John Barrett was only twenty-seven
years old when President Cleveland
appointed him minister to Siam. The
first important task which confronted
the youthful envoy was to press a
claim against the Siamese government
for $1,000,000. Experienced amhassa-
doris warned him against using threats
in obtaining the money. BE cunning;
avoid arrogance" they said.
'That is" responded Mr.. Barrett,
you favor tickling with a straw to
pricking with a bayonet."
The statesmen nodded assent.
When the young minister had finally
succeeded in collecting the claim the
ambassadors asked in establishment,
How did you accomplish it?"
"By tickling" explained Barrett. Il
had to tickle them almost to death,
though, before they agreed to pay it."

INDIANS PRIDE.


Native Reserve and Conservatism
Keep Them Apart From Whites.
Even among the Five Civilized Tribes
there still remain many communities
wholly full blood. These people drift
together, following their own ideas of
life, speaking their own language and
retiring before the whites with the
| same strange reserve and pride that
characterized them in their wild state.
Although claiming the name of sew,
eral Christian denominations and fol
lowing certain beliefs with devout,
ness, their ways of thinking. their dis
like of innovation and their aversion
to work have made them withdraw
to the mountain districts. Whether
this so called reserve comes from pride
or a distrust of the white man or Il.
Nudity or merely a stubborn conserva'
| tism, 1t produces the same result, the
backward and n~onprogressive Indian.
There is, too, a certain mystic quality
that holds the Indian alo0f, says the
| Southern Workman-a quality that we
do not understand and with which
| there is little sympathy in u every
day life. He is so much Of a philos'
| opher that he looks upon our strenn-
! Gus life with some contempt, dismiss
ing our efforts for personal comfort
and material advancement with the
remark that "the white man is heap
| trouble to himself" While people cal
him lazy because he does not care to
exert himself for those things which
seem important to whites, yet to
| some religious ceremonial or some ar
tistic expression his application is per
sistent, and the patience of an In
dian" has passed into d proyerb.
