Odd History of a Potted Plant.

On the front lawn Of one of the older
families in College avenue stands a
potted plant, Il Japanese evergreen called
japonica, which has an interesting his
tory The plant was bought in Indian
apolis in the late '50S and taken to Dan
vile. Ind, where it was presented to
the bride of the purchaser. A year or
two later the japoniea was given to the
family of Coleman Cash. one of the pi-
oneers of Hendricks county, and when
one of Cash's daughters was married
Mt the close of the Civil war it was
brought TO Indianapolis, where she came
to live and still lives. Since tLat time
the plant has belonged to the same fam
lily. Age has begun to tell on the little
bush, as it is now scrawny in appear
ance, but it is still green and thriving.
The last time the plant bloomed was late
in the sos, when the blossoms where

UNLUCKY ROYAL SAILORS.
Misfortunes of Princes Who Have Fol-

In view of the fact that Prince Ed

says London Tit-Bits, that the only royal
sailor princes who have escaped mishap
are his father, the Prince of Wales, and
the Duke Of Genoa. Somehow royal
and imperial princes who have adopted
seafaring life as a profession seem to be
pursued by i'll luck.
The Grand Duke Alexis, lord high adj
miral of the Russian fleet, managed to
run his yacht into u Russian steamship,
with little damage TO the latter, but in
juring the yacht so much that the re-
pairs cost 100000 rubles.
His brother-in-law, the Duke of Sake
Coburg- Gotha, while Duke of Edinburgh,
holding rank in the British navy, was so
unfortunate as to lose his flagship, the
Sultan on a rock near Malta.

had the misfortune to run down Il vesse!

The sailor brother of the German
Emperor has hitherto escaped maritime
disaster; but his misfortunes on land
have been uncommonly numerous, espe-
cially when he has been out shooting.
Not only did he severely injure a Greek
gentleman by the accidental discharge of
his gun at Corfu some few years ago
but there is also Il gamekeeper of his
uncle, the Grand Duke of Baden, who
is in receipt of handsome pension
from the prince for serious wound re-
sulting from his carelessness i'll handling

Indian as a Friend.

'1he popular saying that the only
good Indian is a dead Indian is great
injustice" said w. w. Philips of Seat
tie, Wash. Mr.. Philips is one of seven
men appointed by the state of Washing
ton to compile history of the American
Indian. For the last two years he has
been living IN close association with the
red man i'll different parts of the west
He has lived with them in their tepees,
and taken part in their war dances
their peace celebrations and other fes-
tiyities in order that he might study
their customs. their thought, their re-
ligion and the like.
I'VE frequently hear the Indian spok-
en- of as being sullen," continued Mr.
Philips. Never was there greater
error. Once you know an Indian and
gain his confidence there is no more
delightful companion on earth and there
is not more loyal or more considerate
friend. If he is preiudiced against the
whites, and it is natural to presume
he is, he has his reasons, and those rea.
sons are good ones.
The Indian is essentially romantic
He was born in the forest, and his
home is there. He sees and knows ma.
ture better than the white man. Pope
knew the Indian when he wrote: 'Lo
the poor Indian, whose untutored mind
sees God in clouds or hears him in the
wind We cannot understand him be
cause we do not know him. but he is
genuine, he is good. He has lofty ideals
and he lives up to them. | have par

wedding festivals and | have smoked
