Joking Red Skins.

Bismarck Tribune:-A report of a
narrow escape from drowning on Tues
day came to the Tribune yesterday
morning, the Individual who stood up-
on the brink of eternity being one John
Taylor, who lives on the east bank of
the Missouri about forty miles north
Of Bismarck. The story is one of unus-
ual interest and thrilling sentiment.
Taylor had been chatting with several
Indians who were sIeaking around in
the woods and had bid them goodbye.
The Indians started out on the river in
their canoes and when about twenty
rods from shore they beckoned Taylor
to follow them. Having nothing in
particular to do, Taylor jumped in his
small boat and roved to the point
where the Indians were awaiting his
arrival. The redskins appeared to be
in a %jocular mood, as they wore broad,
expressive grins, and Taylor thought
at first they wanted to race with him.
Much to his surprise, upon reaching
them one of the squaWs leaped over in
to his boat and with loud, defiant laugh
ter began to rock the frail craft from
side to side. BY this time he became
somewhat alarmed, and was about to
row back to shore, when the boat cap
sized, throwing himself and the sauaw
into the water at least fifteen feet deep
and a terrible current. His cries for
help, together with the yelping Of the
much surprised scuaw, attracted the
attention of a neighboring woodman,
named Charles Boynton, and by the
way, the writer's informant, who rush
ed to the shore with gun in hand and
pointed it at the Indians, who immedi-
ately went to the rescue Of Taylor. The
squaW was also saved after her bienni-
al bath, and all brought to shore, where
the Indians explained that the matter
was all a joke and was carried farther
than they intended. Boynton saidthat
he believed the dusky jokers, as they
were well known to be friendly. How
ever, il they had not been hastenen in
the rescue at the point Of the gun, Mr..
Taylor would now be en- his way to the
Gulf of Mexico.

Tobacco and Strong Drink.

Manypersons use tobacco who do not
use strong drink; few use strong drink
who do not use tobacco fist. These
TWO polsqns are peculiarly fitted for
close companionship. Alcohol is a
stimulant, exciting and irritating; to-
baccoi is o narcotic, benumbing, stupe-
flying and depressing; hence, either of
them, if used, prepares the way for the
other. When a man is wearied and ex-
hausted, d glass Of liquor excites and
~eXhilarates him; when he is excited
and worried, afew whiffs from the bbipe
makes him calm as summer evening,
When he has stupefied himself day af-
ter day with the benumbing narcotic.
ne then eNcites himself with the irrita-
ting sAmulant. The poisons work to-
gether like the two halves of a pair of
shears, alcohol exciting, tobacco sooth-
Ing, and both killing, When a man is
dull and heavy from the use of tobacco.
he drinks until he is excited and slim
ulated, then he smokes his pipe until
ne is calm and quiet, and then drinks
again to wake himself up. So the two
poisons work together, like the upper
and neither millstones; and between
them both the man. gets ground up.
Every time he uses tobacco he feels the
need OF . stimulant, every time he
drinks strong drink he cultivates the
desire for a n%arcotic. Such habits, like
hounds, hunt in pairs. When one vul-
ture has fastened it's claws IN a victim,
others are always at hand to assist in
destroying him; so, wherever II of
these vices may beset a thoughtless
mortal, the other is usually not far
away, to assist in dragging him down
to the pit.--Ex,
