LITTLE BREECHE&
t don't bo much on religion,
I never ain't had no show;
But I've got a tnlddlin' tight grip, sir,
On the handful o' things I know.
I don't pan out on the prophets,
And free-will, nnd that sort of thing
lint I b'llevo lu God and the angels
Ever since one night last spring.
I come into town with some turnips,
nd my Uttle Gabe came along
No four-year-old In the county
Could beat htm for pretty and strong,
Peart, and chippy, and sassy,
Always ready to swear nnd fight
And I'd larnt him to chaw terbacker
Jest to keep his milk-teeth white.
The snow came down like a blanket
As I passed by Taggart's store;
I went in for a jug of molasses
And left the team at the door.
They scared nt something and stnrted
I heard one Uttle squall,
And hell-to-spllt over the prairie
Went team, Little Breeches, and all,
t
Hell-to-spllt over the pralrlel
1 was almost frore with skecr;
But we rousted up some torches,
And searched for 'em far and near.
At last we struck horses and wagou,
Snowed under a soft, white mound,
Upset, dead beat but of little Oabc
No hide nor hair was found.
And here all hope soured on me
Of my fellow-critter's old
I Jest flopped down on my marrow-bones,
Crotch-deop lu the snow aud prayed.
By this, the torches was played out,
And me nnd Hrul Parr
Went off for some wood to a sheepfold
lhat he said was somewhar thnr.
We found It at last, and n little shed
Where they shut up the lambs nt nig.it.
We looked lu and seen them huddled thar,
So warm, and sleepy, and white,
And thar sot Little Breeches aud chirped.
As peart as ever you see,
"I want a chaw of terbacker,
Aud that's what tho matter of me."
How did he git thar? Angels.
Ho could never bavo walked In that
storm,
They Jest stooped down and toted him
To whar it was safe and warm.
And I think that saving a little child,
Aud fotching him to his own,
Is a durned sight better business
Than loafing around the Throne.

F9R A HUDSON BAY RAILWAY.
Dream of Cunadlans Now Likely
Become m Henllty.
to
The statement a few days ago that
the Canadian government has equipped
a party which will begin at onco tho
exploration of tho vast wilderness ly
ing north of the Great Lakes seems to
indicate that tho project for a IIui
son Bay railway, which has been a
dream for many years, may becomo 11
reality In tho near future. Llttlo lb
known of the character of tho coun
try between tho lakes and James'
bay, but what has been heard from
hunters and Indian guides leads to tho
belief that the section is wealthy, with
deposits of coal and ore, with great
forests, aud with land suitable for agri
culture. The task of surveying these exten
sive tracts will be a stupendous one,
and the Canadian government does not
expect thnt tho labors of tho survey
ing party will bo completed within
two years.
Although Canadians realized the
wealth of the Hudson Bay country, nnd
talked about a railroad for It for more
titan twenty years, they finally wero
forced to stand asldo and watch Amer
ican capital do the business. The first
step was taken something over a year
ago, when a road was built north from
Sault 8te. Marie Into the forests In
the Moose Blver country, chiefly to
carry pulp to tho mills at the "800."
While It Is by no means certain that
this road will ever get as far north as
James' Bay, it Is headed that way.
From the "Soo" to Moose Factory,
the southernmost point of James Bay,
Is a distance of about 500 miles. The
Moo.se river, from Its headwaters at
Brunswick Post, seventy miles north
of the Canadian Pacific line, Is 42fi
miles long, and the road would 'follow
Its course for the most part, not 'much
allowance being made for deviations.
Tho upper stretches of tho river run
for considerable distances through
muskeg, or swampy land, and for a
long stretch the surrounding country,
though henvlly timbered, is compara
tively level.
It would not offer any more dif
ficult problems of engineering in rail
road buildlug than have been, solved
satisfactorily In the pineries and
swamp lands In northern Minnesota
and Wisconsin.
It is' not certain thnt the stories of
the vast mineral wealth of the Moose
river country are Justified, for little
prospecting has been done. But aside
from the timber, a rich farming coun
try undoubtedly could bo opened along
the valley of that river by a railroad.
Men who have traveled through from
the American line to James' Bay re
port abundant evidence of the rich fer
tility of the soil.
With a railroad, that section, now a
desolate waste, would become one of
the richest agricultural sections of Can
ads. The argument made against its
agricultural development is that short
seasons would make diversified agricul
ture Impossible and that grain would
not thrive.
Tlwae familiar with Ike country,
t-haaravar, report that the season along
itlie Moose river Is not so much shorter
than that of Manitoba, one of the
greatest wheat belts of the world. Fif
ty miles south of James' Bay the cli
mate Is not nffected by the changes of
the eon. Every Hudson Bny post has
Its garden patch, where all Kinds of
vegetables aro raised.
The development of these rich farm
ing lands would, It Is thought, be a big
Investment for any road. The Moose
river drops 1,000 feet In 425 miles, and,
being a constant succession of rapids,
offers wonderful opportunities for man
ufacturing through the development of
its water power.
WAS A FAMOUS FIGHTER.
Portrait of Oen. Clnrk Hnnira to the
War Department.
In the olllce of tho Secretary of War
there hangs a fluo'oli portrait of Gen.
George Rogers Clark, which is of Inter
est Just nt the present time, as It Is this
Gen. Clark who figures prominently lit
a popular novel nnd piny. Moreover,
the painting nttrncts additional Interest
from the fact that Its origin and how
it reached Itg present place are ques
tions which no ono now In the War De
partment BceniB to be nblo to answer.
The portrait shows the General In tho
old buff nnd blue uniform of our fore
fathers' times, says n writer In tho
Cleveland Plain Dealer. Ills face Is
rather of tho puritanical type, with a
high forehead, close-set lips and a firm
nnd rather sharp chin. '
Gen. Clark was born in Albcmarlo
County, Virginia, In 1752, but spent tho
greater part of his life lu Kentucky and
Indiana. In 17TS he raised n small vol
unteer foro In Virginia, crossed tho
Ohio, reduced nearly nil tho British
posts between tho Mississippi and tho
great lakes and arrested the incursions
of the Western Indians. Ills marches
through the pathless wilderness were so
rapid that he generally took tho enemy
by surprise, his prudence ro great that
he rarely lost n mnn, and his daring has
novcr boon surpassed. In nttacklng VIn
cennes in February, 1770, he was live
days in wading his army across the val
ley of tho Wabash, flooded with melted
snows for a breadth of six miles, gener
ally waist deep nnd sometimes up to thu
shoulders an exploit that paralleled
Hannibal's crossing of the Tlirnsymenu
marsh.
Gen. Clark was variously employed
by the State of Virginia and the United
States up to 17SU lu maintaining pos
session of tho western country and sup
pressing Indian hostilities. Ho died In
1818 near Louisville, Ky.
This conquest and armed occupation
of tho northwest territory by Gen.
Clark was made the ground on which
tho Count do Vergcnncs and tho Ameri
can commissioners obtained for the
United. States, by the treaty of 1783, n
boundary on the line of tho great lakes
Instead of tho Ohio Blver.

that actually happened "dowu In

Barney McGnuldrlc, a landlord of that
State, nt whoso house famous men lik
ed to stay, that they might enjoy n

Barney was always loyal to his
friends. At 0110 time a new meat deal
er came to town, and trlci to seotiro
the landlord's trade.
"I have always bought meat of Jed
Haskell," said Barney, "and I guess
I won't change."
"But." said tho other, "old Haskell
doesn't know his business. Ho doosn't
even know how to cut, meat."
"Well," drawled Barney, "I've al
ways found that he knows enough
about it to cut sirloin steak clear to tho
horn, and that's good enough for me."
