him as comfortable as he could, he left
the cabin and went down the hill. He
met Bill Kearn, who was running
dairy at that time, and asked him if
he could spare him some milk, which
kearn could not do. Going into town
he did get some and returning to the
cabin Uncle Charlie saw the door was
closed, as he had left it with stick
against it. At that time there was a
fence around the cabin. Going into
the cabin, he looked for ellis, who
was not there. Going around the
cabin Uncle Charlie saw some panels
off and footprints in the snow. He
then surmised what had happened and
went to town and notified the police.
Searching parties were organized at
once. Diligent search was made in
the face of biting storm. Uncle
Charlie struck the trail towards the
east and at last ellis was found,
dead in draw beyond Henry
Schwab's home in the snow with only
his underclothing on, barefooted-a
tragic death. 1t seems that after
Uncle Charlie left the cabin ellis
made run for it. His intentions no
one knows. Great difficulty was en-
countered in reaching ellis relations
in Canada. At last after the burial
his brother Jim arrived and the body
was exhumed so he could identify the
body, which he did, pronouncing it

not seen for fifteen years. Such are

ALONG THE TRAIL
Continued from page four)

Tom told them the snipe would come
in, he got them to hold the bag and
the candle right near so the snipe
could walk in, telling the INTO be quiet
and wait and he would go up the draw
and drive the snipe in. Sneaking
away Tom had a sardonic grin on his
face, feeling that he knew on which
end of the bag the fools were. Con-
graduating himself that he knew what
he had surmised was right, that If
they knew their business as orintho-
logists, they might know that the
snipe was no such dam fool as to
walk into such trap.
After a long silence there was an
unearthly yelling and shouting, which
rang out in the still night. There
were shouts and erys of Indians, with
whoops of that gentleman ringing in
the air, crashing through the brush,
and then silence The guards sneaked
each one into his tent and lay in his
birth snickering and smothering sud
den outbursts of laughter, expecting
each minute to hear the highbrows
come into camp with rush. Alas,
silence reigned; no victims appeared.
What could it mean, were they still
looking for snipe, or were they cap
tured by the Indians? Well, time
would tell, so they rolled over and
went to sleep. The sun arose, still no
scholars appeared. The snipe hunt
was no doubt still on In fear the
guides went out to rescue the victims
and repaired to the spot where the bag
was last seen. There it was found
with the candle, which had been ex-
tinguished in the melee, but where
were the hunters? The guides spread
out and beat up the bush and at last

what is it? The officer told him that
he wanted him to pay the tax on the
animals on his ranch. Jim went up
in the air and said he was not ranch
ing to pay for other peoples stock;
they could pay for them if they want
ed to keep them, and Jim got het up.
The officer told Jim that he still had
his hat on and asked him to take it
off. jim let out an oath of great pro-
portions and told the officer he was
full-born American and he would I'M
der no circumstances take his hat off
to any cockney English officer, and
walked out of the office. Mr.. Haines
was astonished and expressed himself
as somewhat taken back and said he
had changed his opinion of the Ameri
cans as he had been insulted in his
office, and the American used some
what coarse language to him.
While in this camp Uncle Charlie
cleaned up ss7, 100000 in gold, then lost
it all in trying to make another strike
on some other claims he thought ought
to pan out, paid fifteen to twenty
five dollars per day in gold dust. When
he had satisfied himself that there
was no banana he was seven thous-
and dollars in debt, having lost ninety
four thousand dollars.
Neil ellis
Neil ellis, Canadian, came into
the Jardine country, north of Gardi-
ner, Montana, and was associated with
Uncle Joe Brown in the Bear Gulch
mines, who was also a close friend of
Charlie. ellis and Uncle Charlie met
in Jardine and became fast friends.
Uncle Charlie went up into the Clarks
Fork country, returning with some
horses from Bill Stumps. These hors-
es had been stolen and recovered over
in Crandall Greek. Uncle Charlie met
ellis at Jardipe and they went down
the valley, stopping at Canlpbells and
Yankee Jims, where they stayed. The
Bear Gulch Mining Co. having sold
their interests, ellis was receiving
some money, as were the rest, at stat
ed times as payment on the property.
ellis was very liberal in many ways
and was addicted to liquor, which was
his undoing.
In the winter of 1890 Uncle Charlie
induced ellis to come up to his cabin
and stay a while with him, so going
up the two dwelt together. Neil was
taken care Of by Uncle Charlie. Milk
was one of the essentials with ellis.
On the coolest day of this winter the
milk ran short. 1t was blowing and
storming. Uncle Charlie told ellis
he would go down town. Livingston,

1t would be wrong to seek to ham,
per prosperity. It is right to put
toll and thought into new ways of
serving old needs more abundantly or
more easily. The difficulty is the dis
tribution. Some people may have
more prosperity than is good for
them. Some surely have less than
would be good for them. Some have
attained very moderate degree OF
prosperity, as Mrs. Simkhovitch has
noted, before they have learned to
make wise use even of that.
To mend all this we need more
light, more knowledge. With these
there would be no danger that the
general average of prosperity would
ever be too great. Not wealth but
ill-managed wealth ceaselessly strives
to undermine society.-From the New

"TOO MUCH PROSPERITY"

When Mary Kingburg Simkhovitcf
Of Greenwich House, New York City,
told the Congress of Settlement
Workers in Paris that the United
States is suffering from too much
prosperity" she did not leave that
striking phrase without explanation.
And, explained, it is true.
No nation can have too much pros
perity, any more than it can have too
much virtue or too much health. Any
nation, any phase Of civilization, can
have more prosperity than it has the
skill to manage for the general good.
When night clubs draw their lavish
revenues within short walk of slums
that have begged for rebuilding
through half the life of the republic;
when corruption funds of millions are
raised by rich men to control political
primaries; when, using for private
profit the license to tax, manufacture
ers draw fortunes beyond the power of
poor men even to imagine while thou
sands of farmers who have paid that
tax lose their farms through bank
ruptcy' when aping the senseless ex-
travagances of the few is a common
cause of crimes of cunning; when
there is more than enough money for
luxuries and not enough for necessi-
ties; when deficiencies and imperfec-
lions in the schools which educate our
voters are the subject of anxious
thought, and the money to mend them
is lacking; when most of the pleas
ure automobiles of the world are
massed in one country; when more
than 10000 people are killed by mo-
tors in year and the death-rate
among the very poor massed in the
tenement districts without means of
escape rises in our fierce hot waves
by other thousands-then we may
suspect that we have not learned to
manage wealth
