[Chicago News.


Two wellmeaning men, one from st.
Louis and the other from St. Paul, had an
argument in the Sherman House on the
pronun citation of the word depot.
81 say 1t it's 'dee-po!n said the st. Paul
man.
'"And 1 say it's 'day-po answered the St.
Louisian.
''In the course of time they put up SIS
apiece and agreed to leave it to tall, fine
looking man on the other side of the rotunda.
Going up to him, the st. Paul disputant
said: ''My friend and l have small bet on
the pronunciation of the word 'dee-po.' /
say that 1t is 'dee-po,' and he says it is day
pc Now who is right!'
Pardon me-" replied the stranger, shut
l never heard the word before. How do you
spell it, and what does it meanl"
The betting men looked at each other
obviously, and one said: Depot, a rail-
way station"
sob, yes, yes; excuse me. You mean
'dep-po,' of course. Yes, yes. deppo. 1t is
pronounced 'deppo.''
'sLook here!" yelled the St. Paul man,
''where do you come froml''
Boston, sir.''
'sWell, there can't no Boston man settle a
bet for me on the English language. Come
on, let's interview Carter Harrison.

Preachers were not always happy to have
good reports OF their sermons appear in the
newspapers. Once Mr.. Soulsby, a reporter
on the London Times, ventured to take note
OF a sermon preached by DIR. Hook, then

writing behind pillar of the parish church,
DR.. Hook promptly denounced the culprit
and charged with an act almost of sacrilege.

THE RIVER OF LIFE.

The more we live, more brief appear
Our LIES succeeding stages;
A day to childhood seems year,
And years like passing ages.
The gladstone current of our youth,
Ere passion yet disorders,
Steals lingering like river smooth
Along its greasy borders.
But as the careworn cheeks grow wan,
And sorrows shafts fly thicker,
Ye stars, that measure life to man,
Why seem your courses quicker?
When joys have lost their bloom and breath,
And life itself is vapid,
Why, as we near the Falls OF Death,
Feel we its tide more rapid.
1t may be strange, yet who would change
Times course to slower speeding
When one by one our friends have gone
And left our bosoms bleeding?
Heaven gives our years Of fading strength
lndemnifying feetness;
And those of youth seeming length
Proportioned to their sweetness.

For out of darkness springs forth light,
Thy wonderous power revealing.

Sure that thy hand protecteth;
The counsel of thy love. know,

Let life and death, then, mark the year,
Be joy or grief my lot to bear,
All still my good effecteth.
Be far or near my journeys end,
The thought shall not Cypress me;

In life or death to bless me:

In heaven my footsteps safely land,
And let heayens joys possess me.

would seem from his statement that trouble
is ahead for great many parties who have
been obtaining land by easy but illegal
methods. He says: The land laws have
been abused in shameful manner all over
the territory" said he, "and you may look
for a good many cancellations of claims in
this locality as well as in other sections.
Since coming into the neighborhood yester-
day have found five or six good quarter Sec
tons where the laws had not been observed
to any reasonable extent. In some cases the
parties expect TO make final proof, and in
others the claimants have already obtained

every morning (and as itappeared afterward,
was the signal for the Indians to commence
the fight, when instantly from four
to five hundred Indians opened fire upon
everybody and everything within their
reach, aud the whites fell in every direction.
Spencer was hit in the right arm, then in the
breast, the ball striking q rib and CHANGING
of; then In the abdomen, tearing open the
flesh and making frightful wound. He
staggered to the stairs, closed the door after
him and barred it, crawledup to the floor and
threw himself upon a bed, while below he
could hear the crack of the Indian rifles, the
horrible yells of the warriors, and the groans
of the dying. All was in terrible state of
confusion. In the room in which he lay
were guns and ammunition, and this the In
dams knew, so they dared not venture as
they were well aware that Spencer could dis
pute the passage of the stairway, and they
knew he had weapons TO do it with.
GOOD INDIAN FRIEND.
While lying upon the bed, conscious that
his time had come to die, he heard a humping
at the door, and recognizing the voice of
Chaska-with whom he had fished and hunt
ed when mere boys together. Spencer got
up and though very weak, descended the
stairs, opened the door and then went back
to his bed. Chaska came up, approached
the bed; asked him If he were much hurt;
IL he thought he would live, and putting his
arm about him, conducted him down stairs.
where they confronted 3 gang of Indians
who were painting for his blood. Chsska in
stantly threw himself in front of his friend,
exelaiming: 81 will save this mans life,
and whoever hurts him, hurts me; stand
backr' And Notwithstanding he was the
head warrior of Little Crows band, and a
man of great influence with the tribe, yet so
terribly excited were the Indians that one of
them snapped his gun at Spencer twice, but
fortunately it did not so off; and then an
other Indian made for him with a
fixed determination to kill him. but Chaska
drew his tomahawk, and in minute more
would have slain the assailant, but he and
others being afraid drew off, aud Spencer
and his friends made for the grass, when he
was again set upon by an Indian, who in
formed Chaska that it was well understood
that not white person wss to be saved, but
Chsska replied: 'sThis man is my friend and
he shall live, so be gone,n and fearing in
slant death, as he well knew the determined
character of Chaska, he left to carry on his
murderous career somewhere else.
