Whittier and I'm. Admlrera.

Few poets had more admirers
among women than Whittier Ind,
and this admiration frequently took
personal form Ono day his sister,
in her slow Quaker fashion, was dc
scribing these cruptions. "1'hcc
hast no idca," sho said, "of the time
Grecnlcaf spends in trying TO lose
these people on the streets. Some
times he comes home and says,
We'll, sister, / had hard work 70
lose him, but / have lost him (" To
this Whittier pathctically added,
"Rut / can never lose a her"

SHE FOUGHT IN THE NAVY.
Louise eaksr served as . Marine on
the Old Constitution.

AT least one woman has served in
The United States navy But nc
cordlng to Edgar Stanton Maclay,
writing IN the Blucjackct, sho has
the roll to herself. Her roal name
was Louise Baker, and, having en-
listed as u marine, she served
throughout the war OF 1873 on the
famous frigate Constitution.
"For nearly three years." sho
says, al passed for and performed
the duties of a marine, during
which time was in three severe
engagements and never abscntcd
myself from my post in tilne of dam
ger. have, like others Of the

my shipmates both at sea and on

may appear, have not the most

borah Sampson (who, disguised as
man, served in the Continental
army during the Revolution with
out her identity being discoycrcd),
and by strict adherence to the pre-
cautionary means by which she
was enabled to avoid an exposure OF
her sex also was enabled TO con

Tho Constitution engaged in
three Of the more important single
ship actions Of the nineteenth CEN
fury, that with the Guerrero, the
Java and the double action with tho
Cyanc and Lcvant.
Speaking Of the action with tho
Guerrero Miss Baker says: II was
all this time in the top plying my
faithful muskct with the best sue
cess whenever the smoke would per-
nit me to see blncjacket Of the
enemy. In the heat of the action a
grapeshot struck and splintered the
butt Of my nuskct. It was noticed
by ono Of my comrades who stood
within few feet Of me, who, pat
ting me on the shoulder, exclaimed:

Mr.. Henry Nieuwendorp and Mrs.
b. q. Noomen were married at Hull
last Thursday evening. a. about
$50 o clock. at the home of the
Rev. Huisingh. They at once drove
to the brides home, mile and
half east of Hull. They had hardly
arrived there when the combined
bands of Hull cher honey and of
Westtield lhis honey were also on
the spot, supplied with instruments
of torture such as are used Ia make
music" on such occasions. Henry
let them play only a short time.
Perhaps they We're too much in dis
harmony, and perhaps Henry hasn't
an ear for music. Any way, he
promptly came out and paid them
off, and the boys departed i'm good

Last Wednesday an old man
named Schrankel, seventy three
years old, drove a livery team for
Peter Holm, the Hague liveryman,
to Herreid. While i'm the wet South
Dakota town he got more than was
good for him; so, two men loaded
him into his rig and started the
team for home. When they had
gone a short distance he undoubted-
~ dropped the lines, for all at once
the team started to run. The old
man was thrown out i'm such man
ner that he was almost scalped.
One ear was torn away and one arm
was paralyzed. He was unconscious

to Herreid, where DIR. Richey dressed
the wounds and sewed the scalp to-
gether. AT first small hope was en-
tertained for his recovery; but at
last reports he was still alive. He
was taken to his home in Hague.

a short distance when the hounds of

and turned over. Mr.. H. had only
the box and the front gear left, and
the team was going much faster

of the road and then to the other.
However. Mr.. II. managed to keep
them out of the fences that were on
each side of the road. After go

Strange to say, very little damage

Bananas.

bananas give most people indi-
gestion," said a food specialist.
"That is because they don't know
how to eat them, though. The aver
age person selects a solid banana
without a feck on its blond skin,
he consumes the white, hard flesh
of the fruit, and for seven or eight
hours afterward he keeps tasting
banana-he has indigestion-and
the next day, ten to one, he rises
with a headache. But the native
considers such blond bananas green.
The native eats a banana whose
skin is quite brown and whose white
flesh has turned to a brownish pulp
of the consistency of stewed fruit.
The native, in fact, must eat his
banana with a spoon; it is so far
gone as that. l eat brown, pulpy
fellow myself, and these, l assure
you, always agree with the most del
icate stomach"

INDIAN STRATEGY.
. Pieean's Trick That Fooled a Band
of Crees,

A member Of the Canadian
saounted police tells a good story OF
the cleverness Of an Indian. One
snowy morning a band Of Crees
awoke to find that about d dozen OF
their ponies had been stolen during
the night. Pursuit was Immediately
organized, and in the course of an
hour the trail was struck. The band
followed it for thirty miles or more
till it entered d river and headed
for a little wooded island.
Smoke was rising from the trees
and an opening, apparently the
mouth Of Il cave, was in plain view.
Presently a Picgan Indian showed
himself in front Of the opening.
He was in war paint, and at his
heels was a dog.
Pretty soon the dog scented the
Crees, who were lying low, and be-
gan growing and barking. The Pie
gan looked up, glanced about him
a moment and then instantly en-
tered the cave. In about ten sec
onds another Piegan came round
the rocks and went in, then anOth-
er. and another, and another. The
Crees lay silently in the bushes,
counting, till upward Of fifty Pie
gans had come round the rocks and
gone into the cave, and still they
kept coming. Each carried a rifle.
When at last seventy men had dis
appeared in the cave the supcrstl-
tious and cautious Crces concluded
that the evil spirit had something
to do with it. SO thoroughly were
they filled with this idea that
even when re-enforcements arrived,
which was in a few hours, they were
reluctant to attack the island.
That night, however, one Cree,
less credulouS than the others,
crossed V e the ice to investigate.
On approaching the supposed cave
he found that it was no cav at all,
but simply an opening leading some
ten feet into the rock, where it
made a turn and came out on the
other side.
There was the remnant of a sim
gle campfire. The ponies yer gone,
and not an Indian was in sight. The
clever Piegan thief by making the
circuit of the passage and the end
of the island seventy times had so
deceived his pursuers as to gain the
time necessary for his escape.-Ex-
