a man who had nothing io do but

"Yer needn't tell me anything
about Injuns," continued the cow
boy, replying to a remark of the
old maid's. "I've lived with 'em
an' aeen 'em. They're treacherous
filthy critters. I've had their bui-
lcts an' their anows into me. an'
I ter they ain't no good Injun bet
a dead Injun."
"Have you ev?r read Helen
Hunt's 'Komola'?" midly aked
the old maid.
"Helen bunted what?" replied
the cowboy, with a heavy accent
on the what.
"'Komola.' 'Komola,' a book,
written by Helen Hunt. Have you
never read it?"
"No, I never read Roman, an' if
it's anything about Injuns I don't
want ter read it. I know how you
Eastern folks feels about Injuns.
That's because you don't know

Washington, Oct. 13. Naval
officers who are close to tbe secre

truth in the rumors connecting his
name with the United States sena-
torship, vice Evarta. This con
viction ia not based bo much on
any intormation they have as to
the secretary's aspiration in this
direction, as on the reports tbty
receive irom personal friends from

here. This, hat foi med one ol tbe
principal topics of private coriy
tpondencc lietween the sfticials of
the navy department and their
friends in New York during tbe
past week and letteis received
ucre have produced one general
conclusion that the next senator
from New York will be the present
secretary of the navy. Were it
necessary for Mr. Tracv to leave
the navy department at once in
order to accept it. he would prob
ably lie lo tth to do so, but as he
w ould not be sworn in as a t enator
until Decemlier, 18111, he could
still -emain at the head of the
navy department another year, by

can le gotten to leave her neeteven
