Too Slow.

Indians have their own way ofwatch-
ing, and when serving with white sol
diers do not take kindly to sentry or
picket duty. An anecdote OF a Pawne
Indian picket on Powder River, report
ed in 'War-Path and Bivouac," illus
trates the red mans distaste for the
methods of the pale face.
One afternoon in March, Lieut..
Schwatka was ordered to make de
tail for picket duty, and as the Pawnee
scouts were doing nothing it was
thought expedient to give them turn.
A sergeant took half a dozen OF them
with the regular guard, and having
placed the picket post explained to
the Indian chief, as we'll as he could,
that he and his men would have two
hours on and four hours off duty until
the guard was relieved.
III lend you my watch,' said he to
the Pawnee, and striking a match he
pointed to the dial. It's now 6 O. clock.
When the shorter hand moves two
points, your first watch will be relieved.
DO you understand me?"
Hey, hey, good!" answered the In
dian, and stalked away on his rounds.
The sergeant. being fatigued, dropped
into a ttful sleep by the watch-tire OF
the main guard. Suddenly he was
aroused by the Pawnee's hand.
"What do you want?" asked the SER
geant.
"Iniun heap cold; much heap stiff, -
indicating the watch must lie. Long
finger the minute hand been all right.
Short iuger 1.-THE hour hand) much heap
tired"
The Laughing sergeant tried to show
the chief his mistake, for he had been
but a short time on guard. ::Ugh!'
was all the Disguised brave would say
and he would have nothing more to dc
with picket duty,

A Pathological Language.

Medical Record: A London physician
has patient who has defect in his speech
of most singular character. The patient,
a lad aged ten, and English by birth, is un-
able to speak his native language, but artic-
ulates a. jargon, which, cannot be under
stood. He was examined by many doctors,
none 81 whom could decide whether he
spoke the same thing twice in the same
way or not. The assistance Of the phono-
graph was called in, and the lad, in the
presence OF several gentlenen was asked to
speak the Lords prayer and the alphabet
When comparison was Instituted between
the various cylinders containing the record,
It was found that there was no variati on III
the spoken words, and that it was quite
possible for the language which the boy
speaks to be understood BY simply learning
the various sounds

r etOrtS to Lawyers,

Cassel's Saturday Journal: 1t has some
times happened that a lawyer has. in the
language of the street, '.given himself

this once when examining witness in the

what is that to be?'' said he
"Why sir" was the sly response, "as you
made your first speech at the Old Bailey, so
you will make your last there"
In like manner, arguing before jury OF
judges, an over-smart counsel stopped short
in his pleading. He was confident OF OBJ.

And to the establishment and chagrin of

the case and gave decided Judgment
against the too Sangulne counsel.
Even the cleverest lawyers have been
''set down" in open court by equally ready

Did You see this tree that has been men-
toned by the roadside?" an advocate in
quired.

The witness seemed puzzled by the new
word. He repeated his former assertion.

"Wnat is the difference between plain

But he was hoist with his own pctard.
The witness smoothly and innocently an

was directed against the character of the
witness. But it recoiled.

HorriDlo Appearance Of Woman sur

r q -
posed TO BE Afflicted With Leprosy.
DuRAND. Wis, Special, Feb IA case OF
leprosy has been reported to the state board
OF health. The patient afflicted with the
loathsome disease is an English woman
ABOUT sixty years Of age She is resident
OF the town OF Canton, and lust adjoining
fepln county. The local board of health
mas been discussing her case for the past
iour or five years. but nothing has been
done by that body, and so finally it has
been laid before the state board of health.
ana IL IS hoped by all people of this com
muh1ty that steps will be taken immedi-
ately TO stop its propagation. J.
Ihere has been considerable dispute
among the physicians here whether or not
IL was q true case OF leprosy, and so it will
PROBABLY DC necessary to have SPECIALISTS
examine the patient. The case is described
as having, horrible physique" The
Phalangeal and metatarsal bones of the
1eet nave literally fallen off by degrees, as
nave also the tissues and bones of the hands
and part of the face, presenting the appear
a an more OF the so-called live type OF the
disease.
The woman lives alone with small girl
as attendant, who is her grandchild She
IS very shy and does not permit strangers
to come near. Only near relatives can
scarcely see her Moreover, she is inclined
to resent any overtures on the part of Gu.
Ilous people, or any one who might wish
10 see her being somewhat of a violent dis
position. Her lower jaw is partly eaten
away, and she is conscious of her appear
ance' as she wears cloth or veil over her
1aG 1 and also over other diseased parts
Inc only point upon which the Giagno-
sis OF the disease is doubtful to some of the
local meclcal men, is the seeming non
contaglousness of the disease, although a
young lady died year and half Since
who was thought to be similarly afflicted.
ANOTHER matter under consideration in
this disease is the long period OF incuba-
ton, which may extend over period of
twenty-five years, according to eminent
authorities. Should this theory be correct
there is no telling of the number who may
develop the disease in the future, as the
woman has a number OF children who
have almost all attained their majority, and
consequently they have had more or less
association with the mother since she be-
came afflicted, which was about twenty
years ago.

The Chicago Police Think That Society
Caused Siennas' Murder.
CHICAGO, Feb. 3.-The stilletto murder
grows daily more sensational. To-day
Police Inspector Punt, after careful in
yestigation reached the conclusion that the
victim was decoyed into the woods at
Parkside by the tale that stolen property
was buried there and could be purchased
at a low figure. Arriving at previously
selected spot Sennas was told to dig at the
foot of scrub oak tree for the plant.
While on his knees digging, Vallone struck
him fearful blow in the neck with the
stiletto.
The dead man sent large, closely sealed
packages at regular intervals to Italy, and
this circumstance, together with the pecul-
lar facts Of the assassination, is taken as
tending to confirm suspicion that the
tragedy was the work OF the Malta.
