In 1866 the murderOus Sioux from

On the top rail of a stall, stuck upon
hooks and just high enough to grin
above the multitude, are the heads of
two sucking pigs. The eyes are half
open and wear n CLASSY smile. Round
the rim of the ears and at the edge of
the open grinning lips is line of
blood. They seem to hang there like
the presiding deities Of the market, the
gods of this sordid festival.
Butchers stand before their open
windows. calling loudly and briskly
for customers and reaching down joints
of meat from steel hooks, which they
fling to a man inside to be weighed.
Children, bareheaded and in rags,

offering beet roots on pieces Of dirty
newspaper. The street is filled with
cries. There Is a smell of fish and
fusty garments. Into our faces rs we
go forward foul, fat women with
hoarse voices shove handfuls of animal

and tell us that the cost is only two
pence. At another barrow an old wo-

the governor: ooh. yes; it is easy
enough. But I'll need forty of the best
men 1 can select. You can keep the
rest Of your volunteer force here"
Governor Smith looked at him in
amazement. So did the visitor from
the fort They both thought he was
either insane or braggart Governor
Smith said to him, "How in the name
of heaven do you expect to raise the
siege of Fort C. F. Smith with forty
men when you know that it is sur
rounded by more than 1000 blood
thirsty Indians and that the country
between here and there is covered with
thousands more of murderous Sioux"
Said McCabe quietly: why, gov
ernor, it is easy enough. The Indians
know us and know that we know
them better than they know them
selves. You folks from the east have
an idea that what you call Indian
atrocities are simply unmeaning exhj
billions of brutality; that scalping, for
instance. is simply a form of torture
In that you are mistaken. The Indian
believes that no man can go to the
happy hunting grOund-heaven we call
it-whO has been deprived of his hair
Their motive in scalpinG n victim is to
carry out fiendish hatred to its utmost
by preventing him from having a hap
py hereafter. Therefore to deprive an
Indian of Wis scalp is to rob him of his
hope of NapW hereafter. My men
never kill aTNIndian without sCalping
him, and the Indians know that. The
forty men l will select for this eXpedi-
ton are unerring in their aim with
the rife. They can shoot sixteen shots
In sixteen seconds, and every ball
means a dead Indian. and every dead
Indian means n scalp. and every scalp
means a warrior deprived eternally of
| chance of ever reaching the happy
hunting ground. My forty men will
walk from here to Fort c. F. Smith

Incredible" said Governor Smith.
True" said Captain McCabe.
What was the result?
Forty men walked the $50 miles from
Bozeman to Fort c. F. Smith. Indians
watched them on every side. BY days
their progress was signaled by circline
| columns of smoke and by night by fire
from mountain tops. But not shot

Fearful Picture of Poverty
and Dissipation.

Let me show you something which is
more terrible than tragedy and more
hideOus than vice. 1t is a close wedged
procession of thousands of happy but
shabby men and women and children
passing at a crawl between shop win
dows and costermongers barrows on
a Saturday night in winter in south
east London. The wind from the
Thames blows hither and thither the
flames and naphtha lamps and makes
them tug and hiss at the greasy burn
ers. 1t is bitterly cold. Women draw
their gray shawls closer over their
heads: men turn up their coat collars,
hump their shoulders and thrust their
hands deeper in their pockets, and the
blue faced children, squeezed between
the legs of the crawling multitude,
shiver and shuttle as they creep so
slowly forward with chattering teeth
and purple lips, which twitch and
shudder, half from cold and half from
hunger.
Look at some of the faces. The
women have their hair dragged back
from their foreheads. The eyes are
hardly visible. The noses are short and
broad. The blubber lips reach across
their swollen faces. The men have
shifty eyes. Their underiaws project
There is nothing in their faces which
suggests dignity or kindness. On al

trait Criticised by an American.
The late Theobald Chartran. the IA
nous French portrait painter. in 1903
figured in dramatic incident in New
York just before his departure for
France which recalls in a way the
story of Meissonier's destruction of the
noted portrait of Mrs. John w. Mac
kay, says the Cincinnati Commercial
Tribune.
NJ. Chartran had painted on order
full length portrait of the attractive
wife of q New Yorker prominent In
business and social affairs. For this
portrait NJ. Chartran was to receive at
least $1,000
The portrait was completed, and the
husband called, at his wife'S request,
at the artists studio In Bryant park,
New York, to see it. Friends of the
artist had previously seen the painting
and pronounced it a brilliant example
of NJ. Chartran'S best work.
The husband viewed the portrait and
examined it critically.
"A beautiful picture. but it is not
my wife," he remarked.
WIN Is II, theh dsheu M Nhal-
tran.
II do not know, but it Is not my
wife, was the reply.
Then followed the suggestion that,
as the likeness was not satisfactory. a
reduction in price might be arranged.
With look of Scorn NJ. Chartran
| coolly walked to the canvas. picked up
knife and with quick strokes slashed
| the painting to pieces, then, throwing
