II So, Many OF His MncauIny Ideas
Were Tinged with Lurid sanity.
This man." said the keeper of the
asylum, "is one of our most interesting
patients"
what is his peculiarity?" asked one
of the visitors.
"He thinks he is the historian Macau-
lay. What are you working at this
morning, Mr.. Wall-I mean my lord"
II am about half through my history
of America" replied the dignified-loolS-
ing parsonage seated at the little table.
"Will you show these gentlemen the
pages you have just written?"
with pleasure"
"The manuscript he submitted with
a courteous bow read as follows:
AT this time the United States has
not a friend among the leading nations
of the earth. France, the old-time ally
of the republic, has been alienated by
an effusive display of American sym
pathy in behalf of the Germans during
the Franco-Prussian war. The sensa-
tional manner in which the horrors of
Russian prisons had been described in
American pictorial magazines, and the
popular indignation awakened by the
recital, had effectually cooled the
friendly ardor of the Muscovite gov
ernment. The hostility of Germany
had been aroused by trade misunder-
standings and jealousies. An arbitra-
tion treaty with England had failed by
reason of the hostility of the United
States senate. Italy still cherished a
feeling of resentment on account of the
troubles and humiIiations growing out
of a massacre of Italians in New Orleans
a decade before. Canada, on the north,
was distinctly unfriendly, and Mexico,
on the south, while outwardly amicable,
had never forgotten Cherubusco, Buena
Vista and Reseca de la Palma. The
struggle that was beginning between
the American union and Japan for the
possession of the Hawaiian islands had
estranged the rising power of the ori.
ent. With its foreign relations in this
unsatisfactory condition, with a sea
coast almost wholly unfortified, with
internal eissension of its own, with
hardly a battle ship that would keeI
afloat in a storm, and with an annual ex
penditure for pensions that would have
sufficed to maintain a very large stand
ing army, the United States leaped Joy
ously into war with several foreign
powers at once, as will be described il
the succeeding pages"
"Is he really insane?" asked one O.
the visitors.

THE INDIAN SPIRIT

The trouble among the Cheyenne In
dians has its origin deeper than In the
killing OF a sheep-herder. Until the au-
thorities see into the depths of the
problem involved in the treatment Of
the native Americans there will con-
tinue to be periodic outbreaks. We have
taken from the red men the hunting
grounds which belonged to them. con
fined a roaming race within narrow
limits, and have disregarded all the
habits OF their lives, which are the pro-
duct of the customs of their ancestors
for many generations. We have made
treaties with them and have broken
our agreements before the negotiators
were separated. We have assigned TO
them certain territory for their perma-
nent possessions and then, when gold
was discovered there, we have defended
by force of arms the claim Of the whites
TO the right to work the mines. We
have ruthlessly slaughtered the game
on which the Indians lived, and have
made laws which forbid them from
shooting whatis is left. In view of thes,
facts, it is not surprising that the In
dams should rebel, and that occasion
ally their outraged feelings should as
sert themselves. This continent be
longed to them by right of Inheritance
3 few hundred years ago. The various
tribes held It in common possession
and the various members of the tribe
enjoyed 1t in common. To-day wha
few Indians have survived themaltreat
ment to which they have been subjectel
are impotently struggling against fins
extinction. The fact that their spiri
is not yet crushed proves that they wer
made of good stuff, and increases tn
enormity of the moral offenses of tn
race which has been driving them b
the wall by a disregard OF all the obi
cations OF honor and Of humanity.
The restlessness which the Indian
feel under the present condition
springs from the same source as tha
which makes the small business me
protest against the encroachmants {
the big corporations. There was tim

AN ONION KING.
How "A Woodchopper Grew Immense
Iy Rich I'm Michigan.


In the reclaiming of swamp land In
southwestern Michigan several fortunes
have been made as rapidly as though
the lucky farmers had staked out a
paying claim in Creede or Cripple creek.
Onion kings and peppermint kings are
so numerous as TO jostle each other on
the highways. and their rise in sew,
eral cases has not been without ro-
mances.
Tom Burns was closing his third hard
winters work chopping wood and hew-
ing railway ties in northern Van Buren,
county's big swamp. He was a Light
hearted young fellow naturally, but
mystified his friends by sitting moodily
by himself at night, stunning all COM
pany Little by little the nature Of
Burns malady became known. He was
in love. His humble Indiana home ad-
joined the rich farm of the man whose
daughter had accepted his heart. No
Shylock ever guarded his Jessica with
greater care than did this Indiana yeo-
man. Burns meager wages piled up
slowly, and life seemed to have few
openings for n man without money.
One day last spring. while wandering
aimlessly through a wild part of the
extensive swamp. Burns came across
a tract Of land which had once been
cleared. A sudden inspiration came to
him. He wrote east to the owner of
the land and received permission TO
do what he pleased with the cleared
portion. Hiring a man and team, he.
plowed the land and fitted it for a crop.
He expended nearly half his savings in
onion seed.
When the weeds began to get a good
start he was nearly in despair, but he
worked with feverish energy and urged
his men to extra lnbors. All his money
had gone for seed and wages. His work
at last was nearly done, and he sat one
day alone in his rough shed, when
shouts from the edge of the clearing
called his attention. A woman had
found his secluded retreat. She had
waited all summer for the return of
her lover, and then had bid defiance to
oil restraint and come alone 100 miles
to find him.
Even nature seemed to be kind. The
fall rains which might injure his crop
were delayed, and the onions grew to
great size. Burns was married and in
stalled his wife in pleasant quarters
with a family where he had boarded
while he went back to gather his crop.
Such a yield had never before been
heard of. Thousands of bushels COW
cred the ground. The summers work
made Burns fortune. Burns sits To-
day in a better home thhnhis boyhood
ever knew, and tells again and again
of his experience in Van Buren county's
swamp, where to-day many are follow
ing in the path marked out by him.

when competition was not so bitter as
it is to-day and when business methods
were very different. When men remem-
Der those days and look at the rapidly
increasing power of the corporations
they grow Indignant and denonuce this,
that or the other law, OF court, or law
maker. They blindly rebel against en-
croachments on their individual liberty,
and attempt to resist the greater power
which they believe is overwhelming
them. The Indian is man and bro

which that imposes, we will treat him

HOW TO ROAST BEEF.


Temperature OF the Oven-A Prime
Pot Roast.
When beef is to be roasted it should
be placed in a very hot oven at first, so
that the surface will be quickly
Drowned. thus making a coating by
which the juices Of the meat will ali
be retained. The temperature of the
oven should then be lowered and the
meat cooked slowly and be frequently
basted, unless it is in a covered pan.
The time allowed for roasting large
piece of beef is usually IL minutes for
every pound and - minutes for the
pan.
To prepare piece of beef for roast
ing do not wash il, but wipe it off with
n damp cloth. Place it in the baking
pan, rub some beef drippings over the
top and dredge the top and sides with
flour. Put in the pan couple of spoon
fuls of drippings. Water should not
be added if you wish the roast to be a
nice brown, and do not add the salt and
pepper to the pan until after the sur
face OF the meat has been we'll Drowned.
Remember that after the first 20 min
utes roast beef requires a moderate oven
and baste the meat frequently with its
own drippings from the pan. If there
IS danger of the gravy growing too
brown or cooking away, a little beef
stock may be added to the pan, and fre-
quently a gill of cooking wine is added
to the pan in the last 20 minutes of cook
ing. giving the gravy delicious flavor.
When the roast is sufficiently cooked
remove it to a heated platter and make
the gravy. First turn off the top grease
from the liquid in the pan, and if there
is not sufficient liquid left add little
stock Lightly dredge the pan with
flour and stir over a hot fire. Season
with a spoonful of some sauce and
more salt and pepper if needed. Strain
into heated gravy boat and serve.
For a pot roast, get short, thick
piece of the cross rib of the beef and
lard it with little strips of clear, fat
pork. Put the pot in which the meat
is to be cooked over the fire, and when
it becomes hot put in the beef and
brown it, turning the meat until every
side is Drowned. Add half dozen little
onions, two tablespoonfuls of tomatoes,
a bay leaf, little chopped parsley
three cloves, n dozen whole black pep
pers, two garlic buds and cup of starch
Place the pot where the meat will just
steam and the liquid simmer for three
hours, keeping the pot closely Gov
cred. One hour before serving add two
carrots, sliced thin. and another cup OF
stock, if it is needed. Remove the meat
when done to heated platter and sea
son the sauce with salt and pepper and
a teaspoonful of Worcestershire sauce
and rub it through a coarse sieve. Poul
the sauce around the meath. Y. Sun
