Fool Dogs Record.

A correspondent visiting the Sioux at
Standing Rock, Dakota, says: ''I visit
ed, In his tepee, Shunkawi-tko, or Fool
Dog, Yanktonnais whose credentials as
fast friend of the whites date back to
the Sully expeditions, on the first of
which he was a most useful scout and q
trusty adviser of the commanding officer.
Gen. Sully, under date of July 81, 1853,
writes of him that ne was one of the two
friendly Indians who went to the camp
of the Minnesota Sion, ransomed a
white woman and her children, captives,
and brought them safely to Fort Pierre.
Col. Stanley, commanding the twenty
second infantry, in April, 1869, wrote
out Fool Dogs record, in which it is
written that he saved the life of half
breed captive; that he went to the San
tee camp, ransomed little girl captured
by them and brought her safely to
military post; that when acting as guide
for Gen. Sully on the first expedition he
killed several hostiles and captured
others; that he was in several skirnishes
on the second expedition and on one
occasion killed two Indians, one of whom
proved to be his own brother, whom he
had killed, unknowing at whom his gun
was aimed; that on another occasion he
went into a tepee where three hostile
emissaries were endeavoring to incite
the friendly Sioux against the whites,
arrested two of the three, tied them,
took them to Fort Rice and there killed
them; that when Fort Rice was attacked
he rendered good service in its defense;
that he guided to Devils Lake the ex-
pedition which established q post there
and that finally he became faithful
mail carrier. Among his testimonials
saw one to which the names of Generals
Sanbom and Terry were attached. To
call an Indian of this country dog is to
apply to him the most insulting term of
contempt. To call him fool is only a
little less than an enormity. How this
Indian came to be known as Fool Dog l
could not learn, but was informed that
he was unpopular among his own people
and could muster only small following,
although he was long ago recognized as
a chief. But he enjoys the favor of all
whites who learn his story, and, besides
his annuity and other agency allowances,
under an order issued by Gen. Sully in
1868, he receives double soldiers rations
(for himself and squaw) from the army
quartermaster department, and has the
privilege of residing at or near a military
post. But when 1 visited him his
ratiOns for the month were about
expended, and the family were eating
boiled corn for their only dinner dish.'

lose that if you're not careful my boy :"
Then he kissed both children and
went into the pound again. And Nellie
threw her arms around Harry's neck and
gave him good hug, and told him she
should love him forever, and made him
promise to come and see her and Prince:
and they parted.
"And that's the end of our Fourth-of-
July party" said Harry, a short time
after, to the Jacklow family, as he fin
ished his breakfast and his story at the
same time.
"You're a good boy, and did Just
right, said all the Jacklow family, with
the exception of Mr.. Jacklow, who re-
marked mildly that "that dollar and
ninety-two cents would have kept him
in tobacco long while"
And baby Jennie came and gave her
big brother a sweet hss-in fact, very
sweet kiss, for some of the sirup which
she had been eating on her bread and
butter went with it; and as she toddled
away, Harry pulled out his handkerchief
10 wipe his llouth. It came out with a
terk, and four bright new silver half
dollars came with it, and falling on the
floor with a pleasant sound, rolled away
toward the corners as fast as they could.
But they were pounced upon before
they had rolled foot.
" The tall gentleman |" said Harry.
God bless him |" said his mother.
Three cheers for our side - shouted
Eddie, and proceeded to give them.

dollars a week.
Sixty cents of this went for car fare

was obliged to ride to and from it-and
the rest to his mother, who, with that
and the eight dollars q week she received
from the cloak factory where she worked.
supported herself, her children-Harry,
twelve years of age, Eddie, seven, and
Jennie, two-and Mr.. Jacklow.
Mr.. Jacklow was her husband. and
the less said about him the better. I'll
merely state that he could sit in a rock
lng-chair and smoke and think longer
than any man ever knew.
But besides this two dollars week.
Harry, who was bright-eyed, willing,
whlstllng young chap, sometimes got a
two or five cent piece, or, more rarely,
dime, fr m his employers customers
when, the grocers' wagons being over
loaded or the customers in great hurry,
he carried home their purchases for
them. And it was this money he had
been saving ever since the 1st of Janu-
airy, for the purpose of having a good
time on the next holiday.
On Christmas day they had real nice
time at his house. His "boss" had
given him two dollars, and the superin-
tendent of the place where his mother
worked had given her one, and some
body (they had never found out who)
had sent them large turkey, and the
dressmaker down stairs had put box of
tools IN Eddie's stocking-dear me |
what am saying she couldn't have
done that; meant to say SD had given
Ned box of tools, and JenI doll, in
the name of Santa Claus-,.hd Harry
had presented his mamma with a new
cohee-pot, and his mamma presented
him with a woOlen comforter and a pair
OF woolen gloves, and Mr.. Jacklow had
bought himself new pipe; and when
Harry saw how happy they all were, he
quickly made up his mind to give them
party on the very next holiday, which
would be the Fourth of July.
1t was the Sd of July when my story
commences, and Harry had kept his res
olutlon OF saving every penny outside of
his wages. He had had to pass many a
heap OF rosy apples without glancing at
'iiOul, tuH away from many peanut
stands, force himself not to look into
the tempting windows of the candy
stores, and go by on the other side when
he knew himself near a well-known
bakery, to do so; but he had done so,
and now his reward was near.
The house in which he lived was an
old-fashioned one in an uptown street.
A quarter of century ago it had been a
small farmhouse surrounded by mead
ows, but now it had large tenement
bouse on each side, and whole row of
brick buildings in front of it. But one
splendid old oak tree still stood before
the door" Bully to tack pin-wheels
on, said Harry to himself, and there

A Patchwork Sonnet.

The New York Graphic says At
recent after-dinner seance of ''literary
fellers" " of this city, it was proposed
that four of the company-well known
poets OF the younger generation-should
compose sonnet in collaboration. A
theme was chosen, the rhymes selected,
and each man wrote the portion allotted
to him apart from the others and in
entire ignorance of their work. The
first attempt was not complete success.
The subject given out was "a Wood
land Spring" Two of the young men
introduced each separate Dryad, and
a third, with utterly illogical improprie-
ty, put Lorelei into the spring. This
led to temporary lack of harmony in
the meeting and an irremediable lack Of
continuity in the sonnet, there being too
many young women to get along COM
fortably together in one woodland
spring. At the next trial, however, q
sonnet was produced, technically correct
in form and with perfect connection of
sense between the different divisions,
although each contributor was complete
ly in the dark as to what his colleagues
were doing. AS a metrical achievement
this " Patchwork Sonnet" is q real
curiosity of literature

A great invasion of kangaroos recently
occurred in various settled parts of Aus
tralia, especially Queensland, the ami
mails being, no doubt, driven from the
interior by the drought and its effect in
search of food. They came in thousands,
tdevouring everything in the shape of
herbs or grain, 80 that the sheep and
cattle were often reduced to dry leaves
for fodder. The colonists promptly
met the attack, in some cases driving
the kangaroos into an enclosure and
shooting them. In the battle more than
1000 kangaroos were killed in four
days.
