INDIANS AS CUSTOMERS.
More Particular About Their Clothing
Than Their Food.


Mrs. ]. I. White is from Porter. I.
T., where her husband runs a store.
Porter is a brand new town, and is
now In the boom state. There are q
great many Indians about Porter,
and they are the stores best custo-
mers.
When Mr.. White went to the Terri
tory, he supposed the Indians would
demand as low priced goods as 1t is
possible to sell. but found out that
the redskins were not just as he
sized them up. The Indians want
the sportiest things on the market.
They turn up their noses at cheap
clothes, and want loud colors and
costly garbs. When Christmas came
1t was natural to suppose that the
Indians would also want costly sweets
as well as costly clothes. and Mr..
White was surprised to find that the
Indians passed up the high priced
candies and bought the cheapest kind
possible. The most they could get
for the money was the kind they
wanted. The Indians argued that they
ate the candy and no one saw IL. but
with the clothing 1t was different. as
every one saw the clothes they wore.
The red man is much more particu-
lar what he puts on his back than

he steals to her house and wakens

was difficult for her to choose, and
while the delay was on. the men be-

She eventually selected Rome and
Shortly afterward Savory was found
dead, shot through the heart.
Rome was arrested, tried, and, though
there was no direct evidence against
him, was sentenced to twenty-o one years
in the penitentiary. An appeal was
taken to the higher court, but before
the decision was reached his sweet

Their hopes for reversal met with

his newly made wife proved stronger
than any barriers, and selling her per-
sonal possessions, she followed with the

the demand of the law had been ex-

Her money soon ran out, and it then

election of each succeeding governor

A Maine Bear Story

Here is a bear story from South
Paris: The other night Ira Murch, of
that village, went to pasture near the
Stony Brook road after his COW. When
well up into the pasture he stopped
down to pick some strawberries and a
little distance away heard combined
grunting and squealing sound. Look
ing up he beheld a large female bear
with her family of three little cubs
about two rods ahead of him. The
mother bear was lying down, but got
UP slowly onto her forward feet and
took a careful survey of Mr.. Murch.
He then tossed small stick toward
her, when she got onto her feet and
walked away, closely followed by her
three babies. Mr.. Murch says she was
quite thin, but thinks she would weigh
about 300 pounds. The cubs were, from
his description, some eight or ten
weeks old, and very cunning. Several
boys armed with guns started Satur
day in pursuit. So far as we know
the boys got back alive.-Kennebec
