ton told me the road we were taking
to Fort Benton was not good; that
there was very little grass, no water
and no buffaloes The road by the
Missouri river was the best for the

my own course, as I have always found
it best to do the exact reverse CT

Aug. 22-tOn Frenchman's fork OF
Milk river This afternoon, whilst
moving through a large herd of buff
faloeS one of our dogs worried an
old bull until he charged the train
passing between two Jokes of cattle
and swapping the chain in two. This
caused somewhat of a scare among
the transfers and some of our mule
teams were inclined to run away.
Aug. 25-We came in sight of Milk
river about II a. m. the Little Rocky
and Bears Paw mountains being Just

The camp was large and looked ex-
ceedingly picturesque. The carts were
formed into a circular corral, being
placed side by side. with the hubs
adjoining forming an almost impassa-
BILE barrier. Inside of this defense were
pitched their skin tents, which are
conical, with an opening at top for
the smoke to escape All around the
outside of this circle was a frame
work of stakes which was covered with
buffalo meat drying in the sun. The
meat dries in this way. without salt
in about two days These erections
looked in the distance like a red wall
around the camp. The hunters. about
600, were absent hunting the buffalo
on the adjacent plains We found only
old men. women and children in the
camp. The women were hard at work
cutting up meat and chopping penn
mican. In making pemmican they
mince the meat and fat tolerably fine,
put it in buffalo hide, pour in boil
ing fat and close it up: it eats we'll
if prepared with care. They were also
drying little cakes of wild cherries and
berries, to eat with dried buffalo meat
and pemmican.
Millions Of Buffalo
The women, mostly half breeds, are
many of them pretty, rosy-cheeked,
bright-eyed, decently dressed and po-
lite in their manners. They had many
oxen COWS and ponies feeding around
This party was from Pembina and
vicinity. When at home they are
farmers. They were now hunting for
meat.
Aug. 3-We were passing herds of
buffalo the whole morning: they
stretched in every direction as far as
the eye could reach, and a field glass
showed other herds in the distance
The mountains of the coteau were
covered with them. They looked like
swarms of flies. Certainly over a mil
lion were in sight during the day
Aug. 8-Toward sunset a large
number of mounted Indians came in
sight; halted in line at a distance of
200 or 300 yards: dLsmounted from
their horses and waited to be invited

where we were most politely received
by Mr.. Steel, who was in charge of
the post; We obtained here some nee
eAsary supplies for our onward jour-
ney TO the Rocky mountains, and got
shoes made for the horses and mules
Fort Benton Described
Fort Benton is on the north bank
Of the Missouri, near the Great falls.
The fort is near the river on a wide
grassy plain, surrounded by high
bluffs: the heights on the opposite
side Of the river are picturesque. The
buildings are Of adobe CSun-dried
bricks and wood: the whole sur
rounded by an adobe wall Is to 20
feet in height, and the entrance is
by large and strong gates. The fort
is trading post of the American Fur
Co There are two other posts, a short
distance up the river, both of which
are now owned by the company The
principal trade is with the Blackfeet
and ether Indians. but from the large
number Of emigrants and others pass
ing here to and from the gold mines
Of the Rocky mountains, it is prob
able the chief trade, in future, will
be with the mines
Thanked Guard
Most Of the company's employees
had gone down the river with M
Dawson, leaving here their Blackfeet
wives and their children. Met several
freighterS from Bannack and Virginia
City. who were coming down the Mis-
souri, for goods, as the steamer, not
being able to reach Fort Benton this
year, owing to the extraordinary
drouth, had landed her freight al
Shreveport. and other points lower
down
I'm the evening I assembled the
emigrants and guard. to take my fare
well. Thanking the emigrants for theil
hearty cooperation on the trip. and
the cheerfulness with which they had
complied with all the regulations o!
the camp and the march, I then ex-
pressed TO the guard my sense of the
zeal and faithfulness with which they
had discharged their duties. The Rev
John Torbits presented me with g
letter signed by all the emigrants. ex-
pressing their approval of my conduct
and good wishes. I also received g
! letter of affection and good will from
the guard, which I shall always highly
prize"

Bedtime Stories
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS

AS Peter Rabbit reached the edge
of the Green Forest on his way
home to the dear Old Briar Patch
he decided to run over TO the weedy
field to see if the Snowf1akes and
Tree Sparrows and the Horned
Larks were still there. They were,
but almost at once Peter discovered
that they had company. Twitter-
ing cheerfully, as he busily picked
seeds out of the top of a weed
which stood above the snow, was
bird just little bigger than Chic
oree the Goldflinch. Peter looked
twice and then rubbed his eyes.
Gracious goodness" he mutter-
ed. 1T must be that something
is wrong with my eyes so that I am
seeing red. I've just seen one bird
dressed in red, Piny the Grosbeak,
and now there's another. 1t GER
tainly must be my eyes. Dotty the
Tree Sparrow is over there, for I
heard his voice; wonder if he will
look red" Peter hoped near
enough to get good look at Dotty
and found him dressed just as he
should be. That relieved Peters
mind. 1t was clear that his eyes
were quite all right. Then he re-
turned to look at the happy little
stranger picking seeds from weed
top.
The top of his head was bright
red. There was no doubt about it.
His back was toward Peter and but
for that bright red cap Peter cer-
tainly would have mistaken him for
one of his friends among the Spar
row family. You see, his back was
grayish brown. Peter could think
of several Sparrows with backs very
much like him. But when he look
ed closely he saw that just above
his tail this little stranger wore a
pinkish patch and that was some
thing no Sparrow of Peters ac-
quaintance possessed.
Then the lively little stranger
turned to face Peter and pair of
bright eyes twinkled mischievously.
We'll" said he, ''hoW do you like
my appearance? Anything wrong
with me? I was taught that it is
very impolite to stare at any one.
I guess your mother forgot to teach
you manners"
Peter paid no attention to what
was said, but continued to stare.
MY, how pretty you are!" he ex-
claimed
The little stranger was pretty.
His breast was pink. Below this
he was white. The middle of his
throat was black and his sides were
streaked with reddish-brown. He
looked pleased at Peters remark.
I'm glad you think I'm pretty
said he. Il like pink myself. I like
it very much indeed I suppose
you've already seen my friend Piny
the GroSbeak"
Peter nodded. I've just come
from making his acquaintance.
! said he.
