and thus be painfully reminded of how
completely the sceptre of power has
passed away from him.
When Sitting Bull dies Gall will be the
unchallenged and interchangeable chief
tain of the Sioux Nation. His fame as
soldier has never been surpassed by any
Indian in North America. Whatever
glory attaches to the victory over Custer
belongs to him, for he led the Indians in
that fight His personal prowess and
bravery have been shown on many fields,
as his numerous scars attest But he is
more than fighter; he is general. His
ability to handle effectively large force
of Indians in the fields has been
acknowledged by competent military
authorities.
CT all the Indian chiefs Gall is about
the only one remaining whose dignity has
survived contact with civilization. He
has never made a surrender of it, At
the present time his interviews with In
dian agents, army officers or casual visi-
tors to the fort are conducted without
any abatement of that formality and
decorum that marked his earlier days.
Sitting Bull, ON the other hand, has often
sacrificed his dignity. What he could
not acquire as a diplomat he has tried to
gain as a mendicant.
When the Dawes Commission visited
Standing Rock Sitting Bull was rather
in favor OF signing the treaty on the
ground that 1t contained the best terms
that could be had. But Gall was unalter-
ably opposed TO it. Not only did he sue.
cessfully confront Sitting Bril- in the
Indian councils and break the force of his
appeals, but he afterward put some
pretty sharp questions, to Major Dawes
and the other Congressman, and practi-
cally convicted them Of falsehood to
their faces. 1t was through Calls opposi-
tlon that the Dawes Commission failed
to obtain the signature of three fourths
OF the male adult Sioux to the proposed
treaty, which was necessary to secure it's
acceptance.
Gall is man of unquestioned honesty.
His love for his people is sincere. Unlike
Sitting Bull, he has never masqueraded
as patriot to gain his own ends. He is
sincere in desiring that future genera
tions OF the Sioux Indians should be
placed in a position were they can com
pete on equal terms with the whites in
the peaceful struggle for the control Of
the territory they oscupy One Of his
stanchest friends is John Grass the
judge Of the petty Indian court that
holds its sessions for the trial of small
offences. and whose deerees are submitted

Bnhler Of the World.

It hae been computed that between 5000,
600 and 81 900, 900 of babies are born into the
world each year. And it will probably
startle good many persons TO find on the
authority Of a writer in the hospital that
could the infants Of a year be ranged in a
line in crndles seven deep they would 20
round the globe We have the ingenious com
clusion also that supposing the little ones 70
grow up and the sexes TO be about equal y
divided, we should have an army hundred
times as large as the forces Of the British
empire, with a wife in addition to every sol
der. The same writer looks at the matter
in still more picturesque light. He iinagines
the babies being carried past given point in
their mothers charge, one by one and the
procession being kept up continuously night
and day, until the last conner in the twelve
month has passed by.
A sufficiently liberal rate Of speed is al
lowed, but even with these babies in arms
going past twenty minute, the reviewing
officer would only have seen a sixth part Of
the infantine host file onward by the time he
had been year at his post. In other words
the babe that had to he carried when the
work began would be able to waddle onward
itself when a mere fraction of its comrades
had reached tho saluting post; and when the
years supply Of babies was tapering to a
close there would be a rear guard, not Of in
fants, but Of romping boys and girls They
would have passed, in fact, out Of the mater
nal arms into the hands of the school teacher.
Every moment Of nearly seven years would
be required to complete this grand parade Of
those little ones that in the course Of a
twelvemonth begin to play their part in the
first age of man. Leeds Mercury.

The Evolution Of Tan Men.

In a lecture delivered at the Royal institute
by Professor Flower on the "Pigmy Races of
Men, he referred to the curious fact that the
''taIlest and shortest races in Europe are re-
spectively the Norwegians and the Iapps,
living in almost the Same region In Africa,
also, the diminutive Bushmen and the tallest
race Of the country, the Kalirs, ars close
neghbors.r These facts indicate that climate
soil and other physical conditions have but
small influence on human stature, and suggest
the question whether it is due to social or
moral agency. The comparative history Of
the Lapps and Norwegians indicates that it
may be 50. The Vikings were always fight
ing race; the Lapps certainly are, and 50 far as
we know, always have been. an exceptionally
peaceful people, and the Esquimaux, with
whom they are so nearly connected, are the
same The I-apps live on the snowfields Of
Norway, and the Esquimaux on the hitterest
parts Of the arctic regions. just the places to
which the weakest would be driven by con
querers who have appropriated the moro fer
tile regions The consequent hardship and
semi-starvation would probably stunt the
growth Of the weaker people, while, on the
other hand, the conquering warlike race in
the days OF hand to hand fighting with out
siders, and struggling for chieftainship would
be continually killing Off the feeble, and null
tiplying the big men by the survival Of the
fittestn for such conditions of mutual murder

carpenter in the city is employed. Insurance
adjusters are settling losses promptly. No

SITTING BULLS DOWNFALL.
The Position He Once Occupied Now
Held by Chief Gan.

The Position He Once Occupied Now
Held by Chief Gar.
The New York Herald says: A few
weeks ago sensational stories were printed
throughout the country to the effect that
Sitting Bull was about to 90 on the war
path again. Now as he is dying every
body knows the stories to be false At
the very time they were being told BY
his enemies the once mighty Hunkpapa
was sitting in his little "shack" on the
shore of the Grand River by the corpse
of his eldest daughter, while the other
members of his family were stricken with
measles.
The old man is indeed ending his days
amid sorrow, disappointment and fail
ure. Once recognized as the greatest man
in the Sioux nation, he is now deposed
and treated with open contempt by the
powerful chiefs who were then his fol.
lowers and comrades
The bitter opposition of Gall and the
growing distrust among the young In
dians for medicine men generally have
done much to wreck his fortunes and
humble his pride To-day a message
from Sitting Bull would be re
ceived with derision by the Ogalalas
Outside of those gathered at the
/ Standing Rock Agency his influence with
the Sioux is practically nothing White
Ghost and Drifting Goose the principal
chiefs at the Crow Creek Agency, last
year openly snubbed their former leader
Nearly all Of the fighting men among the
Sioux have withdrawn their support
from him. Even in his own tribe-the
Hunkpapas-more than half its numbers
are followers Of Sitting Bulls rivals
Gall, Two Bears Big Head and the other
members Of the Sioux cabal that governs
the tribe at Standing Rock.
Once the leader, of the great host that
poured between the buttes at the Little
Big Horn and annihilated Custer and his
command, Sitting Bulls followers have
dwindled down to a petty band OF kins
men and clansmen, who meet in secret
and call themselves the Secret Eaters
Just what these words mean no on,
seems to know. They hold meetings os
tensibly to discuss matters that affec
the welfare Of the Sioux nation, bu
from which they rigidly exclude all per
sons not affiliated with them. II is
species of Indian Clan-na- Gael.
Many Indians laugh at it, but Sittin
Bull takes a very solemn view Of IT,
is about all that is left to remind him Q
his former greatness, for by its member
Sitting Bull is still regarded as tn
leader Of the Sioux-the king of tn
prairies.
Z Sitting Bull gave up bis paint and HI
blanket long time ago. He found tha
portions Of the Indian costume were nc
