looking pilgrims. Chief Charlots
countenance retained its habitual ex-
preston of stubborn-born pride and
gloom, as he advanced on foot, shaking
hands with all who had come to greet
him. After the handshaking wa over,
all assembled in the agency chapel to
the benediction of the most Holy Sac
rament. The o Salutaris' and Tan
tum Ergo chanted by those untutored
children of the forest, told better than
any other words could OF the patient
teachings of the Jesuit fathers. Every
word of the beautiful Latin verses
sounded as distinct as If coming from
cultivated voices. If the poor creatures
reflected on the meaning OF these
words.
Bella premunt hostilia,
Da robur, fer auxilium,'
they must have felt that tho touching
sentiment truly expressed the feeling
of their hearts. After the benediction
the good and learned Father Canistrel-
Ii, who had spent many years laborine
among the Indians, striving to enlight-
en- their hearts, addressed them in their
own language. The good words seemed
to console and comfort them, If the
peaceful expression of their counten-
ance indexed Alright their minds"
Such was the end OF Charlot's last
march. At its end he did not find i'm
mediately the peace which had been
promised him.
To the last ne nursed his grievances
and they were many. Genuine wrongs
he had and he brooded over them un-
til they magnified and multiplied. He
never loved the Jocko. He was never
reconciled to this change of homes
Some satisfaction he found in the bet
tered condition Of his people and that
was all. He distrusted all whites. Had
it not been for the Endorsement which ]
brought him at first which Major Cat
lin gave me-the major had been one

of Charlot's trusted Stevensville friends
Il doubt if any of the several visits
which I made at the Jocko cabin
would have been as pleasant and as
satisfactory as they we're. But l gain
ed an insight into the old mans heart
that always gives me sympathy even
with his utter stubbornness. If the
whites had been as honest with him
as he was with them, his last days
would have been happier.
AS 1 walked along the route Of his
last march the other day l could not
help thinking of this thing. The beauty
of the valley which he loved so much
and all the associations which gathered
about its scenes must have been con-
slant visions before his sightless eyes
during those last bitter years. And the
memory Of that last sad march down
the valley must have been a painful
thought for him.

FOREWORD

This story Is being reprinted
through the courtesy of Dean A. l..
Stone Of the state university, author
Of Following Old Trails" which
was published in 1913. The stories
in this book were written originally
for the Muscular and for a year
constituted a feature of the Sunday
edition. The suggestion that they be
collected In permanent form came
from friends of Dean Stone, then
editor of the Muscular. who, he
says, had estimated their value.
These stories were written under the
high pressure of a daily newspaper
office and with no thought that they
would ever be called back out of the
files. In %consenting to their pub
lication, Dean Stone said: II have
let them go in the hope that their
publication may prove an incentive
to the preservation by ADLER pens
tran mine, of some of the intimate
details and the personal side of the
life of the men and women who, in
Montana, hewed a magnificent COM
monwealth out of a wilderness.
Every community has tales like
these. They must be preserved soon
or they will be lost forever" Dean
Stone is recognized as the foremost
authority on the history of the
northwest, and especially Montana.
We are grateful to Dean Stone for
having the privilege to reprint his
writings.-The Editor.

NEW WAY FOUND
TO SCARE BEARS
RATTLING OF DISHPAN WILL
STAMPEDE BRUINS, GLACIER
PARK FORCES DISCOVER

Bears hate and fear noise, it has
been discovered by Glacier national
park rangers. The rafting of a dish
pan is sufficient to send a bruin
rushing terror stricken to the forest
Experimenting on this knowledge of
bear psychology, a group of packers
decided to tie a bell on a black bear
that had become a nuisance arOund
their camp and hung a bell on a
leather collar around her neck
Her cubs Immediately osJracized her
They were startled, they squealed dis
pleasure, they Stunned their mother
who had acquired the bell. The mot
her bear at first resented the jingling
neckpiece, but gradually became &C
customed to it and then actually dis
played pride in it.
Another method of Kidding the camp
of unwelcome bears was adopted by n
road crew in the park. Nightly, bears
came up to their cabin and disturbed
their sleep by paving around the win
dows, SO some dry cell batteries were
attached to the windows in such a
way that tampering bears would get an
electric shock. The experiment worked.
Usually one shock was enough to keep
q bear away from camp after that.
With several black bears and griz-
lilies in the park, tourists may see many
of the shaggy fellows during their visit;
but park officials warn against feeding
the bears because when pampered they
become robbing nuisances around camp.
At Lake Mcdonald hotel and Going
to-the-Sun camp, bears gather III
great numbers to feed at the garbage
pits. Park visitors find it interesting
to watch them and get closeup snap
shots of them eating.

@ERHAPS THERE are no more
- beautiful trails In this world than
that leads from old st. Mary's
mission at Stevensville. in the
heart of the Bitter Root, to the valley
in which the Jocko agency nestles at
the foot of the mountains which rise
abruptly from its fertile slope. If there
are any trails more beautiful than this,
I have never seen them. Certainly
there are few trails anywhere which
possess the sad-tragic, 1 had almost
said-aSsociations which cluster about
this road.
1t was along this trail that grim old
Chariot made his last march. After
years Of determined and, at times, de-
fiant, struggling against the inroads Of
white settlement, the stern and embit-
tered chief yielded to the inevitable
and with the little remnant of his peo-
pie turned his back upon the valley
which had been his ancestral home and
marched to the place allotted to him on
the Jocko reservation. Chariot is dead.
In September. 1911, I spent a good
deal Of time along portions of this trail.
The splendor Of autumn was over the
towering mountains, the glory of the
harvest time wa upon the valley. The
breeze which waited down from st.
Mary's peak was tingling with crisp
ness Of late summer. The water in
the river was clear as crystal as it muir
INJURED along beneath ~overhanging
trees. The incomparably beautiful Bit
ter Root landscape was never more APP
pealing-grand mountains, rolling val
leys, broad meadows, dense groves, the
bluest sky that spans the earth, the
brightest sun that shines upon it and
the : intoxicating atmosphere Of this
western realm.
Upon just such a morning did Char
lot, chieftain and the son of c~hieftainS,
bid goodbye to the valley which had
always been his home as it had been
the home of his fathers. Looking over
the scene the other day as I walked
from the mission over toward Fort
Owen, / could easily understand the
bitterness which filled the heart OF the
old mar as he marched away from all
that was dear to him, to make a new
home for himself and his people in a
place he did not like and under condi-
tons which were humiliating and
which broke his old heart.
His father had refused to leave the

he completed the building of the
first cantonment at the mouth Of
Tongue river in August, 1878.
The outline of the old cantonment
is still plainly discernible just north
Of the Eastern Montana fair grounds
on the west bank of the river and
just north of the bank of the Vel
lowstone. Mr.. Miles plans to use
lava rock, which is found in abund-
ance adjacent to Miles City, par
ticularly in the Pine hills. On n
of the four sides he will place q
bronze plaque bearing the legend Of
the building of the house and it's
occupancy by General Miles.
When the commanding officer Of
the Fifth infantry landed at the
mouth of the Tongue river, he did
not Immediately arrange for the
cantonment. After debarking from
the river steamers that brought him
and his soldiers from Yankton, Gen
eral Miles proceeded west to the
Rosebud river region, where he con-
ferred with General Terry and other
army officials. Returning to the

General Miles occupied the cantonment with his troops about two
years when he selected a site to the west. To this point, now occupied
by the officers and department heads administering the affairs OF the
United States range livestock experiment station, he moved his troops
and army property. His major expeditions against Sitting Bull, Crazy
Horse and Lame Deer, however, were conducted from the old canton
ment at the mouth of the Tongue river. Following the removal to the
new site, General Miles established an Indian prison camp north OF the
old cantonment and another northwest of the new site along the banks
of the Yellowstone.
1t is at the site of the first house occupied by General Miles that his
nephew, George M. Miles, proposes to erect the monument.

JAMES |. HAYDEN, EARLY LOCAL RESIDENT
 PASSES IN FRISCO

Word comes from San Francisco of the sudden death of James L. Hayden, pioneer Alaska mining man, on June IS. MT. Hayden came to Alaska in the early days and for many years resided at Seward and in that vicinity. He was married there to Miss Betsy Graf, daughter of Sam Graf of Seward, who survives, reports the Juneau Empire.
 MT. Hayden was born at OIym- pia, Wash, about 60 years ago, when his father, Major J. L. Hay den, was Surveyor General of Washington Territory A brother, Gen. John Hayden, United States Army, retired, resi- ides at Port Townsend, Wash.
 Jim Hayden was one of the best known and best liked of Alaskans during his residence in Alaska and during the subsequent years that he has resided in Seattle and San Francisco. The Hayden home ill Seattle, where Jim and Betsy were fond of entertaining Alaskans for many years, was a favored haunt of their Alaska friends. They were charming hosts. They moved to San Francisco several years ago.
 Death came to Mir. Hayden sud- denly. He had been ill for six months or more, but was up and not worse than usual Mrs. Hay den was down town. The maid went into the living room, and Jim remarked that he was not feeling very we'll, and went into the bed- room. Shortly, the maid heard him groaning and went to his room, he was dead when she arrived.
 Gen. Hayden and other relatives were at the funeral which occurred June IT.
 Mrs Hayden will continue to reside in San Francisco.
