TWO YARN FACTORIES.

In the Town Of B., Connecticut. there
is a factory where yarn is made. A
stranger approaching the town one
day in a buggy, pulled up his horse
and accosted a farmer who was dig
glng potatoes on the other side Of the
fence
Can you tell me where the yarnmil
ts?' inquired the stranger.
Certainly" was the reply. Keep
straight on till you come to the drink
ing fountain. Right opposite is a
wooden block with three doors. The
middle door is the one you want"
Thank you" said the stranger. and
drove on. In due time he came TO the
fountain and sought the middle door
of the wooden block; and it led him
upstairs to the Office of the local news
paper. The other yarn factory, the one
for which he was looking, lay half
mile beyond.-Youth's Companion.

The nations capital will soon be
treated to a rare scene. 1t is not as
rare now as it used to be, however,
for the willy red man is rapidly &C
curing knowledge about Washington
and the things &c be had there. The
red men Qndians) will be the actors
in little drama about to come off.
and it will fall to the lot of Hoke
Smith, secretary of the interior, to
treat with them, but he has had some
previous experience in such matters
and it is more than probable that the
task of receiving the children of ma
ture will be awarded to one of his un-
lucky assistants.
The Indians are going to Washing
ton with a grievance. In fact they
have long list of grievances. They
have been collecting them for year or
more, and some of them are of much
older date. Summed up the grievances
are much the same as the troubles of
the white man. They want more Of
the worlds goods in clothing, pro-
vender or dollars, they cont care
which, so Ion as they get them. The
Indian has all exalted idea of the great
father in Washington. To them he is
what their white brethren call an
easy mark. By working on his SYM
pathy they have solved the problem
of living without work. Astute minds
have been hacking away at this riddle
for generations. but the Indian has
found it easy.
. The Ogallala tribe of the Sioux ma
ton is the particular one which feels
itself i'll used The plainsmen of South
Dakota have no love for these Indians,
as they claim the light of civilization
has not sunk very deep into their
hearts. Every once in a while the
corpse of a cattleman is found with
the scalp stripped off. The good In
dian who is asked about it draws his
finger across his throat in suggestive
way. This is a sign indicating Sioux
workmanship.
The Ogallalas have just had their
dog feast This is the most important
function of the year with the tribe.
Two hundred unhappy CANNES gave up
their lives, and it required 12O iron
pots to hold the questionable delicacy

to eat more of it than his neighbor,
which is a sufficient tribute to the
stew.
This feast took place in the camp of
Red Dog, about thirty miles north of
the Pine Ridge agency. This camp is
located On the famous battlefield of
Wounded Knee, and nearly every In
dian of full and mixed blood in the
tribe attended. The eating of dog was
only preliminary to the principal bust
ness of the council, which was to emu
merate the grievances and select half
a dozen delegates to go to Washington
and see what the great father would
do for them.
The most important of the braves
met in big log house where a great
fire was blazing in the middle of the
room. Nearly eighty pots, in which
40 dogs stewed, were grouped about
this fire. 1t was impossible to get the
other forty pots into the house, and
these were hung over small fires built
outside It was esteemed a great honor
by the red men to sit in the house
around the big fire and the eighty
kettles, but the average white man
would regard the others on the outside
as the fortunate ones.
When the dogs had been eaten and

women and children the main work of

the tribe transgresses the law of the
white man he is dealt with too Sc
verely. Oftentimes the white men take
the law into their own hands and deal
out punishment too severe for the
crime. If the Indians attempt to re-
taliate in the same way they are
hunted down by soldiers and settlers.
They also assert that the government
is too niggardly in it's dealings with
them. They want more generous al
lowances and more liberal treatment.
The halfbreeds in the tribe are at the
back of both demands, and they will
contribute the bulk of the money
needed to defray the expenses of the
trip to the capital. They are the
financiers and will reap most of the
benefit should the worldly possessions
of the tribe be enriched by Uncle Sam.
The Ogallalas are part of the great
Sioux family, which has caused the
government more trouble and more ex-
pense than nearly all the other In
dams in the country. They regard
themselves as the natural lords of
creation, and imagine that the govern
ment lavishes money and food upon
them as tribute to their proves and
courage and in fear of their terrible
vengeance.
Since 1868, when Uncle Sam first un-
dertook the task of civiliZing them,
nearly $5O,OOO,OOO has been spent, and

AROUND THE FIRESIDE.

The way is long, my darling,
The road is rough and steep,
And fast across the evening Sky
I see the shadows sweep;
But oh, my love, my darling,
No i'll to us can come.
No terror turn us from the path,
For we are going home.
Your feet are tired, my darling
So tired the tender feet!
But think, when we are there at last,
How sweet the rest how sweet!
For 10, the lamps are lighted,
And yonder cleaning dome,
Before us shining like a star,
Shall guide our footsteps home.
We've lost the flowers we gathered
So early in the morn!
And on we go with empty hands,
And garments so1led and worn.
But oh! the great All Father
Will out to meet us come,
And fairer flowers and whittier ropes
There wait for us at home.
Art cold, my love, and famished?
Art faint and sore athirst?
Be patient yet little while,
And joyous as at first!
For oh, the sun sets never
Within that land of bloom,
And thou shalt eat the bread of life,
And drink life's wine at home
The wind blows cold, my darling,
Adown the mountain steep,
And thick across the evening sky
The darkling shadows creep!
But oh! my love, press onward,
Whatever trials come;
For in the way the Father set
We two are travelling home.

is as ferocious as his great grand
father was. The educated Indians
claim that the whites are responsible
for this failure. They say that the
government has made fifty-two treaties
with the tribe and violated every one
of them. In every case, however, the
first violation was committed by the
Sioux, and then the whites jumped in
and completed the task of annihilat-
ing the treaty.
One-fourth of the entire Indian ap-
preparation goes annually to the Sioux.
They are given agricultural imple-
ments, wagons, harness and fences.
At the various agencies the Indians
employ two days in every two weeks
going to and from the agencies for ra-
tions. They have to be practically
driven to do farming and are forced to
attend school.
Nothing can ever eradicate the love
Of blood and war from the nature of
the Sioux. They are a warning nation
by tradition and instinct Generally
speaking they are tall, large boned
and athletic. The school children
dress like civilized boys and girls, but
the older Indians still cling to their
moccasins, earrings, leggins, eagles
feathers, hedgehog quilts and paint. To
these old fathers Of the tribe may be
attributed much of the trouble with
the whites, although there is nothing

quite so bad as an educated Indian boy
who harks back to the ways of his an
cestors.
If the gambling instinct and the su
perstition of the Sioux could be
crushed they might be developed into
peaceful, law-abiding citizens They
will stake everything, including their
wives and children, on their games OF
chance. They are played generally
with the blue pits of plums carved
with symbols or with bones. While
the gambling is going on the monoton-
Gus thump of the tom-tom is incessant
Sometimes a buck will wager his
sweetheart, whose affections he has
won, pledging to resign her in case he
loses
Their superstition gives the medi-
cine man his chance. If the causes of
many unexpected massacres could be
accurately traced it would undoubtedl,
be found that some medicine man With
a reputation as prophet had had
vision in which he was commanded to
put the tribe on the war path.
The sun dance" has been prohibited
by the government, as it was found to
foster and encourage the fanatical and
murderouS traits of the Sioux In the
actual dance no one was hurt but the
young braves, as it was merely a test
of agonizing endurance. II was the
ceremony in which the young braves
qualified" as full fledged warriors 1t

the Indians danced around a pole
while hanging to ropes. They did not
hang with their hands. Two deep

breasts, and the rope was passed I'M

 Officer.

Saved the Life of Seriously Wounded
 Officer.
 Mrs. Jessie Benton Fremont, in her story of ''The Guard," a body of young men who followed "The Pathfinder" into the civil war and made a brilliant record for their courage and gallantry, tells pathetic story of a dumb beast who also was loyal and courageous:
 While the guard-a body of cavalry was drilling one day near St. Louis, a little fox-terrier followed one of the men, Herr Visa, a Hungarian officer, going with him to camp. He could not be driven away.
 The men all made pet of him, and named him 'the corporal" but though he was a1fable to them all. he made the Hungarian soldier his companion and friend, sleeping at his feet at night, and following him by day.
 When the guard made their memor- able charge at Springfield, Mo-, the Corporal charged with them, keeping beside his masters horse throughout the battle./ Herr Visa was wounded, and fell, apparently dead, in thicket. The corps swept past, his horse fled, wild with terror, but the little Corporal nestled close beside him, licking his face and trying to rouse him.
 There the dog remained through the bitter cold night. When morning came he ran to the distant road, and by his frantic barks and cries induced a pass er-by to enter the thicket
 The man, seeing only cold, stiff body, supposed the soldier to be dead, and would have hurried on; but the Corporal furiously drove him back, and would not be silenced until he saw his master move and speak, when he crouched, dumb and contented, at his feet.

TREES AND MORALITY.
The Park System as Related to the Higher
 City Life,


 City Life.
 The city of the future will not be treeless and shadeless. When a city has practically all outdoors to lay it's new streets on, these should be wide enough to allow row or more of trees in the middle, with green grass and com fortable seats, with open spaces where roots can find air and receive water, says Dr. Rothrock, the forestry com missioner. When we come to city trees as related to city morals, we open q wide subject. We have denounced the saloon none too hard, but just here let us halt moment. Are all those who frequent the saloon so inherently bad and besotted that they go there be- cause they prefer it to anything else 1t is possible to offer them? I do not be- ieve it. If a man has no other resting place when weary than a crowded, over heated, untidy home on the one hand, or an open, more comfortable saloon on the other hand, is it strange he takes the latter? 1 do not justify the ten dency. But l do suggest that more open air parks in your cities would save many man and woman who is not all ready depraved. Those who bring about betterment of tenement-houses and those who secure small parks within desert of brick walls deserve and will
