When the Indians Were Paid.

Pennington presented gala appear
ance Monday after the bank officials had
cashed checks of the Indians to the
amount of 100000. Every hitching
post was surrounded by ponies. Those
already possessing vehicles drove di-
rectly to the livery stables. Much Curl
osity was felt as to how the Indians
would spend their gold. Their first pur-
chases were made at the fruit and con-
fectionery stores. One squaw quietly
bought a generous allowance of candy,
fruits, nuts. crackers and fifty cents
worth Of chewing gum. Every Indian,
large and small, was soon seen eating or
CARRYING oran~s. In a short time many
Of the men had bought and donned new
suits of clothes. They exhibited a
marked preference III these selections
for navy blue. The squaws meanwhile
were fast reducing the merchants stocks
of blankets, calicoes, etc.
By noon the agricultural implement
houses had sold every style Of vehicle in
their possession, and one merchant had
orders enough for a carload of spring
wagons or :'hacks." Harness men soon
found their stocks nearly cleaned out
by the Indians. Several Of them paid
high prices for horses in the morning,
and during the afternoon many farmers
brought horses to town, which they dis
posed of at terms far beyond their ex-
pectations At noon the Indians eager
ly sought the hotels for dinner. The
squaws seemed to retain complete con-
troll Of the purses. The black eyed
maiden purchased the highest priced
hat in millinery store.
An old squaw selected a new cart,
and paid $3.50 for horse. She then pur-
chased new harness and stored away
numerous packages under the seat, after
which she tied the poor, little, tagged
cayuse pony ION which she had come to
town. behind, spread new blanket over
her lap and turned her high checked
spirited horse toward the mission. By
o'clock a long line of new buggies,
wagons and carts we'll laden with every
conceivable article of merchandise
wound its way over the mountain to the
mission. The Indians were quiet, Or
derby and dignifedly polite. Their con-
fdence in the townspeople was evident,
as when they emerged from the bank
with their large sacks of money they
sat Oh the street corners to count it.
The happy father of several pappooses
retired with his abundant supply to an
alley, where he sat composedly counting
it out.-Cor. Seattle (Wash.) Post-Intel-

The Society Tie Preferred.

On the corner of Fifth and Hampshire
streets shortly after noon the other Cay
stood for few minutes Mr. William Kerr,
of Creston, In. He is silver haired gen.
tleman of probably sixty or sixty-fiv and
is brother-ip-law of Mr.. Thomas White,
of 1906 Broadway. He had just come up
from the depot and held in his hand a
street car transfer ticket "What car shall
l take to go to Woodland cemetery?" asked
he of bystander. 'You don't want a
cemetery car" said the gentleman ad-
dressed, who knew him. You want a
Broadway car. Mr.. White lives on Broad
way, and the car will take you right to his
house."
NO." said Mr.. Kerr, 81 don't want to go
to Brother Thomas. If l go there they
will make me stay two or three days. aad
I haven't time. l have just come from
home, and must go back tonight" Then
his voice quavered with tender emotion as
he concluded: II want to visit my wife S
grave in Woodland and spend the after
noon." just then the car came along and
he boarded it, but in those few words he
had displayed the wealth of affection, the
tender memory Of the loved one who had
gone before, and whose grave he had come
hundreds of miles to ee.-Quincy Wing.

The Right Man for the Post.

A nanber ofyounq fellows applied for a
situation as clerk in a lawyers Office. The
lawyer made them stand in row, and
said he would tell them a story and would
Judge from their remarks which of them
would be most likely to suit him. He be-
gan: ''There was once upon time farm
er whose corn was stolen by a rat that
used to creep through a hole into his barn.
Observing this at noon one day, he took
his gun down from the wall and fired at
the rat. In so doing he set the barn on
fire."
"Was it burned to the ground?" inquired
one of his listeners.
The lawyer went on without needing the
interruption: Seeing the flames, the
farme, fetched bucket of water and tried
to put out the fire."
Ibid he put it out?' inquired second.
"Then the girl came with another bucket,
and while the two were busy in the barn,
the door closed behind them with a bang"
"Were they burned:" was the third ques-
ton.
"Then the farmers mother came on the
scene, the neighbors came running and an
immense crowd collected to help in putting
out the fire."
"Was nobody hurt?"
There. my young fellows" the lawyer
concluded, that is all; now go, and TO-
morrow you shall hear from me-"
One of the applicants, a little, shabby
looking individual, fingered behind, and
the lawyer asked him, "Well, little chap,
what else do you want?"
The candidate blushed and stammered
out, Il only want to know what became
of the rat''
"Ha. hap exclaimed the lawyer, "you
can stay: you are tine man for me. You
are the only one who never lost sight of the
main thing in that mixed up affair. -

A Warming, and n Few Cases OF Thought

into her room, poured some water into

bedside and began to sprinkle it over her.
She awoke and heard a loud splashing. At

presently she lighted a candle and went to
the basin, where she found mouse max

A young man dreamed that he was in his

for the calculator to remember his figures.
Presently the woman thrust the child into
his arms, and he was so startled by this
that he awoke. But the screams still trOu-

A Well Travelled Letter.

An old member of well known Bres-
lau institution sent on the 18th of May,
1891, post card from Cassel, addressed
to ''Dr. Emin Pacha. in German East
Africa" The card contained a poetical
allusion to the great traveller, and was
signed by number of other members
of the institute. It arrived at Zanzibar
on the 18th Of June. 1891, and at Baga-
moyo on the 10th of that month. The
post card was then sent back to Dar-es-
Salaam, where it arrived on the 18th of
March of this year, and received the fol-
lowing official comment: Aus dem In
nern zuruck. Emin NIGHT erreichbar.
Returned from the interior. Emin not
attainable.) On the 9Th of May this
same post card found its way back to
Cassel and is now in the hands of the
sender.-London News.

haunted houses, l am therefore by no
means scoffer at well substantiated re-
ports of such phenomena"
The reporter inquired of DR.. Wyman
whether he or other members of the Psychic
Research society believed in the power of
provision or foreknOwledge sometimes at
tributed to certain peculiarly gifted per-
sons, and whether he believed that fore
warnings and prophecies were ever con-
veyed to mortal intelligence through the
medium of dreams and visions.
GAS to that" he replied, II can state that
many prophecies have been made to me
during the past 90 years through several
different psychics, nearly all of which have
been fulfilled almost to the letter.
II have personally known of friends
whose lives have been saved by obeying the
intuitions or warnings given to them i'm
Professionally. Others were saved from acct
dent and some from terrible deaths by rail
road and steamboat disasters by hearing Il
voice or by being warned through advice
given to them by psychics, which babe
them beware taking a journey on a certain
day by special train or steamer.
MANY we'll authenticated cases are on
record where these warnings were not he ID
ed, and accidents, disasters and deaths Ii I've
occurred in fulfillment of the predictions
made.
''The same thing is true of dreams and
visions. Perhaps one of the most interest

our martyred president, Abraham Lincoln.

Table Manners.

Mr.. Bishop, while on his thousand mile
walk across South America, describes q
rude meal which he shared with a COM
pany Of cart drivers-almost savage gau-
chos-in whose company he was then trav-
cling:
We cncamped near ~ swamp and supped
upon sliced pumpkins boiled with bits of
meat and seasoned with salt. The meal
was served in genuine pampa fashion. One
iron spoon and two cows horns split in
members of which squatted upon their
from the kettle
satisfying hunger there j., IL peculiar Ell
quette. which the most lowly peon invari-
ably observes. Eaci, member of the COM
pany in turn dips his spoon or horn into
the center of the stew and draws it in a
direct line toward him, never allowing it
TO deviate to the right or the left
BY observing this rule each person eats
without interfering with his neighbor.
Being ignorant of this custom, dipped my
horn into tint mess at random and fisLed
about for some OF the nice bits.
My companions regarded this horrid
breach of politeness with scowls of impa-
thence. They declared with some warmth
to the cook that gringos did not know how
to eat, and, las they lived upon dogs ~
their own distant country, they came to
the great Argentine Republic to get food
and grow fat on the gauchos."
l apologized us we'll as l could, and en-
deavored thereafter to eat according to
gaucho etiquette.

Determines of the Feet.

With the possible exception of the
French, the Americans as a people are the
greatest sufferers from deformities of the
feet. We crowd our feet into shoes alto
gether too narrow across the toe, and then
wonder why we have SO much trouble to
walk properly. This new tangled "Old
Chappie" walk, SO much affected now by
young men, in which they bend forward
and plant their feet with a sagging mo
tion of the upper part Of the body, must
lave been originated by man who wore
too tight shoes. AS a matter of fact, a
healthful condition of the feet is closely
connected with happiness and a sound con-
dition of the whole body.-Interview in
