ST. PAUL MINI, Feb. 17.-Hon. Geo T.

White Earth Indians, be said: ''The suf-

1t seemsthat when the Indians signed
the Mile Lacs treaty they We're promised
a certain sum of ready money and relying
on this they failed 10 make the usual

The New Finger, PRAYER Book.

Henry Frowde, of Oxford university,
has designed a series of prayer books, the
novelty and merit of which consist alike
in their diminutive size and the beauty
Of their binding. 1t is difficult to believe
that book of nearly 200 pages will go
into the waistcoat pocket or into the purse,
but such is the delicacy of the workman.
ship and the conpactness Of the binding
that no difficulty will be found in such
method of carriage. The tiny volume,
bound in morocco and velvet, which Mr..
Frowde has called the Finger" prayer
book, weighs about three-quarters of an
ounce, is only one inch in breadth, three
and half inches in length and one-third
of an inch in thickness. To get go pages
and two morocco covers into the thick.
ness Of one-third of an inch is a marvel
of paper making and binding. One speci-
men is contrived to hang on the chat.-
laine; case is made of silver, consisting
of double cross, one for each of the vel
vet covers of the book, and this both adds
to the beauty Of the volume and serves to
keep 1t In compact form. A ring is
added, which serves for attachment to
chain. An edition is also issued without
the calendar and the occasional services,
thus reducing the thickness by third
and the weight to about half an ounce,

If an exposed electric wire should come

A Dog Goes to a San Francisco HospttaI
for Treatment.

The surgeons at the receiving
hospital have to deal with many
peculiar patients, but until yesterday
they had never been called upon to
minister to the needs of a member of
the canine family, says the San Fran
cisco Chronicle. An hour or so before
noon handsome setter dog came limp
ing up to the hospital door and asked
as we'll as any dog could be expected
to ask to have an injured foot attended
to. The request was made in piteous
whines, and the injured foot was held
up toward the stonished doctors in the
most supplicating manner.
Matron Karr was about to bid the
canine intruder begone, when DR.. Wolf
ipterfered and invited the strange
patient to enter. He accepted the in
vitation with alacrity and without a
moments hesitation, mounted the oper-
ating-table and stuck out the injured
foot in the same manner as before.
On examination it was found that
the poor animal had stepped on piece
of sharp glass, which still remained i'm
bedded in his foot. The surgeon hesi-
tated for moment, as though debat-
ing the question of administering an
anasthetic to the patient, and then sud-
denly seeming to make up his mind he
grasped the extended paw firmly but
gently, reached for a surgical instru-
ment, and in jiffy had drawn the
foreign substance from the foot. The
dog gave howl of pain as the glass
was drawn forth, but a moment later
began tapping the hands of the surgeon,
thanking him as plain as plain could
be for the services which he had just
rendered him.
DR.. Wolf then applied an ointment
to the wound, wrapped the foot in a
bandage and dismissed the patient, who
hobbled away on three feet, with many
bark of gratitude, and thankful wae
of his shaggy tail.

"ADKEsgvE COUNTER5.'
How TO Ireav a-v~reunearu

From an old New England scrap
book: When he comes to see you let
me give YOU a few hints as to your
treatment of him:
First of all. my dear, don't let him
get an idea that your one object in life
IS to oct all YOU can out of him.
Don't let him believe that you think
so lightly of yourself that whenever he
has an idle moment he can find you
ready and willing to listen to him.
Don't let him think that you are 60
inc out driving with him alone, even If
your mother should be lenient enough
to permit this.
Don't let him think that you are 60
ing to the dance or the frolic with him;
you are going with your brother, or
else you are going to make up party
which will all go together.
Don't let him spend his money on
you; when he goes away he may bring
you box of sweets, a book, or some
music; but don't make him feel that
you ex pect anything but courteous at
tention.
Don't let him call you by your first
name, at least not till you are engaged
to him, and then only when you are by
yourselves.
Don't let him put his arms around
you and kiss you; when he put the
pretty ring on your finger that meant
that you were to be his wife soon, he
gained a few rights, but not the one OF
indiscriminate caressing. When he
placed ii there he was right to put a
kiss on your lips-it was the seal oi
your love; but if you give your kisses
too freely they will prove of little
value A maiden fair is like beauti,
full, rich, purple plum; it hangs high
up on the tree and is looked at with
envy. He who would get it must work
for it, and all the trying should be OF
his side, so that when he gets it hi
appreciates it.

"Pshawi"
Il would give my life for a kiss from
your lips"
''Pshawm
Il will blow my brains out if you re-
fuse to listen to me-
"Pshawi" said she, bringing her
laughing face still closer to his so that
her tempting red lips fairly touched
his beard.
She wasn't bit afraid of him, you
see, but he, poor fellow, was still lit
tie afraid of her, and she drove him
almost crazy with her coquetry. At
last he lost all patience, and coming
upon her unexpectedly one evening he
said never a word but took her in his
arms and covered her face with kisses.
She struggled and screamed like a
captured bird, and as uselessly, for the
victorious lover paid no attention to
hair brow, cheeks and lips with the
concentrated passion of months OF de-
sire.
And as he grew bolder, and, drawing
her on his knee, kissed her white throat
and elasped her yet more passionately,
she became alarmed. She gave up

"Pshaw!" said he. He didn't say it
as prettily as she did, and he didn't
have such a saucy little face, but then
he was good deal stronger, and
Well, when he did release her there
were tears and some reproachful
glances, and then sweet little kiss of
forgiveness, given without the least
compulsion. She never said ''Pshaw!'

ALRLADY there are charges of mismanage-
ment against the Worlds Fair Commission.
The greater portion of the 81 $4,000 appropri-
ated by Congress for expenses has already been
expended, and the work of the Commission is
only just begun and its list of salaried employees
is constantly increasing. This is all wrong.
The million and half appropriated By Con-
gress should have been amply sufficient to have
paid every necessary expense incurred by the
National Government in connection with the
exposition with the exception of the erection OF
buildings; ard with proper management it
would have done so. but paying salaries and
fancy travelling expenses to every Tom, Dick
and Harry is not good management. and that
appears to be what the Commission has been
doing. 1t begins to look as though Uncle Sam
would have to interfere with these pic -nickers.

WHEN the republican majority in Congress is
finishing its work of appropriating the surplus

though it must be confessed that there is little
foundation for the hope. that one cent letter

the republican bosses are not anxious to do this
or anything else that will benefit the people at
large. but some of them may be shrewd enough
to see that it would be a popular way to spend

made an excuse in the eyes OF the masses for the
millions given and proposed to be given by
vicious class legislation.

OUR SILVER LEGISLATION

OUR SILVER LEGISLATION.
The spectators in silver who succeeded
in inducing congress to pass law for their
benefit have been very confident in their
assertions concerning the effect of the law.
Perhaps they are right and perhaps they
are not, but there are other views than
those held by them. The latest number of
the London Economist has careful review
of the silver legislation of this country
with reference to its probable effect upon
the permanent course of silver. The arti-
Gle points out to English readers the facts
that the actual increase of the currency
cannot be accurately estimated, and that,
considering, first, the previous imitation
under the old silver law; second, the is
sues of certificates of late years on dollars
coined in previous years, and third, the
withdrawal of the national bank notes, it
is quite probable that there will be no ex-
cess of currency over the addition made,
say since 1881. AS to the price of silver,
the Economist is convinced that the recent
price is, in part at least, the work of ma
nipulation, and that if it can be continued
for any time it must bring out new sup
plies that will tend to reaction. 1t also
points out that while the advance in the
price of silver stimulates exports to India
and other silver-using countries, it neces-
sarily tends, also, to check imports, and
thus gradually to reduce the stock of silver
in those countries. Ultimately it may
easily draw silver from India.
1t will take time to reveal the working
of the law. Meanwhile it behooves all in

NJ. s. Wood, She was at the residence of

with this beloved aunt. In the front of
the house the tall poplar tree has given
