Give the Indians Credit.

Chamberlain, May 6.-An in
stance of the better side of the
Indain character has been brought
to light by a gentleman who has
just returned from a trip up White
river. During the 1ndain difficulty
last winter, white settler, John
Deagan, and his family, living west
of here in the ceded Sioux lands,
about sixty-hve miles up White
river, had nearly everything they
possessed stolen by small band
of hostiles who raided in that
vicinity. Some friendly Rosebud
Indians. under Chief Whirlwind; a
son of old Spotted Tail who was
killed near Rosebud agency some
years ago by Cow Dog, heard of
the plight in which the settler and
his family had been left by reason
of the raid, and as soon as possible
started to cover the great distance
that lay between them and the
settlers home, taking with them
large quantities of food, and other
supplies that had been issued to
them by the government for their
own use. They arrived at the
settlers home, and the sight of the
red men with the generous supply
of food brought tears to the eyes
of the famished settler and his
starving family. Besides the
settler and his wife there were
three children in the family, the
youngest being baby but 7 weeks
old. The Indians camped in the
vicinity of the settlers home after
their arrival, and have since re-
named there, all the time seeing
to it that the white man and his
family did not again suffer the
pangs of starvation, furnishing
them from their own supplies.
They evidently know that their
nore warlikc brethren were to
blame for the sad plight in which
the white family had been left, and
they adopted this generous plan
to make amends for ths devilment
Of their fellows. They even pro.
cured postal cards for the settler,
so he could write his friends ex.
planning his position and asking
them for assistance until summer,
when he will again be on his feet,
Deagan was also furnished seed
grain by the kind-hearted Indians,
and he has thus been enabled te
put in very large crop, from which
he expects to realize considerable
money. AS rule Indians have
been looked upon as being decid
edly selfish, and think it is theil
privilege to either beg or steal any

want themselves, but this instance
shows there are at least some o.

RESTORATION.

There is q Venus carved in stone,
Far famous for its sculptured chapmsi
IT'S queenly, FUR, and married alone
BY this; the goddess has Ne arms.
Those shapely arms were interlaced
For centuries with dust and mold;
So close their marble clasp embraced
They broke ere they released their hold.
Those fair limbs mingled with the earth;
But nature yields all she immures,
And now they have their second birth,
And we see them here restored in yours
Could that white Venus but possess
Your arms in girlish grace so sweet
Then would her calm, cold lOyeltness
In all its glory be complete.

Growth often takes place in unexpected
ways, or does not take place when we
should expect it. The order Of develop
ment is less rigid and more variable than
Is sometimes supposed. If this were not
the case there would be more difference
than there is at present between child
educated in a kindergarten and one edu-
Gated in a well ordered home In the
home the objects present themselves to the
child without any fixed order-he tumbles
into knowledge, and this want of system
is not without its advantages, seeing that
we cannot make our systems perfect.
Even il a definite system be pursued
some time and opportunity must I've given
at all stages Of education for this chance
development. In a home where child Is
allowed, under the care of some educated
person, to investigate the objects around
him, and the natural and artificial processes
which are conducted in the house and its
surroundings, much healthy development
may take place without any fixed system.
But a life which is limited to the nursery,
with artificial playthings and daily walk
by the side of perambulator, is eminently
unsatisfactory. An ignorant nurse has no
idea of the kind of sympathy and help
child requires. Even when she is fond Of
him she interrupts the workings of his
mind with rude laughter. She does not
understand how to speak the truth, though
If convenient she will stigmatize an unin-
territorial misstatement as a lie.
She will capriciously surround him with
vexatious restrictions, yet will develop
self consciousness and selfshness by fat
terry and over indulgence. This is not a
promising state of things, but deter
mined child, especially If he be fortunate
enough to have brothers and sisters, will
modify it somewhat by engaging in active
and healthy play whenever he can elude
the vigilance Of his nurse, who is full Of
anxiety about the state Of his clothes, and
disapproves Of most kinds Of games -Popu-
