But you see we wasn't satisfied, though 1t

And We said We thought the country would be

And We rallied about the tariff. and we blowed

Well, q change was what We wanted. and We

CHIEF OF THE COMANCHES.
Romantic Story of Ouanah Parker and
His White Mother.

Quanah Parker is chief of the
Comanches Years ago wagon train
was attacked in Texas by the raiding
one infant girl killed. She was raised
by the chief and married his son, who,
at the death of his father, was also
chief. The rangers defeated the In
dians in battle and captured the
woman and her infant child. She could
only talk Comanche and had al
most lost all resemblance to the white
race. She was taken to her people, but
she lonyed for her Indian home and
her husband. and soon pinned away and
died. The child was put at school and
was being raised as a white child. He
was called by the name his mother was
always saying, ''Ouanah," the name Of
his father. bitter warfare was dur
ing all this time kept up unremittingly.
1t is history that there was always
war on the border. At length they
succeeded in recapturing this child.
He was much more like white person
in looks than his mother, after her long
captivity, and he also had the ways and
chief when his father died and has
been for a number of years He held
the surname of his mother. having an
Indian given name and an English sur.
name. Owing to his education and his
mothers treatment while with them,
he has always been friendly to the
whites. He has done much to make
peace, and is trying to civiIize his tribe.
He favors and works hard with his
people for allotment in severalty of
their lands. and the sale of the surplus
to the government He recognizes the
advantages to his people from contact
with the white man, and if the
Comanches ever amount to anything in
civilization il will be due to the efforts
of Quanah Parker.-Little Rock Ga

Perhaps not. but just listen" My
friend arose from his chair and walked
briskly across the room. whereupon
there ensued a tumult of squeaking
and shrieking from the soles of his
shoes that much resembled the groan-
ing of prairie wagon crossing the
plains.

Craggs. because they had cork soles

WATER COLOR SKETChlNG
Directions to the Amateur How to Prepare
for Work.


for Work.
The sketch for a water color should
be light and made with hard pencil
A soft pencil leaves black dust which
will darken the washes. To avoid this
a silver pencil is sometimes used; the
soft gray mark is easily covered. Any
erasures may be made with small par.
ticles of bread. Do not use rubber,
as it will either glaze or roughen the
paper and thus prevent the washes from
flowing evenly.
teresting and the most easily managed
for the first attempts 1t is good
plan to arrange few flowers which
are to be sketched in a small-necked
bottle filled with fresh water.
A small piece of charcoal dropped
into the water will keep the
flowers fresh for several DAYS,
giving ample time to study them. Frail
blossoms. that are apt to drop their Pc
tails if disturbed. may be made to last
for several days by applying a little
liquid glue to the base of the flower
with a small. soft brush.
When sketch of flowers has been
made. and carefully corrected until
satisfactory. give the surface of the pa
per light wash of clean water. being
careful to exactly follow the penciled
outline, for the color. when applied

the wash. As one can not always con-
troll the washes until after n great deal
of practice it will be best not to at
tempt a background at first. For
flower studies the backgrounds are
often mere shadow suggestions. vet
they add much to the effect.-N. Y. Re

A Partitioned Party.

1t is q strange but manifest and in
disputable fact that the democracy,
despite its hundred years of existence.
is not q national party in the strict
sense of that designation, and never
has been. One section of it is contin ual-
~ making war on the other section or
is being warred against by them.
There IS far less divergence IN sentl-
ment and purpose between the New
York and New England democrats and
the repu b.ican party of the whole coun-
try on the general finance and income
tax questions than there is between the
democrats named and those of Illinois,
Missouri. South Carolina and kentucky.
On the great issues of the day the de-
mocracy is as radically and as hopeless-
" divided as it was on the tariff two
thirds of q century ago and since. on
the United States bank Question half
q century ago and over and on slavery
in that and later day. The democra-
cy's conflict on the slavery question
produced an armed rupture in the
country third of . century ago along
lines of latitude. and the threats and
wranglings of its statesmen in the
present crisis seem almost TO mean
that they desire to force . separation
now along lines of part latitude and
part lougitude-St Louis Globe.Oem-

INDIAN PATIENCE.
Though ImprOvident. He Endures Hunger
BraveIv for His Children.

The Indians are a patient and clan
nish people: their love for one another
is stronger than that of any civilized
people l know. If this were not so. l
believe there would have been tribes of
cannibals among them. White people
have been known to kill and eat their
companions in preference to starving;
but Indians-never. In times of fam
inc the adults denied themselves a fair
meal in order to make the food last as
long as possible for the children. who
were not able to bear hunger as well
as the old. As a people they can go
without food much longer than any
other nation.
hard springs when we had nothing to
eat for several days. well remember
the SIX small birds which constituted
the breakfast for six families one
morning, and then we had no
dinner or supper to follow it
What a relief that was To me
although l had only small
wing of a small bird for my share!
Soon after this we came 20 region
soon forgot all the suffering we had
just gone through.
Such was the Indians wild life.
When game was plenty and the sun
shone graciously upon them tley for
got the bitter experiences of the win
ter before. Little preparation was
made for the future. They are chill
dren of nature. and occasionally she
whips them with the lashes of expert
ence: yet they are forgetful and care
less Much of their suffering might
have been prevented by little calcu-
luton. During the summer. when ma
ture was at her best and provided
abundantly for the savage. it seemed
to me that no life was happier than
his! Food was free: lodging free:
everything free. All were alike rich
in the summer: and again. all were
alike poor in the winter and early
spring. Their diseases were fewer
and were not So destructive as now.
and the Indians health was generally
good.-St. Nicholas
