"Goodness how she grows" The Rev. Stephen R. Beggs, who preached the first Protestant sermon at old Fort Dearborn, where Chicago stands to day, is now ninety-four years old, and lives in Plainfeld, III. ''My early impression of Chicago" he says, twas that it was mud hole with a. fort plumped into its middle. When I came there in 1881 there was little more than Fort Dearborn for miles. The Chicago river was even then establishing an everlasting reputation for filth, and the jocular remark was that pint of it's water was equal any day to three hard shakes of the chills and fever. That river is about all that could identify the place by now"

how Two Sticks, Bad Indian, Received
Capital Sentence ut Deadwood.
When sentence was passed on fsTwo
Sticks" the courtroom was packed, and
when the presiding judge expressed his
belief that all four Indian murderers
should be hung the people cheered, and
the United States marshal was called
upon to preserve order. Red El1, COM
monty known as 1.-TWO Sticks" (since
his crippled condition has compelled
him to walk on crutches), the first of
all his race to "feel the heavy hand Of
the invader, - will be hung Christmas
week for the cold blooded murder Of a
16-year-old white boy. Throughout the
trial Two Sticks has seemed amused
at the proceedings and has felt sure Of
being acquitted. They did not hang
Crow Dog, he argued, so they couldn't
hang him. Crow Dog was the first In
dian ever tried in Dakota courts. He
was on trial here in 1882 for the MUIR
der Of Spotted Tail, a chief Of the Sioux
tribe, and was found guilty. But the
case was appealed to the supreme court
of the United States by Crow Dogs at
torney, known to the Indians as the
..little man with the big voice. and
now Judge of this judicial district, and
in the .supreme court the Indian was ac-
quilted.
Two Sticks is not popular, even
among his own people He is bad In
dian, according to their story. He was
with Rain In the Face at the Custer
massacre; be was at Wounded Knee,
where one of his sons was "Ailled with
grub in his mouth" wherever the In
dian wars have been most barbarous and
bloody, wherever the innate cruelty and
treachery of the red man have been most
manifest, there Two Sticks has been in
the midst Of them His hatred Of the
white man is bitter and intense.
Two Sticks received both verdict and
sentence with absolute Indifference.
When asked by the judge whether he
had anything to say, he replied, without
any show Of feeling OF interest in the
matter: ''I am an old man, but have
brave heart, and am not afraid to die,
but if I am to die think it would be
p.oper for me to see my relatives /
am an OLD man and would rather die
right away now. for then will not suf-
fer any more. I do not consider myself
doing anything very important toward
the whites, but even for that am to
be executed, and am glad that I am to
be executed for my people. !" Then be
laughed as though the whole thing
were to him a huge joke. At last &C

Suggestions For Those Who Do Not
"Spend as They Coz

Suggestions For Those Who Do Not
"Spend as They Coz
A woman who probably voices the
question Of a great many other women
writes to ask how she shall invest her
savings. She is working woman who
has accumulated small SUM, which
she naturally wishes to use in accumu-
lating more. The amount she has saved
is not large enough for her to invest IN
real estate or in any large enterprise.
About two years ago this same ques-
tion was asked, and We put the problem
before the leading business men and
fnanc;ers. They answered the question
almost unanimously. They advocated
the saving of the money In savings
banks at small rate of interest until
such time as there should be sufficient
money to invest in a good first mort
gage or in desirable real estate. The
reason for this decision was that wom-
en- are seldom fitted by education and
training to take part wisely IN ventures.
They are likely to be the prey OF design
ing speculators. They are almost inva-
riably incapable of taking care of them
selves properly in any sort Of specala-
tive scheme. The savings banks offer a
secure place for depositing money. and
the income from them, while small, is
certain. Four per cent, assured and safe,
is better for most women than larger
profits and greater risks.
When the small sum has grown to be
a considerable one, FIRST" mortgages on
good property form an admirable invest
ment for women's savings They yield
an income Of about 6 per cent IN most
states and are about as safe as saving
banks Land has an agreeable quality
of remaining where it is, and improve
ments ON land when mortgaged are al
ways insured, so that there is little dan
ger Of less to the holder Of first mort
gage. By first mortgage is meant the
one which, in case Of failure Of the OWL
er of the property to pay the interest or
the amount of the loan in due time,
viii be paid first.
Investment in real estate is not so
satisfactory. Property in places where
the value Of land is not liable to be d.
minished costs good deal, in the first
place. Then there are taxes, insurance
and constants repairs to decrease the
profits. Still land has an advantage Of
other investments in its comparative
stability.-St. Louis Post Dispatch.

A comedian in a French theatre
once made a great hit out of a painful
accident. One day, while INDUCING
in a bit of horse play on the stage, he
hit his head violently, entirely an ac
cident, against one Of the pillars of
the scene on the stage. On hearing the
thud everybody uttered a cry. ''No
great harm DONE" said the comedian.
"Just hand me q napkin, a glass of
water, and salt cellar" These were
brought, and he sat down, folded the
napkin in the form of bandage, dip
ped it in the glass, and emptied the
salt on the wet part. Having thus
prepared a compress according to
prescription, and when every one ex
pected he would apply it to his fore
head, he gravely rose and tied it round
the pillar. The effect of his action
was such that every one set him down
as the readiest and wittiest man in
his profession.-Erc bdnqe.

FOR SCHOOL GIRLS.

If l were a girl again, and could go
L think I would be careful, not to lose
any time. Yours is a foundation
work, and it is very important that
this should be, because the habits of
care and diligence you are forming in
your class-rooms will help you
through your whole lives. 1t is really
less what you study than the way you
study it which is the main thing to be
considered now.
A girl at school cannot, of course,
always be provided with every appli-
ance for her work, but, as rule, she
ought to have her own books, her own
tablets, pencils, ink, eraser, crayons,
drawing paper, penk1ife, and what
ever else she needs in order to do her
work, SO that she is under no necces-
sity to borrow from her friends.
What would you think of carpenter
who came to your house without
tools, and had to ask the loan of some.
Or doctor who forgot his prescrip-
ton book or his medicines, and had
to loose time until he could send to
an acquaintance and procure others,
while his patient was waiting to be
relieved? Have your tools, girls, and
keep them in order, and, if you must
sometimes lend, exact a speedy re-
turn, politely and gently, but firmly,
for we must sometimes insist on our
rights, and then just as firmly resolve
not to borrow unless the circum-
stances are exceptional. Have your
own tools.
School books should be laid aside
as you leave them for other and more
advanced books, neither given away
nor parted with out of the family,
though you may allow a younger sis
ter or brother to use them, If you
choose. By-and-bye you may be glad
to have your school books to refer to,
and you will find that they are as useful
as much larger volumes, and easier to
keep at hand: they have been pre-
pared by learned and thoughtful ex-
perts, and have the advantage of be-
ing carefully condensed. After your
school-life is ended you will enjoy the
possession of a shelf full of school
books, once your daily companions.

Tt is generally supposed that the
dryness of bread arises from it's be-
coming actually dryer by the gradual
loss of water, but that is not the case.
Stale bread contains almost the same
proportion of water as new bread af
ter it has become completely cold.
The change is merely in the internal
arrangement of the molecules Of the
bread. A proof Of this is that if we
tin, expose it for half an hour to a heat
not exceeding that of boiling water,
and then allow it to cool, it viii be re-
stored in appearance and properties
to the state of new bread.
