1t don't pay. The Eagle made
fair. honest effort TO rescue Rosa
Whiteface, whose name is also Lulu
Bland. In the twilight of this Nine
teenth century the Eagle blushed in
hot Indignation 120 Fahrenhei0 that
an educated Indian girl should be
passed over the counter by the hind
legs like hen, for fifteen glandered
bronchos. And the Eagle took out its
snickersee and few TO the rescue. At
the first charge the Indian agent
agiiely caught the Eagle under the left
eye and left a roseate Japanese sun
set there: later the father of the Indian
girl, herself. stepped lightly TO the
front and pulled the eyelids of the
Eagle down over its knee-caps. Then
the professor Of the Indian school
came out and said that Rosa or Lulu
did claim that she had been sold and
that he believed her but she was only
joking and the Eagle fell back against
the sky and gasped.
And now the Oklahoma papers are
taking it up, gently jabbing the
Eagle right and left, pulling her pins
from under her and camping on her
carcass. OF which this from q man

8Iinco Minstrel is fair sample:
The Wichita Eagle has done wonder
full amount of good by its expose Of the
Rosa Whiteface affair and it deserves a
medal We would suggest one Of copper
with an eagle on one side and the prohles
Of Grover Cleveland and Hoke Smith on
the other with the motto United We fall;
divided we can't stand" Would suggest
one of brass for the scribe that did the
write up in last Tuesdays Eagle. On
the diverse side would be the picture OF
the beautiful Rosa with her big pun
sleeves and on the reverse trumpet with
the motto Vie who blows not his own
horn, the same shall not be footed"
This writer gets very enthusiastic over
the coy and handsome Rosa Whiteface.

Quanah Parker as chief of the Kiowas
and Comanches, now there are some OF
the Indian rights people way up east,
know more about the Indian tribes than
this. However, this correspondent makes
a very pretty narrative and from the
romantic views he takes. he should sign
himself Longfellow, then again with
equal propriety he could sign himself
Shortfellow, for he is evidently short on
facts But it does look like fifteen

This settles 1t. The Eagle is not
carrying a lot of throbs of Indignation
around in its breast for injured i'll

Lulu was sold We agree with all
the Oklahoma papers that fifteen
ponies were too much far a common
