THE INDIAN MIND.
Some Striking illustrations Of thu
Peculiarly of Its
Workings.

In contest of wits the North Amer
lean Indian is almost always at a dis
advantage with the white man. HIS
mind is not accustomed to the quick
thinking which centuries of civ:liza.
ton have developed. An old resident
of Spokane, Wash.-Mr. Crowley-has
told many stories of the old days,
which illustrate the quality Of the In.
dams thinking when he comes into
gence.
Mr.. Crowley once carried on business
as buyer of grain, and Indian farmers
brought him their products. One day
an Indian told him that he should nc
longer sell him his oats, because anoth-
er white man would give mere for
them.
VERY WELL" was the answer. II can
not afford topay you more"
But after awhile the Indian farmer
came back and offered Mr.. Crowley a
load of oats at the old price. -,
"How is this?" asked Mr.. Crowley.
Doesn't the other man still Fay you
your price?"
HE pay me more for bushel," said
the Indian; "yeu pay me more for
load"
This was as much as to say that the
other man had given him greater
price at the expense of the measure
ment of the grain; but the untutored
mind :. of the savage had taken in the
fact only in the way his reply indicated.
Another story told by Mr.. Crowley
was of the visit of Gen. Philip Sheridan
to the Spokanes in an early day. Sher.
idan related to the Indians, through an
interpreter, the wonders of the rail-
road, and then waited to see what eff
feet the revelation would have upon
them.
What do they say?" he asked the in
terpreter.
"They say they don't believe it" was
the answer.
Sheridan then described the steam
boat. and the interpreter repeated this.
''What do they say to that?" he gen.
eral asked again, seeing the Indian
faces all impressive.
"They say they don't believe that,
either"
Then the general gave an account
Of the telephone, and told how a man
at the end of long wire had talked to
a man at the other end of it. The in
terpreter remained silent.
"Well," said the general. "why don't
you interpret that to them?"
Because don't believe that story
myself" answered the interpreter. He
was conscientious man, and could not
assume the moral responsibility of re-
peating such an incredible tale.
Somewhat more 'canny," as. the
Scotch would call it, was the response
which some of the far Northwestern
indians used to make to the mission
aries when reproached by them with
The wickedness Of their race. They de-
:lared that when Christ had accom-
,lished HIS mission to the white men
he was about to carry the Gospel to the
indians. but some envious white men
SAID: eff we let Him go the Indians
will become too smart for u.s." So they
crucified Him, and the Indians have
ever since been left in a state of de-
pravity for which the whites could
blame only Observation-Disclosures

GREAT HEAD.
A Small Saleslady Who Knows q
Thing or Two About Manip-
ulating Stock.

It was just before New Years day, and
Mamie and Sadie were having a friendly
chat over the counter. Mamie was dimin-
utive salesgirl, not much older than Sadie,
whose daily attention was given theoret-
ically to the cry of "Cahsh!"
"Say, Mamie" remarked Sadie, did We
see them calendars on the table two rooms
over?"
(which ones?"
"Them 25-cent ones"
"Did see emp with peculiar emphasis
from Mamie as she pulled open drawer
and pointed triumphantly to two specimens
of the said calendars.
"You bought two of 'em?" in awe
struck tones from Sadie.
"Well, I amt bought 'em yet. just
picked out two of 'em and put 'em away.
They'll mark the ones that's left LET, down to
here back and buy 'em, quick. See?
Sadie saw, and her mouth fell open in ad'
miring awe. Then she recovered herself.
Say! will We save one for me?"
"Sure."
Sadie rushed off, and inside of two min
utes a third calendar was in the drawer
waiting for drop in prices.-N. Y. Sun.

THE UNEXPECTED REMARK.
1t Comes from little Willie in Com,
pany and Makes His Parents
Feel Sick.

No well-trained adult mind ever
thinks of the things that children will
say, and the unexpected" from them
is always held in dread expectancy. A
fresh example was afforded the other
evening in family on Adelaide street.
There was company for dinner and
the platter in front of the: host con-
tanned fine roast of beef. He drew the
sharp carving knife across the ringing
steel for. few times, just because that
is way carvers have, drove the fork
deep into the steaming beef, described
a scalping-knife flourish in the air and
gracefully began operations. Two nice
marbleized slices clear across the roast
had resulted and he was turning off
the third when the blade struck a
skewer. made sliding upward motion
and came out at the top with a result
that the proposed, slice looked like a
frost bitten leaf curled by the SUM-.
The man could not say intense things
IN the presence of his guests. but he
froze his wife with look, made grim
joke about the indigestibility of roast
ed hardwood. inquired whether the
butcher also ran a woodward, dug the
skewer out viciously and ordered little
Willie, who had made several attempts
to tell something. to Keep still or leave
the table. His evident temper led to an
embarrassing silence and little Willie
saw an opening that he could not resist
''Cook has burnt her nose orful," he
announced.
TOO bad" said the father. whose
good humor was coming back. 'How
did she do it?"

with her teeth."-Detroit Free Press.

that he had never tasted beer, wine oE
