Essay OF AN INDIAN BOY.

Original Ideas Advanced by an In
teliigent Savage of Tender Years.
There is nothing more original than
the early composition of an Indian boy.
The following example is still pre-
served as an instance in which it's
savage author epitomized in uncon-
scious parable and with excellent hui
NOR the relations of the red man and
his white brother, says the New York
Mail and Express. 1t is entitled: "Sto-
ry of Good Bird aid Bad Cat" The
essay follows: -----'-'''--.'---
"One day, bright day, a little bird
happy and stood on log and sang
ali day long. Tat bird doesn't know
anything about cat. She thinks nobody
is near to her. But bchi the near
log old SLY cat is watchirS. She want
to eat for supper, ~ s.4c links about
stealing all the time. The old cat came
very slowly, and by and by she go after
the little bird, but she does not see him
and sang loud again. She sang loud
like this: L am always try to do what
is right; wen ever die l go to Heaven
That bird said these all words, and ]
shall not forget the little bird what it
said, and these all words it said and
after two or three minutes go died; the
cat jumped and catch and kill, eat all
up except little things from bird,
wings, legs or skin, and that bird is

Annual Picnic Held In Southwestern
Park Yesterday.
HSeimmering lodge, Sons of Hermann,
had its annual picnic in Schuermeyer's
Southwestern park yesterday and a
very enjoyable picnic it was for those
who participated. The pleasures were
many and varied, childrens' games,
races, dancing, ETC., being the chief
features. The best of harmony pre-
vailed throughout the day and as the
weather clerk and the executive COM
mittee were in unison the day was a
very pleasant one. The dancing plat
form was covered with both young and
old people throughout the day.
The largest part of the crowd went
out in the afternoon, the Edison line
being taxed at times to convey the
people, but an excellent service was af-
forded and everyone was conveyed to
and from the grounds easily. Super
intendent Wakefield, of the line, ran
the cars through from Government
hill to the park for one fare.
1t was late last night before the cell
ebraters adjourned from their place of
celebration. siE 4-

attendance had very spirited target

MR.. ANGEL TALKS.
About Himself-Thinks He Can Satisfy
the Sultan.

.
Ann Arbor, Mich, May S1.-James B.
Angel says Turkey is now discussing
the acceptability of himself as Amer
lean minister. He arrived at his home
last night.
DR.. Angel has for years been chair
man of the American Board of For
eign Missions, whose work in Turkey
has been carried on to the great dissat-
isfaction of the Sultan.
I'm view of the muddle of matters"
said Mr.. Angel, II cannot say when I
shall leave for Turkey. The presump-
ton, / may tell you candidly, is that
shall go, although definitely / cannot
say. OF course it may be that the Sui
tan may refuse to be appeased and will
continue to consider me too good man
as you please, to have about"
In speaking of the possibility of his
being appointed minister to Spain If
the Sultan should refuse to withdraw
his protest, DR.. Angel said: ITO my
knowledge my name has not been men,
toned in connection with the Spanish
ministry. 1t was my belief that Presi-
dent Mckinley intended to appoint a
man to that Office whose name will
carry the greatest political weight"
II may say that 1 am told that Mr..
Mckinley has already offered the
Spanish ministry to a man well
equipped for the work but that the Of
fer has been refused"

CHAIN OF HUMAN BONES.

Made in Libby Prison by n Member
of q New York Regiment.
Cyrus o. Thornton, farmer living
few miles out of Bolivar, Mass, has
an odd watch chain. 1t is made of hui
man bones. The chain consists of eight
links, each a trifie more than an inch
long, connected with plated rings. The
chain is about ten inches long and has
been highly polished by years of wear
and glistens like ivory, says the Fall
River News.
Thornton secured the chain at Peters
burg, Va, in 1864. He was a member
of company Z, Fiftieth New York en-
gineers. A member of the Twenty
first New York infantry made two
chains while confined in Libby prison,
and on his release met Thornton and
sold him one chain for $50 in green
backs. Thornton has forgotten the
makers name. The bones were taken
from amputated arms and legs, and it
required IS months time to carve out
the chains. For many, years after he
came home from the war Thornton
wore the chain every day, but for sew
eral years he has worn it only on Me-
mortal day and at grand army reunions.
Some of his neighbors laughed at the
idea of the bones being taken from hui
man bodies, and he sent the chain TO q
surgeon, who examined it and pro-
nounced it to be of human bones.

FAVORABLE TO HEALTH.
Athletic Sports Induiged In to Rea-
sonable Extent.

sopable Extent.
Many of the athletic sports, If pur-
sued for sport or as recreation, are
valuable remedial helps and aid to-
ward physical improvement, says the
North American Review. Unfortunate
~, the spirit of emulation in athletics,
which in some communities has grown
into intense rivalry, is likely to lead to
excuses in training and practice for
contests, which unless checked and
brought down to rational basis may
do more harm than good. Many young
men seem to think that because the
practice Of athletics is favorable to
health the more they can get of this
practice the better. This is an err
roneous impression, for it is as possible
to overwork in athletics.as it is in bust
ness and great many young people do
themselves injury by their excessive
zeal in the practice of competitive ex-
ercise. ~"- -
In this line of physical activity, as in
any other, there is limit to human
capability and it is possible to develop
the muscular and nervous systems to
the detriment of the heart and lungs
or of the digestive system, But the con-
ditions under which athletics are usual
'ly practiced are so favorable to the
maintenance of health and vigor that
few persons who were sound at the time
of commencing their athletic efforts
have injured themselves by the prac-
tice of these vigorous exercises. 1t is
true that certain number of young
men who were distinguished for their
supremacy in certain athletic events
have died young. But the number of
young men who are now practicing
athletic exercises in this country and
appearing in public contests is very
large, as many as 600 or 700 entries be-
ing recorded in some of the great city
meetings,
