INDIANS TRIED TABASCo.

Buffalo Bill, who Is going to put up a
big hotel in the west, says that one day
in New York he entertained two H.
dian chiefs at dinner in the Hoffman
House cafe.
There was a little bottle of tabasco
sauce on the table and the first chief
covered his oysters with 1t, as though
ii had been Catsup. Then he swallowed
an oyster, going through strange con
tortons in the act, though he was too
polite to make any cutlery. His air,
though, became sad and big tears
courscd down his checks.
why, brother, do you weep the
other chief asked, sympathetically.
Il am thinking" said the first, "of
my son. Gray Wolf, who was slain in
battle
All" murmured the second chief,
and he, too, covered his oyster plonti-
fully with the fiery sauce, then swal-
lowed one. He, too, in moment was
shedding tears.
His friend said gravely;
"Why do you weep, brother

letter, which he said had come by the

GIFTS FOR TIN WEDDINGS.
Many Queer Articles Are Fashioned
These Times for Such Occasions.

In these days one need not be at d
loss to find appropriate articles to
present to friends on the occasion OF
a tin wedding-the tenth anniversary
of the ceremony that reduced loving
couple to one individuality. Formerly
people had to confine their choice OF
gifts to tin articles OF practical
nature-tubs, pans, coffee pots, etc,
meant for actual use. But now a
gorgeous bouquet of tin flowers may
be had or fancy tin hamper for
candy, perhaps an elaborate tin belt
for the woman or garlanded TN
punch bowl or cigar jar for the man.
The tin bouquets are facsimiles OF
tie genuine flowers so far as shape
goes and are brightly FURNISHED tin.
Baby go carts in miniature, with cano-
ply. afghan and lace trimmings com
plete, are among the gifts; so are
handsome tin scrap baskets. imposing
looking vases, fern dishes and cabinet
ornaments. All are destined to be
kept by the wedding pair until the
novelty of possession wanes and then
to find their way to the junk dealers
Among the nonsense gifts are we'll
fitting mems collars with buttonholes
and bindings in place, tin boots. tall
stiff-crowned hats memoranda books
and wallets also tin walking sticks,
TN watches with chains and seals and
elaborate ornaments and tiaras for the
hair in imitation OF the jewelers. fur
nshngs.
The manufacturers of such goods
are frequently called upon to make to
order some article that hits on the
known habits or foibles of the couple
to be honored these orders are often
filled at short notice, directions for
quite elaborate articles completed in
time to be delivered that night.
A good business is now done in
these articles. Few people entitled to
celebrate their ten years of wedlock
| fail to take advantage of the occasion.
| And frequently those couples who pro
| fess to have little sentiment in such
matters are reminded OF their lapse
| from etiquette vy the curious and
! laughable tin iunketry which finds its
way to their doors on the festal day;
| gifts from those who were brides
maids and ushers at the original cere-
mony or from the new friends they

SIG'S DIAMOND.
He Gave It to Belle as an Engagement
Rinq.


Sig" Bauer had become rather I'M
popular in the shop-or, if not actually
unpopular he had at least lost much
of his former popularity. He had new
er been prodigal in his expenditures or
dissipated in his habits, but he had
been good fellow" He had never
shirked the can at the monday lunch
hour; he had always been good for a
small loan in the middle of the week,
and above all, her had never missed
one OF the hall dances or a picnic.
! For some some months, however, he
had become moody and distracted in
his manner. He had declined either to
rush the can himself or to partake of
the cans of his mates, eating his lunch
apart in remote corner of the shop
The hall, where with red carnation in
! his buttonhole, he had been wont to
oflciate as floor manager, knew him
no more. He would not even buy
ticket for the rattle for Scotty Green's
wheel, when it was known that Scotty
needed the money the worst way. Il
need it the worst way myself" he said
shortly.
| There was much speculation as to
the cause of the change in Sigmund,
but the generally accepted conclusion
was that he was crossed in love and
had a crouch"
There was no secret about the lady
in the case. She was Miss Belle Cas-
sidy, a black-haired, hign-colored and
coquettish young woman, who presid-
ed over the cashiers desk in Snyder's
grocery and meat market Sigmund
had met her a year before and since
then had been, as they said, rushing
her hard" Lately, however, Teddy
Billings of the furnishing department
in Elsenstein's had been seen a great
deal with her and Sigmund apparently
had dropped out of the race.
1t was quite a long while before it
was discovered that anything but dis
appointed love had embittered his ex.
istence. Sigmund had had a bosom
friend in Pete Stevens, but Pete had
been away on some special ConStruc-
tion work for nearly six months
When he returned and saw the change
that had taken place in his friend it
was only natural that he should ask
the reason for it, Sigmuni told him.
Yes, she turned me down" he said
Il blew myself hard, but she wasn't
satisfied and when | couldn't come to
the front she whistled up some of the
other boys"
Pete agreed that it was tough, but
he urged his friend again to brace up.
Sigmund said it wasn't any use. For
several months more he continued to
to pay off that ring, and she flying
around with Teddy Billings. If keep
on at the regular rate its going TO take
me close on to two years to square it
up. So the only thing | can do is to
save every red cent and get it off my
mind. Its tough"
