A wealthy Indian Chief.


WdLld VdlLd, IPGsh., Salesman
Residing at a place on Snake river
known as Fishhook Bend, lives the
wealthiest Indian of his tribe, Wolf,
chief OF the Palouse Indians. He owns
100 acres OF land, all under cultivation,
with good house and barn, and well
stocked. He raises horses principally,
being the possessor Of over 1000 head
at the present time. He has shipped
several thousand head, at one time ship
ping 5000 head and at another 1000.
He is foriy-nine years OF age, but looks
much younger, and has a physique that
many weakly paleface might envy.
WithaI, he is a widower, having already
lost two "klootchmen."
Wolf dresses in Indian costume, with
red blanket thrown artistically over
one shoulder and calico or white
blouse shirt quite decollete to display
necklace composed of many.colored
beads, bears teeth, shells, etc. Rings
adorn his fingers, upon the third finger
of the left hand being handsome seal
ring. Moccasins deliberately beaded
enclose his feet, and his hair is cut
with Modoc bang and combed POM
padour, while his long black hair Is
divided into many strands, each bound
with colored silk thread. He wears a
hat. but adorns his head with turkey
feathers, tho ends of which are
bound with red silk. Another
favorite headgear with him is
simply the rim of hat decorated all
around with coyote tails. This he wears
upon state occasions. Upon his wrists
he wears ten or twelve brass wire brace
let's. He is said to possess most ami
able disposition, being always pleasant
and agreeable to his tillicums. He
keeps double covered carriage and fine
span OF horses. and drives into Pasco in
state, putting up his team at the livery
stable with instructions that he wants
his horses taken care OF same as white
man" He buries his money and is fond
of unearthing and counting it over be-
fore his tillicums. At one time he
was known to count out $4,000 in
$50 gold pieces. Shortly afterwards
he sent his son to bring him $500,
and upon investigation, 10 md be-
hold, the gold was missing! They say
tho chief is much worried over his
loss and has a detective employed to
try and trace up the thief, and believes
he has some hope OF recovering it.
When he comes to Walla Walla he
ferries across Snake river and drives
over in his carriage or rides one OF his
horses, the latter being his favorite way
of travelling, true Indian style. With
all his wealth and good, comfortable
house. he has his tepee and prefers
living in it.

Recently there has been some
talk, which was probably quite idle,
of visit Of the Emperor of Ger
many to the republic Of Switzer-
land. 1t has been asserted that no
German emperor had ever made a
tour through Switzerland; but this
is not the case, since the Emperor
Joseph III. of Austria, who in his
time was entitled to be called Ger
man emperor, visited Switzerland
in TIT, much us Peter the Great of
Russia visited Holland-to learn
wisdom of the people.
The Emperor Joseph during this
visit refused to receive official hon.
ors, and went about as a private
person. An incident among many
of his experiences is well worth re-
lating.
At a village in the canton of Sol
othun the emperor put up at a
country inn for dinner. "A meal
was served him which was lacking
in some Of the elements of good
dinner. He made no complaint,

to the plow with trembling fingers.
"Oh, Billy boy" she said. 1--WE
must save the babies!"
And Billy whinnied uneasily as
he looked, with dilating nostrils
and quivering ears, away to the
flame-shot clouds of smoke advanc-
ing so steadily upon them.
Ii was hard work-cruelly hard
for the young girl to hold the
heavy plow in place, and to guide
the nettlesome young horse; but
she dared not stop, and at last it
was finished. A broad belt of
newly plowed land encircled q
generous acre, in the center of
which stood the buildings. And
the flames went roaring by on
either side, and left them all un-
harmed.
Mr.. and Mr.. Moody drove over
the blackened prairie with white
faces. They had no hope of find
ing any living thing. But they
saw Tildy's furows; they saw the
homely little house; they heard
Billy's welcoming whinny, and,
hurrying into the house, they saw
Tidy laying the table for tea.
Baby Florence was clinging to
