The fur trade of North America has
always been largely conducted on the
principle of barter, writes Duncan
Macarthur in the New England Mag
azine. The transactions with the In
dams are carried on in very simple
manner. When hunter brings in his
collection Of furs to any trading post.
which he usually does twice year. in
October and March, he is taken to the
trading room, where the official in
charge carefully examines. classifeS
and values each skin, and when the
whole pack is gone over he hands the
Indian a number of TALES, or small
pieces Of wood or metal, each repre-
senting the value of made beaver"
and the whole representing the value
of the entire catch. The Indian then
proceeds to TIE storeroom and selects
such articles as he reQuires-blanketS,
CapCtS, guns, knives. tea, tobacco, etc
in payment for which he hands back
his tallies until they are all gone and
his purchasing powers are exhausted.
He then departs. another hunter takes
his place and is dealt with in Il similar
manner, and so on until all the furS
in possession of the whole band of In
dianS have passed into the hands of the
trader. Formerly it was customary to
give good huntcr dram and some
small presents in appreciation of his
industry.

The SiOHr muttcrcd PitHty sHOlr.'
a going-out that unsettled the oldest
calculator in the Wic&iup. Brodic's
old friends began coming out of the
upper country, out of the Spider valley.
Over the Eagle pass and through tn
Peace canyon the Sioux came in parties
and camps and tribes, out and down
and into the open country And Bucks
stayed them and talked with them
Talked the great white father and the
ghost dance and the bad agent. But
the Sioux grunted and did not talk;
they Travelled. Then Bucks spoke of
good hunting far, far south. If they
were uneasy Bucks was willing they
should travel far for it looked like Il
rising. Some kind of a rising it must
have been to take the Indians out of
winter quarters at such time. After
Bucks, HALEY tried, and the braves lis
tened, for they knew Haley, and when
he accused them of fixing for fight they
shook their heads, denied and turned
their faces to the mountains. They
stretched their arms straight out under
their blankets, like stringers, and put
out their palms, downward, and NUT
tered to HALEY:
"Plenty snow"
Il reckon they're lying" said Bucks,
listening. There's some deviltry up.
They're not the kind to clear out for
snow"
Now, the Spider wakes regularly
twice; at all other times irregularly.
Once in Aprl-that is the foothills wa
ter; once in June-that is the mountain
water. And the June rise is like this
-. But the April rise is like this
~.
Now came an April without any rise;
that April nothing rose - except the
snow I've shall get it all together"
suggested Bucks one night.
"Or will it get us altogetherY asked
HALEY.
"Ether way" said Callahan, sit will
be mostly at once"
May opened bleaker than April; even
the trackmen walked with set faces;
the dirtiest half breed ON the line knew
now what the mountains held. At last.
while we looked and wondered, came a
very late Chinook; July in May; then
the water.
Section gangs were doubled and
track walkers put on. By-passes were
opened, bridge crews strengthened, ev-
erythinG buckled for grief. Gullies
began to race, culverts to choke creeks
to tumble, rivers to madden. From
the Muddy to the Summit the water
courses swelled and boiled-all but the
Spider; the big river slept. Through May
and into June the Spider slept but Hal
leywas there at the Wickiup always and
with one eye running over all the line,
zone eye turned always to the Spider,
where two men and two night and
day, watched the lazy surface water
trickle over and through the vagabond
bed between Hailey's monumental
piers. Never an hour did the operating
department lose to the track. East and
west of us railroads everywhere clam
ored in despair. The flood reached
from the Rockies to the Alleghenies.
Our trains never missed a trip; our
schedules were unbroken; our people
laughed; we got the business, dead
loads Of it, our treasury flowed over,
and HALEY watched, and the Spider
slept
Big Ed Peeto, still foreman of the
bridges, hung on Hailey's steps and
nied with his staring, swearing eye to
make it all out; to guess what HALEY
expected to happen, for it was plain he
Was thinking. Whether smoking or
epeaking, whether waking or sleeping,

THE ENGLISH WINSTON CHURCHILL.
mon name, but winston is, and it is
a singular coincidence that two men
bearing these names and not kinsmen
should be prominent in literature. The
coincidence is further emphasized by
the fact that both are novelsts and pol
iticians, are young men and were
trained in the arts of war. one being
educated for the army, the other the
navy The Winston Churchill who has
just written a biography of his father
is an Englishman. the third son of the
late Lord Randolph Churchill. and his
full name is Winston Lionel Spencer

in 1874, has served in four wars as war
correspondent for London papers, had
a marvellous escape from a Boer prison
in the South African war, inherited
$20,000,000 from an uncle and is now
winning fame as an orator in the house
of commons. His mother, who after
the death Of Lord Randolph Churchill
married George CORVALLIS West. is the
daughter of the late Leonard jerome of
New York
The American Winston Churchill was
born in st. Louis in 1871, graduated
from the Naval academy at Annapolis
and for a time served in the navy, has
been an editor and has served in the

A Way Some Women Have.
l have heard that women are dis
honest in the way of sending to mil
liners for boxes Of hats on approval,
keeping them for week, and, when
they return them with q note to say
that none suits, the owners find that
each has been worn once, if not sew
eral times, and this fact is betrayed
by innumerable pin holes. l certainly
myself have known women who are
not above sending for clothes on ap
probation, carefully taking the pat
tern and getting them copied by a
