A member of the committee went
down on State street and picked out
q bright-eyed Italian lad and took him
back to the church. On the night of
the entertainment the newsboy was
the chit" of the evening and his work
was so decidedly clever and original
that DR.. Gunsaulus became interested
in the youngster. That was the begin
ming of new life for John B. Ratio.
LAD MADE GOOD
The youngster worked hard for an
education and at odd hours practised
his impersonations. His life as a
newsboy had thrown him in contact
with the various types of people who
go to make up our cosmopolitan citi-
zenship. This gave him a great ad-
vantage over the average impersonator
and together with his natural art it
raised him to place where he has
no peer.

III plorers, surmounting many diff
ficulties, made their way to
the country of the Mandans.
Autumn was at hand. Soon it would
be winter on the plains. 1t was more
than five months since the party had
left st. Louis. The Mandan village
lay at a great wilderness crossroads,
or, rather, at the apex Of a triangle.
beyond which none had gone.
Big White, chief Of the Mandans,
welcomed the party as friends, for he
was quick to grasp the advantage the
white mems goods gave his people over
the neighboring tribes and also quick
to understand the virtue Of competi-
ton.
Brothers, said he, you have come
for our beaver and our robes. AS for
us, we want powder and ball and more
iron hatchets and knives. We have
traded with the Assiniboines, who are
foolish people, and have taken all their
goods away from them. We have kill
ed the Rees until we are tired of kill
ing them. The Sioux will not trouble
us If we have plenty Of powder and
ball. We know that you have come to
trade with us. See, the snow is here

And so the exploring expedition went
into winter quarters, and log fortress
was built. Here they worked and
made ready for pushing forward as
soon as conditions would permit.

ing over their future plans Lewis re-
marked to Clark:
I'VE are at blank wall here. We
lack q guide now; that is sure. Two
interpreters we have, who may or may
not be Of use, but no one knows the
country. But, now. you know our

piled Clark. a'.. n
"Wel, it seems that last summer
Charbonneau married still another
wife, a girl not over sixteen years Of
age, I should judge. He bought her.
She was a slave, captive brought
down from somewhere up the river
by a war party. She IS pleasant
girl and always smiles. She seems
friendly to us. See the moccasins she
made for me but now. And only lad
to knock her husband down once for

Lucky man!' grinned William
Clark. 81 have knocked him down
half dozen times, and she has made
me no moccasins at all. But what
then?"
$50 far as can learn, that Indian
girl is the only human being here who
has ever seen the Stony mountains.
