Indians as SIM Okers.
CEN,ox,, flA yUo oh w chow Cfa- I


Every Indian worships tobacco. Give
the Sioux suficiency of beef and tobacco
and there will be no more war between
them and tho United States. They do
not get any tobacco from the government
in these days, SO they sell what little else
they do have, and with the proceeds pro-
cure cigarettes and tobacco. 1t used to
be that the red man was satisfied with
dried red willow bark, but he has been
civilized very materially, and now insists
on the best brands of the most thor
oughly cultivated and manufactured weed.
Some of the older fellows still mix the
willow with their smoke-they prefer
the Kinnick- the younger
men take the tobacco straight. Their
love for cigarettes amounts almost to q
passion, and yet the Indian is master of
the situation. He can smoke enough
cigarettes to kill every dude on the face
of the earth, go on the warpath for a
couple of months and starve, and yet
turn up with physique that seems un-
injured. The suggestion that unlimited
cigarettes were cheaper than soldiers
thus falls to the ground and becomes
valueless.

Farmer who Didn't Want Any
Soap.


From the New York Sum-
"You can either beat farmer as slick
as grease or you can't beat him at all, y
said the patent hay fork man as we were
talking about his adventures in the rural
regions. "That is, he is either gullible OF
over suspicious. Some will refuse good
thing and some will snap at swindle. l
think can illustrate my declaration right
here, or at least one of them. The man
in the seat over there is a farmer"
~ should say So"
"And he's one of the sort who suspects
every stranger. Watch me try him."
He took cake of toilet soap from his
sachel, and going over to the farmer salu-
ted him in pleasant manner and added:
81 have new make of soap here which
I am introducing to the public. It is
worth fifteen cents cake, but make the
price only fve."
"Don't want it," was the gruff reply.
"With every cake goes a five dollar
greenback, gold bracelet, the deed of q
town lot in Kansas, a pocket knife, pair
Of eyeglasses and solid gold ring"
Don't want 'em, STRIP
GAS want your opinion of the soap I
will give it to you"
IT won't take It'll"
"But, sir, in order to introduce it into
your neighborhood I will give you one
hundred cakes free, and at the same time
leave five watches and five deeds to town
lots"
''Look-a-here!" shouted the farmer as
he jumped up and spat on his hands.
"You go away from me or I'll mash you!
Pm on to your tricks, old man, and if you
think you have picked up hayseed you
are barking up the wrong tree"
And the hayfork man had to move live
ly to escape the blow leveled at his nose.

Costly Fare for a Day Laborer.
from the Chicago Tribune

Digging post holes on the lake front for
the Worlds Fair for $3.50 per day and
paying So a day for board at the Audi
torium will not increase a mans bank
account, but Will Mahar is one who has
had some experience in that direction.
de is at present guest at the big hotel,
but as he was somewhat peculiar in his
manner, and especially in his dress, he
received call from Clerk Will Shafer.
He was told he attracted altogether too
much attention from the guests in the
dining room. He now takes his meals in
tho cafe.
Mr.. Mahar, to say the least, is eccentric.
Last week the crowds of people that
gathered to see the first shovslful of
earth dug up on the lake front by the
laborers saw Mr.. Mahar step forward
with his shovel and begin work. Az long
as there was employment for the laborere
Mahar earned his 81. so per day, and just
as regularly his bill at the Auditorium
increased at the rate of IS per day. Az
Mahar does not resemble Ward McAllister
or any of the other prosperous-looking
guests in the house, Mr.. Shafer nodestly
Suggested to the eccentric boarder one
day last week, as it was "near the first
of the month, he had better settle his &C.
counts"
"Why, certainly" replied Mahar, and
pulling from his pocket roll of bills, paid
what was due the house and demanded 6
receipt.
Yesterday Mahar occupied his time il
walking up and down the hotel rotunda
His makeup was a unique one. Mahal
said it was his own patent. It consisted
| of black pair of trousers, held up by I
stout piece of cord tied tightly around hi
waist, a soiled white shirt, and silk ha
of tho vintage of '54.
"Don't you find living at the Auditorium
rather expensive?' he was asked.
'My assets are 50, 400, and I guess car
! board at the Auditorium if I want to-" re-
piled Mahar.
He says he is waiting for the contrac
| tors to begin work on the lake front whe1
he intends to resume his Worlds Fair job
In the meantime he continues to pay So ,
| day for board. He says he dug up tn
| first shovelful of earth for the grea
Worlds Exposition. He has trunk filled
with dirt in his room. The soil, he says

A PRETTY ROMANCE.
How a San Francisco Girl Became an
Artist.

PRETTY ROMANCE.
How a San Francisco Girl Became an
Artist.
from the San Francisco Examiner.l:
People who noticed in the Examiner
window recently splendid cast of the
head of Sitting Bull will be interested to
hear the pretty romance of the young artist
whose work it was.
It was modelled by Miss Alice Rideout,
young lady of less than eighteen years of
age, who has already shown such talent
that she bids fair to take front rank among
the host of artists that the Pacific slope can
claim as its own.
Her first start in her chosen profession
can be directly traced to large English
mastiff owned by her family, although her
artistic aspirations date back to early
childhood. One day while accompanied
by the mastiff, she passed the open door of
sculptor's studio. The animal rushed in
and, with apparent deliberation, knocked
over the pedestal upon which was placed
for exhibition the artists latest work. An
arm and leg were shattered, and the piece
lay seeming wreck on the floor. The at
| tendant was wild. The girl endeavored to
make excuses for the dog, but nothing
| would answer. Offers were made to pay
for the damage, but to no avail The man
dreading that upon the artists return he
would lose his position, was inconsolable.
The girl begged to be allowed to repair the
piece, and after repeated entreaties the
man consented, with the remark that while
he did not believe it could be fixed. he was
very certain she could not injure it. He
mixed the clay for her, and watched with
interest the Impractical fingers doing the
work that the accomplished artist had &c
lately finished and taken so much pride in
An hour passed with most gratifying re-
suits; the arm was restored and was per
feet; the attendant was happy. Another
hour the leg approached completion, wher
10, the artist appeared on the scene. HI
took in the situation at glance, and, un
noticed by the occupants of the room
watched the work. Finished, explanation
are in order and given. The artist il
charmed, declares the work of restoration
has added new charms to the piece, ant
having heard from the girl the great ambi
ton of her life, went with her to her HON
and insisted that her parents should ALLOW
:. her an opportunity to learn the art TO
which she had evidently so much inheren
| talent
