No Morals In Dreamtand.

It, as many writer's have suggested,
It is the soul itself that guides the i'm
agery Of dreams, how are we to ex-
plain the fact that in this chaos of
ideas and feelings there is so little dis
tinction between right and wrong that
when dreaming we commit acts for
which we should weep tears Of blood
were they as real as they seem to be.
As Professor Hoffman has said, 1.-THE
familiar check of waking hours, I
must not do it because it would be un-
just or unkind,' never once seems to
arrest us in the satisfaction of any
whim which may blow about our way
ward fancies."
From all of which we must conclude
that the dream realm is a world that is
entirely oblivious to any moral sense
and that, though it may be true that a
troubled conscience may produce OF
affect our dreams, the dreams them
selves are V burdened with a con-
scfence.-Bohemian Magazine.

A number of years ago the grand

cents a member a year was levied,
and the fund was intrusted to the
custody of the trustees of the grand

A Doleful Mood.

The proprietor Of a Paris cafe no.
ticed that after he had refused to give
his pianist an increase Of salary the
number Of his customers dwindled
rapidly. 1t was only when all but
one diner had deserted him that be
discovered that the pianist had been
inflicting Chopin's Funeral March
on the audience nightly. The pianist,
who was proceeded against in the law
courts and was fined so francs, pleaded
that he played according to the mood

refused.

wounded Indians in q hole. We were
sure of getting them when wanted. So,
placing a couple Of sentinels where
they could warn stragglers away from
it's front, we. formed line along the
south and west Of the captured village
and got everything ready to resist the
attack we knew they would soon make
in full force.
Half a dozen soldiers got permission
to go over and join in, while the rest
Of us were hungrily hunting about for
something to eat. The next thing we
heard vas a volley from the ravine
and saw the scouts and packers scat
tering for cover. One soldier held his
g~round-shot dead. Another moment
and it became apparent that not n Or
two but a dozen Indians we're crouch
ing somewhere in that narrow gorge,
and the move to get them out assumed
proportions. Lieutenant Clark Of Gen.
eral Crooks staff sprang into the en-
trance, carbine in hand, and a score of
cavalrymen followed, while the scouts
and others went cautiously along either
bank, peering warily into the
like darkness at the head. A squad Of
newspaper correspondents, led by that
reckless Hibernian Finerty Of the Chi
cago Times, came tearing over, pencil
in hand, all eagerness for items, just
as a second vOlley came from the con-
cealed foe, and three more Of their as
sailants dropped bleeding in their
tracks. Now our people We're fairly
aroused, and officers and men by doz-
n hurried to the scene. The misty
air rang with shots, and the chances
looked bad for those redskins. Just at
this moment as I was running over
from the western side. Il caught sight
Of Chips on the opposite crest. All
alone he was cautiously making his
way on hands and knees toward the
head of the ravine, where he could
look down upon the Indians beneath.
AS yet he was protected from their
fire by the bank itself, his lean form
distinctly outlined against the eastern.
sky. He reached a stunted tree that
grew OF the very edge Of the gorge,
and there he halted, brought his rife
close under his shoulder in readiness
to aim and then raised himself slowly
to his feet, lifted his head higher and
higher as he peered over. Suddenly a
quick, eager light shone In his face, a
sharp movement Of his rifle as though
he were about to raise It to the
shoulder, when-bang-a puff Of white
smoke floated up from the head of the
ravine. Chips sprang convulsively in
the air, clasping his hands to his
breast, and with n startled, agoniz-
in cry, oh, my God, boys-goodby.
Bin! plunged heavily forward on his
face down the slope, shot through the
heart.
1.-TWO minutes more what Indians
were left alive were prisoners and that
costly experience was at an end.

posts, one on the Tongue river and on
on the Yellowstone lear where Is now
the city of Glendive. As soon as these
were completed, instead of waiting fol
spring and summer, he Immediately
planned to keep up activity against the
red foe.
The Indians greatly annoyed his sup
ply trains. and on one occasion the
train had to return on account Of the
strength of the Indians. This reused
the generals ire, and instead Of the
demoralized teamsters he equipped it
with soldiers as such and fighting men
to accompany them. Sitting Bull him
self notified Colonel Otis that be must
not travel that way. and Miles got aft
er old Bull and overlook him at Cedar
creek. The willy chief sent a flag Of
truce, as he wished to pass the winter
comfortably and wanted permission
to hunt and trade on condition that he
did no attack the soldiers. But Miles
would not temporize. He sent word
that there was only one peace, and that
was by submission During this flag
OF truce they tried to trap him in the
way in which General Candy lost his
life in the Modoc conference in '73, but
Miles '%coppered" the game and told
Sitting Bull: IN take no advantage of
you under a flag Of truce. You have
fifteen minutes to get back to your peo-
pie and fifteen minutes more to accept
my terms or III commence fighting.
Either you or l have got to be BOSS

Although the country swarmed with
Indians and no reply had come, Miles
attacked them with such vigor that
they left many of their dead on the
field, which they eve liked to do, and
continued a hot pursuit for over forty
miles, compelling them to abandon
food, lodge poles. camp equipage and
ponies. Eventually 400 lodges and
1000 Indians surrendered and were
sent to their agencies.
Sitting Bull and his hostile cronies
left the main body and escaped north
ward, where they were joined by Gall
and some other chiefs. This bitter ex-
p%erience was an establishment to Sit
ting Bull and the Sioux, so that it left
that section free from their Immediate
depredations. After a return to the
Tongue river post and a short rest the
determined commander made up an
expedition to follow Sitting Bulls
trail northward, although it was oblit-

1t so happens that TIE crisis of
tariff reform has been reached in tie
United States at time when closely
related issues are occupying the fore
ground of public interest and, in
some instances, of legislative discus
sion, in not fewer than half dozen
of the principal nations Of three con-
tinents. The coincidence may be for
tunate otherwise, but it is at least
nc accident. 1t offers simply one
further illustration of the essential
solidarity of the twentieth century
economic world, and its bearings upon
our own immediate tariff problems
are obvious. In the first place the
pressure for revision which is respon-
sible for the present special session
at Washington arose in no small de-
gree out of tariff difficulties with
Germany, France, Great Britain, and
European nations generally, encOunt-
cred by the Government in recent
years in behalf of American manu-
featuring interests, and out of the
conviction of the manufacturers them
selves that readjustment is neces-
sary to overcome or evade the restric-
tions imposed abroad on the importa-
tion of American goods. In the second
place, sweeping changes in tariff
policy, pending or in more remote
prospect, on the part of the European
powers will profoundly affect tbs
practical workings of whatever
schedules shall eventually be adopted
in the special session. If, for ex
ample there is really setting in, al
there seems good reason for believ
ing, worldwide revival of protec
tiOnism, the conditions under which
American foreign trade will have t,
be carried on during the ensuing de
cade may very well be such as effec
tually to undermine any or all of tn
triumphs in behalf of low tariff to b
realized during the next few week
at Washington. From Europe
