Before I could fasten the door tli

I sprang behind some casks and bid
myself there, feeling, however, sure
that they would And and kill me.
There can lie no doubt about my fate
If the savages had uot been more eager
for plunder and whisky than they were
for vengeance.
As It was. one of them at once rushed
to a cask of whisky, the head of which
he stove In with his hatchet, and with
the greatest eageiuens the whole
crowd began to help themselves to the
contents.
That they would drink themselves
drunk was now my only hope and op
portunity, and I quietly kept out of
sight behind the empty barrels to await
events.
Tbe Idiotic abandon and general
'cutting up" ot the savages as they
came under the influence of the whisky
was very ludicrous; but you may be
sure I kept my laughter to myself. In
an hour all were hoielessly lutoxlcnted,
except one big fellow who seemed to
have a stronger head than the rest.
I now felt that with my pistol In my
hand I could light at least on equal

rascal precipitated matters by turning
over the cask of whisky while climbing
to reach some plunder that be wanted
on an tipper shelf. In doing this a
live coal was Jarred oflt of tbe stove
Into the lhiuor on the floor and the
room was immediately In flames. The
Indian who had caused the catastrophe
sprang toward tbe door, but my pistol
ended his career.
The whisky was soon consumed, as
there was but little left, and the fire
was put out without doing large dam
age, but many of tbe drunken savages
on the floor were fatally burned. When
the men came back from the lake and
found so many dead Indians and saw
the general ruin they were amazed,
and supposed I deserved all tbe credit

when It was merely an accident that

He sent it to a member of tbe firm,
who read It and threw up both bands.

Shore Cargoe that Hhift.
"Once In a while we lead," said Mr.
Bozssle, "that tbe ship 8o-and-8o or the
steamer So-and-So lias returned to
port, or has arrived, perhaps, with 'a
decided list; cargo shifted.' Sometimes
we see a land craft, a truck, with cargo
shifted a big pile of boxes, towering
high, shaken over to cue side or the
other by continued Jolting along on
the side of the street on the slope.
"A load thus shifted can't be shaken
buck by running along on tbe opposite
slope of the road; It is like a stick of
wood that has been bent and kept bent J
till tbe grain is set; whatever you do
with It the crook stays In, I
"If care is exercised In turning cor
ners and In navigating generally,' tbe
shifted load can usually be carried to '
its destination as It Is without upset-1
ting, though It may work harder; the
experienced truckman knows , just
what can be done with It, and whether
It has shifted so far as It will go, and
all that. If It Is so badly shifted a to
make the operation of the truck dlfll
cult or dangerous, he hauls to one side
by the curb and anchors that Is to
say, be halt and unloads the shifted
top course of bl cargo and then re
load aud make everything trim and
secure and sets out again.",
The renewing of an old orchard in

and turning the sod under, followed
by an application of 10 bushel of air
lacked time per acre. A disk bar
row may then be used, when a liberal
coating of manure should be given,
allowing it 40 remain on the surface of
the ground a a mulch. Owing to tbe
roots the plowing cannot be done close
