A SHORT SPEECH.
Made by an Indian Chief In Reply TO
a Government AGENT,

Old Shah bah-Skong, the head chief
of Mile Lac, brought all his warriors
to defend Fort Ripley in 1862. The
secretary of the interior and the gov
ernor and legislature of Minnesota
promised these Indians that for this
act of bravery they should have the
special care OF the government and
never be removed.
A few years later a special agent
was sent from Washington to ask the
Ojibways to cede their lands and re-
move to country north of Leech
lake The agent asked my help.
said
Il know that country. | have camp
ed on it. 1t is the most worthless strip
of land in Minnesota. The Indians are
not fools Don't attempt this folly.
You will surely come to grief"
He called the Indians in council and
said:
"My red brothers, your great father
has heard how you have been wrong
ed. He said, 4 will send them an hon.
est man. He looked in the north, the
south, the east and the west. When
be saw me. he said This is the hon
est man whom | will send to my red
children Brothers, look at mel The
winds of ifty-fve years have blown
over my head and silvered it with
gray, and in all that time have never
done wrong to any man. AS your
friend ask you to sign this treaty.
Old Shah bah Skong sprang to his
feet and said;
"My friend. look at me! The winds
of more than fifty winters have blown
over my head and slvered 1t with
gray but they have not blown ly
brains away"
That council was ended.

SYMPTOMS OF RABIES.
Signs by Which You May Know When
Dog Is Really Mad.

IVY 10 thNShJ
Hydrophobia is so rare and terrifying
that its symptoms and treatment are
little understood. AS a matter Of fact,
the commonly accepted expression of
madness in dog is often misleading.
The real mad dog does not shun wa
ter as it is said. On the contrary,
mad dogs often rush to the water and
drink it eagerly, If they are able to
swallow. The mad dog does not froth
at the mouth. 1t does not run amuck,
swapping at everything in its path.
What, then, are the indications Of the
mad dog? To those familiar with a
given dog the surest symptom and the
one which should excite closest atten-
ton is a distinct and unaccOuntable
change in the dogs disposition staid
dog becoming excitable and risky
one dull. That condition does not nee
essarily mean rabies, but 1t Is sus-
picious, and If In addition the dog has
trouble in swallowing, as though it
seemed to have a bone in its throat,
beware, That dog should be instantly
tied up, because if it be rabies 1t takes
but a day or two for ferocious in
stincts to develop The unmistakable
evidence. however. Of a dog with
rabies is the sticky, whitish saliva
which covers the teeth and shows on
the drawn lips. The eyes glare and
are red; the dog has paroxysms Of run
ming fury, during which it barks
hoarsely. which alternate with periods
of temporary exhaustion. - Caspar
Whitney In Outing.

Taste in Small Things.

1t is not necessary to do big" things
in entertaining to create a favorable
impression upon your guests. 1t is in
the cleverness, the good Judgment shown
in preparing the menu. You will note
that at any really delightful affair you
attend, no matter how large or how
small it be, the hostess will invariably
serve Nabisco Sugar Wafers-the acme OF
daintiness. One is never at loss what
to offer guests for refreshment, dessert or
after dessert if Nabisco Sugar Waters are
always kept in the home.

THEY WENT 70 CHURCH.

nonattendance at service on Sundays
of the majority of the young men of

that instead OF going to church they

expert marble player in his boyhood.

portraits Of royal personages slowly,

opening its plated petals from genera

Of Henry VII. it was scarcely more
than a budding excrescence, but with
Henry VIII. 1t had outgrown its tuck
stage to the extent of reaching up to
the ears and was beginning to sport a
mild fare. Those were the days of

able to show an income of over 200

the ruff without encouraging It to any
greater development. But Queen Eliza
