While thousands of white settlers
are arriving at the new stations along
the Pacific Coast extension of the Mil
waukee & st. Paul Railroad in South
Dakota, and while they have secured
many hundred sections of the farming
lands, when Allotting Agent Gunder-
son, of the Indian Department, fin
ished allotting one-fourth of the Sioux
reservation to the Indians the white
settlers realized they had serious COM
petitors in the red men.
For the first time in the history OF
the Sioux Indian Nation, the old as
we'll as the young members of the
tribe have taken a keen interest in
farming, and they have selected nun
dreds of farms composed of the best
land in South Dakota. The old people
have picked their land mostly along
streams, and where there is an abun-
dance of small timber, but the young
Indians have selected the level pra1-
RE lands. In some instances the Sioux
Indians would overlook, and lands COW
eted by the men and women who have
come from Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota,
Indiana and Ohio have been given to
Indians.
Practically all the good land in some
localities now belongs to the Indians.
Some of the more advanced Indians
and the mixed bloods have secured
steam traction engines and the big
steam breaking plows, and thousands
of acres will be broken this fall. The
Indians buy the best of farming ma
.chinery and the big steam ploWs are
the favorite machines for breaking the
fertile prairies. These plows cost
money. but the Yankton-Sioux Indians
are in the plutocratic class. In the
mast twelve months R. j. Taylor, Uni
ted States Indian agent, has paid them

Dir. Scheri. Il we'll known physician in
Berlin, Germany, and an authority on
national hygiene, has made singular
proposal to the Berlin town council,
which this body is now considering,
says Berlin correspondent of the
London Chronicle. DR.. ScherPs pro-
posal is that the town council should
build airy pavilions at several points
Of the city at about 100 feet above the
level of the streets. These pavilions
would be supported on strong steel
frames and reached by elevators. Their
purpose is to afford rest and refresh
ment and good air to citizens weary of
the maddening noises, the unrest and
the noxious smells of the streets.
There would be plenty of seats up in
those airy pavilions. plenty of flowers.
good beer. lemonade, water, music and
other enjoyments AS to the question
of cost. DR.. Scherl is certain that his
pavillons would pay, especially as no
rent would be necessary, and, far from
being eyesores, the pavilions might be
graceful and artistic erections, adding
considerably to the beauty of the
streets.

FALL SNAKE STORIES.
Caught Fifteen Hundred Feet of the
Kissing Reptiles,


S. F. AGREE, manager Of the Currier
ranch, near Greedy, Colo, recently cap
tured 253 rattlesnakes ranging in
length from 3 to 4 feet, on a sandy
knoll less than one-half mile from the
ranch
Acree, who probably has caught
more rattlesnakes than any other one
man in Colorado, procured the snakes
for a Denver tobacconist, who keeps
an exhibit of the snakes II his window
The Denver man offered to pay Acree
81 a foot for all the rattlers he could
catch, not believing that the supply
was practically unlimited on the Cur
rier ranch. AGREE and his partners set
at work Systematically to earn the
money.
They built large wooden box with
q hinged cover and then armed with
pitchforks went on a snake hunt.
When the snake coiled ready to
strike one of the men lifted it on his
fork while the other lifted the lid of
the box and the snake was soon
prisoner.
When the men had completed their
search for the reptiles they had
enough to represent $500, according
to contract The Denver man was as
tonished at the number and size OF
the reptiles, but finally settled by pay
| ing 81 a head.

Friends of Mr.. Brown tell a good story
OF how he got the inspiration to became
lawyer. His father who settled on a home
stead in Iowa, where Norris Brown was
born, was the village collector, school d.
rector and various other things. His salary
was per cent of his collections and the
sum was to be withheld from the money
turned over 10 his successor. But the
elder Brown was his own successor and he
was not sure whether it was morally or
legally right for him to hold out the fee
when he merely turned the money over TO
himself. when he already had the money.
So one bright day he saddled up his horse,
pitched Norris up behind him and rode
into town to consult a lawyer. The lawyer
without a moments hesitation wrote him
out an opinion in the matter and handed
It over with the remark IS please" II
had taken him less than three minutes to
write the opinion.
Going home that afternoon young Norris
said:
Dad wasn't that a heap OF money for
that little work."
THAT opinion was worth SIS TO me-" re-
piled the senior Brown.
The young Brown got home I'm a deep
brown study and within a very short time
he announced the farm had lost its charms
and he intended to become a lawyer.
