Indian Women Who Farm.

In the Indian village on the banks
of the Minnesota river, about one mile
down stream from Shakopee, lives a
band of Indians who till the soil, make
bows and arrows and moccasins, and
trade with the neighboring farmers.
Among the villagers are some interest
ing women, one of them being Mrs.
Otherday, the sister of Shakopee of Lit
tie Six, one of the most noted chiefs
of the Sioux nation. The women of
the Shakopee colony assist in the farm
ing and make beautiful beadwork,
which they sell at the summer resort
hotels. Mrs. Otherday is a strong,
well-preserved elderly woman, much
looked up to by her own people and her
white neighbors.

How the Apache OF Africa Hunts the
Ostrich. "
The Bushman divests himself OF all
his membranes; water vessels, food,
cloak, assegai and sandals are all left
behind, Stark naked, except for the
hide patch about his middle, and, arm
ed only with his bow, arrows and knife,
he sets forth. The nearest ostrich is
feeding more than a mile away, and
dried, yellow grass, but that is enough
for the Bushman. Worming himself
over the ground with the greatest eau
ton, he crawls fiat on his belly to-
ward the bird. No serpent could trav-
erse the grass with less disturbance.
In the space of an hour and half he
has approached within a hundred
yards Of the tall bird. Nearer he dare
not creep on this bare plain, and at
more than twenty-five PAGES he cannot
trust his light reed arrows. He lies
partially hidden in the grass, his bow
and arrows ready in front of him,
trusting that the ostrich may draw

blazing sun, close on two hours, but
his instinct serves him, and at last, as
the sun shifts little, the great ostrich
feeds that way. It is a magnificent
male bird, jet black as to its body
plumage, and adorned with magnificent
white feathers upon the wings and tail.
Kwaneet's eyes glisten, but he moves
not musclce. Thirty PAGES, twenty
FIVE, then twenty. There is a light
musical .twang ucpon the hot air and a
tiny, yellowish arrow sticks we'll into
the breast Of the gigantic bird. The
ostrich feels a sharp pang and turns
at once. In that same instant Sec
ond arrow is lodged in it's side, just
under the wing feathers. Now the
stricken bird raises its wings from its
body and speeds forth into the plain.
But Kwaneet is quite content. The
poison Of those two arrows will do its
work effectually. He gets up, follows
the ostrich, tracking it, after it has
DISAPPEARED from sight, by its spoor, and
in two hours the game lies there before
him amid the grass, dead as a stone.

remaining so quietly at home, instead
Of going to fight for his country, and
he determined to win, by one bold
strike, their appreciation and gratitude.
So, taking rife, he hid himself In the
bushes at the roadside in the forest,
and when the advance guard passed he
fired and killed one soldier. The re-
suit of the deed was not long delayed.
Two hours afterward a Prussian bat
talon occupied the village and the in
habitants, men and women, were or
dered to assemble in the public square.
In fairly plain French the commandant
addressed them;

will set fire to your village at its four
corners. Now go home, and at the first
beat of the drum come back here"
The peasants turned away, asking
each other in frightened whispers who
had fired the shot. Bancroche entered
the inn of Cog d'Argent, and as soon
as he saw the white, fearful face Of
Gillet he said, brusQuely:
1T was you"
Gillet tried to answer, but Bancroche
interrupted him authoritatively:
Don't take the trouble to lie; it was
you"
Marietta and two or three others,
who heard his words, stopped in star
tied surprise.
What would they do to him If they
knew it," asked one.
"They would shoot him. And if
they do not know it they will burn the
village"
All were silent, terrified, except Gill
let, who cried, with chattering teeth:
I'm the name of pity, do not give me
up"
Wretch, would you have us all
burned?"
At this instant the drum sounded.
Listen" said Bancroche, rising;
''listen a moment. You, Sylvan Gill

But neither must the village be burned.

A great connection seems to have taken
place among railway circles, owing to a
contemplated through car service between
the Pacific coast and Chicago which is to
operate one day each week. This is not a
new departure by any means, as the Den
yer & Rio Grande Railroad company and
its connections have been operating a
through car service between the Pacific
and Atlantic coasts, via Salt Lake, Pueblo,
Denver, Kansas City and Chicago for
years, and three days each week, viz
every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday
evening. The cars for this through SER
vice are of the latest Pullman design, and
are supplied with new clean linen and bed
ding throughout. A Pullman porter is as
signed to each car. These cars are under
the personal supervision of special excur-
sion agent, whose duty it is to see that
passengers are given every comfort and
attention.
