A young man about twenty years
of age, accompanied by a girl two
or three years younger, reached
the city by a Bay City train, anc
after looking around FOR few
hours returned to the depot and
bought some sandwiches for lunch
The fellow was heard Dragging a
good deal as to what he had done
and could do and cities he had Wis
tied, and by-and-by he walked up
to the depot policeman and handed
him four five cent cigars and said:
That's my girl in there"
"Yes.n
"She justthinks her eyes of me. "
"So?n
"I've never had chance to show
her how I'd die for her if neces-
sary, and it seems to me we might
put up little job right here"
"How?n
"Well, suppose me and her

The CHIEFTAN extends its best
wishes to the Industrial school for
Indian girls, and heartily wishes it
success. This idea Of Industrial
work is the one which will eventu-
ally solve the Indian problem. 1t
is one the Cherokees ought to in
fuse into all their schools, as is in
deed contemplated. Our Worces-
ter Academy will be shining ex-
ample in few years of this very
idea, as Carlisle and Hampton now
are.
