Every Indian Had an Umbrella.

One of the incidents of the early days in Great Bend that caused a great deal of merriment among the white residents was the time the In dians bought all the parasols and um- brellas that were for sale in the town.
 This happened along in the T0s and was on a rainy day. The lnjuns were on their way south and came through the town of Great Bend. They saw number of men and women on the streets with umbrellas and, being plentifully supplied with money and desire to own one of the handy con- trivances, they got busy. The funny part of 1t was that they made no dis tinction between toy parasols. silk ones and the serviceable linen ones. It was not long until the entire visi- ble supply of all the stores had been purchased Then the fun began.
 Some of the toy parasols were made of cloth that was highly colored and as soon as the water hit them the co,oring matter began to mix with the water and drip down upon the In dians' clothes. They minded this not in the least and were seen going southward whooping and seemingly in the very best of spirits. Great Bend Tribune.

WHERE. LIFE IS VERY CHEAP
Danger of Getting in Front or tne Guns During Russian War
 Maneuvers.

Forty-two soldiers were shot during tt e rcccnt mareuvers of the Russian army. The announcement IS stoiiaiv made by the minister of war He adds. ",rhese men were in advance ol tie guns"
 As guns Go rot ordinarily shoot backward, the minister's cryptic ex- pianneon may be considered super fluous.i The incident is, perhaps. Tn teressing chiefly because of the nght if threws on Russia's official attltude toward @thc value of human life. II fits in .aptly with the rerorts of exc cuticas, imrrisonrents and exsies which. coming from all rarts Of the czar,s domains. keen the world In: formed of the progress e '.alrtiess oppression.
 It is not surprising that the emrire is rocked with discontcnt, that ob- servers believe the government faces another costly revolution. A nation cannot place 50 low vafue on the lives of its subjects without ultimately rearing its reward in blcod and ter -rcr.

cauaht a Real Goldfish.

Fish stories are ri.e now, and under the seductive influence of this balmy time new versions come to light of the same old stories we have heard since boyhood days. Representative Plumley Of Vermont, of portentously serious mien, asserted
 to smiling group of colleagues that couple of seasons ago he lost his watch and $2o gold piece overheard
 while waiting by placid pool for a bite. The next day. he declared un- der oath, he caught a fish in that self same pool--a gold fish," of course-and he found within the finny armor of that Vermont bass his watch. the $2O gold piece, and 8 cents accrued inferest.--Joe Mitchell Chapple in Joe chapple's News Letter.

PROFESSIONAL MEMS

CHICAGO. Sept. 23.-There was
much discussion here today of the ad-
dress delivered before a congress of
so evangelists in the Moody church by
Rev. Melvin Trotter, of Grand Rapids.
Mich. who declared that the souls of
professional men are hardest to save.
The professional man is too inter-
ested in his business to go to church,
and too full of intellectual objections
when he getst here said Trotter His
soul is hardest to save 1t doesn't do
any good to argue questions of dogma
with him. You must get him inside the
mission and show him results"
Trotter declared that the drug fiend
ranked next to the professional man
because of his untrustworthiness. The
scarlet woman, he said. was third.
Women of that sort are so sure there
is no hope for them that they are hare
to reach" he said. Another obstacle
between them and salvation is the fac
that no one will give them honest EN-
ploymenf"
