A COnnOisseur.

He was rather well l-dressed man, with
long mustache, and Ire wore Eyeglasses.
AS he approached the cigar case the pro-

see what was wanted.

The man then lighted the cigar, tipped
back in chair, and putfed like a Turk.
He seemed as though dwelling in a realm
of sunshine and flowers. After awhile
the dealer smiled very pleasantly, and
said:

The cigar man was enwreathed in a
frown which seemed to have in its tenn

GIRARD THE TRAPPER.
Something About the Adventures Of The
Man Who Testified Against Gen.
Rann.

The st. Paul Pioneer-Press tells the
following about Reno's bitter enemy.
His name is Girard. In 1S47 he was a
printer in the st Louis Republican Of
fee, when accident threw him into the
great northwest, where his thrilling ca
reer has been for years, and is still, a
by-word. Pierre was the heart of the
land of the Dakotas, and hither Girard
went under orders from the American
fur company.
His first day at Pierre gave him his
Indian name. He was chased by n
wounded buffalo bull but, he outran
the animal, and while he sat in the top
Of a tree with the bull shaking its head
at him from below, the Indians in the
distance began to cry out ''Swift Buffa-
10" 'Swift Buffalo, The name still
belongs to him. Pretty o Girard
made his fortune m the fur trade. He
could draw his check for $500, 900 any
day. No wonder. The plains were
overrun with wolves and the Dakotas
were in dispair. Girard shot a buffalo
one day and emptied a bag Of strych'
nine into the carcass. Two thousand
dead wolves were afterwards counted
within a small space on the plain.
Girard kept a diary Of his many adj
ventures among the Indians. and there
are many references to Sitting Bull,
who was u bitter foe. Once Girard and
a party were captured by Sitting Bulls
band, west Of Bismarck. 1t was deter
mined to put them to death. Running

- "a
At Tuesdays meeting of the cabinet,
according to the LEADERS Geographic
dispatches, the question of Sitting
Bulls return to the United States was
seriously discussed. Furthermore, it
was decided what should be the rela-
tions Of the government with this chief
tan's tribe, in the event of his proposed
surrender being carried out. What
that decision was, we are left to sur
mise, but what it should be we well
know. Sitting Bulls offer of uncondi-
tional surrender, if such offer is bona
.fde, should be accepted. Then strip
the tribe Of all guns and firearms
whatsoever, and all ponies but the nee
essary number to carry on agriculture,
giving them an equivalent in clothing,
cooking utensils and other articles of
use. e T1N - a41is s rfI
In the first place Indians have no
need Of guns for the government feeds
them. But their possession furnishes
at all times a ready argument for break
ing away from m agency and maraud-
ing and numbering. The same thing
may be said of the ponies. So long as
the savage possesses his ponies he has
the e of carrying himself and his
family away. Consequently he is more
independent and liable to break out.
But without ponies he is humbled, be-
cause lie must remain on the reserva-
tion where he should be at all times.
Therefore, he really needs neither guns
nor ponies. If an Indian is evil dispos-
ed, a gun is a dangerous thing in his
hands; II he be truly friendly, the lack
Of a gun is no hardship for him. But,
with q blindness which invites hard
ships, such as have already incurred the

ammunition and trusts to luck and an
Indians conscience that no harm will
come Of 1t. A
Sitting Bull should be given a reser-
walton, and a large one, too. After
parceling it out for farming purposes,
the necessary implements and seeds

en- to understand that it is "root, hog,
or die" The Indians natural alterna-
tive would be flight. This, however,
would scarce be attempted because of
the absence of guns and the scarcity of
ponies; SO 1t is extremely probable that
the hog would root. Then make him
root; It is the most feasible plan of civil
lizing the savage.

Rock agency, was with sitting Bull.
Antelope is the pride of Standing Rock.
He was alwaysa friend of the white
man, with an eloquent tongue and a
brave heart. Girard says there is no
buncombe about it. Antelope is an elo-
quent speaker, with n flow of f~igurative
language that is captivating. The in
terpreter is never able to translate it
literally, and its beauty is Invariably
destroyed. Antelope wanted to save
Girard' : life. Protest was useless.
There was one desperate way open. In

1t was ut Berthold that Girard was
deserted by all his trappers and half
breeds. The Indians had concluded to
storm his fort. He and his compan-
ions had a number of skirmishes with
them, with the advantage with the In
dams. 1t got so hot that the '.compan-
ions'' deserted. Girard resolved to
make the most of his plight. The Indi-
ans were not aware of the departure OF
the traders force. To keep up the
deception Girard posted several dunn
mics on the block-house as sentinels
during tht night.

dummy there were two arrows in it.

ais. One fellow crawled up under the
protection of the fort before he was dis
covered. Through a hole Girard shot
down the spy. He new spied any
more. Knowing that q prolonged siege
or a general assault would result in
Berthold's capitulation, Girard prepar-
ed for the worst. lie carried into the
middle of the'storeroom all the valua-
BILE goods and piled them around two
kegs of powder. His personal capture
would be his death by u thousand tor
lures. The plan was to wait until the
fort was full of Indians and then blow
the whole outfit up. For 10 days the
brave Girard was alone and the Indians
were deceived, They finally gave up
the seige and left. If Girard had been
an army officer he would have immor-
talized himself by the defense and
fight.
