Bxperience signifies trial test, Our senses were given us to test the eternal world and know what it contains by ox- perience.

Some herd- ers have as many as 5,000 sheep; but a cattle king at my side tells me that half that number is all that any one man can safely keep from the wolves that coustantiy lie in wait. There is con- stant enmity between. the cattle men and sheep men. *‘Moutana is being ruined,” says the cautle king, “Why, what is the matter?” “Sheeped!” Instead of telling me that the glo- rious Grampian hills on which Norval’s sive feeds his fleecy flocks are being de- nuded of native verdure by these innu- merable wooly folds, the great cattle king and the king of laconics simply says: “*Sheeped.” Two tremendous engines groan their work as when we cros; the Oregon Sierras—and here also is tunnel; not a notably long one, but enough to tell you that these lofty pus- ture lands ave not quite so smooth and level as they look. Down, down, down! You turn and cork-screw around mountains that have been hali washed away by the hydraulics of former gold huniers. Hundvreds of deserted old cabins, cov- ered with earth, dustand ashes on their heads as they stoop under the weight of years, dot the roadsides and mountain tops. All the way, up and down, to right and to left, you see shafts and tunnels, with tons and hundreds of tons of quartz—white quartz and yellow quartz—at their mout The miner is not nearly done with Montana yet. In an incredibly short time we cross the Missouri viver. He is striking out direct for Canada, with all the yellow dust of both his banks. **I should like to know how the coun- try looks between here and Canadag a wilderness, I reckon, of wild animals and impenétrable woods,” The cattle king unhooked his left leg from the corner of a seat before us and set it down on the floor of the car with emphasis, “I'll give you a pointer, young man,” began, almost savagely. “This coun- v is settled up from here to Canada, and for hundreds of miles further on; and itissettled up on the other side of this rond from here to Salt Lake, and from Salt Lake on down to Mexico. Yes, sirl You can get on a horse and ride from here to Mexico and put up at a house every nmight: same way to the vorth, sir, . Will you go with me out to my ranch? Only forty miles out; cur- riage waiting for me at the next sta- tion. Come; will send you back in the morning, if you like.” And I went. The country I found to be much the same as that we had crossed in the cars; the same old, majestic, grassy hills; only not &0 badly “sheeped,” The same herds ol cattie; scattering pines, pleasant brooks; birds innumerabl wild berries, wild flow- ers; the wild roses were in full bloom, and the banks of some streams were red; the air redolent of wild roses. At this home, forty miles from the railroud, and almost on the top of the Rocky Mountains, 1 fouad not only comfort but culture of a high order, This man had gone to France, Scotlund, Jersey, Germany, for his cattle and horses. He has "none other than the finest stock to be found in the world, And he assured me that there are plenty of other men notonly in Mon- tana, but in adjoining countries, who :qn‘e even better stock ranches than his, ‘Tuis little side excurslon taught me more than [ can now record.

As for myself, I hired a horse, tolo- f,vruyhml ahead to a half-way station or a fresh animal to be held in wait- ing,andat 11 . m., without arms or equipments, I swung in the saddle and sot off at a havd gallop for ‘“‘the great- est show on earth.” It was rather a reckless undertaking, for I did not know the rond; storms were browing: rivers to crossi bad bridges; lots of things, indeed, rose up before me as I plunged on ten, twenty, thirty miles, and hegan to grow weury, thivsty. Tho sun wasso hot that the iin falling from a sudden thunder- storm almost blistered my hands, so hot wore the first groat drops. But it would be a digression to con- tinue this. Suffice it to say now that I ot there in one day by using three horses, the third horse having been made necessary by my mistaking & lum- ber road and thus losing fifteen miles. I spent one day about the park, aud then [ rode back in one day, thus “do- ing’ the National park in grand style i three days. My entire expenses amounted to #25.50 only, thus making a suving of two days and about one-tnird of the money cost, I ought to mention, however, that the mile drive which afriend gave me inside the park is not counted in my bill of costs. This, L am free to admit, had I been called upon to pay for it, would alone have been & heavy matter. Besides, I am bound to add,few men have been born and bread to the snddle as I have been; so that few could take such a ride with comfort. Perhaps the advisable thing would be for several purties to pool in together, hire not only horses but a paek horse, cook, and soon; and so hunt and fish, travel or rest, us you will to and back again, I imul from $2 to % per day for horses, as coula eateh them, being in tremend- ous haste. But plenty of horses are to be had at $1 per day for such a trip as I have intimated. But to go ahead We dropped right down by the sand stone banks of the Yellowstone river for hundreas of miles on my return to the train. The grand old leonine mountains of Moutana began to forget their splendor as our faces continued to the cast. The old-gold color of the huge hills began to fade away. Sage brush and sand and and and go brush! The weary, dreary levels of the plains began 1o fret the horvizon to the left and to the right and before as far as the could travel, We are taught in school books—or were when I was a boy—that it is the Yellowstone that makes the Mis- souri _so turbid. The fact is the Yellowstone is like glass for the first few hundred miles. Such another trout stream is not to found on the continent. Butas you descend to- wards the Cathedral Hills—miscalled the **Bad Lands” by the cow-boys—the waters from the Big Horn river come tearing 1n from the south, washing down sand and soapstone, and ashes and alkali. The Big Horn river isas vast #s an uncompleted world and empties its chips and debris into the Yellowstone, A little further on and Powder river pours a pulverized desert in3 and from that joint on the Yellow- stone is yellow indeed. Custerr City is here: then the Rose- bud agency, both dreamy plains, with- out prospect or promise of any sort. I got off and put two d: in'the most profitless way possible. My purpose was to get av the secret and bottom of Sitting Bull's life and powerful in fluence with his people; for the old hero is said to be seriously itl now. The Indians are sullen; and the agents, navrow-headed politicans, and of course suspicions ns & rule, are to be avoided rather than con- sulted in cases of this kind. I employed an Indian and his two ponies; and we rode ana rode and rode, till the sun was so intolerably hot that, for the first time in my life, in any enterprise so far as I remember, I ordered ar treat. My first purpose, of course, was to seo the country, My second purpose was to see the battle-field where Custer, my dear fri-ud, fell. A third and deepest plan was in some kindly fashion to get down into some subterranean passage of my Indian’s heart and find thus some secret route to the bosom of Sitting Bull, Well, the country was surely not worth fighting for. Out of it all Tcould only gather this one thought: that the land here and for hundreds of miles about is so dismal and so desolate. so de- void of beauty or possible utility, that the savages of the plains chose it as their last retrent, with the vain hope that the desolation, the hot sand and sun, the dirty waters and the drear wastes would defend them in their final extremity as they could not hope to de- fend themselves. This, I think, was their thought when they sat down here, housed in desola- tion, when Custer found them,and fell in battle “*with all his kiudre: i side.” As for my second purpose, it was qutog as fruitiess. The Indian would not re- spond one word to any one of the three dialects learned from " tribes in the sun- set world, but insisted on saying what little he had to say in English monosyl- lables. And as for learning anything worth telling ubout the old prophet, Sitting Bull, all effert, as I suid before, was a blank failure, “Miles Cityl” The brakeman who shouted this into our migratory tunnel, known as the “dining car,” was not at all dusty now. And as 1 cume out through the cars to geta platform view of the city that beurs the name of that valued friend of mine, [ saw the wisp broom on every side. Ah! how mugh in little here. 1 knew from the wisp broom that there were women in Miles City; that they were neat women,and pretty women too, and as good as gold, or they would not be so greauly respected. 1 borrowed a wisp broom and went to work on my self, weary as I was from my Yellow- stone ride and from my search for Cu ter’s old battle-ground. Miles City is building It is alveady a big place! mostly built of bri A big, broad, muddy rivep to the mnorth; brown and white sandstone bluff, left and right a mile or two back; and then the buffalo-grass indefinitely for hun- dreds of miles, I reckon; but no buffalo now. Atone place I saw & heap of buffulo heads, gathered up and laid by the road side by bone gatherevs, to lie there till a heap big enough to stop a freight car can he collected. As we near the Dakota line the Cathedral hills, the cow boys’ *Bad S AR 15 OCTOBER 7, 1889, Tands,” break up and disappear under low and undulating hills of verdant grass, These Cathedeal hilis are cities; cities of the most picturesquo color an original architecture on earth.

And may T indulge an idea of min which has been with me since boyhoode When the Spaniard came with eathe- dral and holy shrine omblazoned on his gnudy banners and imploments of bat- tle, the Indians saw these and said to the Spaniard: “We have a place like this far away up boyond the head-waters of the Colorado.
