SITTING BULL ON THE FOURTH
This is a great day for the pale faces, in
which they make much noise with their
mouths, and burn up what powder they
have left from killing Off the Indians.
1t is glorious day for white wind-bags
where they fire off long words in pow
vows. They make much talk of the wri-
ting made in the great wigwam many
moons ago, which says "all men are born
free and equal" That does not mean
the Indians. The Indians are not men.
The false faces are free and equal to
shoot and cheat the Indians. To-day
the white wind-bags talk of great chief
who never told lie. He never had any
children like him. Every pale face thinks
he must lie enough to make up for it. For
every truth he told one Indian agent told
a canoe full of lies. fl were an Indian
agent I should say love the Great Fa-
ther, who never told a lie. I should
say I love the pale faces. l should say
I love the pale face soldiers. I should
say I love to be driven from my reserva-
ton. should say love to see my peo-
pie killed and starved. I should say l
love the wind-bags and their long words.
I am an Indian and can not tell lie. l
love fre-water and scalps. Let the pale
face army be reduced to 10,000men. Let
the Indian agents be reduced to one man.

MARRYING THE Presidential tall,
strong, healthy-looking young woman,
with straw hat jammed over her eyes
and with long linen duster over her
dress, called at the White House, and
said she wanted to see the President.
She sent in her name as Emeline Noble.
The President admitted her, and when
she ssw him she said:
".When are you going to marry me?"
The President saw at once that he had
a crazy woman OH his hands, and replied:
"Why I have'a wife already"
"But," said Miss Noble, II understood
you were not living with her now.
wrote you three or four letters offering to
marry you, and as you did not answer,
silence gives consent, so here I am"
The President said he had to 60 down
to see Mrs. Hayes, and as he got out of
the way of the tall, strapping, young
womau he called two police officers, who
took charge of her. Upon taking her to
the station she was found to have $3.50
in her pocket. while her appearances
showed that she belonged to people of
comfortable means. She was sent to the
government insane hospital, where it was
found that her people resided at Fremont,
Ind. They telegraphed to have her sent
on to them and they would pay all ex-
penses.-Wa Washington dispatch to the CHI

For moment the president stared at
her through his gold-bowed spectacles,

I watched the face during the speaking.
The wide eyes, the parted lips, the whole

ence was forgotten, that her spirit was
moving with his.
And when the address was ended, with
the ardent abandon of one who catches
enthusiasm in the realization that he is
lighting. down a wrong judgment and
conquering sympathy, the effect was
really thrilling. That dignifed audience
broke into rapturous applause; bouquets
intended for the valedictorian rainedlike

The sin of crneltv m an;molo ;o :

The sin of cruelty to animals is ag-
gravated by two circumstances. First,
the obligation under which we lie 10 the
dumb creation, which are our servants.
We owe SO much to the horse, the
mule, the COW, the faithful watch dog,
and we ought to treat them kindly, nay,
gratefully. The want of these and other
animals, would be felt calamity. But
we want to remember that the sin is ag-
gravated by their silence. They are
dumb. Ifyou are ill-used, you can cry
for aid, and secure it. If you are hun
cry, you can cry for bread, and get it;
but the poor dumb beast cannot ask for
food, nor appeal for protection to the of.
fcer of law court. Hence the crime
of q man who ill-uses his beast is aygra-
waited by the most contemplate coward
ice. If the bully or blusterer in a fit of
passion, strikes his equal, he may receive
a blow in return, or he may be severely
chastised for his temper; or if an antago-
mist, through self-respect, only, sees fit to
administer a adignifed rebuke, he illgets
the worst of the encounter but the i'll
used beast cannot thus retaliate, there
fore the cruel monster who mercilessly
abuses the beast he drives or rides is the
meanest of all towards.

and the large audience, thrown into utter
confusion, enacted scene indescribable:
Everybody rushed for the staircase, and
in the stampede femininity was for once
disregarded. Some of the males actually
ran over the ladies, and excitement was
on such frightful verge that the collec-

horror of an accident. A few ladies
tainted away, and some of the sterner
sex jumped out of the windows, without
injuring themselves. Quiet was finally
restored and the entertainment went en-.

: A few months aeo q vonno !,

"A few months ago a young man,
now resident of this place, married.
Last week he received a package contain
ing a note and a cigar. The note ex-
planned that the cigar was wonderfully
fine one. The unusual character of the
gift, coupled with the fact that the young
husband did not recognize the name Of
the donor, aroused his suspicious, and he
showed his present to his wife. She re-
cognized the writing as that of former
suitor. She proceeded to investigate the
cigar, and found several grains of strych-
nine concealed in the end. The fellow
has not been regarded as quite in his.
