Icrend of standing Rock.

The Indian legend of the stone from
which Standing Rock gets its name Is
as follows:
Years ago buck and his squaw were
on Il journey down the Missouri river
TO visit some relatives at distant
point. Where Fort Yates now Is the
buck saw a young squaw of surprising
beauty. with whom he fell desperately
in love. In spite Of the tears ana Ell.
treaties Of his lawful wife he refused
to proceed on the journey or In any
other direction, but resolved to stay
right there. The deserted squaw ex-
hausted her entrcaties and her tears
and finally arose to leave the place
alone. AS she did so she stepped back
in the spot where she had been sitting
md turned to stone. There she has re-
NAMED ever since. Il standing reproach
TO her faithless lord and master ana to
all his kind BY Il faint stretch or the
imagination the standing rock from
which the agency gets its name can he
made to take the outlines of woman.

that is approximate knowledge of the

1T Is n Dark as Well as Dangerous

Steeple climbing is in truth dark

But steeplc is not the most diihcult
height to climb. Straight, tall chin

The mans safety depends upon the

A century ago there were 10000 "laz'
zaroni" in Naples. Neither disease
nor want has diminished their number.
Their children die at fearful rate,
but there are many hospitals for the
survivors, and neither board nor lodg-
ing costs them much when, at ma
ture age, they are turned loose into
the world to become lazzaroni in their
turn, like their unknown fathers and
mothers.
"What is a lazzaroneY it may be
asked. According to Colletta, he Is
being who lives how he can without
working. If he puts his hand to hon
est labor, he Is no longer a lazzarone
1t may be doubted whether the laz-
zarone will ever become extinct. Inc
"resanitation" scheme will not GUST
him nor make him change his habits
He is more than half what his climate
