VALUABLE SILK UMBRELLA.
Man Who Preferred 1t to Gift of Two
Hundred Dollars.

A travelling man of this city has a
very poor opinion of the value of his
own promissory note. He is a man
who stands well in the eyes of his firm,
as he is wonderfully successful in
holding a certain class of trade that
is very treacherous in its tendency.
Always after trip, when he had been
successful in securing orders, the firm
made him a handsome present, con-
sisting Of something like fine silk
umbrella, scarf pin, suit Of clothes,
or something similar, to show THEN
appreciation of his services.
Billy got hard up last spring and to
tide him over the squeeze his firm
loaned him 5000, taking his note for
the same. Billy was very grateful for
the confidence reposed in him, but
at the same time he said to some Of
his friends that he had no idea he
would ever be able to pay the old
thing. When he returned from a
trip short time ago he was greeted
effusively by the head of the firm.
"Well, Billy" said the old man,
you've done well and we'll have to
remember you. ! don't know, hard
ly what to give YOU"
"Oh, most anything, only I've got
enough silk umbrellas"
"All right; I'll see my wife tonight
and she'll know something or otherto
give you"
SO the head Of the firm consulted
his wife and she said to make him a
present that was worth something, in
fact, to give him back his note. That
met the old mans views, and on the
day following he called Billy into the
Office and told him that he had con-
Guided to return him the note as a
present. Billy was surprised, but not
discounted. After a moments hest
tation, he said;
"Mr. s., if it doesn't make any
difference to you, ] believe / would
rather have another silk umbrella"
Billy knew the umbrella was worth
something, but he knew the note was
worth nothing And so did the old
man.--Cincinnati Commercial Trib-

Indian war ponies on the reservation.
Rcd Clond had modified force OF 500
braves and was making preparations to
join Sitting Bull on the Little Big Horn
when word was brought TO Crook by a
friendly Indian. Crool, hesitated about
interfering with Red Clouds band as it
was stili on the reservation and osten-
sibly at peace. Under the plea Of MILF
tary cNigcncics, however. he did the
next best thing and coniiscated all the
ponies which had been gathered for the
use Of the warriors. This kept Red
Cloud and his men at home and pre-
vented them from Joining sitting Bull.
and the latter got creditor conducting
the campaign.
1t was not until after word of Gus
ter's sad fate was received that Crook
realized the full effect of his timely ac-
ton. IL was the intention of the In
dams in case a junction between the
forces of Red Cloud and Sitting Bull
had been effected to hold their position
on the Little Big Horn and conduct a
long warfaSe against the whites. The
prestige gained by the victory over
Custer would have brought other tribes
into the fight, and it would have been
comparatively easy to make the strug-
gle long and bloody one. As II was,
Sitting Bull was unable TO get rein
forcements and had to fall back before
the army sent to avenge Custer, retreat
ing across the British line. Maddened
by the defeat of his plans, chatting un-
der Sitting Bulls stolen glory, Red
Cloud was still too foxy and diplomatic
to make open complaint Of his real
feelings. But he did not let the matter
pass in silence. He filed claim at
Washington demanding pay for the
ponies taken by Crook on the ground
that he and his immediate followers
were peaceful Indians who had been
deprived of their property without
cause. Gen. Crook was called upon for
an explanation. and he made it so
strong and clear that the government
declined to allow Red Clouds claim,
although he paid several visits to Wash
ington. N, 81

lily and acknowledge allegiance to Red
Cloud, although each tribe has its own
lsub-chief. At one time the Sioux could
put $4,000 warriors in the field. They
are nation of fighters, and up to seven
years ago caused the government more
trouble than all the other red men in
the west combined. Their lastuprising
was in 1890, when the ghost dance eX-
element led to the battle of Wounded
Knee and subsequently to the killingof
Sitting Bull. Since then they have Us
ltensibly been at peace with the whites.
Sitting Bull, Two Strike, American
Horse, Gall and Rain-in-the-Face have
been more prominently before the pub
lie than Red Cloud because they were
fighting chiefs and conducted opera
tons in the field. They were in fact,
however, only lieutenants who carried
out the plans and orders of the willy old
Indian Red Cloud remained at home
and mapped out campaigns, enthused
the young men, forwarded supplies, and
IN other ways enacted the role of gen
eral in chief He was the brains, the

plotter of the nation, while Sitting Bull
and the others were the actual fighters.
Red Cloud was a master in the art of
idiplomacy-a veritable Talleyrand in
red. He would meet the army men and
agents of the government and make
them believe he was seeking to secure
peace and had counseled his people
against war, when at the same time he
Twas actively directing operations in the
4Aeld and forcing his warriors to con-
fict.
In the opinion of such good judges as
Gems. Crook, Gibbon and Terry, and Col.
Forsythe. il was Red Cloud himself who
planned the trap into which Gen. Gus
ter and his command was drawn in the
battle of the Little Big Horn, June 20,
1876. Sitting Bull had never shown him
self possessed of so high an order Of
stragetic ability. He was simply a
brave, desperate fighter. During all of
tits memorable and disastrous cam
paign couriers were continually carry
ing orders from Red Cloud to Sitting
Bull. The former had intended to be In
at the death Of Custer himself and per-
eonally direct the slaughter. That he
did not do SO was owing 10 the prompt
action Of Gen. Crook in seizing all the

Some Plain Facts.

Grave errors, injustice, wrongs Of
greater or less degree, arise from lack
of knowledge of the truth, and more
frequently from deception.
The most infamous case on record
of deception and injustice is the at
tempt to demonetize silver as a money
of final redemption in the United
States.
There is no learned Judge, skilled
lawyer, or court Of justice that is
capable of reconciling the effort with
the constitutional laws that govern
the issue of money in this country.
The people have been deceived,
officials in power, chosen to admins
ter justice under the laws, have
ignored their sworn duty, and given
aid to the scheme that has paralyzed
industry, reduced property values
one-half, and beggared millions.
There is no authority of law, either
specific or by inference, by which
gold alone is made the only money
with which to discharge debts, either
public or private. The effort to
make it so is unconstitutional and
national calamity.
Plain and ample information, facts,
and truth, concerning this almost sue
cessful scheme to corner the wealth
of the people, is now being printed
in the Cincinnati Enquirer, news
paper which the combined power of
money has failed to muzzle or buy.

HOW GERMANY pRospFRs
Gives her Young People a Thorough I'D
ucation Along Practical Lines

oeeNANh HAthb AAeetAe1A rAhN9t
President Search, Of our National
Manufacturers association, in re-.
cent address, gave the true explapa-
ton Of Germanys phenomenal indus
trial progress. He said:
"There are manual training schools
and technical schools Of a higher or
lower grade for almost every industry,
for weaving, knitting, soap making,
building, clock making, brewing, tan
ming, dyeing, farming, horse shoeing,
plumbing, etc. Students are given a
thorough fitting for special fields Of
work. The application of art to in
dustral ends makes the painter some
thing more than artist. In the tex
tile industries the student masters all
the arts of the industry, not to get o
mere speaking acquaintance with
them, but for the purpose of becom-
ing a practical textile craftsman no
less than an Office manager. He
learns the art of designing and is
obliged to fit the designs to the loom.
Not only must he know loom craft
and designing, but how to dye his
yarns, and more than this he must be
spinner and wool washer. If an in
dustry languishes in Germany, COM
mission inquiries into the cause and
recommends remedial measures.
When the tanning industry showed
signs Of a decline, tanning school
was established in Saxony. When the
introduction of machinery deprived
of work the clock mechanics of the
Black Forest, a school for clock max
ing was established, and the result mas
been the restoration of a lost business.
The same method has been applied
to the culture of the sugar beet, the
study of navigation and marine en-
cheering in the ship yards of Bre-
men, Hamburg, Kiel and Stettin, and
to the mining industries in Saxony
and the Hartz mountains. The dis
tinguished position attained and held
by Germany is due to the fact that
every effort put forth and every step
taken was made along scientific lines.
Enterprising manufacturers had the
intelligence and farsightedness to
see the capacity to compete, and the
skill to improve over all other COM
petitors."

The Age of Needles.
une

There is reason to believe that
needles were known to the ancient
Romans, and by them used from a
very early date. Phe Hebrew, Chinese
and Hindoo records furnish abundant
evidences that they also were familiar
with this useful implement. 1t is
not remarkable that none have been
discovered, as the quality of steel of
which they are made will not resist
the coroding influence of the atmos-
nhere. The Moors taught the Span
iards how to make needles, and to
Spain England owes her knowledge
of this important bit of handicraft.
For many years, however, the manu-
facture Of needles in England was in
the hands of foreigners, who guarded
the secrets Of their trade with the
most jealous care. 1t was not until
the year 1850 that this industry be-
came of any great commercial inn
portance in England.
