A REMEDY FOR DRUNKENNESS

A firm of wine merchants in London
has been trying a novel experiment dur
ing the past year, with view of helping
the men in the employ of the company
to keep sober. The theory on which the
experiment is based is that drunkenness
comes mainly from the habit of resorting
to public houses, and that this habit is
contracted almost as matter of necessi-
ty by workingmen having nowhere else
to 90 during the dinner hour. So the
firm provided dining and reading room
and boiler for cooking potatoes; and
there the men and boys now take their
dinners. As one result of the corporate
feeling promoted by intercourse with
one another during the noon hour, they
have formed among themselves library
fund, out of which newspapers and mag
azines are provided for the reading room
and deposit and loan bank, to which
all the working men are now sucscribers.
Under this arrangement, as stated by the

Telegraph states that st. Kinda belongs

SAVED BTA BOTTLE.

About five weeks ago there was washed
ashore on the coast of one of the Orkney
islands a bottle containing an appeal
from some starving castaways who had
been wrecked on st. Kilda, the most in
accessible of the Hebridean Islets. Mr..
Sands, Scottish artist, had landed on
that lonely..rock in small boat, and on
January IL an Austrian vessel was
wrecked off the cliffs and nine survivors
were washed ashore. The islanders had
scarcely enough provisions for them
selves, but they generously shared what
they had with the ten castaways. Star
walton stared them all in the face. Mr..

R.IICHENOUR'S PERIL.

IN Extraordinary Encounter Ni"gfe-
Handed ,rifh Forty Indians.
The particulars of desperate fight
between a doctor name TichenOur and a
band of Sioux Indians, numbering about
forty, at what is known as the leone"
at the mouth of Sand creek, siXty-five
miles west of Ness POstofice, Ness coun-
ty, in the western portion of the state,
were received at Fort LeavenwOrth' last
week. The doctor and companion
named DicdensO were out poisoning
wolves, and had built temporary dug
out" in which to store their skins and
provisions. A few days previous to the
appearance of the redskins Dickinson
had taken the wagon and gone to the
settlement after provisions. The doctor
was asleep in the hut on the third morn
ing after Dickinson departure March ~
when he was awakened by slight noise
at the door. Think the intruder might
he some animal, he took bis gun and
went to the door. Upon opening it he
was confronted by burFy Sioux brave,
but it still being dark he could only dis
tinguish the outlines of the form. He
demanded his business, when the brave
turned and fed and as the doctor step
ped outside to get shot at him he was
greeted with a shower of bullets that
drove him back in to the hut. Bsrrica-
ding the door with the bees means at his
command he patiently awaited the day
light. In the meantime the Indians,
about forty IN number, rs near as he
could tell, had moved further up the
creek, but just at daylight, one of them
who seemed to be in authority, and lead.
er of the band, from the manner in which
he was dressed, came to the door of the
dug out, carrying white flag Of truce,
and, in broken English demanded his
surrender. Tichenour replied that there
were three men in the hut, ail we'll armed,
who would defend themselves to the last.
The chief then began TO threaten, de-
claring that he would take bis scalp and
all of those with him, and the doctor,
taking this to be declaration OF war,
shot the red man dead in his tracks as he
stood. The entire band then rushed to-
ward the hut, but were driven back by a
few well-directed shots, retiring in disOr'
der. The next maneuvre of the Indians
was an attempt ts smoke him out by
burning buffalo chips and the wood work
of the dug-out, and from his position the
doctor could see some of the arrange
ments made for his destruction. HI
could not see the Indian in charge, but
he knew that the work was going on
and that in short time he must yield
Realizing this, he made dash for thu
outside, kicking the burning buffalo
chips right and left, an exchanging shot
with the head Indian in charge of tn
fire, killing him instantly. and receiving
a bullet himself through the lower par
of his body. Then began the long-rang
shooting match, during which he saw
, three of his assailauts fall. This wa
kept up during the day. AT nightfall
