A Stern Rebuke from the Bench.

at surprises me to see a young man,
like you here" said Texas Judge to a
fellow who had been brought before
the police court for being drunk and
disorderly the night before. "You
filed yourself with an enemy that COM
mitted petit larceny on your brains"
Very sorry, Judge"
NOV, here you are," continued the
Court, in severe tones, "a young man
of intelligence, with good clothes on,
barring a grease spot on the elbow
where you rested it in the lunch table,

and sisters who think good deal more
of you than I do"
"Family's all ri-right," whimpered
the culprit.
you've been sent to school and
taught how to earn good living. In
return for all this you go whooping
around the streets at midnight, tearing
down signs and making an ass of your
self generally. is that like the con-
duct of a reasonable creature?"
mo, Judge, it is not"
"Of course it amt. Now I'm going
to teach you lesson, young man, and
you Will thank me for it some day.
You needn't turn pale and whimper
that won't do you any good. Have you
got any chewing tobacco about you?"
Here's a bit of navy plug, your
Honor"
"Thank you. Take my advice chew
more and drink less, as I do. You're
discharged"

Manners of Men.

A mans extremity should be his
friends opportunity, but it is more often
his enemy's.
Every mean thing a man does on
earth puts another stick on the fire
that is waiting for him below.
Every man thinks it is wrong for the
gossips to tell things to others, but all
right to tell them to him.
A man does not enjoy liking one wo-
man so much that he does not enjoy
having two women liking him more.
If man is backward the people pull
him forward, and if man is forward
the people pull him backward.
It very often happens that the man
who tells you he hasn't dollar to his
name has a great many of them in his
wife's name.
It may improve mans standing in
heaven if he prays for his enemy, but it
improves it more on earth if he fights
him.-AtchisO7a Globe.

the description of the apostles he met
on his trip, points to Utah and the Nor
mons
There seems to be little room for doubt
that the Mormons of Utah and Nevada
are at the bottom of the new craze. In
many of its features it resembles the
Mormon faith. 1t bears the ear-marks
of MOrmonism all over it.
One of the cardinal doctrines of the
Mormon faith is belief in revelation.
From time to time the apostles of the
Latter-Day Saints, as they call them
selves, see visions and have all sorts of
things revealed to them by God. So that
not only does the location of the new
messiah but the essential points in the
whole story point to the Mormons as the
authors of the evil.
Among the Arapahoe Indians in wv
Oming it is supposed the messianic craze
was first started. They talked Of it in
the fall Of 1883, during visit of Porcu-
IpaRe to ShoSh0he Agency. The doctrine
was preached by an Indian called Sage,
who said he learned it while in the coun-
try 70 the southwest of the ShoshOne
Agency during the summer.
This man Sage described where the
messiah was to be found, and intimated
that he had come on earth for the pur-
pose of restoring it to its rightful owners
tho Indians; that he would wipe the
white men from the face Of the earth,
and restore the country to the condition
In which it was three hundred years ago.
The Cheyenne chief, Porcupine, was
naturally interested by this. He and his
companions determined to go to see this
new Redeemer. He sent several Indians
up to the Indians on Tongue River, in
the northern part of Wyoming and the
southern part of Montana, to tell them
the good news. Then he and few COM
paniOns started of on a long and peril
Gus journey.

An Odd Pronnsition-

One of the oldest contributions to-
the really large body of literature
called forth by the Servant question"
is the proposal of Mrs. Frances Oar;
win in an English magazine that SER;
want girl when applying for a situation
should have the same right to ask for
references from the mistress that the
mistress has to ask them from the SER
want. For the purpose of meeting this;
legitimate demand she suggests that
each mistress should name two referees
among her former servants who have
lived with her within a year. This as.
sumes a judicial mindedness and power:
of expression on the part of servant
girls which they hardly ever possess,
and it assumes also that the servant,
girls do not already act as references,
about mistresses for each other. The.
truth is that nearly every employers
character, as an employer, is pretty.
well known to all the servant girls in
the neighborhood. They describe the
ways of the people they live with to
one another at their Sunday evening
conVenticles with a minuteness and
proixity which leaves nothing to bede-
sired in the way of information about
temper, habits, kind and amount of.
work. 1t would be a waste of labor.
for any housekeeper to appoint stand
ing referees, because their Judgment
would either be superhuous or inef-.
fective, and would besides this be
highly colored by the reasons of the.
referee for leaving or staying in the
hOuse

Indians Porcupine learned that Christ
had appeared upon earth again and had
sent for him, thus explaining why he
unconsciOusly had started on his jour
ney. The Great Father was said to be
with Christ, and eleven Of the latter's
sons were also there.
AT great pow-wOw the Great Father
sent word TO Porcupine, through the
sons of the chief, that in the course of
fourteen days he would visit them.
Then followed a most remarkable
scene, in which the hand of the Mormon
hierarchy is apparent. Two days they
waited in expectation. At the end of
that time a vast concourse of Indians
was assembled. A place near the agency
was cleared in the form of a great ring,
into which they all entered.
The sun was just setting. 1t was a
cold afternoon in November, and any
one who is familiar with the West can
imagine the scene. The SnOW-capped
peaks of the Sierra Nevadas rose to the
west, tinted pink and gold with the
glory of the western sunset, the dark
pines around their bases mirrored in the
still darker waters of the lake, the vast
asSemblage of Indians, clothed in brill
ant blankets, the blue smoke of the fires
rising among the tepees, straight up, up,
up into the cold gray vault above. The
silence is scarcely broken. The Indians
are sitting around smoking their pipes
and saying nothing.
Just as the veil of darkness began to
spread itself over the pine trees in the
valley, while yet the light shone upon
the mountains, a large body of men,
dressed in the garb of civilization, ar

A DEMOCRATIC MASCOT.
GOvernor-EIect PattisOn, of PennsyIvani

GOvernOr-EIect PattisOn, of Pennsylvania.
Robert Emory Pattison, since his
second election to the Governorship of
Pennsylvania. is looked upon by his
friends in the Keystone State and
elsewhere as the possible Democratic
nominee for President in 1892, Gov
ernor Pattison's political career has
been a remarkable one for so young a
man. At 27 years of age he was nom
mated by the Democrats for Con-
troIler Of the city of Philadelphia, and
was elected by 1000 majority. Two
years later he stood for a second term,
and was chosen by majority of Ii. 500,
although Garfield, at the same cleo
ton, carried the city by 10000 votes.
In 1882 the Democrats Of Pennsyl-
vania, concluding that they had mas
cot in their midst, put him forward
for Governor, and he was elected
over General Beaver by a plu-
rality of 10000. PattisOn became
Governor at 80 years, and was the
youngest Executive the State ever had.
In 1890 the Democrats again turned to
their mascot, aud named him a second
time for Governor. Again he de-
feated his Republican opponent In
one of the strongest Repub-
ican States in the Union. Governor
Pattison is q bank President, but he Is
not rich man. His salary Is said to
be 500 year. He lives in his own

countered, but strength will be given
them TO overcome the obstacles.
WHAT THE GHOST DANCE is LIKE.
In preparing for the dance the Indians
cut the tallest tree that they can find,
and, having dragged it to a level piece of
prairie, set it up in the ground. Under.
this tree four of the head men stand.
Others form in circle and begin to go
around and around the tree. The begin
the dance Friday afternoon. 1t is kept
up Saturday and Sunday until shutdown.
During all this time they do not eat or
drink. They keep going round in one
direction until they become so dizzy that
they can scarcely stand, then turn and
go in the other direction and keep it up.
till they swOon from exhaustion. This
is what they strive to do, for while they
are in swoon they think they see and
talk with the new Christ When they
regain consciousness they tell their ex-
periences to the four wise men under
same story about the two mountains that
are to belch forth mud and bury the
white men and the return Of good In
dian times.
They lose all their senses in the dance.
They think they are animals. Some get
down on all tours and bob about like
buffalo, When they can not lose their
senses from exhaustion they butt their
heads together, beat them on the ground,
and do anything to become insensible, so
that they may be ushered into the pres
ence Of the new Christ. One poor Indi-
an, when he recovered his senses, said
that Christ had told him he must return
to earth because he had not brought with
him his wife and child. His child had died
two years before, and the way the poor
fellow cried was most heartrending. At
the end of the dance they had a grand
feast, the revel lasting all Sunday night
They kill several steers and eat them raw
and drink and gorge themselves TO make
up for their fast Every Indian has about
four war clubs made out of round stones
twisted in rawhide. They throw these
around during the dance, strew the
ground with them, and beat their heads
against them

by this burial.
The red men will be buried, too, but
will have a supernatural power given
them, by which they will climb out
through the stratum of earth. When
they arrive on the surface they will find
themselves purified. They will find
every trace of civilization and the hated
pale-face wiped out.
The prairies will be covered with way

Where Coral Comes From.

The largest quantity and the hand
soonest corals come from the Algerian
coast. These coral grounds have been
worked since the middle of the six
teenth century. Other coral grounds
are found on the coast of Sicily, Cor
sica. Sardinia, Spain, the Balearics and
Provence. More than 500 italian banks
and over 4, 200 persons are engaged in
the coral fishery. Besides these French
and Spanish barks are engaged in the
same occupation. The italian fisher
men pay high royalty to the French
Government for their right of fishing
for cora1s on the Algerian coast. There
are more than 60 coral workshops in
Italy, 40 of which arein the little town,
Tore del Greco, at the foot of Vesu-
vius. These shops give employment
to about 5000 persons, mostly women
and children.

the head of the column. is one of the
most stylish of the new midwinter
shapes. The crown is of ecru brown
cloth, exquisitely fine and soft, ar
ranged in long soft folds. About the
edge is a three-inch band of sea otter.
In the back are long donkey ears of
velvet of golden brown, carrying out
the lighter color of the cloth crown,
intermixed with those of otter faced
with the velvet. Flat loops of velvet
are arranged to fall from this cluster
of trimmings on the hair.
The second illustration shows the
Russian large hat, with its stiff brim
bent V-shaped in the front and turned
up in the back, giving it a piquant,
tip-tilted effect. The brim is of cloth
in the shade known as Stanley brown,
and is faced with velvet shade darker.
The medium crown is of sea otter.
This hat Is especially suited to the
fresh face of young girl.

ment of the Indians by their conquerors,
the white men, may shed some light upon
the primary cause for this threatened
uprising.
BroOding dissatisfaction over years of
tll-treatment has caused the advent of
this promised Redeemer to be treated
with Joy by the Indians. With the
westward march of civilization the Indi-
an has been crowded further an5 ether
back. His boundless prairies = been
wantonly depleted of their game. The
buffalo is extinct. The deer has retreat
ed to the forests. The Indians to-day
are prisoners. They are kept upon res
ervatiOns limited in extent and limited
IN their stock of game and fish.
No wonder, then, that the Indian has
come to the conclusion that Christ was
only for the white man. Having i'm
bibed the idea of a Messianic Savior,
it is no wonder that he seized upon the
idea of a red mans Christ with avidity,
adopted it, and worked himself up to
religious frenzy at the hope that he
would at no remote date regain his free
dom, his prairies, his game, and his tribal
relations.
1t is a mystery where this idea orig
mated. Sitting Bull, the great war
chief of the Dakota Sioux, is unques-
tionably at the bottom of all the trouble.
But the idea of an Indian messiah is not
his own. Neither is it that of Porcu-
pine, the cunning old chief of the Chey-
ennes, who claims to have talked with
the messiah and visited the "happy hunt
Eng grounds"

THE SLEEPY PIGEON.
BY ]. f. HOWARD.

., give me back the morn
Whose fields of yellow corn
Waved in the autumn wind
Long ago.
Let me when it shall break
From sleep OF health awake.
And seek the woodland haunts
That know.
Across the meadow mown
Up from a stump or stone
A sleepy pigeon flies,
Wet with dew.
Like him we leave the glade,
And in the leafy shade
Wait as the fairies wait,
Hid from view.
And see the rabbit when
He hobs from out the fen,
Alternate dropping ears,
Looking bland
And hear in symphony
The divers notes agree,
AS birds Of dawning wake
The matin song.
The owl on a dead tree
DeplOres the melody,
And the returning light
In his eyes.
The pine its golden head
Bows in the sun so red,
And thus the wood concludes
Its sacrifice.
