PIPES OF PEACE.
Those Blade of Blood Red stone Most
 Esteemed by Indians.

Nearly every Indian tribe has some interesting legend connected with the biood-red stone of the Pfpestone quar- ries of Minnesota. One tale is that long ago two fierce bands of Winnebagoes and Sioux, the bravest of their respee- tive tribes, met iii conflict here. They fought all day, from early morn until set of sun, until the chieftain of one band was slain. Some of the warriors escaped, and some were made oaptives. Among the captiyes was the chieftain's s daughter Being very brave and fair
 she was chosen by one chief as his share of the spoils. Refusing, how ever, to become his bride, she was doomed to the stake. In dying she predicted that the Great Spirit would throw her blood upon the suns rays to her people far away. and that the stone under her feet would be- forever tinted with her blood. Catlin. the famed ex- plorer Of Indian country, was the first white man to visit this locality. At- tracted by the Indian tales he had heard in the summer of 1886, in com pany With young English gentleman and his trusty Indian guide, he started on horseback from St. Anthony's Falls to explore the region. It appears that the Indian tribes have long held the place in superstitious estimation, and also that it has been the resort of diff ferent tribes, who have made their regular pilgrimage there to renew their pipes. It is also evident that these people set an extraordinary value on the red stone, independent of the fact that 1t is more easily carved and makes better pipes than any other stone. Whenever an Indian presents a pipe of 1t, he gives it as something from the Great Spirit, and some of the tribes have tradi ion that the red men were all created from the red stone and that 1t is thereby a part of their flesh. Such was the superstition of the Sioux on this subject that we had great diff feulty in approaching it, being stopped by several hundred of them, who or dered Us back and threatened us very hard, saying that no white man had ever seen it and that none should.

A Terrible Struggle with Wolf.

An inhabitant Of La Chabroulie, 8 small village in Dordogne, France, had terrible struggle with a ls.--, wolf one or two nights ago. The man was awakened by bowling round his house and understood that a wolf had come, as they frequently do when driven by hunger. to deyour the watchdog He took his gun and went out, when the wolf immediately came bounding to- wards him. M Mareher fired both bar rels of his gun into his assailant, which, nevertheless, still sprang at him. Finally he got the barrel of his gun into the brute's mouth, and, press ing it to the ground, finished it by kicks. The struggle lasted over ten minutes, and had another wolf been present. matters would have gone hard with M Marcher.

Moody,s vote of Thank..


Possibly the most novel response ever
made to a request to return a vote Of
thanks to chairman was that made
by Mr.. Moody during his first visit to
England.
He had attended meeting at which
the Earl Of Shaftesbury was chairman
The duty of proposing vote of thanks
was assigned to him and the announce.
ment made:
Our American cousin, the Rev. Mr..
Moody of Chicago, will now move
vote of thanks to the noble earl who
has presided on this occasion"
The whole thing was quite out Of Mr..
Moody's line. English formalities might
or might not have come gracefully
from his lips had he attempted them,
but he did not. With an utter disre-
gard of conventionality he burst upon
the audience with the bold announce
ment:
"The speaker has made two mis-
takes. To begin with, I'm not the Rev.
Mr.. Moody at all. Pm plain Dwight L.
Moody, Sunday school worker. And
then Pm not your American cousin.
By the grace of God Pm your brother.
interested with you in our Fathers
work for his children.
And now about this vote Of thanks
TO the noble earl for being our chair
man this evening" l don't see why
we should thank him any more than
he should thank us. When at one time
they offered to thank our Mr.. Lincoln
for presiding over meeting in Illinois,
he stopped it. He said he'd tried to do
his duty, and they'd tried to do theirs.
He thought it was about an even
thing all round"
That opening fairly took the breath
away from Mr.. Moody's hearers. Such
a talk could not be gagged by any
known standard. Mr.. Moody carried
his English audiences with him from
that beginning to his latest labors.

ments the patient is first told to 'shun

tain forms. The great increase in the
number Of hygienic foods that have
been put upon the market and the al
most invariable success of any of these
manufactures which prove an accepta-
starchy foods are other indications in
the change of the public feeling toward
bread as simple food which could be
taken under all circumstances.
Some years ago a man wrote book
devoted. chiefly to exposing to the
world the harmful qualities of bread.
Persons at that time thought he was a
crank, and little attention was paid to
his very sound utterances on the sub
ject But his opinions are now re-ech-
.oed by most physicians, and the great
army of abstainers from bread gathers
recruits every day. The revolt against
such well established institution is
naturally little bit slow. But bread
Is destined to be ultimately Stunned
even more than it is today, and this de-
struction of tradition that has lasted
centuries Is already well under way.

Democratic Plurality IL Estimated at
From 10000 to 10000.

Democratic Plurality 10 Estimated at
From 10000 to 10000.
st. Louis, Nov. There seems to be
no doubt that Missouri has gone
Democratic by plurality estimated at
from 10000 to 10000. The national
Democratic ticket received a heavy
vote all over the state. Congressman
Alexander M. Dockery, the Demo
cratic nominee for governor, will have
majority that is but slightly smaller
than that of Bryan and Stevenson. Re
turns from $50 out of the 1888 precincts
Of st. Louis, received up to o'clock
this morning show Democratic gains
but these returns with but few excep-
tons come from Democratic strong
holds. The Worlds fair constitu-
tional amendments have carried by an
overwhelming majority, thus insuring
the success of that project.
st. Louis, Nov. 7.-Chairman Sell
bert of the Democratic state central
committee stated that enough doubt
full counties had been heard from to
indicate the election of Bryan electors
and Dockery, the latter for governor,
by good pluralities; that the Demo-
Gratis would control the legislature and
elect 10 and possibly II out of Is con-
gressmen in the state.
Sixty-three precincts out of 1913 in
st. Louis give Bryan 11,759, Mckinley
$685., Dockery DENY, for governor,
11,529, Flory Rep.l, for governor, S.
