A DEMOCRATIC MASCOT.
Governor-Elect Pattison, of Pennsylvania

GOvernOr-Elect PattisOn, of Pennsylvania.
Robert Emory Pattison, since his
second election to the Governorship of
Pennsylvania. is looked upon by his
friends in the Keystone State and
elsewhere as the possible Democratic
nominee for President in 1892. Gov
ernor Pattison's political career has
been remarkable one for so young a
man. At 81 years of age he was nom
inated by the Democrats for Con-
troller of the city of Philadelphia, and
was elected by 1000 majority. Two
years Liter he stood for a second term,
and was chosen by majority of $500,
although Garfield, at the same cleo
ton, carried the city by 10000 votes.
In 1882 the Democrats of Pennsyl-
vania, concluding that they had mas
cot in their midst, put him forward
for Governor, and he was elected
over General Beaver by a plu-
rality of 10000. Pattison became
Governor at 80 years, and was the
youngest Executive the State ever had.
In 1890 the Democrats again turned to
their mascot. aud named him a second
time for Governor. Again he de-
feated his Republican opponent in
one of the strongest Repub-
lican States in the Union. Governor
Pattison is bank President, but heis
not rich man. f4l;s salary is said to
be $4,000 year. BE lives IN his own

Porcupine's description of Christ's

Porcupine's description of Christ's
garb is rather homogeneous. Says he:
0He was dressed in white coat, with
stripes. The rest of his dress was a
white mans, except that he wore moe
casins."
By this time it was dark, and by the
light of the camp fires Christ began to
dance in the slow, rhythmic style of the
Indian. The others all Joined the dance,i
Christ singing as an accompaniment.
Late into the night they danced until
Christ told them they had danced
enough. Porcupine had plenty of OPP
portunity Of watching the savior. He
had heard that he had been crucified, so
looked carefully for the scars left by the
nails. There was one on his face and,
another on his wrist, but his feet were
not visible.
"He seemed to be the man., I" remarked
Porcupine.
Two days afterward Christ talked to-
them all day. He told them what he
wanted them to do, and explained what he
himself would do to aid them. He asked
them to remain at peace with the white
men. They must prepare for their
coming deliverance and spread the news
as far and as wide as possible.
The deliverance is to come about in
this wise: Some time during the COM
ing winter the messiah will come in all
his majesty With Him will come all

the description of the apostles he met
on his trip, points to Utah and the Nor
mons.
There seems to be little room for doubt
that the Mormons of Utah and Nevada
are at the Lotion of the new craze. In
many of it's features it resembles the
Mormon faith. 1t bears the ear-marks
of Mormonism all over it.
One of the cardinal doctrines of the
Mormon faith is d belief in revelation.
From time to time the apostles of the
Latter-Day Saints, as they call them
selves, see visions and have all sorts of
things revealed to them by God. So that
not onfy does the location of the new
messiah but the essential points in the
whole story point to the MormOnS as the
authors of the evil.
Among the Arapahoe Indians in Wy
oming it is supposed the meSsanic craze
was first started. They talked of it in
the fall of 1889, during visit of Porcu-
pine to ShoshOne Agency. The doctrine
was preached by an Indian called Sage,
who said he learned it while in the coun-
try to the southwest of the Shoshone
Agency during the summer.
This man Sage described where the
messiah was to be found, and intimated
that he had come on earth for the pur-
pose of restoring it to its rightful owners
the Indians; that he would wipe the
white men from the face of the earth,
and restore the country to the condition
in which it was three hundred years ago.
The Cheyenne chief, Porcupine, was
naturally interested by this. He and his
companions determined to go to see this
new Redeemer. He sent several Indians
up to the Indians on Tongue River, in
the northern part of Wyoming and the
southern part of Montana. to tell them
the good news. Then he and few COM
panions started of on long and peril
Gus journey.
1t must be remembered that Porcupine

Undoubted Hypnotisln.

Wilkins just tell you, there is
something in this hypnotism. It's a
true bill, and no mistake. You know
links? Well, that man is a hypnotizer
"a wonderful one. I stand aghast
when I think of that mans power.
Bilkins-I never heard of his hyp-
nothing any one.
WilIins-He has done it, though. He
has hypnotized his WIFE
Bilkins- do you know?
Wilkins-Easily enough. I was at
his house the other evening when they
had little dispute about something,
and she let him have the last word.

most stylish of the new midwinter

cloth, exquisitely fine and soft, ar
ranged in long soft folds. About the
edge is a three-inch band of sea otter.
In the back are long donkey ears of
velvet of golden brown, carrying out
the lighter color of the cloth crown,
intermixed with those of otter faced
with the velvet. Flat loops of velvet
are arranged to fall from this cluster
of trimmings on the hair.

pass over the whole crowd, burying
everything thirty feet deep beneath it.
The whole race of white men, with their
towns, their railroads, their ships and
munitions of war, will be eXterminated
by this burial.
The red men will be buried, too, but
will have a supernatural power given
them, by which they will climb out
through the stratum of earth. When
they arrive on the surface they will find
themselves purified. They will find
every trace of civilization and the hated
paleface wiped out.

ton OF bD0 UfedG-
ment of the Indians by their conquerors,
the white men, may shed some light upon
the primary cause for this threatened
uprising.
Brooding dissatisfaction over years OF
ill-treatment has caused the advent OF
this promised Redeemer to be treated
with Joy by the Indians. With the
westward march of civilization the Indi-
an has been crowded further and further
back. His boundless prairies have been
wantonly depleted of their game. The
buffalo is extinct The deer has retreat
ed to the forests. The Indians to-day
are prisoners. They are kept upon res
ervations limited in extent and limited
in their stock of game and fish.
No wonder, then, that the Indian has
come to the conclusion that Christ was
only for the white man. Having i'm
bibed the idea of a Messianic Savior,
it is no wonder that he seized upon the
idea Of red mans Christ with avidity,
adopted it. and worked himself up to a
religious frenzy at the hope that he
would at no remote date regain his free
dom, his pralries, his game, and his tribal
relations.
It is a mystery where this idea orig
mated. Sitting Bull, the great war
chief of the Dakota Sioux, is un0les-
tionably at the bottom of all the trouble.
But the idea of an Indian messiah is not
his own Neither is it that of Porcu-
pine, the cunning old chief of the Chey-
ennes, who claims to have talked with
the messiah and visited the "haDpy hunt
ing grounds. :"

THE SLEEPY PIGEON.
BY j. F. HOWARD.

BY j. f. HOWARD.
o, give me back the morn
Whose fields of yellow corn
Waved ia the autumn wind
Long ago.
Let me when it shall break
From sleep of health awake,
And seek the woodland haunts
That / know.
Across the meadow mown
Up from q stump or stone
A sleepy pigeon flies,
Wet with dew.
Like him we leave the glade,
And in the leafy shade
. Wait as the fairies wait,
Hid from view.
And see the rabbit when
He hobs from out the fen,
Alternate dropping ears,
Looking bland.
And hear in symphony
The divers notes agree,
AS birds of dawning wake
The matin song.
The owl on a dead tree
DepIores the melody,
And the returning light
In his eyes.
The pine its golden head
Bows in the sun SO red,
And thus the wood concludes
It's sacrifice.
