How boys Tried to Get RIA OF ThCIr
Leather TrouscrS.
A hundred years ago or more it was
customary in somo parts of Now En-
gland for men and boys to wear trousers
nadc OF leather. says the Youths Com
panion Tho historian of the town Of
Wells, Me-, remarks that such garments
were not altogether satisfactory. for the
rather curious reason that they lasted
too long
We remember hearing q matron of the
oldcn times tell o story of tho TWO boys
of one Of their ncighbors. They had
begged Of their mother that they inighr
lay aside thor leather trousers and have
q pair made Of domestic cloth; but oil
their %cntroatios were in vain. She
would give them no other encourage
mert than to promise that when the
leather was worn out they should have
. pair OF homcspun.
They endured for q long timc the vcx-
alton of the u%nyiclding garments, which
promised to be as lasting as the raiment
OF tho Israclites in tho wilderness.
Finally all hope failed tho boys and
their wits came to their aid. They took
FE:tol the grindstone. One sat upon 1t
while,the other turned the crank. In
imagination they saw themselves already
clothed in the long-desircd homespun.
But, alas! their hopes werc suddenly
blasted. All st once their fsthor came
round the corner Ut the barn and discov
cred them thus employed. They had
still to wear the loather-for how much
longer the historian is unable to say.

AN EFFECTIVE SPEECH.
How Old Wolf Illustrated His Remarks
with Grcut Eject.
In talking last evening about Indians
and their native %cloqucncc, Mr.. Fair
field said to a Seattle (vvash.) Press re-
porter that he SAW Old Wolf, the Chcy-
cnnc chief, make an effective spcns.h
with a lead pencil during o visit by
Bishop Trundcl at Ashland, Mont. Old
Wolf took the pencil and drew q straight
line and said:
''Cheycnnes straight"
Then he drew another straight line
and said:
''I;lack robe straight" meaning tho
Indian had nothing to say against tho
Catholic missionaries.
Then a third straight line was drawn
and Old Wolf said:
white House straight" by this he
did not mean the Executive mansion,
but the li.tlc white school conducted by
tho Sisters Of Charity, which was known
far and near among the Indians as the
white House,.
Next a straight line was drawn part
way across tho page, and from emo end
he made q number OF very crooked lines.
SO that the diagram looked like q cat o.
nine tails. This was explained by the
chief as:
washington straight, but all things
coming from Washington very crooked"
Then a line was drawn straight part
of the way. then crooked, then straight,
and so on across the page.
''Indian agent straight, crooked.
straight. crooked, straight, crookcd.''
was tho laconic explanation.
Grow fly round, ronnd. round,' was
the sarcastic way he illustrated thcc!ias-

climax of this speech vas reached when
Old Wolf drew across the paper n very

fest contcmrt:
