TIME home and hunting grounc
of the Nez Perces indians
when first known to white mel
was on the east side of the lower
Snake river and on the Salmon
river and its tributaries. They were
| divided into the lower and upper
Nez Perces, the former living il
| Imnaha valley, about rs miles from
| Lewiston, Idaho, but claiming the
| Wallula-now Walla Walla-coun-
try as theirs. This is said to be an
Exceptionally fertile region, and
soon attracted the attention of
would-be settlers, who thought it
could be put to more profitable use
through cultivation, than if left as
forage and hunting ground for the
Indians.
| Then came repetition of the
continuous story when a strong ma
ton deals with weaker. Through
treaties with our government, the
lands of the Indians were constant
ly reduced in extent, and they, who
had always roamed at will, were to
be confined to the narrow limits of
a reservation. 1t was opposition to
the last treaty on the part of the
Lower Nez Perces, that led to the
Nez Perces war.
Among the Lower Nez Perces1
the title of "chief" seemed to be
hereditary. We first hear of Jo-I
seph, then Old Joseph, then the 10
seph who conducted the remark
able flight of his people, and all
of these were chiefs.
The third Joseph was the son of
Old Joseph, his mother being of the
Cayuse tribe, who had always made
much trouble in Oregon, and who
were the perpetrators of the Whit
man massacre. The members Of |
this tribe were VIGOROUSLY deceit
full, and it was claimed, by those
who saw him, that Chief Joseph
as he is now designated combined
in his features of the nildness of
the Nez Perces with the slyness of
he Cayuse.
Old Joseph's advice to his peo-

the majority of the Nez
oerces were induced to accept the
asst treaty offered them, Chief Jo-
eph, White Bird, Looking Glass
nd others refused to sign it. They
we're called the "Non-T reaties."
Among this people there was a G
ocular sect, "The Dreamers," who :
Exercised great influence over }

varieties of wives. There Is the do
nestle wife, who resembles the gas
range and is most interesting at
mealtime There is the devoted
wife, who sticks to her husband like
a porous plaster, and is just as irri-
tatirg. There is the fashion-p plate
wife, who keeps him in debt. There
is the club wife and the bridge wife,
who feed him out of paper bags,
There is the henpecking wife. There
is the baby-doll wife, who is beauti-
full but dumb. And there's the
other mans wife, who is the most
interesting Of all.
Every man dreams of an ideal
wife. She is a woman who never
grows old, nor gets fat, nor sriZzle-
headed, but remains perpetually
young and beautiful, and retains
her sirlish figure. She runs house
on air and sets before her husband
wonderful meals that cost nothing,
an she lever, never, never asks
for an allowance.
She is always beautifully dressed,
and quiet, and calm, and serene,
even after having been up half tho
night with a colicky baby, or after
having stood hours over q. hot stove
cooking dinner. She is always ready
either to go or stay, to talk or be
silent, according to husbands moods,
and she perpetually sits at his feet
and burns incense. Needless to say,
no man ever finds his ideal wife.
There amt no such animal.
The wife occupies different
status in different countries. In
America, she plays first fiddle. In
| Europe, she is second fiddle, with
most of the stops on. In the Orient,
she is not heard at all. Orientals
take their wives in allopathic doses
Occidentals prefer to take theirs
| homeopathically But the Orientals
! are more reasonable in their de.
mands upon wives than the Occi
dentals are. They marry a whole
harem to get the qualities they Gle.
sire in 4. wife, while we expect one
wife to bunch all varieties Of charms
and graces.
A strange thing about a wife is
| that no man knows how he hap.
pened to get the one he did. Only
! his wife knows that.
And the strangest thing of all is
that most men can neither get along
with a wife nor without one.

OUR HOUSEHOLD
CONDUCTED BY LIZZIE o. THOMAS

A woman writes that she had some
droopy chicks and she took some pre-
pared food, mixed nuX Yomica with
it and fed them. When she return.

bought and the nuX vomica / ask

! OIL will also remember that in adj
visinG you to use nuX vomica for

meal, and to use cold water with it. j,
Mixtures make some deadly poisons.
Calomel is d favorite medicine with
many. But did you know that if you
take a dose of calomel and in even
few minutes take tincture of iron YOU
will have a killing dose of corrosive
sublimate in your stomach? Don't
experiment with anything unless you
are indiffer, Mt as to results.
And some days have had as many
as five letters like this: What must
I do for lice? How about mites?"
There is nothing to do now but to

or any harmless grease, even ono
teaspoonfuI of lard with five drops of
coal oil in it. Grease just below the
vent, under the wings and on top of
the head DO this at night, and if
the mother hen is with them be sure
she has a good greasing, too. If the
roosting places are kept clean, and
you have had dozens of directions,
for spraying, there is not any excuse
for infestations. When hen is set
she should be free from lice; her nest
should be free from mites, and after
two weeks she should be busted with
any good lice powder and the nest
again sprayed and the material
changed. Then the eggs will hatch
twice as vigorous chicks as those
that the mites are sucking all the
time.
Clean up is the word for this sea-
son. There will not be any use in
a lot of chicks hatched unless the
premises are clean. If you know
where the sparrows are Matching, get
busy and spray the places. They
will breed mites as fast as you clean
them out of your hen houses.

every husband since has followed in
his footsteps.
If married man fails in business,
he lays it on his wife's extravaganza.

AS standing excuse a wife has
no equal, which is one of the chief
reasons that many a man acquires
one. Wives are also valuable as a
kind of human safety valve to their
husbands, for many a man would
blow up and burst if he could not
vent on his wife the temper and
irritability and grouchiness that he
dared not visit on his employees, or
his clients, or customers.
A wife is a useful, in fact, almost
a necessary household convenience.
She is the only cook that can't give
notice and quit, and the only laborer
who is on her job twenty-four hours
a day, and who never goes out on
strike or a lockout, and who never
demands Sundays and holidays off.
She is also cheap labor, being will
ing to work for her board and
clothes, and humbly grateful for an
occasional small tip.
Few men realize what an eco
nomic saving a wife is until they
lose one. Then they have to hire
about six other women to do the

baby tending, ETC., that one small,

A wife is generally held to have a
very uplifting influence on a mans
character and to exert a reforma-

probably because after a man gets
a wife he has no money to indulge
himself in any other vice. 1t is a
mistake, however, to believe that A
wife is an antidote for that tired
feeling, or a thirst for bootleg liquor,

A wife is often called q. helpmeet.
This is on account OF her being n

Wives help their husbands in diff

her husband by being nickel

and busting off the mouse that
drops in the flour bin, and wearing
hand-me-down clothes, and making
her own hats until they pile I'D

situated that your flock drinks at

mix the salts with meal and make a
