without shuming or Evasion,

From FenimOre Cooper and other au-
thOrities we have gained the impression
that the Indian is stolid, severe indi-
vidual, with no sense of the white
man humor, but one red brother show
ed himself quite civilized joker in the
United States court He was on the
stand in hOtly contested case, and At
torney ID. r. Bailey of Sioux Falls was
after him in the most approved fashion
of cross examination. Finally, after ap-
parently frightening the Indian with
the awful consequences which would
follow the slightest deviation from the
truth, Mr.. Bailey took his most porten-
tous tone and solemn manner and de-
Iuanded:
''Now, sir, l want you to tell me the
exact truth, without any shuffiing or
evasion l want you to look me square
in the eye and tell me how you get your
living, sir. -
The Indian looked straight at Mr..
Bailey, and, with that imperturbable air
familiar to all acquainted with the red
men, simply said, "Eat.
The courtroom roared, even Judge
Garland smiled and Mr.. Bailey let the
witness go.-St. Paul Pioneer Press.

A Fortune In II Kiss.

It was kiss which made the fame
and fortune of one of the leading artists
in France today.
When he was a young student In the
QUARTER Latin, Paris, he came TO the
end of the slight resources left by his
parents and was almost on the verge of
starving.
In moment of hilarity he stole IA
kiss from a pretty pair cf lips he met
in the street and was quickly called to
account by the offended girl.
When he made his appearance in
court, the presiding judge asked if he

delighted to be in a position to assist

One of Millions.

Once upon IA time there lived a man
who wanted only IA few things that
every body wants. He wanted plenty to
eat and drink, leisure and the woman
he loved. But he found that to have
time to himself to make il possible to
live pleasantly with his sweetheart and
give her all he wanted and to take care
of the children that they might have
to do all this he must have a great deal
of money. So he went to work and
built up great business, very COM
plicated machinery. To this money
producing machinery he was forced to
give most of his energy. 1t gave him
no time for leisure. no energy for en-
joying the sunshine his wife and chill
dren. But he began to enjoy the ma
chinery of his business.
When he had made large fortune,
the only thing he enjoyed was the ma
chinery by which he could make more
money He had lost his interest in the
things for which he began his business
Perhaps he still had interest in food
his wife and all the naive physical anG
sentimental pleasures. but it was &
blunted. dull interest. The only liv,
interest he had was his business. New
