had a soul as white as the snow-covered
summit of Mount Shasta"
SO said Joaquin Miller, the poet of the
Sierras, when asked for the history of
Mrs. James Brock. the Indian woman
who died recently in Redding.
Rumor said Mrs. Brock was the for
mer wife of Miller and many romantic
stories were current regarding their at
tachment. Miller rudely shattered this
romance when he declared today that
while he owed his life to the Indian
woman, and had always regarded her as
one of his best friends, that their re-
latiOns were always platonic.
The aged poet told Il graphic story of
the battle of Castle Rock in 1875. when
he was badly wounded by the hostile
Modocs. and declares had it not been for
the untiring care of the Indian princess
he would have died from the effects of
his wounds.
The Shasta tribesmen were all my
friends" said the poet. ''WrOtatot, their
war chief. was the bitter enemy of the
Modocs, and when the pioneers en-
gagged the latter tribe in battle at Castle
Rock the Shasta tribe fought side by
side with them
Il was wounded through the head
with an arrow, and shortly afterward
through the body by a bullet. Wrotatot
was killed early in the battle, and his
brother, Orlatotat, took command, but
also received his death wound.

Jim Brock, the noted scout, managed
to secure the release of Sutatot and mar

to civilization. They had several children

NEW LICENSE IS NECESSARY.
Attorney General Gives Opinion on Game
Legislation.

MADISON, Wis, July Even
though their licenses were marked III
red ink subject to change" by the game
warden department, fishermen on the
Mississippi river who took out licenses
under the old law cannot claim protec-
ton or credit in any way unde, the new
law.
Such is the opinion of Attorney Gen
eral Gilbert i'll response to an inquiry
from the game warden department. The
attorney general says the new law does
much more than simply increase the Ii,
cense fees. 1t in fact entirely repeats
many portions of the laws Of 1907 and
makes entirely new provisions, particu-
Iarly relating to the catching of rough
fish. Licenses granted under that law
are therefore revoked and afford no pro
lection TO the licenSee.

That Rarebit,

The arm chair took fearful mien
And straight a grinning orge stood,
Then faded to dragon green
That chased me through a purple wood.
A plebald cat hoped on his tail
And roared a rabald roundelay;
But vanished in crimson whale
Who swallowed him and found a way
To swim the mazes of reel,
While with his fin he beat the metre.
Until he fell a triflng meal
Before a monstrouS blue nosed 'skeeter.
And then a salmon colored snake
Wound convolutionS in the air.
Me thought 1t strange that he should make
a corkscrew for polar bear.
This polar bear was ceiling high,
And while he sucked a rummy flask
in Squeaking voice he sang of pie
And luscious bird seed by the cask.
An ancient frog then took his seat
And Steered my crank and creaking craft
Through seas of chocolate. where he beat
Against a wind that blew abaft-
From side to sidelong we were tossed
Until he cried. "A rock ahead,
Take to the sponge cakes We are lost"
A crash! I'd fallen out of bed.
