At present the northern districts of

havo partly escaped tho nll-pcrvndlng
drought.

Tho Federal governments nro trying
to mitigate tho suffering eniiRed hy the

ing stock helng carried on the railways

Australia's sheep king McCaughey

A most rcmnrknblo thing Is that the
4-year-old catllo In Western Queens-

common method of reviving exhausted
horses and stock Is to silt the pnlatn

thirst having been accelerated by the
mirages of cool grassy evasive sheets
of water which are frequent In Aus

drought.
Tho upholding of the duties on fod-
der has aggravated the situation Intol-
erably. Formerly In such times as the
present Inrgo quantities of fodder were
Imported from New Zealand but the
heavy tariff now Imposed renders that
means of relief unavailable. The Fed-
eral parliament was recently nsked to
authorize n suspension of tho duties fur
six months huj tho request wns
negntlved.
Ono squatter now Is paying over $t.

posslhle. And It Is even nsserted tint
where thero Is no other choice between
two young cnndldntes for n commis-
sion It Is bestowed on thn slnglo man
In preference to ono who Is married.
Kven then It Is recognized however
that tho bachelor appointed I not like-
ly to continue long in single blessed-

INDIAN'S STYLE OF GAMBLING
-a l
White men gnmble with cards but
tho Indian uses gnyly colored sticks
with which to woo capricious fortune.
Tho ThenlkeetH "deck" consists of 30
sticks which they nnmn "crnlis"
"ducks" etc.
The sticks nro shuffled and seven nro
hid In n tuft of grass. The remainder
nro covered. Tho gnmo consists In
guessing lu which pile nro certain of
the nulmuls tinmed. Tho Indians will
stnkn all they possers. Including wlvcn
and children on the game.
Similarly the Haltlahs play "odd nnd
even" with sticks the winner being he
who gels nil the sticks.
Tlie game of tho Colvlllea Is called
"nllcollock" nnd Is played with spears
cast through rings.
Nenrly nil tho Sellsh tribes of thn
Ilrltlsh Northwest territories scorn the
orillnnry forms of gambling nnd bet
only on horso racing.
