"Do you know" said an army Off
Ger, "that if Sitting Bull, the old Sioux
chief, had been white man, he would
have been called great generalf In
fact, he was a great natural soldier-a
sort OF red Napoleon.
"Sitting Bull was not real chief !;
that is, he wasn't war chief. He was
a medicine man, what the Indians call
a medicine chief. But he had great nat
ural capacity as a commander. His sur
prise and cutting off of Custer would
have been called great achievement il

Mr. Richard V. Lindabury has very
gracefully crowded back from the position
that he took the other day relative TO Mr..
John W. Griggs, who, he Is reported as
having said, lodged the vote on the race
track bill and carried retainer from the
Race Track Association in his pocket.
Mr.. Lindabury was very promptly called
upon by Mr.. Griggs and his friends to
give his authority for the statement or
deny that he made it. He did the latter
in the following words :Ds,as j.
In my speech in Jersey City did not
charge that Mr.. Griggs, While member
of the Legislature, was willing losaccept
a retainer as counsel from that interest In
legislation. l did not accuse him OF such
an olfensc, either directly or Indirectly,
nor do believe he was guilty OF u.
That statement OF course removes MIR.
Lindabury from an uneuviable position,
and leaves the field for prevarication once
more open before Mr.. Allan McDermott.

day drawing in the gamy trout, ana was
thoroughly tired when the curtain rolea

moved smoothly enough until he IS sup
posed to fall asleep. Now that sleep IN

fallen asleep, and his shores, it IS sald,
were quite audible beyond the footllght.

audience, and, finally, the stage-manager
had to go beneath the stage and open d
