An Indian Braves Joke,

Two young women were alone one
day, when young Indian brave whom
they knew came to see the man of
the house. The man was away and
the Indian sat down to wait for him.
During this interval the girls, being of
n lively turn, began asking him ques-
tions about his former mode of life;
among other things they asked him to
give a war-whoop and show them how
he scalped people, but he gave no an
swer. Some time after when they
were talking of other subjects and
had forgotten all about him, he sprang
up suddenly, gave a war-whoop that
made the house-top ring, then snatch
ing a big knife that lay on the table
with one hand, he took the topknot
of one of the girls in the other, and
ran the back Of the knife around her
scalp. They were each scalped in this
manner and were nearly frightened
out of their wits; but he sat down and
began to laugh and told them he had
only done what they had asked him
to do. They soon recovered from tho
shock and laughed heartily at the In
dams joke-Yankton letter to Spring
field Republican.

This time the young man was slight

The season had undergone another
change. The gray squirrel ran along
the top rail OF the fence with a brown
nut in his mouth; the cat bird was
teaching her young ones to fly, and
the chipmunk slyly stole through the
dying grass. The colonel walked
in the orchard where the red APP

haze. Suddenly he discovered that
John Piller was standing near him.
