indian Prophet Procnost:cates,

White River.-John Cloud Reader,
more than 100 years of age, the most
famous living prophet and medicine
man Of the Sioux Tribe, has just pre-
pared a weather prediction for the
seven-year period to ana including the
year 1920. Members of the tribe as
sert that Cloud Reader has been max
ing these predictions since the early
recollections Of many of the older
members of the tribe, and thai his out
lines have always been substantially
correct. Cloud Reader predicts that
some sections of South Dakota. and
parts Of Iowa and Nebraska, will ex-
p~erience heavy floods during the
spring OF 1916 and heavier floods in
1916 and 1917. The comparison for
the prophets 1917 offering dates back
to the cas- of 1904. In the middle
western area, he says. the general
rainfall conditions for each year will
show gradual increase up to and in.
Guiding 1917, with a gradual decrease
from that time until 1920, which will
mark the opening Of another period of
comparatively dry years. BY special
request Cloud Reader consulted his or
acles with regard to the foreign war
situation and he finds the signs favor
able to an early cessation of hostili-
ties. Unlike many prophets. who lose
their regulations by over-indulgence in
demonstrations. Cloud Reader is very
conservative and only operates at par
ticular periods each seven years. In
preparing his observations he goes in
to a trance and abctains from food for
a period Of three days.

GETTING Double Value.

Senator Sniffensnuff likes to get dou-
BILE value out Of his cigar. After snip
ping off the pointed end he generally
inserts two-thirds of the weed into his
mouth and munches it until all but
the lighted end looks like a salad.
One afternoon While S~niffensnuff
was sitting in front Of his hotel a
small boy tugged at the corner of his
coat.
What is it, SOM" asked the sena-
tor. good-naturedly.
Pointing with a small, brown finger.
the lad replied:

Preaching That Uplifts.

The world seems a pretty bad place
to most OF us at times. There are
so many things which take the heart
out OF our optimism, that seem to
make II a meaningless hope rather
than any solid reinsurance. But the
kind OF preaching that comes from
somebody who is better than we are
some life that lifts up the standard
Of human worth and reveals what II
may be made to stand for-such
preaching il likely to answer the CRY
within US for something that is true
and genuine and dependable.-Haver.

talked OF the daring Of the American
woman; who but q Frenchwoman
would have dared what she had this
night? The taxicab! She laughed.
And this man was wax In the hands of
an. pretty m who came along!
So rumor had It. But she knew that
rumor was only the attenuated ghost
of Ananias, doomed forever to remain
on earth for the propagation Of mac.
curate whispers. Wax! Why. she
would have trusted herself in any sit
uation with a man with those eyes and
that angle of jaw. It was all very
mystifying. Follow him; see where
he goes.' The frank discussion, then,
and the calm dismissal were but a
woman's discrimination. And he had
gone to Flora Desimone's.
The carriage stopped before a hand
some apartment house in the Avenue
de Wagram. The unknown got out.
gave the driver his fare, and rang the
concierge's bell. The sleepy guardian
opened the door, touched his gold
braided cap in recognition, and led the
way to the small electric lift. The
young woman entered and Familiarity
pushed the button. The apartment In
which she lived was on the second
floor; and there was luxury every
where. but luxury subdued and
charmed by taste.
She threw aside her hat and wraps
with that manner Of inconsequence
which distinguishes the artistic tenn
permanent from the thrifty one, and
passed on into the cozy dining room.
The maid had arranged some sand
wiches and q bottle of light wine. She
ate and drank, while intermittent
smiles played across her merry face.
Having satisfied her hunger. she
opened her purse and extracted the
banknote. She smoothed 1t out and
laughed aloud.
"Oh, il only he had taken me for =
ride in the taxicab!" She dubbed
again with merriment.
Suddenly she sprang up, as II in
spired, and dashed into another room,
q study. She came back with pen and
ink, and with q celebrity that came OF
long practice. drew five straight lines
across the faint violet face of the bank
note. Within these lines she made lit.
tie dots at the top and bottom Of
stubby perpendicular strokes. and
strange interlineal hieroglyphics. and
sweeping curves, all of which would
have puzzled an Psychologist II he
were unused to the ways Of musicians.
Carefully she dried the composition,
and then put the note away. Some
day she would confound him by re-
turning it.
A little later her fingers were NOV
ing softly over the piano keys; melo-
dies in minor, sad and haunting and
elusive, melodies that had never been
put on paper and would always be her
own; in them she might leap from
comedy to tragedy. from laughter to
tears, and only she would know. The
midnight adventure was forgotten, and
the hero of it, too. With her eyes
closed and her litLe body swa,i ing
gently, she let the old weary pain in
her heart take hold again.

CHAPTER III.
The Beautiful TiqresN.

9$S
Flora Desimone had been born in a
Calabrian peasants hut, and she had
rolled in the dust outside, yelling Wig
orOusly at all times. Specialists de-
clare that the reason for all great
singers coming from lowly origin is
found in this early development of the
throat. Parents Of means employ
least to smother these infautile pro-
tests against being thrust inconsider-
ately into the turmoil of human be-
ings. Flora yelled or slept. as the
case might be; her parents were
equally Indifferent. They were too
busily concerned with the getting of
bread and wine. Moreover, Flora was
n among many. The gods are al
ways playing with the Calabrian pen.
insula, heaving 1t up here or throwing
1t down there; IL terremoto, the earth
quake, the terror. Here nature tink-
ers vicariously with souls; and she sell
dom has time to complete her work.
Constant communion with death
makes for ~callosity of feeling; and the
Calabrians and the Sicilians are the
cruelest among the civilized peoples.
Flora was ruthless.
She lived amazingly we'll in the pre-
mier OF an apartment-hotel in the
Champs-Elysees. In England and
America she had amassed a fortune.
Given the warm beauty OF the south
ern Italian, the passion, the tempera-
ment, the love OF mischief, the natural
cruelty, the inordinate craving Tor at
tention and fattery. she enlivened the
nations with her affairs. And she lev
er put a single beat of her heart into
any OF them. That Is why her voice is
still splendid and her beauty unchang-
ing. She did not dissipate; ~calcula-
ton always barred her inclination;
rather. she loitered about the Forbid
den Tree and played that she had
plucked the Apple. She had an ex-
ample to follow; Eve had none.
Men scattered fortunes at her feet
a. foolish Greeks scattered floral Of
ferings at the feet Of their marble
~gods-without provoking the sense OF
reciprocity or generosity or mercy.
She had worked; ali. no one would
ever know how hard. She had been
crushed. beaten. cursed. starved. That
she had risen to the heights in spite OF
these bruising verbs In no manner en-
larged her pity. but dulled and vitiated
the little there was Of It. Her mental
attitude toward humanity was child
ish; -. when the parent strikes. the
child blindly strikes back. She was
determined to play, to enjoy life. to
give back blow for blow, nor caring
where she struck. She was going to
press the Juice from every grape. A
thousand odd years gone. she would
have led the cry In Rome-"Bread and
the circus!" or ITO the lionsl" She
would have disturbed Nero's compla.
cency, and he would have played m
obhlirato instead Of . solo 1t the burn
ine. And she vas malice incarnate.

Over Fifty Applications Filed.

Pierre.-The national forest reserve
department reports over a half hun
dred applications for filing homesteads
within the reserve, under the provi-
sions Of the act of June II, 1906. AS
each of these applications must be
passed upon after a survey to deter
mine as to whether the tract will be
more valuable for agricultural pur-
poses than forest purposes, the field
force of the department has been
busy, and the open weather conditions
extending so far into the fall has CIV
en- them an opportunity not often at
their command in the Hills where an
early snow stops such work. The de-
partment encourages the homestead
filings on such tracts within the re-
erve as are shown by the survey to
be OF the proper character.

already located deer and elk on the
tract. Another bunch of elk will be
located this winter, and efforts will
