Grandpa's Red-Blanketed Indian.

Grandpa's Red-Blanketed Indian.
Just to please Roy Glenn, one lone
ly, rainy day, when everybody had to
stay indoors, Grandpa Glenn put on
his blue uniform. Grandpa was a
soldier, once upon a time, and carried
q sword.
ooh, gran'pa, how fine you look!
You've seen ever an yer SO many
Indians" said Roy, standing away
from that sharp-edged sword.
ayes, Boy, grandpa saw red-blank-
eted Indian, ice upon a time" said
grandma. her eyes twinkling with mis-
chief.
"Now, Sarah" began grandpa, but
she kept straight on with her story,
which was this:
"When q little boy, grandpa lived
on the farm nearest us. The country
was new and there were Indians, not
fighting ones, in the woods. Our
mothers spun yarn for our stockings
and mittens, on q big wheel.
cone afternoon, grandpa, then q
little white-headed boy, came over to
our house to play with me. At >
o'clock he must return home, and |
was to 60 with him o short walk
drought the woods. We walked brisk
ly for a little way, when [ thought [
saw an Indian and was afraid to 60
on.
Grandpa said: "Little Miss 'Fraidy,
come on, I'll tell the Indian to just go
Off an let us BEL"
We walked on q little farther when
something red moved and nodded be-
side the narrow path just ahead Ofus.
[ screamed and grandpa laughed,
until the red something moved yet
more lively. Then he cried ont,
Mother, mother, save me-" and he
ran very fast back to our house, leav-
ing me alone in the woods.
Mother said that Tommy" now
grandpa, tumbled into the doorway
and could only say, Indians, get
Sarah"
Mother blew the horn for the men
working in the field, and they a to
ply rescue to find me laughing and sit
ting close beside the red-blanketed In
dian. A hickory bush, gay with red
leaves that swayed and nodded with
the wind. was the Indian that two
easily frightened littls folks saw.
Poor grandpa heard many Jokes
about his red-blanketed Indian that
he saw in Miller's woods: until he was
a big boy the people teased him about
it. He never dared to call me Miss
'Fraidy after that, as my brothers
said it was brave in me not to run I'M
til [ knew what | was running from.
Did you really think the hickory
bush an Indian, grandpa?" inquired
Roy.
Il felt sure of it, and ran back for
help for Miss 'Fraidy," said grandpa

What a Child'S kiSe Can Do.

In a prison there isnow q man whom
we will call Jim, and who is a prisoner
on life sentence. Up to last spring he
was regarded as q desperate danger
GUS man, ready for rebellion at any
hour. He planned q general outbreak,
and was "given away" by n OF the
eo~nspirators. He plotted q general
mutiny or rebellion, and was again be-
trayed. He then kept his own counsel
and while neverrefusing to obey orders

ed backing to make him refuse to-.
One day in June q party of strangers
cametOt the institution. One old
gentleman, the other ladies, and two
of the ladies had small children. The
guide took one of the children on his
arm, and the other walked until the
party began climbing stairs. Jim was
working near by, sulky and morose as
ever when the guide said to him:
Jim, won't you help this little girl
up stairs?"
The convict hesitated. a scowl on
his face, and the little girl held out her
hand and said:
eff you will, | guess I'll kiss you"
His scowl vanished in an instant,
and he lifted the child as tenderly as
a father. Halfway up the stairs she
kissed him. At the head of the stairs
she said:
"Now you've got to kiss me, too"
He bluShed like n woman. looked in
to her innocent face, and then kissed
her cheek. and before they reached the
foot OF the stairs again the mar had
tears in his eyes. Ever since that day
he has been Il changed man, and no

Why do not Women Help Women?
Why do women not leave money
Tor the benefit of Women's education?
Mrs. Foggg, who recently died in New
York and left 5000, 900 to charities
and educational institutions. is one of
a number Of women who have left
large estates to worthy objects within
The past fewmonths. But, like all the
rest Mrs. Fogg leaves all her money
observation-disclosures. Sheleft $780,
900 to Harvard College, and in Cam
bridge is the Harvard Annex, needing
This sum far morethan the university,
and able to do more good with it.
All the women's colleges are poor.
The schools which give secondary
education to women are poorer yet.
It is the hardest thing in education to
lind a school in which q girl can get
lust as good q fit for college as a boy.
This,is equally true of art schools for
women, of scholarships for post
graduate study, and of women's medi-
Ga lschools. They are all wofully poor,
Ear poorer than like schools for WON
Yet the rich women who give and
leave large sums are perpetually be-
slowing it on colleges, schools and in
stitutions for men. This is, we fear,
because such requests and gifts are
generally given under the advice of
men who are interested, and only in
tA'ested, in institutions for the educa-
ION of men, while women are as yet
but too little interested in the higher
education OF their own sex.-Philadel-

To THE EDITOR: number OF articles have
recently appeared in your paper concerning the
forgery of my name TO check for so on the
Puget Sound National bank, of this city. hv one
J. {. Dupree. In a late article Durree states
that this check was given 10 me by him in pay
ment OF & bill which he held for collection

have any money in the bank when gave him
the check, and that / had done the
same thing before" He further states that
he received this So check from me- and afound
that had Int $40 or deposit, but the matter
wss afterwards adjusted" I desire to stste
that all of said statements made BY Dnnree are
false, and made mp out of whole cloth The
facts of this matter in brief are: On Saturday
last one Joseph Schott came TO me at nv place
of business. and showed me check on the
Puget Sound National bank for s5n, PAYABLE 20
the order OF J. c. Dupree, stating that
Dupree had got some money on the

pronounced it a forgery. l was subsequently
requested to go TO the Office al John F Miller
prosecuting attorney, which did, and there re-
peated 10 Mr.. Miller that this check was a forg-
cry, snd was led 10 believe that said Dupree
would be prosecuted for forgery. ! have since
learned, however. that the information lodged
against him with Justice Won Tobcl has. for
some reason unknown 10 me. been dismissed:

The Contract for the New Pump
Submitted.
REPORT OF THE WATER OFFICE.
Mr.. Hebron Insists Upon Strict Com
pliance With Speeifications-Other
Routiae Business.

1t was past O'Clock before the board Of public
works got into session yesterday, long confer
ence icing FIST held in the room OF the city engi-
neer with Messrs. Lineen and Buehner of the
Holly Company. The specifications were care
fully compared with the proposition 10 be sub
United TO the council by the manufacturers
The resolution of the council approving the
agreement OF the city with the Holly Pump
Company was read, aud a draft of contract was
presented by the company. Il appears 10 en-
body al the conditions imposed By the house OF
delegates Except as to the price, il enboiies
the guarantee 20 submit 10 test 10 prove IN at
the cost Of coal should be at the rate OF one-haf
that OF the present engines. Mr.. Lineen said lie
had gone further than his promise and had in
cluGed further condition that unless the
pump responded 10 the test, the company would
reimburse the city any outlay ii might have
been put to in preparing for the erection Of the
pump
Major Rinehart called for the reading Of the
specifications
Ar. Lneen reminded the board that the speei-
cations only called for twenty-four hours test,
and he had offered 70 make it SIX days. The
margin was very small, and he did not think
the company ought to be asked 10 do without
interest while waiting for their money. He said
the city ought TO pay the cost Of construct
ing The foundations, which was no part of the
work Of an engineer.
Mr. Hebron insisted, however, that strict
compliance with the Specifications must be re-
CURED and Mr.. LINEN reluctantly aeauieseed,
az, he said, the city had been very arbitrary in
its dealings with him.
The ordinance and specifications will be
amined today by Major RinehArt and City
Engineer Gardner.
