Field* of Wheat In Which the Shock*
Were So Thick It We* Alnioat Im
poiilhle to Drive IJetween
Them.
To the Editor: A gentleman from
Duluth made a trip through a portion
of Western Canada last summer and
writing of what he saw, says:
"Wheat, for instance, will average
twenty-five or thirty bushels to the
acre. 1 saw shocks so thick In the
field that it would be almost impossi
ble to drive between them. Winters,
it is said are longer than near Du
luth, but the Japan current, warm
Chinook winds and dry atmosphere
make the winters comparatively mild.”
Thousands of such testimonials are
to be bad from settlers who have taken
adtantage of the low-priced lands of
Western Canada. During the present
year new districts will be opened up
In the Saskatchewan valley and ad
vantage should be taken of this at
once. Information can be had from
any agent of the government, whose
advertisement appears elsewhere in
your columns. Yours truly,

Rooming -* Herd °J ^?-°°°
Unowned Cattle
Bo vines - out west
In the northwestern corner of this
state there awaits a tidy fortune for
the man or set of men who can devise
and execute some scheme to corral it,
says a Denver writer.
Here, in what may be truly called
"Unknown Colorado," is a country
still in that interesting border condi
tion between the passing of the In
dians. the trapper and the hunter and
the advent of the settler. This region
is so recently vacated by the Indians
that the legends and t#.e scent of them
are still fresh. There a*e cattle on a
thousand hills, free of brand, and not
a bill of sale for them held by any
man. They are to be had for the
catching. With a wagon load of food,
a few cow ponies, and plenty of grit
you may secure over 2,000 fat and line
beef cattle. The old time cowboys of
Routt and Rio Blanco counties know
of their existence, and more than one
has tried by some means to become
their owner. Several years ago an
eastern speculator, who had learned
Ihe story while passing through the
country, formed a small company, but
ills capital and patience gave out while
following elusive trails and the cattle
still roam unbranfied. Joe Burgett,
the game warden, whose arrest of
some Indians precipitated a row with
the Utes some years ago, made a de
termined effort to capture these mav
ericks, but be came off with nothing
better than a broken leg. A fall from
his horse put him out of the race just
when success seemed near at hand,
when he had surpassed all previous
attempts by actually riding among
the wily brutes. In the folk-lore of
the country two stories are told. When
the Mormons, or Latter Day Saints, of
Utah, were traveling the desert in
search of their Zion, they struck por
tions of what i6 now Colorado. In or
der to better spy out the land their
forces were divided into several par
ties. One took a route through Fort
Collins anil crossed North Park from !
corner to .corner. Continuing It went j
through Egeria and Twenty Mile
Parks into what is now Routt county.
It camped one night in a large bottom,
after its usual fashiAi. A terrible
mountain storm blew up at midnight,
and the cattle, whirh were browsing
near by, became stupefied. The cus
tomary plan of circling about them !
failed to check the runaway, and soon j
1.000 head or mo:*, were coursing mad
ly down the gulch. The roughness of
the country, the blackness of the night
and the absolute madness of the cattle
made it impossible for the men to head
them off. When the storm ceased and
the morning broke 1,000 mangled
beeves were found piled one on th'>
other at the foot of a t*mendous clitT
The pilgrims passed on and today
there still remains a huge pile of
blanched bones to mark the site of the
catastrophe. A few of the cattle, how
ever. the last to go over the bank, and
whose fall was broken by the mass be
neath, managed to crawl out, maimed
and bruised, to wander forth and
propagate and multiply into the herd
that now Inhabits the valleys of the
Snake and Bear rivers. The other
solution is credited to the Indian de
partment. Cattle furnished to the va
rious Indian agencies were all branded
with Vnele Sam’s special "I. D.” It is
told that, when the Indians were trans
ferred from the range of the White
rtver to their present reservations In
Utah, the department cattle were
hastily and carelessly rounded up and
sent with them. Later round-ups de
veloped the fact that a large number
of cattle had been overlooked. It is
supposed that the present cattle are
the offspring of others who escaped
the second and third of those haphaz
ard round-ups.

' CTflU V A Touching and Tragic ;!
I ^ 1 U^ Incident of tv Civil ;!
mTmL/Z War Battlefield. W |»
"Whenever 1 see a tasseied Turkish
fez." says a confederate veteran, "1
am reminded of a curious and grewsome
incident of my campaigning days.
It was on the morning after the second
battle of Manassas." he continued,
"and several of us from my company
had gone over to the field in the hope
of picking up a few things that we
badly needed and for which the dead
had no further use—waterproofs, for
instance, and sound canteens. During
the previous day's engagement.you may
remember that a regiment of freshly
recruited New York zouaves held the
crest of a hill and were charged and
almost annihilated by Hood's brigade.
They were mowed down like ripened
grain, and fell so thickly that the
corpses literally carpeted the earth.
Well, we hadn't gone very far when we
came to this hill, and began to get
among the dead men. The poor fellows
had been mustered into service less
than a week before, and they were said
to be the most gorgeously uniformed
military troop ever organized. They
wore scarlet Turkish trousers, blue
jackets, embroidered with gold bul
lion braid, and purple fezes with long
pendent tassels.
"1 had picked up a Hz to carry away
as a relic, and was about to leave the
spot, when I happened to notice a
much handsomer specimen on the head
of a little zouave stretched out a few
yards away, with a handkerchief over
his face. I stepped up to make a
‘swap,’ but bad scarcely touched the
tassel when a low, sweet-voice under
the handkerchief said. ‘Please don't!’
"For a moment,” continued the vet
eran, "that unpleasant protest, coming
from what 1 had supposed to be a
corpse, made my hair bristle on my
head. Then 1 lifted the handkerchief,
and was shocked to see the delicate,
refined features of a boy not over 15.
He was pale as death, and evidently
desperately wounded, but he looked at
me calmly. 'My God!' I exclaimed,
'what a lad you are to be here?’ ‘I’m
afraid 1 am dying unless I have help.’
he replied. ‘Do you think the surgeons
will be around pretty soon?' ‘The
Lord knows,’ 1 groaned, for the boy’s
courage touched me to the heart.
'Your surgeons have all run away, and
we only have a few.’ ‘Then 1 guess all
I can do is to lie here quietly and die,
he said in the same gentie voice. ‘Can
you get me a little water before you
go?'
"I filled his canteen and gave him a
drink and he thanked me. 'Is there
nothing else I can do?' I asked , be
cause I knew our company was under
early marching orders that morning,
and that it would be impossible for in*
to linger much longer. ‘Nothing at all.
thank you,’ he replied. ‘No message to
anybody?’ 'No—nothing, thanks.’
•‘1 turned away most reluctantly, and
had gone only a few yards when 1
heard his thin voice calling me back
'Excuse me,’ he said, ‘but I want you to
accept this as a present,’ and he
handed me his fine purple fez. ‘No’
no!' 1 exclaimed greatly embarrassed;
‘I couldn't think of accepting it. When
I started to, a little while ago I
thought you—you—’ ‘You thought I
was dead, of course,' he interrupted
‘Well, I soon will be. and that other fez
will do me just as well. Please put it
on my head and take mine.’ 1 saw
that he would be hurt unless I did a<
he desired, so I took the fez and went
away. In less than half an hour our
company was on the march, and. need
less to say I never heard anything
more of the little child zouave. He was
badly wounded and undoubtedly died
where 1 left him.”

One of the most common questions
asked by tourists on the railroad
trains which labor through the can
yons and over the passes of the Great
Divide is the cause of the bare streaks
on the mountainsides, where spaces of
varying width have been cleared of
timber, bowlders, everything which
protruded above the surrounding sur
face, making a path as distinct and
cleanly cut on the sides as if some
Titan of the hills had drawn a mam
moth rake from peak to base. The
explanation that it was caused by a
snowsllde answers the question, and
seems, no doubt, commonplace enough
to the tourist. Those who leave the
rails and flare over the mountain roads
and trails during the summer months
grow to have a certain respect for the
mighty forces that can strip the side
of a mountain and pile up timber and
stone in the valley below sufficient to
warm a city's houses and to pave a
city's streets; but the man who really
appreciates the strength and destruct
iveness of a snowsitde is he who from
choice or circumstances remains in the
mountains through the cycle of the
seasons—the man who sees Nature's
wheels go round. She in her strenu
ous moods takes to the mountains to
work off her superfluous energy; she
reaches the extreme in everything;
her rains ar© cloud-bursts; her heat
makes the seething air visible; her
snow and winds blind and overwhelm.

A pony, from Iceland, is exhibited
at Paris that stands only thirty inches
high and it is regarded as a wonder.
But he is a freak of nature. In Corea
the ponies are all freaks apparently.
Clive Bigham in a book of travel in
China and Korea, says that no de
scription can ever summarize all the
remarkable characteristics of the Ko
rean horse, or rather pony. He is, to
begin with, only the size of a large
Newfoundland dog. He is a past mas
ter at buck-jumping. He never fails
to kick or bite any human being or
other animal that he can reach. This
is so much the case that at night he
has to he slung up by the girths un
der his body, his hoofs just off the
ground, while he spends his time
squealing and trying to savage his
stable companions, when not drinking
the hot, mashed-up bean gruel that
forms his only subsistence. In the
daytime, however, he is a good beast
of burden; but no amount of coaxing J
ever appears to change his disposition,
and he Is always equally delighted to
punish the leg that mounts or tho
hand that feeds him.
Variety may be the spice of life, but
most men seem to prefer cloves.

mixed and shaped into blocks of the
desired size. The latter are then put

Disregard for the law asrairst ex

at last moved the New York health
department to action. Tuesday nto n
nig seventy officers of the department
ir citizen's attire were detailed to
travel ail day in the cars of the various
companies throughout the city and on
all the ferry boats. They had orders
to arrest any person found violating
the ordlnace. Before noon several men
were compelled to accompany thp offi

they were fined and warned against a
repetition of the offense.

Sumpter, 111., June 10th.—Mrs. J. B.
Flanigan, of this place, had suffered
with dropsy for fifteen years. She was
so very bad that for the last three
years she has not been able to wear
her shoe.?. She had doctored ail the
time, but was gradually getting worse.
Last winter Mr. Flanigan, who wras
very much discouraged, called for some
medicine at Mr. J. J. Dale's drug store
in Carmi. Mr. Dale persuaded him to
have his wife try Dodd’s Kidney Pills,
and he bought six boxes. His wife used
five out of the six, before she was en
tirely cured. She is now as sound and
as well as ever stie was, completely re
stored to health, and free from any
symptom whatever of dropsy.
To say that Mrs. Flanigan is plensed
at her wonderful deliverance does not
half express her feelings, and she and
Mr. Flanigan are loud In their praises
of Dodd’s Kidney Pills, and of Mr.
Dale for recommending this wonderful
remedy to them.
The fact that Dodd's Kidney rills
cured Mrs. Flanigan of such a severe
case of dropsy, after the doctors had
given her lip, has made them the mo-t
talked of remedy ever known in White
county.

writes the Peruna Medicine Company as follows:
Gentlemen —“After four years of Intense suffering, caused hv systemic
catarrh, which ! contracted while editing, and traveling for my paper, ! have
been greatly relieved by the use of Peruna. I gave up work during these yean
of torture, tried various remedies and many doctors, but all the permanent
relief came from the use of Peruna. My trouble was called indigestion, but it
was catarrh all through my system, and a few bottles of Peruna mode me feel
like another person, noting the impmvement after I had used the first bottle•
Peruna Is undoubtedly the best catarrh remedy ever compounded. —Clem O.
Moore.
Captain Percy W. Mors, Paragmild,

ever prepared, and it has taken but two
bottles to convince me of this fact.”
