The Indian Went West.

A few years ago Tom Croft was yard
biaster or something mt Omaha. He
was full of business, but always had
time to work in joke here and there
The railroad men were troubled more
by begging Indians, lazy loafers that
hung around to beg and steal, than they
were 10y their money. Nobody wanted
TO inaugur0te war against the lazy
creatures, 80 they were given money
whenever they called for it. Each In
dian was armed with paper that some
body had written for them, asking for
charity, and they would present tho
paper and rake in the shekels. There
was one mean, drunken red man who
begged only TO get drunk, and he was n
dirty, impudcnt whelp that everybody
dislikod. One night while drunk he lost
his paper, his recommend, " and ho
appeared at Toms Office and by signs
slowed that he wanted Tom 10 write him
another paper. Tom said he would do
anything. to accommodate an Indian, 80
he took n pen ard paper, and with n
solemn face he wrote as follows:
"Io WHOM n MAY CONCERN Tho
bearer Of this is the dirtiest, lyingest,
thieyngest whelp Of n buck Cherokee
that ever scalpcd n white man. He is
drunken coward, vile, shameless cuss,
and if he presents this paper 10 any
person ! hope they will kick his spine
clear into the top Of his hat, break his
nose, black his eyes, and maui the over
lasting stulling out Of him.
"Signcd, Ton CRoFT."
Tho Indian took the paper, said
How 10 Tom and marched off to-
wards the car shops. He went in MS the
boys were sitting around eating lunch,
and handed it TO a big Irishman who had
monkey wrench in his hand. The
Irishman read il out loud to the boys,
md the crowd went for the Indian. The
freshman scalped him with the monkey 1
wrench, blacksmith tore his blanket
of, and MS the Indian started to run, the
whole crowd broke after him. He was
kicked by about forty different sized
boots, hit by as many tin pals, in as
many different places, doused with dirty
water, and MS he passed Toms Office ho
was tho worst looking, and tho most
frightened Indian that ever was seen in
Omala. He shook his fist ut Tom, and
went over tho hill out of sight, and for
two days PEOPLE who came into Omaha,
from the West, told about seeing rcd
streak pointed towards the Pacific slope,
and the air was filed with yells, war
whoops and language that nobody could
understand. 1t is said from that time
to this no Indian has ever begged with
n paper west Of the Missouri River II
they want anything they go and steal it,
as 1t il less dangerous. --PtcES SIM.

them. they are turned into gas, which
occupies many times the bulk the oil
did. When pop corn is gradually
heated, and made so hot That the oil
inside of the kernels turns to gas,
this gas cannot escape through the
hull of the kernels, but when the
interior pressure gets strong enough
it bursts the grain, and the explosion
is so violent that it skaters it in the
most curious manner. The starch
in the grain becomes cooked, and
takes up great deal more space than
it did before.

miles below this city, and educated
young lady-a Boston lady. too-who Is
for the time member of the tribe, be-
cause she hopes in this way to learn
something Of the inner life OF this, the
oldest tribe, excepting the Pawnees, in
this part of the West. This lady, Miss
A. g. Fletcher, was in the city on Tues
day with DIR. Wilkinson, agent Of the
Omahas and Winnebagos. The agent
says that on taking charge of the Oma-
has few weeks ago he found this lady
with them, and nearly starved. Miss
Fletcher is a brunette, solidly built,
about % years old, rather goodlooking,
and with u directness Of speech and
way of standing silent while irrelevant
conversation is going on that probably
comes of her present mode of her life
Miss Fletcher intimated to DIR. Wilkin

she had been with some of the war

Cows MIX for Colts.

With proper care and but very
little more real outlay, colt, says
The Breeders Gazette, can be made as
large. and worth more. at twelve
months than the ordinary two.year.
old. During the first six months OF
their lives, II vast number OF colts
are half starved, without it once &C.
curing to the minds of their own
ers what makes them appear So I'M
promising. The trouble is that many
mares are but indiifei ent nurses at
best, and when kept ut work on Il
diet of hay, corn and water, rs Is 50
common in every neighhOrhood, the
colts have, with u maximum oil tirlnS,
wearing exercise, but Il Scant supply
of such suStcnance as they require
to keep going, 10 say hothiiiS OF
making I'M appreciable growth. such
colts are always thin, and i'll the last

down condition which its rig"rs do
not improve. Toward spring they he
come hosts for lice without and
worms within besides being conv-n-
lent victims of distrmpcrS. mndli"ieS,
and other ills that hetall the poverty
stricken and delicate. y simple rene
DIV for these ills Is within the reach
al most OF those who desire To use
IT, which We suggest: When very
young, the colt can be taught To drink
fresh cows milk. and, after three or
four weeks, will drink skim milk, or
almost any that pig will and If
supplied with il ut regular intervals,
not tn far apart, it will show an in
crease in growth that will be very
pleasing. We are of the opinion
that no use can he made of some
spare milk on the farm that will
prove more satisfactory than giving
it To II colt in which the owner takes
II pride; and We do not recommend the
raising of any other sort. There is
probably no class OF stock so mis-.
managed or neglected during the first
year of their lives rs the colts, and
to see in the spring one that is plump
and thrifty is by no means common,
while it is very common to see them
when six or eight months old not
worth what was paid for the service
of the sire. The colt that has been
accustomed to have some one feed
and pet it is usually tame and gentle
and does not need to be put through
u "breaking" process, with its at
tendant risks, as does one that ha:
grown without kind care and treat
lnent. The best disposed colts thu
writer has seen were taught to ea'
oats and drink milk to stand tied
to lead and to come at call, befor,
they were Il month old, and no break
ing was ever required. A little milk
Il little oats and kindness bestOwe,
on Il colt are well marketed.
