The Waving Red Legs.


 Many hundred years ago, when the Sho- shone people was a great nation, our fath- CTS and their children, numerous as the spills upon the pines, lived in fine coun- try beyond the high mountains, where we now see the red sun throwing his gold ar rows over the walls of the morning. It was a noble land. I will show you the story of it upon the cliffs of the deep canon, where our fathers carved it. Great plains in that land, like the sheets of the white mans picture paper, unfolded right and left from the silvery threads of many rivers. Even slopes, longer and wider than the eye can shoot, drove the little fowery valleys up into the high hills of the morning and the evening; and the an telopes followed the little valleys, while the Cheap too much buppalo," like the shadow of the storm clouds, moved slow ly over the slopes, or wandered by the riv CTS in the shelter of the willows. It was very much good country for our people, because there was plenty to eat; and, O white mani plenty good to eat makes big heart.
 Not from the east there came, not from the west there came, not from the south there came, but from the north-the cruel north, where the wild winds vail through the trumpet of ice-there came a host of leng spears and long legs, and drove our fathers out of the beautiful land into the barren mountains-this high, dry and hor- rible land, where we, their poor children, now live on mice, bugs and wild seeds.
 There was not always full plenty in that fine place, because sometimes the Storm spirit, being angry, gathered the cold clouds into his belly, and then blew through the valleys and around the hills, till all the good game but the antelope ran away south, to the fire-hills, to get warm CT.
 Once, when the game had been blown away for many weeks, my oldest father did wonderful thing. He was a fool. All the men who do wonderful things are fools. Those who do nothing but com mon things are only common people. It | is fearful thing to be fool; so much is demanded of fools, and so little is credit ed to them, until after they are dead, by common Shoshones. But my first, fur | thest back father, was "a heap too much, | alle-r-time big fool" His name was | Bending Willow-"all same me-" my name is Bending Willow. ''White man call me alle-r time Pike" This father of mine was such fool that he did not be-

TOO ER EE-

It appears that the pope has been really asked by an association calling itself the "Archangel Raphael Society for the Pro- lection of Emigrants" to provide separate parishes and parochial schools for the Italians, Germans, Frenchmen, Poles. Hun garians, etc., resident in this country, to place these under the care of priests and Gas far as possible) bishops of their own race and language, and to order that in structions be given in that language. The scheme is crsdibly reported to have the backing of several European cardinals, of the Austro- Hungarian aristocracy, of lead ing German laymen, etc., etc. But there is one sensible Catholic who isn't backing it much. He is Archbishop John Ireland. He says:
 The bishops in America are in heart and soul Americans. They have no more idea of making the church Irish than they have of allowing it to be made German. The mass of our Catholics to-day have been born in America, and whether their fathers wore Irish or German they are Americans, and they resent with indignation any eff fort to class them into Irish or Germans, or any foreigners of any stripe. For the last five or six years there has beea 8 determined effort on the part of certain foreign-born Catholics in America, priests and laymen, to obtain the control of Catholic matters in America. Poles in the West, French Canadians in the East, Germans West and East, have been at work in this direction. This foreign movement in America is, it must be well understood, confined to a comparative few. The great mass of Ger man-speaking Catholics, laymen and priests, are totally opposed to all plans and intrigues to retain foreign ascendancy, and are most heartily in sympathy with everything that is American. As body there is no more loyal element than they in the population. The promoters of Ger man foreignism in America are certain journalists, whose trade is gone if the Ger man language loses it's hold, and certain priests who coming to America in ad- vanced years never learn much English, and scarcely know that there is in Amer ica country outside the German village or quarter surrounding their parsonages. The bishops of America are fully able to ward off all foreign invasions and to main tain the church on thorough American lines.
 This is healthy, patriotic talk. We have no doubt that the danger discussed is g real one. This country is too free. All who come here to profit by its advantages should be made to understand that they can't set up foreign governments here or fight the native language.

BANK DIRECTORS, BURDENS.

BANK DIRECTORS BURDENS.
 Bank directors who do not care about directing have reason for much encourage ment in the decision of the Supreme court of the United States to which we referred the other day. A part of that decision dwelt with the resignation of bank direc- tors. The National Banking act provides year and until their successors are re-elect- ed and have qualified" "We do not un- derstand," says the Supreme court, "that this prohibits resignations during the year." It then proceeds to consider in what manner the resignation may be made and when it takes effect. In this case the director has resigned orally to the presi- dent and sold his stock to him on Sep tember 24. The books of the bank showed the sale and transfer as of that date, but the certificate and power of attorney authorizing the transfer were not delivered until October 2, and there was some evidence that the entry in the transfer book was not made till November The court holds that the oral resignation was sufficient, and that it took effect on the day it was rendered and accepted and the stock sold. Consequently the liabili ties of the director ceased at that time. "The resignation" says the court, "was orally rendered to the president and mani festly accepted by him since tho sale of the stock was made at the same time, and the president informed the cashier of the fact a few days afterward, Putting a resigna- tion in writing is the more orderly and proper mode of procedure, but if the fact exists and is adequately proven the result is necessarily the same as if applied to this case"
 Thus a bank director need not direct any more than is convenient, and he can fix up resignation whenever directing becomes inconvenient.

I executed several orders for cars which were never paid for. Some were returned, some were not delivered, but they were all made, and the expense of their manufacture came out Of my pocket.

of the conversion of the Grand Duchess
Serge to the Greek Orthodox church, an
event which created dismay among con-
tinental royal families. Three royal ladies
became wives of Russian grand dukes with
the express stipulation Of retaining their
own faith-Princess Marie of Mecklen burg
Schwerin. now the Grand Duchess Vladi-
mir; Princess Elizabeth of Sake Altenburg.
wife of the Grand Duke Constantine Con-
stantinovitch, and Princess Elizabeth of
Hesse, the Grand Duchess Serge. Notwlth-
standing all Russian official denials, it is
plain, says London paper, that considera-
BILE pressure has been laid upon all three,
successfully in the case of the Grand
Duchess Serge, while another, Princess
Elizabeth, is reported to be wavering The
Grand Duchess Marie is not to be persuad-
ed. however, and hence the recent express
sion of the cars displeasure. If this
practice be persisted in, the reigning Euro

Gosh is still the very picture of health, and
is in the enjoyment of all his faculties.
The occasion was made particularly mem
orable by number of costly presents from

DR.. McCosh became president of the ia
nous college just one century after John
Witherspoon's Inauguration to the same
Office, and under his administration the
pages of its history were noteworthy and
splendid. The number of students doubled
under his regime, and a great work was
wrought in stamping out the semi-barba-
rous customs which made college life in the
olden times hard and disagreeable to stu
dents of a sensitive turn.
DR.. McCosh is the author of large num-
Der of philosophical works. Two of his
books on psychology are used as text books
in the University of Calcutta, and are well
and favorably known in Ceylon and Japan.
