Tepee Etiquette.

'If you should ever 90 into an lndian

they have rules of etiquette that are
more rigidly adhered to than in our
parlors.
'Do not think they are not sensitive,
for they are more so than the Japs,

whole family will remember the insult
for lifetime.

the door, across the fire pit. Wait
until you are invited before you take
that seat.
"If you 20 boiling into an Indians
tepee and rush over and take this va
cant seat he may not take you by the
nape of the neck and throw you out,
but he would like to If he thought 1t
could be done without cutting off his
rations.
"In leaving the tepee never pass be-
tween any one and the fire. An old
chivalric warrior will crawl around the
side Of the tent and kick hole in the
wall on the north side In blizzard
before he would violate this rule Of
etiquette and pass between his guests
and the smoking embers. s."-Arapahoe

What Did He See,

The professor Of English in one Of
our Western colleges was noted for
being very absent-mlnded. 1t was his
custom to call the roll each morning
before the lecture. One morning, after
calling a name to which there was no
response, he looked up, and, peerlng
over his spectacles, he asked, sharply !:

chair l see before me?"

later TODD looking down upon footprint
in the soft mold.
Following these footprints, he found
they led directly beneath the window of
the chamber occupied by Harriet Weldon.
This puzzled him. He was nonplussed
for the moment, when he noticed that
the vines on the lattice seemed lately to
have been disturbed. There was another
window below Miss Weldon's within easy
reach. He put up his hand, and it swung
open. Looking in he saw that it afforded
access to small pantry. and the door Of
the room was ajar. He took rule from
his pocket, and carefully measured the
footprints. Then, after Illuminating for a
few moments, he quickly re-entered the
house.

Threvy Brlck Into Truin .

The police are searching for the per- son who at midnight last night hurled a brick into a coach of passenger train No. as it was entering the city from the east
 The train had just crossed Hayne Street when the brick was thrown. It struck a window, breaking the glass and some portions of the glass struck an infant child in the face, badly wounding it. The brick continued and struck the opposite side of the coach, barely missing q lady seated on the side opposite the infant.
 The child was lying on a seat asleep. the mother and father, who were pass ing through the city from the eastern section of the State, occupying seats near. No clue has been obtained by the officers. but as it occurred at such a late hour it is not believed that any small boys are implicated.
