NOTES AND QUERIES.

those who can hear, SO do modest people feel
a sense of wonderment which is akin to ad-
1nration for those who ask, without any
backwardness or hesitation for what they
want, regardless of the small question, if
what they want is what's their due. There
are times when this patient and submissive
Notary wishes from the bottom of his heart,
that there never was and never could be any
such thing or custom or necessity for what
goes under the fraudulent title of The Credit
System 1t is one thing to sit under the
shadow of books and old Mss, and collect
such odds andend of whims, facts and fancies
as these Ms and Qs; and it is quite another
thing to collect the dribs and does of money
due somewhat threadbare and mouldy news
paper concern like certain (morning) paper
it is needless is specify. 1t is true modesty
which makes the business of collecting bur-
den and a mournful duty. 1t is the shyness
of asking for ones own that cannot be over
come. The only consoling boon is the oppor-
tunity, as in some cases offered, of being con-
fronted with a bill per contra (and a
trihe over.) That is to say, the pang Of
dunning is more than compensated for by
the countervail of being dunned! We are
convinced that what is vulgarly called ''cheek"
in a gift-like being ''double- iointed" or
having six fingers on one hand. There are,
apparently, Qfor we are without experience)
two distinct sorts of ''cheek." One is of the
cultivated variety and of the brass, brassy.
The other is native, simple, unpretending,
guileless-such as was displayed the other day
at Washington by the noble red man. Let
the reader be reminded of what was done at
this conference of the red and white braves:
big Rood in his speech expressed desire to
come to Washington once year at the ex-
pense of the government. He wanted 1000
head of cattle and 1000 head of sheep; he |
also wanted a box of money-not paper
money, but silver, the ''dollar of his daddy"
Another expressed desire for a school in |
which he could learn to read and write and |
telegraph. He was particular in his wish to |
become telegraph operator. Little Wound |
wanted white sugar and better coffee; he
wanted also two six-horse wagons, four
horse wagon, and house like that the Pres
ident lived in. He desired religion as well,
and Catholic priests instead of Episcopalians,
who are at the agency" Big Rood and
Little Wound are after this Querist's own
heart In his modest and retiring way he
fells privileged to admire the simple son of the
wilderness who steps up with child-ike as
surance and asks for bands of cattle, boxes of
money, well appointed wagon and team, a
White House and White Sugar What is the
use of being mealy mouthed when one is
going to ask for what he wants? 1t is all
very well to say that if thing is worth hav-
ing is worth asking for; but the next time,
oh young men afraid of ur-sweetheart, that
you want to kiss your charmer, don't ask to
be permitted to do it, but go right up, like
man of nerve and courage and self-assertion
and take it, VI ct arnais, if necessary. She
may futter and protest and threaten as she t
may, she cannot rob you of it nor wipe it off! I
Like the boy Punch tells of, all she can do is a
to rub it in (But let not this blushing
Notary be misunderstood Let no man with
conscience burdened with load of debt to the Il
