the Pawnee agency for three or four
years. said a Detroit grocer the other
day, land of course I had good chance
to study the Indian. There was a chief
named Leaning Tree who never smiled OF
laughed. He had no curiosity. He had No
interest in anything belonging TO the white
man-not even whisky. He was the near
est thing to a stone man you could find,
and his imperturbability vexed me. made
up my mind one day to arouse him or
perish The chief used to come down TO
the store every morning and sit on an
empty barrel OH the porch. I put half q
pound of powder under that barrel and one
summers morning Leaning Tree took up
his usual roOst I waited about fifteen
minutes and then fired the fuse. Ten min
utes later there was an explosion that
sent the chief 20 feet high and ten rods
away, and Of course there was a rush
pened. The old chap must have felt his
hair curl and been greatly mystified. but
he got up without the slightest loss of dig
nifty, and when asked to explain he struck
his breast and replied:
- Heap Iightning-heap strike-heap go
up, but no heap hurt mel Let more thun-

His dignity was a good thing for me-
said the former trader. There was an iTs-

One of the measures now pending in
Congress is that which provides for
what is known as Post Check Cur
rency" which is intended to furnish a
practical aud convenient method of
sending small sums of money by mail.
A great deal has been written on the
subject and the proposed measure has
the universal Endorsement of the press
as well as as the business Interests of
the country. The Post Check Cur
rency' is in effect greenback in de-
nominations from 2 cents to five dol
lars which passes current like auy
other money until the holder writes
in space on the back the name of 8
person TO whom he wishes to send it
by mail. Then it becomes payable to
the payee only, and on his indorse-
is deposited in the bank and gets back
