WHERE INDIAN Is HONEST,
In. h Far North He breaks In, bu,
Not to Steal.

In. h Far North He breaks In, bus
Not to Steal.
Many curious instances Of the man
ner in which the honesty OF the Indian
manifests itself are cited in tue north
country OF the Canadian Northwest,
says the World To-Day.
[ One Of the tales Is Of a native who.
desiring food and tobacco and blan-
kets, broke into the store Of Il remote
trading post which had been locked
IL abandoned for a few weeks while
the white men in charge transacted
business elsewhere. The Indian sup
piled his needs and he left pelts In
payment for what he took and months
later he cane back to ascertain II he
had left enough.
One Indian found II post closed when
he went to it to dispose Of his skins.
Being unwilling to wait, he forcibly en-
tered and left his pack, but nothing
with 1t to indicate his Identity. Then
he retired, fastening the door as best
he could. and not until a year later did
he return.
When he walked into the post and
told his story the price Of the skins
was handed over to him without ques-
ton. The accounts Of the white man
had been carefully kept, and he was
certain that no claim but a just one
would be made.
An unusual degree Of confidence Is
reposed In the half breeds, who are
~lieutenants of the white traders. In
Edmonton saw a trader give one of
his half-breed employees $3.50 to be
taken to a distant post a",l there dis
tributed as wages to othe"s. The two
shook hands and part to meet
for a year. and the VIII ~ said he
was sure not q ent o. ...e TT ,ley would
fail to reach Its rishtful destination.
In the town Of Edmonton itself hon.
esty seems to vie with hospitality for
the credit of being the most prominent
trait Of the citizens. Scores of thous-
ands of dollars worth Of furs are
stored there in warehouses which are
seldom or never locked or guarded.
Only the most valuable pelts are put
under lock and key, and then the pur-
pose Is more to protect from accidental
damage than from possible theft.

THE LETTER I DID NOT SEND.
He was the friend of my boyhpod,

He was the friend of my boyhood,
My youth and my manhood's prime,
We had vowed to be ever faithful
To the end of our earthly time.
But somehow it happened we Quarreled
One word to another led;
And our eyes were flashing in anger
And bitter was all we said.
That night I wrote such a letter
AS one might write to a foe,
And told him that never thereafter
Would l wish his presence to know;
We must pass each other as strangers,
Our lives henceforward apart;
And let him know that forever
l had torn him out of my heart.
Then l sought my bed, still raging,
But l courted slumber in vain
The face of my more than brother
Rose before me ever again.
He was always so true beside me
And sharing all changes of life;
Our words had been always of loving
And never till now of strife.
And then our quarrel-what was III
How did it ever befall?
Perhaps he was right-yes, l know 1t,
1t was l in the wrong, after all.
Then l rose from my bed, took the letter,
And cast it into the fire;
And there saw it smolder in ashes;
And thus did my anger expire.
A fair morning shone On our meeting;
A look we could each understand
Had drawn us n C more together
In a warm, firm grasp of the hand.
Not a word was said OF our quarrel,
Again it was friend and friend,
Thank God that he never saw it
The letter 1 did not send!

Founded on Snow,

Every summer several astronomers
visit the Jansen Observatory, on the
extreme summit Of Mont Blanc, to take
advantage Of its great altitude, which
favors the study Of solar phenomena.
At present another effort is being made
there to photograph the suns corona
without an eclipse. The observatory ia
remarkable for having its foundation
laid in hard-packed snow. The build
ers found it impracticable to reach the
underlying rock. At a recent meeting
Of the Academy of Sciences in Paris,
Monsieur Jansen announced that the
measurement of level executed in
1904 and 1906 showed that during that
interval the observatory had not ap-
probably shifted in position.-Philadel-

SOLD SECRETS OF COURTS.

Discovery that Papers Were SteIeA
opens Up Far-Reaching Plot.
Secret service operatives are working
in Chicago to determine to what extent
government secrets in recent cases of
national Importance have been sold by
Miss Eta Mclean and Alexander B.
Goraee, who were held in 5000 conds
TO the grand jury on charges of con-
Spiracy and the theft of papers in the
John r. Walsh case.
Discovery of papers relating to the
Standard Oil trial ill., the room Of Miss
Mclean has led to the suspicion that
she and her confederate may have dis
closed government plans not only in the
Walsh case. but in the cases against
the Standard Oil, the Chicago and Al
ton railway, and the school book com
bine
Miss AIcLean's position as stenog-
rapher in District Attorney Sims Of
flee, which she held since April, gave
her ample opportunity TO obtain copies
of the most valuable papers in all these
cases. The fact that Gordee, her sweet
heart. was able TO live in idleness, DIN
ing at expensive restaurants, for the
past six months has made 1t apparent
he had some secret source OF income.
While the government officials feel
confident they have unearthed far
reaching conspiracy, they have yet to
learn its magnitude or to what extent
its operations have injured government
prosecutions. In the prosecution OF the

that the defendants knew in advance
