the south, whence they believe they
originally came. A person who has
been murdered by one of their own
tribe IS always buried face down with
fat piece of pork or bacon in the
mouth to prevent the spirit Of the muir
dered person from soaring the game
from that section. A kettle of food is
sometimes placed at children's graves.
Girls eat the food out of it at girls
graves and boys at boys.
The scalplock is cut of, hung up In
the lodge and considered keeping the
ghost" Formerly these Indians buried
m tree or on a platform. and burial
IN the ground was disgrace They
even sometimes carried the dead
body of person with them on their
journeys The most cruel mourning is
practiced The squaws hack themselves
to pieces with stone hints until they
are covered with blood. The braves run
sharpened sticks through their flesh I'M
til the scene is fairly sickening. A sin
gle scalp avenges the death and stops
the mourning. While they mourn they
never laugh, wash or comb their hair.
They also have what is known as the
ghosts gamboL" The Minnataree In
dams, of Dakota, cut off their fingers
for the dead till the whole ground is
strewn with them. They are invari-
ably buried in a green blanket though
they never wear green when living.

English Farm Hands.

When, as rarely happens, English
farm laborers come TO this country, they
End it extremely difficult to accorlmo-
date themselves to the current American
custom of eating but three meals day
An English maid servant and nurse who
lived to be more than a hundred years
old averred that she had always been
accustomed to "a dew bit and break
fast, stay bit and dinner, nommet,
a crummet, and bit after supper"
Extra meals are common enough during
the harvest season in this country. The
hasty breakfast at half-past three in the
morning is followed by stay Bit at
eight o'clock and by luncheon be-
tween the MONDAY dinner and the
after-sunset supper. In parts OF south
ern Pennsylvania the dinner hour is
eleven o'clock IN the morning, and it
would not be difficult to show that
Americans living on the same meridian
are dining ali the way from that hour
until seven in the evening. The great
mass of country folk still dine at noon.

BUTLER AND THE CLERGY
Sensation Crested by the Cover

How the Whole State OF Massachusetts
Was Convulsed by Neat Little
Trick of the Chief TX
ecutiye.

~ see old Ben Buffers gone at last"
said Maj Edward Downing. OF Boston,
to a st. Louis Globe Democrat man
Let me tell you story on the old
man that has never been printed; at
least. if it has | never have heard of it
You know one of our greatest holidays
in Massachusetts, is Fast day, aod it
comes along in April 1t is the duty of
the governor to issue proclamation
setting the day and exhorting the citi-
zens of the state to lay aside all their
earthly pursuits and devote the day to
fasting and prayer Well, when Ben
was governor he had mighty hard row
to hoe. There were all sorts of editors
in the state who laid for him with a
scalping-knife up their sleeves night and
dav. and no opportunity TO make life a
nightmare to him was ever overlooked.
The same feeling was INDUCED in by
men of high standing in other profess
sions, too, clergymen among the rest
Well, when old Ben's proclamation
came out 1t was beauty. ItwouDd up
with special exhortation to the clergy
to the effect that they devote their time
TO the welfare of the spiritual man and
refrain from INDUCING their curiosities
IN the family affairs OF the men and
women of their congregations and look
to it that in their teachings their own
souls were free from faint That proc
lamation created sensation 1t shook
the staid old state of Massachusetts
from end TO end. The papers every

coarse, brutal and profane. They ac-
cused him of being everything that was
disagreeable; no Official in the history of
the world had ever dared to assail the
clergy in the wanton manner that Gov.
Butler had On the following Sunday
the ministers had their fling at the old
war horse, and right merrily did they
roast him The old man kept perfectly
quiet and good natured through it all,
never losing his temper or vouchsafnS
anything in the shape of an explana-
ton. After every body had had their
say, and a whole lot was said, too, the
old man came out with u statement
and the copy to show it, too
that lnasmueh as he was not expert
enced in such matters he had copied
word for word, the proclamation of one
of the first governors of the common
wealth, I've forgotten which one. but
in such high esteem was he held that he
was almost ssinted. Butler showed TO
the satisfaction of everybody that the
only change he had made in the orig
inal document was to fix the date and
substitute his own name for that of the
original That ticl1led the old man
probably as much as anything in his
life, but there was an awfully crestfallen
lot of editors and clergyman in the old
Bay state for long time after that.
The old man had caught them fairly,
and there was no way for them to get

The Dead should stay Below.

Many stories have been told Of
Rogers, the banxer-poet, and his cadav-

and, we think. new one, Is that which

By a passage which opened into one of

PROGRESS IN BURGLARY.

Safo-Crackins Has Become a Science and
the Jimmy Is Obsolete.
Burglary is trade. 1t has it's tricks,
its tools, and its ups and downs. 1t is
a trade which, according to the ST.
Louis Globe-Democrat, is continually
changing and improving. Methods of
high-class burglars that were in vogue
twenty years ago are hardly known
now. The thief's Jimmy" is out of
date. Safe-blowing has given way to
safe-cracking. Four or five men, with
a few sticks of dynamite, rob train
nowadays as easily as twenty men,
armed to the teeth, did it dozen years
ago. But in spite of the changes the
motto of all low-grade crooks is: ''The
way to steal is TO steal" They en-
brace every opportunity, and steal
whenever they can, often making a
bnngling job and getting nipped. After
a few terms in the penitentiary, how
ever, they are no longer low-grade
crooks, but have become educated pro-
fessionals. The penitentiary is their
school. There they are taught all the
improvements of the trade" and there
many burglars devices are invented by
brainy but vicious men.

On February the end the AL G. Field
Ministries will hold the boards at the
Crawford. They everywhere present an
entertainment not less brilliant than that
which has so frequently delighted the met
ropolis with its completeness. For years
they have enjoyed the enviable distinction
of being among the best, and their hold on
public esteem and confidence was never
stronger than at the present time, due to
the care they have always successfully ex-
ercised in making their entertain ment as
refined as it is clever and amusing. Lovers
OF good music and wholesome fun should
avail themselves of this opportunity and
see Americas representative MINISTRIES, as
this will be their only appearance here

FROM PRIVATE TO PRESIDENT.
Interesting Career Of the Woe President
OF Switzerland.

Interesting Career Of the Woe President
OF Switzerland
A bit Of history connected with the
life of Emil Frey, who was recently
elected vice president of the Swiss re-
public, will interest both officers and
ex-offcers of the army.
When the civil war began IN the
United States young Frey was at g
university in Switzerland, and being
moved with patriotic impulse to aid a
struggling sister republic he came TO
this country, went direct to the Swiss
colony in Illinois and enlisted as pri-
vate in the Twenty-eighth Illinois
volunteers,
The Army and Navy Journal says
that he served with his regiment until
he resigned as second lieutenant on
June IT, 1862, to raise a company for
the Eighty-second Illinois, in which he
served as captain until mustered out
with it, June, 1885, having served about
four years and constantly in the field.
He was taken prisoner with part Of
the Eleventh corps at Gettysburg July
/. 1868, and for long time was held as
hostage under sentence OF Qeatn- ana
after his release was brevetEed major
for gallant and meritorious services
At the close of the war he returned
to Switzerland, where he obtained the
rank next to the commander in chief. and
was eles,ed 20 the Swiss federal council
and served in the cabinet,
He revisited this country as the FIRST
envoy extraordinary and minister
pleniPotentiary from Switzerland to the
United States, serving through the ad-
ministrations of Presidents Garfield,
Arthur and Cleveland
The next step of this ez-privste OF the
federal army of the United States is,
according to the custom Of Switzerland,
from that of vice president to president
of a European republic.
