INDIAN WOMEN STORIES.

While the popular belief that the In- dian wife is merely an unreakoned quantity in the affairs of her tribe and nation, slave and drudge for her warrior husband. has some foundation, the rule has may exceptions. a
 That the squaw should perform the most of the daily labor about the camp and wigwam, while the brave takes his ease. in order to be fresh and strong for the long hunting trip or the hardships of the warpath, seems in ae- cord with the natural fitness of things in Indian philosophy, and the squaw performs her task willingly and with out a murmur.
 But let her lord and master assume too arbitrary a hand or heap too many indignities upon her, and there is im- mediately such domestic war in the camp that he is not likely soon to for get it. Never will the writer forget an instance of this kind which he witness ed one night in the upper Columbia river country, about six years ago. He had pitched his tent near an Indian encampment in plain view and with in reasonable earshot of the redskin band, and along in the evening his att tention was called to the fact that some unusual commotion was going on among his neighbors. The light of sey- eral campfires made everything plain. ly visible, and sitting upon a conven- lent log in front of his tent, he ob- served highly interesting and rather amusing spectacle. ..t-s
 One of the warriors had incurred the displeasure of his patient squaw, and was manfully trying to bluff the matter cut, with an overawlng sternness and dignity commensurate with his person. al greatness as a noted brave and the lord and master of his household.
 But the more he tried. to overawe her the fiercer and more defiant became the wrathful squaw, until, suddenly drawing a long, wicked looking knife, she leaped into the open space in front of the circle of wigwanls, and, throw ing her blanket from her shoulders, stamped 1t into the ground with spite full impetuosity. Then, squaring her. self like q Roman Gladiator, she pro- ceeded to hurl such a mighty and scathing tirade Of abuse and defiance at the whole Indian camp that all withdrew to a respectful distance, not enc yenturing to make a movement while she had the floor.

comparable to that of an untanied lioness. Not another word was heard from Mfr. Brave, and a modest, re- Ispeetful silence enveloped the whole Indian camp for the remainder of the night.
 In point of personal bravery the squaw is often far from being the irl- ferior of her lawful mate. The annals of the west are full of instances of her courage. Many times during the free Sioux war in the Black Hills regin detatchments of warriors were saved from destruction by the bravery and lstratagem of some of their squaws. IOne of these occasions was when a gentle eyed, pleasent faced maiden, Louise, afterward the wife of Sitting Bull, saved the great chief and hun dred of his braves from annihiiation by running fearful gauntlet of death and bringing help to the besieged warriors | in the very teeth of a perfect hail. lstorm of bullets and arrows. - ! This dauntless spirit is seen to a jyery marked degree in the Indian wo- men of all the northwestern tribes, and particularly among the ojibways Great lakes. It seems that no situa- ton is too appalling, no danger too great for them to face without hesi- tation and without fiinching.
 | An instance in this connection also
 was witnessed some fifteen years ago lat a blueberry camp few miles north lof Bear lake, in Minnesota.
 Seryeral hundred Ojibway families were employed in picking the sweet berries, which grow in great abundance throughout the pine forets of this northern region, and which are crated and shipped in carloads to St. Paul land other city markets to. the south-
 ward during the season of the fruits iripening. As usually. happens at such times some one had managed tc

THE RRAGGaRT.

New Years day and it's customary
 gifts always remind me of an incident
 during the seize of Paris which re- call with a distinct feeling of pleasure ble pride. & 3&% s.. Let my readers be treasured, lowev- CT, am not about to lead them to the beleaguered ranlparts of the city, nor to the outposts, but simply to the Rue de
 Trevise, to the home of my old friend
 Dutailly rich merchant. husband of
 most excellent wife, father of a charm | ing daughter, a clever business man, a
 good patriot, somewhat of crank as regards politics, but, one of the best
 men in the world and good friend al-
 ways.
 Surprised by the investment of Paris just as he was packing his trunks to de- part, the worthy man consoled himself
 with the belief that the city would not
 be held a week. Madame Dutailly, bet ter advised, hastened to lay in such a
 stock of provisions that even had the
 siege lasted three months longer the Dutaillys would never have nknow what famine meant. She concluded her wise work by turning her garden into
 COW pasture, a hen farm and a resi- dence for pigs, which, three months
 later, were worth their weight in gold. When the autumn came and the siege
 still continued her family rose up and
 called her blessed, and so did I, for I
 dined twice 9, week with the Dutaillys,
 and on Thursdays and Sundays made up for the privations of the rest of the week. There are no words worthy to express my emotion at the sight of a
 real omelette, one which was not the
 mere fiction of a dream, and my Sum- day dinners became like enchanted feasts to me.
 I was not the only quest at this hos
 pitable table. There was another seat
 placed beside mine. This was for
 young Anatole Brichaut, head clerk in the big store and Dutailly's future
 partner and son-in-law.
 He was an honest lad, a trif1e melan- choly and rather timid, but deeply and
 sincerely in love with his chiefs daugh- ter, Mile. Gertrude, who did not appear insensible' to his affections. Although u 'WeeS iloL e'S SGtaetil oohlloWieuSeu ldCt, the Dutaillys thought sufficiently we'll of the probable marriage to receive the young man constantly at their home. Unfortunately, the war proved the
 obstacle in the course of true love- Bri-
 chaut, corporal in the corps of the
 Seine, did his duty as soldier bethod- ically and conscientiously, but without enthusiasm, and consequently without glory.
 This indifference exasperated the honest merchant. He was constantly
 predicting decisive victories for the French troops. Brichaut. incredulous,
 tinlidly offered various objections, and
 later, when the victories unhappily proved grave defeats, Dutailly felt that

known as Joe Bug. an evil and desper- ate outlaw of that region, had conn mitted most unprovaked and cold blooded murder at the station and was fleeing for his life toward the coy- CT of timber mile or so to the south ward. The whole town had been arous- ed, and men were hot on his track from all directions.
 4 small party Of Ojibways were Icamped beside the railroad. about half a mile below the station, and here the outlaw first showed himself after talk ing to the brush and willows which covered the intervening space. But, anticipating this very move. two of the pursuers had fianked the camp in the rear and when the fugitive cross ed the gun to his shoulder than one just back of the tepees they sprang suddenly in front of him, backing his pathway,
 It chaneed that neither of the men carried firearms of any kind, and Bug at once threw up his rife to shoot them down. But no sooner had he rais- ed thre gun to his shoulder than one LuG S4udNS sdl ltlt guessing the truth of the situation at a glance, sprang in front of the des-

 were too late With a curse of free ha- tired the outlaw jerked savagely at the trigger and the bullet pierced the heart of the brave women.
 He had no time for another shot, for lthe men were upon him. Leaping te

Increased Assessments.

The demand for more revenue
with which to maintain the ex-
penditures of the State admins
tration is surprising to many citi-
zens, who had been led to believe
that there was surplus in the
treasury. At least this impress
sion was created at about the time
Gov. Heard retired from Office,
which was assumed by Blanchard.
In his farewell to the people,
Gov. Heard offered valuable and
hopeful suggestions, on the re-
tirement of bonds, for riastance,
with the surplus said to have been
in the treasury; and there was
left on the public mind the inn
preston that the six mills would
be more than sufficient to main
tain the government on the basis
of assessment, but, under the
present administration, the as
sessment, on the plea Of equali-
zation, is being raised throughout
the State which is intended to
create revenue sufficient to meet
a deficit. If the finances during
the administrations, when Foster
and Heard were Governors, were
more than ample to meet all the
expenditures of the government,
it is therefore pertinent to inquire
how is it that there is deficit, to
cover which more funds must be
collected from the people, already
tax-ridden, and the increase es-
sential to meet the requirements
of the present administration
must be created through the me-
dunn of increased assessments
throughout the State? 1t is about
time the people were awaking to
realization of the situation.-

Dear Sir: The easiest busines
in this world is dry-goods; the
reason is: your customers want
your stuff as much as you want to
sell it; they come in; you show it
and sell it. That the whole busi-
ness, except your buying the goods
Devoe comes next. It saves mon
ey, and people like money. They
like somebody else's more than
their own; they like to make it
more than to save it; they like to
keep it perhaps as we'll as to make
it.
Buildings run down fast, with
out paint; poor paint is the same.
Devoe is the means of stopping
that leak; big one. All we've got
to do, to sell Devoe, is to show
that man saves money by using,it.
