In the mountains west of the big
gorge lived the tribe of Cappa Tom,
and the chieftain of the tribe, Singing
Water, was proud of his 500 braves,
who were tall and 1.-THE and strong
and mighty huntsmen; and he was
proud of the buxom squaws and the
lat papooses in the mountain camp.
No enemy in the region for a hundred
leagues about dared give battle to
Singing Water, for the fame of his
braves had spread even to the great
forest on the north and the marsh
lands on the south.
Once upon a time. so the legend
says, Singing Water found among the
children in the tepees poor little
papoose, a shrunken diminutive dwarf
child, Of whom the other Indian boys
made sport and forbade him their
amusement; so Little Injin" would
sit cross-legged apart from his fellows
and watch them at play.
Chief Singing Water sent for him
one day, and to the trembling, shrink
ing, little figure before him he grunted
words of disapproval, land with frown
on his face he spoke to Little In
jim"
"Ha! Little 1njin. You good not at
all. You very small! You crooked
like manzanilla tree; you sick like dy-
ing squaw; you ugly like shrinking fox;
you can no fight, you can no hunt. So
ugh! You go old squaw; you grind
acorns, you make fires, you cook, like
squaw. Little Injin. you no good"

Meat in yladivostok.

Butchers in Vladiyostok have re-
solved to raise the price of meat.
Their reasons are the usual stock ar
guments ON such occasions; but they
appear trife funny when it is re-
called that one Chinese merchant who
imported a thousand slaughtered cat
tie into Vladivostok some time ago
was not allowed to discharge his cargo
for three weeks. When landed the
meat had to be corned in order to save
1t, and the unfortunate purchaser was
compelled to buy barrels to preserve
his importation, and incur additional
expense. Vegetarians are amused at
the situation, but meat rises in price.
