TRYING THE suRFEIr CURE.

One Fathers Experience with Tt as = REM
edy for the Ice Cream Habit,
when I was a youngster,N said Mr..
BOzEie, II used to wonder how the con-
fectioners could make any money. 1t
always seemed to me that the clerks
would eat so much candy that they
would eat up all the profits.
ST remember reading or hearing later
that this was not so; that when new
clerk came into the store the proprietor
would say:
Now, hope you viii eat all the
candies You want; don't hesitate to
help yourself at any time, and that the
result was that at the end of the week
she was so sick and tired of candy that
She hated the sight of it, and didn't
want any more for a year.
This, l suppose, might be called the
surfeit cure.
After ] had grown up and come to
have family I remembered this, and
thought / might turn the idea to ad-
vantage. had four children, and the
amount of money they spent for ice
cream and candy and soda water was
something awful.
II thought that by spending in a
lump enough money TO make them
tired of these things 7 might in the
long run make a considerable saving.
So I set aside a thousand dollars for
that purpose, and one day / said to my
oldest child:
'''Tillie, 1 don't think you and the
children are beginning 10 have the ice
cream and candy that you ought to
have. ! am afraid you think because
papa isn't very rich that you must
skimp yourselves about those things,
but you needn't; you can have all the
money you want for them. Here's fifty
dollars. Now, I wish you'd take the
children out and get some ice cream
and candy, and whenever that money
Is gone just let me know, and I'll give
you more
''Well, they used up that thousand
dollars in about ten weeks, and at the
end of that time they were as hungry
for ice cream and candy as ever.
Il kept up the supply of money. I
was like the gambler who keeps on
playing after he has lost a lot, in the
hope that his luck viii turn,

feiting point at any minute, and it
seemed too bad to make dead loss of
the money already invested. when per-
haps the expenditure of few dollars
more would accomplish the desired re-
suit; SO have kept on.
but the children's appetite for ice
cream and candy seems actually to in
crease. They tell me / am so good;
and that, Of course is something; I like

hard earned money is melting away

surfeit cure is a delusion, if not a
snare. IN. Y. Sun.

This old "One-eyed Monster" stole
out of the Indian camp with his braves
during the dark hours of the preceding
night; and, after accommodating the
surroundings of the soldiers encampment
they secreted themselves at point near
the old Government road leading to
Yellow Medicine. Here, they lay in
wait until the following morning, in
search of stragglers and plumber.
Luckily for tho command, the first
soldiers to pass their place of hiding was
a squad of twenty-four veterans from
the Third Minnesota Infantry.
The men of this regiment had partici

evening before where they could get a
quantity ofpotatoes and other vegetables
in the deserted settlement near the en-

out about sunrise with couple of mule
teams to replenish their stock of provis-
ions. They went upon their own re-
sponsibility. While Major WEIGH, thell
commander, had notice of their going
he neither gave his consent nor forbade
their starting out. They started early
in order to be able to load up the
wagons and join the command before its
columns reached the Yellow Medicine

The battle ragged during the greater
portion OF the forenoon and the Indians
fought with courage and desperation
never before witnessed. But as it was
an open fight where the savages could
not gain any temporary advantages,
they were soon defeated.
The philosophy of the Indian warriors
is to Kill their enemies and not get killed
themselves, and in order to carry out this
plan OF action they will almost invariably
lie in wait for favorable opportunities
to present themselves before making an
attack. Little Crows plan to entrxp

displayed by him'-while experimenting
the firing of one Of Captain Hendricks,
old cacnons-during the cattle of Wood
Lake. The battle OF Wood Lake was an
important factor in the Indian war. It
was the first time the Indians had
attacked large body of we'll organized
men on the open prairies; and their utter
discontinue demonstrated the fact that
with all their courage and Boosting, they
could not successfully cope with the
white man in battle, even with superior
force. This battle was not decisive
one, for it did not prevent the necessity
of an expedition and campo ign to the
Missouri river the next summer, but it
was important in it's results.
It's effect on the different bands of
Sioux Indians within the borders of
Minnesota was demoralizing to the
utmost degree. Causing them to break
up into factions and remnants; when
the more moderate and peaceful sued
for peace and the hostile bands were
forced to seek refuge from danger in
the land of the Dakotas. The smoke
had scarcely blown from the field of
battle before flags of truce were seen
futtering in the breeze and negotiations
were being made for the surrender of
large force of Indians and the release of
tho white captives.
The command remained in camp at
Wood Lake during the day succeeding
the battle, and buried the soldiers that
we're slain by the Indians.
On the following day, September 25th,
the forces resumed their march, crossed
the dread valley of the Yellow Medicine,
and passed through the deserted ruins
of tho Upper Agency. On the Goth, Red
Irons deserted village was passed; and,
ere long the great friendly Indian village
where the white captives we've kept
was reached. It was situated on the
south side of the Minnesota river
| opposite the mouth Of the Chippewa,
about 26 miles above Wood Lake. The
command pitched their tents near the
Indian village, and gave the historic and
appropriate name for their camp, the
name of Scamp Release" Here, they
secured the surrender of fifteen hundred
Indians; the release of 1875 half-breed
Indian prisoners, one white man; and,

They we're moving out on the high
prairie west of camp when up sprang
ten or fifteen warriors from their hiding
place in their advance, uttering their
unearthly warwhoops and firing at the
men in the wagons, killing one and
wounding several others.
Old Ink-pa-du-ta had divided his
forces, and instructed his warriors in the
rear to fire upon the soldiers and turn
them back. Then as they retreated
past the main body of his secreted
braves he intended to murder them all
in sight of their comrades and beat a
hasty retreat back to the Yellow Medi.
cine river.
By performing this strategic feat the
gasconading old reprobate reasoned that
he could crafty his selfish vanity by
committing the audacious act of killing
the detached soldiers in sight of the
whole command and draw their enraged
comrades out after him into the ambush
laid for them in the dark valley of the
Yellow Medicine. And, by this covert
act he hoped to be able to gain notoriety
among the hostile bands and eclipse the
rising star of Little Crow, as the great
Sycamore of the confederated tribes of
the northwest.
But his scheme did not work; instead
of hastily retreating tn disorder, the old
vererans N the foregoing detachment
faced about, leaped to the ground, and
poured a deadly fire into the ranks of the
advancing Indians, driving them back
out of range of their guns.

ment mon rushed for their arms and in a
few moments we're being led by Major
Welch, heir brave commander, on the

attacked comrades. Reaching the scene

du-ta and his braves from their hiding
place, and joining their comrades on the
brow OF the hill. The Indians we're
routed from the position they had taken
and we're gradually driven back along
the old government road in the direction
of Yellow Medicine. Soon the horizon
in the west became picturesque with the
outlines of approaching Indians. Little
Crows legions we're Fastening up to
take part in the great battle. They
came up in front of the advanced line OF
the third regiment, awaited their
approach, -whooping and yelling like
demented rabbie. During the wild hurry

Of mounted Indians rode up rapidly ana
assembled rising piece of ground over

of them-who proved to be Little Crow

and, swinging his blanket above his

whoop.
Answering yells rang out and echoed
along the surrounding hills and hun

FISHES THAT FIGHT.
Inhabitants Of tho Waters In Siam and
South America That Delight In Combat.

So aggressive is the plakat, little
fish from Siam, that the entertainments
it affords has become national pas
time, but not very creditable one,
to say the least. The fishes are train
ed to 60 through regular battles and
are reared artiticially for the purpose,
while tho license to exhibit them to
the general public is farmed out and
brings large amount of money into
the royal Golfers. ..a.s !,
They are kept in aquariums built
for the purpose and fed upon the
larvae of mosquitoes, and every posi-
BILE care is taken of them. Several
years ago few of them were presented
to an Englishman by the king of Siam.
When the fish is in quiet state, with
the fins at rest, the dull colors are not
all remarkable. But if two are brought
together or within sight of each other,
or even it one secs its own image in q
looking-glass, tn little creature, says
the Pittsburg Dispatch, becomes sud-
denly excited. ... r.. H..
The fms are raised and the whole
body shines with q metallic lustre and
colors of dazzling beauty, while the
HAOSOSVAAS SAA AA0Iu OIduCts W8VluS
like black frill round the throat,
makes grotesque the general apppar-
ance. In this state of irritation it
makes repeated darts at its real or re-
dected antagonist. If now two are
placed together in a tank they rush at
each other with the utmost fury. The
battle is kept on until one is killed or
put to flight, but not until they are
entirely separated does the victor shut
his gaudy fins, that like flags of war
are never lowered until peace has been
declared. ..... ...@t
In South America there is small
fish that not only attacks its fellows Of
the sea and river, but is greatly dread
ed by the natives, who, during cer-
tain seasons, have to ford the streams
in which the carbitos is found. Bathers
are often attacked by them, the sharp,
chisel-shaped teeth taking a bite from
the flesh wherever they attack. They
are perfect scavengers, eating the ami
mails that float down the river, dead or
alive.
