postmaster, but Capt. Cove and Sergt.

AN INDIAN EXPERIENCE.
Trials Of . 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, deep snow and
violent storms, which rendered COM
munication between the different
settlements almost impossible. A
great many Of the settlements were
on the extreme frontier and abso-
lutely unprotected and defenseless.
1t was during this winter that the
Sioux attacked and destroyed the
family of Mr.. Rowland Gardner.
They killed all except a young
daughter, Abbie, 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 the Indians thought to
torture me by threatening to take
my life would merely bow my
head. Ny fearless acquiescence and
willingness to die seemed to fiji
them all with wonder. They thought
it sign of bravery.
Soon after my capture one OF the
warriors, who was sitting by me one
day 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 IL astonished
and then laughed uproariously. So
amused was he that he told his COM
panions of il, and II was a favorite
subject of conversation.
These Indians were at loss TO
know what TO do with much Of tho
plumber they had taken. Among
the spoils we're quantities of soda
and cream Of tartar They interro-
gated me us to their use, and when
! told them we used II 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 had eaten. Then they do

Every Man His Own Doctor.

The average man cannot afford
to employ a physician for every
slight ailment or injury that may
occur in his family, nor can he
afford to neglect them, as SO slight
an injury as the scratch OF a pin
has been known to cause the loss
of limb. Hence every man must
from necessity be his own doctor
for this class of ailments. Success
often depends upon treatment,
which can only be had when suit
able medicines are kept at hand.
