from time to time.
N Cccolo was taken 10 this storc,
which, when he arrived, was partly used
for Christmas goods. Il must have been
a singular sensation TO the boy TO be set
down among 30 many toys. Tho people
In Africa go wild about n few trinkets.
So great is this passion that explorers
take with them Immense coils Of brass
wire, which they give 70 the natives TO
make ornaments OF. Ono may imagine
that nm African boy, 0 years old, placed
in a Christmas store, would almost burst
with pleasurable though avaricious emo
tions.
The youngster took position In tho
back OF the store, where he at once be-
cinlly 10 children. Some Of them thought
he wouldn't understand their remarks,
but party Of boys and girls who were
criticising him one day were surprised
to hear him say:

turn TO Africa next summer, and will

Steckelman's bookkeepcr. He Is dressed
In white mans clothes, which he takes

has lived in tropical Africa with no

tho youngster got TO living in houses
heated by modern improved processes
and TO wearing good clothes, he caught

There Is in Indiana diminutive speci-

N Cocolo's older brother Is heir apparent.
And how did the little prince find his
way to Indiana? He was brought over

is engaged in the trading business on the

Tanning BY Electricity.

You might as well try to fatten pigs by

five or six months. Some. time ago a

it would take me to tan a goat skin and
make pair of boots. told him it could
be done in twelve hours. He bet me
$106 it couldn't be done. That night l

Fort Davenport was twelve-company
post, and was garrisoned by ten troops of
the Thirty third Cavalry and two CON-
panies of the Seventy first Infantry. The
quarters were well built and spacious.
The enterprising trader had fitted up two
apartments with billiard and cardtables,
which he called respectively the officers
club room and the mems room. 1t was
in the aforementioned of these apart
ments that Bill Cody made his now some
what famous reply to Captain Of the
Fifty fifth. It was soon after the en-
gagement at Thin Knobs, where Cody
had availed himself of the opportunity to
scalp an Indian. Several officers were
conversing in the room together, when
one expressed it as his opinion that Cody
ought not to scalp. He said: at is all
right enough for the Indians to scalp;
they know no better. But Cody ought
to be above such things"
The scout who was being criticised
was standing in the doorway, and though
he could not be seen by the inmates of
the room, yet he heard every word that
was said. As the speaker concluded,
Cody walked into the room. He certain
ly was picture. His tall, 1.-the, muscu-
lar figure was set off by gorgeous suit
of black velvet trimmed with gold braid.
His long golden hair hung below his
shoulders. In a belt at his waist two

were of almost one sold mass of beard

Well, he strobe into the room and said
