No More Yarns About Indiana.

There is an advertising man in De-
troit, we'll known for his hustle, who has
a pretty pair of children that come hon
estly by a desire to get all the fun OBJ
tainable as they pass through this pro-
stationary state. 1t is the habit of the
father to regale the little ones with blood
curdling Indian stories, for which they
have the same Unsuitable desire as the
nickle novel fiend for his choice style of
literature. The moral of each of these
wonderful relations by the head of the
family is that the Indian. with all his
warwhooping and ghost dancing, cares
for good little children and scalps those
who are bad. This bothered Teddy, the
3-year-old, considerably, and he finally
determined on a council of war with his
little sister. From all the evidence that
their wise little heads could get together,
they concluded that they were bad chill
dren and decided to anticipate any old
Indian that might come stalking around
after them by doing their own scalping.
Teddy promptly went at sisters golden
locks with the family shears, sacrificed
her bangs and waded ruthlessly through
her hair. Then she reciprocated, and
nobody ever saw two such heads. SCARED
over with hicks, ridges, ks" and tufts
that suggested the joint efforts of a Fee
ice barber and a modern knife thrower.
The mother simply sat down on the floor
and wept scalding tears. The father
| kicked himself around the mile circuit,
and the precious little youngsters in
sisted that they were only playing In
dian. That household now draws the
line on Indian yarns. Detroit Free

A SHRUNKEN HERD.
Failure to Account for 25O
 Cattle.
The Narratives Related by the Cow boys are not Monotonous-
 ly Alike.

J. II. Canavan of Sentinel, sagain in Tempe co receive cattle from his ranch and range in the vicinity of Globe 10 be placed on the alfalfa here. The cattle are driven over by contract at so much head with a proviso that not less than 800 head be brought at one time. Capt. Adams, who with three assistants had been for the past twenty days rounding up and driving, arrived at noon on Thursday with l50 head, the remnant of a herd of 400, they started with from Globe.
 Upon arrival Canavan ordered the cattle turned into apasture which had previously been spoken for, but the hired help refused to turn the cattle ever until Adams paid them for their work. The cattle were held until noon yesterday, when under threat of having the sheriff deliver the cattle, they were turned over. In the meantime, a bill for supplies bought of K. F. Kellner to the amount of sl57 arrived and Adams asked Canavsn to pay it first and give him the balance ot money due, which he proposed to divide pro rata among the cowboys. This arrangement did not suit the boys and the cattleman will await an amicable settlement be- fore paying either of the accounts.
 Just how 250 head of cattle could leak out of herd of 400 in driving little more than hundred miles is not de- finitely known as each man tells diff ferent tale, but perhaps the more cor. rect theory is indicated by the bill of supplies in which the larger item is for such liquids as "Old Crow" and" Mumm extra dry" that was evidently brought along to lessen the danger from rattle snakes, which are said to be quite numerous on the desert along the trail.
