:t.a E:,taian Romance,

The trtc saying, 'Truth is stranger than
tic:ion,' is vividly illustrated; by u story
told Iy Gen. Brisbin ina forthcoming book
about Spotted Tail, the noted Sioux chief.
As a matter of a romance, we doubt if it
has been %xcelled. Briefly told, the story
is as follows:
Some time ago, the family Of this chief
were living at Fort Laramie, l;arr!s0neu
at that time BY companies Of all Ohio vol
;n;ccr regiment. One member Of the
family was the chiefs favor;tc daughter,
a girl just entering her womanhood. The
girl fell violently in love with enc Of the
Ohio officers, q fine looking fellow, who
did all he could to convince her that her
affection was foolish and hopeless.
Day after day she hung around his quar-
t:rs, waiting hours to catch sight of him,
and perfectly happy if only able to follow
him about. It puzzled her that she, q
princess, was not able to win the love Of
this young soldier
ters stood, and, coming for her, sent her
away among friends in the Rocky Noun
iains. There she pined away till finally
the chief was called to receive her dying
message. When he reached her side, she
urged him: for his own sake and for the
sake Of his people, to be al peace with the
whites. This message given, she died
Her father had her body conveyed to Lar:
annie and buried among the pale faces.
| Spotted Tail often speaks of his dead
daughter, and once, in a great council
with Tie whites, said: "Wcrc not tho
i hopclcssncss of resistance and the dictates
of policy sufficient to restrain me from
acts Of war, the promise I made my deat
child III her dying hour would cause -m<
to keep at peace with your children.

Attreciosls Cruelty

-
Hwould be difficult to imagine more
disgusting case OF cruelty 10 animals tlian
one which, came before tie Magistratcssat
the Newcastlc-undcr- Lyme Police Court
recently, when journeyman butcher
named James Health was charged with
cruelty ill-treating sheep by partly skim
ming it alive. It seems that on the 23th
ult. police officer, when passing
slaughter house where Health was en-
played, had his attention attracted to the
place by the stifled groans of some ami.
NAL. On looking inside dreadful spec
iacle met his eye. The defendcnt was op.
Grating upon sheep which had been "in-
cftcctually stuck lie had removed the
skin FROM one Of the fore legs, the should.
or, and the neck, and the foot joint was
cut through and broken off. The wretch
ed animal was seen TO raise itself and turn
its head toward its tormcntcr This mute
appeal for mercy failed to touch his heart
and for seven or eight minutes the sheep
struggled while the defendant still went

thinking that its agonics had been suf-
fjcicntly prolonged, stopped him. The
Magistrates said the case was very shock.
ing, and that such cruelty must be put
down by the "strong arm of the law"
They therefore fined Heath 40 shiliings
and costs, Or in default sentenced him to
one months imprisonment. This seems
to be all the punishment that the strong
arm Of the law" can inhict for an act of al
most incredible brutality. If Heath were
''partia1ly ffaycd alive" by the cat-o'.nine-
tails, welded by the ''strong arm" Of the
prison warder, his case would doubtless
excite morc sympathy than that Of the
sheep he tortured, but his sul1erings would
be slight compared with those oi his
blamelcss victim-Pall Mall Gazette.

i Story Cor t.lC Girls.

SIT down On the porch, children, and
let Elc tell you about Aunt Rachel and the
story she once told me. One day, when
l was about twelve year old, had plan
ned to go after Strawberries, but Aunt
Rachel said to me: "a girl Of your age
should begin to learn how to do house-
work. Take off your hat, roll up your
sleeves and help ne to do the baAirg.'
I pouted and sighed and shed tears, but
was encouraged by the promise that ]
might 60 after the baking. Under the
good Aunt Rachcl's directions mixed
a big loaf of bread, placed it Oh tin
as bright as q new dollar, and Was rub
bling the flour off my hands, when she
called out: "Yhis will never, never 10,
child; you haven't scrapcd your bread
bowl clcan."
Shall never forget the picture she
made standing there, her eyes regarding
me stcraly, one hand resting on her hip,
while in the other she held the untidy
bowl
"It Will never do, child" she went
on; lit is not only untidy, but it makes
too much waste. To be real good
housc-kecper you must learn to be eco
nomical. You have heard the story Of
the young man who wanted an economical
! wife,"
"No,' answered, and l might have
added that I did not wish to hear it, citll-
cr.
SWELL" she continued, che was very
likely young man and he wanted care
full wife, 80 he thought Of a way he could
find out. One morning he went to cali
upon the different girls of his acQuaint.
ance and asked them each for the scrap
ings Of their bread bowls to feed his Eors-
cs. You see, they all wanted him, so they
got all they could for him. Finally he
found q girl who hadn't any, SO he asked
her to be his wife, because he thought she
must be economical. Now,' said Aunt
Rachel, triumphan:ly, "suppose that a
young man should ask you for the scrap
ings of your bread bowl, what could you
say:''
"What could say ?" I repeated, scorn-
fully, "why, I'd tell him If he could not

A Colorado Heroine.

Thursday night an attempt was made
by couple Of burglars to enter house
on Broadway in Evans addition. The
only male person on the premises was an
invalid boartier in an uI per room, and the
lady Of the house, who was awakened
when the window was raised near at hand,
had no opportunity to call for aid without
alarming the burglars. The brave woul-
an did not hesitate a moment, but seized q
butcher-knifc and slipped quietly to the
window. AS the robber entered, she slash
ed him furiously with the knife. The
weapon entered his neck or shoulder,
striking a bone, which impedcd its course
and turned the point Of the blade back
ward. In moment the robber graspcd
his assai!ant and flung her from him, call
ing at the same time to his companion
outside, who came quickly to his assis-
tance, and bore him groaning away. BY
this time the invalid up stairs had been
aroused, and fastened TO the rescue armed
with a shot gun. Unfortunately he was
moment too late, for the robbers had
disappeared, and the sick man was inca
pable Of following them. Examination
revealed abundant traces of blood, the
knife being stained for two inches from
the point and tue window frame streaked
with burglarious gore. The lady deserves
a testimonial for her bravery, and it is to
be regretted that her aim was not more
fortunate, so that she might have the hon.
or of eclipsing the police and everybody
else in the permanent capture of 4 real
burglar. Meanwhile it might be we'll to
look out for man who has been badly
bu,chcr.knifed quite reccnt'y.-Rocky

koo. "hut for that poor sick hen there,
you see behind the bushes. See that poor
crcat,lrc,' hc continued weeping, "shc
fills my soul with pity; she has not been
we'll for 3 long time
"Ryai|v, and odd kind Of ncShborly
love. I could never in the least have cx-
pccted that Of you,' the raven cried in an
ccstaey; aild the tears floatcd down his
raven checks, at the thought Of this noble
deed
'Ycs," the cuckoo continued in a whir-
ing tone, "tI.is good hen laid nc early
every day, al egg upon that I have hith-
erto lived when I could get at nothing else,
and how miserable I should be if she
! should die: l must perish Yes, must
starvc in these famine timcs.''

poor sick hen, but for Tie eggs you make
! the nest,'' croakcd the raven, as quickly
drying her tears she few away.
