THE Willy RED MAN.


Numerous Instances of the red mans
quiekness of wit are related by those
who have had dealings with him. A
Canadian chief was looking idly on
while some Englishmen were hard at
work improving property newly acduir-
ed from the dusky tribe.
..Why don't you work." asked the su-
pervisor OF the chief
why you no work yourself:" was
the rejoinder.
Il work headwork," replied the white
man, touching his forehead. But come
here and kill this calf for me, aud I'll
give you quarter"
The Indian stood still for Il moment,
apparently deep in thought. and then
he went of TO kill the calf.
Why don't you finish your job ?"
presently asked the supervisor, seeing
the man stand with folded arms over
the unskinned undressed carcass.
You say you give me quarter TO
kill calf" was the reply Calf dead.
Me want quarter
The White man smiled and handed
the Indian an extra coin to go ON with
the work.
How is it," asked the Englishman

dealings, that you SO often get the

A white trader once succeeded in

to SOW his powder and in his hope OF
making money from his fellows was
careful not TO mention his enterprise

he had been duped he held his tongue

had completely forgotten the occur

A Lesson In the Use of simple Term.

of the longest, most unusual words.
This habit led TO some rather eNpen-
sive blunders. and. the matter coming
before the general manager. he wrote
the young official the following letter:
In promulgating your esoteric cogi-
tations and iii articulating your super

Let your conversational communication
possess clarified conciseness. Il COIN

meditated cXpatiation have intelligibil-
ity and veracIous yivncity. without rho

pay Gibbs 50, IT negro came down
the street before one went up Gibbs
would pay the 81.
Gilmore WAS uckier than Gibbs.
More negroes went his way than went
Gibbs, and the result WAS that in II
month or TWO Gilmore had lot of
Gibbs money
One day the negro cook i'll the Gibbs
household came to Gibbs in great dis
tress. One of her children had died.
Mr.. Gibbs was sympathetic. He gave
the cook $50 TO help along with the fu-
licINi tAptllStS.
Then he asked, when will you have
the funeral. Mary
Mary thought the funeral would be
held on Sunday. Gibbs made some
cautious inquiries and discovered that
the cook lived on one of the cross
streets near the Brunswick.
Now, Mary" he said. II would like
10 see that funeral. Suppose YOU have
it come across Twenty fourth street
and up Fifth avenue. shall he ut the

until the funeral was well started.
Then he strolled into the Brunswick
hotel and said to Gilmore. "Ill take up

"All right" said Gilmore
Fifteen minutes later the funeral
came up the street, and az 50 was the
bet for each individual Gibbs collected
