An INDIANS Practical JoKB.-Some
of the Saginaw Indians are intense wags
in their way. One OF them, having given
a trader some annoyance, was told that
in case he was seen again with bottle,
it would be taken from him and thrown
into the fire. A few days after, the It.
dian appeared with pint flask in his
blanket as usual but the trader was as
good as his word, and demanded 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
window, and the trader followed close
behind. The next time that man burns
an Indians whiskey bottle, he will ex.
anime it TO see whether its contents are
LII Vhiskey or gunpowder.
