Uncle Sam does not prevent unscrupu-
lous pale faces from imposing on the
unsophisticated red man of the forest.
Only q few months ago Yankee school
mistress from Boston clipped with and
married a Hunkpapa Sioux. 1t is there
fore very gratifying to know that in
purchasing their lands the government
has acted white" with the Sioux, who,
although not very far advanced educa-
tionally are undeniably among the best
red men in the country. The action of
the government in this last treaty with
the Sioux is almost an improvement on
the methods of the great and good man,
William Penn. He did not resort to
violence. but honorably gave them o
few strings of beads and half o dozen
jack-knives for the territory of Pennsyl-
vania, and the man who does not admire
such honesty has the blood of an army
contractor in his veins.-1eras Stiff

sBut what can We do with him.


sBut what can we do with him,

Bury him in the back yard and leave
q little airhole for him." said the father,
explaining how rabbits burrow and live
under the ground, hut secretly hoping
Jimmy would resent the burial and de.
part before morning.
The boys had IL good deal of fun
making an underground home fol
Jimmy that evening. In the morning
they We're up bright and early. After
awhile they came running into the
house and, glowing with excitement,
awoke their father from his morning
nap.
"Oh, papa. para,' said Pinney, u re.
markably bright little fellow, get up

"Well, can't you tell me what it ls?"
"You know Jimmy?"
"Yes."
Well, we know how rabbits grow
"How?'
"Why, You just plant 'em in the
ground and you can get all the rabbits
you want. We planted Jimmy last
night and how there's u whole lot OF

How the Children of Eugene Field Fooled
Their Father-How to Make an Eoltan
Harp-Pepper and Tinker.
Ho,s to Make a. .Eots.n Harp.

Have any of IL young friends ever
seen an molian harp? It is a musical in
strument made by the Greeks many
centuries ago and hung among the
trees or where the wind could blow
upon it, making a low, soft, musical
sound. The Baptist Weekly tells how
to make one, which is very easily done
and inexpensive, for most of the mate
rial can be found about the house.
"Wax a piece of buttonhole twist about
two and o half feet long; tie each end
strongly to a small peg and thrust the
pegs down the crevice between the two
sashes of your southern or western
window, stretching the silk as tight rs
possible. 1t will surprise you, the
sweetness and variety of the tones the
wind will bring from it. Having done
this you may be moved to go further
and prepare o more elaborate :eolian
harp.
Take some quarter-inch wood and
make q box the length of your window
frame, four or five inches deep and six
or seven inches wide. Bore Il few small
holes in q circle near what will be the
upper side of the back of the box when
placed in the widow with the open side
of the box, fasten two bridges like vio-
lin bridges, one at each end, and stretch
on them several strings of fine catgut,
contriving a series of screw pins to aid
in the tight stretching necessary. and
allow of their being tuned to one note.
Then raise your sash on the windy side
of the house, and the wind passing
through the hole and over the strings
will in its rising and falling make very
sweet music.-Americam Cultiuatoy.

Ger,mamv,s Royal Children.

The young Emperor of Germany,
William ii, has five little boys. The
eldest is Z years old. He is the crown
prince and the heir to the throne. He
will some day be Emperor of Germany.
~Heris a fine manly little fellow.
Germany is q very military coulr-
try, and the Emperor William is
such o thorough soldier that strict mill
tary discipline is the order Of the day in
the nurseries of his little people.
AS Don us petticoats are left off, the
tiny boys III dressed in baby uniforms,
and the young crown prince looks quite
like o little soldier.
When their father visits them in their
W quarters (as / suppose / ought to
call such u very military nursery), the
crown prince commands his smaller
brothers to "fall ill.,"
Then Frederick and Albert, who are
scarcely more than babies, fall in."
Little Prince Albert is such q mite that
he is not able to keep his position for
long, and he soon trots away to his
nurses side. But the crown prince and
Prince Frederick stand stiff and
starched like real soldiers till their
father returns their salute in proper
fashion.
When the little crown prince was six
years old, he was given n bedroom to
himself, instead of sleeping i'll the nur-
sery with the others. He was very
pleased, and said, "Ohl that is nice;
now I need not be with the children
any more"
In the summer of 1883. all five boys
had q charming holiday with THEN
mother at the beautiful castle of ODER.
hof, in the forest of Thuringia. Their
father was away.
A little fort was built for them in q
corner of the gardens, with a tent and
two small cannon.
The three eldest, dressed in officers
uniforms. paraded in front of the fort.
Then while the crow prince beat the
drum, an old soldier showed the othe,
two how to attack and defend the fort
Little Prince Augustus William. who
was only a year and half, was dressed
in white. and wore q tiny helmet. He
looked on and clapped his hands.
In Germany every boy. whether he i.
the son of the Emperor or of a peasant
has, some day, to be a soldier.
The Emperor is very fond of his five
boys. Almost his first question is, when
he returns home, How are the boys?'

Hoe the Children oy' Eugene Field Fooled
Their Father.

Mr.. Eugene Field, the graceful poet
and learned literateur of Chicago, says
the Washington Post, has three boys,
commonly called Melvin, Pinney and
Daisy, respectively. What these three
boys can't think up in the way of novel
experiences they are quite willing to do
without. One day they came home
with q big white rabbit, which they had
picked up somewhere among the neigh
bors. who are always giving such things
to them. They named the rabbit
Jimmy and mapped out n long cam
paign of fun they intended to have
with it.
MI. Field, however, has one of
the choicest libraries in Chicago. It
contains many very rare and costly
books, and, as the accumulation always
exceeds his shelf-room, he keeps the
books more or less scattered about on
tables and on the floor. The father
knew tho prediction of rabbits for
nibbling at books. especially a r books
% he told the boys they must not leave
1i4ny n tie house ct night.

resort, and this year more than ever
before, tents dotted the various streams
along the different trails up the noun

along the route was filled to overflow

lies who went INTO the mountains to
spend the heated term was that of MI.
G. w. Wilburgg, of Mount Tabor, who
had with him several friends. The last
two weeks were spent in the shadow of
Mount Hood. AS Is the custom with
most campers. each days program, be
it fishing or riding, was faithfully car
r'ed out. The mos exciting feature of
TIE program was that of climbing Mount
Hocd. The younger members of the
party started out to gain the summit.
The party consisted of three men and
six ladies. Crater Rock was reached
by five of the party, the others sue
cnnl'ing at different points along the
mountain side. The party reaching the
summit of Crater Rock did not get back
to the teams at the foot of the mountain
until 3 O'Clock at night, although the
ascent was begun at 10 o'clock in the
morning. When noses were counted
on arrival at the bottom of the noun
tain three were missing-Miss Sallie
Wilberg. Mrs. George Bonan, and Mrs.
Frank Morgan, of East Portland. They
were lost somewhere along the noun
tain- Without delay the remaining
ones We're driven lack to the camp,
leaving behind on the mountain two
young men, Garry and ketchum, to
build bontires and fire signal guns.
Volunteer help soon arrived from camps,
and by 10 o'clock, it is said, twenty men,
with lanterns, dogs, guns, and horses,
were securing every nook and creyice of
Mount Hood for the three lost ones.
Large signal fires were built at intervals
of every quarter of q mile about the
southeast and west base of the noun

to either q halloo or gunshot. Shortly
before midnight, away on the eastern
slope of the mountain, near White River
Canon, the three women were found,
perched upon a large stone, huddled
together, with IL long pole with an
iron pike at the end, which they had
used as IN alpenstock and as a weapon
of defense against the panthers and
wolves that infest the mountain side.
They were weeping with Joy when they
were found, and gladly recited their adj
venture of the night. They had taken
the wrong rayine ridge leading from off
the mountain, and had wandered off.
At various times they had heard screams
of the panther and wolf, but wisely kept
quiet. They were returned to camp by

SWIFT RIDING ON A LOcoMO1xvE.

SWIFT RIDING ON a LOCOMOTIVE.
We cannot tell from the time tables
how fast We travel. The schedule
times do not indicate the delays that
must be made up by spurts between
stations. The traveller who is curious
to know just how fast he is going, and
likes the stimulus of thinking that he is
in a little danger, may find amusement
in taking the time between mile posts
and when these are not to be seen, lie
al often get the speed very accurately
my counting the rails passed in a given
time. This may be done by listening
attentively at an open window or door.
The regular click of the wheels over
the rail joints can usually be singled
out from other noises and counted. The
number of rail-lengths passed in twenty
seconds is almost exactly the number
of miles passed in an hour.
But if one wants to get a lively sense
of what it means to rush through space
at so or 60 miles an hour, he must get
on a locomotive. Then only does he
begin to realize what triaes stand
between him and destruction. A
few weeks ago a lady sat an
hour in the cab of o loco
motive hauling a fast express train over
q mountain road. She saw the narrow
bright lines of the rails and the slender
points of the switches. She heard the
thunder of the bridges, and saw the
track shut in by rocky bluffs. and new
perils suddenly revealed as the engine
swept around sharp curves, The ex-
perience was to her magnificent, but
the sense of danger was almost appall-
ing. To have made her experience
complete, she should have taken one
engine ride in a dark and rainy night.
In a daylight ride on q locomotive,
We come to realize how slender is the
rail and how fragile its fastenings, COM
pared with the ponderous machine
which they carry. We see what q
trifing movement Of q switch makes
the difference between life and death.
We learn how short the look ahead
must often be, and how close danger
sits on either hand. But il is only on
q night ride that we learn how depend.
emit an engineer must be. after al, upon
the faithful vigilance Of others. The
headlight reveals a few yards Of glis-
tening rails. and the ghostly telegraph
poles and switch targets. We're .
switch open, . rail taken up, or . pile
of ties on the track, we could not posi-
bly, see the dangerto stop.-Scribney's.

UNCLE SAW .4ND ms 1V.aaDs.

The Sioux Indians, in spite of the
protests of that old m%alcontent. Sitting
Bull, have sold their land to the gov
eminent for the round sum of fourteen
cool millions. n. BIT is usual in re-
ferring to q million dollars to state that
it is cool, although what re~frigerates
that precise sum is not very clear. At
all events, the Indians are satisfied,
which justifes the remark that we are
dealing, in this instance, much more
fairly with tho Indians than is usually
the case. While it is generally con-
coded that the Indian undoubtedly has
his rights, il is a sad commentary on the
superior race that the Indian generally
gets very badly loft when be attempts
