Uncle Sans Mail Ground
Under Wheels of
Santa Fe Train

A rather astonishing, RAPID
and free delivery of mail matter
was performed here by mail tram
No. 7 last Friday noon. we
have heard of passenger trains
taking water while running at
full speed, but the idea OF a mail
train undertaking to distribute a
sack of Z. S. mail to a star
tied population while passing
through a town at a torty-mlle
gait never occurred to us before,
The distribution was perfect
as far as it went-and it seemed
to 90 far enough too, from the
water tank to the stOckyards,
but heretofore we had gotten IN
to the habit of calling at the post
office for mail and this sudden
innovation of the Santa Fe mail
service was a little puzzllng at
first. To the little knot OF c1t1-
zens gathered at the station as
the train whizzed past it had the
appearance of an Uncle Tom S
Cabin SnowstOrm consisting OF
a cloud of white bits OF paper,
but upon closer investigation 1t
proved to be, or rather had been,
a sack of mail matter destined
to Fort Apache, which when
kicked out of the mail car of the
rapidly moving train was by the
suction drawn under the wheels.
The pouch and contents were
instantly torn to shreds and
strewn more than a hundred
Yards along the track.
Most of the matter in this par
ticular pouch seemed to have
been newspapers and periodicals
but several pieces of letters and
envelopes were picked up with
portions of the address still dis
tinguishable, which indicated
that there had also been letter
mail in the bag. A few parcels,
letters, and papers were unbro-
ken but all were more or less
damaged. The scraps and bits
of mail matter were carefully
picked up and a list of the dam
aged and soiled letters and par.
GELS was prepared by the post
master together with a state
ment of the cause, signed by doz-
ems OF eve-witnesses. This list
and statement has been forward
ed to the Santa Fe headquarters

whos despite his shabbiness and absence
of pretension, carried about him in every

might never repent of his readiness to
marry the forlorn little girl, and so give
her the home and protection she seemed
little likely to find elsewhere.

INDIANS FOND OF BILLIARDS.
Their Favorite Dish-Time of Feasting
and Dancing.

The Kiowa, Comanche and Cheyenne
tribes in southwestern Oklahoma consid-
er dog meat better eating than any other
meat, writes a Mountain View CORE
spondent of the st. Louis Globe Demo
crat.
When the Kiowas have a feast dog
meat is given the first place as d special
honor to the invited guests. When the
guest happens TO be a white man, he dares
not refuse the profered delicacy If he
desires to preserve his friendship with
the red man. Many paleface has thus
been compelled to eat dog meat, or lose his
Indian friends good will, and as a result
comes away with a longing to again
taste the toothsome meat. Few white
men in Oklahoma who have. eaten dog
meat will say that it is not good,

was riding into town in the finest equi-
pages that money can buy. They are
principally blanket Indians, wearing their
long hair hanging in neat braids down
their backs or plated with bright colored
strips of muslin, gaudy blue, red and yell
low intermingled with white. The
squaws carry the Indian babes in cradles
or 'pontkas" strapped on their backs,
and go about the streets apparently not
the least hampered by their burdens.
The young bucks are fond of playing
billiards, but seldom are seen in the
bowling alleys, presumably because bill
lizards to the average young Indian re-
quires less exertion. At night not an
Indian is seen on the streets or in the
places of amusement. They return to
the reservation before shutdown.
March 10 is the day they are paid off

feastipg and dancing till the money is
ill spent. Their credit is good ut the
stores and they are always prompt to
pay off their debts on receiving their
money from Uncle Sam.

When Grover Cleveland was practicing
law at Buffalo, among his associates was
young lawyer who, though bright
fellow, was rather inclined to lnziness.
He was forever bothering Cleveland
about points of law rather than look
them up himself.
At last Cleveland became tired Of it,.
and the next time the young man saun-
tered in Cleveland knew what he want

case and said, There are my books. You
