mel You see, he was sure I had not an
other shot ready.
He had my hatchet, and knife, and
I'll be hanged if he wasn't coming
ashore to have iHout against me with
my own weapons.
when he was within five yards
lifted my gun and put the butt to my
shoulder.
''He laughed in.ridicule and showed
the canoe ashore. At that instant l
didn't see what to do-except shoot him;
but the other Indian gave cry from
the canoe. He had seen me loading, and
his word told the young brave the fix he
was in.
"Well, sir, that word and my mer-
cifulness in kind o hesitatin' about
shooting him was nearly the end of me,
for the reckless young rascal flung my
Ratchet SO suddenly, al my head that
only just managed 40 dodge it. Next
instant he sprang at NE with the knife.
''But he jumped straight at the
muzzle of my gun, and the force of the
blow that he got took the breath out
hands and fell forward. Before he
could pick himself up L knocked him
.senseless with the butt'of the gun
what did do then? Why, hauled
at my trolling line, and pretty soon it
came loose from the dummy. Then I
tied the hands of the one 1 had struck
tied them behind his back-and tied
his legs and left him to come to his
senses.
when went to the other fellow in
the canoe / found he had tainted from
loss of blood. l lifted him out and tied
him so that ne could not move in case
he should revive while I was off for
their guns.
by the time I came back they had
both returned to their senses. l carried
the one that had hit on the head over
to where the other one was and ex-
planned to them both, as well as could
with my limited command of their Ian
guage, what 1 intended to do. Then l
put them both into my canoe and made
for my cabin.
''Wel, sir, got the bullet ont Of the
wounded redskin and nursed and fed
him for more than two weeks before he
was able to sit up Meantime I kept
the other one bound firmly with thongs
and chains from my traps. 1 wished
had not felt it necessary to do SO, but
knew there was no trusting him.
"As soon as l thought the wounded
one was strong enough to stand the
trip put them both in their own canoe,
which l had recovered. / gave them
enough to eat for week and placed be-
side them their rifles, unloaded. gave
them no ammunition, for L did not
think could trust them. Then I cut
the thongs that bound the unwounded
one.
Young braves I said, go back to
your people and tell them the white
man is their friend. If Indian does not
try to kill white man, white man will |
not kill Indian. Tell your brothers |
treated you. And ask them if they do |
not believe that great spirit watches
over me. If Indian hunts me Indian |
heap die. Now CO.
Il tell you, Bob, it made me feel good |
for a week to see the look of JOY and /
hope in the faces of those two young saw |
ages. Did l see them again? Yes, and |

EAST Indians Make Constant and Universal
Use of the Lower Limb.
The traveller who walks in the native

the Indian, squatting or sitting on the
ground, works with rs feet as well a
with his hands: and y. might be said
that all four of his limbs are in con-
slant exercise. The joiner. for exam

The metal-worker holds the Joint of his

In the making of wooden combs I
have seen the comb held straight up by
the feet, while the workgnen marked
the teeth with one hand and with the
other directed the instrument that cur
them. The wood turner directs the

waters when the Sioux, the original
| possessors of that beautiful section,
were numerous. Not the least pleasure
of these trips was that of listening to
the old mans tales of those early days.
I've played many trick on the red
SKINS said old Thad, speaking IN a
slovenly dialect that l will not tran
scribe, "but the neatest scheme ever
worked on them was one played On a
couple of Sioux one summer in the for
ties.
Il had frozen my feet the winter be-
fore, and was not well able to get
round on the prairie, SO l made up my
mind to take good long rest and get
ready for the fall trapping. With that
idea / rugged up brush camp On the
creek that joins these two big lakes,

within half mile of camp, SO hunted
just enough to keep meat on hand.
Most of nv time l spent fishing and
padding about and specializing where
I'd be likely to find the best trapping

Thinking about Indians didn't
trouble me bit. had had SO many
brushes with the Sioux, and had always
made them suffer SO much and then
got out of their way SO mysteriously,

medicine man, with a special manitou

keep out of my way; and / knew it
But didn't go round with my eyes
shut, l can tell you, for I knew too
much about Indians to expect them to
stay in one mind.
'one warm morning I got into my
canoe and started for the upper lake.
You know there are lots of bulrushes
round that lake, and needed about
canoe load of them to stop the leaks in
my cabin roof.
After l had cut lot Of the bull
rushes and tied them in bundles about
as big around as my body, l laid them
in the bottom of the canoe and padded
farther up the lake for little fishing.
You recollect that place betwixt the
island and the point of timber where
we struck that school of big black bass
last summer? Well, there were far
more bass there forty years ago.
Il cut me good pole among the will
lows on the island, and tied big rock
fast to the rope at the bow of my canoe.
Then / padded close to the island,

a JUGGLER'S TRICK.
He Pretends to Kill a Man and Deceives
All His Beholders.

AL DSAOAucFs.
The wonderful feats of east Indian
jugglers have formed the theme OF
many letter from travellers in the
Orient, but none are more surprising
than that for which an old sea dog
vouches. While he was an officer on
board the p and o. steamers, two ma
tives came aboard at Madras, he saws.
They were juggler and his assistant.
After they had performed a number of
minor feats and gathered quite a crowd
around them, they called for sack and
piece of sail cloth.
These having been provided, the chief
juggler, made small, tent-like struc-
ture with canvas and some stools. He
then placed his assistant in the
sack and allowed sailor TO tie
the knot which bound him fast pris-
oner. This done the chief carried the
sack into an open space. warning the
people to stand back some distance, and
then carried on an animated converse
ton with his assistant, whose replies
could be distinctly heard coming from
the sack. Suddenly the chief rushed
forward, picked up the sack and dump
ed it overheard, where, to the horror Of
the passengers and crew, it sank out Of
sight
Immediately the captain rushed for
ward and seized the man, under the
full belief that he had murdered his
companion, but the juggler only smiled,
and, pointing to the canvas, asked that
it be raised. This was done, and the
supposed drowned man was discovered
squatting on the deck So realistic had
been the throwing overheard, however,
that il was soma time before the sur
prised passengers could realize that
murder had not been committed

Herman Enterprise: On Tuesday
last it was our good fortune to be
present at the institution of a Knights
of Pythias Lodge at Morris. 1t rained
all day but that did not interfere with
the work or dampen the enthusiasm
of the visiting Knights, of which a
large number were present from this
place, Glenwood, Benson, Graceville
and other towns. Morris is strong
hold Of secret societies, still there was
room for one more and the principles
of the noble order Of Knights of
Pythias will henceforth be practiced
there. The visiting knights we're
royalty entertained. Supper was served
at The Morris at 6 o'clock and a lunch
at II, at Odd Fellows hall where the
institution took place. Twenty-Five
candidates were initiated into the
mysteries of knighthood, all consisting

RINGLING BROS. CIRCUS.

The Whole World Made tributary to
This Marvellous Tented Exposition.
The far-reaching enterprise of the
Ringing Brothers, whose famous
Worlds Greatest Shows exhibit at
Morris, Wednesday, June 22nd, is
bounded only by the limitations of
the terrestrial globe itself. In their
efforts to give to the public each sue
cessive season some new and hitherto
undreamed of novelty, they have
compelled every cline habitable and
uninhabitable to pay tribute to their
enterprise. The jungles of Africa and
the pampas of the southern hemi-
sphere have given up their treasures
for this vast concourse of geological,
chronological and aquatic marvels. The
famous circuses of Europe have sent
their leading equestrian and acrobatic
features. Moscow, that far-famed
city of Russia, whose bells belong to
the annals of the White Cars do
main, furnishes fac SMILES of the his
toric bells of the Kremlin Tower, to
make sweet melody in the dazzling
procession that forms daily feature
of the Ringing Brothers stupendous
aggregation. Science steps in, and in
contributing to the grand professional
introduces a mammoth steam engine,
which, running through the streets
without tracks, Or need of them, draws
one Of the many sections Of the parade.
Widest adventure, tireless historic
research and the most extensive
knowledge of men and affairs have
combined to make this the most COM
prehensive exhibition ever presented
under canvas.

A Perfect Cooking Range.


Human ingenuity is never satisfied
until it arrives at perfection in the
line of invention. Take, for instance,
the necessary article, a cooking stove,
We remember, sixty years ago, the
cooking stove of that day was the
James, a plain box stove, with the
oven directly over the fire. From
that time until the present improve
ment in cooking stoves has been con-
stantly going on, until we now have
the Majestic Steel Range and water
heater, which is as near perfection as
human ingenuity can devise. These
ranges are made of wrought, NAL
leable and gray iron, very neat, con-
venient and really ornamental, and
with fair usage will last a hundred
years. We cannot give full descrip-
ton of these wonderful cooking
ranges in this notice, but recommend
all those who desire to obtain per-
feet cooking stove to call at the store
of j. D. Good and examine the
Majectic Wrought Steel Cooking
Range. ......

Wolf Bounty.

According to Noah Webster coy
ote is "a carniferous animal, allied to
the dog, found in the western part of
North America, called also prairie
WOLF" and this is the animal for the
scalps of which the granger legislature
of Minnesota at it's session of 1890 81
appropriated $4,000. Under the
authority of this law our county aud
itor has been paying for scalps of
prairie-wolves. We had supposed
that the bounty was for genuine tim
Der wolves, which in Stevens county
are as scarce as hens teeth. The
auditor says that he has been paying
bounties for prairie wolves, not for
foxes; that the state pays for the
bounty, not the county, or only it's
pro rata share, the same as all other
state taxes; that he has hunted wolves
enough to know prairie-wolf from a
fox, and their talk about foxes being
palmed off on him for wolves is all
bosh. So it would seem that the
auditor is correct after all.

A Black Mans Generosity.

l
A southern lady, whose family was i'm
poyerished by the war, but who through
noble effort has won wealth since then, tells
the following story:
II was living in Charleston with my two
children when General Hardee was forced
to evacuate, and you may well believe the
richest of us was poor indeed. The Fed
eral troops entered at once, and if it had
not been for this We would have been in a

| Zone day as was passing along the
street saw an old black man seated in a
doorway begging, with his hat in his hand.
| Stopping, recognized him as the faithful
servant of friend of mine, whom had
| known since my childhood. Touched by the
sight, searched in my purse and finding
| a small silver coin, which I had carried
since the breaking out of the war, bent
over and dropped it into his hat.
