A Test of Indian Courage.

An Indian intertribal fair was held, not
long ago, in the Indian Territory, in order
to show some of the results of the civilizing
of the savages. A number of tribes attended
and displayed articles of home manufacture,
such as needlework, embroidery, lacework
and blankets. Many of the Indians had
their photographs taken, and showed q child
ish delight in looking at their faces. Others,
however, could not be persuaded to 90
near the camera. Yellow Bear, of the
Arapahoes, was the first to pass
through the ordeal Of sitting. He suf-
fered himself to be properly seated, and the
camera brought to bear upon him. But
when the prepared plate was placed in the
box and the cloth lifted, he leaped TO bis feet
with bound and attempted to leave the
tent. All attempts to reason with him failed.
At last photograph of Chyenne, taken
some years ago, was shown him. He looked
NJ it moment, then W mt quietly to his
chair and sat there Xix statute while his mega
tive was taken. He explained that no
Cheyenne warrior was greater brave than
he. The gigantic Osages, on the other
hand, would not approach the tent. They
said the camera robs them of their good
spirits. The Kickapoos gave the same
reason, and photographer. was perempto-
rily ordered out of their country on that ac-
count. The Indian is profound believer in
the power of spirits for good or evil. and
takes care never to offend them.

Top Ay's ue of the Comanche Chic,
will contain very lengthy interview with
Judge j. R. Fleming, who has just resigned
his Judgeship. The interview is confined to
State politics, and in the main the Judge will
endorse the administration and policy OF
Governor Roberts. He ascribes, however, to
the Sixteenth Legislature the most of the
credit he is pleased to ascribe to
the administration Of the Governor.
He, in the expression of his
views, presents the anomily of endorsing
the administration and at the same time takes
strong grounds in favor of free schools, going
Is far as anybody in that behalf-in fact
further than most people, as he wants extra
taxation to support them for nine months in
the year. He also favors liberal practical
encouragement Of immigration. We cannot
comprehend how even the most astute, thor.
oughly graduated politician can ride two
horses of such decidedly opposite gaits as
these at one and the same
time. If the Judge really sspir,s
to political preferment as Is pretty
generally believed to be the case, how can he
expect to be otherwise than split in
twain BY clinging to an Alcalde and anti.
Alcalde hobby. The sooner an aspiring man
who wants to figure. in the political field
learns that it is to his interest to beware of
stationery, the better 1t will be for him. The
Judge may have personal following in his
section that will carry him to the Legislature
where he may WELD influence enough to carve
out for himself congressional district ready
fer use in 1892, but we doubt If double polit-
ical equestrian feats will win in the State al
arge.

THE New York Herald was the recipient
on Thursday last of $4,000 for the Irish
fund from gentleman who desired that his
name should be kept secret, following the
scriptural injunction to give his aims in
secret. He imposed the condition that the
money should be placed at the disposal Of
Rev. Geo. Il. Hepworth, one of the Herald's
committee, to be use by him in aiding fami-
lies to emigrate to this country. That is a
practical sort of relief to be felt more in the
future than at once. rtS

Passing Opportunities.

Not day passes but you, reader, have
opportunities to do good, to do some kind
act, to relieve some one from want, to make
some one happy. The children of want and
the objects of pity meet you wherever you
go. Weeping eyes and aching hearts are all
around you. There goes mother through
the piercing winds, pressing to her bosom
her shivering babe. See how thinly she is
clad How thankful she would be for that
halfworn and cast-of garment of yours
There sits an old man on the steps, stretch
ing out his skinny hand for help. He can
scarcely move his cold, stiff lips to tell you
what he wants. There is little child beg
ging for bread. How do you know but its
mother is starving, while you have plenty
and to spare? Stop moment and listen to
its piteous plea. "The poor" says the
Saviour, "ye have with you always" Seek
them out; sit by their side; watch with
them; bring them flowers, carry them some
dainty dish speak words of comfort to
them sing of heaven; talk of Jesus. See
that poor inebriate as he stands looking
into that beautiful cottage yard which was
his year ago. Is he wanting it back
No; not so much as he wants his manhood.
He wants sympathy he feels as though his
last friend had forsaken him, as though no
one on earth cares whether he lives or dies
With your sympathy to encourage him /;
with your strength to lean upon and with
your counsel to guide him, he may yet be
saved. Go to his rescue take him by the
hand call him brother; tell him you can
trust him; feel an interest in his welfare,
and manifest that interest both by words
and action. Are you a Christian If SO,
improve every favorable opportunity to rec
ommend the religion of Jesus. How often
have you passed by that group of idle boys
without noticing them Stop and speak to
them. Invite them to the Sunday-school.
Take them by the hand and lead them.
Speak to them kind words that never die.
"Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of
the least of these my brethren ye have done

COnquerIng by Love.

Two missionaries landed on an island in
Fiji. They knew well the character of the
people, but the people did not know their
character. The savages came down naked,
clubbed and scowling, ready 10 destroy the
missionaries. One of the missionaries went
up to the chief, and bowing to him, said,
"My love to YOU" turning to the next, he
said, My love to YOU and so on to all.
Very soon the clubs were down, and friendly
intercourse began, and the missionaries re-
mained and preached in the island. A few
years after, as one of these missionaries was
leaving the island, a native followed the
boat land, holding out pretty little thing
he had made, said, "Wait, wait; | want
you TO take this home to your mother.
Great is my love to your mother. This is
not much, but made it with my own hands /;
carry it home TO your mother. Tell her
that before you came was canuibal, and
killed men and ate them; but now the loS
OF God is burning in my heart aud If your
mother had not loved me, and let you come
to tell me that Jesus died, should have
been cannibal to this day. Great is my
love to your mother Take this home to
your mother for me-" In this way God is
subduing to himself rebellious world. He
is saying by his Son, by his cross, by his
Spirit, through the church, "My love to
you = aud blessed be his name, the clubs Of
rebellion are going down, and men are be-
ing brought into sweet communion with
him. Your business, brethren, and mine, is
to tell men that God loves them, and point
them to the Redeemer's cross.-F. Binns, in
Christian Era.
