INDIANS LIKE GOLD TEETH.

The statement of Secretary Hitch
cock that "the grafters would steal
the gold from the teeth of the full
blood Indians if the department Of
the interior did not protect them,"
causes the average man to smile.
The full-blooded Indians have a
fancy for gold teeth, and many of
them have a row of teeth that gilt
ter. This is where the secretary got
his idea.
1t may be interesting to know just
how some of these Indians got the
gold to put in their teeth. The fol-
lowing story is told by a clerk in the
Choctaw land Office, who saw the in
cident when it happened: John
Willis, a Mississippi Choctaw, was
making deal with white man,
perhaps CRATER, whereby the white
man was to get his surplus land un-
der lease. He incidentally remarked
that he had tooth that he wanted
fixed, so the CRATER, who was very
anxious, told him to go to dentist,
have his teeth fixed, and have the
dentist charge it to him, the CRATER.
The Indian went over and decided
that he would have full set of gold
teeth. He had the dentist pull all
his teeth, some of them perfectly
sound, and a new set made of gold.
The bill amounted to $3.50, which,
according to instructions, the Indian
had charged to the CRATER, and
which the latter had to pay.

ESCAPED WITH THE TREE.


Gustave Becker, the chef of the
Holland house in New York, recent
ly bought an apartment house worth
100000.
In a discussion of this purchase
Mr.. Becker said:
81 am one of the owners Of the
Holland house, and for number Of
years I have been interested in real
estate. Chefs in America get, I am
happy to say, good salaries, but to
state that they get salaries big
enough to allow them, every little
while, to invest their surplus savings
in 100000 apartment houses-wesl,
that is an exaggeration, like the pie
story of the Breton farmer.
"There was farmer in Brittany
who wished to tell a visitor how his
farm had been overrun with pies.
Pies, you know, are large birds,
black and white, with long tails-a
kind of a crow.
"The farmer said the pies devas-
tated his fields horribly. If he put
up scarecrows the birds tore them
down. One day his young son ran
into the granite farmhouse and
shouted:
go, father, hundreds and hun
dreds of birds! The wheat is being
all eaten upp
s'The farmer loaded his gun. But
where was the shot? 1t couldn't be
found. He put in a few handfuls Of
tacks instead. Then he ran out.
'"The wheat field was black and
| white like checker board, with
pies. The farmer gave loud yell
and the birds all few up into tall
poplar. He fired, and 10, every bird
was nailed fast to the tree.
"They were nailed fast. Their
Tapping wings filled the air with a
loud whirr. The farmer, amazed,
stood watching them. Then strange
thing happened.
"The birds, with one grand, united
effort, pulled up the huge tree and
flew away with it"

STORY TELlERS IN DEMAND.

In New York there is a banquet
every night at which men make
speeches and sad and dismal and
gloomy are most of them. Commit
tees of arrangements are always
working overtime to find good talk
ers. They search the country over
for speakers who can tell anecdotes,
spin yarns, manufacture epigrams,
make the welkin ring with wisdom,
wit and allegory, aid the digestion
while relaxing the mind, etc. Alas
Too many banquets have become
mere megaphones for political bluff
and buster, speaking trumpets of
solemn statesmen unable to obtain
a hearing elsewhere. Let us get back
to the cheerful feast of reason and
low of soul and leave serious prob
lens to the heavy periodicals.

HOW TO LlCHTEN A ROOM

Not only should there be yellow on
the walls. but also on the ceiling, for
the sake of the reflection. A pretty
treatment is to have light pumpkin
yellow on the walls as far as the pic
ture molding and lighter shade
above this and on the ceiling. Then
yellow silk sash curtains, pulled back,
tend to make room sunny.
Brass can make wonderful differ
ence to dreary room. A large jar
diniere, with a plant in 1t placed in
dark corner will tighten up most mar
vellously. The andirons, too, will give
CHEEKY reflection, even candlesticks
help, and little trays and bowls, be
they ever so small The Importance
of brass in a sunless room cannot be
too strongly emphasized. Mirrors
brighten up and so do some pictures,
with well-polished glasses and gilded
frames. but these little points are too
seldom taken into consideration.

A TEST OF SANITY.

In Laos, an undeveloped region
Of French Indo-C China, there is some
thing out of the way in the shape of
a village of lunatics. The most COM
mon form of madness there is belief
among the lunatics that buffaloes
are inside them. When these mad
men get too troublesome they are at
once removed to the village.
But previously they are tested for
madness by being bound hand and
foot and thrown into a river. If
they manage to swim that is sign
Of their being of sound mind. If
they sink to the bottom, as is most
often the case, isolation in the vii
lage is the sentence-in the event
of their being rescued alive.
