Scattered everywhereAamong northwestern
Indians are the half-breeds, being children OF
French and Scotch, or American males by
squaws; for in this mixture, it will always be
observed, that the white race is aggressive
and uppermost In this present and benevo-
lent attempt to absorb the Red race, the
French have always been foremost The
Frenchman is your true cosmopollte. Where
ever he finds, Gas lisping friend of ours ut
tiers it) ''thott womanth eyths,' he is there
Traders and white men, who have lived with
the Indians, have almost all taken or bought
Indian wives. The price of squaw varies
from blanket and piece of calico, to gun
aud horse the price being paid to the faith
er or next relative of the bride. If an Indian
wishes to show an act of high generosity to
white man, he trots out and presents to him,
wild young squaw; and although the squaws
do all the labor-carrying all the wood and
water, building fires, packing and putting up
tepees, raising corn, and in fact doing every
thing but the smoking and shooting--they are
not slaves, or ifthey are, their slavery is quite
voluntary. They have more energy, more
sense, and more strength than the males. 1t
is observable that squaws who are here be-
longing to the remote bands, have children
with hair and eyes almost invariably black /:
which is by no means true of squaws living
near the mississippi river. Various theo-
ries may be offered to explain this fact upon
physiological principles, the least plausible OF
which is, that it is owing to the different COW
ering of the head.
His Majesty, Limping-Devil, head-chief
OF the Slssetons Of the Two-woods band, has
arrived. The first thing he did after asking
for beef, was to inquire for Secretary Smith.
With him came an Indian about fifty years
old, dressed in the. most extravagant style of
Indian fashion, who is known as the hand
some man." He says he has had 81 wives
kept trying, but found no one that was quite
the thing in every respect, although one of
his wives who died was pretty near the right
thing He says that woman is like horse
very hand to find faultless that when wo-
man did not suit him he turned her off we'll
dressed and mounted on a good horse, and
tried another: that the women were always
running after him, and he never saw a girl
that did not want him. Says he, 81 am not
a handsome man, but there is something a.
bout me, | don't know what, that makes the
girls all like me-" The Indians standing a
bout and is listening to this coneeited old
dandy, said they felt ashamed to hear him
talking so like fool.

Thrilling hmcidemis of battle
CATCHING BULLETS IN THE MOUTH.

CATCHING BULLETS IN THE MOUTH.
There is a man now living in East Dix
field, Oxford county, Maine, who actually
caught in his mouth a ball discharged from q
musket. He was at the battle of Brdgewa
ter, in the war of 1912, and while biting of
the end of a cartridge, for the purpose o
loading his gun, was struck by ball, which
entered the left side of his face, knocked ou
eight of his teeth, cut off the end of'hs tongue
and passed into his throat. He raised it, went
to the hospital, stayed out the remainder o.
his enlistment, and returned home with the
bullet in his pocket.-Erchange paper.
The New Orleans Picayune, one of whose
editors was an eyewitness of most of the lea
ding battles in Mexico, copies the foregoing
paragraph, and appends to it the following:
We can relate an incident even more
strange than this. At the siege of Monterey,
in 1916, and while Gem Worth's troops were
advancing to storm the small fort known as
La Soldada, man named Waters, an excel
lent soldier, belonging to Capt Ben McCul-
loch's Rangers, caught bullet directly in
his mouth. 1t was fully the size of hens
egg, was rough uneven in shape, and in its
course completely carried out the four upper
front teeth of the Ranger, and part of the
Jaw, cut off the four lower teeth as with a
chisel, split his tongue in twain, carried away
his palate, went through to the back of his
head, and striking a tendon glanced down
and lodged under the skin on the shoulder
blade, where it was extracted by surgeon,
and safely lodged in the pocket of Waters for
future reference.
No man thought the wounded ranger could
live-he could neither swallow food nor wa
ter. We saw him two nights afterwards, in
a room in the Bishops Palace, which had
been converted into a hospital, sitting bolt
upright among the wounded and the dying,
for the nature of his terrible hurt was such
that,he could not lie down without suffocating.
His face was swollen to more than twice its
ordinary slLe-hS was ePStCuicSS, ol COURSE
his wants were only made known by means
of broken slate and pencil, and he was slow
ly applying wet sponge to his mouth, en-
deavoring to extract moisture, which might
quench the fever and intolerable thirst which
he was suffering. BY his side lay young
Thomas of Maryland, member of the same
company, who was mortaly wounded the
morning after, and who was now dying
Wounded men, struck that afternoon in
Worth's advance upon the Grand Plaza, were
constantly being brought in, the surgeons
were amputating and dressing the hurts of
the crippled soldiers by pale and sickly can
die light, and the groens of those in grievous

Parting SceEe between TWO Ir.
iSslHEeu.

irishmen, generally speaking, are moi
noted for any great forethought concer-
ming their temporal welfare, but any
thing relating to the spiritual, they ex-
hibit an unusual share of shrewdness, as
illustrated in the following case, which
occurred on the frontier of the State OF
Maine, between Jenny niece and Pat
McGlarkin
Pat being called to visit his dying
neighbor, Jenny niece, and hearing
his last words of farewell, before "shuf-
fling off his mortal coil" he doned his
best suit Of clothes, and smoothing his un-
usually cheering phiz into unusual grav-
ity, made his appearance at the bedside
of bis old friend. Upon meeting Jenny,
Pat exclaimed:
swell, Jenny, understand the doc
tors have given you up"
"Yis, Pat, it's most over wild me-
swell, Jenny" said Pat after pause,
"ye Invent been a great sinner; yen go to
the good place"
"Och, yis, Patio be shure l stole a
bit Of the government timber.
swell, farewell to'ye, " said pat, taking
Jemmy's hand, assuming diplomatic
arr, "when ye raich the good place, tell
them you're well acquainted wild Pat
McGlarkin.p
Here Pat started for the door, but, as
ifsuddenly thinking of Jemmy's dishones-
ty In stealing the government timber, he
wheeled around to his friend, and serious
ly and earnestly exclaimed:
But Jenny, if anything happens to
ye that ye shouldn't go to the other place,
Just tell them ye don't know divil a word
about me-"

Satin vests could do no more.

In mans ennobled name.

Living only to rejoice,
While the poor mans outraged freedom
Nainly lifteth up its voice.
