The rule OF the dead letter Office is to
make extraordinary effort to return all
nissent letters which are found to con-
tain money. But blind obedience to
this rulc is the basis of an entertaining
story \ boy III the Indian school on
the Skokomish reservation, which is
about three miles from the postofiice of
Union City. Wash, wrote a letter to
his brother at .,oabeck some time ago,
inclosing in it n small sum of money
He also wrote on the envelope that, if
it should not be delivered in proper
time, was TO be returned to the writ
". His brother did not call for it, and
il was returned to Union City. The
postmaster there had not heard of the
boy, and on inquiry failed to find him.
Accordingly he sent the letter to the
dead letter Office.
On arrival hero il WAS opened, and 1t
had money in it. II was returned to
onion City with long letter of instruc-
tions 70 find the writer, if possible
After inquiry the boy was at last found
and was requested 70 go in person,
claim the letter and receipt for il, and
tho postmaster had TO go through as
much red tape rs il tho letter contained
81, 600. The joke becomes evident when
IL is known that the money in the letter
amounted 10 only cent postage stamp
and a copper cent New York Tribune.

Ess Perez aors.s Followed Their Leader
over the CHE


The hardy little Eez Perce horse IL
quite well known in q way, but few
people know what remarkable courage
and sagacity be has When the Indian
war SWEPT the Eez Perce country. the
Indians gathered about 5000 horses
into a valley that fronted on the steep
bluffs Of the Columbia river, and there,
with the great white mountains at their
back, prepared 10 make their last des-
perate stand
In the battle that followed they were
defeated, and the small fraction Of them
that remained unkilled put TO fight
The horses. shut in by the steep noun
taiDs on the one side and the steep river
bluff on the other. had 10 be left behind.
When the battle had closed, the SOL
diers Of the volunteers (for only part
were regulars) made rush for the
horses, but they could not lay hands on
one Of them or approach them.
And now for the first time it was no
tioed that they were under a boy herder.
The boy was unarmed, entirely naked
and a. red as copper.
The boy had no bride, but wove his
hands into the name, and thus guided
his black horse at will at the head of
the herd.
The volunteers dropped on their knees
here and there around the edge Of the
circle and began TO fire at the boy. At
last bullet struck him. His body few
hiRh into the air and then fell and rolled
in the dust.
The horses now divided as they came
By. Their nOstrils were distended at the
smell Of blood, and their eyes ablaze at
the sight Of their young keeper in the
dust
On the second round, after the boy
fell, the black leader seemed to run
sidewise, his eyes fastened to his little
dead master until they looked frightful
from under the black name.
He plunged on around and came to
the very edge Of the beetling basalt
bluff. Then there was a sight as Of a
sculptured image Of horse poised in
midair, and mad, wild cry, such as a
horse makes bat once--a cry indescrib-
able--that filled the valley.
Men looked away, and when they
looked back the black statue was gone.
Then, faithful to the leader, over the
bluff into tho foaning white water went
another horse.
And then 10, 90, 500, the whole
6,000l Not one Of all the herd was left
to the invading yictors, and the stream
was literally choled with the dead. -
