story:
I'VE have in Connecticut said hs,
many descendants of the first immi-
grants TO America, and probably some
of every kind that have come since.
But we have also one small group
whose ancestors never saw Europe.
In the eastern part of the State
there is a little remnant of the ogirinal
Connecticut tribes, whom the people
call the last Of the Mohicans.' They
have their own church and Il pastor of
the old Indian stock. Before l came to

Of people to find out the sentiment CO

others l spoke to this native clergy,

grafton; but I hope you'll have better
luck than my ancestors had 250 years
ago. New York Press.

During the recent war in the Trans
vaal, when the soldiers going to the
front were passing another body of sol
diers whom they recognized, their
greeting used to be, "Four-nine-four,
boys, four-nine-four," and the salute
would invariably be answered with
six further on, boys, six further on"
The significance of this was that, in

A Costly Joke.

A woman Of Bochum, says a vi
emma dispatch, wishing to give her
young nephew, living in a neigh
boring town, pleasant surprise,
bought little tablet of chocolate
and posted it to him in an envelope
marked "Value $25,Oo0.." The
package, on account of its high de-,
clared value, attracted the notice
of the postal authorities, who de-
manded Sd extra fee on delivery.
The nephew, suspecting a hoax, re-
fused the letter, which was duly rs-
turned to Bochum and the sender
advised. The woman, half ashamed.
declared that the envelope contain
ed nothing of real value, but it was
pointed ont to her that the contents.
whatever they might be, were de-,
clared to be worth $25, 900 and she
must pay. The poor woman signed
the receipt, but then was told, to
her dismay, that double fee had
been incurred owing to the return
of the letter. She paid SO without
further complaint.

THE TREASURY
CASH ACCOUNT
large Increase In Volume Of Money
During The Year.
THE MOST OF IT WAS GOLD

Report Of Urted States Treasurer
Shows Larger Cash Balance, That
There Is a Balance Instead Of a
Deficit, and Gives interesting Fiscal
Faets-The Big Stock Of Gold.
Washington, Oct. 3l.--In his annual
report to the secretary of treasury
some important fiscal facts are set
forth by Charles H. Treat, treasurer
of the United States.
1t is stated in the report that the
treasury's holdings of gold con
tinues to attract the attention of
financiers both at home and abroad.
1t is apparent from the continued ac-
emulation that large share of the
product of the gold pines of the world
is brought to the U1fhted States The
gold coin and bullion in the treasury
June 80, 1905, amounted to $706,592,-
399, and at the close Of the fiscal year
1906 it advanced to SS07,O51,6 800 BY
$S77 7,296,23S.
The monetary stock of the country
took on a growth during the year Of
$186, 6,S66727, of which $11S,050777 was
in gold; $5,450,396 in silver and $685.
392,554 in national bank notes, while
the treasury notes decreased S2,027,-
600. The aggregate stock Of money at
the close Of the year was $3,069,9 &c.,
sol. of which $2,736,646,62S was in
circulation
The national bank notes presented
for redemption during the year
amounted to $296,293,SS5 as against
$30S, ,760 in 1906.
The United States paper currency
issued amounted to $629, $4,000 and
the redemptions were $577,445, 100, a
net increase in the volume outstand-
ing Of $52.450,900.
The available cash balance June
90, 1906, was $1SO,6S9, 1854, an increase
of s35,611 ,S62 as compared with that
of 12 months earlier.
The ordinary revenues and expend-
itures for the fiscal year 1906 was a
surplus of s25,669322, as compared
with a deficit of s23,004,2 ,22S for the
preceding year. A continuation of
these conditions is reflected in the
transactions for the first quarter OF
the current fiscal year, in which reve-
nues were s5,S71,3 in excess of the
expenditures.
The national bank repositories
have been utilized during the year as
a medium through which the exces-
sive accumulation of money in the
treasury was restored to the channels
OF trade. About April 1 an unusual
stringency in the money market was
relieved by the temporary increase of.
public deposits with depository banks
to enable them to import gold
Through this aid more than $4,000
900 in gold was imported. The bal
ance in banks to the credit of the
general fund was O2,7OS, ,t23. the
highest point reached during the tls-
cal year.

INDIANS lNTRENCHED.
They Are Not Painted Nor Dancing
but They Mean to Fight.

Billings, Mont, Oct. 81. - A tele.
phone message from Arvada, Wyo.,
states that the renegade Indians are
intrenched in a strong position in the
hills and that the Tenth and Sixth
cavalry corps are accommodating the
country preparatory to closing in on
them. Apparently the object of the
troops is to meet the Indians with a
display Of superior force and thus Sc
cure their surrender without blood
she'd The Utes are determined not
to give in until compelled, believing
surrender will mean their return TO
Utah, where they say they can not
secure enough to eat The Utes Sc
cured large supply Of ammunition at
Cheyenne and Gillette and If the tenn
per OF the leading tribesmen can be
taken as an indication they propose
to fight, or at least make show of
resistance and secure concessions
from the soldiers pending an appeal
to Washington The Utes are not
painted nor are they dancing Advices
from Moorhead state that panic is
on there and women and children are
being removed from the scene. 1t is
feared that, in the event of a clash
between the soldiers and Indians, the
Indians will scatter and work ven.
geance upon the settlers. The ranches
are being converted into fortresses.
