Mark Twain and the Piutes.


The Eureka Republican, tells about
vada, some years ago. His agent used
to get up an excitement about the leo
ture by building bonfire before the
hall and sending fife and drum through
the streets half hour before the be-
ginning of the entertainment. He did
this in Dayton, then a aflourishing camp,
and the Piutes naturally got the impres-
sion that some kind of an exciting show
was to be given, so the chief tackled the
enterprising agent on the subject OF haif-
price admissions, and some 80 buckg
paid their half dollars and filed into the:
hall. Presently Mark made his appear
ance on the stage and began drawing
away in his usual style. The white poo-
pie laughed .boisterously, but the Indians
looked puzzled, and after standing it for
10 minutes thev began whispering and
grunting among Themselves, and finally
the chief got up and went out 20 the
box-of1ice and inquired when the
tumbling was going TO commences, and
that 20 heap big fool" was going to quit
talking Upon learning that the per-

other Indians, they rose in body, lett
the hall and swarmed to the box-office
and demanded their money back The
agent couldn't think of snch a thing, and
the Piutes went out on the street and
gave vent to their feelings in war-
whoops. 1t looked for few minutes -
if the disguised warriors would START in
to wreck the hall and murder the lec-
turer. A crowd of whites, attraeted by
the loud, angry yells of the red men,
gathered, however, and Mark Twain
was saved to an admiring world.

Democratic party to defeat the election
of Frank H. Hurd to Congress, and to
accomplish that object will contribute
our best efforts to induce the Demo-
Gratis Of the several counties compris-

portion OF Christian eOllegians during
the past twenty-five years has been
marked. This may be, but the be-
hsvior OF students has certainly de.
Perforated in that time. In the last
ten years particularly, they have
acted abOminably, and many OF them
have rendered themselves extremely
