Spotted Tail MOurns the Death

1t will be remembered that during SPOT

rained hot, passionate kisses upon the
dusky marble of her dear, dead face. At
the time the gentleman from whom we de-
rive our Information left MILESTONE, Spot
ted Tail was giving expressions to his
grief in manner peculiar to his people.
All the presents and trinkets of every sort
which he had received while on his east

responsible for the death of his wife
Many of these presents were of great value,

or two !; this is followed by the throwing
himself upon the ground, where he will
roll and tumble about in a perfect parox-
ySm of rage until he becomes completely
exhausted, when he falls asleep, only to
repeat the routine of his mourning upon
awaking. Since his return home he has
not washed himself once, and as the dirt
in which rolls readily adheres to the
grease with which his body is smeared,
it can readily be immagined what a filthy
condition he is in.
Thus mourns the untutored savage for
the loved and lost ; and rude, uncouth,
and even ridiculous as are his expressions
of grief, they are none the less sincere
and heartfelt, and therefore entitled to
our respect, if not our approval.

WONDERFUL BEAR SToRY.-The Lake
City (N1inn.) Leader tells the following
remarkable story;
Zone day last week a little son Of Mrs
Thos. Harney, some eight or nine years
old, while out rambling in the fields and
up and down The bluffs, some four or five
miles out of town on the Hazlett Cooley
road, discovered an old bear with several
cubs following her, and had series of
adventures with her, which are, to say
the least, astonishing almost beyond de
gree. When he first discovered the old
bear, she came up to a spring as anybody
else might do, TO get "a drink of wafer
When she went away he noticed she had
some very small cubs with her, and fol-
lowing her he managed to capture two
that struggled behind, being unable to
keep up with the rest of the family. He
ran back with these some eighty rods be-
fore her bearship missed her children,
when the old lady came tearing back after
them, ,affetionately putting her arms around
the youngster, thereby gently prevailing
upon him to release the two kidnapped
members of her family, which she imme-
diately coaxed away. Nothing daunted,
however. the young hero pursued closely
after them, and when the little family
stopped to take dinner, the boy bravely
went up and patronizingly patted her lady
ships back without her deigning the slight
est recognition in return. Subsequently
he captured another of the cubs and ha,
taken it nearly half mile and into al
open field, when he saw the old bear afte
him again. A wagon was standing near a
hand, and the youngster made tracks fo
that, tossed the cub into it, and was abou
to got in himself, when Mrs. Bruin cam
up, raising her arm and with one aft; ction
ate slap took off his pantaloons as clea
as if he had been sitting on nitrO-glycerine
The boy, however, went into the wago
and the cub out of it, when his mothe
again very kindly took him back 10 hi
little brothers and sisters. The truthful
ness of the above may be relied upon an
we think, take it all and all, is about 3
strange a specimen of the freaks of a vii
animals disposition, under trying circun
stances, as We ever remember 10 haN

THE PAPERLESS MAN.

SO spoke Titus Closely, in answer to
man who had called to see if he would
like to subscribe for newspaper. Said
man kept store in the neighboring viii
lage, and was also the postmaster: and he
had made arrangements to add to his busi-
ness by establishing a newspaper agency.

'Your neighbor, Deepwater, has sub

He will take pleasant, high-toned lit

MANY an amusing incident occurred
during the recent encampment of the To-
ledo knights Templar at Putin Bay, one
of which is related as follows: On the
occasion of the visit of the Sir knights
to Sandusky, on the steamer Evening
Star, on their return the waters of Lake
Erie were a little rough, and several oi
the assengers-excursionis from For

One of tho Knights went up to sea~sick
passenger who was leaning over the an

which it is impossible to describe, asked

A Cape May Incident.
AN AMBITIOUS MAMMA AFTER AN tMAGtN-
AIRY LORD.


Not many days ago their was a rather
cloud woman down here, says the Cape
May Wave, rich and vulgar, sNYoopins,
around with her daughter and putting on
more airs than you could grind out of Il
hand organ. One man, who was DISCUS
ted at the aristOcratic pretensions of the
couple, thought he would have a little fun
at their expense. So ono day he pointed
out good looking fellow who was pass
ing the hotel and mentioned to the woman,
in u sort of careless off hand way, that th8
good looking fellow was lord, who had
just arrived in the country, and was stop-
ping for while at Cape Nav. This wo-
man, you understand, wanted an intro-
duction, 50 that she could set her daughter
to work TO rope in this scion of noble
house The stranger was presented the
next evening in the parlor and this de-
signing being of a mamma began TO gUsh
right over him.
She kept on exclaiming how much she
had always admired the English nobility,
and how much she loDged to see them IN
their own beautiful homes and then she
asked this man if he did not sometimes
long for his island home, and bate the So
ciety of the vulgar Americans, and sigh
for his high-born companions At last
the man turned around and said she must
have made mistake he didn't care a
red cent for aristocracy; aud he had no
island home, for he came from Germany /;
and be had no high>born companions, an-
less some of his friends were born in a
garret. So this woman rose right up and
pranced out to the fellow who introduced
her to The aTistocrat, and she said:
''See here | thought you said that
man was lord !"
