A GOLDEN SENTrMENT-Thef following
exquisite morceau is from Longfellow'e
new poem, "The Golden Legend"
..Thers are two angels that attend unseen
Each one of us, ard in great books record
Our good and evil deeds. He who writes down
The good ones, after every action closes
flis volume, and ascsnds with it to God;
The other keeps his dreadful day-book open
Till sunset, that We may repent; which doing
The record Of the action fades away,
And leaves line Of white across the page"

HOW TO GET OUT OF A TIGHT PLACE
i The following story is we'll known Z
many Of the early settlers Of this territory
having been related to them by the Ind
ans, who were cye-witnesses 10 the trans
action, and who expected no doubt to have
time, but, as the sequel will show, were
disappointed. The principal actor is now
living among Us, and had the story from
himself, some years since.
In the year 1919, he was trading with
the Indians at place called De Noquet,
on the west side Of Green Bay. While sit
ting alone in bis cabin one day, he was
surprised at the entrance of twelve or fif-
teen strapping Indians, with their faces
blacksued-which is never done except
some momentous business is on hand, and
always in case Of funeral. With slow
and solemn tread they entered the room
which contained the goods used in Indian
trade, and after seating themselves around
tla, on the floor, and lighting their pipes
in silence, the spokesman for the company
commenced his harangue in the following
words:
ave have come to make dema nd -
here followed silence Of several seconds
and we don't expect to be refused--anoth-
er silence. These young men around me
are brave men and great warriors. | am

ed many Of your countrymen. led on
the warriors who attacked Fort Stevenson,
the scalps Of many brave men have been
smoked in my lodge. We have come to
demand keg of Good high wines,
and worth $40 per keg--and we don't ex-
pect to be refused"
At the conclusion Of this speech, which
was delivered with all the dignity and nu
thority Of those who are accustomed to die
tate terms TO weaker party-the gentle
man to whom it was addressed, stepped
around some packs of fur which served as
a counter, and brought forth a keg about
the same size as the one SO much desired,
when smile of evident satisfaction light
ed up the faces Of the audience. He then
took a candle, and lighting it, replied TO the
speech in the same boasting and bombas-
tic style, and concluded by saying, that il
tucy NCIc as UIdsc ujcu uuu uS glCot wal
riors as they pretended 10 be, to sit where
thoy were, and smoke with him until tha,
candle burnt out; at the same time remov
ing the cover of the keg, he placed the can
die deep in the loose porder, Of which the
keg contained twenty pounds--and
seated himself for smoke with his visit
ers, which he had hardly time to do before
the room was empty; and after taking ou,
the candle, he finished his smoke alone,
and WAS never after troubled with Indian
demands. Mil,caukie Sentinel.
