What Might Have Been.
Cleveland displayed his ingratitude
in vetoing the Indian reservation bill. J.
J. Hill who was chiefly interested in its
approval and who has already made heavy
investments, which will be a total less un
less the right of way be grant:d through
the reservation in question, contributed
$28,(O00 to the pot needed to insure the
election of the man who has just killed
the bill. A decent sense of the f the gratitude
might have overcome the president's
alleged scruples but in his anxiety to
pose before the country as a reformer and
a foe to corporations, he tas sacrificed
the interests of his friend, without whose
very liberal contribution hoe might
even now be a second-class unmarried
lawyer in Buffalo, New York.-- Inter

Indian Nerve.
Alex Robinson, formerly of St. John.
lut now of this city, was an eve-witness
recently of a barbarous sun dance, partici
p':ted in by some of the Turtle mountain
Indians. One young buck perforated
himself through the muscles of the breast,
passing a pointed stick from nipple to
nipple beneath the muscles, lie then
tied a string to each end of the stick and
fastened the strings to the bridle of his
horse. Walking backward lie led the
horse about the hills and over the ground
-where the sun-dance was taking place.
Another equally nervy and equally foolish
buck forced a pointed stick through the
muscles of one of his arms. Through the
wound thus made, a string was passed, and
to the ends of the string was fastened a
piece of raw meat. The buck then parad
ed :about dragging the meat on the
ground. The object of this act of self
inflicted cruelty was to "keep the devil
away." These are the Indian children
whom Uncle Sam is spending large sums
to civilize.--Devil's Lake Inter Ocean.
Sage Opinions of the Press.
One serious result of the dry weather 1
which is to be apprehended, is fire on the 1
ranges. The law against leaving c:amp

Speaking of the United States geologi
cal survey now being made in Niantana,
the Bozeman Chronicle says:
We all know to our sorrow that but s
very small portion of Montana has ever
been accurately mapped. Considerable
work was done a couple of years ago by
the Tras :,i itinii tal Survey, organized
by Mr. Viliard. When that survey was
dishl:ded, it- maps and no.tes were
turned over to the G;,ol. Survey, and it is
prop ably to th:at fact we owe that work
is now being done in Montina. A regu
lar ,Montana di lIvi. has been organized,
and we may hope thit topographical
work will ni w ' carried on. h.lre every 1
seasoni, unti the vhle territory is cover
01 and we have 1S a crate a .l llap o
lo0:ntana as was .l4 -,:e nby te old Hiayden
s'yue'v, of (',ti-t :. As tei ttopographers
Scopile bie teir ".k they will be follow
e'd by the 4 el',gi t.
l)ele'_":'o T.oN says in regard to the
recent 'ti:;,.'r ,' z'itre at .zema tn:
"I have had several talks with Mhr.
parks 'e :rtr!n.ug this timber matter, and
Swhile he his expressed a willingness to
do s .1:nliag. he se'us uncertain what
todo. tle is not desirous of making the
ceompanies in Montana any serious trouble,
Syet he is iinclined to give the law strictest
counstructio. I pointed out to him that
the spirit of the law meant to prevent
nuothing but the culling of timber for ex
port and sale outside the state, and lhe
acq uiesced that view of the law might be
taken. It seems, however from this that
he is 'inclined to enforce the entire letter
of it."
The outlook for our stock interests is
just now very gloomy. There have been
more abu.nant rains in other parts of
the territry than in this vicinity. but the
con .l:4,int is general that there is a
scarcity of water everywhere. The snows
'are go.' from the imolntainls and the
springs and streams are falling fast. The
feed is short and thlin and fast drying up.
'i addition to all the rest, the extreme
4hot weather is on us earlier than usual
and is using up our little remnaining
u,4.,isire n ith great r:aidily There is
tim"e for the situation to ilaprove by good
' ins and cooler weather.---Herald.
A Classical Tramp.
The other day a seedy looking" speci
,..en of iuman ity shuffled into the sanc
i tum d l ery familiarly accosted us with
"',..l, won't 0'o please give mne two
bits to get : 0.llt.;iig to eat, I'm so
thirsty I don.'t know wheare I'n goini to
sl-ep tr-nilht." Hle was evidently the
w reck' . of a" gm .eel ceutleman of intelli
g,'nce who li:dl met with great nmisfortune
a:uo probaily been stranded upon the!
rocks by a tidal wave of strong drink.
We si: gested that the two bits might be
wanted by him to "tank up" sI ith, but Ile
assured us that he neverdrank. That
ihis respiration might perhatis.° give evi
dence of alcoholic stimulants, but that
he only took a little quinine and whisky
every morning for "the malaria." lie
said he was a rusty machine which had
once ground out bushels of poetry for the
New York Tribune; and that if we
would give him any subject he would in
voke the muse for a few lines. We told
him that his appearance strongly indicat
ed that he was in a Halifax of a fix, so we
gave him that subject. lie immediately
scribbled off the following poetical gem
which will be appreciated by those who
are familiar with classical allusions:
A 1--- OF A FIX.
Old ('haron rowed his boat across the river Styx,
But. resting on hi soars cried "what a fix"
No passengers, no anything, the very sticks
Seem sluggish; all my tricks in vain do flow,
To Letl:ea waters, that at sunset glow,
And will not mix with Ilm~des' stream
And not a gleam of hope for stragglers now
To II--Il with then Old Cerberus,.you d-d Bow
wow.
With a hearty "God bless you," this
nondescript bard pulled his tattered coat
up around where he ought to have had a
vest and shirt, and bowed himself out.
A Perfect Baking Powder.
The great success of the Royal Baking
n powder is due to the extreme care exer
t cised by its manufacturers to make it
entirely pure, uniform in quality, and of
the highest leavening power. All the
I scientific knowledge, care and skill at
tained by a twenty years' practical ex
perience are contributed toward this end,
and no pharmaceutical preparation can be
dispensed with a greater accuracy, pre
I cision and exactness. Every article used
t is absolutely pure. A number of chemists
are employed to test the strength of each
ingredient, so that its exact power and
effect in combination with its co-ingredi
Seants, is definitely known. Nothing is
k trusted to chance, and no person is em
3 ployed in the preparation of the materials
used or the manufacture of the powder,
who is not an expert in his particular
branch of the business. As a consequence,
the Royal Baking Powder is of the high
est grade of excellence, always pure,
wholesome and uniform in quality. Each
box is exactly like every other, and will
retain its pow"rs anl produce the same
and the highest lcavening effect in any
c.imate, at any time. The Government
Chemists, after having analyzed all the
principal brands in the market, in their
r ports placed the Royal Bak::!in Powder
at the heal of the list for strength, purity
and wholesolteness, and thousands of
1 tests all over the country have further
dem onstrated the fact that its qualities
are, in every respect, unrivaled.

Pleasing Experience with Vanderbilt.
A retired newspaper man (fortunate
soul) writes of a pleasing experience
with Mr. Vanderbilt: "I went to inter
terview Mr. V.," he says, "and the big
man was smilingly silent. 'Surely you
wouldn't hinder a newspaper man making
a few dollars,' I said to him, facetiously.
'A talk from you is worth a great deal.
I made a handsome sum out of my first
interview with you.' 'Well, by George,
I like a man who can make money out of
me,' said the railway king. 'It takes a
smart man to do it; fire away with your
questions.' "---Troy Times.
Entirely Free From Pain.
"And how's your father now-a.days?"
asked an Eastern woman of her friend
whose father lived in Kansas. "I trust
the old gentleman and the rest of the
family do not suffer as much from
rheumatism as formerly."
"No, they don't. Father writes that
since the last tornado out there, there
ish't a pane in the house.".-Tid-Bits.
