UPSETTING HIS DIGNITY.
The DeplOrable Outcome of n Prac-
teal Joke Played on a Heap
Big Indian.

II was connected with the Sioux
Indian reservation for three or four
years." said a story-teller the other
day, relates the Detroit Free Press
land of curse | had every chance to
study Lo as he is. Some of the
young bucks were ready to laugh at
a good thing, but the old chiefs
stuck out for dignity in u way tc
make you look solemn.
Zone of the big chiefs was named
Buffalo Hunter, and in his day he
had lifted plenty of white scalps. II
others could forget what he had
been, he couldn't. He'd sit around
the post traders store for fou1
hours at a time without even fetch.
ing a grunt, and if anybody rubbed
elbows with him he tried to freeze
his very soul with a glare.
"After q time | made up my mind
to give the old fellows dignity a
test. He always arrived at a certain
hour, attended by a small retinue
and one day, when | caught sight OF
him coming over the ridge a mile
away, | dropped II silver quarter into
the coal stove. 1t was good and hot
and lying on the floor near the doc,
when Buffalo pulled up his pony ano
dismounted. He got down with the
dignity of an emperor, and without
a look around him he entered the
store. That quarter caught his eagle
eye in a jiffy, and he didn't consider
it beneath his dignity to stoop and
pick it up.
"Well, the way he let go of thai
redhot coin again." laughed the
joker, was worth going a mile tc
see. He jumped clear off the floor
at the same time, and the yells he
uttered come to me in my SLEEP
sometimes and raise me out of bed
There were half a dozen of us in the
plot and ready to guffaw, and when
old Buffalo realized the situation he
knew that his dignity was lost for.
ever. He glared around for a min.
ute with murder in his eyes, and
then he hustled out doors, leaped
upon his pony and made a Decline
for a saloon at the edge of the
reservation. l don't know how
much whisky he soaked up, but two
hours later he returned to the store
with a frst-class jag on. A buck on
each side was holding him OH his
pony, and he was singing and weep,
ing by turns. We all went out to
greet him and inquire about his
health, and after trying to wink at
each individual in turn he pathetical-
ly exclaimed:
"'Some man make some money
hot and take my character away,
and now | go on a spree every day
in the week.
"He vas a good as his word. He
was drunk nearly all the time for
the next six months. and in his mel.
lowness he would ever play at tag
and leap-frog with the boys. Then
he tumbled off his pony one night
and broke his neck, and sometimes,
when the rain comes down and the
wind moans around the gables, I feel
that his guardian angel will hold me
responsible for his taking off,"

FENCES IN SPRING.

There are rods of fence on almost

into such soil with any assurance of
permanency and a fence one thrown
out of the ground is very hard to get
