The Indian II. Not su,,.,.

For the Indian is not, as the popular
idea figures him, stolid, taciturn, or even
sullen in his everyday life. He may be
shy and silent in the presence of stran-
gers, but in his home life he is falka-
tive-eager to give and receive the
rews, and to gossip about it. He is of a
merry, laughtsr-loving people, and
likes to make good-natured fun of an
others peculiarities. Thus, one of her
companions may jeeringly call very
slender woman the shadow of mocca-
sin string. Once, on the prairie, in the
bright, hot sunlight, heard an Indian
say TO another who was very stout:
my friend, stand still for little
while. l want 20 sit down in the shade
and cool off," Some years ago was OH
the reservation of tribe known as the
Big Bellies--Gros Ventres-at Fort
Belknap, Mont; and while was there
a new agent came to them. He was a
fat man. and one of the Indians, who
met the agent for the first time inmy
presence, said, as he shook hand nh
him: "Ah, you are one of our ! 5 peo-
pic. You. too, are Big Belly. - George
Bird Grinnell, in Atlantic.

PAY OF SPANISH SOLDIERS.
The Colonels Get the Money in Lump
and the Privates Never
See 1t.
go Inter Ocean,

Spanish army accounts are STRANGELY
and wonderfully made. From their
absence of exactness and disregard of
all detail one would certainly be led
10 believe that the bookkeeping depart
ment OF the Madrid war Office has very
few clerks in its employ. A certain
amount OF money is allowed to each
regiment and charged in gross to the
colonel, who is solely responsible for
| its disbursement.
According to an explanation made
recently by the marquis of Montoro,
secretary of the treasury in Havana,
this lump sum of money covers the en-
tire expenses of the regiment, from
uniforms and equipment to soldiers
pay. Each regimental colonel is his
own bookkeeper and paymaster. He
practically sells to his soldiers az his
own price everything that they have
while they are III the service of Spain.
The pay of a common soldier is about
three dollars IN gold per month.
Against this is charged whatever he
wishes to buy. For example, suppose
soldier needs a new pair of shoes, he
makes his wants known to his colonel,
who bands him pair ans takes three
or four dollars out of his -ages. The
shoes may not have cos; sae colonel
more than $3.50, which he paid for ont
of the regimental funds. Out of one
of his own men, who has left home ard
family and everything for his country,
he has made 100 per cent. by turning
over government capital.
When the time for final settlement
comes the soldier is quietly told tha,
there is nothing to his credit on tho
books of the regiment; that his great
and good government has taken care
of him for three years, and has allowed
him the privilege of fighting for it.
and that if he doesn't have a proper
sense of gratitude he is base traitor,
who isn't worthy to be called Span
iard, an argument which has hereto
fore worked very well. But this is not
all the trouble. Each regiment is
charged with a considerable sum of
money for hospital services, and the
colonel deducts proportionate per
centage from each soldiers pay for
that purpose. Another percentage is
deducted for what in Spanish book
keeping is called Chi
cago Inter Ocean.

This is n delicious and inexpensive
dessert. Simmer until tender SIX firm,

they are cooking boil down the peelings

half dozen other apples cut in bits
without removing the pee,ing and cores.
Strain the juice of the apples after they
are boiled tender, pressing it through

A RICH PRIZE.
ThrowinE Dice for 500. .Oo0--In one
Year New York Man Has
Won $4,000.

A man in New York, who has evident
ly studied well the science of proba-
b,lities, has invented a mos. fascin-
atfng game of chance whereby he IS
largely profiting. He deposited in the
Chemical national bank $500 and made
check against it which was duly GER
titled. This check he offered tothe man
who would throw five skies with dice
''cne flop" out of the box, hay.ng paid
50 cents for the privilege of throwing.
That the dice might not be handled
or juggled, they were placed inside
thick bell glass resting on base, the
top of which was over a heavy spring
operated by lever. The dice and ma
chine were examined by committee of
reputable men and the whole securely
sealed. When a man wanted to throw
against the check he paid so cents.
pulled down the lever, released it, and
the dice sprang into the air against the
top of the glass and fell back again.
The game has been in operation almost
year, and no one has won the check.
Il that time 100000 throws have been
n,ade. AS the fund has grown the check
has been increased, until now ii calls
for 100000, and the man who operates
the check has pocketed $4,000. There
is no restriction against his withdraw
iLg his check and closing the game any
time he desires, but it is so profitable
that he viii hardly do so. The sum Of
money to be won is so large that the
dice machine is kept busy all the time.
II is located in barroom in lower
Broadway, near Wall street, and is pat
ron;zed by brokers and their cit rks.
A travelling man from New York.
speaking of it, said:
1T is a very fascinating pursuit. try
ing to shake five skies for 100000. I
have spent almost $16O in the game my
self, and some of those Wall street men
have spent thousands of dollars against
1t. One afternoon | was in there and a
young fellow from the clearing house
monopolized the machine until the
place was closed up at night AS fast
as he could pull down the lever and the
dice fail he pulled it again, and the man
in charge kept books on him. don't
know how many times he threw, but
i must have been thousands, and was
told that he hadn't thrown five of any
number in all that time"
The game is honest. It's the per
cen;age that beats the player. Tie
mathematical probability of i've skies
being thrown at once is as one m ? 7ee
but in this case 100000 throws have
been made withou. winning Chica-
go Inter Ocean.
