A GOOD INDIAN.

Not long ago there died on the Sho-
shone Indian Reservation In Wyoming
Chief Washable of the Shoshone tribe.
This old chief, says a writer In the
Sunday Associated Magazines, never
wronged the whites or any Of his own
people Yet all the Indians feared him.
Single handed, Washable could pilot
any number Of whites through any hos
tile country. He it was who piloted
General Fremont across the country
when he went TO make a way for the
advance of civilization beyond the
Rockies.
Washable was a wonderful man In
many ways. He never broke his word
Once when one of his sons led q band
Of restless young warriors away from
the reservation to pillage among the
whites, Washable sent runner TO say
that if the warriors were not back on
the reservation by sunrise the next
morning, they should never return
They did not heed the warning. and
the old chief personally led some of his
best fighters against his son. True to
the word of Washable, no:ie of the
band ever returned. All were slain.
Always stern, and vowing all his life
that he would never break his word,
Washable kept his promise in this case
as he did In every other.
For his long, valuable services TO the
whites in the troublous days Of the
early frontier, President Grant once
sent beautiful black pony, fine sad
die and silver mounted bride 10y spe-
cial messenger to the chief.
When the messenger arrived at the
agency building, the sun had just set
Washable was standing at window,
looking on the gold and purple which
flooded the snow-caps of the mountains
with color.
Post-Trader Moore soon found the
Indian, and told him to look at the
pony, with Its fine saddle and bride.
The pony stood just beneath, where II
could be seen to good advantage.
wen, w uSidhlc, stiiu t.oOiC, NHdt
have you to say to the White Father
for sending you such beautiful pres
ent?"
Washable did not speak.
The post-trader repeated the Ques-
tio1; but instead of replying, the old
chief began TO drum with the finger
of both hands on the window panes.
Thus he stood for some moments.
Moore finally walked 70 where he could
see the Indians face, and was surprised
to see that Washable was weeping
Great tears were rolling over his
Scared cheeks, and occasionally the
great, fearless warrior sobbed, some
thing that 10 torture could have made
Kim do.
In due course, Washable turned
about and said slowly, Tell the White
Father for me that when the French
man gives thanks he has plenty tongue,
but no heart; when Washable gives
thanks, he has plenty heart, but no
tongue" A message, it may be added
that none could understand better than
the silent great man to whom 1t was
sent
Good old Chief Washable fought In
one hundred and fifty battles in
aid Of the whites.

For Young Mothers.

A soft sponge should be used for
bathing the baby's body, limbs and
scalp. There should be separate
washing cloth for the face. When used
frequently sponges become dirty and
are liable to cause infection of the
eyes. For this reason they should not
be used for washing the face. A new
sponge should be purchased whenever
the old one does not become wholly
clean when washed in boiling water
