MORE SCARED THAN HURT.
Threatened Indian Invasion OF valley
County IL O Harmless Affair.

1t appears that the appropriation OF
land in Valley county by Indian fami-
lies from North Dakota was viewed
with alarm" to 40 unnecessary extent,
and that the vigorous protests sent to
w ashington were based upon a mis-
understanding of the matter. The sit.
uation il explained by the Culbertson
S%earchlight, which says:
The writer has learned from good
authority this week there are only
about twelve families OF Turtle Noun
tain Indians who intend to settle in
the east end of Valley county. and
will take lands north of Lake creek.
John Martell Is the head of q Of
these families and came here a couple
OF years ago. He belonged to the
Turtle Mountain tribe and was given
some of the scrip. He and his family
aud a couple of relatives have taken
| up about three sections about 30 miles
north Of Culbertson. John says he
was one of the Indian council which
was held to decide what Indians We're
entitled to scrip aud what ones be.
longed in Canada, aud he knows what
he Is talking about.
Martell says there are only about
300 families given scrip and 100 OF
them have already taken land around
White Earth, N. d. About 100 fami-
lies will also stay on the reservation,
as two townships were set apart for
them. The other Indians, who did not
like to move. are staying there. This
leaves only about 100 families and
many of them have already chosen
their h~omesteads, scattered around 10
different places. along the Great Nor
thern between DEVILS Lake and Viii
liston. Quite a number, about forty
families, settled north Of Willistor
last fall.
John is positive that only twelve
families. Or about 80 people in all,
will choose land in this vicinity. HI
says they are not bad citizens, either
that they have been TO school aut

Also each member of family receive
a certain amount from Uncle San
every year for ten years, which vii
help them put up houses, fences
, barns, etc. Most Of those comm.
here already own horses, cows, chick
ems, ETC., and are q good deal Xix

The Coming Airship.

We should hesitate about turning up

machine which, though it now sticks
closer to the earth than poor relation
to a rich uncle, may some day force
US to turn up our noses to see it as 1t
condescends to look down on us.
Tall oaks from little acorns grow,

who could swear that what you told
was so?
1t is only ten years ago that the auto.
mobile picked itself up bodily by the
tires and lifted itself out of the toy
class. and who can tell but what the
flying machine may give itself similar
treatment? Then, again, the future

THE SOLAR SYSTEM,
Some Facts Which Give an Idea of
It's immensely.

Some Facts Which Give an Idea of
It's Immensity.
In all the heavens, with the excep-
ton of passing meteors or meteorites,
not one body occupies position closer
to earth than the moon, which Is some
100000 miles away very far, of
course, side by side with any earthly
distances, but a mere fraction side by
side with other astronomical distances.
Next to the moon our nearest occasion
al neighbor is Venus, and then Mars.
Both Venus and Mars, however, are
often farther away from us than the
sun, which remains always at some
where about the same distance, rough
ly at from 100000 to 90, 100000 miles.
This dividing space between sun and
earth is Of great Importance in think
ing about the stars, and it should be
clearly impressed upon the mind.
Next to the sun in point of nearness
come the more distant planets-Jupiter,
which is about five times as far from
the sun as our earth is; Saturn, nearly
twice as far as Jupiter; Uranus, near
~ twice as far as Saturn, and Neptune,
nearly three times as far as Saturn. All
these planets belong to our sun, all
are members of his family, all are part
of the solar system. The size of the
solar system as whole, consisting
thus Of the sun and his planets, includ
ing our earth, may be fairly well grasp
ed by any one taking the trouble to
master two simple facts. They are
these, that our earth is roughly about
92,Oo0,Oe0 miles away from the sun
and that Neptune. the outermost PLAN
ct of the solar system. is nearly thirty
times as far distant from the sun as
our earth is.-Cbambers' Journal.
Old Time Acting. -
The old time actor bad peculiar and
primitive views as to elocution and its
uses. l remember q certain old friend
Of mine who, when he recited the open
ing speech in Richard III and arrived
at the line, ''In the deep bosom of the
ocean buried" suggested the deep hos
ON of the ocean by sending his voice
into his boots. Yet these were fine
actors, to whom certain young gentle
men who never saw them constantly
refer. The methods of the stage have
completely changed and with them the
tastes of the people. The probability
is that some of the old actors of only
a few years ago would excite much
merriment in their delineation of trag-
edy. A very great tragedian Of a past
generation was wont in the tent scene
in Richard Ill" to hold a piece OF
soap in his mouth. so that, after the ap
pearancc of the ghosts. the lather and
froth might dribble down his chin. and
he employed moreover. trick sword
which ratified hideously. and. what with
his foam fiecked face. his rolling eyes
his inarticulate groans and his rafting
blade, the small boy in the gallery
was scared into. a, frenzy. of vociferous
delight.-Richards1iansfeld in,Atlautia
