Gasmann has been much misrepresented: !:
Agent Gasmann, of the Winnebago res.
ervation, says if any of his Indians are
off their reservation 1t is without his
consent or knowledge. He further
states, if, at the expiration of sixty days,
the Indian police are ordered out to re-
move settlers, he will resign his position.
This statement accords with the past
estimate Of Major Gasmann, gathered
from his acts as agent of Missouri river

Surveyor General Fessenden is making
prominent the last days of his official
life by the PRONUNCIATION of charges
against the late secretary of the interior,
Senator Teller. He alleges that the
secretary of the interior conspired with
other parties for the possession Of land
in the Turtle mountain reservation of
Dakota upon which the townsite of Dun.
seth is located. Territorial Secretary
Teller, in replying to Fessenden's state
ments. says:
I suppose this charge grows out OF
feeling on the part of Surveyor General
Fessenden, because OF severe criticism
of Feesenden's action year or more ago

He went home sick one night and

A GAMBLERS SUICIDE.
Stalking a Fortune on an Ace and
JoSing.---A Tragedy of Thrilling
Interest.

"Ihere used to be in the neighbor-
hood of Camargo, all old and wealthy
ranchmsn who was ridden by one of
the most singular gambling hobbies l
have ever seen. His name was Refu-
gio Garcia. He was a devoted monte
player, and his idiosyncrasy was the
ace of diamonds. He had a tremen-
dous reverence for that card under all
conditions, but when 1t lay face up
ward on the table, flanked on either
side by spade or club, his faith In
it knew no bounds. He was said to
have obtained his superstition from n
dream OF his dead wife, who was
scaIped by Lipans three years before
L knew him. 1t may haYe been so and
it may not. Anyhow, he clung to his
card with a. reckless love. And the
most singular part OF 1t was that 1t
rarely won. He had wasted away
many a fat COW on it when L first saw
him, but threw away more afterward.
When the first gambling booth was
opened and before the trainmen had
fairly prepared for the opening night
Refugio was there, gazing patiently at
the dealer and waiting for the game to
commence. 1 knew him, as l said,
when he had money. 1 was with him
during a part Of his long chase after
fortune and 1 was to be with him at
the death. The train, under command
of Juan Nandez, arrived at Camargo
and pitched its tents. 1t was big
one and brought lots of goods ana
money.
"There were several gamblers con-
nected with it; in fact, they were
nearly all gamblers by instinct, but
the loudest and the wealthiest and the
fanciest-the man with the finest booth
and the greatest quantity of money
spread on the table before him---was a
Frenchman named Antoine. He was
the first man, too. who was ready for
business, and, of course, he caught Re-
fugio. / had learned that the old man
had sold his last rancho a few weeks
before, and he was supposed to have the
money with him. he entered the tent,
stoopIng low at the entrance, and fol-
lowed him. When he Slaughtered up
in the glare OF the lamps saw that his
face was very pale. His lips twitched
neryousIy and his hands shook as he
diyed beneath his vest and unfastened
broad belt. He spilled few gold
coins on the table and carefully replaced
the remainder.
"T will play only little tonight, he
said; but, Antoine, l dreamed of Juli-
anna last night and i shall win from
you

canine teeth, and salG. in sibila Spanish:

''Now look here, Robin; | want to
get out. You didn't think [ should

He looked at me quietly and said
''More you haven't, sir, yet. You

can without me! No, sir-we're quits;
50 we'd better keep so. You've found

ou see, sir, in the old days, when

1t was a rough time for the Papists; SO
they contrived this ere convenience.
Your larder was their private chapel,
and the stairs led to it, and, when they
wanted air and exercise, they could 60
up yon ladder to the roof, where they
could see everything and not be seen.
THAT'S where has my evening 'bacca."
L followed him down to the larder
wall, and he showed me ring in the
floor, by raising which step was seen
leading down to a square hole from
which another trap opened up III the
middle of the larder We retraced our
steps to the gallery door.
"And now, sir. you va seen all, "stid

door is precious easy to-nightI'' he ex-
claimed. "Well. in course. if the wind
hadn't blown Sir Godfrey down, you'd
have never found me out, sir"
To cut a long story short, Round
Robin made no more depredations upon
our larder, but turned out an honest
good fellow, SO that II was with genu-
inc regret that, at the end of three
months we packed up to return home
and said goodbye to him.
We occupied the old house three
years in succession in the same way,
When we arrived the third year Round
Robin was missing. We asked whert
he was.

"and it leads-where do you think? In

In personal appearance, Turkish
women present a tyre rs peculiar and
remarkable as any under heaven. Their
compilations are generally fair and of
the most delicate sOftness, owing,
doubtless, to the constant use OF the
bath, as we'll as the protection of the
ydSimqk, or veil, without which they
never go ahead. Their features are
regular, and their almond shaped eyes
bright and black, and so valued for
their size that great-eyed ladies are
promised by the Prophet as one OF the
sublImest joys of paradise. Beauty
spots, or moles, are considered OF great
value. Their costume is as peculiar as
their personal appearance. 1t COLI
sists of two parts-the ellGrry and the
sbalrdr. The oHtGrTy, or dress, is Il
long robe, trailing about a yard behind,
and resembles much the morning dress
of European lady, only the eRtdrry is
composed of three skirts, as 1T were,
open in front and on the two sides, the
latter openings extending to the hips.
The front skirts are not thrown open,
as is the European fashion, but brought
together and buttoned up, the ends
gathered between the limbs and thrown
back, which, pressing upon the skirt
behind, serve to form the train. When
the ladies are under no restraint of
etiquette, the trains Of their dresses are
either tucked up to their girdleS or
held in their hands, and thus they walk
about the house in a free and easy style,
whether rollicking, chasing each other,
dancing, strolling in the garden or ell
gagged in household work. a belt or
a scarf encircles the waist, a cOquettish
coiffure surmounts the head and en-
broidered slippers adorn the feet. These
slippers are worn slipshod to facilitate
their leaving them on the floor when
they ascend and seat themselves on the
sofas. Their movements are graceful,
their forms being dnder no artificial
restraint, as that instrument of torture,
yclept the corset, is never worn by
them. Their gait is also peculiar.
They do not move about on tiptoe, or
walk in measured and firm steps, but
glide about softly in dignIiied manner,
as if "skimming the earth" in sort OF
qlisSade, which is considered lady-like
in their estimation. The bang IS purely
Turkish, having originated with them,
as is the square cut OF the neck Of
dress known as the "POmpadour, "
which style that lady had doubtless
borrowed from the Turkish bellies.
Sometimes the eatarry is worn high
neck, and at others decollete, exposing
much Of the bust, but never the
shoulders.

The Pip.

This is not disease in itself, but the
result of a feverish cold. A dry, horny
scale forms on the end OF the tongue,
preventing the bird from eating. The
bird becomes weak, its feathers grow
ruffied, its beak turns yellow at the
base, and, without attention, it dies.
The cure is simple. With sharp knife
remove the scale at the end Of the
tonge, and give two or three grains of
black pepper with fresh butter three
times day for week.
