The RED BOYS REVENGE. par
snts are some times "sternly" rebuksd
by their own children. A case of this
king came under the observation Of a
Miner reporter tho other day. A little
Indian boy, whose mother had Just given
him walloping for something or other,
entered a blscksmith's shop on Bonanza
Flat, and. in the absence of the propris.
tor, crawled under the forge bellows to
have bis cry out. Pretty soon his
mother came along too, and as was most
natural for . sQuaw. squattsd herself
down ON the apparently Ilfrless forge to
take rest. The boy saw his oppor-
tunity to get even for the thrashiDg b.
had received few minutes before, and
crawlsd ont of his hiding place, began to
noiselessly work the bellows Pretty
soon he had the underneath GOALS in a
glow, and then giving the thing one
vigorous pump, a flame of fire foot high
shot up in the very spot where his ma
was seated. With Piute imprecation on
her lips, and big fire playing havoc with
her dry goods in the rear, the squsw
jumped from the forge and hurrisdiy
80 uatted in tub Of water standing near,
wuile the boy seooted out of the rear
door as if the devil was after him. She
ia saddess when she sits now, but won't
that youth get reception when he re-
turns to the tepee Of his injured mother.

Milly Christine, the double-headed
woman, although not a particular at
tractive person. has had five offers OF
marriage during her life, and all from
white persons. Count Rosebud, one OF
the mldgsts, is in love with the niahtin
gale on account of her winning ways
and accomplishments, and would marry
her tomorrow if she would consent. Ono
head is willing. but the other is not, and
the two heads have been disputing about
this matter for the last two years. 1t IL,
in fact, about the only subject on which
they are not fully agreed. A man who
would marry woman with two heads
and subject himself to tho raking fire
from such double barreled gun - that
whenever he came homo late at night,
might elicit admiration for his valor, but
not for his discretion.
