remained alive they could not do this,
but when death claimed the old war
rlor they at once chose Roddy to sue
ceed him. For several months past
Roddy has been living in Chicago
where he has been prosecuting certain
indian claims. His residence is some
where in Wisconsin. Long before
reaching manhood Roddy embarked in
traffic with the Indians. His father be-
fore him had been an Indian trader
and he grew up amid the perils of the
frontier, fearing nothing in human
gulse and wholly Indifferent to dan
ger. Indeed, he frequently spent weeks
and months in the Indian settlements,
acquiring skill in the exercises of the
bow and forming many warm personal
attachments.
When he grew older, Roddy, or Chief
White Buffalo, as he is to be known in
the future, found a further field for
his abilities in providing Indian bands
for spectacular purposes. He was one
OF the first men to contract for sup
ply Of braves to take part in Buffalo
Bllls show. He takes Indians to ex-
positions and carnivals, and is even
planning to take few hundred to the
Paris exposition next year. He want
ed to bring some to Chicago for the
fall festival, but his proposal was not
favorably received. If the Winnebago
indians had any of the old spirit, the
new chief might find his hands full
of trouble before long One of the
braves, Green Cloud, who is now in
seclusion in Nebraska claims to hold
the real right Of succession to the
chieftainship. He is a bad Indian. Mrs.
Roddy says he drinks whisky. Tribal
war might possibly result, but Roddy
Is now on his way to Nebraska, where
he hopes to convert Green Cloud to his
support. Green Cloud is credited with
having killed old Black Hawks only

French Studying German.

1t is said that the study of German
is increasing in France, while the study
of English is on the decline. In the
Ecole des Sciences Politiques, in Paris,
where diplomats are trained, many
more study German than English.
Many young Frenchmen are now being
sent to Germany and Austria instead
of England to get acquainted with the
language Of the victors of 1870. In a
Paris lycee 143 students study German
to "a English. In another school the
proportion of German to English is
800 to 1888. In the Marselles gymna-
SUM two-thirds study German, one
third English. 1t is believed that this
French interest in German will have a
powerful influence in the commerce
and politics Of the world in the next
generation.

The Thumb Mark Test,

1t seems an astonishing thing that
the natural signature, the impression
of the thumb or finger-tip, is not used
to greater extent than it is for purposes
OF identification. If the thumb be
lightly pressed upon a surface smeared
with printing ink. and then pressed
upon clean paper an impression is OBJ
tanned which is distinctive for the D9r-
tlcular individual who owns the mem
ber No two thumbs Or fingers are
alike in the arrangement of their null
titudinous lines, and a seal which can
not readily be mislaid or lost. The
French police use this test to assure
themselves of the identity of a pris
oner; but surely the system could he
usefully extended. A newspaper cor
respondent who recently pleaded for
such an extension of the thumb-mark
test stated that once when abroad he
was in great straits for money, al
though he held cheques for considera-
BILE amount simply because he could
not prove his identity. If the local
banker had only had an impression of
his finger-tip, as well as authority to
pay, all difficulty would at once have
vanished.

precarious crop of potatoes. Cabbages

n MILLIONAIRE
Whose Entire Wealth Was Invested In
the Paper On His Wall.

Whose Entire Wealth Was Inverted IN
the Paper on His Walls
While in johannesburg I saw a
sample of what was probably the most
valuable wallpaper ever used in a
house." says traveller recently re-
turned from South Africa. 1T was a
share certificate in one of the richest
gold mines of the Eand. In the early
days an Englishman who worked in
one Of the first mines opened took
his pay partly in cash, but chiefly in
scrip of shares of the company. For
many years the mine yielded little,
and the company was unable to pay
dividends. After a time the English
man got discouraged with working the
pick for these nicely engraved but un-
marketable pieces of paper, and left
the place for another part of the couu-
try, where he continued to work hard
for living, barely making both ends
meet. The miners wife used the
share certificates, with some odds and
ends OF prints from papers sent to
them, in papering the walls of their
cabin, and they remained there as a
grim reminder of the hollowness OF
mans expectations. Things got
worse, and the miner and his wife
were near starvation, when one day
broker newly arrived from England
hunted up the cabin and made an
offer for the wallpaper. The price he
mentioned was SO large as to excite
the miners curiosity, and on investi-
cation he found that he was a large
shareholder in one of the most profit
able gold mines in the world. He kept
his shares, and today he is one of the
biggest mining kings. But even he
has had no wallpaper since

wealth as did the covering Of the walls

DEWEY'S ONLY SON.

Admiral Dewey's only son bears the
name of George Goodwin Dewey. He
is in the employ of large dry goods
commission house of New York city
and is said to be quite successful as a
business man. When in a Cincinnati
dry goods house the other day he was
Hobsonized by an unblushing female
clerk. At the time his father won the
victory at Manila bay the young man
was in New York city. His associates
proposed to fete him and make much
ado because he was the son of his
father. Then the Dewey spirit came
to the front, for young George rose
up and said that any honors of that
sort should go to his father and not
to him. He declared that he was only
quiet American citizen; that his
father had done no more than his

The Alternative.

The responsibility of taking human
life under any circumstances is tre
mendous. Justifiable as it may be to
kill in self-defence, we cannot but
admire the wonderful self-control of
an Armenian who preferred to die
rather than live with blood upon his
hands. 1t was during the horrible
massacres in Armenia. A native, saws
the Rev. George H. Hepworth was en-
ployed in one of the railway stations.
He was standing on the platform when
the mob approached. A Turk who knew
the man to be faithful servant, hand
ed him pistol, saying: 'It is an out
rage, take this and defend yourself.
1t is good for six of the rascals" The
Armenian took the weapon, hesitated
for a moment, then handed it back
with groan. Il can't do it, he said.
Il had rather die than commit mur-
der" In less than ten minutes he was
a bruised and bleeding corpse, and the
fiends had started on the track of an
other victim.

1t is not generally known, but is an

and of a dull color-drab or grav
rather than white. The type does not
show up nearly as distinctly as it
should. When travelling by train and
reading you try to hold the book or
paper steady, but the type jiggles ir-
regularly back and forth as the result
or the motion of the car and the shalzi-
ness OF your hand. Your eyes also do
a great deal Of dancing, not only in
pursuit of the bobbing letters. but in
addition because you are also shaken

anything else. One day she asked the

too old to wear white dresses. The
