"A Lake of Wine.

1t recently took two powerful steam
pumps a week to fill the largest vine
reservoir in the world. Properly
speaking, 1t is lake-a lake OF red
wine 104 feet long, 81 feet wide and "a
feet deep.
OF course it is in California that
State Of big things. that this wonder
Is to be seen-down at Asti by the
Russian River valley, and the lake it
self is the blending Of the juices OF
grapes from a thousand vines. AS a
system Of blending wine it is in this
respect as much 4 wonder as in point
Of quantity and place of keeping.
It is another proof also that neces-
sity is the mother OF invention, for II
it had not been that the colonists
could find no way to dispose OF their
wine in a profitable manner, owing
to its abundance, it is probable the
lake would never have been created
and another wonder thus lost to the
world.

CHIEF RED CLOUD.
EPISODES IN THE CAREER OF A
VERY MlscHiEvous INDIAN,

He Was the Most influential Medicine Man
During the Last UprlslnB-How He Used
HIS Power-Ais Shack on the oralIala
Reservation,
Red Cloud is the single survivor of
that famous coterie OF Sioux Indian
leaders Of which -Man-Afraid-o
His-Horses, Spotted Tail and Sitting
Bull helped to make history on the
western prairies. It cannot be truth
fully said. however, that "Old Red"
as he is familiarly known, was as
powerful in war or debate as the three
great chieftains who have been men
toned. He possessed all their crafti-
ness. and 1t cannot be denied that he
enjoyed certain elements of personal
magnetism which marked him as
leader among his tribesmen. He was
pre-eminent in planning mischief, but
he was, as rule, mysteriously absent
when his plans were carried out ac-
cording to his mapping.
Perhaps the most atrocious piece OF
work in which he took a hand was
the Fort Mckinney massacre, in
which over a score Of United States
soldiers were led into ambush and
slaughtered. That was when he was a
vigorous young buck. Before this la
mentable tragedy "Old Red" was a
common maurader, full of devilment
and it is probable that he took many a
scalp from the wagon trains then on
their way to Utah and the land of gold
beyond the Rockies
But for the last thirty years Red
Cloud has led a comparatively peace
full life. While his crafty counsel was
often sought by his tribesmen, and his
rank among them was that Of leader,
the government did not clothe him
with the dignity Of chieftain, but
reckoned him only as Red Cloud, DOW.

and now it's the same when he leaves

telephone is useful in many other
ways. You can order groceries and
other supplies and you can talk to
your friends"

the telephone is very useful, but it
has its drawbacks. In fact. I'm sorry
that ours was put In"

her up and offered her IS a month

accepted the offer. Mrs. Ricketts,

too dangerous to be its possessor.
When the Sioux and Cheyennes re-
belled against the invasion of gold
seekers in the Black hills in 1876, Red
Cloud did not go on the war path, al
though many of his band cast their
fortunes with Sitting Bull, Gail, Grass
and Rain-in-the-Face and we're final

White Clay creek, rifle shot distance
from the agency buildings, and at the
foot OF long range of buttes.
Red Cloud watched the construction
of his house with satisfied curiosity.
He figured that it was sort Of pay

ment conf1scated during a time when
the soldiers were at war with the Sioux
and for which he had never received
a penny. This bit of robbery, for it
amounted to little else, ranked and
still rankles In the breast Of the old
fellow. Always bitter enemy Of the
whites, this wholesale swoop on his
herd forever sealed his hatred When
the house was finished, the carpenters
erected pole in front of the house
and hoisted the American flag. The
spectacle Of the emblem flying above
his own abode SO angered Red Cloud
that he cut the halyards and tore the
flag into strips as soon as it fell hut-

Red Cloud was very old man when
the Sioux war of 1890 filled the west

campaign well remember him as bent
and tottering, wrapped in a long, fad
ed purple overcoat and baggy trousers,
the legs of which fell upon a pair Of
poorly decorated moccasins. His face,
deeply creased with the age and woe

THE FATHERS SHOT,.
Though it Blinded His Son. 1t Did Nos
Swerre the Boy from His Purpose.


"Never mind, father, blindness

all his sons prospects of advance
ment.
One pleasant Gay in 1858 the two
had gone hunting together. A flock OF
cartridges flew over fence where the
father had no right to shoot; but as
he was moving forward they flew back
toward his son. The father, so eager
TO bring down a bird that he did not
think of his sons danger, fired. Sever
al shots entered Henrys breast, and
one went through each glass of {; pair
of spectacles he wore. In an instan:
he was stone blind for life. ..
But within ten minutes from the
time of the accident which deprived
him of eyesight forever this boy Of
iron nerve had determined that even
blindness should not swerye him from
his purpose.
"'Will you read the newspaper to
me?' were his first words to his sister
when they carried him home.
He was obliged to abandon law, but
he began the study of political ccono-
my with a zeal rarely equalled, mean
while having friends read to him in
his moments of leisure the works OF
Milton, Burke. Wordsworth, all OF
George Eliot's novels, and Il wide
course OF general literature, for he was
determined that his blindness should
not limit the breadth OF his culture"
