CHAPTER V.
Old Curran, the sutler-for suffer he
was long years before his designation
was changed to post trader, and longer
still before his occupation was wiped
out entirely by the civilizing process
which made bartenders Of "blue-coats''
old Curran had been losing money
oil winter, and was growing about 1t.
He looked to the payment following
the April muster to recoup him for his
losses, as many good soldier was deep
in his books. The payment should have
been made in May, but for some rea-
son it was postponed, possibly in order
that the paymaster might make the
circuit of the Gordon of posts in the
bright weather of early June; but q
pack of young rascals and malcontents
at the Indian reservation had been
turbulent all spring. and no sooner
was the snow out of the Mini Ska val-
ley than the cattle came after the bud
ding grass and the Sioux came after
the cattle. They were hungry, no
doubt-the Sioux sometimes are, de-
spite the fact that they are excellent
of themselves, and the difference be-
tween them and certain tractable and
therefore Systematically ill-treated
tribes is, that when they are not given
what they want they take it. Heaven
helps those who help themselves, and
in their dealings with the wards of the
nation the United States of America
have this resemblance to heaven.
The Sioux helped themselves so liber-
ally to cattle-and herders-this par
ticular spring that Tintop, with six
troops Of his devoted regiment, was
hurried forth to brush them out of the |
Aii1i Ska, and then to go on and help /
some comrades foar hundred miles |
away who were too few in number for
the work in hand To Curran's dis
gust. the battalion marched out leav-
ing its score at the shop unsettled.
Not that the soldiers could help it at
all. but because they themselves were
creditors who couldn't collect. Then,
% Curran's delight, it was announced
that Maj. Graves was sent out by rail

away. Curran rejoicingly set forth to
meet hin and be present at the cere-
nony, and thereby, doubtless, collect a
arge portion OF the dollars due him.

4 Bad Boy Wanted His Good Nature Put
to a Practical Test.
The parents of a youth who makes
things interesting for Buffalo fami-
ly were trying to instill into the young
mans mind the principles of self
sacrifice and generosity and all that
sort of thing. He had been given
some candy that afternoon and had
refused to divide with a little boy who
came to play with him, claiming that
there was no more than he could get
away with himself.
Now, Reg" said the mother, ''you
must not do like that. When Johnny
or any of your other little friends ask
you for some of your candy you must
give them some. You must not be
selfish"
Reg couldn't see things in that light
= His mother labored with him for a
while longer and succeeded in making
no impression whatever. Finally she
said: Suppose you had two bananas
and one of them was smaller than the
other and not SO good. Supposing
your little sister was to ask you fol-
one, which banana would you give
her. the small and poor one or the
best one?"
Reg pondered for minute. Ther
he said: go out and get the banana!
and give me a chance"
That ended the lesson.

One Sunday she noticed n chap

the earnest young teacher had made
up her mind and invited the young
man to become a member of her class.
The stranger blushed slightly with
surprise and probably with pleasure
at the thought of being in the hand

taken q seat, appearing perfectly at
home. The teacher was surprised to
hear the stranger answer all the diff
cult biblical questions with perfect
ease. Finally an amused smile was
observed on the new scholars face.
He began to ask the teacher questions
with which she was tolerably un-
familiar. In desperation the teacher
finally asked the new scholar who he

The deputy clerk in the marriage
bureau at Jacksonville was very, very
busy. Without looking up from his
work he knew there was a colored
couple looking around timidly near
the door and occasionally peeriug
over at the desk where he sat writing.
"Wen, well, want to get married.:
why don't you say SOP" he demanded.
They grinned at each other, then
grinned at the clerk. Then the man
faltered:

"How much?"

said. Then faster than a thunder

tied off the following:
''By virchof thoritof state of Florida

grinning.

IN CONGRESS-.
Chandler Again Attacks the
Dominion Coal Co.
Urges Senate Not to Show Indiffer-
ence 10 Its Good Name
That President Cleveland Showed in Connec-
lion With The Sugar Trust.

WAsuNGToN, Aug. 6.-In the Senate,
Mills offered resolution declaring that in
the revision of national taxation these three
principles should be observed All taxes
are burdens that can only be rightfuily i'm
posed to raise revenue for the support of
the government when taxes are imposed
OF imported goods, the rates should be so
low as not materially to restrict the impor-
tatiop, and in selecting articles to be taxed
only those ready for consumption should he
chosen, all others imported for manufacture
or re-manufacture to be exempt from duty.
The resolution was, at Mills request tenn
porarily laid on the table. conference
was ordered on the deficiency appropriation
bill.
Chandler's resolution for an inquiry into
the facts connected with the organization
and history of the Dominion Coal Company
of Nova Scotia was taken up. Mills moved
an amendment instrucling a special COM
m,tee to inquire whether any officer of the
government or member of Congress is, or
was, interested in the corporation of a COM
pany engaged in mining coal in any states
OF territories of the United States, or any
railroad company engaged in transporting
coal that would come into competition with
kets of the United States, or whether the
influences used to maintain the tariff tax on
coal was for their benefits; also as to
whether the removal Of the duty on coal
would reduce the price to the consumer Of
coal in any part of the United States, and
if so, what parts of the United States would
be so benefited.
The amendment was appended to Mr..
Cbandler's resolution and treated as q
substitute for it. 1t was modified to have
the inquiry made by new select committee
of FIVE, instead of by the Gray select COM
mttee.
White thought the proposed investigation
would be auseless waste of time and money
as there was nothing that gave the Senate
any jurisdiction in the premises, and wit
nesses or supposed witnesses might treat
with contempt the fat of the tigating
committee
Chandler said the senator from Cslifor-
MIA had taken occasion to advertise to the
world that no witness summoned before
committee could BE- compelled to testify.
He had undertaken to tell ii. +. Dimock
of Boston, a director of the Dominion
Coal Company, in Washington, today,
with his pockets filed with certificates
of watered stock, that he was not
obliged to say a single word to the commit

THE viGiLaNI'S DAY.
Shows Her Heels to Britannia and Sataniia
Of cowes. Monday.

Cows, Aug. 6.-The Royal London
Yacht Club regatts for the 1870 guinea
purse competed for by the V gilsnt, Britain
MIA and Satsuita was started promptly at
10 o'clock this morning. The course was
eastward around the Isle of Wight outside
of Normsn fort and the Bembridge ledge
buoy. The yachts crossed the line As fol-
lows Satanits, l0h, 00m. 05s; Britannia,
loh, 00m, 23s; Vigilsnt. l0h, Dom, sos.
The start was a luiiing match in which
the Satanita had the best of it. The Vigi-
liant quickly improved her position and
passed the Britannia. There was good
north northwest bre.ze blowing.
She drew ahead gradually, rounding the
Needles, leading by something more than a
minute. The wind fell almost TO calm,
and the yachts drifted into Totlapd bay
with only about ~ miles more of the course
before them.
From Hurst Point it was estimated that
the Visilsnt was leading by one minute and
35 seconds and that she would probably win
by small margin.
The breeze, still from the southwest, in
ere ased a bit and the racers drew out of
Totlapd bay, and with spinnakers set, ran
through the mouth of the Solent. 1t was
apparent that the Vigilant was going to cap
ture the prize.
The Satanita moved sluggishly. 1t was
not her breeze, and her great hull, pro-
PEELED by less canvas than that carried by
the American sloop, could not hope to keep
up with even the Britannia.
The big cutter was hopelessly astern,
passing Yarmouth. The Nigilant was then
) minutes and 10 seconds ahead of the
Britannia and Is minutes and "a seconds
ahead of the Satania.
The Vigilant finished winner at Sh.,
DIM, 35s., beating the Britannia by S min.
utes and l3 seconds actual time and 6 min
utes and . seconds corrected time.
Spinnakers were set to starboarl on the
run from Yarmouth to Cowes and as she
usually does in light weather, when going
with all kites flying, the Vigilsnt drew
away from the Princes yacht and made a
show of the Satanita.
As on Saturday the whistles of the yachts
and the voices of the multitudes were silen
when the white sloop swept across the line
