After the battle there lay on the field
100 warriors and twenty women and
children. OF the troops, twenty-nine
were killed and thirty-eigh6 wounded.
On the afternoon Of the fourth Gay
succeeding the contest there was found,
fast bound by a strap to its lifeless
mother and partly covered with snow. a
live Indian baby girl.
The child, which is supposed to belong
TO the tribe of Uncpapas, was only
slightly frozen about the head, hands
and feet She was taken to the agency
by the direction Of General L. V. Colby,
commander of the Nebraska state troops,
and kept until the hostilities ended and
the state and federal troops returned to
their stations.
General Colby then took the little
waif to his home at Beatrice, Neb.
where he and his wife adopted her as
their own. The Indian woman who had
charge Of her at the agency gave her the
musical Indian name Of Zintka L2nuni,
which means Lost Bird.
The dusky maid has fallen into good
hands. General and Mrs. Colby have
no children Of their own, and Zintka
Lanuni must rely en- the stoicism OF hel
race to save her from being spoiled By
the homage she receives. She is at pres
ent with her foster parents in Washing
ton, where Mrs. Colby goes every winter

A Remarkable Book.

The most wonderful book in the
world, perhaps, is 1.-The Passion of
Christ" 1t is the property Of the French
Prince Deligne, and is principally re-
markable from the fact that it is neither
written nor printed. 1t consists OF
alternate leaves of blue and white, and
as the letters are cut out of the white
pages, it conveys the impression of being
printed with blue ink. The volume was
curiosity as long ago as 1910, and it is
related that Rudolph of Germany, Oh
one occasion offered 900 ducats for it
and even then did II succeed in OBJ
tanning possession. Ii is estimated that
many years of labor of particularly
skilled artisan were expended on 'The
Passion of Christ" as the letters are all
perfect and clean cut.

A PHILOSOPHICAL cOCkRoAcH.
A cockroach sat on an editors desk,
With a cynical smile on his face;
And watched the editor make grotesque
Black marks On clean. white place.
Dear me!n said the cockroRch, Il can't see
Why he should labor so constantly,
For he doesn't accomplish a single thing
With all his writing and scissoring.
Paste and scissors,
Scissors and paste
Think OF the energy going to waste"
Theeditor listened. but didn't reply.
For h. I'D too much TO do;
But he said to himself, "One cant deny
There's much in the point of view.
One cannot measure his neighbours worth
By the gssh be makes in the face of the earth;
And strongly suspect that he may be
Perfectly right in his judgment of me.
Paste and scissors.
Scissors and paste
Think Of the energy going to waste!"
Then the editor smashed the cockroach fat
With his scissors and buried him deep
In the pot Of paste and remarked, Now that
consider is getting OH cheap.
The critical faculty, as we know.
Is q dangerous thing to have, and so
I've forwarded you 10 better land,
For the sake of society, understa nd"
Then the editor took up his pen and said,
As he looked at the cocxroach lying dead,
Paste and scissors,
Scissors and paste
Think of the energy going TO waste!

LOVE INDEED.

Our love is donel

But yet for our dead passions sake,
Kiss me once more and strive to make
Our last kiss the supTemest oRs,
For love is done.
Our love is done!
And still my eyes with tears are wet,
Our souls are stirred with vain regret;
We gaze farewell, yet cannot speak,
And firm resolve grows strangely weak,
Though hearts are twain that once wsrs
one,
Since love is done.
But love is donei
know Il, VOW it, and that kiss
Must set finis to our bliss.
Yet when felt thy mouth meet mine.
My life again seemed half divine,
Our very hearts together runi
Can love be done?
Can love be done2
Who cares if this be mad or wise?
Trust not my words, but read my eyea,
Thy kiss hade sleeping love awake;
Then take LIE to thy heart; an! take
The life that with thine own is one.
Love is not donei

They sag that am back number
But Little care what they say
That slowly the wrinkles are coming,
That my hair has begun to be gray.
That my eyes have forgotten to twinkle
With the brightness so often they wore,
That the crows feet conclusively show there
That the days of my rriumphs are DER.
Yet little they know this old pagan

Far into the frosts Of the winter.

And one 10 return the affection
