A Protest Against the Department.

n frOtest Against the Department.
To the Editor OF The Leader.
CHEYENNE, Jan. l3.-Wil YOU kindly
grant me some of your valuable space for
the purpose of expressing che feeling of
disgust, which is shared by many others
with myself, at the conduct of the au-
thorities OF the war department in Wash
inEton as shown by the present war with
the Indians. Are the authorities, after
the many experiences in the past, still lg.
norant of Indian warfare? And will they
still allow the men to be shot down like
dogs without a chance OF returning the
fire? l perfectly agree with vour special
correspondence letter of this morning and
wodld ask with him that the gentlemen
IN Washington who term the fight on
P%orcupine creek "a massacre" answer his
question, What else would have hap.
pened if we had not returned the fire."
Very easily could that question be an.
swered If the whites had not returned the
noble red mems e. fire, and the answer
would be-total humiliation of the white
men. Don't you think that it is about
time for the war department Ito use a
Western expression) to take a tumble to
itself. and issue orders something like
this: xiii all and every red skinned
devil you can get in r,nge 81, and rid the
country Of them now and torevermore."

How He Met spivy Sims.

The way by which / come to know that
Epivy Sims, of Sand Mountain, was a critic
and q realist was short and straight. He
came up behind me at a moment when /
had on a four-pound bass with a full hun
dred feet of line out; the desperate fish
was fying out of the water about three
cubits every five seconds in spite of all that
/ could do, and was gradually working its
way toward the bushy top of a tree that
had fallen into the stream. Every angler
will understand wLN a point Of life this
was for dry, matter of fact, unromantic
voice TO hit nay ear with:
''Pull, Teller, pull; pull i'm right in!
Yank i'm right outI Let go er tibet air
switch an grab yer Incl Amt We got airy
striflin er common sense inter yer little
frizzly head? Pull i'm to ye an git i'm by
the giils"
Of course not dreaming that any hu-
man being was within a league of me,
that voice made me turn my head, and
what else could happen but five foot leap
by the bass and a break away? You al
ways lose the finest fish. made remarks
then and there TO Spivy Sims-remarks
not complimentary to him-and he chuc-
kled complacently.
Little feller," said he, ''ef take We by
yer heels and wrap We eroun tibet tree Their
erbout seventeen times yell know who |
am"
1t was my turn now to smile and be com
placent and amiable, seeing how tall and
broad and bOny he was. We made friends
at once, even before we knew each others
names and l went TO have dinner with
him at his cabin.-Maurice Thompson in

The Training of Children.

A well known physician, who has some
decided views on the proper bringing up of
children, was talking on the subject the
other day. "Children of this generation
are too much petted, he said, land para
doxical as it may seem, at the same time
they are too much neglected-that is to
say, they are left too much in the care Of
servants. At the same time, when the care
of parent is needed most, especially that
of mother, they are relegated to the ten
der mercies of nurse. As to the petting,
when | was a child and got hungry be-
tween meals l was given a slice of bread
and butter, well covered with good old
fashioned New Orleans molasses.
''Now child's little stomach can only be
appeased with chocolate eclair or a cream
puff. Bah! But perhaps the compensation
for such state o, affairs is found in the
fact that the Childhood existence is so
short. Just as soon rs boy, for instance,
is out of short dresses, he is given a cut
away coat aud cigarette. and becomes a
mani But it doesn't do any good to talk,
so l might as well keep still. "-Brooklyn

Tender feet are very commonly com

bath'-otherwise rubbing vaseIine or oil

dipping a large sporge in cold water,

inches above onto the foot, rubbing after

Keuring the Head Clean.

Keeping the head perfectly clean is a
great aid TO health. An exchange tells of
q distinguished physician who, having
spent much OF his time Al quarantine, said
that person whose head was thoroughly
washed every day rarely took contagious
diseases, but when the hair was allowed
to become dirty and matted it was hardly
possible to escape infection. Many persons
find speedy relief for nervous headache by
washing the head thoroughly in weak soda
water. We have known cases almost
wholly cured IN ten minutes by this sim
PIE remedy. A friend finds it the greatest
relief in case OF reese cold. !" the cold svmp-
toms entirely lsaving the eyes after one

should be thoroughly dried afterward and

The Ethics of Getting a Light.

Please allow me to suggest that a gen
tleman will not, in these United States of
North America, ask stranger for fire
from his cigar; that is, if a gentleman is
one who has wakeful regard for the feel
ings and prejudices of others.
In the Spanish speaking countries of
America, where ceremonious politeness is
constitutional, and every care is taken not
20 touch the moist end of cigar with the
hand, fire is not as a general principle
asked from q stranger. though it is often
offered. But over there one would shrink
from giving a cigar he proposed to con
tinue smoking to either a gentleman or a
hoOdlum vino demanded a light
The smoking community should either
carry matches in it's pocket or take dry
smoke, rather than putting strange broth
ar to distress of mind by making request,
compliance with which involves passing a
moist cigar into strange hands, while re-
fusing the request can hardly fail to pain
