This was the arrival of several canal

end the one who hit it had the money
whatever it was. The boys ran and
brought back the arrows; and they
were so proud to do this that / wonder
they lived through it. My boy was
too bashful to bring the Indians their
arrows; he could only stand apart and
long to approach the filthy savages,
whom he revered; to have touched the
border of one OF their blankets would
have been too much. Some of them
were rather handsome. and two or
three of the Indian boys were so pretty
that the Boys Town boys said they
were girls. They were of all ages,
from old, withered men to children of
six or seven, but they were all alike
grave and unsmiing; the old men
were not whit more dignfied than
the children, and the children did not
enter into their sport with more zeal
and ardor than the wrinkled sages who
shared il.
After the red men had fitted away
like red leaves their memory remained
with the boys, and a plague of bows
and arrows ragged among them, and it
was a good while before they Gained

She will rail for twenty-five years
against the barbarous fashion of bor-
ing the ears; and then she will punch
holes in her ear-lobes with n darning-
needle if there is ghost of n chance
of getting n pair of diamond earrings.
She will take two hours to dress, and
run back into the house three times. if
she is going over to Minnie's to spend
the afternoon: and the next day, when
she has sudden chance to 20 to San
Francisco, she will pack tooth brush
and her purse in her pocket, button
her cloak and gloves on the street-car,
and be ut the station three-quarters of
an hour ahead of the train.
She spills coffee on the clean table,
cloth and smiles sweetly-when there
is company-and then she glares like q
healthy demon if William Henry lays
the carving-knife on tho table when
they are alone.
She carefully mends rent quarter
of an inch long in her gloves and goes
for days with 4 tear two feet long in
her petticoat.
She will put seal-skin buttons on a
plush coat and expects the whole world
to believe that it is real fur.
She can hold forty-seven pins in her
mouth and give an orderto the grocery
boy that viii fill the market basket and
the milk pail.
She laughs because the Smith girls
wear old-fashioned bonnots, and cries
because she knows some poor boy who
can not afford Il winter overceat.
She will arrange silk scarf over II

bulge out with admiration, but she
can't tie plain ordinary necktie to
save her life.
She will walk up street in the rain
to save Il street-car fare, and then she
will give a quarter of a dollar to the
first beggar she meets.
She will go over every carpet in the
house with damp cloth and brush,
and then 20 downtown with black
spot on her nose.
She will give good course of lee
lures upon the history. general appear
ance, and people of the Roman empire,
and then she would get lost if she
tried to 90 from Buffalo to Attica with

She will read an essay on our in
human treatment of the red man, and
then she locks the door if she sees "A

Topography in Africa.

That the conduct of n cable station
is not always monotonous and proSaic

from an officer of the West Africa
Telegraph Company. This gentleman
is in charge of the Kotonou station in

Dahomey. The king it seems had for
some time been spelling for fight,
and had at last become SO ugly and
aggressive that it was deemed advisa-
BILE to arm the station and have some
soldiers handy. Early one morning
the station was surrounded by natives" "

were under the painful necessity OF

ONLY A LITTLE RIM OF STEEL.
AL That There Is Between u Railroad
Passenger md Eternity.

Il tell YOU what it is" remarked an
old railroad man, lit used to he that
they couldn't turn wheel any too fast
for me. but It's different now. The
way these fellows run nowadays makes
my hair stand on end. We used to
think that twenty-five or thirty miles
an hour was high running. People
were just as well satisfied, if not more
SO, than now. and there weren't so
many accidents. Those days when a
man got on the ground there was some
chance of his getting away alive, but
when you touch ground on one of these
fast runs now you're mighty liable to
stay there. People are getting to look
upon mile us II common thing, and
are just bowling mad ut road that
doesn't make it. They never stop to
think of the danger. All they think
about is getting to their destination.
why, when stop and think of be-
ing whirled across the country fifty
or sixty miles an hour, down hills and
around curves. with only an inch and
half of iron between me and eternity,
| yet so scared swear never to get on
coach again. What do | mean 10y an
inch and n half of iron? Well. you
know what passenger coach is, don t
youP You know how they're built. A
coach is pretty sold thing nowadays.
and to look at one a person would
think they were pretty safe, but that's
because you don't know anything
about it. The coach itself is all right
so far as it goes, but it's the wheels.
Did you ever look at the wheels? If
you did you may have noticed how
they're made. A good size, broad
enough and heavy enough, and with n
tire Of the finest kind Of steel. But.
on the inside of the tire, you see IL sort
Of rim or tlange. That ilange is about
an inch and half thick and about he
same depth. 1t doesn't look as ii 1t
amounted TO much, that little piece Of
steel, but that's what the lives of ali the
passengers depend upon. That fange
keeps the wheel to the rail and keeps
the coach from running off the track.
We'll, now. when Il train is going
fifty miles an hour around II curve you
see how much depends on that ilange.
The whole weight and speed of the
train is against that tlange on one side,
the outside of the curve, and it is all
that keeps the coach from whirling
from the track. Suppose the hange
broke, or rs is often the case, was
worn down and had been missed by
the car inspector. The chances are
ten 10 one that the tlange couldn't
hold. but would climb the rail and
there'd be another accident. The re-
porters would he told the rails spread
or something of that kind. and no one
but the company would know what
caused the accident.
There are a good many accidents
that happen that way, but it doesn't
appear to be any of the publie's bust
ness. As general rule coach wheel
is watched mighty closely. and the
minute Hange begins to wear new
ones are put on, but many a time an
inspector will miss "a wheel and then
the chances are big that thcre'll be an
accident. Kansds city Star.

THE Indian problem in the west Is
settling itself by the rapid decrease in
numbers Of the red men. The vices
OF civilization are not the only reason
for this decrease. 1t is no longer
possible TO live by hunting and only
those Indians who take kindly to agri-
culture and other work can live under
the new conditions. 1t is as true now
as when the apostle wrote it 1900
years ago, that he who will not work
shall not eat In some places Indians
have become good farmers ana busi-
ness men. and are accommodating
wealth. These will in time become

IN engineer has outlined plan for

tain all the modern improvements that
have been tested and several more that
are as yet untried. 1t is to be limited
entirely to passenger traffic, and the
tracks will be elevated the entire dis
tance. 1t will be built as nearly
straight as possible and there will be
no perceptible grading. Electricity
will furnish the motive power for pro-
polling the cars, and it is proposed to
