AUTOGRAPH OF
 SITTING BULL

From Army and Navy Life.
 The start was sufficiently early for us to see Sitting Bull, as our guests had re- quested; and when the ambulance stopped before a shack not at all of promising appearance, the strangers were sitting with expectant faces In answer to our call from the wagon door was opened by squaw, to whom I told our errand. She silently re-entered to carry our mes- sage. and did not again appear while we waited.
 The chiefs appearance as he emerged from the hut was sufficient to gratify wish for dramatic effect As the big man, erect and dignified, keen eyed, of inscru- tible face, stood silently for a second on his doorstep, he personiffed medieval America in all it's savage strength of frame and splendor of adornment. He was dressed for the dance, though his role was that of dignified host and onlooker rather than participant in the festiyity itself. His beaded belt and moccasins were elaborate in color and design. His blanket was new and of very gorgeous color scheme His feathered headdress, rising as it did above his painted face. gave the man an added aspect of force and power. The picture. however momen- tary, of Sitting Bull framed in his door way must nave made an impression on those seeing him for the first time.
 When he came to the side of the ambu- lance I told him these four friends would like him to write his name for them. Some one during his later life had taught him to form the letters of his name. and since he had sprung into historic promi- hence he had frequently sold his auto graphs for a dollar apiece. l think the fact of his being able to supply the flat tering demand was as much a part of his pleasure as was the. acceptance Of the money in payment. We had brought pa per along with us for the purpose, and one of the gentlemen loaned his pencil. It was incongruous to see the big. gayly decked savage bending over the slips Of paper and. with cramped fingers and un- accustomed schoolboy motions, tracing tho English letters of his name.
 When he had finished the number re-

Ghost in the Picture.

Altoona tPenn) cor. New York Times.
 Mrs. David Furry. who with her hus- band lives on a farm near Roaring Spring, Is in a state of nervous prostra- tion over a remarkable photograph she had taken yesterday. All her friends and neighbors are excited over 1t, too, for they firmly believe that one of the figures in the photograph is that of ghost.
 An amateur photographer took Mrs. Furry's picture while she stood outside the front fence at her home. He made the photograph and sent it to her. When she opened it she was amazed to find two figures on the picture. Hers stood out boldly but dimly outlined was the figure of a man, that of the late Michael Croft showing his peculiar dress and hat and his whiskers.
 Croft has been dead for six years. Mrs Furry firmly believes his ghost was caught by the camera while her picture was being taken and that this is an omen of her approaching death

VACANT LAND IN MINNESOTA.
Good Farms Available for Homeseek-
 CTS Close to Worlds Markets.

From the Minneapolis Journal.
 Something over 100000 persons recently journeyed to western South Dacota to take a chance in the great government land lottery. As there were at the out side but 5000 available quarter sections in the Tripp reservation, it is evident that each mans chance of winning home stead was about one in eighteen. Why did these hundred thousand land-hungry citizens spend their money so freely on such a Hong shot?" Why did they not rather come to Minnesota, where there are 1,750000 acres of fine, fertile land subject to homestead entry, and some

From Army and Navy Life.
 In the township of Mendon in the south ern part of Massach usetts, there was in TITO a young man whose skill with fire arms was widely celebrated. He lived alone in a one-room house made of logs, some distance from any neighbor, in pleasant clearing upon the bank of Mill creek.
 The surrounding forest contained all abundance of game, which he shot for both food and sport. ELis real living, how ever. was gained at the frequent shooting matches held throughout the length and breadth of the state. And very hon orable living it was then considered, for, with the terrors of the French and Indian war in mind, the men, and the women, too. of that time held skill with weapons in high esteem.
 These shooting matches rarely offered prizes in money. Usually the victor won beef, pork, lamb, poultry or live stock. Sometimes, however, household goods were the prize, and sometimes other mer- chandise. But, whatever the prize was, it could easily be turned inoo money; so that John Metealf had an abundant larder, d well-furnished cabin, and supply of cash amply sufficient for himself.
 At the matches held in Mendon and the adjoining townships John Metcalf's closest competitor was a man somewhat older than himself who rivaled him also in su- ing for the heart and hand of the fair
 NAf.,.f f1.1.- ,I-- rich man. Neither Metcalf nor Chalfin was able to get decided answer to his suit. The fact was, Mary found each man had pleasingequalities not possessed by the other and both were equally ar- dent lovers and equally desirable as hus- bands.
 As time went by Chalfin's ability as an expert shot increased, thereby reducing
