Indian Nerve.

Devils Lake Inter Ocean: Alex
Robinson, formerly Of st. John, but
% of this city, was an eyewitness
recently of "A barbarous sun-dancc par
ticipated in by some of the Turtle
mountain Indians. One young buck
perforated himself through the muscles
of the breast, passing a pointed stick
from nipple to nipple beneath the
muscles. He then tied n string to each
end Of the stick and fastened the strings
to the bride of his horse. Walking
backward he led the horse about the
hills and over the ground where the
sun-dance was taking place. Another
equally ncrvy and equally foolish buck
forced q pointed stick through the
muscles of one of his arms. Through
the wound thus made a string was
passed, and to the ends Of the string
was fastened a piece of raw meat. The
buck then paraded about dragging the
meat on the ground. The object of
tins act Of self-inflicted cruelty was to
keep the devil away" These are the
Indian children whom Uncle Sam is
spending large sums OF money to civ
ilize.

woman. AS the poor and dependent,
tho laboring class around you, value
you, such is your real worth. Iryou are
not good and useful and desirable in
your little community, you will never
be worth much in large one. If
the younger children and servants do
not miss you when you leave home
for a few days, the world will not
miss you when you drop out Of it.
If one would retain both the conf.
dence and respect Of people, she
must have charity, that is love. for
all. Harsh measures or words never
win people. A drawn sword does
not concilate the enemy. The woman
who is always in the opposition may
be bright and attractive in a certain
way, but she is not tic one to help
children out in their sports, young
people in their gatherings, or to com.
fort the sick and sorrowing. A girl
may have decided opinions about
things and never enter into heated
argument to prove their correctness.
Our friend is not answered yet as
to what she shoul do, nor will
undertake to answer her questions. If
I were to write rs woman never wrote
before, / could not tell her, for this
is something that she must evolve
out of her own Thought and effort.
1t is to be part Of her character and
that is growth, not an acquisition.
But if l bad her here by my side to
night 1 would say: "Begin at home"
Do the duty next to you. If it be
darning q sock, darn it better than
sock was ever darned before. If it
be baking bread, let every particle of
the flour be seasoned and tempered
with loving thoughts of those for
whom the bread is made. IF it be
ministering to the wants Of some
poor sick woman on the farm, let her
feel that an angel of light and mercy
has been at her bedside. If il be
tieing up the toe Of some unfortu-
nate child, do it SO tenderly that the
child will almost wish it had another
sore toe for you to tic up. If it be
teaching little Sunday School class,
do it in such a way that they will
feel that they have the best teacher
in the world. BY doing these little
duties as though they were the most
important in tie world, the larger
duties in more extended sphere,
will come easy to you when you
reach the professionalism Spart0n.
