PRACTICAL JOKE OF AN ISDIaE.-Some of
the Saginaw Indians are intense wags in
their way. One of them having given
trader some annoyance was told that in case
ne was seen again with a bottle, il would
be taken from him and thrown in the FIRE.
A few days after, The Indian appeared with
pint flask in his blanket, as usual, but the
trader was as good as his word, and de.
nanded the bottle, which the Indian gave
up and started for the door. The trader
threw the flask into the stove, upon which
bang went the stove, and out came the
windows, the trader following close behind.

whether its contents are whiskey or gun
