At noon the brothers reached the Miniskanskan, or mysterious springs of hot water, which were known to be healing to many complaints of the body, and which were considered as gifts, direct to the Sioux, of the ‘Most Mysterious.” In the nelghhor hood of these springs the young men thought that they might find “Trall of the Good.” are talk- with to our mav for it will gO we ye horses, and shortly af stolen away lodge, they repicketed their got for commis becaure of mysterions were these young barbarians. for two years been penned In with their tribe upon a reservation, ll the freedom of the old life cut ff because of their fightings.

A little way off the road the Crows sat looking at these unconcernsl riders. When they were opposite, they hailed the brothers, demanding in the sign language to know who they were and what was the na i ture of their errand. The brothers answered by making signs of mys tery, holding their hands aloft and waving them spirally, and signifying by other motions that thelr mission | was holy or mysterious.

Some Long-Distance Performances of the Late "70's, The twenty-four hours’ walking match at the stadium takes the mem: ory back to the late "70s, when sim Har long-distance competitions flour shed amazingly under the aegis of Bir John Astley and when BE. P. Wes. ton Howes, Vaughan and Hibberd were the heroes of the hour. Though Weston, the pioneer. accom: plished some fine performances, they were soon eclipsed by our own walk ers, whose feats created a great sen sation at the time. One of the best of them all was Billy Howes, a lit tle one-eyed athlete, who walked 100 miles in the truly marvelous time of 18 hours 8 minutes 15 seconds, a rec ord which still remains unapproached. Hibberd covered Afty miles in 7 hours 54 minutes 16 seconds, and without stopping lowered all existing records up to seventy miles, for which dis tance his time was 11 hours 38 min utes 36 seconds. Even more wonderful was the per formance of George Littlewood, who, at SheMeld, tramped 631 miles In 138 hours 48 minutes 30 seconds, an aver age of not much less than four miles an hour, night and day, between Sun day and.

Some Business With Japan, The Japanese ministry of finance publishes in English and French an edition of its annual financial report for 1907, indicating which countries are the best clients of the empire. First comes the United States, with 131,101,015 yen; then China, with 85,619,233 yen. These two countries alone represent almost one-half of the total exports of Japan in a year generally unfavorable, since the de. preciation of silver and the monetary crisis have sensibly affected the com. mercial and industrial circles, The 000 and exports a little more than 432,000,000.—New York Tribune. # a AW # ive RS —— TTT —— ATTIANEYS, D. * 7omTuEy ATTORNEY -AT-LAW 71%] ind 1 ELLERONTE PA Offos North of Gourt Bouse — ey Ww.
