LIKED THE FRYING PANS.
Indians Found an Exciting Use For tn,
COOKING Utensils,


Cooking Utensils.
The Indian. however averse he may
be to any kind of useful labor. is not
slow to avail himself of new source
Of amusement. This was shown some
years ago when among the supplies
sent by the government to a certain
agency in the west we're several hun
dred large frying pans with long han
dies.
These the Indian agent found In
stock when he took possession, and at
the end of the year the number had
not been diminished. Thinking that
perhaps he had not discharged his
whole duty in the matter of supplying
Uncle Sans wards with these culinary
utensils. the agent began making spe-
cial efforts to induce the red men to
use them.
At first 1t was hard work, but by the
time he had given out about two dozen
there came sudden change. Not a
day passed In which the agent did not
have applications for at least a dozen,
and some days he disposed of twice
that number.
When the supply was nearly ex-
hausted he noticed among the appli-
cants some to whom he had previous
ly given pans. and naturally enough he
became trlfe curious to know what
use they were making of them. He
questioned several of the men to no
purpose, but at length young buck
more communicative than the rest gave
him to understand that II he would
visit a certain part of the reservation
not far away he would find his In
quiry answered.
The next day, therefore. the agent
rode out In the direction indicated.
About two miles from the agency he
noticed on the crest of narrow spur
Of the mountain three or four Indians
who suddenly disappeared on the op-
posite side of the ridge. At the same
time he heard family the cry of many
voices.
On turning the point Of the ridge he
saw a crowd Of several hundred In
dians who were shouting as Il greatly
excited. He noticed also several OBJ
jects. which he at first supposed to be
powders. descending the side Of the
mountain toward them with tremen-
dous rapidity.
Instead Of fleeing from these moving
objects the Indians simply applauded
and shouted. Soon he saw other OBJ
jects like the first descending, and In a
short time the whole situation was
plain to him.
Having selected long. smooth slope
Of the mountain where there were no
stones. the Indians had converted II
into a sort Of earthen toboggan slide
and were utilizing the frying pans az
tobOegans. Seating themselves In the

Handicapped the Crow.

"You know, of course" said the man
In the macintosh, that you can teach
a crow to talk"
Silence gave negation to this propo,
sition.
"It's so, anyhow" he persisted. "But
If you slit his tongue straight down
the middle, lengthwise, he can talk a
good deal better. Why, I've seen that
thing tested. A neighbor of mine, a
college professor, had a crow that
could speak several words. He had his
tongue slit, and when the tongue got
well the bird could say almost any,

She Made Home Happy,

"She made homo happy"-these few words
/ read
Within a churchyard. written on n stone
No name. no date; the simple words alone
Told me the story OF the unknown dead.
A marble column lifted high it's head
Close by, inscribed to one the world has
known;
But, alas, that lonely grave with moss
o'ergrown
Thrilled me far more than his who armies
led!
"She made home happy" Through the
long, sad years
The mother toiled and never stopped to
rest
Until they crossed her hands upon her
breast
And closed her eyes, no longer dim with
tears.
The simple record that she left behind
Was grander than the soldiers to my
mind.
