reduced to nothing but skin and bones,
and the hoofs grown long and rocker

for the first time in nine years he hob

by q low whinuy. The owner of this

$25 aud costs; and again the defendant
sought revenge by suing Mr.. Whitehead
for retaining the feet, and the judge
decided that the society should pay 500

now own the feet. Such cruelty is
shocking, aud such decisions are setting

In the summer of 1877, dusty, tired
looking party of horsemen, 40 In number,
were vending their way over the rolling
prairie land of western Nebraska. In the
lead and TO the rear rode detachment Of
Uncle Sans blue coated soldiers. COM
manded by bearded captain whose ex-
perience on the frontier had made his
name well known. In the midst, care
fully guarded, were half dozen Chey-
enne Indians, and following them came
ten citizens whose garb betokened them
TO be settlers of the plain, and whose
jaded horses showed that they had been
hard ridden.
The soldiers were jubilant over their
capture, the Indians We're stolidly indif-
ferent, while the plainsmen wore sullen
countenances which brooded no good for
the red prisoners. The Indians were a
portion of raiding party that two days
before had attacked outlying settlements
and massacred several entire families
The citizens were party that had been
formed 30 follow the Indians and avenge
their outrage, and that morning they
had surrounded their foe and were bent
on their humiliation, when the troopers
had suddenly come upon the scene, and
to the disgust of the settlers captured
the whole party, and thus robbed them of
their revenge
An hour later camp was selected by
the side of clear stream which coursed
over white sandy bottom. One of the
citizens who had not dismounted rode up
to the group Of Indians and addressed q
wrinkled buck whose hard countenance
clearly bespoke his bloodthirsty nature.
Whats that ON your shirt, InjunS" he
asked.
The Indian, seeing he was attracting
notice, proudly Strengthened himself.
Fastened 10 the REDSKINS much befringed
and beaded deer sin shirt were three
scalps, all from the fair heads of little
children, and one of them a yellow curl
of baby. Quick as thought the white
mans pistol came from the holster on his
saddle, and--crackl The redslxin fell for
ward with bullet between his eyes.
In another moment the avenged settler
was speeding across the prairie and the
commanding officer had ordered a detail
of his men to canture him. As they
mounted and started in pursuit one of the
plainsmen said:
Captain, that hair tied to that ar In
jun belonged to his little uns' heads.

An American physician, eminent as
specialist in nervous diseases, has said
that certain kind of insanity is fire.
quently preceded by what may be called
q mania of the sense Of smell.
The patient is tormented by certain
imaginary odors, generally of foul and
offensive character. One man detected
the scent of decaying bananas wherever
he went; another was haunted by the
odor of the smallpox ward of hospital
in which he had been physician. A
rose, the salt sea air, the most dainty and
pure things all gave out to his diseased
nerves only this sickly, poisonous odor.
The victims Of this peculiar hallucina.
tion can not be convinced that the OF.
fensive odor does not exist.
They insist that it is there, but that the
perceptive faculties of other men and
women are too blunt to detect il.
There is another hallucination very
like to this, and much more common and
better known. II is that of certain well
meaning people who have a sleuth hound
scent for detecting bad motives and pur-
poses in every human being whom they
meet.
If their friend is gay and talkative, he
is. in their opinion, shallow and frothy;
If he is reticent, he Is grim and morose.
If he is cold in his manner, he is ungrate-
full, while if he processes friendship to
them, he is false and tricky.
In the least action they find some sin
lister motive; the most honorable man Ii,
TO their keen sense, rogue; the best
woman is deceitful and not to be trusted.
Unfortunately, too, this diseased moral
sense is contagious. One suspicious, un-
charitable man or woman will taint a
whole school or family, or even a church,
with evil doubts.
Lunatics of the first class are much to
be pitied; but surely it is better to go
through life haunted by the smell of de-
caying bananas than by the imaginary
presence of vice in the innocent people
around us.
