Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post:
Judge e. B. MartIndale. of Indlanapo-
lis, owns one of the handsomest resi-
dences in that clty-a large stone man.
sion, hidden from the street by a thick
grove OF trees. It was In this house
that one Of the most exciting functions
ever known in the HoOsler capital took
place many years ago. the true story Of
which Is now printed for the first time.
The Judge, who was one OF the leaders
Of society, and at the same time WAS
a pillar In the Presbyterian church, had
issued Invitations for a fancy dress
ball, which at the last moment he had
to withdraw because Of the presence
in this country of a large body OF
Presbyterian delegates from Great Brit
ain, on their way to an international
conference in the west.
They were to be entertained at the
Judges on the night set for the ball.
II so happened that every guest re-
ceived his notice save one, a merchant
named Woodward, who was on trip
through the northwest. 1t also hap
pened that Mr.. Woodward had hit up
on the most startling disguise Of any
planned. He had bought complete
costume OF n Sioux war chief, and In
original as possible.
Mr.. Woodward did not return to In
dIanapolIs until the evening fixed for
the ball, and. therefore, to save time.
put on his costume at his office and
drove to the Martlndnle residence In his
carriage, which he dismissed at the
gate. Through tho trees and shrubhery
he glided stealthlly until he reached
he house. Looking through the window,
Mr.. Woodward saw some persons
whom he knew and many whom he did
not. but every one was In ordinary eve
ming dress.
They've unmaSked," solIloquized the
war chief, but I'll have my fun Just
the same" Thereupon stepping on n
ledge, he made one spring through
the open window. and landed In the
center Of group Of Scotch delegates,
meantime brundlshinE n genuine toma-
hawk and uttering Bhrill and blood
curdlIng war cries.
The effect was astounding to the
masquerader. Some OF the guests
tainted, others crept under the tables
and sofas, or fed to the upper stories
Of the house. II took only an instant
for Mr.. Woodward to discover that n,
terrible mistake had been made In
order 10 preserve his identity and make
his escnpe he gave n few more whoopsg
executed n fearful dance and dRrted
out OF the window into the darkness,
II was explained to the foreign
guests that one or the indianapolis In
dian tribes was evidently restless, but
that no further trouble need be feared.
AZ for Mr.. Woodward. his side Of the
story was not known for nearly twenty
yeara Rfterward

The HoraeIe.l Yahinln,. q.

A travelling man writes from Column

that inside OF twenty years the horse
power carriage win be the exception,
and that when we speak Of cart, cab,
bus, truck, carriage, &C.. we shall mean
horseless vehicle. II. for any reason,
we shall then wish to refer to a car
riage. &C., drawn by a horse. we will
say horse carriage. or horse cab &c. .
Perhaps that IL true; but judging at the
present rate Of increase in the popular
ity of the horseless vehicle, twenty
years is long limit to ok as the time
in which this new era viii be q COM
summation.
The bicycle has made a great deal
more rapid progress. Fifteen years ago
women were ridiculed for riding them.
The street car was endorsed in a very
brief time. The tendency in the United
States Is to quickly adopt anything in
the march Of improved and economical
methods, and It only remains for the
Increasing demand sufficient to cheaper
the automobile. for everybody to
catch on" The economy of the horse

for, after the first cost, there is little
expense except for repairs.
The merchant will save by not having
horses to feed and care for, making
small expense for his delivery wagon,

carriage or buggy. Stables VIII be
practically done away with. The hack
man will Increase his profits, and at the
same time be able to give cheaper fares.
All these things win be considered, and
will mid and abet the speedy introduce

AS to the horse. He will be a rare
animal for anything save heavy haul

lovers of horses who will prefer them
to anything else. Twenty years is a
long period. The change of the old for
the new will come sooner than that.

Woman is the tool of Satan; man is
the tool of woman.
A woman's different ways of loving
are limited only by her moods; her
moods are limited by nothing.
A woman never gains anything with a
man. good or bad, by pretending to be
wanton, when she isn't.
A woman's greatest weakness is that
she thinks she can make man believe
anything when.he is only pretending to
believe.
Mans tremendous conceit is proved
by the fact that when woman tells
him that he is the first man whom she
ever let kiss her he believes her,-NeW
