But in display only is he ambi- uous 10 be considered wealthy Imme- dia,ely upon supplying hi nself with am- intuition, the buck enters dry goods sto-e 10 spend the remainder of his money for red striped calico and yell low barred blankets for himself and squaw.
 The squaws are not 10 be iritied with. They do not hesitate 10 defend them selves when called upon, without asking for the assistance of the bucks: bu, even here where they are so well known. very few persons ever imagined that a squaw dared assume the aggressive toward her hege lord. until recent occurrence proved that such thing was possible As a small number of Fiatheads were riding up the principal street, one of the squaws became incensed at some remark her buck made, and urging her cayuse alongside of his, she bea, him unmerci- fully across the head and face with the butt end of her whip.

 About dozen Chinsmen were coming down the street in a body when a small

party of these Indians was in town, and as they were passing by an auction store in front of which two bucks were stand ing, one of the bucks grabbed China man by the queue and. drawing his scalr- ing knife, circled it around the Celestial's hca! in a threatening manner, uttering the characteristic -Ugh!" His expres- sion was so ferocious that John China man, thinking hts last hour had come, gave vent to several ear-splitting shrieks, and would have tainted had not some white men standing near compelled the Indian to release him at that stage. The other Chinaman had deserted him at the first alarm, and quickly battered up the street to Chinatown.
 Presently word was passed to the bucks to fly for their lives, a piece of advice they promptly followed bv mounting their cayuses and heading for camp, when they beheld several hundred Chinese coming down the street. Judging by their fierce countenances and violent language. no doubt the aggrieved Chinaman's friends meant to have terrible vengeance, yet there are persons in town who insist that the laundrymen were agreeably dis appointed to find the bucks flown.

Running Birds.
English Illusira,ea Magazin

English Illustrated Magazine
 Sun-birds are only found Tn Africa and India. including the Malayan region true humming- birds, as every ybody knows. are entirely confined 10 the American continent. In other words, the same place in nature which has been occupie d in the tropics of the old world by group of sparrow-like birds, has been occupied Tn the tropics of the ne world by group of highly developed swifts. Hence the humming, birds. though descended from totally different ancestral stock. have Tn the end acquired almost every one of the peculiar features which the sun-birds display Tn our own eastern continental area. The same conditions have in the end produced in both cases pretty much the same results. At some remote pe- riod. group of tropical American swifts began to hunt for insects among the tubes of flowers, exactly as the ancestral sun-birds began to do in the eastern hem isphere. Gradually, as the habit of fiower-haun,ing became more and more pronounced, the organization of the birds began to depart. under the influence of natural selection, more and more widely ioiii 1uC pitttiitlNC S~ift-ilkS typc. ne birds best adapted to the new ciroum- stances survived and intermarried. while the worse adapted died constantly out. The short. broad bill was thus slowly heightened into the extremely long. slen- der, and graceful beak of the modern humming-birds. and the wings were adapted to the rapid. darting flight from flower to flower. and the habit of poising stationary in front of the chosen bunch of blossoms. Yet to the end. the hursming- birds in their anatomical peculiari,ies stlll remain essentially swifts. and are easily distinguished by naturalis; from the extremely similar bu, fundamentally different perching sun-brds. Indeed. MT. Wallace has shown that hummng- birds even now live, like swlf,s. mainly on insects. and when he tried 10 feed some young humming birds in captivity on sugar and water alone. he found they re- fused that unwonted fare in favor of flies and spiders. In short. young humming- birds are still essentially in the swift stage of their development

How a Little Girl Got General Scouts
 Autograph.


 Washington Corr. Philadelphia Record !
 A lady passing the season here was very anxious to get General Scott's auto graph. He was very busy, and she found her task very diffcult. One day the happy thought struck her that her pretty little ten-y ear-old daughter might be able in this case to do what she herself could not. So she sent the charming little girl to the generals office with the autograph album. The orderly told her iha, she could no, see the busy general. She would no, be denied. She would wait, she said. A, the end of half an hour the orderly took her request 10 the adlutan;. The latter admitted her. but told her she could not possibly see the general. She said she must. 4, las, the adju,ant showed her the door leading 10 General Scou's office. and told her she could go in if she dared. Taking him at his word, she marched righ, in. This is her de- sorip,ion oi the call given a; the time : '' 1 was afraid al first when he looked up |: but as soon as he saw i, was only me, he said right pleasantly Well. little girl. what do you want' And told him my ma wanted him to write his name in her book; and he looked sharp at me and then smiled little bit. and shook hands with me and asked me who my ma was. and told him, and told him my pa was in .he army. and ma was all alone with me. and then he just kissed my cheek and wrote in mas book and said Good morning to me, and came out. and nobody didn't hurt me at all" This is what he wrote Treason is the greatest Scost'
