REDS ARE GROWING WISE.
Pile Up Minor Criminal Cases to Sc
cure Witness Fees.
BRYE

North Yakima, Wash-How thor
oughly the red man is becoming
versed in the matter of the the pale
face, even in court matters, is Illus
trated by late case in the superior
court. An Indian was about to be SEN
fenced for some crime and he could
not understand English. Seated in
the rear of the room was young
buck who had been an interested spec
English well so he was called upon to
interpret the sentence imposed by the
judge, which he did.
AS soon as he did this he approach,

that he had been called as an inter-

fee as witness. Since he was called
as an interpreter in the court he will
probably receive his 50 when the war.

1t is the delight of any Yakima In.
dian to appear in court as witness
that 50 a day witness fee may be OBJ
tanned and mileage from the reserva-
ton to North Yakima. Whenever any
were involved in criminal action it
has been their custom to summon
many witnesses, having as many as
possible from their immediate family.
So frequent did the Indian cases,
such as horse stealing and petty lar
ceny actions, become that it finally
dawned upon the authorities that the
pesky redskins were instituting these
suits that they might obtain witness
fees. Since then there have been
comparatively few Indian cases
brought before the court.

Pillow Climbing.

In the middle Of the floor some dis
lance apart place sofa cushions, lamps,
bric-a-brac, etc. From among the com
pany choose a very smart young man
who has never "hoaxed" and ask him
to walk over the course between these
articles, 80 as to fix in his mind the
situation and distances Of the various
things. He is then blindfolded and d.
rected to thread his way among them
80 as not to touch one. Very gingerly
he will take his steps and wind about
over the floor, and when, triumphant
over his success, the handkerchief Is
taken from his eyes he is greatly sur
prised to see that not an article re-
mains on the floor. All were quickly
and quietly removed while he was be-
Ing blindfolded. 1t is great fun to see
him moving cautiously and tacking
here and there to avoid impediments
that do not exist.

A Trusting Monkey.

Poor little monkeys! They get hun
gry and tired and sleepy Just like chill
dren. Here 1s a story Of one that
lives in Buffalo. He belonged to an
organ grinder who stopped in front OF
a veranda where kind hearted gentle
man sat. When he came up and held
out his little cap for bit Of money
the gentleman, who is very fond OF
animals, gave him red checked ap-
pie. The monkey jumped upon his lap
and ate the apple, and between the
bites he fixed his bright eyes on the
face Of his new friend. He must have
made up his mind that he would trust
him, for as he finished the apple he
laid his head against the gentleman's
arm and fell asleep. The kind friend
Of animals paid the organ grinder to
play a long time, 80 that the tired lit
tie monkey could have his nap. When
he awoke his master pulled the chain
and he followed the organ grinder
much brighter and happier for the
kindness shown to him.

Origin of Sunday.

Sunday, as the word implies, Is Sun
day-the day Of the sun. Men wor-
SHIPPED the sun for long time before
they began to worship God, and Sun
day was the day on which the source
Of light and heat received their adora-
ton. On this day Christ's resurrec-
ton Is supposed to have taken place;
hence the Sunday became the worship
day Of the Christians.
