The different forms to which pride
besets its victims afford an amusing
study. Girls who work in shops carry
school books or music roll to and
from their place of business so that
they may be mistaken for school girls,
though their hours are certainly not
those of the average pupil. Perhaps
they hope to be taken for special stu
1ents. The librarian of the Mercan-

think the name of the keeper in ques-
ton was Paine. He conquered the
English fleet with canoe, n rawhide
and crew of one Indian. 1t came
thus about:
The English had come ashore in
their boats and killed one of the cattle
in his charge. They wanted fresh beef
and they got it, Mr.. Paine did not
propose that his herds should be thus
ravaged with impunity. He armed
himself with rawhide. Next he
found an Indian. He impressed the
Indian with his rawhide and forced
him to paddle off to the Admiral's
ship. Mr.. Paine was hailed from the
ship and asked what he wanted. He
said he wanted TO come on board. He
was allowed TO come on board
He was then asked what he wanted

was he going to take it out with :?
With his rawhide!
The Admiral was informed that n
Yankee was on board threatening to
lick the fleet with ap armament of one
canoe, one Indian, and rawhide. The
Admiral was not alarmed. but he was
amused and interested. He came ON

The Admiral and Mr.. Paine con-

back down. He repeated his demand

Joke About Gen. Harvey.

The recent death of Gen. Harvey,
the oldest general in the United States
army, justifies the republication of the
following good story about the old
hero. 1t occurred at Camp Verde.
Texas, where Harvey was in command
of the post:
He was an intensely dignified officer,
and if there was one thing he detested
more than another it was undignified
haste. One evening, just as he was
about to hold dress parade, he per-
ceived that he had forgotten his hand
kerchief, and as the weather was very
hot, he said to his orderly: $50 to my
quarters quick and bring my handker-
chief" The orderly touched his cap
and started for the quarters, several
hundred yards distant. After he had
proceeded short distance, remember
ing that there was no time to lose, he
broke into trot.
"See that - scoundrel running as
If the Indians were after him. If there
is anything hate it is TO see a soldier
running instead of marching properly.
Here, my man." continued Harvey to
another soldier, go after that man and
tell him / say to walk, d-n him."
The second soldier started after the
first, but as the first one kept on run
ming, the second one saw his only
chance to deliver the message was to
hurry up, so he, too, broke into run.
To say that Harvey swore is to use but
mild expression.
"Here, Sergeant, go after that man
and tell him If he doesn't stop running
I'll hang him up by the thumbs"
The sergeant started out in a brisk
walk, but as his predecessor had good
start, he, too, began to run as hard as
he could
IF all three of the scoundrels amt
running like jack rabbits" ejacu-
lated Harvey. III show em." And
tucking his sword under his arm, he
started in pursuit as fast as he could
run, but suddenly remembering his
dignity he came to a halt and walked
stitly and slowly back to the place
where the dress parade was to come
off.-TeEds STtiHgS.

He Found his Nephew.

An elderly man with grayish beard
and an air of prosperity stood on the
platform of the Forty-second street
station of the Third avenue elevated, in
New York, Centennial morning, and
looked about him in a hopeless sort of
way. Finally he tackled a brown
eyed young man who stood close by in
this fashion:
Say, stranger, this here New York
is a mighty big town, L tell you. I've
heard tell about its sights and wonders
out in Illinois, where l come from, but
/ never thought it was anything - e
this. You see, this is my first visit.
Ny nephew was to meet me at the de-
pot, but my train got in late, and now
l don't know what to do"
The young man was visitor from
the City of Brotherly Love, and al
though he didn't know much about
New York, he concluded to ask the
elderly man who his nephew was.
well, was the reply, my nephew's
got to be quite politician, and / dare
say you've heard tell of him. His name
is Elkins."
What's his first name?" asked the
Philadelphia.
stephen b." was the answer.
"Wha-at! Stephen i. Elkins who
ran things for Blaine in Sap asked
the young man, with look of sur
prise.
That's him." exclaimed the old
man; wonder if you could take me to
him.
The Philadelphia, true to the ira
ditions of his native town, escorted the
man, who is, by the way, S. b. Elkins'
paternal uncle, and close on 20, to the
hotel where the millionaire capitalist
is staying. The meeting was joyful
one. as the non-arrival of the visitor
looked as if he had fallen into the
hands of the Philistines. The Phila-
delphian was treated like lord, and
then invited to a seat on the grand
stand just back of the President

Potatoes.

That the potato is the most popular
of''aH the vegetables cannot be denied.
for there are few homes in our own
country in which it does not form an
important part in each days fare. In
deed, in the majority of homes it makes
its appearance at each meal, either
boiled, baked, or in some of the many
dishes in which it is the principal part.
No matter in what way it is cooked it
is generally welcome. As TO its health
full properties authorities disagree, but
where any harm has resulted from the
use of potatoes it can usually be traced
to the cooking of them. A soggy,
watery potato Is one of the most un-
healthy things one can eat, yet this is
too often the kind that is generally put
on table. To be sure, the most inn
portant thing to consider is to have the
vegetable good, yet a good cook may
render a very poor potato palatable,
while bad cook can render good one
positively UNBEATABLE.
There are few ways of cooking po-
tato As acceptable to lover of this
vegetable as boiling, providing it is
done properly. 1t is mistake made
by many women to cut off the ends or
dig out the eyes. If a nice, mealy
boiled potato is wanted, it can never
be obtained if the skin is broken be-
fore boiling. Always choose as good
potatoes as can he had, and wash in
several waters until perfectly clean,
but do not cut in any part unless thel Q
is an appearance of rot, which ought
always be cut out. Have the potatoes
as near one size as possible, put in a
pot or saucepan, and cover them with
boiling water. Set on the stove and let
boil, but be careful that they do not
boil too fast, or they will break into
pieces before they are done. Before
setting on the stove, throw into the
water teaspoonful of salt. Keep the
pot covered, while boiling, until the
potatoes are done, which will be from
twenty minutes to half an hour, ac-
cording to their size. To tell when
they are done, try with fork, and if
the fork goes through the thickest part
of one easily, they are ready to be
taken from the stove, Remove the pot
from the stove and drain off all the
water, then set it on the back of the
stove with the cover partly off, so as to
let out the steam, and shake it once or
twice so the potatoes may dry equally
on all sides. Serve as soon as posi-
bic, and if the potatoes are not mealy,
the fault lies in themselves, and not in
the cooking. Never cover potatoes
tightly after draining, without first
letting out the steam, or they will be
sure to be soggy and watery, no matter
how good vegetable they were preyi-
Gus to boiling.
The above recipe is from an Irish
woman, consequently it is good, for no
matter how deficient she may be as to
the cooking of other articles of food,
she is always an expert at boiling po-
tatoes. -Boston Budget.

Chamberlain Oak letter in the
Omaha Bee: The Sioux Indians, as
looked at from the Eastern view, are a
race that is greatly abused by the
Government, but from the view taken
10y the Western people, who have had
chance to study their ways and
habits, the only good Indian is the
dead one. At the Lower Brule agency
there are about 200 Indians supported
in idleness by the Government, costing
annually $l50,000. The great reser-
walton contains "a, 000 600 acres of fine
farming and grazing lands, and an
area nearly as large as the State OF
New York, and five times as great as
Massachusetts,, inhabited by about 3d.
900 Indians, or about as many people
as live in two tenement blocks in New
York City. These lands are not used
at all by the Indians, as the Govern
ment furnishes them with provisions,
clothing, farm machinery (Which they
never use), cattle, horses, and harness,
and in fact almost everything. In the
way of clothing the Government fur
nishes fine wooden blankets which cost
about $3.50 apiece. As soon as the
noble red man gets his blanket he
crosses the river to Chamberlain and
sells it for from 70 cents to 81. The
same is also the fact with clothing, the
most of the farmers dressing in wau-
kapomna, which is the Sioux for Gov
eminent goods.
Mai. Anderson, the agent at Grow
Greek, is of the opinion that the In
dams will never become civilized as
long as the Government supports them.
He is decidedly in favor of the Indians
taking their land in severalty, and for
the Government to furnish each family
with complete farm outfit, then tell
them that they must support them
selves, and he thinks that when they
see that the Government means bust
ness the Indian question will be set
tied
The Indian buck scorns work and
thinks that only the squaws are made
to work A pretty good illustration of
this is told by one of the agency Off
Gals | give it as it was told to me.
Last winter, as / was on my way to
Brule Bottom, ran across team of
ponies lrIluS 10 pun IL luiBS luhlpeI
wagon up the hill, but it was too heavy
for them, and the buck that was driv-
ing ordered his two squaws out to help
the ponies, but still they could not
make it. asked him why he did not
get out, and all the answer / got was n
grunt. Finally, taking pity on the
squaws, who were almost frozen, l
added my muscle to that of the squaws
and ponies, and we finally got the
noble red man and his wagon to the
top of the hill"
Another pretty good story is told by
a contractor, who had the contract to
build $50, 600 worth of houses for the
Indians. The houses were all built,
but the Indians did move into them.
Instead, they moved their tepees or
tents next to the houses, and during
the winter they tore down and burned
up all the houses. This shows how
much the Indians appreciate what the
Government does for them. They
know that the Government will sup
port them, and as long as it does they
will be a shiftless, lazy, and uncivil-
lied race.
