A POCkET-PIECE.

Mrs. Ruther sat down, and folding
her hands-a thing she very seldom
did-looked ruefully at the breakfast
table with its array of unWashed
dishes, at the pile of mending in her
work basket neal the window, and,
last and longest, at the heap of letters
in her lap.
They were bills, every one of them;
even the MISUNDERSTANDING square
white envelope, which no n could
have suspected of being a dun, held
the doctors memorandum of the sum
due "for professional services during
past six months"
There were hills from the grocer,
from the butcher and the baker, the
traditional candlestick-maker being
fOrmidably represented by the gas
company with its quarterly statement.
The total made her sick at heart.
Yet she had tried so hard to be
econOmical!-too hard, she thought
bitterly, as she remembered in her
secret soul that Johnnie's attack of
pneumonia might have been averted
by stout rubber boots and by new and
warm under clothing in place of the
old f~annels she had patched and darn
ed so faithfully.
The new garments had to be pur-
chased after all, in spite of her short
sighted thrift. They were the Doc
tors first prescription after the crisis
was past.
She thought, too, how, to save the
expense of a sick nurse, which they
could so i'll afforG, she had tried to
care for the sick boy day and night,
at a time when her own physical Sys-
tenn called for rest. Of course, she
had broken down in the effort, with
the result that she, as well as JOHNNIE,
had TO be nursed, and the doctor had
two patients instead of one. We all
of us make such mistakes, now and
then.
Well, there was no use in crying
over split milk; at all events. she had
no time to sit down for any such pur-
pose, so she went about her duties
with willing hands, If with a heavy
heart.
There was one thing she could do,
IL only John could be made to con-
ent The new cloak, which made
such a heavy item in Draper & De
Lanes bill, ard which John had given
her for Christmas, could be returned

n Four-Legged Fire.Exttnguish er

A well-dressed man entered the
smoking car on an Illinois Central
suburban train with q handsome bull
terror at his heels. Neither man nor
dog attracted attention, and the man
took seat, the dog crouched at his
feet. A passenger at the other end
of the car drew a cigar from his pock-
ct, put it in his mouth, lit a match
and held it carelessly in his hand
waiting for it to burn into bright
blaze Just as the man was raising
it to his cigar the dog saw the match,
ran like streak down the car, sprang
at the match, and catching it in his
mouth extinguished it in an instant.
The dog contentedly trotted back to
his masters feet and sat down as
though he had done a very meritori.

experimenting. Some one lit a par

the dog sprang into the air and
caught it before it fell. Matches light
ed and thrown upon the floor were
extinguished in an instant by the dog
with his mouth and fore paws. Then
somebody, whose instincts were q lit
tie brutal, threw cigar stub with a
brilliant coal of fire on the floor. The
dog sprang on it and, although find
ing it q tougher job than a match,
worried it with mouth and paws till
it was extinguished.

getting secure grip on the animals
collar. A man took piece of paper,
crump1ed it into q ball and lit it.
When it was ablaze he threw it on
the floor of the car. The dog had
been restrained with difficulty during
the operation, and, being released,
made spring and came down on the
paper with all four paws and nose in

This story Is told by Gen. Grant IN

q story in the old army very character
istic of Bragg. On one occasion, when
stationed at post of several compan
les commanded by field officer, he was
himself commanding one Of the compan
L es and at the same time acting post
quartermaster and commissary. He
was first lieutenant at the time, but
his captain was detached to other duty.
As commander of the company, he
made requisition upon the quarter
master-himself-for something he
wanted. AS quartermaster, he declin-
ed to fill the requisition. and endorsed
on the back OF it his reasons for so do
ing. As company commander he re-
sponded to this, urging that his requisi-
tion called for nothing but what he was
entitled to, and that it was the duty OF
the quartermaster to fill It. The quar-
termaster still persisted that he was
right. In this condition of affairs
Bragg referred the whole matter to the
commanding officer. The latter, when
he Saw the nature Of the matter refer

the army, and now you are quarreiing

EXPANDING THE VOCABULARY.

It was high time. The universal feeling
when the announcement came several days ago.
from New-Haven, that President Porter and
two or three battalions of philoloEsts had
begun work on a new dictionary, was that il
was not moment too soon. 1t will supply a
want which has been severely felt ever since
the present Administration began to admin
lister. There have been times prior to the 4th
of last March when the limitations of the
current vocabulary have been felt in greater or
less degree by individuals in scattered localities.
One such. which we now recall, was during the
Hayes Administration. 1t was hot day in
August, and a United States Senator who had
visited the White House and all the Depart
ments in succession, only to find everybody out
of town. stood on the Treasury steps and wiped
his brow. Summarizing in the sun the Federal
City lay desOlate and deserted. Like the
Gallean fishermen he had tOiled all day aud
caught nOthine-nOt 80 much as "a tide waiter.
His emotions, il we may so speak, welled up.
He braced himself to wreak them ON express
sion. But as no poised himself on the threshold
Of speech and swept with his vision the entire
field of the vocabulary, the meagreness OF the
mother tongue, its poverty and paucity and
utter iuadequacy to the demands Of the occasion,
overcame him. He simply said: = This is A
hclofatme,n and took the next train fol

.TTrSTJCE FOR THE CHEYENNES.

The President has issued a proclamation
directing the cattlemen in the Cheyenne and
Arapahoe Reservation in the Indian Territory,
To remove their stock within forty days. Cen
eral Sheridan has telcgraphed the Governor OF
kansas that there is no longer any danger to
be feared from an outbreak of the Chcyennes
He SAWS al have gone down to the bottom Of
affairs here and know that the irritation was
u the result of bad control and oppressive meas
sares." This is the result of sending to the
scene of action an officer wholly free from sell
fish interests and incapable of being swerved
from the line of duty General Sheridan W as
not long in discovering that the reports in cir
culation about the blOOdthrstiness of the Chey-
ennes were set afoat for tho express purpose of
cOnccallng the truth. which was that the In
dans had been gOaded into state approaching
desperation by the impostiOns practi sed on
them, and the failure Of all their attempts to
obtain protection and fair play. AS soon as
they found that there was genuine assurance
of Justice for them they became quiet. and no W
there is no more danger OF an uprising.
In the pas., Indian wars have been often pre-
ciptated through the neglect of the precaution
taken in this case. The first misleading re-
ports have been credited. The deliberate
efforts to drive the Indians on to the warpath
have been allowed to continue, and when at
last they committed acts of violence the army
was lot loose upon them and they were credited
with q fer0ci0us impracticability which could
be met only with the sterncst repressive meas
ures. The abolition of the cattlemens grass
leases, and their expulsion from the Indian
Territory, will probably clear the way for a
time of peace and good will. The appointment
| of an army officer to succeed Agent Dyer may
or may not prove wise step, but until Con-
gress can be persuaded to do away with the
artificial and wholly mschicvous system which
results In shutting the Indian out from civiliza-
ton il will be necessary to maintain make
shift policy, and perhaps this experiment may
at least give the Cheyennes greater protection
against the greed OF their white neighbors, the
cattlemen. IL the indians were made citizens
of course the patcrnal policy would cease, and
it would thenno doubt appear in a little while
that they. were amply able to take care OF them
selves under the laws of the United States
But we make slow progress in Indian reform,

the precise junction Of the quotation mark in Eng
Iish punctuation. Not long ago it ascribed TO The
TRIBUNE certain charges against Mr.. Lothrop.
Minister TO Russia, which were distinctly cited In
our columns, with proper credit, as embodied in an
opinion of the Court OF Appeals. Thursday. In

remarks respecting Mr.. Roachs failure, which 1t
had unwarrantaby ascrlbed to Mr.. Weed, tho
assignee OF the firm. "We perceive" 1t says,

ments began" Our esteemed contemporary, The
