriage, Mr.. and Mrs.
Coolidge have lived happily together
and a child has been born to their union

GERMANY NEEDS
AMERICAN MEAT
Limited European Supply as Ar
gument for Dual Tariff
Law,
BY w. w. Jermane.

Washington, Dec. 2O.-An interesting
report comes to the department. of COM
merce and labor as to the total number
of cattle in Europe. The question of
meat supply has come to be Of such i'm
portance in Germany that statisticians
in that country have been laboring for
several months to ascertain how the cat
erence to national boundaries and that
! labor has Just been completed.
The results all point to the fact that
it will be necessary for Germany to I'M
port cattle from either the United
States or South America. if she is to
satisfy the requirements Of her people.
Austria Hungary, it is discovered, has
| 100000 head of cattle, France has
| 15,000,0O0, Switzerland has 1900, 900
| These figures show the countries named
possess about one-third as many head
| of cattle as the total number Of inhabit-
ants, Franco, however, having slightly
more.
Little Aid Near BY.
This means that neighboring Euro.
pean countries can be Of only small aid
in relieving the present urgent German
demand, and that that country must &c
across the sea for her supplies.
According to the census of 1900
United States has a cattle supply which
must be considered more and more care
fully by Europe, and especially by Ger
many, as supply in that part. of the
on'e-t third as many cattle as inhabitants
the United States has, Of meat cattle
alone-or it had in 1900-almost az
many as it had inhabitants, or tota
of 69,438,67S. This total does not in
clude COWS and calves.
In Argentine, which is the chief cat
tie producing country of South America
the number of cattle available for foot
purposes is believed here to be relative
ly as large as in this; country.
TO the New World.
So it is to either South America O.
North America that Europe in the en-
must look for it's permanent supplies
and the present situation in German,
merely emphasizes the fact that no
only is there scarcity of cattle in Eu
rope. but also of swine.
The United States is thus seen ulti
mately to be Europe's source for por]
products of all kinds. Our present mar
able trade conditions, are bound to b
enlarged from year to year. It is
great opportunity which the food ques
ton in Europe, especially as it relate
to meats, offers this country, and con
gress will undoubtedly take the situa
ton into account i'll deciding what i
will do, this session, with the maximum
and minimum tariff idea which has bee.
embodied in bill by Senator Lodge
and is to be thus embodied by Represen
tative McCleary of Mi. 1nesota l

minimum principle, by way of amend
ment to the Dingley tariff act, it is be
lieved, would insure this country
steadily increasing market all over Ell
rope for meat products of all kinds, an
in time this market will be more i'm port
ant than our market there for manufat
tured goods and general merchandise.
