hier of New York Store
ITO Work Of a Counterfeit.
&e biggest commercial houses are
above doing small things-that is,
psome of them are not" said a Detroit
banker in the Detroit Free Press 7
was in New York the other day and
just before leaving stepped into one
of the most famous stores in that
wonderful city to buy a trinket for
the little girl at home. who always ex-
poets something on my return from a
visit to the metropolis.
My purchase was a light one. only
a dollar, for which l rendered S.
bill The change came to me in two
s. bills and my practlced eye told me
as soon as L saw them that one was
a counterfeit.
"Suspecting a trick, 1 stepped over
to another counter and made another
purchase, amounting to dollar, and
rendered the bogus bill in payment
Sure enough, it came back from the
cashiers Office refused, with the state
ment that it was counterfeit. l told
the clerk to send it back to the cashier
with the statement that 1t had been
received from his office not ten minutes
before but word soon came that such
a thing was impossible, preposterous,
the house did not do such things, etc.
Then l was mad. l asked if l
might see the cashier and after con-
e.iH Cd o6 sv,k1
presence of that august individual
Well. he made a great show of indig-
nation and said it was an insult to
their establishment to insinuate that
they would be so low as to try to palm
off a pitiful 50 counterfeit bill on
customer.
'But l was not to be bluffed. l
knew the business pretty we'll and
feeling confident that there had been
deliberate attempt to swindle me l
coolly told him that if he did not at
once give me a genuine bill in place
Of the bogus one l would immediate
" make complaint against his house
on the charge of passing counterfeit
money adding quietly that a friend
was with me to support my claim.
Did that bring him? Well, l should
think it did. He sputtered some, of
course. but could see that he realized
he had tried to impose on the wrong
person and after a feeble protest he
took the bad bill and gave me a good
one in exchange for It,
You wouldn't think that a house
Boosting that it is one of the biggest
concerns in the world would play so
little, woulo you? But it did, and got

flashing through the skull of a foe
= With life's energies nearly spent the
old chieftain must await the final
struggle with foe which knows not
a conqueror's power.
True to his name the famous chief
has been a red cloud of terror on the
western horizon. whose tornado-like
course has swept to destruction many
a person and devastated many a
hearth. Does he think of this now.
as the end draws nigh? With the
senility of age does his mind revert to
the stirring scenes of his earlier life?
Does a tottering memory now recall
his many triumphs on the CORY field
or by the smouldering embers of some
stricken home and give to his last
thoughts a sense of pleasure? Or
can it be that his departing soul, paus-
ing upon the brink of that dread
,chasm which separates the known
from the unknown before taking
flight, wavering between doubts and
fears. view with remorse any action
of the past wherein his hand was rails
ed in Cain-like attitude?
1t would be more in accordance
with the traditions and teachings Of
his race to believe that he will go
hence with a conscience free from
all self-accusation for wrOngdoing.
No doubt he justihes all his acts of
violence by the same process of rea-
soning that has served to pacify the
minds of thousands who in all ages
have ever deemed 1t Just and proper
to repell with armed force any whom
they honestly considered as usurping
invaders.

when on the war path. The massa-
ere ut Fort Phil Kearney was one of
the principal events In a war which
broke out between the Indians of the
northwest and the government in
1863. and lasted almost continuously
until 1868.
Red Cloud took an active part in
this struggle. and although not a
chief by hereditary law his prowess
soon gained him that honor One
may easily believe this If credence
is given to the statement of the old
chief himself, who boasts that in his
warrior days he counted coup" so

of valor against the enemy entitled
him TO some distinguishing badge of
honor. His most notable encounter
was ar engagement with the Crows,
in which he is said to have killed Ia

frmities of Age.
Once the recognized chief of MI
merous tribe, now stricken with the
infrmities OF his s. years, broken in
health and spirit, scarcely able to see
or hear, Red Cloud, the famous Ogal-
lalla Sioux Indian. is dying in a tepee
in the corner of the yard surrounding
the little wooden house which the gov
eminent built for him many years ago
on the Pine Ridge agency near the
Black Hills in South Dakota
His mind, once so powerful, has be-
come greatly enfeebled with the
weight of his years. His speech,
which once rang through the council
house of his people in imprisoned ut
terances. melting to action that horde
of dusky and bepainted braves whose
well planned attacks made many a
soldier or hardy borderer tremble for
the safety Of himself and the help
less ones entrusted to his charge, is
now but a hoarse, whisper scarcely
conveying TO an attentive ear the ma
lure OF MS SlnpIe wants. Ills SlBnt,
once so keen that with piercing gaze
he detected from afar those who were
hot upon his trail, spurred to their ut
most by the grim purpose to ayelge
some outrage is now so clouded by
the mists of time that lie recognizes
with difficulty those who attend at his
bedside. His sense of hearing, once
so quick to note the stealtIy approach
of his enemies when darkness Lid
their movements from his vision, IS
now dulled to all sounds except the
call of the Great Spirit.
Gone is his strength. Those sinews
of steel, which once so easily bore his
powerful frame over rough mountain
trails where even the hardy Indian
pony could not pass and which gave
TO him the victory when engaged in
deadly conflict with his foes, are
now shrunken with age. No more can
his once powerful arm deliver the
fatal knife-thrust or sever the much
coveted scalp lock from the head of
a quivering victim, no more can its
important force send the tOmahawk
