CRAZY HORSE

Through a village of the Ogalalla
Sioux dashed pony. crazed by fright
A baby boy had just been born in the
village, and the appearance Of the
maddened pony was taken by the in
fants parents as an omen. So the
new born child was named "Crazy
Horse"
(Among various Indian tribes it has
always been the custom to give each
child the name of the first object on
which it's mothers eyes happen to fall
after the baby's birth. This accounts
for such odd Indian titles as Cray
Horse" poor Dog" white Steer"
Gold Dollar" Ridge Pole" Boiling
Kettle" etc.,
Crazy Horse from the first hated
civilization and was the sworn enemy
Of the government He stirred up
the southern Sioux to keep on leading
their old-time wild life and to refuse
to settle on any reservation. In con-
sequence he speedily found himself

The Sioux Revolution.
In 1875 many tribes Of the Sioux
and Of some allied nations" went on
the warpath. Their Black Hills lands
were stolen from them by the white
men. Government agents had NAL
treated and cheated them. Altogether
they deemed it better to plumber at
will and. If need be. to die fighting
rather than to starve or be cheated
on reservations.
Up to this time Crazy Horse had
confined his warlike efforts for the
most part to conflicts with Grow, Man
dan and other tribes hostile to the
Sioux. and to raids on poorly defend
cd white settlements. In such ex-
PLOTS he had won fame and had
learned generalship. Now he became
one Of the principal war chiefs of the
whole uprising, scarce second in i'm
portance to Sitting Bull himself
During blizzard in the winter Of
1875 General Reynolds. at the head
of force Of regulars, made a sudden
attack on Crazy Horses camp. The
general sought to cripple the Indians
there by capturing all their ponies.

His Indian name-or the best
known of his several Indian names
was NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. It
means big bird that is black" and is
usually translated BLACK Hawk" He
had the figure of a Greek god and
head and face closely resembling Sir
Walter Scott's
Black Hawk began life in the Sac
and Fox Nation. near Rock River, In
Illinois. By the time he was fifteen
he had gone through the torture and
weird ceremonials emitting him to
call himself a brave" Next year, In
1888, the sixteen-year-ol1 lad went at
the head of a small war party against
100 Usage Indians and won his first
victory. At nineteen he led 200 Sacs
and Foxes against 200 Osages. Fully
100 of the Osages were slain, and
Black Hawk with his own hand killed
six Of his foes. II
A Refusal to Yield.
In the War of 1912 Black Hawk was
persuaded by Tecumseh to join the
British ranks as a brigadier general.
With 500 native followers he did val.
liant deeds against the United States.
and incidentally learned much about
civilized warfare. Keokuk, head
chief OF the tribe, was-or pretended
to be-a friend Of the government.
Black Hawk hated Keokuk and start
ed a strong opposition faction, with
himself at it's head. A treaty had
been made whereby for yearly pay
ment of $1,000 the Sacs and Foxes
were to turn over to the white men a
700-mile tract Of land east of the
Mississippi river. Accordingly Keo-
kuk and his followers moved west
across the Mississippi. Black Hawk
refused to go.
Bloodshed followed. Governor Rey-
nolds of Illinois called out the militia.
A brief campaign was followed by a
new treaty, which Black Hawk signed.
In accordance with this agreement he
moved his braves and squaws across
the Mississippi. But he only stayed
there long enough to perfect his plan
for great Indian confederacy against
the white men. Then, assured that
many tribes would flock to his stand
ard, be recrossed to the rivers east

the warriors from other tribes whose
aid he had relied on actually joined

rode to safety

WESTERN CANADA AFFORDS ALL
THE COMFORTS AND MANY OF
THE LUXURIES.

A young lady of Wisconsin secured
certificate at the Milwaukee office
of the Canadian Government, and on
presenting this to the ticket agent OF
the railway at the Canadian boundary
line she secured a ticket at a reduced
rate which carried her to Edmonton,
Alberta, from which point, about for
ty miles, she had friends. This was q
couple or years ago, and the young
lady is now married to one OF the
promising young farmers of tho dis
trict.
In writing OF her trip to the Mil
Waukee representatives of the Cana
dian Government she says: Il enjoyed
my trip up here very much, and ex-
pect to go out to our homestead in
the Pembina district next spring." To
the housewife the information that
she has put up twelve quarts OF rasp-
berries" is important, as they picked
them themselves" and they might
have picked ten times the quantity II
they had required them, for there is
no country where wild fruit grows in
such abundance. The letter goes on
to say, and this Is interesting from a
woman's standpoint, 1.-The country Is
very beautiful" Speaking OF the
friends with whom she went up to
tive, she says: "They certainly have
a beautiful farm and house"-they
had been there about four years, also
going from Wisconsin-"they have
about twenty acres Of oats and bar
ley, five acres alfalfa, three acres po-
tatoes and don't know how many OF
vegetables. I think they have about
forty acres under cultivation altogeth-
er. They are now draining slough
which they will afterwards plow and
put into fall wheat. They also have
a large herd of cattle, and Mrs. e.
has about 100 chickens. They make
Oh an average of 80 pounds of butter
every week. I never saw such grand
cream"
Now these people are enjoying life
in Alberta; they have splendid cli-
mate, excellent prospects, and are
happy that they are part and parcel
In the working out of the upbuilding
of a new country, that will take its
place amongst the progressive coun-
tries of the century. Numbers OF let

fuel is gas. The figures to follow are
given for gas, but are easy of trans
lation into coal heat or even oil.
The oven of a gas range turned on
full. burns twenty feet of gas IN
hour for each fame-bar. Commonly
there are two bars-thus. the hourly
consumption at full head is forty feet.
The giant burner on top likewise,
at full head, consumes twenty feet an
hour, the small burners, each ten
feet. Thus a stove in full commits.
sion for pot and pan cooking consumes
ninety feet an hour.
Now, for paper bag cooking the
oven must be lighted and turned on
full for eight minutes before any
thing goes into t; 1t must also burn
full strength forseven minutes longer.
Thus, it consumes ten feet of gas at
reduce the heat one-half at the end
Of the seven minute period reduces
consumption to fifteen feet for the
rest of the hour. making a total of
twenty-five feet against forty But
roasting does not demand that bur-
save five feet in the hour. Thus the
net hour-saving of gas on the oven
account is ten feet.
But there are other accounts By
help Of paper bags, you can not mere
ly roast in the oven, but cook at the
same time a couple Of vegetables and
bake pie or pudding With a small
roast you may even cook three veg
etables, thereby leaving unlighted
three upper jets, which would mean
saving Of thirty feet Of gas an hour.
Cooking thus solely in the oven
means saving Of fifty feet Of gas
an hour.
Nor is this even all the story. Mys.
teriously, things cook more quickly
