The squaw's suggestion.

Lieutenant Colonel Pratt, the United
States army officer in charge OF the
Carlisle Indian school, says that many
of its graduates who return to tribal
life lapse into slipshod speech. Un-
doubtedly this is true, yet the Kansas
City Journal tells Of one who, at q
pinch, could use ancient Bostonese ana
have fun doing 1t. This exception was
a souaw, who one day went into a
traders store at a western indian
agency, wrapped in a blanket and bear
ing other evidences of a return to
native ways.
How mucheey the squaw asked,

Fifty cents" said the merchant.
GLOW mucheeY she asked again,
pointing to another article. The price
was quoted and was followed by an
other query of How mucheeT Then
the souaw looked calmly at the mer-
chant and said:
do you not regard such prices as ex-
tortionate for articles Of such palpably
and unmistakably inferior quality DO
you not really believe that reduction
in your charges would materially en-
hance your pecuniary profits! Deg
Won TO consider my suggestion"
Then the graduate of Carlisle swept
gracefully from the store, leaving the
merchant staring after her.

Iondnn ChurchRoers.

Assuming that the people at church

half goes to church every Sunday In
London. The London News has ascer'
tanned this after a canvass OF SIX
months. It has discovered that the
Church Of England leads In total at
tendance, that the nonconformists are
second and the Roman Catholics third.
The nonconformists lead in the attend
ance of men with 10000 in church ev-

not seating accommodation in the
churches for a quarter Of the popula-

could readily hold every man, woman

ALesaon For the bishop.

Bishop Nicholson of Milwaukee has
story of personal experience to tell 70
those who seem swamped in worries,
according to the Milwaukee Journal.
1t happened during the first years OF
his ministry, when he was rector OF
Philadelphia church. The parish mat
ters, social and financial, were In Dao
way. and strengthening them out was
slow work. He was distinctly discour-
aged one day when, having gone to
New York on business, he stopped TO
look at the Brooklyn bridge, then
building. A man, covered with dirt,
was working on the abutments.
That's pretty dirty work you're en-
gagged in," said the bishop.
"Well, yes" answered the laborer'
"but somehow we don't think OF the
dirt. but of the beauty which Is 10
come out of our work"
"It was the lesson needed, anu
went back to Philadelphia the better
for it." said Bishop Nicholson.

EnnIiah Servants.

E,glish housewives who dismiss their
domestic servants are often subjected
to a curious form of annoyance at the
hands of the latter. Instead or pack
ing up her traps and departing in peace
from the house whose inhabitants sne
has scourged with her insolence and
disobedience, the indignant Sarah or
Mary now takes out a county court
summons against her late employer
either claiming wages to be due or
claiming wages in lieu Of notice. When
the case is called no plaintiff appears
and the case is struck out, but mean
while the poor housewife has been held
I'D to public scorn, has had the trouble
of attending court with her witnesses
and has probably incurred the expense
of q lawyer. The practice seems 10 DO
nothing more or less than new form
of attempted blackmail. Many an en-
ployer, through nervous horror OF the
publicity of trial, pays the servants
claim, although often an absolutely
baseless one.
