aHEAP SMELL
The Indian Knew what He Wanted
and Where to Get 1t.

Some Indians from Buffalo Bills
Wild West arrayed in bright colored
blankets and an exceptional amount
OF face paint, were taking in the sights
Of the city one afternoon. They stroll
ed down Walnut street, single file, and,
headed by a buck who now and then
gave a grunt of satisfaction when some
thing that pleased him caught his eye,
they halted in front of drug store and
gaZed at the window display for a
moment. Then the band filed into the
establishment and began to look
around.
The clerk thought the place was go
ing to be besieged and that he was like
ly to lose his scalp, but when the big
chief" who acted as spokesman, ad-
dressed him with the customary Indian
greeting of Howl" the clerk regained
his ,composure enough to ask the Indi-
|anfwhat he wanted.
fsHeap SMELL" was the reply.
Directed by the Indians finger to a
showcase, the clerk produced bar of
soap. The brave took it gingerly, re-
moved the wrapper, smelled it and bit
Into the toothsome looking article.
With a deep grunt of displeasure he
handed it back to the drug clerk. With
a disguised look he remarked, "Heap
smelll"
The clerk began to tremble, and the
Indian pointed to a perfume bottle in
the showcase. The bottle of perfume
was handed to him. The Indian held
it in both hands for a moment, closely
Iscrutinizing- it. He slowly removed
the stopper, closely watching it as if
he expected it to explode, and took a
long sniff at the bottle, gave a grunt of
satisfaction, handed the clerk some
money and led his band of braves out
of the store, to thedelight of the fright
ened clerk, who had. not been in the
practice of waiting on real Indians

The Two Senators.

Congressman Jones OF Virginia told
this story of his father: Directly after
the war Jones senior was sent to the
state senate. An old slave who had
belonged to him was also elected to the
senate. The two drew adjoining seats.
Senator Jones was very courteous and
in addressing his former slave always
called him senator. The old negro
stood it for some time and finally said
'Iassa William, 1 don't like dis sena
tor business. KANT l come down to
yo' house and visit that cook Of yourn
1 suhtinly would like permission to Wis
it yo' kitchen"
The request was granted. and while
Senator Jones was in his library the
other senator was down in the kitchen
visiting the cook.
