he.

Now there came upon the face of

royal highway of the cattle, but cross-

main-traveled roads, though more Of
ten straying aimlessly off over the
prairie to end at the homestead of
some farmer. These new houses were
dark and low and brown, with the ex-
ception that each few miles the travel
er might see a small frame house
painted white. Here and there over
the country were broken rows of little
yellow, faded trees struggling up out
of the hard earth. The untiring
wheels of windmills could be seen

In the town of Ellisville the great
heap of buffalo bones was gone from

LIVE STOCK JOKE.
How It Was Sprung Upon Prominent
Clergyman.


Rev. Richard E. Sykes is telling his
Denver friends a joke on himself,
which he relates with great glee AS
is known, he recently resigned his pas
torate in Denver to take charge of
congregation in suburb of Boston.
On Wednesday he was down at one
Of the freight depots shipping his goods
to his new home.
THE clerk did not know me-" is the
way DR.. Sykes tells the story, land
when he had listed my goods he leaned
over and asked
"'Say, mister, do you have any live
animals?'
Il was somewhat surprised at tho
question, but quickly and truthfully
answered that had not.
"'Well.' he went on, let me give
you tip. If you have donkey or a
burro or something like that you could
ride through for nothing in the car.
to take care of it.
II would like to go into Boston in
that manner, wouldn't ~" and he
laughed with great satisfaction.
The portion OF the story which Mr..
Sykes did not know is that the query
put to him is one Of the stock jokes at
the freight depots. II he had shown q
certain trepidation when the first query
was asked. it would have eventually
led to a suggestion that maybe his beds
contaiped live animals. AS he showed
certain signs of not being the right fell
low for that sort of joke he had the
other sprung on him as means OF tho
joker letting himself down easily

HOW INDIANS ARE NAMED.
Have Various cognomens at Various
Periods of Life.
(To be continued.)

Major Frank Terry, who is in
charge of the Indian school on the
Puyallup Reservation, is thus quoted
by the Tacoma Washington Ledger:
"Translations of Indian names, as a
rule, have been unsatisfactory, though
there are exceptions. The case is re-
ported from the Pawnee Reservation,
Oklahoma, of an Indian named Coo
Observation-Disclosures. The literal in
tie. pretat:on Of his name as given to
me is 'Fearing-a -bear-that-is-wild'
With this Interpretation the agent
named him Fearing B. Wilde. AS
the Indian grows he commits acts
from time to time, each Of which
gives him a new name. For example,
he may see bear and run screaming
to a tepee. The folks laugh at him
and call him 'Afraid-of-a-bear.' II he
braids in his hair a yellow feather
which he has plucked from the tail of
an eagle, he may be called 'Eagle-tail.'
'Eagle-feather.' 'Yellow-tail.' Yellow
feather II he gives 1t to his friend he
will be known as 'Gives-feather,' but
II he keeps 1t, when asked for it, he
becomes 'Keep-the-yellow-feath II
he has more than one feather. The
plan resorted to in some quarters Of
discarding the Indian names and fit-
ting the Indians out with names that
are purely English has not worked
well, for those selected in many cases,
are names illustrious in American his
tory, and this has caused the Indians
to become the butt Of many joke.
