An amusing story is told in connec.
tion with the recent opening of the
Nez Perces Indian reservation. When
the Indians OF the reservation had re.
ceived their money from the govern.
ment they went to the neighboring
towns to spend it. Their visit was, of
course, anticipated, and all possible
schemes were on foot to relieve Uncle
Sans wards of their cash as speedily
as possible. The Indians were on the
buy, too, and money was no object
when anything they saw took their
fancy. The redskins took a notion to
buy carts, wagons, buggies, ETC., and
in short time every available vehicle
in the little town of Pennington was
in their possession.
There was one old Indian who failed
to make purchase, however, and after
all the buggies were gone desire to
possess some sort of conveyance start
ed him on diligent search. After Wis
iting all the places where vehicles were
sold without success he finally learned
Of a conveyance which, from the de.
scription, completely overshadowed
anything in point of excellence ever
sold before, and the possession of which
would render all the other Indians
Wild with envy. He sought out the
owner, who proved to be the town un'
dertalser, and opened negotiations fol
the purchase of the vehicle. The un-
dertaker soon found the Indian wanted
to obtain his hearse. The thought
staggered him for moment, but hav'
ing an eye to business, and noting the
anxiety OF Mr.. Redskin, the hearse waa
sold for round sum.
The Indian hitched two horses tc
the somber vehicle, and putting his
squaw and pappooses on the inside,
trotted off for home, the proudest cop
perface that ever strung a bow. The
other Indians, hearing of his coming,
had lined up along the road to watch
him pass. Perched on his high seat, he
drove haughtily by them, while the
little pappooses peercd through the
glass sides and clapped their hands
rapturously. lg
The agent demonstrated with the
Indian, but all to no purpose. He re-
tanned the hearse, and in his frequent
visits to the surrounding towns, driv'
ing in his somewhat gloom-inspiring
conveyance, is no longer an object ot
curiosity. Francisco Call

Caused In His Household.
''In matters purely social" remarked
. cabinet officer to reporter for The
Star, II never like to be quoted, so in
what is TO follow you may omit my
name. Last winter one of our best
known senator's from one of the Gulf
states lying between Louisiana and
Florida was at the theater. After the
performance he, with friend, repaired
to 4 German restaurant to be refreshed.
For the first time in his long and we'll
spent life he encountered that power
full confection known as Limburger
cheese. He was delighted with 1t as
with revelation In gastronomy. He
craved Of the owner of the hostelry q
specimen of the cheese, that he might
convey it to his household there to be
exhibited and taught to them rs les.

end that large quantities Of the cheese
might be purchased and consumed by

cheese and slowed it away in the stern
sheets of his dress suit Then he went
home, and hanging his costume in the
wardrobe, went to bed. In the MORN
ing, with the approaching cares OF q
tariff day overshadowing any memory
OF that Limburger, he pulled on his
everyday suit and went down
to the senate. When he sought
his home again at six p. m. he found
doors and windows open. while his
family went about In furs and similar
defenses against the cold. There were
artisans about who had taken up floor

Hints on CheerfuInsss.

"Cheer'' and Comfort" There are
always chances in life to do both, for
turn where you will, there are those
who are in need of help. Not always
bodily help. Often those who have
every earthly thing they need-shel.
ter, money, food, clothing, books, all
sorts of opportunities-are in want Of
the heavenly things which cheer
and Comfort" mean. They are de-
pressed, low in their spirits, sad and
troubled. They are even cross and
disagreeable because they are unhap-
by. To such persons young people
with bright faces and light hearts, can
bring both the cheer that gives comfort
and takes away pain. You haven't te
do anything in grand and heroic
fashion either. Simply be yourselves
and let the gladness that is in you bub
Bile up and overflow, and you viii
make tired people happier.-Harper'

died in infancy. The son, Mr. Emmett,
still lives, and with his young wife
faithfully attended his mother during
her long and suffering Illness. Mrs.
Moore died of consumption of the

summing up ofthe half dozen success
full novels of the year, includes with
Du Maurier's "Trilby," Hall Caine's
"Manxnan," Conan Doyle's "Sher-

and "Ships that Pass in the Night"
Mrs. E. Burke Collins IA Modern

Speaking of this last work of our
distinguished southern author, the
Graphic says:
"What Geo. w. Cables writings are
to the Creoles of New Orleans, Miss
Murfree to the rough strata of hui
mainly among the Tennessee noun
tains, and Gertrude Anterior to Cal
~ifornia, Mrs. E. Burke Collins are to
the Acadians of the Louisiana Pine
Lands. In her latest work Mrs. Col
Inns has struck a new vein in litera-
ture, opening to the novel reading
Acadians of the backwoods, among
the wild, scarcely known region of the
bayous and swamps of Louisiana.
Besides her novels she contributes
each week short stories, sketches, ETC.,
to the prominent magazines and to
the great variety of other publications.
Although her writing has always
been a labor of love, yet such inces-
SAINT mental exertion, constantly har-
vesting the ideas of her brain without
a single idle season or fallow time for
rest and refreshment, could not fail
