The report that a sweet peace and love
pact had been arranged between Governor Hill
and Grover Cleveland, through the good offices
of Colonel Dan Lamont, is now denied. The
tiger and the elephant are sometimes brought
together in the panic of flight, but never in the
hour of victory.

The New York Forld suggests that the
best way to deal with the ghost-dancing Indians
is to give them bullets first if they don't stop
their lunacy, and talk afterward. But it all re
ports are true the dancing would not have
come to such a dangerous pass had the Indians
obtained their rations in the first place. Con-
gress might spend its time less profitably than
in an inquiry into the alleged buses which
have exasperated the Indians.

That she must be in love with you;
Don't hasten any pleasant words to utter
For that, you know. will never do.

By mistake into your open arms,
Bewildered by the crowd that crushes
When life on the pavement swarms.

For that, you know, will never do.

SNAP SHOTS IN SEASON,
TRUTH is often stranger than fiction, but
never as vulgar.

TRUTH is often stranger than fiction, but
never as vulgar.
CHILLY, isn't ltf Weather of this sort has
the right snap in it, for a fact. 1t forces us to
keep moving, don't it? Eyes sparkle, faces
glow, feet grow elastic when Jack Frost Is
making the ice in the cutters and
ponds and edging the swift rivers. No low
pressure when he's around. Mind and matter
seem to share alike the refreshing freshness,
especially after a depressing dampness. But
the chill winds cut into the faces and crawl
through the chinks. The warmly clad have to
snuggle Gown into their comfortable wraps and
hug their cheerful fires. But the thinly clad
well they just shiver. They dread the frost, to
be sure. 1t has better chance to get at
them than at the more fortunate. The rents in
their garments are larger, the chinks in their
houses wider, their fires lower, too. So when
the frosty winds whistle they dance. You of
the furs and the fire know this, of course;
but gentle reminder is not out of
place. In the rustic and hustle of life most
of us look at the white instead OF the black
side of the frost-at the light not the blight.
To many the snow means merry sport in the
moonlight; to many too, it means shiver in
silence. When you turn your gas higher or
pile on the Goals, think of your less fortunate
neighbors. Don't stop at sympathy, either. Back
the frost touch your heart When it nips your
gloved fingers remember that some bare hands
are exposed to it, Not many, thank heaven, in
this fruitful land, but surely some. II you
know one don't wait until the cry creeps
through the chill and disturbs your dreams.

THE FORT LARAMIE SPEECH.
How Fremont Dcfied the Indians Who
Impeded His Way.

Fremonts speech to the Indians at Fort
Laramie has often been spoken Of ss the turn
ing point in his career. In sense it was O
turning point since every resolution taken by
very brave man increases his capacity for in
dependent decision OF action, but at Fort Lara
mic there was probably no room for doubt in
Fremont's mind whatever, which Is scarcely
the case with man on the point of a supremacy
important step. 1t will be remembered shat
the first expedition set out In 1872 Lieut.. Free
mont having been married a little over six
months when he loft Washington to mako his
preparations for departure. On the 18th of
July the expedition reached Fort Laramie. The
outlook, II 1t proceeded. was one well calcu-
lated to alarm. The Sioux were in open
hostility and, united with the Cheyennes
and Gros ventres, were securing the upper
country in war parties OF great force. At the
time they were known to be directly in the
path of tho expedition. The voyagers were
in CONSERVATION. When Fremont coolly pre-
pared TO go on Carson coolly made his will.
The explorer was on the point of starting when
the chiefs assembled at the fort attempted to
detain Fremont OH the plea that their young
men on the war path would mistake him for an
enemy. Fremont answered by asking the elder
chiefs to accompany him and thus prevent
;bloodshed. They refused and almost with his
foot In the stirrup Fremont made them
speech which was Of the true Leatherstocking
ring:
then, have you killed 20 many this spring?
You say that you love the whites and are full
Of many expressions of friendship TO us, but
you are not willing to undergo the fatigue of
few days ride to save our lives. We do not
believe what you have said aud will not listen
to you. Whatever q chief among Us tells his
soldiers to do is done. We are the soldiers of
the great chief, your father. He has told US to
come here and see this country and all the In
dians, his children. Why should we not go?
Before We came we heard that you had killed
his people aud ceased to be his children. but
VIC came among you peaceably, holding out our
hands. Now We find that the stories We heard
are not lie: and that you are no longer his
away our bodies and will not turn
young men would kill us you did
not know that our hearts we're strong, and you
did not soc the rifles which my young men
carry in their hands, We are few and you are
many, and you may kill Us ell, but there will
b. much weeping in your villages, for many Of
your young men will stay behind and forget TO
return with your warriors from the mountains
Do you think that our great chief will let his
soldiers die and forget to cover their graves?
Before the SHOWS melt again his warriors will
sweep away your villages as the Ere does the
prairie in autumn. 9eei have pulled down
my white houses and my people arc ready
When the sun 10 ten PAGES higher we shall be

you will say IL soon."
Without waiting for reply he broke up the
conference and in few minutes was among

Faithful Jim took strong hold and was about
to drug it away from the water, when tho fish
gave another jump, causing the Siwash to slip,
and like fash the Ash and the man shot
through the hole into the river. Then there
was commotion in the depths that betokened
that gigantic struggle was in full swing, and
tho loiterers who had seen the accident felt
very anxious for Jims safety. for they knew he
