New York, Aug Extensive preparations are being made for the wedding of Helen Maloney, daughter of the Standard Oil millionaire of, Philadelphia and Samuel Clarkson, the young Englishman with whom she eloped more than year ago. It lis expected that the marriage will take place at Spring Lake, N. J., the latter part of this week. |.

 | Yesterday it was learned that Mme | Dunstan received an order last June flor the most extensive and complete trousseau ever prepared for bride,in this country. >.si | A forewoman in the establishment | of Mme Dunstan gives a general de- scription of the wedding gown. She says:
 The gown will be conventional in design, but the materials will repre- sent the richest lace and satins pro- curable. Yards upon yards of the fin est lace will trim the s10,000 dress and the veil, of great length and beautiful design, will come from Brussels, and alone cost 5000.

CATCHING MUSTANGS.
The Wise Way the Indians Used for Generations.

The rope was rarely or never thrown over the head of animals to be taken by the ordinary method of throwing a lasso, but was passed over the head on the end of a long, light willow pole-sometimes 12 or 15 feet long. One part of the moose was tied at the end of this pole and two or three feet back from the end another part was tied, both with light strings. The rope ran back along the pole to the riders hand. When he ran a horse down, so that he had come up beside 1t, 1t was not difficult to pass the moose over the animals head and the small loop stopped about it's neck and did not fall down low against the chest. When the moose had been passed over the head the rider gave pull on the pole, which broke the light strings and allowed the moose to draw up on the animals neck. He then dropped the pole, and gradual ly shortening the rope, fode up be- side the animal, and by dexterous throw passed loop of the rope up over the horses nose, which gave him good control over it.
 Horse chasers usually rode up on the right hand side of the horse to be captured and. after giving the pull on the pole which frightened the moose and freed the pole. the pole was pulled across the mans body and thrown away on his right hand side. while the loose end of the rope was dropped down at the riders left hand-that Is, between the horse he was riding and the one he was capturing. The purpose of this was to avoid the danger of becoming entangled in the rope in case of any accident, such as the falling of a horse or the exhibition of unusual strength on the part of captured animal. This was one of the special directions given to young men by old horse runners.
 It is said that the Kiowa taught them the proper method of throwing down the loose end of the rope. hay ing themselves learned by experi- ence the danger of getting entan- gled in it if 1t were dropped on the outside, and so across the rid- CTS body.-Forest and Stream.

MAIL CARRYING FAR NORTH.
Hardships of the Indian Post
 men.

Those of us who live in cities or towns where the postman comes twice or three times a day ind It hard to realize what it must mean to be months without a letter. Our missionaries in the far north must often go for half year without any news from the world outside, and the arrival of the mail carrier is a great event. When the late pr Bompas was bishop of Mackenzie river, with headquarters at Fort Simpson, letters came generally twice a year, by boat in summer, by dog team in winter, the journey be- ing made from post to post by some usually much soiled and worn from handling at the various posts, and if the envelopes were at all transpar- ent, knowledge of their contents, to the bishops great annoyance, was not always restricted to the ad- dressee. .a
 One time, says H. A. Cody, in his just published life of Bishop Bompas, an Indian courier, hurrying forward with the mail, broke through the ice with his dog team dogs, man and letters getting thor Oughly soaked. It was a very cold day, so he made for the shore, and, making a good fire, dried his clothes. Then he took time to reflect upon the state of the letters. He gazed sadly upon them, knowing how pre- cious they were to those waiting for them at the fort. and finally a brilliant idea occurred to him.
 He took the so.led and wet let ters out of their envelopes and stacked them around the fire where they would dry, but not burn. When the process was completed he began to replace them, but unfortunately he had never learned to read, so into envelopes addressed to Bishop Bom- pas went letters meant for the off, cers of the Hudson bay company, or messages from some girl at home to her far away lover, the bishops let ters of course meeting the same fate. Thinking he had done very well, the Indian pushed on, and was greatly astonished at the excitement which the distribution of the mail produced It was not until he had explained his adventure that the hGmor of the sit uation was seen and the mail pro- perly redistributed. -
 Great hardships are often under gone by these mail carriers in the cold season. Mir Cody tells of an in- stance where. provisions failing ow- ing to the depth of the snow, all the dogs died but one, who was kept alive on a boiled moosehide. The Indians left part of the mail behind hung up in a tree, and brought on only the larger packages. These were chiefly advertisements, and the letters, which had been anxiously looked for since the summer, did not arrive until a month later. It took between two and three weeks to do the last 25O miles of the journey One of the Indians had his little hoy in the sledge. and kept him alive and in good condition, despite the rigors of the journey. ey.-Churchman.

NEW BUG IN STATE.
And the Prospect is That It Will
 Make a Nuisance of Itself.


 A new bug has arrived. Foresters do not think of pruning oaks when the foliage is on them. but this new conner Is introducing that innovation. Under the white oaks that stand in the open land. and under some of the hickOries and naples small branches are to be found of late. Tn some places they litter the ground, and in other places there are but a few branches and twigs. The insect who Is doing this job isthe elaphidion vil- losum. who Is nicknamed the oak pruner." He does his work neatly and nicely. and belongs to the union of which the European leopard moth is the accredited head. He has not brought his life history with him. but it is probable that the gray. ma ture beetle lay their eggs in the small lateral twigs. where the larvae hatch. and have a good time eating out the soft wood, leaving nothing but the bark. The winds snap the twigs off. and the insect soon after being ex- posed to the open air, goes into the pupa state and later emerges as a mature beetle.
 Tn sections where the native birds are given a fighting chance by the English sparrow. a notable check is exerted on its ravaEes. For several years. in the southeastern part of the state. and as well In New Jersey and s5uIhern New York, the pruner has made a record As the b0rer Is liz- ble to be in that part Of the twig which falls. it iz recommended to gather the twizs and burn them. It Is said that the wocipecker. which never cares to al'zst 0n the ground. cannot resist the teuptation fo ex- anime the fallen twiss and extraet i the. insect In connection with the tale of this newcomer. it Is refreshing | to know that close and continued scouting by the EYpsF moth hunters have failed 10 discover any fndfea- tious of that pest al any p0irf in this vicinity.

AUTO MEET HERE.

Prospects are very good for an
automobile meet in this city to take
place at the fair grounds Nov. Z. A
large number of cars have already
been entered thus assuring the sue
cess of the meet, If all other arrange
ments can be completed. While a
half-mile track is not so apt TO pro-
duce as fast records as straight
away mile track. it is believed that
some rafting good records will be
established and that accidents or
fatalities may be avoided. The track
is in good condition lacking only the
proper grading for such speedy
events and with some reasonably
nervy drivers the Grand Junction
sporting public will be treated to
some fine exhibitions. 1t is to be
hoped that the meet will be pulled
off.
