To look at Sitting Bull one would say
that he was always quiet and self con-
tained. In fact, he did usually keep
himself under control, but he was cruel
and almost heartless. He had prac-
ticed cruelty to animals and men from
his childhood and as long as he lived;
he was full of passion and often very
angry. He was always imperious and
insolent toward our generals, the In
dian agent and other friends of the
great father at Washington, whom he
claimed to hate. He had great talent
and ability to plan campaigns and bat
ties and wonderful influence in bring
ing Indians together. Notwithstand-
ing all this, he was afraid of death,
and, though he planned the greatest
victory which the Indians ever gained
over white men, Sitting Bull himself
was a coward and disgraced himself
even before his own people by running
away in the very face of success

The Great Salt lake is gradually dry
Ing up, and the inhabitants of Salt
Lake City seem quite surprised. They
ought not. to be. All salt lakes owe
their salinity to the fact of their hav-
ing no outlet, and lake without an
outlet is a dying lake.
Nor is death usually long delayed,
speaking geologically. Lakes Koko
Nor and Lob Nor were undoubtedly
extensive inland seas not so very many
decades ago, yet Sven Hedin found
them reduced to mere acrid puddles
set in the midst of well nigh limitless
salt deserts that onceNere their beds.
The terrible Taklamakan desert, too,
in which Hedin nearly died of thirst,
was once the bed Of just such lake.
So also were the salt deserts of Persia.
Northern Tibet is studded with salt
lakes in process of desiccation. The
Aral and the Caspian seas were at one
time far more extensive than is now
the case, proving that they, too, are un-
dergoing the inevitable process of des-
location to which all such bodies of
water are sooner or later invariably
subjected.-St Paul Pioneer Press.
