GUARDING GOLD DEPOSITS.
Such Duty Credited by Indians to thu
Manitou.

Such Duty Credited by Indians to the
Manitou.
Drawing the terrible wrath OF TIE
manitou, believed by the Indians On
the north Pacific coast and in the
Spokane country to guard the gold
deposits, Chief Louis Good, head of
the red men at Nanaimo, B. c., mas
invited braves of the Spokane, Col
vile, Yakima and Neg Perez tribes to
join his party in an expedition into
the interior of Vancouver island. in
an endeayor TO find the source of the
yellow metal from which his fore
fathers shaped the golden bullets
used in the muskets supplied by the
Hudson's Bay company.
According to advices received by
couriers in Spokane Chief Good, who
is an educated Indian, will meet the
braves at Nanaimo the first week in
August, and it is purposed to start
for the wilds of the interior no later
than August 7, the expedition to be
equipped for a stay of three months.
If necessary. There will be %
braves and chieftains in the party,
with pack horses and supplies.
The Indians have a legend there
IS a stream on The island in which
native gold exists in lodges so
prominent that their forebears broke
it off with tomahawks and stone
battle axes and beat it into bullets.
Some OF them believe. too, that
strange gods stand watch over the
deposits and that death will over
take those who attempt to take the
gold. Several parties of white men
have tried 10 find the stream, but
failed after long expeditions.
Chief Good has no fear of the
supernatural, says the invitation TO
the Spokane trfbesmen, but he
knows the trip into the interior de-
mands much courage and endurance,
The way being long and difficult. He
wants you to join him"

old bones. Now it possesses in its
snout this peculiar virtue, that when
its nose approaches anything hard,
such as bones, those tough substances
instantly grow soft and enable the

keep this charm hanging round your
neck, the proximity of the hyena's

WHY SHE MARRIED HIM.

toned in Kamtschatka, or some other
heather land.
Il never could understand why she
married him." said the young woman.
She seemed the last girl on earth to
marry bishop. She cared so much
more for theaters and concerts than
she did for church work and sewing
circles"

said a young man, and they gener-

EMPTIED HER WINE CELLAR.
Mrs. John 3. Henderson not only
breaches teetotalism and vegetarian
ism, but practices them. Becoming
convinced that wine, beer and spirits
were only posons, she emptied the
contents Of her wine cellar into the
gutter. thereby astonishing the host
of her Washington friends and max
ing sad many who hal fond recollec-
tions of slipping the choice viptages it
had been her wont to serve at her
hospitable table.
Washington society had almost
grown to enjoy dining off fruits, nuts
and vegetables at her house, for she
had imported from Europe a famous
chef, who served her vegetarian menu
with consummate art. But when 1t
saw the torrent of port and sherry,
champagne, whisky, beer and cordials
stream down the hill from boundary
castle it cried out in horror.
Mrs. Henderson is the wife OF
former Senator John B. Henderson of
Missouri Boundary castle, their
home, is one Of the most palatial resi-.
dences in the capital, and stands upon
a hill overlooking the city.
Mrs. Henderson has been best
known as a leader of society. She
takes keen delight in following out
her hyglenic studies and finds time
for them in the busiest of the seasons.
She has many other interests, but the
study of hygiene comes foremost.
One of her particular p~ts is her dog,
Rover, a strong adherent of the cause
his mistress advocates. Rover was
once behind the bars of the local
pound. and things looked mighty
gloomy for him, when Mrs. Hender-
son came in in search Of bulldog
which she had lost. Rover sat over
I in corner looking pleadingly at the
visitor. and the longing in his eyes
proved to much for Mrs. Henderson.
She paid the 50 and took Rover home
with her. The dog was put on vege-
table diet, and although he is 10
years old he is in splendid health.
Mrs Henderson was Miss Mary y.

mary to be held June 10Th 1906.
If nominated and elected, I shall

leaders as President Roosevelt and
Senator LaFollette. I shall endeavor
to promote the enactment of just laws
and an economical administration of
state affairs. I am now, and always
have been, opposed to the dictation of
the Observation-Disclosures machine in
political affairs of the state. One of
the most important issues to be fought
out before the next legislative assem-
bly, will be the extension of the pres

the present primary law so as to
include all elective officers and U. S.
Senators. l heartily believe in the
law prohibiting the sale of intoxicat-

oppose any legislation tending to
weaken its present efficiency and shall
favor any reasonable legislation that
may make it more effective.
