The Butt Of the
Camp
BY SADIE oLcoTr

Hanging about mining camp In the
far west was an Indian girl whose
| name was so unpronounceable that she
was called Sal She was not the typ
but real daughter of the forest
which means that she was not beau
tiful, not over clean. and her hair
hung down. coarse aud straight. on
her shoulders, At least 1t would have
hung straight IL It had been combed.
Sal was not popular With the camp
ers, but she could be made useful for
very small expenditure Men who
had an accumulation Of unwashed
dishes could hire her for a few cents,
an old piece OF ribbon or some tobacco
to do the Job so that they could start
anew with their tableware and use 1t
all over again. A drudge like that is
always sure to get all the cutting that
springs from III temper, and Sal had
no one to divide 1t with. IL any one
lost anything she was accused of hav-
ing taken 1t and i'll treated until 1t
was found. which was often in the
possession Of the owner The Indian

who were settled on their reservation
on the other side of the divide, but
despite her ungainliness Sal seemed to
realize that whites were superior to
redskins, and she would rather be the
butt among, the former than stand
high among the latter.
One day Sal got in the way Of Tom
Barton when he was stamping his way
through the camp in very bad bumor
He gave her bat on the side of her |
head that sent her to the ground. A |
young and comedy man called Ohio
Sam, he having come from the highly
civilized state of that name. saw the |
transaction and was so incensed at a |
man striking a woman that he walked /
up TO Barton and batted him as he had

iomineer over those he can safely i'm
pose upon. though he will not stand up
IN open fight, will usually take a mean
revenge. Sal seemed to understand this
better than her champion. She kept an

manage some day to get the drop on

lame, and shoot him before he could
lraw.
One night Rowley was awakened by

Barton, with smoking pistol In his
hand the other was Sal. whose hand
was under Bartons weapon. II was
evident that she had just knocked II
upward. The villain retired and was
| not seen around the camp again.
Rowley, sensible of SAILS having
! saved his life. after this treated her
| with as much consideration as he could
one of her low degree. This seemed to
encourage her to tidy up bit, and she
appeared in white woman's discarded
dress that she picked up somewhere.
One day she went to Rowley and told
him that his enemy. Barton. was hang
ing at distance about the camp and
she believed be was bent on mischief.
Rowley had best avoid going out where
he could be shot in the back. The
young man smiled and said he didn't
believe Barton quite so low as that and
thought no more about the matter.
That same evening. having occasion
to go beyond the camp, he was walking
along when be heard two shots In
wood by the path and thought he heard
a woman's cry. Turning toward Ii, he
came upon Sal lying on her back with
a bullet hole in her forehead. She was
dead. Seeing a mans legs on the
ground, his body concealed behind
tree. Rowly went to where 1t was and
found Barton gasping He died In a
few minutes from a bullet wound be-
hind the ear
It was perfectly plain that Sal had
again saved his life. and this time at
the expense of her own. Taking her
up. he carried her to the camp. and as
the denizens gathered round while
Rowley told the story hats came Off
one by one and there were those who
had imposed on the girl whose eyes
were moist
Rowiey sent word to the girls peo- |
pie asking IL they wished to show their
dead kinswoman any funeral honors. |
They responded: "Sal no good Sal /
leave her own wigwam to be white

This was the reply Rowley received
with regard 10 girl who had owned
his life. yet gave her own for Its pres
ervation. The message stung him.

Ond. Sadly he arranged for the inter
ment of the body. and when II took
place those who had not given a kind
word to the Indian girl in life stood
'everently about her grave, each cast
ng in green sprig.
Somehow Rowley was never the
anne man after the tragedy. He could

The Pujo money trust investigating
committee is blamed in some quarters
for being skeptical about the reports
of William Roekefeller's serious illness
which was said to forbid his appearance
before the commission at Washington
and to make any questioning extremely
hazard Gus to his health. But the Pujo
commission had a right to be skeptical
in view of a recent illustration of sharp
evasion and in view, also of the promi.
hence of the witness sought. Moreover,
had not William Rockefeller begun to
play a hide-and seek game with the proc
ess servers who sought to subpoena him
as a witness, finally eluding them and
going south. there would have been more
reliance placed in the statement that
the man was very i'll. Generally speak

WHAT THE HOTELS ARE DOING
FOR NEW ENGLAND.

In enumerating what the hotels ar,
doing IN building up New England
George b. Chandler, New England rep
resentative on the government commits
sion OF internal relations, told the New
England Hotel Mems association this
fact "They are bringing the men Of
means to the poverty-strieken towns,
often to develop their farms, and so in
directly to introduce scientific agrieul.
ture in the rural towns" The asser-
ton undoubtedly is true. Wealthy men
have been attracted to New England
from the great industrial centers of the
country, who would never have become
interested in New England had it not
been for the fact that New England af
forded good hotel accommodations and
thus brought them into the section for
a brief stay at first, to be followed in
many instances by permanent summer
residence and frequently by complete
residence. In this way much idle land
has been taken up and in part of the
instances, the land has been developed
along scientific lines, thus lending the
example to some farmers who had fall
en- into slipshod measures of tilling the
soil. New England for this reason has
profted to considerable extent, and it
has to thank the hotel men for the OPP
portunity. Vermont has felt the inn
petus to certain extent but far short
of the possibilities were the state bet
ter supplied with good hotels to serve as
magnets for the wealthy men. This,
then, is another reason why Vermont
should build up her hotel conditions.

Gone are the days of protracted town
representative elections in Vermont, for
Governor Fletcher has signed the bill
making election by plurality after three
failures at majority election. The new
system promises to do away with
considerable iockeying and no slight
amount of bacchanalian periods, features
which sometimes crop out in these all
day and all.night contests. The enact
ment of this law is one of the best works
the legislature has done.
