Lemonade for One.

A Shawano saloon, says the Milwaukee
Sun, has opened a lemonade stand in
connection with its bar. This is a good
indication, and shows that. the time Is
not far distant when man can go to
saloon with a party who drinks strong
drinks, and call for glass of lemonade
without being looked through by the
bar tender, as though he thought you
had Just escaped. Men have died Of
chagrin at being looked at so by bar
tenders. For instance, man does not
want any benzine in his, but he is in
vited by half dozen men to smile. He
goes in and they range themselves in
front of the bar, and look careless. The
bartender, in a white apron and dyed
moustache spins tumbler on the eoun-
ter, and asks the first man what he viii
have. The man is telling a story to
another and don't hear, and the BAR
tender goes down the line, and all act as
though drink was the last thing in the
world they ever thought of, and they all
turn instinctively to the last man, to see
what he will have, and the bartender
says, whats yours, Capri The guest
of the party says lemonade" Then
you want to study the party. The bar
tender looks cross, turns and snatches
up big'tumbler, jams piece Of lemon
and a spoonful of taFtaTie acid IN, takes
rolling pin and begins to exercise
himself, ali the time looking oqt Of the
corner of his eye at the lemonade man
as though he would bite. The man op
the other end, with the red nose, stops
telling his story, and looks at the poor
lemOnade man. and saws. "Well, ] sWar.p
The others all turn and look at him,
feel of his pulse, and ask him if he
sweats ice water, and then the 6rst man
says, "giye me some whiskey," and the
rest say that will do for them, and the
bartender chucks out the lemonade IS
though it gave him chills, and the lem.

"A piece of lemon bound upon a
corn will relieve it in a day or so. 1t
should be renewed night and morning.
The free use of lemon juice and sugar
will always relieve q cough. A lemon
eaten before breakfast every day, for
week or two, will entirely prevent that
feeling of lassitude peculiar to the ap-
proacn of spring. Perhaps its most valu-
able property is its absolute power Of
detecting any Of the Injurious and even
dangerous ingredients entering into the
Composition of so very many of the cos

Every lady should subject her toilet

INDIAN TROPHIES.

Mr.. Arthur w. Crossley, Chief of the
i'roof Division of the Patent Office, yester-
day morning received from Captain j. w.
Kedlngton, a scout, now serving with
General Howard's command in the Indian
campaign in the Jordan Valley, scalp
freshly taken from Snake Indian by a
Umatilla. There is history connected
with it, which is stated as fol ows: The
trophy was captured by the Umatilla in
the recent fight near the DAILY road, in the
Blue Mountains, after gallant and des-
perate hand-to-hand struggle between the
two, they having, during the fight, singled
each other as antagonists. Both are de-
scrlbed as men OF noted prowess, who
had for some time entertained for each
other an animosity, growing out of jeal-
ousy. The combat as has not unfrequent-
ly occurred, according to the legends of
Indian warfare, caused a partial suspen-
sion of the general fight by the contend
ing braves, who crowded closely upon
the selected spot to witness its progress.
This romantic episode in the battle was
of but brief duration. The novel dut
was short and fierce, and the Snake fell
TO the ground, face to his foe, bravely
dying, with a CHASTITY, double handed cut,
inflicted with two-edged hunting knife,
which completely opened his trunk from
coll3r-bone to abdomen. At the crisis of
the conflict the Snake was getting the
best of the Umatllla, when the latter,
burning with the inspiration of his par
tisau's yells and the disgrace of defeat,
rallied with fierce determination, and, BY
a powerful stroke, ended the struggle and
at the same time his antagonists life, not,
however, without receiving a bloody
face-cut, which he will carry to his grave.
Thus fortune, capricious as tickle wo-
man, favored the desperate chance, and
the Umatilia is now the one above all
others whom his tribe delighls to honor.
With this Termination began afresh and
with renewed vigor the fight between
the "frieIdlies" and "hostiles." n n
Mr.. Crossley has also received from the
same source an interesting collection of
Indian accoutrements, which were prin-
pally taken by the adventurous scout
from the dead bodies of Indians during
the Nez Perce war last summer, and
which have attracted some attention
from visitors and others in the Patent
Office Washington Republican.
