A Hearse His Family Carriage.

Indians can be induced to buy
anything when they have money, y
said G. L. Seuter. "At Waggoner,
I. T., l saw family of Indians,
dressed in the brightest colors and
the brave, with stovepipe hat, rid
ing on top of as handsome hearse
as ever saw. Upon inquiry
learned that he had received a consid-
cradle sum of money few months
before and made up his mind that he
wanted some fine blankets for his
family and carriage. The agent to
whom he went for the vehicle showed
him a catalogue, and the picture of a
hearse struck the red man as the
finest thing there was there. 1t cost
81, 600, but the Indian had the money
and cared nothing for the expense,
so the grewsome equipage is now
common sight in that locality, with
the family riding on top."-Cincin-
natl Enquirer. '

The Portland Telegram has the following

Down at the government jetty the work
is being pushed as rapidly as possible. The
contractors who were awarded the work of

Monday week ago, the frat bargeloads

It Sounds Like Long Drawn Out Chorus
of Wailins Fiends.
On graduating from West Point /
joined my regiment at a bleak post
far out on the frontier. One cold
winter night not many months after,
when the snow was piled deep on
mountain and in valley and creaked
noisily at each step of the heavy arc.
tic overshoes we were obliged to
wear, l was trudging wearily around
the post, making my last inspection
Of the sentinels as officer of the guard.
Suddenly, from just across the pa
rade and directly behind the line of
officers quarters, there came short,
sharp bark, followed by several more
in quick succession, the time growing
faster and the pitch higher until in
q moment they all ran together in
one long drawn and lugubrious howl
Then the noise stopped, but before
1 could recover breath it began again
in the same way as before, only loud
er and in more wailing tone, until !
it seemed as if a chorus of fiends was
lamenting the invasion of their
haunts by the white man.
We were in the heart of the Indian
country, and thinking the unusual
noise was the signal for a midnight
attack l was about to run back to
the guardhouse, turn out the guard
and arouse the garrison, when
sharp "Who comes there2" warned
me that 1 was approaching senti-
mel. After had been duly advanced
this man proved to be an old soldier
of my own company, who had prob
ably enlisted not many years after l
was born. 1t occurred to me that it
would do no harm to see if he knew
what the noise was, especially as he
seemed totally undisturbed by it.
Higgins, did you hear that yell
ing across the paradea"
''Yes, sor"
Here I thought I saw the beginning
of a grin at the corners of his mouth,
and in consequence became very dig
nifed.
What was it, Higgins2"
Nothing but coyotes, sor."
Here the grin became unmistaka-
BILE and had to be checked with "a
stern glance.
"But, Higgins, if that noise was
made by coyotes, there must have
been a hundred, and l would have
seen them on the snow"
Begging the looten'nt's pardon,
sor, 1 think there wuz only two"
About this time 1 recalled what
the older officers had told me about
coyotes, and with a disgusted air l
continued my rounds. = st. Louis

t.ow hings Feed.

In the courts of Berlin, Stuttgart
Rome, Lisbon, Stockholm, Munich
and Dresden the table is run on what
may be called the hotel system. That
is to say, the principal chef is allowed
so much per head per diem for all the
members of the family and for those
of the household who are of gentle
birth, and another fixed sum per
diem and per head is allowed for each
person of menial station. The price
for food of hesovereigns, their fami-
hes and guests averages about $s a
day, while the sum allowed for serv-
ants is about 1925. When it is borne
in mind that the number of persons
fed at these rates often reaches as
many as 500 in single day, the pos
sible profit; of chefs commission
can be imagined. In this price wine
is not included, and as the profits in
this are even greater than from the
food many of the masters of the
royal kitchens of Europe are richer
than the average guests of their soy
ereigns. s.-New YorksAdvertiser
