How the Indians Dun.

We have all heard the phrase, "Af-
ter him with sharp stick, " but it
may not have occurred to many Of as
that the stick referred to is the much
feared yearly January bill. Such
however, is the meaning that the say
ing conveys to the Nushinan Indians
of California, who have seen the dis
agreeable habit prevalent among US
of sending gifts. When one Indian
owes another, it is considered bad
taste for the creditor to dun the debt
or. He proceeds with more delicacy.
He procures certain number of
sticks, according 10 the amount of the
debt, and paints a ring around the
end of each. These he carries and
tosses into the debtors wigwam and
then goes away without word. The
debtor invariably pays the debt and
destroys the sticks, as it is considered
a reproach to have the January dun
ming stick thrown into the wigwam.
Indeed the creditor never uses them
except with hard customers.

Single Plant Worth $4,000.

The flower pot was Ikea toy. The
moss in it would not have made a
teaspoonful Out of the moss two
tiny leaves, each les, than half-inch
long, peeped. They were variegated
leaves; their right halves were green
and their left halves white. Pot,
earth, leaves and all, this plant would
have slipped easily into man s waist
coat pocket.
And yet $4,000 had been offered
for it. 1t did not weigh an ounce.
There was nothing to it but two tiny
leaves upon stem less than an inch
long. Yet it was worth $4,000.
1t was an orchid in the collection Of
Mrs George B. Wilson Of Philadelphia
Mrs. Wilson's orchids are said to be
the finest in America-some say the
finest in the world. The little plant
was a cross between Cattleya aurea
and a Cattleya labiata. 1t was two
years old, and it would be five years
more before it would begin to bloom.
But it was the only orchid in the
world with leaves half green. and half
white, and therefore Sanders, the En-
glish collector, seeing it in November,
said:
81 will give you $4,000 for ii"
But Mrs. Wilson S gardener replied:
eve buy all we can, but we never
sell"
Mrs. Wilson lives at Forty third
and Walnut streets, Philadelphia, says
the New York Tribune. Ten years
ago she bought the orchids of Erastus
Corning of New York-40OOO plants,
which Mr.. Corning had been forty
years in gathering. She engaged for
her gardener, Alphonse Pericat, who
had been head gardener at the orchid
farm of Baron Alphonse de Roths-
child of Paris, and she sent off, with a
rowing commission, Henri Barrault,
skilled orchid hunter.
For the last ten years, thanks to
the daring and the industry of Bar
rault, and thanks to the patient art of
Pericat, her collection has been grow
ing greatly. 1t is practically a COL
lection that represents fifty years of
work. 1t numbers 20 00Op plants, over
1000 of which are unique, with du-
plicates nowhere in the world, and it
is worth (as Erastus Corning spent
100000 on it, as Mrs Wilson has
spent $3.50 900 on it, and as Pericat
has propagated from it over 1000
bybrids) close upon $l,000,0OO It's
said to be the best collection in Amer
lea, and Sanders says it is in many
respects the best collection in the
world

sI.oo A YEAR.
Pulled a Lions Tooth.

An interesting operation took place
at Bostock's Great Animal Arena,
Broad and Cherry streets, Philadel.
phia. Wallace, the large Nubiau
lion, which has defed trainer after
trainer to tame him, has been ailing
tor some time. He is naturally very
fierce, and has killed seven men dur
ing his life, not counting the number
that have been manned.
This 6erceness has been accentuated
during the last week and no one about
the show could tell what was wrong.
He seemed to eat all night, but became
poor in flesh. During the feeding
hour on Saturday the head trainer
noticed that he grabbed large bone
that was thrown to him and then sud-
denly dropped it. He tried several
times to gnaw the bone, but always
gave up the job, although he seemed
to have no trouble in devouring meat.
As soon as the trainer noticed his
action he knew at once that Wallace
had an aching tooth, but the fierce.
ness Of the animal prevented an iu-
vestigation, and the only remedy was
to draw it. This was much larger
undertaking than many cared 10 en-.
gage in, but it had to be done, and
that quickly.
Geo W. Robbery, Appointment vet
erlnarian, was consulted. aud he con.
sented TO draw the aching molar if he
would be allowed to place the animal
under an anesthetic. The manage.
ment agreed to the proposition, aud
oU Monday the delicate operation was
performed.
The lion was at first caught with
ropes and drawn TO the front of the
cage, when the veterinarian attempted
to etherize him. He resisted. AMI II
took nearly an hour and quantities Of
the narcotic before he yielded to It's
quieting influences When Wallace
at last slept quietly Dr. Robbery en-
tered his cage and extracted the tooth
and found large cavity thatrun down
into the root.
He used an extra long pair Of for
ceps to pull the tooth. but 1t refused
TO bulge. After several attempts, he
finally wired the instrument on the
tooth 80 that it would not come loose
and then fastened rope to the end OF
the plyers. He then passed the rope
over the top of the cage, after making
Wallace head fact to the cage. Sew.
eral keepers gave strong pull on this
rope and with a jerk the diseased tooth
came out and with it lot Of pus. The
pain, however. caused the lion to re-
cover from the anestbetic and with a
roar he drove the veterinarian from
the cage He is now eating in his
old-tme form.

Nobody listens to childish woes
Which kisses only smother;
Nobody's panied by naughty blows,

Nobody knows of the sleepless care
Bestowed on baby brother:

Lest darlings may not weather

secret eoIlusion. and in special and act i've co-operation with these syndicates of vice. From evidence which I have in my desk, written and signed by an eyewitness of the transaction. know that not in New York only. but in the
 state of Connecticut, they are carrying on this work against our laws, and in
 the wicked abetting of crime. They
 have been running secret wires down
 through the chimneys into these pool rooms of fraud. I could give them the
 evidence if they wanted it, of one in- stance where they not only ran wire
 down through the chimney, but they
 let it out through a hole in the wall
 covered by picture. I do not knoW what it was picture of. whether of
 rural scene or some innocent portrait,
 but that wire was run down through a
 hole in the wall large enough for the tickers beneath, and connected with a
 flexible wire which could be drawn out hastily and concealed in that hole in the wall and where they were found still ticking. This company was caught ,red-handed, with the goods on them, when that place was raided. Never before. among the corporations of this country has a more clear cut issue been made between God and Mammon.
 The high character of the gentlemen who sit on that board of directors jus tifies the assumption that their choice, now that the facts are publicly at tested, will not be against God, and in
 favor of continuing to receive the wages
 of sin from this Mammon of unright- eousness. That choice must be one or the other. It must be unequivoca1 and
 sincere, with an absolute surrender of
 the wages of iniquity. It can be noth- l ing else.

President Spoke I'm Downpour of
 Rain, but 10000 Listened.
 WASHINGTON, May 31.-President Roosevelt and party have returned to Washington from Gettysburg. During the trip President Roosevelt went to the forward Pullman car and spent about two hours in conversation with General Daniel E. Sickles and Gen. eral o. o. Howard, both civil war vet erans. The trio discussed the various situations of the Union and Confeder- ate armies not only on the Gettysburg field, but also on other notable battle fields of the war. The president lis tened with great interest to incidents related by his companions of events of the great civil war.
 As President Roosevelt rose to speak a downpour of rain began and con- tinued throughout the time he address- ed the great assemblage. He was corded an enthusiastic reception, not withstanding the rain, and the crowd of 10000 people in the cemetery re- mained to hear the address despite the thorough drenching it received.
 Referring in the beginning of his  speech to the aliuSion of Governor Pennypacker to the death of Senator Quay, the president said:
 Governor Pennypacker has alluded to the fact that Pennsylvania mourns its senior senator The regiment which Senator Quay was instrumental in raising took part in this battle of Get tysburg, the battle in which Governor Pennypacker shared. Senator Quay was not with it. He had gone with another regiment, and it is appropriate at this time to recall the fact that when the term of service of that regi- ment expired, just before Fredericks- burg, Senator Quay declined to accept the discharge and continued as vol unteer with the army that fought at Fredericksburg and won the medal of honor on that bloody day."
