SENATOR DANIEL says he considers the
broad constiu clion theory Of the Constitution
as established beyond controversy" Upon
the ground that the theory upon which the
government was instituted has been totally
changed, aud that States are now no more
to the federal government than counties are
to State governments, the Senator is right,
but hardly otherwise. But it is unques;ion-
ably true that the South can stand this sort
of thing as we'll as the North.

A TOUGH INDIAN.
What n Rcd Man Full of whisiey Went
Through.

To show what an Indian can stand,
when he has to. may tell of an incl
dent which happened during the VIM
ter was with them. Towards eve
ming. on very cold Winter day. when
II was showing just n little and drifting
great deal. an Indian came to the log
house with half jug full of whisky
and his rifle. i imagine that the jug
he started and by the tihe ho got to
the house he was in rather a jolly con-
dition. The jug and the rifle were
taken away from him and he was
ordered TO get to his wigwam as quick
as he could before darkness came on.
He left. and was supposed TO have
gone TO the camp. but early next morn
Ing his squaw appeared at the house
and said that he had not come home
that night, and as the night was very
cold she had been anxious about him.
Then the search for the lost Indian be-
gan. He was found In one of the sheds
near the barn, under heap of driftcd
snow, and the chances are that the
snow that was above him had helped TO
save his life. The searchers for tho
Indian had gone In different directions.
and IL was his own squaw who. with
true Indian instinct. had tracked him
out, and she was alone when she found
him. Apparently the Indian was
frozen corpse. She tumblcd him out
OF his snow bank and pulled off his
blankets, and dragged him down TO the
creek, where deep hole was cut In the
ice for the purpose Of watering the
cattle. Laying the Indian out on tho
snow she took the pan that was beside
the ice-holc and, filing it repeatedly.
dashed pailful after pailful of fee water
over the body Of the Indian. BY tho
time the other unsuccessful seaTchers
had returned she had her old man
thawcd out and seated by the fire wrap
ped up In blankets. There Is no
question that II he had been found by
the others and had been taken into the
house frozen as he was he would have

A CURIOSITY IN DIVORCES.

strumental In serving the bonds Of n
couple who. although they are now di-
vorced. are to-day the best friends in
the world. l was attorney for the lady,
and contrary TO the general rule in such
cases. she could not say too many kind
things of the husband she had discard
ed. They had simply agreed to dis
agree and live apart. The other day
received card reading: Mr.. and
Mrs. B. beg TO announce that they
are now happily separated. and will be
pleased 10 receive their friends at their
respective residences giving the
streets and numbers. There's a unique
case for you"
The dolleries OF this divorce business
are infinite. What pretty little romances
may be conjured up from the dainty
word-pictures drawn by the calloused
lawyer! For examples:
