en- toothpick. Sherman smokes nerv-
ously, and is always rclighting his cigar.
Sheridan enjoys a quiet smoke, but
can't do anything else while he is smok-

Wing interest quite bweaks me up!"

had been given all the benefits of civil
ization, including dresses Of the latest
style, and who recently cast them aside
and went to live in a wickiup with a
Piute buck, has repented of her passion
for savage life. Recently, after drink
ing bad whiskey all night, he arose in
the morning and began to beat and kick
her. She escaped to town and has once
more donned the garb of civilization.
Perhaps it would be a good thing to
send her east as lecturer on the beau
ties of savage life. :.,..<.,
