Chance in the Postman,

This small boy, three and one-half
years old, was accustomed to meet
the postman and get the letters for
the family. He and the postman were
friends and the postman always had a
smile and pleasant word for him.
But one morning when the post
man came around he neither smiled
at the boy nor said word to him;
he just handed the letters over the
gate to him end passed on. which was
q great surprise to the boy. The fact
was that this was another postman,
taking that morning the place of the
regular man on this route. but the
small boy wasn't quite old enough to
realize it. This new postman wore
the same uniform, carried the same
bag. was just like the other man In
every way, except as to his face. But
certainly that was different. as the
small boy could see, and 80 when he
carried in the letters this morning he

PURE BREEDS VERSUS SCRUBS
Mongrel Is Excellent Hustler, but Will

The pure-bred animal is not one

"rustling" it's own way. But the scrub
will not and cannot make money for
it's owner. And right here is where
the pure bred excels itself.

scrub has not. Give the pure-bred ami

HOW THE POLKA ORIGINATED
Bohemian Servant Danced About the
Kitchen to Tighten Her Work,
and Composer Noticed.

The origin of the polka has just
been discovered. It Is said on good
authority that the dance originated in
one OF the little villages of Bohemia,
where a servant. firing of her work in
the kitchen. thought to make it lighter
by dancing around the kitchen and
singing at the same time. The mis-
tress Of the house overheard her and
called her into. the parlor, where she
was asked to dance the peculiar step
over again. A musician by the name
of Neruda was present and he some
time later wrote music for the step.
The name polka comes from the Czech
language, meaning half step.
In 1889 the polka was introduced
into Vienna and it made great sue
cess. The writer's of the popular mu-
sic Of the day adapted it Immediately
to their work. The polka was danced
on the stage in Paris for the first time
at the Odeon in 1910. and from the
stage 1t passed to the drawing room.

Feet Of Draft Horses.

No. 1. Hoof showing prominent
"frog," unmutiIated "bars," strong
walls and cupped sole.
No. 2. Distortion of hoof caused by
acute founder.
The feet should be lifted quickly and
evenly, and be set down squarely and
firmly.
The hoofs should be ample in size,
sound, smooth and symmetrical In
shape. The hoof is a continuation OF
the skin of the parts above. The
color of the skin decides the color of
the hoof. Color counts for little, how
ever, If the hoofs are of poor shape
and texture. The horn should be
slightly cupped, not fiat or bullying;
the frog large, elastic, healthy and
without deep cleft; the bars promi-
nent. Poor fore feet are one Of the
commonest and most serious faults
in draft horses.

Jury in Second TRIAL

AS an aftermath of the trial and
conviction of the Mcnamara brothers
and the subsequent conviction Of 33
alleged conspirators comes the second
trial of Clarence s. Darrow for brib-
ing juror in the Mcnamara case.
Darrow was acquitted ON the former
charge shortly after the termination
of that memorable trial, and the open
ing of the second marks another chap
ter in that dark story.
Much of Mr.. Darrow's life has been
spent in the interest of the laboring
man. Time and again he has come to
the defense Of some poor unfortunate
who was without the means to defend
himself properly. His connection with
the defense of Meyer, Haywood and
Pettibone in the Occur d'Alene coun-
try in Idaho brought out every re-
source of the man and demonstrated
his fitness as a criminal lawyer. 1t

defense, but once in the game he

that aequittal was impossible secured

this great crime. In the bitterness of
this trial, charges and counter
charges were hurled at each other by

River and Sullivan Creek, and in the
southwest part of the reservation the
flow of Camas and Cottonwood creeks
will supply 5000 acres.
The soil of the Flathead reservation
is clay, forest loan and gravelly loan,
and responds quickly to the application
of water. The rainfall in this district
il often ample for the production of
most forms of vegetation, and the de-
mands on canals and reservoirs will be
inconsiderable in those seasons. Where
irrigation has been applied, however,
the results have surpassed even the
hopes Of the most sanguine. The val
leys have been coming to the front
steadily during the past few years in
the variety and quality of their agri.
cultural products. Complete and in
tensive development is only awaiting
the completion Of the system Of canals
that will distribute water over the 1872
900 acres.

system of canals and laterals directly
from the Jocko River. Almost no
reservoirs are needed for this division
and the work has so far progressed that
several thousand acres are now under
the ditch. Water was turned into the
canals and laterals in 1910 and was
distributed to as many of the Indians
as desired it. The result is apparent
from the luxuriant growth to be found
where water has been applied Several
thousand acres in the Mission valley
were also brought under the ditch dur
ing the same year. Since 1910 add
tional acreage has been added each
year.
In the Mission valley $4,000 acres
will eventually be supplied with water,
which will be assembled from all the
streams in the vicinity. A series of
reservoirs and connecting feeder

Jocko valley. Enjoys of the govern
ment came with the documents for the
chiefs signature, but Chariot was OBJ
durate. His protecting arm had often
been barred to keep the whites within
his valley from danger. The Bitter
Root valley had been the home of his
ancestors for ages and he would not
sign any papers renouncing forever the
rights of his tribe to these lands. The
pension offered him and the freedom
of roaming at will were scorned. But
Arlee, war chief, elected by the full
vote of the people, found the mercenary
motive in his heart and accepted the
terms thus offered him, supplanted
Chariot as chief and moved with a
large part of the tribe into the Joeko
valley. Chariot made trip to Wash
ington and entered his protest, beg
ging for the privilege of staying in
the land of his fathers. But his re-
quest was unheeded. A few years later
all trace of the Indians possessions in
this valley has disappeared.
Now the Jocko valley is filling up
rapidly with whites. Now the Indian
