Cheyenne transporter. [volume] (Darlington, Indian Terr.) 1879-1886, 1881-08-25

The following from the Springfield Times
tells how some Of the Indians in Dakota are
progressing:
On Friday of last week the writer, with
others, had the pleasure OF visiting st Mary's
Girls school. Knowing tho high reputation
OF this school, tho visitors were prepared for
some degree of excellence on the part of the
scholars, but not for the very creditabhe on
dition in which the school was fonnd. The
department of the pupils would put to shame
that of many white children brought up with
all tho rofinernents of civilized life, and the
interest shown in their studies and eagcrness
in replying to questions of the teachers were
indeed gratifying. ST. Mays school is an
honor TO those who have it in charge, and
while witnessing what may be accomplished
by careful training and instruction, surely
we may say, "ln education, and in education
alone, may be found II solution of the Indian
problem"

Indian Sagacity IN Business,

When the Carson and Colorado railroad
treated for the right Of way through the In.
dian reservation ut Walker Lake, Nevada, the
Indians agreed TO receive IN fnll pay, 800
and the free shipment forever over the road
of any fish or other produce which they might
wish to bring to market between Hawthorne
and the mound house. Walker lake IL
swarming with fine trout. When the new
read reaches il the Indians will be the bosses
of the fish market of the State. They say that
If Mr.. Ycrington bad known how many fish
they can catch in n day he would never have
entered into such a contract. The Indians
laid their wires for this thing long ago, and
when Mr.. %Yerington visited Walker Lake
they put up n job on him. They invited him
to spend n day fishing, which he did, but gave
him Il bait which fish absolutely avoid. Sew
cral OF the bucks also fished with him, some
using no bait at all. Th result of the days
toll was Il small white-fish and Il couple of
half-pound trout. The savages pretended that
the days sport had been very fine and got up
Il big dance in honorof the catch, rcmarking
that the fishing had not been so good for
years. In an unguardcd moment he sighed
the fish contract. Appeal.

" Don't Cross a Bridge Until You
Como to It.N

There was once q man and woman
who planned to spend day at O. friends
house, which WAS some miles distant
from their own. So, one pleasant morn-
ing, they started out to make the visit ::
bnt they had not gone far before the
woman remembered a bridge they had
to cross which was very old and unsafe,
and shebcgan to worry about it. "What
snail we do about the bridge ?" she said
to her husband. CT shall never dare to
go Owe: it. and we can't cross the river
any other way" "Oh," said the man.
1 forgot that bridge; it's bad place.
Suppose it should break through. We
should be drowned" cor suppose you
should step on rotten plank and break
your leg, what would become of me and
the baby ?" "I don't know" said the
man, what would become of any of
us, for couldn't work, and we should
aSnrYc to DEATH" So they went on wor-
rying till they got to tho bridge, when
10 and beholdl since they had been there
last new bridge had been built, and
they crossed over in safety, and found
they might as well have saved them
selves oil their anxiety.

The Man with the Umbrella.

Why it is that the public do not look
kindly upon man carrying an umbrella
in u hot day is a mystery to be solved,
but the fact is they do not, and that not
one man in hundred has the moral
courage to carry one. Yesterday, when
nm eminent and dlgnifed citizen, coming
back from his dinner, turned into Girls
void street with an umbrella over his
head he was accosted with:
Been raining down your way ?"
"No, sir !"
"Gomg tor"
mo, sir !"
"Then you carry the umbrella to keep
the flies OFF,"
Yes, sir"
"Well, that's q good plan, and all
soft men ought to practice il.
Tho next man had grin on his face
as he called out:
"What's that for ?"
"To keep the sun off.
off forP"
might get sunstruck."
Suppose you did ?"
"Suppose you mind your own busi-
ness, Sir.'
Ihe next one presumed upon his long
friendship to halt the man with the UNI
brella and whisper:
"Pretty sharp in you, old fellow :;
keep the edges toward your creditors
and they can't SEQ YOU"
Other men told him that wearing u
poultico Oil the head Would dispense
with tho umbrella, and others said if he
was afraid Of his ears being tanned he
should fasten fan on each side of his
hat. Not one single man took him by
the hand and encouraged him, and
when he reached the postot1ice he was
SO discouraged that he lowered his shade,
and usei it to punch tho ribs of q boy
who had begun to sing:

What Some Women Gould DO.

There are women to-day in San Fran
cisco, says the Chronicle of that city,
subsisting on scanty crusts in blind al
leys who could step into the empty man
slons OF our new millionaires and arrange
the appointments of room after room Of
the entire house with an artistic sense
and individuality of taste which would
put to the blush the first upholsterer of
the city. The day is not far distant
when this will become o distinct calling
for women. The originality of concepo
tion and design manifested by women
wherever their artistic powers are nj
lowed chance for development will
lead to many new paths for industrious
Womanhood.

One Way OF Doing II.

If we may believe the Raslroad Ga
eette, they havo queer ways in Switzer-
land in regard to dividends. That
journal remarks: If the method which
the United States railways have adopted
for paying dividends be objected to as
entirely foreign to all cash methods for
doing business, it really can not raise a
sudden fear that the companies will
soon exhaust their ability to pay. Pre-
ferred shareholders get their regular
3 per cent. in cash, but the holders
of original shares are compensated in q
much less commonplace manner. When
the general meetings are annually held,
it is calmly decreed that they bo allowed
to travel for three full days through the
Cantons of Zurich, st. Gall and Grisons,
at the expense of nobody except the
roads, these free rides to be accepted as
dividends. Much is made of this priv
ilege by the helpless shareholders' for
whole crowds of them turn out for the
Rratuitous excursions.
