A PIPESTONE LEGEND.
Origin of the Cnstom of Smoking the 2il
of Peace.

Origin of the Cnstom of Smoking the pipe
of Peace.
Catlinite, the sacred red pipestone of
the various tribes of Indians is found in
quantity only in Pipestone County,
Minnesota, the county seat of the county
also being named Pipcstone. The In
dians claim that Manitou, the Great
Spirit, taught them the use of the stone
at the quarry in peace. For miles
around the quarry in every direction may
be seen relics of camps, now nearly
buried from sight, except where the
prairie has recently been swept by fire.
The Indians, not only of the near
vicinity, but of the whole northwest,
tell peculiar legend to account for the
fact that the stone only exists at this
particular point They say that thou
sands of years ago remnant of red
men were driven by a great deluge to
the top of this rocky crest. Upon the
very pinnacle of the crest an eagle had
built her nest and was sitting upon her
eggs, The encrOachment of the waters
finally drowned the entire party except
a beautiful maiden, who clung to the
eagle for safety. When the waters
receded the girl was surprised and
Mortified to find her late companions
turned into solid rock resembling shin
ing jasper. Presently the Great Spirit
appeared and in solemn wrath vowed
that henceforth the tribes should meet
here only in peace: that no warwhoop
should be heard, but thereafter the
tribes should assemble at the sacred spot
once each year to wash off their wa"
paint and smoke the pipe of peace, ii
token of which the maiden and the war
eagle should sacrifice milk-white bison
the rarest and most sacred beast that
ever trod the American plains,
On the following year, when the
ceremony was being carried out accord
ing to the wishes of the Great Spirit, Il
flame from heaven scattered the blood
of the sacred bison all over the rocks.
changing the white, challly cliffs into
crags of crimson pipestone. The eagle
then joined in the compact by laying
five eggs which turned into huge boul-
ders, watched over by two female geni
who alternately sleep and watch the
sacred quarry. Manitou Great Spirit
taught the red men how to carve pipes
from the stone and then left: not, how.

himself in the shape of gigantic HUI

a MASTER HAND.
Eli Always "Got There" When 1t Came
to Pumping.


to Pumping.
A high opinion of himself and his inn
portance to the rest of the world is un-
doubtedly most comfortable thing for
man to possess, but it is sometimes
amusing to those who do not rate him
so high as he rates himself.
Eli Saunders was tall, thin, gawly
man who had always lived in a little
village, and had never accomplished
anything worth mentioning; but he had
little money, more than most of his
neighbors, and considered himself u
very valuable member of society.
He was decidedly eccentric, and there
were people who contended that his
''head wasn't right" However this
might be, he went his way, regardless
of criticism. He was fond of music,
and insisted on pumping" the little
organ in the church, Sunday after Sun
day, year in and year out, Just for
love-" as he said.
"What's the use of hirin' fighty boy
that most likely won't pump even
strokes" he inquired, when here be,
ready an willin'?"
AS he grew older he became more and
more convinced that his part in the
music on Sundays was one of great inn
portance, and often spoke of the skill
it required to pump an organ as it
should be done, neither too fast nor too
slow.
One day fine organist from distant
city came to the little place, and played
on the organ on Sunday, He held a
! short conversation after church with
Eli, who went home much elated.
''He said | pumped stiddy an sure
as anybody he'd ever had" announced
Eli in triumph to his meek, admiring
wife.
"S'posin' had given up pumpin', as
some of 'em have sujested I'd like to
know how you think that hop-sltippin'
Mason boys manner of pumpin' would
have struck this city man? Throwed
him all off his base, morn likely.
But | let him see knew pumped
better'n common. SO when he'd passed
me few compliments jest said:
I'm used to it, an there can't no.
body beat ME at it, l presume to say.
Jest let me git my bearin's, an little
insight into the tune, an | can pump
any piece you've mind to play
"An' ne said" added Eli, that was
morn'n he could say, fer no doubt there
was any number of pieces / could pump
that he couldn't play So what d You
think of that, Sarah?"-Youth's Com
panion.

A Genuine CnrlnsltY.

The society of California pioneers is
the owner of n wonderful curiosity. 1t
is section of timber taken from the
side of the ship Poyyhatan. 1t includes
a portion of the skin" which is four
inches thick, and piece Of abutting
knee which is nine inches thick; trans
versely through the Whole OF this a
swordfish has dashed his sword, and the
portion broken off is still irbedded in
the timber. The sword pierced through
thirteen inches of this solid oak. and
the fish was going in the same direction
as the vessel at that, the ship being
under good head of steam at the time.
An idea of the strength which must
have been exerted can be obtained from
the fact that rifle siX-pounder could
not have done more than pierce that

a PRETTY STORY.
The Friendship of Baby Dixon and Henry
CLAY.

Clay.
One of the brightest of the new
United Suites senators is Mr.. Nathan
Fellows Dixon, of Rhode Island, a
bright-eyed, dark faced republican,
forty-three years of age. He comes
from line of statesmen. His grand
father was in the senate when John
Tyler was president, and his father took
him to Washington as a three-year-old
baby during the first congressional term
in 1S40 and 80. Senator Dixon stayed
with his father at this time at the Ma
tional hotel, and young as he was he
was able to remember some of the in
cidents of this part of his life. Henry
Clay was staying at the same hotel and
he was very fond of children. Senator
Dixon says he distinctly remembers one
day going down the steps and meeting
Henry Clay coming up. The great
Kentuckian grasped the Rhode Island
baby in his arms and lifted him up to
his face. Little Dixon yelled out:
Let me co.
Mr.. Clay, however, putting his arms
around the boy and holding him to his
breast said: ~ can't do that because |
want to kiss you, and wonder if you
know who / am"
Eyes, know" said the boy, "but l
want to 60"
"Well who am II" said Clay.
"Oh!" said young Dixon, ''you are
Mr. Harry Clay. Now let me go"
With this the great statesman kissed
the boy, gave hearty laugh with his
big mouth, and put him down.
From this time on Baby Dixon and
Senator Clay continued their acquaint.
tance, and Baby Dixon often came into
Senator Clay's room, and was made
much of by the senator. One day,
however, he was present when Henry
Clay had some important callers. He
had no time to talk to Baby Dixon, and
he took him from his knee, placed him
upon his feet, and said: "Now, Natey
run down stairs to your mamma"
The future senator was rather indig'
nant at this treatment and slammed the
door heartily as he stamped out. Sena
tor Clay told the story a number oi
times afterward. He said he could heai
little Nathan's footsteps as he wen'
down the stairs. At first his tread was
loud and boisterous. AS he went to
ward the bottom it grew fainter anC
fainter, and at last the noise stopped u
the foot of the stairs. A moment latel
he heard the little feet pattering bacl
again, and gentle knock was made
upon the door. Henry called out:
Come in, sir!'
The door opened and little NatbaI
Dixon's pretty face looked in, and his
cherry lips voiced forth the words:
"My love to you, Mr.. Clay"
With that he turned and ran dow
the stairs to his mother. He had cvi
IDENTIFY appreciated that his action il
slamming the door and leaving The
room was ungentlemanly, and thougl
only boy of three years he had re
pented before he reached the foot of tn
stairs, and hurried back to make hi
baby apology.-F. G.. Carpenter, il
