Takes Place In the Management OF Affairs
Mt Pine Ridge.
CHICAGO, Jan. 8 "A Pine Ridge S.
Oak, special says:
A much needed change has taken
place in the management Of affairs at
this agency. Capt Ewers, Of the Fifth
infantry, has taken hold, and hereafter
will exercise a general supervision over
the meeting. Roger will really have
nothing whatever to do with the man
agement. the position which he will oc-
cupy being merely clerical one. The
change gives satisfaction to everyone
and restores confidence among the resi-
dents here. The situation looks more
favorable for peaceful settlement
Nevor Intended War
Rumors from the hostile camps and
prominent chiefs from the Ogallalas,
who, with their people, have been forced
to remain at that place, have been into
the agency and have held a conference
with Gen. Miles. They all declare that
it never had been the intention Of the
Pine Ridge Sioux to take up arms
against the whites, and that such a step
was the last thing contemplated by
them.
Numerous small bands have kept slip
ping away from the hostile camp and
reporting at the agency, and soon there
will be none left at that camp but the
Brules, the Indians who first precipitat-
ed the trouble. Red Cloud and his band
will, in all probability, arrive at the
agency Thursday. Little Wound, one
of the best and most powerful of the
Pine Ridge Sioux, will also come in,
The court Of inquiry, which was to
have been convened Wednesday in the
Seventh regiment, did not meet, and it
is thought will not for some time to
come
Later reports are to the effect that all
the Sioux viii come in, Brules and all,
Gen. Miles expects to close the campaign
within the next few days

= Man with a Sharp Pen.

MAC-o-CHEE, o, Oct 13.-Colonel Dom
Piatt, whose name twenty-five years ago
was familiar ali over the United States,
has lived here quietly most Of the time for
years, devoting himself to agriculture and
literature. As the Washington CORE
spondent of Mr. Murat Halstead's Cincin-
natl Commercial Colonel Piatt was SO az
gressive and startling in his treatment of
men and measures that he attracted, with
his letters, a very wide attention. He
never cared whether his attitude was pop
ular or not-indeed, the singular prompt
ness with which he embraced the unpopu-
lar side led many of his contemporaries to
suspect that he chose his side on account
of its unpopularity.
Before the war he was secretary of lega-
ton in Paris, and for nearly year charge
d;atfaires during the illness of the minis
ter. He advocated Fremont's election. and
during the war was soldier, serving on
the staff of General Robert c. Schenck
For several years he was editor of the
Washington Capital, and in 1876 SO fierce
were his attacks on the party in power,
that he was indicted for conspiring to dis
turb the public peace. He soon afterward
sold The Capital and returned to Ohio
a few years ago he went to New York and
took charge of Belford's Magazine, which
he conducted until the firm which pub
l;shed it got into financial difficulties.
Though Colonel Pistt is very fierce in his
capacity as critic of public affairs, privately
and personally he is most gentle and low

Where sealskin Cap. Are Made.

The fur cap trade is centered in the
French quarter Sealskin caps are less
popular than they once were, but some
thousands of them are annually made in
this city They are made from portions of
skin too small to be used in the best
sacques. The trade is highly subdivided.
1t requires a knowledge of furs, and many
of those engaged in the business are for
eiguers Much of the trade is carried on
in comparatively small shops such as are
usual in the French quarter Often the

has the mental vigor of his prime. His
disposition is kindly, but he is stern in the
exercise of discipline. Although prominent
and influential for years in the councils of
the Republican party, he never held pub
lie Office until now, when by appointment
he is president of the board of review of
Cincinnati.
Mr.. Smith was born in Ireland in 1923.
He came to America in 1911 aud followed
the trade of carpenter at Cincinnati. He
had received fair education and became
acquainted with the employees of the old
Chronicle which afterward became the
Cincinnati Gazette. Through their in
tiuence and that of several business men he
was made superintendent of the Cincinnati
chamber of commerce, retaining that posi-
ton until 1855, when he resigned to devote
himself exclusively to journalism. His
merit and usefulness won him a small in
trest in The Gazette, which he added to IN
til at the consolidation of The Commercial
and Gazette he was the principal owner of
the latter, the chief editorial writer and
the shaper of its policy. After the consoli-
dation he was business manager until Mr..
Halstead went to New York, when he as
sumed general control, retaining that re-
sponsibility until the recent reorganization
enabled him to resume editorial work
Mr.. Smith is an effective Photographer,
and his long editorials are vigorous His
style is controlled b. the necessity he has
been under us busy man and contributor
to crowded columns of saying and writing
what he wanted to put before the public in
the briefest ineligible form. He has long
been one of the leading spirits of the Asso-
ciated Press.
Mr.. Smith has striking physique. His
head is large in proportion to his body.
When in thought his expression is stern,
almost severe, which has led to an unjust
conception of his character by those who
know him only by sight. His manners are
earnest and his perception quick, and he
has much OF the keen, nekdy wit Of his
native land.

Kind Words.

Many persons speak to children
habitually in rough way, without
realizing that they would not use the
same tone in addressing any others
over whom they had authority. y
lady who was on a visit to a family,
was in the nursery when a little girl
was preparing for bed.
Addressing her in a lively, cheerful
tone. she said, "Now let me see how
quickly you will hop out of your dress
into your night-gown," or something
like that.
The child turned to her usual care
taker and said, why don't you speak
that way instead Of, Come now get
your clothes off,"
They are not seldom provoked into
ill humor, and then punished.
Kind words do not cost much,
Though they do cost much, yet they
accomplish much.
They help ones own good-nature
and goodwill. Soft words soften our
own soul. Angry words are fuel to the
flame of wrath, and it blaze the more
iiercely.
Kind words make other people good-
natured. Cold words freeze people
and hot words scorch them, and sar-
castle words irritate them, and bitter
words make them bitter, and wrath
full words make them wrathtul.

Girls Who Make Poor Wives.

I never see petted, pampered girl
who is yielded to in every whim by;
servants and parents, that I do not
sigh with pity for the man who will
some day be her husband. It is the
worshiped daughter. who has been;
taught that her whims and wishes are;
supreme in household, who makes
marriage failure all her life. She
has had her way in things great and,
small and when she desired dresses
pleasure or journeys which were be-
yond the family purse, she carried the.
day with tears or sulks, or posing as,
martyr. The parents sacrificed and
suffered for her sake, hoping finally to-
see her we'll married. They carefully.
hide her faults from suitors who seek
her hand, and she is ever ready with
smiles and allurments to win the:
hearts of men, and the average man is;
as blind to the faults of pretty girl as
q newly-hatched bird is blind to the
worms upon the trees about him. He;
thinks her little pettish ways are mere
girlish moods but when she becomes
his wife and reveals her selfish and
cruel nature he is grieved and hurt to.
think fate has been so unkind to him.,

The Time Z Cheated.

julie and I wipe dishes three times
every day. Mamma washes them,
and we wipe. We DON'T like to do it
very we'll, Especially the big platter.
julie don't like to wipe that, m
neither do /. We must always take
turns wiping 1t, 'cept sometimes when
we forget whose turn it is. Then julie
wipes one side of the platter m / wipe
the other.
Jules my sister. She goes to school,
cause she's ten years old. Pm only
eight, M don't go yet. That's why
I have to wipe all the dishes noon. [
mean every noon 'cept Saturday m
Sunday.
julie don't have morc'n time to come
straight home from school m eat her
dinner M go right back again. So
she can't wipe any dishes m some
times there's lots IN lots of them to
do.
Well, one day, Miss Crafton-that's S
Jules teacher-told all the girls that
she had some picture cards that she
was going to give to the ones that
weren't late to school for i whole
month.
julie said Miss Grafton held up some
of the cards to show them IN they
were real pretty. They had flowers on
them in colors just like real II wrrS,
m julie said she WAS going to try ever
so hard to set one.
So every morning she'd start al $50,
so she'd be sure to be early enough, 'n'
nooGs she'd run both ways, 'n' for
three weeks she wasn't late once.
Well, one Thursday mamma'd been
baking. She always makes ever so
many dirty dishes when she cooks, IN
this time the sink was just heaping
full. Course I'd had to help her all
the forenoon, m my feet were awful
tired doing SO many erranhs, m | just
hated to think about the dishes.
did wish julie would stop M help
me. But she ran in just the same she
always does, 'n' sat down and ate her
dinner, M while she was eating
went into the sitting-loom.
Mamma had most washed the dish
es, but | didn't feel like wiping them
lust vet. Sometime | let my dishes
get stone cold before | wiped them, |
hate to do it SO.
Well, | went into the Sitting-room,
M there was our old clock. lisa big
one that reaches from the floor way
up high above my head. m father
winds it, But don't you think, he'd
forgotten tn wind it that morning, m
there it had stopped just fifteen min
utes past twelve!
And then | don't know what put it
in my head, but just made up my
mind I'd make julie help me anyway !;

The Aristocracy of Polynesia.

(Ein deutsches HrtegsschiG in der Sudsee.)
The Samoans are a handsome people,
the men large and stately, the women
graceful and delicately shaped and of
only medium size. 1t is, however,
not only these physical differences be-
tween the two sexes, whichicorrespond
to those of the Caucasians, that attract
our attention on coming from Tahiti
and the Society Islands; weare struck
also by the similarity of their moral
characteristic to those of our race. For
the men are generally endowed with
the virtues that we describe as many,
while the women are, i'm distinction
from their sisters on those Polynesian
islands that | have so far seen, gentle
ingratiating, and capable of sacrifice,
have soft voice, and may be regarded
rs dOmestically inclined. AS I have
been told, and what / believe myself
also to have noticed, the Samoans lay
fine manners and the proprieties in
their social intercourse, are eXtraordi-
narily hospitable, have an eye to
cleanliness as regards their bodies as
we'll as their dwellings, and may in a
certain sense be regarded as civilized
people. So also their language is rep
resented as purest and most highly de-
veloped Of the various Polynesian dia-
lects, wherefore the Samoans are des-
cribed as the aristocracy of Polynesia.
For these reasons many consider them,
moreover, as the aborigines among the
Polynesian peoples. The natives of
the Tonga and Feejee Islands freely
accord them their superior position.
"She is as beautiful as LADY of Mano-
no" is current expression among the
latter for the highest pefection of wo-
man, and the families of the chiefs on
both these island groups look for suit
able wives for their sons among the
daughters of noble Samoan families.
The Samoan women, and even the
young girls, manifest rare spirit of
independence. This undoubtedly to
he traced to the circumstance that the
severe morals which have become in
grained in the tissue and fibre of the
whole people protect woman against all
wrong at all times and in all places.
Thus it is to be explained that young
girls wander alone far into the country
that during the day they go where
they like, and that the shapely figures,
clad only in the little skirt lava-lava,
venture on the foreign men of war
without the slightest misgiving, re-
