"No, my son. Your father is not

Oh, with what delicious sweetness

AN INDIAN LOVER.

Miss Bishop, the writer of "Floral
Home," who went TO Minnesota as a
teacher, received IN offer of marriage
from an Indian. Te came to her dwelling
decked in all his flery-scarlet flannel,
rings, feathers, newly secured brass
ornaments and bears claws-and through
an interperlre announced to her that she
must be his wife. 1t was urged that he
had one wife. "Hs replied" All the
band have as many as they can keep, and
l have but one" As an extra induce

Bishop, little in fear of the "green-eyed

tinciion.
The Indian then begged dollar 10

Next day he was drunk. But Miss
