ALesson In Perseverance.

One Of the drollest Of anecdotes pos
sessing what might be termed an
"animaI subject" was told recently
by Lord Ribbesdale at a meeting OF
Progressives in London. TO cheer
them who were lbout to enter the cleo
toral fight, he narrated this fable,
which it is no exaggeration to call un'
matched even in the pages Of the great
Aesop himself: Two frogs fell into a
bowl Of cream. One was an optimlst
and one a pessimlst. The pesslmist

general look Of his surroundings, let
himself sink, to rise no more. Not so,
however, the optmist frog. He re-

such situation before, but that he
should do his best to get out Of it. And
so he swan and swan, and though he
soon became convinced that he could
not possibly emerge from the bowl he

through which he padded was getting

this state Of things, but continued to

PROFESSIONAL EATERS.

An Outcome of the ProverbiaI Hospital
ity of the Devils Lake Sioux.
o. A. Wright, of Madison, wis, Su-
pervisor OF Indian Schools, brings an
interesting story to Washington con-
cerning the professional eaters of the
Sioux Indians on the DEVILS Lake
Reservation in North Dakota. The
professional eater among the Devils
Lake Indians according to Supervisor
Wright, pursues a recognized profess
sion which entities him to distinction
and eminence, measured largely by
his capacity. The more capacity the
more eminence and distinction.
The Sioux of Devils Lake are hos
pltable people. A guest must be fed,
and the table placed before him must
be bountlfully supplied. If not, 1t is a
gross violation of Indian etiquette,
which subjects offenders to harsh
criticism. The obligation on the part
Of the guest is equally binding. Very
often the latter is the unfortunate vic
tim Of too much kindness, If, how
ever, he should fail to dispose of all
the food placed before him his offence
would be as great as that Of the host
whose larder failed to respond to the
demands of the prevailing social usage
among these Indians.
The capacity Of some of these pro-
fessional eaters is phenomenal. They
are said to be carefully trained to
their calling, and the returns for their
services are certainly very remunera-
tive to the Indian mind One who is
about to make a call and who feels
that he will not be equal to the occa-
sion secures a professional eater. The
latter secures for his services the food
he devours and 81 in addition. Super
visor Wright met one Of these profes.
slonal gentlemen az Devils Lake who
had recently performed the remarka.
bic feat of eating seventeen pounds Of
fresh beef. Some doubt is expressed
here as to the possibility Of a man eat.
ing so much meat at one setting Mr.
Wright told the officials, however, that
the story is vouched for by Agent Get
chell and Father Jerome, the latter
Catholic missionary at Devils Lake.
The Supervisor added that the Indian
was extremely modest amid the show
er Of congratulations bestowed upon
him by friends and admirers. - St.

Didn,t Menn to Be Funny.

There is a certain Hyde Park cler-
gyman whose usually tripping and ell
oquent tongue runs off the track occa-
sionally, so to speak, and betrays him
into amusing mistakes and blunders
in the course Of his pulpit oratory.
Such a mistake occurred one Sunday
evening not long ago, and the younger
and less serious members of his con.
gregation are laughing over 1t yet.
The preacher had occasion to refer
to the text "Set Thou my feet in a
large place" several times In the course
Of the evenings prayer and sermon,
and perhaps he had grown little
tired Of that particular phase, or
feared that his listeners had. So,
when In the course of the after-ser-
mon prayers, he desired to convey the
same idea again, he employed a diff
ferent set Of words to this purpose:
Thou knowest, o Lord" he prayed,
therefore, "how small and mean and
crowded are the places whereupon we
often stand on earth. Choose, Thou,
dear Lord, large place and establish
my feet thereon" - Chicago Times
Herald.

LEARNING HOW 70 WORK.
The Poor Of Pittsburg Are Being Taugh
Many Useful Lessons.


In such societies as the Domestic
Arts Association, Of Plttsburg, one dis
covers a movement in the direction to-
ward teaching woman how better to
conduct the kingdom which is indls-
putably hers.
The object OF the association is to
establish such a school where young
women may be thoroughly trained I'm
the home making arts. The originat.
ors Of the plan believe that, by estab-
fishing such a school, household
work may be raised, as nursing has
been in a similar manner, from the
rank Of mental labor to a profession
which capable and competent young
women will enter.
The associations work this year has
been divided into four departments
The department OF foods has opened
cooking clubs in the tenement districts
Of Pittsburg, teaching the housekeep-
ers OF that district how to buy and
cook fSod so as to obtain the best re-
suits possible from their small in
comes. This work has been most sue
cessful, the women having shown a
great interest in 1t, and an eager de-
sire to learn as much as possible.
The department OF clothing has de-
voted its efforts to teaching poor
women how to make their clothes and
keep them in order. and has met with
such success that the present equip
ment in the way of machines, etc, is
insufficient.
The junior department, devoted to
the interests Of the children, has done
a variety of things. There has been
classes in cooking and sewing, and
the difficulty has been, not in securing
pupils, but in providing a sufficient
number Of teachers. This department
has also established a penny savings
bank for the children. 1t has started
also circulating library, the books
having been lent by the Carnegie Ii
brarY.
The fourth and last department is
known as the department of service, or
employment bureau. Three Of these
were opened in different parts of
Pittsburg The head Of this depart
ment states in her report that she
thinks 1t impossible to do much If
anything, for employer or employed
until the time arrives when a training
school for domestic service can be
opened.
A member of the society said recent
ly; "In all these efforts to improve
the conditions of home life we find
that the greatest need of needy people
is the need Of knowing how to work"
New York Tribune.

IHE WITNESS DISAPPEARS

The cases. of Turk & Lewis, charged
with having caused one John Doe to
commit an assault and battery upon a
sailor named Buckley was postponed
in the police court this morning, ow-
ing to the fact that the principal wit
ness for the police had disappeared.
This case is a different one from that
of Erdall Buckley was set upon and
badly beaten some nights before Erdall
met with his adventure. 1t is claimed
that Buckley had agreed with Turk e.
Lewis that he would go on a certain
ship and had then refused to go. The
next night after his refusal he was
assaulted. The police have the man
who is supposed to have done the work
He is named as John Doe in the charge.
Buckley was seen last night, but this
morning he could not be found.
The shipping masters appeared in
court and pleaded not guilty, stating
that they were ready for trial Mar
shall Brown asked for a continuance
till tomorrow morning, as he had not
been able to find Buckley, the princi-
pal witness against the defendants. IT
don't know whether he has been spirit
ed away or not" said the Marshal, "but
the officers who are looking for him
have not yet found him. We hope to
have him here tomorrow morning"
Judge Wilcox granted the continuance.
No action has yet been taken in the
Erdall case, which will probably await
the outcome of the effort to prove that
the shipping men were the instigators
of the attack upon Buckley.
