a PRETTY INDIAN LEGEND.
Old Cottonwood Tree Tells a Little
White Boy of the Birth of
the Oxeyed Daisy.

On the western prairies, far from
others of its kind, stands an old cot
tonwood tree, where it has stood for
decades-found there first by theSioux,
but never molested Under it's branches
Ogallalas and Brules have met many
times to plan for the chase or streak
their faces with carmine.
Near the old tree little village has
sprung up, peopled, in part, with
bright-faced boys and girls, who guard
the. ancient landmark as carefully az
did the red men.
Up into the branches climbed one
day little dark haired boy. with eyes
large and round.
II wish you'd tell me story" said
the little boy to the old tree, for they
were fast friends.

A little over year ago Burton
went to one of the oldest and most
highly esteemed republican senator's
and told him he wanted a piece of ad.
vice. He said that a sanitarium in
Kansas had asked him to examine its
literature with view to determining
whether it was liable to be excluded
from the mails and to prepare litera-
ture which would safely escape the
critical eye of the postal detectives.
He said that he was going to receive
a generous fee for this work, but he
was in doubt about the legality of it
and feared it might be in violation of
Section 1882 of the Revised Statutes.
The older senator asked him to bring
the Revised Statutes and together
they studied carefully the section in
question. Finally the older senator
said that if Burton had correctly
stated the nature of his employment
by the sanitarium it did not come un.

the statute. At the same time he told
Burton that question of propriety
was involved and that so far as he
was personally concerned he would

When Gen. Ainsworth came to the

in state Of chaos. It took days and
sometimes weeks for the pension office,
which was dependent upon the depart

the claims to find out just what was

Still the struggle went on, until with

had to leave the country and take refuge
in France. He issued another nantes

was in league with the partisans of Count

COW AND PIG WERE cHUMs.
An Odd Animal Friendship Which
Led to All Sorts Of Trouble
and Mischief.

A lady who has large estate in
Brookline, Mass, tells an amusing story
of an odd friendship between two ami
mails that lived on the place. The COW
had been resident for over two years
when pig was added to the stable
Piggy was put for few weeks in quar-
tiers beside the cow. In May the COW was
staked out in the field to feed on grass
Contrary to her previous custom, she
seemed very uneasy, feeding little and
then uttering serious of mournful bel
lows, like COW deprived of her calf.
The pig in the stable, too, kept up
series of shrill squeals.
Disturbed by the noise, the lady sent
for the stableman, to ask what was the
trouble
Sure, a'am, 1 dunno, said he. "The
COW do seem most unhappy. An the pig,
too"
put the COW back in the stable" the
lady said. cannot endure such noise"
This was done, and quiet prevailed for
the rest of that day. The following
morning the COW was again turned out
The lamentations began again. Again
was the COW returned to the stable, and
silence reigned. The third day the
stableman quieted the tumult by putting
piggy out in the field, too. Both animals
fed in peace and quiet. And since the
pig did good to the orchard rather than
harm by his roofing, he was allowed the
freedom of the field with the COW.
If the pig got a few rods away from his
friend he would throw up his snout and
| squeal his loudest, and then scamper
back to her as fast as his legs would
carry him. When they slept the pig lay
beside the cow Their affection was mu-
tual.
The friendship continued in this wise
until spring, when the cow had calf.
She had then small interest in her
| friend, the pig, and he poor creature,
was consumed with jealousy. He rooted
the boards of his pen so persistently that
he broke it down and got in with the
COW. Then he rooted and bit the calf
viciously. The maternal wrath of the
COW was reused, and there was trouble
in the stable. The cow was hooking and
trampling, and the pig was roofing and
biting COW and calf Unfortunately
The stableman went to the rescue. He
drove the pig back into his own quarters
and repaired the pen. Piggy sulked fol-
two days, refusing to eat, and then hi
| apparently recovered his spirits and &C
copied the new conditions. At times
during the summer, however, he turned
jealous and rooted viciously at the divid-
ing boards and squealed forth his hurt
feelings.
Whether the COW and pig would have
resumed their former friendly relations
cannot be told, for the luckless porker
being now in good condition, went the
way of his kind.-Youth' Companion
