Joking an Indian,

1t is dangerous To joke with an In.
alan. His sense OF humor is so dull
that he may think himself insulted,
when he is merely made the butt of a
bad Joke. Mr.. Alexander was a decay
ed Scotchman, who, having strayed
into Fort Carlton, served the Hudson
Bay Company as q clerk, at one hun
'lred and twenty dollars q year and
his food Life was very dull at the
Post, but one day "White Cloud, "the
Sioux chief, arrived here with seveM-
teen warriors. The chief, an Indian
Apollo, stood over six feet in his moe
rasinS, and was proud OF his courage
and strength.
One day White Cloud was In Alex
ander's room, who, thinking with
Julius Hare that "thc next best thing
to Il very goCd joke is a very bad joke"
put on q pair of boxing-gloves, aud
told the Indian that with these the
white men learned to fight Showing
another pair, he asked White Cloud if
BIT would like to pat them on. The In
dian, not knowing what would hap
prn-tOr Indians never hit with the
hands, aud consider a blow from the
fist Il gross insult-said he would,
Alexander first took away the chiefs
knife and pistol and locked them up,
Then putting the Indian in the middle
ii the room, he showed him how to
stand on his guard. With one blow
Alexander knocked the chief down
lie rose, rushed at the clerk, and was
again Knocked down.
Tho maddened Indian tore off his
gloves, and tried to get his knife from
the drawer, but the drawer was locked,
and he claimed down and demanded
to be let out.
"What will you do when outside2"
asked Alexander.
Attack the fort and kill every man
in it, said the chief.
Alexander, seeing what his foolish
Joke had done, resorted to a desper-
ate measure. He took his revolver
from drawer, and told the chiefthat
unless he promised to give up his pur-
pose and make friends, he would shoot
him on the spot. For a minute or
two White Cloud was obstinate; but
Alexander produced two bottles OF
WhiSkey and promised him these.
Then the chief shook hands,
and receiving his knife and pistol, left
the room, carrying the present for
which an Indian will do almost any
thing. He kept his word, though he
never again treated Alexander as a
trlend.-GOuth' 5 Companion.

SENATE
The principal thing done by the senate
yesterday was to defeat Senator Donnelly's
bill submitting to a vote Of the people
constitutional amendment relating to rail
roads and warehouses. The ii yht in favor
Of the bill was waged by Senator Donnelly
after his usual methods. He argued and
pleaded and threatened in turn. But his
efforts were without avail. for when the
final vote was taken the measure only re-
ceived 10 votes in its favor while there
were 90 against it. with six absentees. Sen
ator Tawney led the opposition to the bill,
and he was ably seconded by Senators
Mayo and Leavitt.
A bill introduced by Senator Dedon ca II
for an appropriation of $4,000 to remodel
the Minneapolis Exposition building and
fit it Tor Use as a capitol building, and pro-
vides that the state offices shall be removed
to that building as soon as it is ready for
occupancy.
Senator Guderian presented measure
which authorizes the city of Anoka to issue
bonds Tor the purpose of building steam
or electric motor line between that city and
Minneapolis

questing the speaker to appoint five dele

SHE WON HER CASE.
An Independent IsrIiGet Who Suod xol
Breach OF Promise.

An Independent BrIiEet Who Suod foi
Breach OF Promise.
There was queer, shrewd Irish girl,
who was engaged to q certain wcll-to-do
youth, says the Boston Transcript. His
father had thriftily got somo property
together, which the son would inherit.
The youth know very little; he had lost
one eye, and, as Bridget said of him, he
was emphatically mot much to look at"
but his ''expictash'ns'' madc him at
tractive. Presently Bridget was in great
distress. She came to her employer,
who happened to be q lawyer,ln a raging
state of mind. The young man had
Tilted her, and she was going to sue him
for breach of promise!
Her account Of the matter was a curl
Gus mixture of humor, Indignation, and
craftiness. She would sue him for dam
ages, but 1t was plain that her object
was to force him to marry her. Sure"
said she, 'an' why mightn't have the
money as we'll a. tho sisters and coosins
af him?" "Would you marry him now?"
asked her employer. "Sure, an that
wud! Amt he as noice little spalpeen
as yed secn in a days runnin'?"
The employer tried to ascertain
whether the boy had any pretcxt for
jiltlng her. What had she done to Of
fend him? Bridget lowered her voico
confidentially. 81 think she said, "that
it's all about bit of conversation that
wehad. 'Suro, now, Bridget said he to
mo one noight, as we sat in the kitchen,
'wud yc marry me If l had no money?
What do ye take me for?' says l. Sure
and l wuddent then. There's nobody
wud marry the likes o. ye but for the
money ye have!' An wild that, sorr, he
riz up sudden like an he wint sway.
Twas the thrut' told i'm, but sure he's
foine little lad, sorr, an Id marry him
the day, I'm that fond of him-wid the
money! &c.,. --..
Her lawyer was convinced that Bridget
had good case, and advised her to
bring suit. She did so, AMI her exami-
nation in court was sceno long to be
remembered. With ono breath she
scorched the defendant and with the
next She praised and cajolcd him.
"Sure, he's not q beauty" she ad-
mitted to tho court, "ho's only tho ono
eye, but it's awful becomin' to him, yer
amer"
Bridget won her case; tho youth, re-
lenting before such tact, changed his
character Of defendant for that of BRIDE
groom, and all the ''sistors and COUSINS
came to the wedding.
