A RICH REDSKIN.
Wolf, Chief of the PalOuse Indians, Has
Land, Horses and Many Gold Pieces.

WOLF, Cn1e1 OF the IalOuSe indians, Has
Land, Horses and Many Gold Pieces.
Residing at a place on the Snake
River known as Fishhook Bend, lives
the wealthiest Indian of his tribe,
Wolfe, chief of the Palouse Indians.
He owns 100 acres of land, all under
cultivation, with good house and barn,
and we'll 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 shipping 5000 head and at another
1900. He is 40 years Of age, but looks
much younger, and has a physique that
many wealthy paleface might envy
Withall, he is widower, having already
lost two "klootchman." He tells, with
pomp and pride, says the Walla Walla
Wash. Statesman, of his trip to Wash
ington; how he visited the 'big house,"
as he expresses it, and his being pre-
scented to the "big man" at the "big
house," and of his photograph being
there.
His interpreter tells of his fascination
for pretty paleface, and of his offer of
many horses if she would share his
couch and honors. He also tells of the
attention His Royal Highness received
ment the big chief seemed to derive
therefrom. Wolf dresses in Indian
costume, with red blanket thrown
artistically over one shoulder and cal
leo 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
incIose his feet, and his hair
is cut with Modoc bang and combed
pompadour, 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, the ends Of which are bound
with red silk. Another favorite head
gear with him is simply the rim of a
hat decorated all round with coyote
tails; this he wears upon state occasions.
Upon his wrists he wears ten Or twelve
brass wire bracelets.
He is said to possess most amiable
disposition, being always pleasant and
agreeable to his tillicums. He keeps a
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
before his tillicums. At one time he
was known to count out $1,000 in $40
gold pieces. Shortly afterward he sent
his son to bring him $500, and upon in
vestigation, 10 and behold, the gold was
missing. They say the chief was much
worried over his loss, anG has de-
tective employed. to try and trace up
the thief, and believes he has hopes 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 traveling-the true Indian style.
With all his wealth and good, comforta-
BILE house.. he has his tepee, and pre-
fers living in it.

Balloon Stories.

"Mr. Blifkins," said the managing
editor severely, "your services are no
longer needed"
Mr. Blifk tried to look resigned,
but he felt compelled to venture the
question, Nothing the matter with my
work, hope ?"
Eyes, there is" snarled his late
superior, "You write too many balloon
stories"
postulated Mr.. Blifkins. 81 never
wrote balloon story in my fife. /"
'Mr. Blifkins," the managing editor
interrupted, with frown that indicated
that ne was not to be corrected. "Mr.
Blif kins," he repeated tartly, 81 say
you do write balloon stories. They're
all full of wind"
And Mr. Blif kins was too sh ocked to
eply.-Kansas City Times.

A Live Toad in a HailstOne.

A hailstorm visited Pawtucket about
10 o'clock Saturday evening, such as has
not visited this vicinity for years, ifwith-
in the memory of man. One woman
picked up hailstone and allowed it to
melt in her hand. She thought some
thing was inside the little piece of frozen
rain, but was surprised to find when all
had melted a little live toad or frog in
her had. There is quite general belief
that great many pebbles came down
with the hail.-Providenc Journal

Dangers Of Cat kissing.

The ladies who with perverted affec-
ton kiss their cats and lap dogs may be
interested in learning the results of
Sig. Fiocca' examination of the saliva
of these animals That of the cat is
especially rich in all sorts of minute ba-
cilli, and contains new form seldom
absent, and so fatal that rabbits and
guinea pigs inoculated with it died in
twenty-four hours. The dogs saliva
contains an even greater number of bac-
terra, some of them of particularly
disagreeable character, plus occasional
f1ukes and the eggs of intestinal worms.
Nor is the horse free from these death
dealing organisms. For among the di-
verse "bacilli, streptococci, and spiril-
la," in it's saliva were three forms of a
noxious scription.-Londo1a Chronicle.
Our Rapid Transitory Existence
Is brief enough without our shortening it by
seeking medical aid, when we are somewhat
unwell, from sources where it is only obtainable
with great risk. Even if the old doctrine were
true that violent diseases require violent reme-
dies, it does not follow that drastic purgatives,
narcotics, powerful "sedatives" of the nervous
system are advisable in cases where slight dis
orders manifestly call for the use of milder
means of recovering, involving no subsequent
danger, but equally efficient Hostetter's Stom-
ach Bitters not only relieves but ultimately and
completely relieves disorders of the stomach,
liver, bowels and nerves. 1t is a genuine tonic,
BEAUTIFULLY stimulates the kidneys, is a thorough
Alternative, and most effectual preventive OF
chills and fever and bilious remittent The ut
most confidence can be reposed in the purity and
safety of its medicinal ingredients.

Making Billiard Balls.

1t does not look reasonable that six to
twelve months should be needed to
make 4 billiard ball, but a first-class ball
cannot be made in less time. owing to
the tendency of carved ivory TO shrink.
If it shrank equally ball could be cut
and polished in few hours, but it does
not, the shrinking being greater in the
direction of the width than of the length
Of the tusk. A ball must thus be rough
ly shaped, then kept for number OF
months until the shrinking process has
been completed, when the fine cutting
and polishing may be done.

for that reason is most unpalatabe

panies, and by order of the War Department
was reduced 10 10 companies and the last five

Capt. Parks served his country continuously
from April 49, 1861, till July Is, 1866, in the
three-months three-years and veteran volun-
teer service, and his several promotions on the
field evidences the appreciation Of his patriot
ism and service. He participated in every
skirmish and engagement in which his reg-
ment was engaged, and no command has
pr0uder record than the 2Sth and 147th Pa,
which was always side by side in the First
Brigade. Second Division, Twentieth Corps.

ance the housewives FIRST care is the beautify-
ing of the open fireplace which, during the
Winter months, with it's glowing logs, gave to
the apartment such a delightful air Of home

is a silken-cOvered basket holding fern or

this screen will be rendered doubly pretty by

here in Milwaukee in 1859. OF course, the
financial situation kept the attendance down
somewhat, but there was big crowd never
theless. The election of Capt. Adams was most
harmonious, and business was so well dis
patched that we were able to proceed to tho
election Of Commander-in-C Chief during the
first session. There was not the least feeling
over the selection, Gen. Hursts withdrawal
