Tknow from personal retfollcctlon that the ciininle of tbeir par¬ ticular places of residence bad ohauged since they were boys; tbat they bad reliable landmarks to show that the streams were drying up; tbat the precipitation was growing less, and thai tbe winters were liecoming milder. notwithstandiDK tbe fact that carefully Ukeu obserrations of temperature aud rainfall for oach day for tbe previous hundred years at their place of residence showed no alteration of climate. Of course, wide variations. cootetlmea extending over periods of several years, htid occurred; but a deflcit at one time was mnde up by an excess nt another.
To be sure, change* must have taken place during geologic periods, but tbdM have been so slow tbat it is doubtful if nia-u in his civllieed state has ocmpled the earth long eoOugb to discover nn npiireeinble iiuaotlty.

Tell Women the Truth.
By Halan Oldneld.
BINCIPAI.LY the cause of wlint is called woman's unreason¬ ableness Is the direct result of her uot being told Ibc truth. Half tbc tlmo a woman does not Know bow she stands to face n problem, iH-cniso she cannot got A man to tell her llio simple facts In the case. He t\-lll sny nil sorts of soothing things to her a^d mislend her with rosy hopes, nnd he will try to mnke up by the fervor of his compliments for the lies ho Is tolling her. and so she goes bUiudcring nloug, making all sorts of mis. take*, tbat she might have been saved from If anybody hud h4the courage to lell her the truth.
A curloa* example of thia once came uuder my own observation. A mau did, leaving his widow without any moans of support, llis friends, lu the most decale way in the world, provided for bor. nnd begnn oxeriing themselves to gesoinc occupation for her by wlilch she eould suppori berself. Place uftor I'lre wa* offered,, but she scorufully rejected every ouo.
"Did you ever hear of anything so unreasonable iu your lite," cried tho mo to each other, "not a iienny iu thc worid. actually Uvlug on charity, and wu't do a thiug!" Finally lu a gust of passiou ono of the men blurted out to th woman tbe naked truth-thai ber bnsbaud bad died absolutely baukrupt, nd that bis frieud* bad beeu providing for bor. Tiie woman wns aghast. Sho hd never an Idea of the real state of affairs, aud the minute she know tho truth sl) accepted thc situation with a courage, a philosophy and a deteruiiuatlon tmake thc best of It tbat fairly astonished every oue.
Bo far as business women nre concerned, the ehlef enemy lo tbolr progress lauan's fear of icIliDg Ihcm the truth. .K mnn who bas a clerk who fnlls into rrelei* ways, or has some annoying fniilt. -will talk to bim plainly and give hn a chance to correct It before bo dismisses blm; but be wlil uoi give a girl tb «amc chnnce. He won't tell her tho truth about hor faults. He will make a excuse about business being bad, and tben lurn bor off rather thnn si.oak te truth to her. How many times bas tbat happened in our big cities: (.Iirls kow.
Another Ihlng—nnd I dou't know a more pathetic thing-Is that Ihe whole nrld sooms banded logelher lo deceive womeu about Ibe real facls of working lc.
Now there's plenty of work in tbe world for cvery Industrious nud Intelli- 9)t girl, but Il's nothing short of a crime to make iter believe tbat there Is ay get-i'icli-i|uick way to fortune; and I never rend auy of tbese romances a)Ut picturesque modes of getting a living that fails to arouse iu me a righteous catcmpt for the authors of such stories.

ONCE lu his life old Tliad Grif- fiii. Ibc trapper, did a very foolish thing; al least, thnt was wlinl be cnllcd thc act, whon lio thought of il at all, for a long titne aflerward. Two young Sioux braves having altncked him, Thad had killed one and wounded tin' other, but ho took Ihe wounded man to his cabin, dressed the wound, nursed thc Indian hnck to health, nnd then rosiurcd his guu and cnnoo, nnd tuld bim to go home to bis own people.
But tbe Indinn did not load a scalp¬ ing party back to the trappers camp, as tiritliu liad half oipectcil he would. .N'othing more was beard of blm. Three years nfter. when (IrlHlu left Fort Suolling at the oud of Sopioiubor. nud stnrled up tbe Minnesota Uivor to be gin his fall bunt, the iiieldont had al¬ most faded fro:ii his mind. He pad- illcil 10 the hoailwiuors of the I'omuie lie Terre, ai:il caiuiK-d a fow days in a Utile thickol (if sontli oak, while lie louked fipuiid to s-o what tho piuspecl was for furs ami for Indians. He had kopt his eyes open all tho way up rivor. for the Sioux wero reported to be on tho warpath. This, however, -was sumetvbal iu tho trapper's favor, for tboy wonld bo likoly to navel in big bamls. nnd with care ho might the easier avoid tlieii'.
There wore "slathers of fur signs." but nil trnces of ludlnns lu this region of i-olilug pralrlo, broken nt tho enst- ward by a bolt of heavy limlior. So one dny (iriffln set out wilb bis gun to try for a saddle of venison. Wboii the afternoon wns almnst over ho found a good sir.ed buok. and presonily start- oil for cnmp will/the hide nnd sndill-j slung to bis back.
Clear sky nnd brnciTig atniosiihoro and Ibo pidiulso of a successful seasou mnde the blood fnlriy bound through tho trapper's veins, and he strode along feeling as though he wonld like to slug. Indians wero far from bis thoughts Just thou. Tito greater waa his dismay when. Just ns be had rcachoil the top of a low ridge half way betwivn tbo woods and bla cnmp, ho snw n bnud of forty Sioux coming up ou the other side.
(irilllti bad bail mnuy n "fuss" with Ihose snme Indians, and be recoguizod thi;m Itistiiuily as bobniging to a til¬ lage that wiulorcil in the Ottorlall woods, nwny off al the uurthoast. Evi¬ dently thoy bad been oul un iho Da¬ kota pi-alrles for a big buffalo bunt. fiH'r-thoy were on fool nnd leadiug Ibelr pilules, wbiob w^mc loaded with hides and dried moat,
Flnt ill the grnss dropped (.•rl:nn, but uol soon enough to o.icapo tbo sharp eyes of ibe Indians. Italsliig n terrltlc whoop, Ihey left the poni.^s to look out for Ibomselvos, and cnmo on In a body, while (Jrilfln slipped thc venison from his shoulders and started nt bis besl paee toward the bolt of limber.
Tho Indians were not more Ihnu two hundred yards away whob Gritlin sightoil them; but In running bo had the advaiiiago of going down bill, nnd he hnd almost doubled tho distnuce before they renehed the top of the rlilg' nnd begnn to shoot nt hlni. .None of tho bullets happened to hit ilio mov¬ ing target.
Griffln glaneod over his shoiil.lor. As ho expected, n dozen of |1„. swlflosl runners bad tbrowu off their blankets and. knives In band, were approachiug at a rnle thnt nioant misi-hlef for n mau who iiiust cMng lo n iwclvopound gnu. Bul Iho it-apper had boon In worse pinoos tbnn this, nud bo fell that if h,. coulil eii.-e gel Iuto the woods, with night falling, ho could dodge the I ml ians.
He was siiil a half lull., fnmi Ihe timber when bo looked back ouco mun'. Otic of the bi-av.s was now far In ad¬ vance of Ibo oihers. bul all his pur Biiors woro gaiiiing. ami (irltllu began lo fonr thai ho might l..«o the race. tlio.l as he was fnini his bunl nU'I haiidi.-appeil by th.' wilgbl he carried. That furciiiuvi ludiau must die! Gl illlil sla, keticd his pac n IriH.'. Hint Iw- inlglit get bis iM-onlh before trying to la;.' aim. The Indian put ou an cvtrii burst of speed.
When Gi-lrtin was rlose to the timber Iho b'ading Indian had cuinc so neai (hat the Irappir cuuld b.-ni the pnti.'c of his footsteps Tbinkiiig it must bo now or never, tbe Irapprr wh,., led ami was nbuut 1,1 pull triggei- wlien his advot-snvy ni.-ide a nioveiiienl ihal caused Grirtln lo hesitat.. frum shier stirprlKc. The Indian waved hint to¬ ward the woods.
"Wblle man no siiooi:" be shoulod. "Mo him friend: No slop: Injun uo kel.-h uiu!"
The Minte man took a good look This yes. Ihis was llie same yuung brave he lin.l spared and iiurs"d: Ural. izing that. Grirtln grasped the moaning uf the words, and insianlly In- faced ubout atlll made for the wuods aga.ii

It was S'l cnutrary to Ibo trappr • tralnlug to trust sn Indian '.hat his drsi m.ivomont was to slip out his knife. Ho meant to l,e propared in case the Siuox should pounce cn lop of him.
But tho IiHli.tns tore ou ino th" for est. a:i,l after him went the oihers. I They pass.d so near the plate whero | Griftln lay that ih,-y might have b»ard I his b»r-l breath.tig ha,I they not lioen 1 running «o fast and y, lling so lustily
But a fat obi fallow who brought up [ tbe rear gave orer the , haae st the ^ edge of tbe fur.st Ho leaned against a tree noi twenty fe.t from Grldln'« ' bush, rvldonily Inti nding to wa.t unlll Ihe others came back with tbe white | man's fcslp. |
The young braves kept jp the seaich until sf.er dark    All tbat time ihe old ' fdlow Ungered tf b.s Uee. aot] GrlOIr, '

He hardly knew whst aotlon to tnke. It seemed tbat the young brave bad meaut bin to got away as soou ns tbc crowd passed: and It would be easy enoflgh to shooi the old Indian, anil then make his es.ape In Ihv tlnrkness.
But the trapper linally dicidcd that llie right thing to do was to Ilo st'll Tho old fellow migb! be his frioiid'r father for nil he know. To kill him tbero migbt throw suspicion upon th« young man. .\nd Grllflu knew thnt 11 the Indians discovered tbe trick that had been played upou ihem tbey would kill the perpetrator.
"I won't do it:" said Griffin to him self.    "Not if I lose my scalp for it."
By tbe tlmo tbe baud returned fioir tbe frultlosB cbase the trapper bad got bis bi-calh. He wasted none of it. we mny be certalu.
