INDIANS ARE GAME BETToRs.
viii Venture Their All nm n Horse Race
Their Chief Diversion.

will Venture Their All on a Horse Race
Their Chief Diversion.
"An Indian horse race is the greatest
and most important event of the year to
he tribes who participate in it,, said
Ramon Thornton of Cheyenne to a re-
porter. at is totally unlike our equine
contests, for, to begin with, there is
only one race, for which it takes months
and weeks to arrange the details, and |
must tell you hat the average Indian is
a remarkably good matchmaker. | do
not think / ever saw q ace that was not
productive of "a close, exciting finish.
"As soon as the day is set for the
great contest every man, woman and
papoose of both tribes assemble at the
appointed place, bringing all their
worldly wealth to support their cham
pion. When the day of the race arrives,
several large pa1ticolored blankets are
spread upon the ground, at either side
of which the warriors and chiefs of the
opposing tribes range themselves, while
behind are the chattering squaws, each
bearing the treasures of her liege lord.
The head chief of one side generally
makes the first bet. Silently and with
stolid countenance he steps forward and
deposits his furs and other valuables on
the blanket, often even going SO far as
to add his much priced rife to the
whole. The leader of the other side then
places articles of a similar value beside
the first heap. A grunt or q nod. and it
is a bet. So it goes down the line, wa
gering being conducted with a gravity
that BELTS the occasion, for each tribe
knows that it's opponents will bet all
they have got: Even little groups OF
ponies are led Off to one side and bunch
ed together, and that means that the
loser will walk many a weary mile
through binding alka1i dust before he
sees tho tepees Of his people. But there
is no haggling, 10 disputes, no excla-
nations of surprise or chagrin at the re-
suit. 1t is impossible, as far as any out
ward demonstration is concerned, to
distinguish the victor from the van
quished, and in that respect / think the
American Indian stands alone among
the nations of the world. "-Atlanta
Journal.

1t was not by accident that violet was
chosen by many nations as the exclusive
color for mourning. and by as also for
half mourning. Painters suffering from
hysteria and neurasthenia will be in
clined to cover their pictures uniformly
with the color most in accordance with
their. condition of lassitnde and exhaus-
tion. Thus originate the violet pictures
OF Manet and his school, which spring
from nj actually observable aspect of
nature, but from a subjective view due
to conditions of the nerves. When the
entire surface Of walls in salons and art
exhibitions of the day appears yelled in
uniform half mourning, this prediction
for violet is simply al expression of the
nervous debility of the painter. Con

School Lectures.

The pleasantest and by no means least
profitable way to get instruction is by
means of lectures. School authorities are
beginning to find that out more anc
more and TO arrange in the courses Of
public instruction for occasional talks
ON various scientific, historical and 9TH
or subjects.
New York city perhaps furnishes the
most shining example thus far of the
success Of public school lectures. The
superintendent of the course is DR.. Henry
M. Leipziger, who grows more en-.
thusiastic on this subject the more he
knows about it. His report shows that
last year $50 lectures altogether were
given. They were attended by no less
than 2a4.,ls persons. The course began
IL November and extended over Is
weeks, ending in March.
1t was "a sight with a touch Of pathos
in it to witness the audiences ut the leo
lures. They were given ut each hall on
two evenings Of the week. No children
under 10 years Nd are allowed to at
tend, the instruction being for the older
class of school pupils. But the parents
presented themselves in greater force

to their old level. We do not think it
right, if man created a debt when
wheat was worth dollar bushel; to
compel him to pay it when wheat
is worth fifty cents bushel for
this practically means forcing him to
pay two bushels where he got enc, be-
sides the interest.
We hope our friend understands
that If, prior to 1873. he had found a
lump Of gold on his farm, and his
neighbor had found a lump Of silver,
both could go to the mint and have
the bullion coined into dollars; now
the man who should lind the gold can
get his dollars so coined at the mint
but the man who should find the sill
yer would find the doors shut in his
face.
1t is this different treatment we are
battling against. We perceive that
the object Of this new experiment. is
to make the rich richer and the poor
poorer, and we perceive also that it is
doing its work very effectually all over
the world. ID.

rapidity. Is there any reason to be-
licve it will not eventuate here in a
revolution, not as bloody perhaps but
as sweeping, as that which scourged
France? Human nature is much the
same whether it speaks English or
French; whether it dwells in the al
leys Of Paris or on the prairies of
western America.
Note too how the government of
France continued to borrow money,
just as the government at Washing
ton is doing, while attempting no re-
lief for the people of the country.
In France the people rose up and
chopped the heads Off their oppres-
sors. Here we are not necessarily
forced to such extremities. We have
the ballot box. and, through it. we
can drive the plunderers of the people
out Ct power and into obscurity, and
re-establish liberty and justice
throughout the land.
The French people were chained
and hampered by a hereditary devu-
ton TO kingcrait-as the vicegerent
of God. Here we are chained and
hampercd by the shallow bigotries Of
party. We are tied neck and heels by
the prcjudices OF the past. [. D.

Il LESSON FROM HISTORY.

written by S. Y. Penrod. and publish

Voice of Labor" and in it we stun
bled upon the following:
"a little more than a century ago
Thomas Jefferson WAS minister to the
French court. In letter to Madison
he wrote.as follows:
"'The property. Of this country,
(France). is absolutely concentrated
in a few hands, having revenues of
from a million guineas year down
ward. These employ the flower Of the
country as servants, some of them
having as many as two hundred do
mestics, not laooring. They employ
also il great number OF manufacturers
and tradeSmen; and, lastly, the. class
