A Skating Princess.

A very pretty story is related of the
crown princess of Denmark. Prince
Waldemar and Princess Marie are good
skaters, and one afternoon when, after a
long run across the ice, they sat down to
rest, they noticed little boy who was
vainly trying to put his skates on. On
seeing the royal couple he took off his
hat and said: ''Oh, dear Princess Marie,
can you not help me to put my skates
on?' The royal lady smiled, knelt down
on the ice and firmly fastened the straps
round the boys ankles. Tran

oUININE ovERcoATs.

Few people have any idea of the
amount of quinine that is consumed in a
period of time or of that sold by single
dealer in the drug. Extravagant stories
have been told by individuals as to the
amount of the alcholoid which they
have consumed, and if it has not been
a quantity sufficient to put them in a
wooden overcoat it would probably,
converted into cash, provide comfort
able top coat for winter wear. This time
oft year overcoats are out of season,
ano he question uppermost is how to
keep cool and where. Rest and recrea-
ton come in that line. Thoughts of this
kind should lead one to inquire of any
agent of the Minneapolis & st. Louis
Ry. as to summer rates to tourists points
in all parts of the country, or for short
fishing excursions. Any special infor-
nation will be cheerfully furnished up
on application to G. M. Pratt, G. t. & P.

A Proposition to Enlist 1000 Indians

Secretary of War Proctor has submitted
to the Interior Department officials prOpo-

army. 1t is proposed to officer the regiment
with graduates from West Point, the subor.
dinate grades to be filled by pupils who have
been educated at the Eastern schools for In
dams. The details of the plan have not a.
yet been fully matured, but it is the opinion
of Secretary Proctor that the Indians can be
received into the regular army in a separate
regiment both to their own advantage and
that of the Government.

CONGO WHITE MEN.
The Population Has Increased Nine
fold Within the Past Few Years.

The Congo State in the heart of Africa
has just taken census of the white popula-
ton living in its territory. 1t finds that
40 white persons, including a few
women, are now living in the Free
State. The largest white population Is
at Bona, fifty miles up the river, where
al Europeans live At Banana, the mouth
II the river there are eighty eight whites.
MataGi, the point where the Congo Railroad
begins, will soon be second i'll white Popula-
ton, as the railroad enterprise Is beginning
to take a good many white men there.
Among the white residents l75 are Bel
gians, fortv-fve are English, and only eight
cen chiefly missionaries, are Americans.
When Stanley. eleven years ago, began his
work on the river there were only about nifty
white men there all on the lower river, while
now nearly hundred whites live at and
above LeopOldville on Stanley Pool.
