has to be employed. A good one Is
shown in our illustration, taken from
the Ohio Farmer. The edge half Of the
blade is corrugated-crimpcd by being
passed fiatwisc between two ridged
rollers-and the blade is ground to an
edge from one side only. The result
of this is an edge serrated and toothed
like saw. but the cutting edge OF
each tooth is smooth like that OF a
knife, and the blade can he sharpcned
on grindstonc like any knife. The
advantage Of this knife is that it sticks
wherever it touches. and it cuts. too.

SHERIFF AS SOLOMON.

Two Indian Women Claim a Child A.
Their Own.
Two HARBORs, Mimi, April 2.-The
Chippewa Indians on the Cook county
reservation, just east of Grand Marias,
about seven miles from this city, have
been having no end of trouble over a
child claimed by two families, and at
last it became necessary to call on the
sheriff for assistance in quelling the
disturbance
The latter part Of the week Sheriff
Brand was informed of the trouble and
he delegated his Cook county deputy to
go to the reservation and see what hhe
difficulty was. On arriving at the In
dian settlement, the sheriff found that
two mothers laid claim to one child and
that both had friends to swear that the
little one belonged to her alone.
The situation was a perplexing one,
and as he could not find out for certain
to which woman the infant really did
belong, he was powerless to take any
steps in the matter. After long and
careful study Of the situation he solved
the problem to the satisfaction of all
concerned and peace once more reigns
among the noble red women. The plan
of the deputy sheriff was that each Of
the women claiming the child should
have it for a month at a time, pending
a permanent settlement Of the trouble.
