HE Ait Sin : Your pure-food bill is of greater
impoitnnt'o than any bill that has boon pro-
eonted In congress for the last twenty-live
yours. No man with any perception nt all can
rill to comprehend the necessity and the meat
Importance of this legislation. The sanitary
condition of tliuconntry dependsinoro on pure
food than all things else. Our medicines of
American manufacture ) nut no adulterated
that I do not pretend to buy them. I buy and
use the Uurnian products. If this congress
does not pafts vour bill It will bo universally
condemned. 1 have been fur years at work on
this pure-food question. Hcspootf ully yours ,
llO.V. A. S. 1'ADIIOCK , B. W. llECKWITIt ,
United States Bcnuto.
This bill , Mr. President , Is correlative with
the meat Inspection acts. As to which I
quote the following from my remarks ol the
ether day :
"Tho bill which was passed first at the last
session , called the moat inspection bill , re
ported from the commlttoo on Foreign lie lo
tions , nnd for which an amendment In tbo
nature of a substitute was presented by niy-
iclf from the committed of which I have the
honor to bo chairman tbo committee on Ag
riculture requiring tbo Inspection to bo
under tbo Department of Agriculture-instead
of the Treasury department , was accepted
and the bill so passed. The passage of that
bill by n ununlmous vote hoij , a bill moro
liberal In respect of Its provisions than this
bill ; afterwards the passage of the
bill reported by my distinguished
friend frbm Missouri ( Mr. Vest ) for the in
spection of live animals for export , which
wont through the snnato with almost no dis
cussion and by an almost unanimous vote ;
thenstill , later , the passage of nnothor bill ,
a moro important measure , perhaps , than
either of them , which I had the honor to re
port from tbo commlttoo on Agriculture , and
which passed the senate ncm.con. , providing
for tbo anto-mortom nnd post-mortem in
spection nnd examination of animals to bo
Blaugbtoicd or that had been slaughtered at
laughter bousot , canning establishments ,
packing bouses , rendering establishments ,
etc. ; and soon , cleared the wuv entirely for
tblnktnd of legislation , so thnt tbo line Is
not'incroly ' n blayod line t brought the dense
forests df uncertainty as to the Jurisdiction
of congress In respect to this kind ot legisla
tion , but n broad nnd beaten path , marked
out by the constitution , measured and de
fined oy recognized constitutional motes and
bounds by the congress ot which nearly all
the senators bora who now take a special in
terest in this matter were members , and who
participated in the legislator to which I
hnvo called attention , either voting for , or
assenting , by their sllcuco to such en act-
wonts. "
Here Is evldonco of the usefulness of ono
of tbo 'fnost important of the acts named ,
from , the Washington Post of a recent date :
Tbo vigorous enforcement of the United
States incut Inspection law Is u source of grout
latlsfuotlon to every one , nnd the butchers
ay that their customers are getting Into the
babltof demanding to bo told whether the
moat they are puieliaslng tins been Inspected
or not. A lurzo proportion. In fact the lurgost
proportion , of tno bettor class of meats used
in Washington comes from the great Chicago
dressed-biof firms. I'ach quarter of beet ,
enon lamb , and every piece of veal that 1s
brought in Washington from Chicago boars u
little tlcl.ut showing It tu have been Inspected
by the olllcers of thu bureun of animal Indus
try of the Agricultural Dep.irtmcnt located at
Chicago , and the ticket is u guaranty that the
meat la peed and fruu from disease. Tlio stoulc
Is Inspected before It Is killed und also after
It Is dressed , nnd there If no opportunity for
an annual diseased with e.nicer or Infected
with pleiiro-pneumonla tu slip through. A
Center market butcher told n 1'ost reporter
yesterday that ho has scon many cattle Killed
for market that had cancerous jaws. One
would not like to think that the juicy beef
steak or tempting slice ot roast beef before
him had been out from an animal alino.t
eaten up with cancer.
Mr , President , If this bill shall become a
law it will prove to bo of for greater value
than the act to which the 1'ost refers , be
cause it will cover the whole range ol food ,
drink nnd drug adulterations. I think this
will suDlco this timo. Mr. f resident. I as
sure you , however , sir , that there Is a basket
ful left of tbo same character which I could
give to the senate if 1 bad time and there
was space for them In tbo Itccord.
Mr. President , in conclusion. 1 appeal to
senators to help so far as they may bo able ,
in this particular upbore of their legislative
activities , to enact this law , I make this
appeal In the interest of thn public health.
The accumulated evidence ot thirty years
which baa come to us from tbo Investigations
nnd tbo analyses of scientists whoso names
ore known and honored throughout too whole
civilized world for their learning , their skill ,
and tboir devotion to tbo work of purifying
the food and medicine supplies of the people ,
lonvo no doubt as to the supreme Importance
of this legislation and of our duty to help
enact It.
The fact that many of the most virulent
poisons known to science- are almost univers
ally used by dishonest Impelled by their cu
pidity to make adulterated , sophisticated ,
nd Impure foods and drugs , even more at
tractive ( a appearance in some cases than
the pure jind genuine , has been Indisputably
established. That tbo health of the peoulo
every wbci o baa been impaired , thnt thous
ands biivn been sent to their graven as sac
rifices to tlio Insatiate monster ot greed
wbanco comes the Inspiration for this wicked
work , cannot be and in not denied by intelli
gent men and woman anywhere. If wo can
not atop altogether , lot us nt least do what
\vo can in the way of deterrent legislation to
minimize this appalling evil. '
In thn nnmo and in the intereit of public
morality I appeal to you to set legislative
bounds be ) oud which the vrlckpd may not go
with Impunity in this corrupt and corrupting
work. Let us at least attempt to perform
our part in the general effort to clovato the
standard of commercial honesty which hai
been so disgracefully lowered by those do.
contloas , frauds , and robberies , the malign
influence ot which la everywhere prei.ent ,
everywhere felt.
Let us help by our notion bore to protect
and sustain m hit honorable vocation the
bouorable'producor , manufacturer , morcliant
and trader , whoio business Is constantly
menaced and often rulnod by these unscrupu
lous competitors , \ > ho by their vile and dls-
bonost arts , manipulations und inlsbrandlug
are nblu to make the bad and Impure appear
to be tbo genuine ; thus , by a double decep
tion , both ns to quality and price , malting tbo
wcrto appear the bnttor choice to the unin
telligent mast of purchasers.
In the Interest of the great consuming pub
lic , par'Jculaily the poor , 1 beg of you to
luuUu an boucst , earnest effort to secure this
legislation. At best n great multitude of our
people aro' opposed by fear , a never-
abient appiehtinilon , which they carry
to their work by day nnd to their beds by
night , that perhaps at tbo end of the follow
ing day or week or month their ends may
fail to meet. Under the strain ot this prim
menace life Itsulf becomes a burden almost
too grievous to bo borne. But tbo thoupht
of helpless wives and children , whose solo
dependence bo U , renews the courage ot the
wfigo-workor from day to duy , and so ho
struggles on , praying and hoping to tbo end
These , Mr. President , sr the men , aud
these the women nnd children for whom , be
fore all others , I make thu appeal. If you
could save to thcso the possible one-third ot
the nutrition element ot their food supplies
which Is extracted to bo replaced by that
which Is only bulk , only the form and .sem
blance of that of which they are robbed by
tbo dishonest manipulator nnd trader , yon
wpuld go a long way toward solving the
great problem of the laboring masses
whether for them It Is "bettor to live or not
to llvo. " whether It is "bailor to endure tbo
Ills they have , rolhor than flee to these they
know not of , " that Ho beyond In the realm of
governmental and social upheaval nnd chaos ,
There Is n good deal in tbo way of cotnlo
"asides" as the momentous social drama
which holds the boards nt this time , and
whoso drnmatls porsonic are the so-called
common people , rapidly advances to the epi
logue , llo not deceived I the storm doth not
abate. It is over rising. Its violence Is over
Increasing. Take beod when the people do-
mnild bread that you continue not to give
them n stone , lest the nnpry waves of ponu-
lar discontent may some time , perhaps In thn
nour future , rise so high as to overwhelm
nnd engulf forever all thnt wo most greatly
vnlu6 our free institutions , nnd alt tbo
glories nnd hopes of our great republic
which are not ours nlono , but which belong ,
nnd , if they are preserved and shall perma
nently endure , will bo an ever-continuing
blessing to all mankind.

Didn't Like tlin Yanks.
The following stories by nn olllcor in
the union army , who fought at Yorktown -
town during the late rebellion , will give
an idea of the temper nnd spirit with
which the advent of the "Yanks" was
looked for by the nogroos. A couple o
ofllcors were ndvnpcing some distance
apart from their mon , when they were
hallod by nil old ntigro woman standing
in the door of her j do cabin :
"Blossdo LordltJJloss do Lordl" she
exclaimed as loud fity she could. "Yor'a
como at lastl yor.fcjconie ; ntlnstl I'so
looked for yor those many yoara nnd
now yor's como. | jos3 } do Lordl"
Nothing could exceed the old woman's
delight at seeing Uho Yankees. This
meant somothlng. nd how much ? In
tbo childish dollght , of that old woman
what a history is 8J' ' riT ° 9tod !
Long years she had waited to see this
deliverance. Slnvo she was , and the
slow years dragged ! , their wonry lengths
passed her youth , and still hope
whispered that the hour would como
when the bondage would ha broken. At
hist It comas when the spring of Ufa is
gone , nnd yet her aged lips are eloquent
with joy.
A battery In charge of the First Con
necticut artillery was built in front of a
largo und stately brick mansion , which
was surrounded by peach orchards. It
was the property of Mrs. Baldwin , whoso
son and husband were in the confederate
army.
Mrs. Baldwin was n lady somewhat
advanced in years , very socosh in opin
ion , who had remained on her estate ,
but at this time was dwelling in n small
house removed from the danger result
ing from the guns of her own friends.
During this time an olllcor belonging to
the artillery corps hud some conversa
tion with the lady to the following ef
fect :
Federal Oftlcor Madam , good morn
ing. I desire to purchase a horse from
you.
you.Sccosh Lady I require what horses I
have to plough.
F. O. ( referring to the shells from the
enemy ) That will bo quite unnecossar.v.
Your people are ploughing up the
ground for you.
S. L. Are they planting also ?
F. O. They huvo not planted any of
us yet , but as they have not concluded
their work I cannot toll what they will
do.
do.S.
S. L. Ah , well ! if they plant any of
your blue coated comrades I hope they

TEXAS nANOEUS.
Itoinarltnhlo In rhynlqno nnil Shooting
Ability.
The rangers were the largest mon I
saw in Texas , ttio stnto of big men ,
writes Richard Harding Davis in
Harper's Weekly. And some of them
were remarkably handsome in n sun
burned , broad-Bhouldorod , easy , manly
way. Tho.v wcro also somewhat shy
with the strangers , listening very in
tently , but speaking little , and then in a
Blow , gentle voice , nnd as they spoke so
seldom they seemed to think what they
had to say was too valuable to spoil by
profanity.
When Uonornl Mabry found they would
not toll of their adventures , ho nskod
thorn to show how they could shoot , nnd
as this was something they could do , nnd
not something nlroady done , they wont
about it as gleefully as school boys at re
cess doing "stunts. " They placed n
board , n foot wide and two foot high ,
some sixty feet off in the prnirio , nnd
Sheriff Sohocloy opened hostilities by
whipping out his revolver , turning it In
the air and shooting , with the sights up
side down , into thu bullseyo of the Im
promptu tnrtrot. Ho did this without
discontinuing what ho wns saying to mo ,
but rather ns though ho wore punctuat
ing his remarks with audible commas.
Then ho said , "I didn't think n' you
Rangers would lot a. little one-penny
shei'llT got in the first shot on you. " Ho
could altord to say this , bocaubo ho had
been n Ranger himself , nnd his brother
Joe wns ono of the best captains the
rangers had had , nnd ho nnd all of his
six brothers are over six feet high. But
the taunt produced- instantaneous
volley from every man in the company ;
they did not take thu trouble to rise ,
but shot from where they happened to
bo sitting or lying and ta'lking together ,
and the air rang with the reports and a
hundred vibrating little gasps , like the
singing of a wire string when it is
tightened on n banjo.
They exhibited some most wonderful
snooting. They shot with both hands at
the same time , with the hammer under-
nouth , holding the rillo in ono hand , nnd
never , when it was a revolver they were
using , with a glance at the sights' They
would Bomotimos lire four shots from a
Winchester between the time they had
picked it up from the ground and b'oforo
it had nestled comfortably against their
shoulder. They also sent one man on a
pony racing around a ti oo about ns thick
as a man's log , and were dissatisfied be
cause ho only put four out of six shots
into it. Then General Mabry , who
seemed to think I did not fully appreci
ate what they were doing , gave a Win
chester rillo to Captain Brooks and my
self , and told us to show which of us
could first put eight shots into the target.
It seems that to shoot Winchester
you have to pull n trigger ono way and
work a lover backwards nnd forwards ;
this would naturally suggest that there
are throe movements ono to throw out
the empty shell , one to replace with
another cartridge , und the third to ex
plode this cartridge. Captain Brooks ,
ns far as I could make out from the
sound , used only one movement for his
entire eight shots. As I guessed , the
trial was more to show Captain Btook's
quickness rather than his marksman
ship. I piid no attention to the target ,
but devoted myself assiduously to manip
ulation the lover and triggor.-nnd iiimed
blankly at the prairie. When I hud
fired two shots into space , the captain
had put his eight into the board. They
sounded as they went olT like fire crack
ers well started in a barrel , and mine , in
comparison , like minute guns at son.
The Rangers , I found , uftor I saw more
of them , could shoot us rapidly with n
revolver ns with n. rillo , and had be
come so export with the smaller weapon
that instead of pressing the trigger for
each shot , they would pull steadily on
it , and snap the hamtnor until thu six
shots were exhausted.
"HTT3TI/EH3" AND "BUSTLEB3. "
Such Are the Cltlrcns of the Great North
western Cities.
The keynote and countersign of life in
tlio cities of the northwest is the word
'hustle , " writes Julian Ralph in March
Harrier's. Wo huvo caught it in the
east , but wo use it humorously , just us
wo once used the southern word "sko-
dadalo , " but out west the word hustle is
not onlv asorious term , it is the most
serious in the language. Ono day , us I
sal , in the lobby of ono of the great
hotels in the older pair of twin cities , I
hoard two > old friends greeting ono
another with ardent expressions of
friendship and delight. They had not
mot for a long while , and each asked
about the other's Lizzie and Fannie and
their respective little ones. All of u
sudden I hoard ono say :
"Well , see you tonight , I suppose. I
huvo trot to go. "
"Whore have you got to go to'1" ' the
ether inquired , plainly disappointed
that the pleasant interview was not to
bo prolonged.
"WhoroV" the ether echoed. "Why ,
to hustle , of course. I have lost ton
minutes landing hero talking to you.
I'm going out to hustle. "
The word always jars upon the oar of
nn eastern man when it is seriously
spoken , but it is profitable to that ether
expression once dominant in the west ,
but now nil but abandoned. That was
the word "rustle. " The noun "rustlor"
und the verb "to rimtlo" meant pre
cisely What is conveyed by the newer
terms a hustler nnd to hustle. At the
llrst blush , as they say out west , rustle
seems the better word. There is a hfnt
of pooty in the suggestion of the sound of
moving leaves upon the ground or
of the silicon dross of a lady moving
rapidly. Moreover , that was what the
word was intended to convoy , the idea
being that of a man who moves BO rap
idly that the dead loaves upon the earth
ruJtlcd us ho swept along. But in its
origin it is u word of evil Intent , for the
cowboys invented it , and applied It to
cattle thieves , rustlers bolng the swift
rnldoru who stole upon grazing cattle on
the plains , nnd rustled oft with as many
head , or hearts , as they could got away
with. Therefore rustle is the worse
word of the two. But to one who lives
where neither word is in familiar use
there is little choice , since the actual
meaning of hustle is not far different
from that of jostle. Both imply a serious
nnd oven brutal lack of consideration for
other persons , who are elbowed and
pushed out of the way by the histler ) as
rowdies are hustled along by the police.

tioneering in old-fashioned style , with

down unmasked about hia assertion of a
few days before , that "the ollico should

FOUR CORDS OF WOOD FOR A WIFE

Tragedy on the lMnlu .
Among the ninny stories of pioneer life
in Buffalo county old settlers love to re
late , there la ono told about Alvlu
Feathers , a farmer living near Kearney ,
securing a.wlfo for a bioholor neighbor
and receiving four cords of wood as com
pensation for his sorvlcoB.
A young Gorman whoso nnmo may
have boon Gustavo llagon , took up a
homestead in the Wood River valley
and lived ntono in his little "sod shanty
on the clnltn. " At that time some na
tural timber , suitable for lire woodgrcw
on the banks of the little stream where
now only the wild plum , willow and
ether small brush is found. On thu
young German's homestead wood was
inoro plentiful than elsewhere and the
bacholor'n solitude wiw sometimes bro
ken by a neighbor in quest of wood.
Ono morning ns the bachelor was eating -
ing his breakfast of pork , rye broad and
barley cotToo , Mr. Feathers called. The
lonely situation nppo.ilod to hla sympa
thy. After the usual greetings , Fonth-
ors said :
"Hagan , this must bo a hard way to
llvo. Why don't you got you n wife. "
No * , Gustavois \ a Gorman , und far
nwny from the homo of his youth. The
rosy cliookod German frnuluins who
cumo to this country were gathered into
the homos of his inoro fortunate "lands-
mon ! "
The "jcinkoo" girls were not much
more numerous. Neighbor Feathers
know of a poor family living near who
came to this country the year before.
"
There was a largo" family to bo sup
ported and the struggle for comfortable
living was n hard ono. A lucky thought
struck Mr. Feathers.
"Gustavo. " said ho , "What would you
give fora wife ? "
"Veil , I don't know , " said Gustave , "I
hut got noting to gif. "
"Well , said Feathers , "I'll ' toll vou
what I'll do ; I will got you a wife todnv
if you will give mo four cords of wood. "
Gustavo was astonished at the propo
sition , but soon promised the wood for
the wife and arranged to bo in Kearney
in the afternoon.
Feathers wont direct to the homo of
the poor family and found them nestled
together in ono little room wbich was
all their poorly-built shanty contained.
The oldest ; a daughter about 17 , WUB the
object of his visit. She was clad in a
calico drcbs nnd n pair of worn-out shoos
and looked pinched and cold in her
scanty attire. A hnlf-do/.on younger
children huddled together with bare
foot nnd thin summer garments on.
Pbvorty made the parents will
ing to do anything within
reason , to bettor the condition of their
family und they were favorably im
pressed with Mr. Fouthois' proposition.
This errand was soon accomplished and
Mr. Feathers drove to Kearney that
afternoon with the bride-elect. On their
arrival the young German was found
waiting nnd the bride nccopled the prof-
foicd hand of her suitor. She was then
taken to a store where general morchan-
dibo was kept and fitted out with com-
forttulo clothing. No bride over looked
happier in wedding ijarment ? than this
poor girl who had lived in poverty on
the cold , blcnk prairie.
Tlii marriage which is or.o of the first
on the BulTulo county records , occurred
that afternoon in the ollico of the county
judge , John Burnd , who resides in Kear
ney. Gastave returned homo that evening -
ing with a wife and Mr. Feathers called
early the next day for his wood. Both
> voro well pleased with the bargain. The
couple prospered and the Gorman's
thrift unu economy have madn him ono
of the wealthiest farmers in the county.
Four children blessed this union , but the
children were bereft of their nffcotion-
ute mother about two yours ago.
A Jiidlrinl .Tokc.
Judge Bradford of Nebraska City , was
a keen , bright lawyer , und never al
lowed the perpetrator of a practical
joke to escape him unless ho was repaid
foretold. In 1859 , ono Joseph Murphy
of Sidney , la. , had incurred the displeasure -
pleasure of the judge. Judge Bradford
convinced Murphy that ho would bo an
ornament to the supreme bench of Utah ,
there being a vacancy at that timo.
Murphy , nn ambitious wight , but said to
have enough brains to curry him along
in his practice us a lawyer , asked the
judge what should bo the first stop. Ho
was told that ho had hotter secure the
influence of the Nebraska judges and bar ,
beginning with Nobraslca City , and as
the lawyers of that place were a wine-
drinking , high-feeding gustatory
sot , ho had bettor , before
broaching the subject generally ,
invite them to n supper , the judge to ar
range preliminaries , if satisfactory
to the victim , and see that those whoso
inlluenco it was desirable to souuro were
on hand. The authority was given
without any restrictions being made ns
to Its extent. The day was appointed ,
supper prepared , champagne in Hoods
provided , nnd Mr. Murphy appeared
when hlb guests were iisbomblou to con
ciliate and secure friends and backers
for his high commission. Supper over
nnd the wine partly drunk , Judge Brad
ford announced that this entertainment
hud boon prepared at his instance ; that
Mr. Murphy was a candidate for the er
mine of Utah ; that ho know him well
and could vouch for his capacity ; and
bogged the guests to manifest their
friendship for him nnd their apprecia
tion of their host's generosity hy unit
ing in a gonorul recommendation of his
friend for the post ho bought.
Accordingly , u committee was ap
pointed to prepare resolutions , and at
the end of a suitable retirement and
delay , the chairman , Hon. J. Sterling
Morton , read the following :

The resolutions were , of course , voci
ferously adopted. Mr. Murphy paid the
bills , but , it Is , perhaps , unnecessary to
add , never received the nppolntmont.
An Iiirlilrnt of
Slowly nnd painfully a fqw tired oxon
dragged n huge wagon ncross the dried
up plain. The boat was intense nnd the
swollen tongues of the wonry cattle told
a story of drouth and fatigue.
Contrary to the usual custom the
freighter had his wife and children
with him , and on either flldo of the
lumbering wagon rode halt a do/un
stalwart youths nrmod with the long
barrelled rifles of that date. The pale
face of a woman , worn and , tired from n
weary vigil over a sick daughter , dying
for lack of water and proper care , was
now nnd then thrust through thu open
ing in the canvas nnd turned in mute
inquiry to the man riding beside the
wagon , "No water yit , Madco , " ho
replies sadly while n tear trickles down
his rough lace.
It was the familiar story of the curlier
days of the gold fovor. They had left
their comfortable farm in the east and
started on the long , dangerous trip lethe
the great west of which they had heard
such glowing talcs , but which was
proving a barren desert tooyos unaccus
tomed to the broad prairies where for
miles the plain stretches in ono un
broken line with no trnco of lite or
water.
"Kf this boat keeps up and wo don't
got to wutor soon half these crittors'll
bo a-dyiu' on our hands , " muttered Ilia
old man ns ho noticed the panting cattla
( milling the hot air. Suddenly tlio
loaders stopped and cruising their heads
bellowed eagerly while I twus with dilll-
culty that the riders controlled their
mounts.
The staid oxon wheeled in a direction
at right angles to the trail and in spite
of the elTorts of their drivers started at
a rapid walk which soon became a clumsy
trot. In a few moment * more they were
standing knee deep in a pool of brackish
water surrounded by soft mud and a
uhitish slime.
The thirsty animuls were much ro-
frcshod und soon pushed on lit an in-
c-oasod rule. As evening fell It was
noticed that the oxon appeared to bo in
pain and ono after another fell dying by
the trail until the wagon was hopelessly
crippled.
It wus decided to go into camp until
morning , when the horses would have to
be harnessed to the heavy wagon. Lnto
that night the dozing watchers were
startled by a rumble of hoofs and in an
instant nUurk mass of rapidly moving
bodies rushed past the wagon , whilu
their frightened horses bioko their
lariats ana followed the phantom caval
cade across the dark plain. Nothing
could bo done. Pursuit was Kbpolcss
until morning , nnd the old om'igrm !
surmibed that the stampede had been
caused by Indians who would watch fof
and pick elf any straggler who might
venture away from the shelter of thu
wugon. ' '
Lute in the afternoon of the day fol
lowing a party of frontiersmen who hud
hud hoard the bounds ot distant firing
and started to the relief found the ruin *
of a largo wagon and near it lay the
bodies of the freighter and his * sons ,
Some articles of woman 'a clothing
bcattorod about showed that the 'party '
had not consibtcd of mon alone' , and n
knowledge of the habits of the cruel
foe told the would-be rescuers that the
women of the party hud boon carried
away to 11 hopeless captivity more horri
ble than the death und mutilation
which had been the lot of of the male
members of the unfortunate family.
A well dolinod trull showed the direc
tion taken by the victorious Indians ,
and tlio brave horsemen galloped in that
direction to wrouk vengeance on thu
nnd if possible rescue their helpless cap
tives from a fate infinitely worse than
death. After a several hours' ride ,
they c.xino to a small stream on the bank
of which they found the ghastly trucoa
of diabolical torture.
Hacked and mutilated beyond recog
nition lay the charred remains of the
women they were trying to BUVO , The
Indians hud boon 'bumpered in their
flight by the helpless victims und hud
put them to u lingering death.
Reverently the rough mon dug a shal
low grave nnd tenderly laid mothers and
daughters to rest beneath the sod of that
Great West which had been frauirht
with pain und suffering : and death to
them and to many another party of san
guine , truvolors who have started on
that long journey to the Kind of gold , but
hud instead boun called to that peaceful
homo where are "treasures In heaven
where neither moth nor rust doth cor
rupt nnd thieves break through und
sleul. "
Further pursuit was ubojeas ana the
party slowly retraced their path while
the dark brows and moistened eyes told
that they were filled with thnlightH of
the terrible tragedy. F. It S.
