A Rogue's Dodge.

The latest London rogue's de-
vice is to drive hanson, and
from that elevated position to pick
out from the roofs of four wheel
ers such articles ofluggage as seem
most promising. These he places
on the roof of his own cab, and
drives away with them, presuma-
bly, to some railway station. The
proceeding is of the neatest kind,
and every precaution is taken that
forethought can suggest, In order
that the spectacle Of luggage on
an empty cab should not excite
suspicion, temporary fare is pro-
vided, called a ''buck;' he has
nothing to do but look as if he
owned the property over his head,
though in reality he knows moth
ing about it, and is specializing in
his own mind as to whether it is a
carpeth"g r a portmanteau.-The
Argonati.

Venezuela's Arm.

The machcte, a broad sword or
knife, about two or three feet long
and carried without sheath, is
the universal arm Of Venezuela
and Central America. In the
southern states Of this country the
principal use for the machete is
for cutting sugar cane, but in
South Americr it replaces the
pocket knife, the axe and the
sword. The llanero haciendero is
never seen without it. He cuts
bread with it, peels sugar cane,
cuts bananas and other fruit from
the trees, chops wood, cuts his
way through the primeyal forests,
slaughters hens Or pigs and de-
tends himself against the attacks
of wild beasts and serpents. There
is no better arm against the SER
pent than the machete, for with a
single stroke the native will cut
them in two.--E. De Hess War;
tegg.

The Merry laps.

Go where you will you can find
nowhere such a bright, good tenn
pered, laughter loving and innate
ly polite people as these Japs.
They have a strong pride, too,
that is nowhere more clearly
shown than in the fact that though
a Jap seldom passes beggar with
out giving him something, yet
there are comparatively few in the
country. 1fyou are annoyed by
being followed about by curious,
but note respectful, crowd, you
have only to hold out a coin and
they melt away like shekels at a
church fair; they feel hurt at being
taken for mehdic ants.-Tokio Cor.

Of An Old Saying.

1.-The divinity students broke
out again. said the young man
that boards on South Division
street. 1--WE were sitting at dinner
today, and Miss Stages she up and
says one of her pupils will never
set the river on fire. The divinity
student looked up and said: 4 see
that you, like other good people,
are in error occasionally What
do you mean 2 said Miss Stages,
getting red in the face. L mean,
said the divinity student, that
when you talk about setting the
river on fire you are useing an old
saying that's got off the track. it
used to be, Hell never set the
Thames on fire. and people when
they said it had in mind the river
Thames; on the contrary it means
a miller's sieve, called a tense,
which was used in the old wind
and water mill days. This tense
had wooden rim, which slid back
and forth in wooden frame. If
the man that worked twas ener-
getic in his work he sometimes set
the tense on fire from fric ton.
Hence it was said Of dull, slow
person that he would never set the
tense on fire, and the saying has
been corrupted to its present FORM"
Buffalo Currier.

mothers death.
IS ATTEMPTS TO KILL HIS FATHER.
W ainahboozho made extensive
preparations to go on the war
path, he painted himself as no In
dian ever was painted, and arm
ing himself with bah. gah-mah-
gun (war-club), he started for
the fourth fold of the skies. The
All.wise saw his grandson coming
while He was yet in conncil, and
He became very much alarmed as
w ainahboozho was invincible to
the Spirits as well as the living,
so it was hurriedly decided that He
must endeavor to appease His
grand-son's anger by offering and
grating to him the full control of
of tAe Earth, as sovereign, lord
and master. So when Wainah-
boozlo, who was in the shape of
a blatk cloud, came in sight his
eItried to persuade him in or
der to talk and reason with him
SO tina; he would not harm his ia.
Their, but his appeals were of no
avail. In blind frenzy Wainah-
boozho rushed at his father, who
calmly stood, erect and firm, with
arms folded across his massive
chest and his snowy locks trailing
the ground, and when Wainah-
boozho c,me near, he raised one
Of his hands and motioned for him
to stop, then in deep full voice
he spoke thus: my well-beloved
son, why do you seek to kill me?
| did not kill your mother, I loved
her to well to do that, but your
dear mother died that you might
live; you, whom I have guarded
50 fondly from infancy, and now
you seek and would kill me"
Again Wainahboozho was obdu-
rate and raising his war-club on
high would have struck his father
down, but suddenly there appear
ed before him a beautiful vision,
as of a young man, with eyes that
seemed overlooking with mercy
and kindness and who seemed to
look through and through Wal.
nahboozho. Then the vision spake,
and said, "listen my brother, let
not your hand be raised against
another-seek not to take away
or destroy that which you can not
give. Be reconciled, the Earth is
given you to control, now peace
be with you.'' And Wainahboo-
zho knew that this was the Spirit
Of peace-his brother. So he al
lowed his father to go unmolest-
ed, while he went about consult
ing the many spirit as to the best
course he should pursue in assum-
charge and control of the Earth.
After he had learned what he de-
sired to know he returned to No.
komis and with the avowed pur-
pose of making a tour of the
Earth. WA1NAHBoozHo and his
journey to the land of Nee-bah-
gee-zis (sleeping.sun) and his en-
counter with the great spirit gam
bier destiny will be continued in

WAINAHBOOZHO.

WAINAHBOOZHO
Said Me-she-nah-may-qway'sf ia
Their, II told you Wainahboozho
was destined to conquer all of US
and he will surely kill you. Try
and swallow enough water so as to
drown him. Me.she-nah-may
away proceeded to do as he was
bid but it was of no avail, as
Wainahboozho could float about
in his canoe despite all the water
his enemy could swallow. When
the whale could swallow no more
water he cried out in agony, II
cannot help myself, he is killing
me- His father again spoke to
him and said: <'Go at once to the
shore and endeavor to throw him
up, for should you remeain here,
he will surely kill you and then
came out and kill the rest of u.s.
Me-she-nah- may-qway needed no
second invitation to act on any
suggestions which presented itself
looking to relief from the terri
bly, nauseous morsel which he had
so imprudently swallowed, and he
forth with started for the shore,
and in the direction of Wainah-
boozho's home.
When Wainahboozho learned
this he said to the weasel, eve
will not injure him now until we
reach the shore near our home"
After the whale had reached the
shore he again proceeded to swal-
low water for the purpose of
drowning VAIN ahboozho and then
throwing him up, but at this time
the weasel was busy biting and
decorating their victims heart
strings, who soon ceased all ef-
forts and in little while, after
a few convulsive hutters, lay still
and dead.
On the fourth day, after WAL
nahboozhos departure, Nokomis
arose early in the morning and
gazed eagerly at that portion of
the skies indicated to her by WAL
nahboozho previous to his depart
ure, and behold, it was bright,
red and rosy! And then she knew
that all was we'll with her grand
son. And as instructed she start
ed in the direction of the shore.
Here she was amazed to see a
monster fish apparently dead and
floating near the beach, on ap-
preaching nearer she was surprised
and terrified to hear the sound of
voices issueing, as it were, from
within the big fish. However her
fears were dispelled when she
heard a well known voice calling
and instructing her to come and
cut Me.she.nah.may-qway open.
Nokomis did as she was bid and
soon Wainahboozho and his COM
panion, the weasel, came forth,
apparently none the worse from
their late experience in Me-she-
nah -may-qway's bowels.
DANCE AND COUNCIL.
After his release, Wainahboo-
zho, accompanied by Nokomis,
proceeded to their wigwam. And
while he lay down to rest and
sleep, Nokomis prepared a feast
of ducks and wild rice, when the
meal was ready Wainahboozho
was awakened. He eat very heart
lily, being very hungry, as he had
eat nothing for four days. He eat
and rested at intervals until he
had consumed the whole Of the

have been holding pow-wows all day,
endeavoring to agree upon programme
to be followed Mt the conference. From
all that can be learned it seems improb.
able that any agreement will be reached
as the result of the Indians visit here.
1t is said that they are almost hcPe!essiy
split up among themselves, and that
there is slight prospect Of their being
able to unite on any proposition.
They have, it is said, divided into two
chief parties. One party, comprising
Indians from the Pine Ridge and those
Rosebud agencies, led by American
Horse and Swift Bear, are opposed tc
anything being done at this time. They
say that the commission bill has only
been read to them once, that they dc
not understand the provisions, and that
they do not wish to sell their lands ii
this time. The other party, in which
Sitting Bull and John Grass arc leaders,
are willing to sell their lands, but want {
much better price than so cents an acre
Nearly all the Indians are suffering from
the effects OF their long and unusual
journey, and many Of them have bad
colds.

THE AMERlCUS CLUB
Entertained a, supper at sho windsor by
The PIumGd IknIGhts.

Entertained at supper ut 'ho Windsor BY
the PIumGd Knights.
The Americas Club, an organization
composed OF the leading Republicans Of
pittsburgh, the membership OF which
numbers over four hundred, sent down
over one hundred and fifty members,
headed byasplendid band. They arrived
shortly after I o'clock on the Pauhandle's
first special, and were taken in charge by
the Plumed Knights, who had been
their guests in Pittsburgh last Saturday
night. They were escorted 10 tho post
OF honor, the right OF the main column,
directly behind the Chief Marshal and
his staff. The Americas men marched
superbly over the entire route and in
their cream white hats aroused great en-
tbusasm. Nearly all the time they car
ried their red, white and blueumbrellas
raised and kept them whirling, which
gave theirline a charming kaleidoscope
appearance. At the Main street Ell
trance OF the Hotel Windsor, which was
reached at 1910 o'clock, the Knights
turned of and, followed by their guests,
the Americas club, led the way TO the
diring room, where fine supper was
served the PittsburGhcrs. Manager
Carney and Mr.. Hobbs, one OF the
proprietors gave their personal SUI
pervision to the supper, which was,
Iudging entirely from the praises
OF the visitors, all that could be
desired. After supper cigars were pro
yided and then the Americas men gath
cred in the Office, and accompanied by
their band, sang the praises OF the
knights long and loud.
The knights were assisted in most
material manner by the patriotic Repub'
liCan ladies OF WheelinE-the same ones
who presented them With their hand
some flag. In fact the supper was en-
tirely the work OF the ladies and the
Knights are under lasting obligations ia
them. The Americas men were made
aware Of the fact that the ladies
were the prime movers in this supper
the most pleasing feature OF the demon
stration, and they cheered them time
and again. The ladies not only provided
the supper, but they secured beaatiiT
bntton-hole bouquets for every one Of
the guests OF the Knights. Without
the ladies, the Knights would
have been hopelessly swamped,
and they join with the Americas men
in the most heartfelt thanks for the en-
tertainment afforded. 1.-THE ladies
God bless EN-" was toast that every
one responded to with three times
three. 4 short speech by Major ]. V,
L. Rodgers in the rotunda of the hotel
after supper was warmly appIauded by
the visitors and Knights.
