Wanted His Wages.

A reservation Indian was disconso-
late over the breaking Of his ak handle.
He laid his misfortune before the
farmer" of the reservation, who,
thru pity, took a new handle from
his private stock and adjusted it to the
AK.
The farmer then noticed that the
ak was shockingly dull; so motioning
the owner to turn the grindstone he
expended half hours time in sharp
ening the blade.
When the rehabilitated ak was given
to the Indian he was childishly gleeful,
but still fingered about, indicating by
his action that some feature Of the
transaction had not been adjusted.
The farmer was little annoyed,
and called to the interpreter, "Ask the
old fellow what he warts now" he d.
rected.
After an exchange Of grunts and
gestures the interpreter announced,
"He wants Is cents"
TWENTY-FIVE cents! What for?"
"For turning the grfndstone!"

Re.t.ur.nt Stories.

AT the Lllcullus clubs recent dinner
in New York George w. Rector told a
great many restaurant stories. He has
bene a collector Of these stories for a
number Of years
"There Is the French menu story
he said. 1.-The French menu Is neces-
sary because we haven't got. in Eng
lish, the words to describe certain
sauces and certain methods OF cooking.
Hence we should all know culinary
French. Otherwise we make grave err
rors. Thus know a young man who
took girl to lunch, and the waiter
asked:
"'Will monsieur have a la carte or
table d'hote?'
Both said the young man, and
put plenty Of gravy on 'em.'
II don't care for the vulgar type OF
restaurant story" continued Mr.. Rec
tor. II refer to that type where the
guest shouts angrily to the waiter:
"'Ugh, this steak II not fresh. What
horrible smell! Here. waiter, Judge
for yourself
But, shaking his head, the waiter
points to the next tatle and answers
grimly:
"Beg pardon, SIR you're quite
wrong It's the other gentleman's
fish,
"Or the story said Mr.. Rector, "of
the man who whispered:
"A clothes-pin, waiter. want to
qua 1t on my nose while eat this ripe
Gruvere.'
COR the story Of the man who COM
planned about his planked shad, wind
ing up:
"T hope you don't think me un-
reasonable, waiter?'
"No. no., SIR the waiter answered.
You're the sixth person what has COM
planned about that portion Of shad.'
ION somewhat higher plane are
the meat stories. Thus strange guest
says:
"'Surely this isn't barber shop AS
we'll as a restaurant? see lot Of
razors lying about
ooh, no, sir says the waiter
Those are for the steak customers
Did you say steak, sir?'"

the house had been ransacked and the
perpetrator had disappeared. The
Rolette county authorities went to a
big expense to employ detectives to
shadow the suspects, and one man was
followed back to Missouri The wife

The late Seidel murder by the Pei
tiers and Little Rising Sun renewed
interest in that murder, as Cooke
lived only a short distance from the
reservation, and now an intelligent
clue is furnished.
Joe Peltier, who was taken to the
penitentiary few days ago, writes
back here that Little Rising Sun killed
Locke. He gave no motive for the
murder, but 1t looked like robbery at
the time. The job was not unlike the
Seidel murder and it is possible that
the Peltiers and the Indian did 1t. The
Rolette county authorities will prob
ably investigate the murder at once.
The Indian was given life SEN
tence in the Seidel case, though the
public felt he ought to have hung. If
he murdered Locke it is hoped here
that he will be retired and get the
limit.
