miles of distance, footsore and ~foodless, during the night,
was looking in an unusually robust and well-fed con-
dition that frosty January morning IS years ago.
1t would be something of a joy to know just what
old Red Cloud had said to the Brule and Ogalala bucks
beyond the White Clay creek. The old fellow was an
orator, and when there were no white men listening
he knew the way to the seat of the savage passions.
Is the Indian lacking in a sense of humor? Old Red
Cloud used to get more genuine enjoyment out of tell
ing his unsophisticated paleface listeners the story of
how he talked peace in the hostile camp than Kicking
Bear ever did in running off a settlers stock-and this
means much.
There probably never will be seen again on this con-
tinent such a scene of savage splendor as that which
marked the final surrender of the Indian bands of Short
Bull, Kicking Bear, Spotted Elk, and the rest. The sur
render took place at Pine Ridge in late January, 1891,
and for hours the savages came in over the ridges
guarding until the last their women and children from a
seemingly expected assault. They were painted the
daubed with vivid pigment. 1t was the close of what
uprisings. 1t was the passing of the war glory of a great
race of savage men.
When that warfare on the plains of South Dakota
was brought to an end there was still hatred enough in
the breasts Of several of the chieftains to make another
outbreak possible. Kicking Bear and Short Bull, Sioux
chieftains of proved valor and of known hatred for the
whites, were brought east under guard to Fort Sheridan,
Illinois, where they were kept prisoners until it was
believed that their war lust had died. Finally they were
sent back to the reservation and there to-day, while
keeping strictly to the path of peace, it is only in the
nature of things human to believe that after a century
of dishonor at the hands of the whites their hearts are
still for war, though their hands and their bodies are
incapable.

Water the Worlds Banker

The ancients called water one Of the four elements,
and the work which it does in the earth's crust amply JUS
titles the name. 1t is the worlds banker, for it is by its
agency that the ores are accumulated in veins, and in a
sense it is a repairing architect. Water is the magic in
strument by which copper and gold and silver are assem-
bled; it is the true philosophers stone; constantly at
work, dissolving, transporting and redepositing. With in
defatigable zeal and never tagging industry 1t searches
through the innermost recesses of the rocks, removing
treasures through their very walls, and often repairing
breaches made in the attack 30 skillfuly as to defy de-
lection or to make the masonry stronger than when first
laid.
In an article by H. w. Winchell in Popular Sci
ence Monthly the method of the action Of water and the
influence of climate, sun, rain, average temperature and
topography on the formation of underground veins of
ore are suggested in an interesting way and throw some
light on the future tendencies Of mining science. We
may, perhaps, imagine the water as laying down veins Of
ore by means of a perpetual circulation.
1t arrives at last at a state in which we may imagine
it capable of dissolving anything. Finding no escape
downward and urged on by cooler and heavier waters
coming down. these saturated solutions begin to move
laterally and upward; and as they find their way back to
the surface again they have to drop deposits of metal
which they hold in solution. Such waters may finally
emerge as hot springs or geysers, finding their way
through earth fractures, and these fractures, coated with
metal by the metal carrier, become the veins and lodes Of
future ages.
Taking this theory for granted, it is evident that
many such considerations will govern the laying down Of
ores. Countries in which the rain descends through soft
rocks will be more likely to entertain mineral veins than
those in which the surface is arid or the rocks are hard,
Then there will be few "bonanzas' in Siberia or Russia
or Switzerland; and the countries of mild climate and soft
surface rocks will be most productive. A local difference
may exist on either side of the mountains; the best ore
shoots are on the sunny side; the cold northern shaded
sides produce few veins.

Capt, Penny stayed at Pine Ridge a long time, and
the Indians bore testimony to the fact that the ration
bags showed no signs of having leaked any Of their con
tents before they were delivered at the doors of the
Sioux tepees.
There is a firm paleface conviction that the red man
has no sense of humor. 1t were better, perhaps, to
qualify the statement by making it a trife less sweeping
1t is the paleface at a distance who thinks that the In
dian has no funny bone-the frontiersman knows other
wise.
There is old Red Cloud, the Sioux chieftain, now with
in a short journey of the joys which the happy hunting
ground holds for him, who probably never laughed aloud
in his life, but who, behind his mask of stolidity, hides
as keen an appreciation of "the fun of the thing as can
be found in the composition of any one of his white
conquerors.
Nearly 40 years ago Red Cloud, in the prime Of his
fighting days, led, with other chiefs, an attack on the
whites near Fort Fetterman. Red Cloud had the better
of his foes on that day. Afterward, when the paleface
soldiers with blue coats proved too many for him, Red
Cloud had a change Of heart.
He said that he had plucked out hatred. That was
one Of Red Clouds best jokes, and when The whites
could not see his face because it was turned away from
the council fire, the old chief smiled and his eye twinkled
with the Joy of it.
A quarter Of a century divided the fight at Fort Fet-
terman from that at Wounded Knee. Red Cloud was at
the Pine Ridge agency when the news of the battle be-

Then Red Cloud wanted to follow the example u 'e
young chief. No one knows definitely whetner neu oou
was sent out by the general commanding OF went On
his peace talking errand of his own initiative Out ne
went.
The hostiles were north of White Clay creek ana west
Of Porcupine Butte. Red Cloud reached their camp ana
he talked at the council fire. Then there happened a
curious thing. On the heel of the chiefs a pack band OF
the young bucks broke away and began to, raid. Ihere
was a fight with a squadron of the Seventh cavalry near
the Roman Catholic mission school, and an army wagon
train was attacked at a place not far distant from the
agency.
Red Cloud came back to the agency. Even his native
command of himself could not give control to the twinkle
that was in his ancienteye. But what a taleit was that he
told; The Indians with bad hearts had rejected his
pleas for peace and surrender, and had driven him, their
old chief, with curses and with blows from their camp.
He had plodded the trail from the camp to the agency,
footsore and foodless, and in this day of his falling sight
he would have been lost had not his granddaughter Star
Eyes-or some such name, for here memory is at fault
led him all the way by the hand.
1t was with as near a sob in his voice as an Indian
ever gets that old Red Cloud told his story. Way down

ism still lays hold on the heart of the STONY,
The tragedy of the fight at Wounded Knoo uhora pic
Foots warriors, the women and the children all save
a few, were slain, was not the fault of the soldiers. The
men of the Seventh cavalry lost scores of their com.
rades, killed and wounded. They were but doing the
duty enforced upon them by years of civil service theft
and misrule. The Indian, strangely enough. perhaps
to those who do not know, ever has looked upon the
soldier as his best friend.
When the war Of the Dakota reservations was ended
the chiefs of the Ogalala and Brule Sioux, Kicking Bear,
Short Bull, American Horse and the rest, asked that
army officers might be appointed as Indian agents in
the place of the civilians who held those offices for
years. American Horse, when asked why he wanted a
soldier agent, took two paper bags and filed one and half
filled the other. The full one, he said, was the soldier
agents bag and the half full one was the civilian agents
bag.
This was the heather American Horses method of
describing the Indians rations as they came from the
hand Of agents with different ideas Of honesty.
Captain, now brigadiergeneral Charles G. Penny (re-
tired, was the first soldier agent appointed at Pine
Ridge. Capt. Penny was in command of Company X,
Sixth United States infantry, at Fort Sheridan, a com
