A Hint to Small Boys.

1t would be a great gain to the rising
and the unrisen generations If we could
lead the small boy to believe that there
are better ways than day-long detona-
tions in which to celebrate the Fourth
of July, and that beautiful and attract.
i've things are as eligible for purposes
of celebration as things that annoy and
disgust the neighbors and that frighten
adults to flight. 1t is true that the re-
finement of the American small boy is a
tedious and thankless process; but at
the same time 1t would be good for him,
and an inestimable blessing to his sen.

planned to him that his methods of cele-
bration are obsolete and barbarous.

TOO MUCH WORK
For q Healthy Existence.-Thats
Why the Kidneys SO often Fail.

Nature has provided q certain amount
Of work for every organ OF the human
body; overtax them and disease eventu-
ally follows. There is not one por-
ton of our organism that is so overworked
as the Kidneys; on them is placed the i'm
portant function of filtering the blood of
the impurities which naturally form in the
regular action of life and digestion. The
kidneys are consequently termed the sew
erage of the system; clog up this sewer,
and the blood becomes tainted with poison
Gus uric acid, which brings on disease
in many forms The back is the first to-
show this stoppage. From there comes
the wari.ing note; it should be Needed
and the kidneys receive prompt attention!

of the kidneys quickly, relieve the back OF

The Fourth Of July was approaching.
II was decided by the patriotic citizens
Of Harney's that there must be a cele-
bration. In casting about for attrac-
lions the chairman of the duly APP
pointed committee hit upon the bright
idea of a sham battle in the Sleepy
Hills, just outside OF town. This chair
man was Mr.. Walden Hutchens. Then
another member asked why not have
the Indians from the Rolling Fork
Agency, which was near by, take one
side and the citizens the other? Then
another member had an inspiration.
Why not. he said. get some of the troops

yelled to Chief Mad Wolf. in a tone
which made even that hardened savage
think that II was best to obey. Around a
loose blouse he wore the belt of blank
cartridges, with the wooden scalping
knife stuck in it.
Get off, said Hutchens. The chief
slid to the ground, too astonished too

ward and pulled open the blouse. IN

ball cartridges, big, thick. bottle-necked
Wholesalers; and at the side was an
old Hudson Bay company scalping
knife. with deer horn handle, the long
blade newly ground and polished. Every
Indian was similarly provided. The
great sham battle of the Sleepy Hills
was declared off.
The most that either the Indians or
the negroes would ever admit was that
they took along the ball cartridges
so as to have them lin case anything
should happen" But nobody doubted
that If they had got out I'm the hills
something would have happened.-Hay-

sis on the sham. Then, as he still
looked off at the blue hills, thought
full expression came into his conspicu-
Gus white eyes. and he added: But l

with the men about it, sah.'
The upshot OF the matter was that
the private soon came to the chairman
and said.
II reckon. sab, that we would like the
sham battle, sab. IL the Kunnel don't
object. and the folks here wants us to-"
The chairman caught the reflection of
a mysterious light in the others ex-
panse of eye as he rolled II away along
the low tops Of the Sleepy Hills. But
he thought nothing Of It. and hurried off
to consult old Mad Wolf. chief of the
Indians. Mad Wolf had a leading part
in the Minnesota massacre in 1862, and
was reputed still to have the scalps he
took then hidden away, some of them
covered with long fine hair-woman's
kair-or shorter, but still soft and silky
-childrens hair-babies' hair. But he
had long since laid by the scalping-
knife. and drew without complaint the
neat but not gaudy rations dealt out by
a paternal government. He was sitting
on the ground. smoking a pale-face
cigarette, when approached by tn
chairman, who duly set forth the shan
battle idea. He was careful To eluci
date the sham point of the proposed al
fair. so as not TO raise any hopes not
justified by the facts in the bosom OF

that the Indians fight with bows and

them the same number Of blank car

exclaimed Chairman Hutchens, recoE
nizing that the evolution of the idea
could go no further. It'll make Rome
howl, and lay over any other celebra-
ton in the territory" Chairman
Hutchens was an enterprising young
man of the Harvard class of seventy
something. and knew good idea when
he saw it.
1t happened that the Hath Cavalry,
which was stationed at Fort De Smet,
was a negro regiment. 1t seemed as
If they were the darkest-colored Afri-
cans ever got together. They were big,
strong active fellows, and presumably
good soldiers. but their compilations
were undeniably dark.
Chairman Hutchens was extremely
friendly with Colonel Poinsette, com
mandant at Fort De Smet, and no
sooner had he recovered from the first
flash of the brilliancy of the mock
battle idea than he hurried away to
consult this officer. Colonel Poinsette
hesitated about allowing his men 10
take part, but when the fact that they
would no doubt look upon it in the light
of a lark of the first magnitude. and
that they richly deserved a little play
SPELL he relented, and said that If the
men desired to engage in It he would
give his consent. So the chairman went
in search of some of the soldiers to
sound them on the subject. Fortu-
nately one Yancy. a sort of a leader OF
the men when they were off on fur
lough-in civil life he would certainly
have been politician. and perhaps GOT
into the legislature-was found in town,
and the chairman approached him. To
his surprise. Private Yancy did not fall
in with the idea readily. He gazed
away at the Sleepy Hills, and said:
mo, sab, reckon us soldiers
wouldn't keer about having no sham
battle with them things" The private
put a marked emphasis on the word
sham. and by things he of course meant
the proud-spirited red man.
But" went on the chairman, In an
insinuatlng tone, at will be a regular
picnic for you fellows. The Colonel. 1
