An INDIAN EXPERIENCE.
'rrials Of a Girl Who Was Captured by
the Sioux.

The winter of 1861 was one
long to be remembered by the peo-
pie of Iowa and Minnesota for its
bitter cold weather, dees snow and
viol storms, which rerAered COM
Runication between the different
settlements almost impossible. y
great many of the settlements were
on the extreme frontier and abso-
lutely unprotected and defenscless.
1t was during this winter that the
Sioux attacked and DESTROYED the
family of Mr.. Rowland Gardner.
They killed all except Il Young
daughter. Abbic, who was taken IN
to captivity, but was rescued
through the efforts of the United
States government. In The Spirit
Lake Massacre" she tells something
Of her captivity:
Whenever tie Indians thought to
torture me by threatening to take
my life | would moTely bow my
head. Ny fearless acouic>@ence and
willingness to lie seemed to I'll
them all with wonder. They thought
it sign Of bravery.
Soon after my capture one of the
warriors. who was sitting by me one
dav in the tent. thinking to test my
courage or to be amused at my
fears, took his revolver from his belt
and began loading it. while he gave
me to understand that he would kill
me as soon as it was loaded. |
merely bowed my head to signify
that | was ready.
When the revolver was all load
ed he drew back the hammer and
held the weapon close to my head.
I quietly bowed my head, expecting
he would do as he said. But in
stead of that he lowered the weapon
and looked at me as if astonished
and then laughed uproariously. So
amused was he that he told his COM
panions of it, and it was favorite
subject of conversation.
These Indians were at loss to
know what to do with much of the
plunder they had taken. Among
the spoils were quantities of soda
and cream of tartar. They interro-
gated me as to their use, and when
I told them we used it in making
bread they wished me to make
some. They seemed greatly sur
prised and pleased when they saw
the bread "grow" during the process
of baking. Although pleased with
the growing" they were too suspi-
cious of being poisoned to eat any
until l had eaten. Then they de-
voured it greedily.

An Essential to Leadership.

The professor of economies was

of leadership in all things, and from
the greatness of the leader he
plunged into a discussion of the es-

he exclaimed, "is the great char

first great essential to successful
leadership"
He paused that the question and
its import might be fully appreci-
