AN INDIANS WIT.-Last winter,
when the Indian football team from
Carlisle, Penn, came to Chicago to
wipe up the gridiron with their pale
face brethren from Wisconsin univer-
sity. the copper colored visitors receiv-
ed a great deal of attention at the
hands of the young women students of
DR.. Harpers school.
A group of the girls surrounded one
Of the swarthy athletes. and, having
taken him prisoner, began to cross
question him.
Tell me-" remarked one gushing,
radiant creature, why do you red
people paint your faces when you go
on the warpath?"
For the same reason, l presume,
that you white ladies powder your
faces when you go upon the warpath
In society" quietly replied the Indian.

ezg The passengers on a trolley car
were very much amused recently by a
conversation between two colored men
one of whom was a deacon in a down
town church. He introduced the sub
ject of new fence around a grave
yard, and asked his companion, who
had more worldly inc!inations. for a
contribution for that purpose. His re-
ply was: What yo' want fence
round dat graveyard TO-? Live pus-
sons doan want to get in. and I'm dog

ment was clinched right there.-Detroit

First Nebrnsl1n Present.

A little handful of the First Nebraska,
the regiment raised by General Thayer in
response to President Lincolns call for
troops was present at the funeral Only
sixty-one of that famous body of soldiers
are now alive. In 1861 they marched away
a thousand strong to join the army of Gem
eral Grant In the field. Their colonel was
made brigadier after their first fight, and
was soon in charge OF a brigade and win
ming undying honor for himself and his
state as a soldier. But the regiment did
not lose interest in the man who had led
1t to the front, nor did he lose sight of or
interest in his boys. On Shiloh's bloody
field. when the First Nebraska lay fiat on
the ground, facing a rebel battery less
than 100 yards away and was being bat
tered by its terrible fire, General Thayer,
dismounted and alone, without aide or ad-
jutant, walked along the line, and. calm
and cool as II on parade, said; Boys, you
must take that battery" His splendid
courage was responded to in such fashion
that the battery was soon in the hands OF
the First Nebraska and a change was
wrought in at least that part of the field.
This is only one of the many Instances of
the interest the general took in his regi-
ment during the progress of the war. The
organization saw fighting at Fort Donelsoh,
Shiloh, Corinth and in Arkansas. After
its service in the Tennessee campaign, 1t
was changed from infantry to cavalry, and
was sent to Arkansas, where 1t had much
trouble in the border warfare that har-
raised that part Of the country. Many
chases after bushwhackers and guerillas
kept the boys from stagnating in camp.
and while their deeds are not blazoned high
on fame's SCROLL they we're just as impor-
tant in the restoration OF peace and good
order as II the soldiers had been sacrificed
In some Of the many spectacular battles OF
the war. The members of the regiment
who were present at the funeral were

Man" and the late Alexander Ramsey of
Minnesota Both men lived far past the
maximum of the ordinary life. Thayer dy-
ing at the age OF SC. Ramsey at 80. In size
these two old heroes in peace and war were
much alike, being short and thick OF
stature. In the general contour of their
faces they were stTilkingly alike. except
that Thayer wore a full, stubby beard,
while Ramsey was content TO let a pair Of
earlocks drop from his temples. But It was
I'm their careers that the channels of their
lives so nearly converged.
Both were old Indian fighters on the
frontier In the early days. Each served his
respective state as governor, Ramsey being
governor Of Minnesota territory and the
first Of the state, going down in history as
the war governor" Each served his own
state as United States senator. Each or
ganized and sent to the front the first reg
dent Iincolns call to put down the rebel
lion. Ramsey was, in fact, the first gov
ernor in the United States to respond to
Lincoln's call for troops. Each man was
closely identified until well toward the
sunset of his glorious career. with the state

and attended its meetings as long as his
physical condition would permit him to at

distinguished life gives. Both were cordial
in the extreme, both having passed through
bitter trials. seemed sweetened by the test
OF experience and both had much good to
say OF their fellowmen and no ILL., While
In the main the salient points OF these
mems lives corresponded, In one respect
they were radically different. For several
years before his death Governor Ramsey's
memory was poor. very poor. while Gov
ernor Thayer's, for a man OF his years,
was unusually good, even If treacherous at
times. Each to the List possessed his mental
faculties TO wonderful degree. A writer
in a magazine recently had much to say
on the excellent memory Of Governor Ram
sey up to the day of his death. AS a mat
ter of notable fact this was the first en-
phatic evidence Of the Grand Old Mans"
permanent surrender to old age. as he and
his family recognized.
One experience will serve to illustrate.
On Christmas eve. 1900. a newspaper man
was assigned to call on Governor Ramsey

But the details of this incident were ex-
tremely hard for him to recall At first he
said he couldn't remember It at all. and
then. after II was refreshed in his mind. he
exclaimed. "Oh, yes" and related all he
remembered about H. He had taken the

ton through the whole war. winning pro-
motion by his services and leaving the
service when peace was declared with
fine record. He came to Nebraska not
long after the war, and from the day Of
his arrival to the day of his death was
leader In the affairs of Omaha. He had
not had the statewide influence Of the
great leader who was buried at Lincoln
on the day of his death, but at Omaha his
personality was felt with no light impress
sion. On Monday he was buried, with
only civic ceremony He had united with
the Catholic church during his last ILL
ness and the ceremonies at his home were
those of that faith. At the city hall, where
the body lay in state for some time, many
thousands passed the coffin for a last look
at the face of the man who was so ia
mfliar to all the citizens during his life
time. The ceremonies here were very
brief, an eulogy being pronounced by Hon.
Howard N. Baldrige, and the body was
escorted to the tomb. The most notable
feature Of the funeral was the presence
of many from the humber walks OF life.
who mourned the dead mayor as a true
friend. Colonel Moores had been known
as a most generous man during his life
time, but no one will ever know the full
extent OF his generosity. The stories that
are told of his charity are many, but are
not to be numbered with the stories that
will be made public.

w. J. Connell drew this composite pic
ture of the characteristics of Frank e.
Moores:
Frank e. Moores was one Of the most
picturesque and composite characters that
ever lived in Omaha. He combined the
rugged features of the mountain and the
peaceful quiet Of the valley. The first and
most striking phase OF his character was
loyalty. He was intensely loyal TO his
country, loyal to his city and loyal to his
friends. His next and ever present
characteristic was courage. He always
dared to do what he believed to be
right, regardless of consequences. As a
young soldier he proved his bravery during
the civil war in many battle. In political
contests he was always at the front and
in the thickest OF the fight. and nothing
that could be said about him or against
his friends would in the least intimidate
him or dampen his ardor. His next and
most noticeable Characteristic was humor.

~0N FRIDAY March q. the body Of
John Milton Thayer was followed
70 the grave by probably the most
imposing cortege that ever moved
in Nebraska. His long prominence
In Nebraska affairs had given him stand

or the leaders of every walk OF life at his
bier. 1t was as fellow citizen, a soldier
who had led his troops in the field, states
man who served the people of a great
state, and man who had retired to private
life. fun Of honor, that these assembled to
do him the last tribute Of respect. It was a
military funeral fitting for the first soldier
OF the state. Governor Mickey ordered out

tional Guard, and the regiment from the

dignity. For two days the body lay in

building, where thousands called to take a
last look at the face of the leader whose
lamp of life fairly hickered out On the
day of the funeral the body was borne from
the catafalqVe to the hearse. and escorted
by the military and veterans was taken
to st. Paurs Methodist Episcopal church,

where the services were held. Many thou
sands of people lined the streets from the
capitol to the church, reverently uncovering
as the cortege passed.

Impressive Ceremony at the Church.
The immense auditorium of st. Paurs
church was filled to its fullest capacity By
the sincere mourners and when the doors
were finally closed, thousands were left
outside, unable to gain entrance. One Of
the noticeable features Of the CONGREGATION
gathered that afternoon was the large num-
Der of veterans. Hardly a head could be
seen in the body Of the church, but was
whitened by time, or denuded entirely.
1t was a singular sight. and one that
added much OF pathos to the situation.
These men, each rapidly nearing the dark
river, were silently attesting their love
for comrade who had preceded them,
and to them more than to the others came
home the message OF the occasion. 1t

boards, and in the capacious galleries OF
the church, was assembled the public, and
all who could be accommodated with room
were there. The ceremonies were simple,
his comrades OF the war and his COM

and virtues of the dead leader. Rev. Dr.

Hon. T. b. STROBE spoke of his career In

recounted his greatness in battle. and told
the story Of the First Nebraska volun-
teers; and Captain Henry NJ. Palmer told
Of General Thayer as comrade. In sim
