by an act of grace on the part OF
his master.
For the first half hour nothing
occurred out OF the usual course
of events. The bee-hunter had
been conversing freely with his
companion, who, he rejoiced to
find, manifested far more common
sense, not to say good sense, than
he had previously shown; and
from whom he was deriving in
formation touching the number
of vessels, and the other move
ments on the lakes, that he fan
cied might be Of use to himself
when he started for Detroit. While
thus engaged, and when distant
only a hundred rods from the
place where he had left the ven-
ison, lie Bourbon was suddenly
struck with the movements of the
dog. Instead of doubling on his
own tracks, and seeming right
and left as was the animals wont.
he Was now advancing
cautiously, with his head
low, seemingly feeling his
way with his nose, as if there was
a strong faint in the wind.
"Sartian as my name is Ger
shom," exclaimed Warning, just
after he and Ben had come to a
halt, in order to look around them

Well. well-Pm about to move, and

"The chaps Winnebagoe by his
paint" added Gershom: "but let's
go up and give him call"
The bee-hunter assented to this
proposal, remarking as they NOV
ed forward, that he did not think
the stranger of the tribe just
named, though he admitted that
the use of paint was SO general
and loose among these warriors as
to render it difficult to decide.

exclaimed Gershom, stopping
within ten yards of the Indian, to
take another look at him.
"Hell never awake" put in the
bee-hunter, solemnly; "the man is
dead. See; there is blood on the
side of his head, and rifle-bullet
has left its hole there"
Even while speaking, the bee
hunter advanced, and raising a
sort of shawl, that once had been
used as an ornament, and which
had last been thrown carelessly
over the head of its late owner,
he exposed the well-known fea-
lures of Elksfoot, the Pottawat-
tamie, who had left them little
more than twenty-four hours be-
fore! The warrior had been shot
by a rifle-bullet directly through
the temple, and had been scalped.
The powder had been taken from
his horn, and the bullets from
the pouch; but beyond this he
had not been plundered. The
body was carefully placed against
a tree, in a sitting attitude, the
rifle was laid across its legs, and
there it had been left. i'm the

BUSINESS EFFICIENCY FOR THE
GOVERNMENT

1t has been repeatedly urged
against President Taft that he is no
politician and therefore the people
are not expecting him to win. But II
has never been urged against the
president that he has not been an
efficient president or that his con-
duct of the business affairs of the
government has not been on the
highest plane. One of the accom-
plishments of his administration has
been to introduce business efficiency
in the departments of the govern
ment and the saving to the peop.e
through this source has been enor

The work done in the post office
department is an example of the
work of the administration and illus

with the public business. 1t was
demonstrated in this department thai
the deficiency that had existed since
the department was created could be
wiped out by efficiency in manage
ment and the head of that department

WHY NOT A DAHIIA SHOW?

The ladies in Tacoma are featur-
ing dahlia show this week and iay-
ing claim to having the finest show
ing of individual plants and the larg-
est range of varieties that can be pro-
duced in the United States 1t seems
to The Herald that this challenge
might be met by the ladies of North
Yakima and the competition made
very keen for the ladies of the Sound
city
Notwithstanding the fact that one
grower in the Tacoma show has ask ed
place for 154 varieties and that the
premium list shows a wide range IN
specimens and colors of this queen Of
autumn flowers, North Yakima flower
beds will show at present a collection
of dahlas that would be difficult to
beat in any city in the land.
1t has been demonstrated here at
several state fairs that the collection
of dahlias exhibited from North Yak
ina is so rich in color, so varied in
Towering and so perfect in every
detail that competition, though keen
from other parts of the state has
never been able to take the prizes
away from this city. 1t is to the dab
liza, many believe. more than to the
rose that this city can lay claim as
a means to make it a city beautiful
and it would be very fitting If the
growth of this beautiful flower could
be encouraged by an annual dahlia
show, which might serve as means
of educating the citizens in growing
dahlias for the characterization of thei,
homes.

BULLETIN ON TIMOTHY GROWING
Agricultural Department Makes Re-
port of Best Method of Handling

WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. al
The department of agriculture has is
sued report on timothy production
on irrigated land in the northwestern
states, which says in part:
'In some of the irrigated valleys
in the northwestern states, where the
soil and climate are we'll adapted for
the growth of timothy and where tim.
othy production is an important in
dustry, fields are frequently in mead
ow for period of 10 Tor IL years or
longer. On most Soils. however, the
yields of hay become smaller, be-
cause of the growth of weeds, etc.. in
about four to six Years after the
meadow has been Seeded. When
weeds have come into the field and
the yields Of hay have become small.
the field should be plowed and other
crops grown for two or three years
or more before the meadow is re-
seeded.
Timothy growing in mixture with
clover or alfalfa should be harvested
soon after the timothy comes into
bloom or even at a somewhat earlier
date. Timothy hay growing alone pro-
duces the largest Yields Of the best
quality of hay II 1t is cut at about
the time of full bloom or within
few days afterwards
"Old meadows where weeds have
come In, and which are in a poor
condition generally, produce only
about IN tons or less of hay per
acre. Meadows in good condition
and where alfalfa or clover is grow
ing in combination with the timothy.
may produce yields Of about three to
three and half tons per acre from
two cuttings"

sion of congress showing in detail
just where the money asked for is to
be expended. Such a thing has never
been done before in the history of the
country, though it is common prac-

Before the practice has been to ask
for money in lump sum and to ex-
pend it without regard to detail.

along this line. Yet the president has
given the country a business admin

There is plenty of evidence i'm the
