Monument to Uncas at Norwich, Conn

Uncas on the occasion mentioned.
They gathered about the monument,
the Indians in their warpath trappings
and with their ponies, and here Col.
Cody told them in the simple elo-
quence of the plains the story of I'm
cas- and his people.
After Col. Cody had concluded his
remarks the Indians, without previous
instructions from Buffalo Bill" at sig
nails from Rocky Bear and Iron Tail,
chanted the wild and weird dirge with
which the Indian honors the memory
of his dead.
1t was a moving spectacle and one
that much impressed the hundreds of
Norwich citizens who saw it.

away veteran bugler from the Sixth

LAST OF SIOUX AT TOMB OF LAST
OF MoHlCANS.
General Belief That Red Man Is Une-
motional Disproved by Incident
During Col. Cody's Visit
to Norwich, Conn.

Chicago.-There exists among those
who know of the Indian character only
by reading fiction or by hearsay the
impression that the Indian is stoical
that he never laughs or cries and
that he is without tender sentiment.
This is simply misunderstanding of
the Indian character. Fact is the IN
dian is particularly emotional, though
he is not always particularly demon
strative in indications of what his
heart feels.
The impressions that the white men
received of the red man while an in
vader of the latter's domains have been
handed down to these generations
ever exaggerated. Thus the word sTn-
dian" has been a bugaboo to the chill
dren of many generations of America.
Education and civilization, so far as
they have reached the Indian, have
brought to view the better side of the
Indian among those of the east who
have had an opportunity to observe it;
his better side has been known to
those who have been familiar with
him in the far west.
Col. William F. Cody ("Buffalo
Bill') and his compatriots in blazing
the western way have found it neces-
sary to kill great many Indians in
battle and on the scout, but no man
knows better the good side of the In
dian than Col. Cody, and no one could
be more eloquent than he in demon
'strating it by words and treatment
With Col. Cody are many Indians
of the truest type. Notwithstanding
their travels all over North America
and Europe with the aggregation nam
ed, these red men preserve their GUS
toms, costumes, character, and individ-
uality to the last degree, and yet
under the kind treatment that they
receive at the hands of Col Cody and
his associates they are as kindly gen
ial, good natured, laughing or crying
or dignified lot as occasion demands
as any other body Of people that could
be gathered from any source.
These Indians appreciate a good
story when they can understand it,
and laugh az heartily at joke that
comes their way as anybody They
feel the loss of kin and their SYM
pathies are deep, strong and true.
A particularly interesting exhibition
of the sympathetic nature of the In
dian was brought about lately at Nor
wich, Conn, when they visited that
city.
About Norwich are many relics and
mementoes of the war between the
Narragansetts under Miantonomo and
the Mohegans under Uncas, an Indian

TRAPPING RABBITS.
Why the Proposition of Store-Keeper
Didn't Pan Out.

There are lots of rabbits in the
woods back of the rye field, and I've
got six box-traps in the barn. If you'll
see to EN- every morning we'll set the
traps now" This proposition made
to a 14year-old boy, says Mr. Fred
Mather, the author of Men | Have
Fished With seemed a fine PROPOSE
ton, and the boy Instantly agreed. He
was to put the captured rabbits in a
bag, and the man who owned the traps
was to take care of them. The boy
tells the story:
The next night was clear and crisp
and oh! how cold that morning was!
The first trap was inspiring. The Sec
ond actually held rabbit There was
the game crouched in the far end l
let the trap down, and for a few mo-
ments enjoyed my triumph. l was a
mighty trapper!
Il carefully adjusted the bag over
the trap, and then opened it. There
was thud in the bottom of the bag,
and then a glimpse of something gray
and a sound of Zip! zip!' and if that
really was a rabbit it was gone.
The third trap held a rabbit, and
with the last failure in mind, great
care was taken in arranging the bag,
but somehow the same thing happened
again. The next two traps were empty
and the sixth was sprung.
Remembering what Garry had said
about rabbit not biting, l put in
hand and brought the animal out some
way, memory fails to record how, but
it does bring back the pitiful cries
that rang through the woods. But |
hardened my heart and dropped the
game in the bag, and started for home
with my prize, in triumph not unmixed
with other feelings.
After bordering for while on the
escape of the other two rabbits, the
recollection of those pitiful cries came
up in full force. Then | seemed to
realize that they came from a poor,
terrified and harmless thing that | was
taking to be killed without the excite
ment of the hunt.
Il peeped into the bag. Two large
eyes and a trembling form were in
the corner. Somehow the grip on the
mouth of the bag was loosened, the
bottom was turned up, and a white
lump Of cotton in field of gray went
bobbing off into the brush
when l entered Tom Simmonds'
store, l said to Garry: Here's your
bag. l haven't got any rabbits, and
don't want any"

NEW ALABAMA SENATOR.
Ex-senator Johnston to Succeed Late

Birmingham, Ala.-The successor
to Senator E. w. Pettus, who died
recently in Hot Springs, N. c., will
be Former Gov. Joseph F. Johnson
of Birmingham. At the state pri-
maries last year candidates for the
alternate senatorships were voted on
and Senator j. H. Bankhead received
the highest vote. He was therefore
given the first vacancy upon Senator
Morgan's death. Gov johnson re-
ceived the next highest vote and will
therefore be elected by the legisla-
ture to the second vacancy caused by
Senator Pettus' death.
Gov. Johnson is GA years old, has a
fine war record and has always taken
lively interest in confederate affairs.
He served as governor of Alabama
from 1896 to 1900. ~

A Friend in Need.

house over there is where he and his
little girl lives"
The house looked as badly in need
of repairs as the barn. AS she looked
Emily saw dodge out of sight behind
the side of it little girl of about
her own age, with mass of tangled
hair and a very tattered dress.
Mrs. Spencer welcomed Emily cor
daily, and she felt at home from the
very first.
Everything was SO new that Emily
found much enjoyment in her walks
about the place.
After awhile she took longer trips
from the house, and often passed by
the barn of Peter Tumbledown' 8
Sometimes she saw the ragged little
girl, but as Emily was just a wee
bit proud because she came from the
city, and besides the girl was so very,
very dirty looking, she never spoke
to her
Near by was a beautiful lake with
tiny island right in the center of it,
One day Emily ventured into a boat
that lay by the shore and padded out
to the island.
Lying down to rest for few mo-
ments she fell asleep, and it was
late in the afternoon when she awoke.
You can imagine how frightened
she was when she found that the boat
had gone adrift and that there was nc
way of getting back to shore.
While she was wondering what to
do, she saw approaching her another
boat, and in it the ragged girl Of
'Tumbledown Cottage"
IF you don't mind coming into my
boat, said she shyly, when quite
near IL can take you to land
I'D be glad to, gratefully replied
Emily, and I'm much obliged to you
for your trouble. ."'
Emily soon learned that the little
girls name was Ally, that she never
went to school, and that her dog, Gyp,
was all she ever had to play with.
Ally really wasn't so bad once you
knew her, and, too, you could not but
pity her.
Emily thanked her again as she
left for home, and they parted quite
friendly.
Mr. and Mrs. Graham came the
next day, so she had no chance to see
Ally for some time. After that, how
ever, they met often, and Emily soon
found that although Ally had not been
to school, there was nothing in the
country that she and Gyp did not
know. il
Mr. Graham believes that Emily
learned more from Ally about grow
ing things than she ever learned in
school. as
Emily thinks so, too, and she has
learned, besides, that though a little
girl may be ragged, she may still be
worth while having for a friend

BABY TORTURED BY ITCHING.
Cry Until Tired Out-Speedy
Cure by Cuticura.

"My baby was about nine months
old when she had rash on her face and
feet. Her feet seemed to irritate her
most, especially nights. They would
cause her to be broken in her rest, and
sometimes she would cry until she was
tired out. l had heard of so many
cures by the Cuticura Remedies that
l thought l would give them trial.
The Improvement was noticeable in a
few hours, and before I had used one
box of the Cuticura Ointment her feet
were well and have never troubled her
since. l also used it to remove what
is known as cradle cap from her
head, and it worked like charm, as it
cleansed and healed the scalp at the
same time. Mrs. Hattie Currier,

EMlLY'S SUMMER FRIEND.
She Was Ragged, But She Knew the
Birds and Flowers and Trees.

IF you are really anxious to get
away, pet, suppose you go alone to
Spencer's, and well be there in a few
days"
Now that her father had given this
permission, Emily was not slow in
packing her goods for the trip, and
the next day she was on the way.
The Spencers lived in little vii
lage on the side of a mountain and
they had invited the Grahams to
spend vacation with them. Mr.. and
Mrs. Graham had yet to make ar
rangements before departing, but
Emily had hardly known what to do
with herself since school had closed
and was glad of the consent to go at
once
Arriving at the little station, Emily
was met by Mr.. Spencer in a light
carriage, for there was still some
little distance to go. She had seen
him often in the city, and so they
were well acquainted with one an
other.
Just before they reached the home
of the Spencers they passed by an
old shaky-looking barn that seemed
to be kept from falling only by stout
poles propped against the outside.
Who owns this wretched placer"
asked Emily with interest.
I'VE call him Peter Tumbledown,' ;"
answered Mr., Spencer; and that old
