is DEAN OF ALL INDIANS
Sitting Elk, Mighty Warrior Who
Never Killed White Man. Is Old
est Redman.

Oldest of all Indians in he United
States. Sitting Elk. former chief OF the
Ogallaila Sioux. is visiting in Denver.
the guest of the white man. against
whom he always refused to make
war.
For almost century he has been a
leader among his people. but, wiser
than other chiefs, he early realized
that the red man was doomed and at
every opportunity he counseled peace
with the palefaces.
He could well afford to do SO. for his
people knew he was no coward.
Il have never killed a white man"
he proudly boasts. but | have fought
many battles. and have done many
brav, deeds in my long life OF ninety
six years. ! was but seventeen when
waylaid and killed my first enemy.
That. was a very brave deed. Since
then | have killed many. many enc
mics"
Sitting Elk is a total abstainer. He
smokes cigarettes, but insists he has
none of the other bad habits of the
white man. He Is childless. the last OF
his line. but he expects to live for
many years more-to be hale and
hearty long after he has passed the
century mark.
Sitting Elk moves tall and stately
among HIS hnsmen. and puffs his pipe
with a complacency unruffied by
thoughts of any immediate journey to
the happy hunting grounds.
Bright of eye. keen of mind. the old
warrior dons paint and feathers for
his appearance with the younger
members of his tribe in the headlong
dashes across the amphitheater at the
stock yards, and rides with an aban-
don which defies the spectator to sim
gle him from the reckless redskins
who have but one-fourth his years to
their credit.

No Honor At All.

A section foreman on one of the
great lines came under the notice of
the president of the road, who had
been observant of the manner in
which the track had been maintained.
Having graduated from humble posi-
ton, the officer knew what it meant
to get pat on the back.
He called the section boss to the
side of his car. gave him a drink of
whisKey without any claws in it and
perfecto cigar, says the Chicago
Post. Then he told him how he APP
preciated his work and adjured him
to keep it up.
The district dignitary slowed away
the perfecto to smoke of a Sunday,
and after he had consumed it took a
spin on the handcar to put 1t all over

The latter listened to the narrative
with poorly assumed control.

Labouchere's Way,

The following reprints from Truth
are valuable as indicating that tho
compositor's troubles are not of recent
origin:
A new beauty has appeared upon
the horizon of London. She is from
the Channel Islands and is the daugh-
ter OF the dean of st. Hellers. Mr..
Millais was the troubadour who first
told nations that she was beautiful by
offering to paint her portrait. Society
has gone mad over her. The other
day at a party she was positively
mobbed and more than one duchess
climbed upon chair to gaze upon her.
Since the advent of this beautiful
heiress all former social lions waste
their dewdrops on the desert air and
vainly roar; no one pays more atten-
tion to them than If they were COM
mon puppy dogs.-(May "a, 1879
In paragraph last week respecting
the rise of new beauty on the Lon
don armament the word "heiress" was
by a printers error substituted for
"lioness." The lady in question is not
an heiress. Sheets married to Mr..
Langtry, well known yachting man.

Didn't Fully Understand.

A New York Judge went over to
Ireland recently and met the brother
of Tom Costigan, a well-known dis
trict leader in one wing of the Democ-
racy. The Judge told Toms" broth
er in Ireland all about what a great
man Tom" had become, about his
popularity and influence, devotion to
politics. The brother, instead of shar-
ing the judges enthusiasm. looked
anxious. Before you go" said Toms"
brother, please satisfy me on one
point. Isn't all this attention to
politics interfering with my brothers

NEVER ENTIRELY WIPED OUT
The Bachelor Survives In Great Num-
bers, Despite Attacks of Most
Skillful Foes.

Bachelors, like the poor, We have
always with us. They never become
extinct The rising army each year is
attacked by an opposing army of fe-
males. and each individual is. Of
course, defeated and led away to the
slaughter; yet, in spite of this fact,
the bachelor still persists.
Many things conspire to keep him
going; for one, there are the cities.
Bachelors who live in cities learn to
be very comfortable. They can ar
range their home decorations to suit
themselves, and can at any time bring
home friend to dinner without any
criticism from the management.
Bachelors who live in cities can also
eat and drink what they please with
out interference. and 80 far as all the
material comforts are concerned, they
can regulate their lives to suit them
selves.
On the other hand, the thing that
depletes the ranks of the bachelors
more than anything else is lonesome
ness. Many bachelors are willing to
put up with almost any kind of a hard
life SO long as they can get someone
to share 1t with. Ease and luxury
are. after all, among the minor con-
Germs; after bachelor has expert
enced them for sufficient length OF
time he is willing to get married, If

And that was the night you didn't

Both rose from the bench. and Day
light caught up the milk-pail from the
nail by the door. He paused a mo-
ment longer to look out over the val
ley.
ITS sure grand" he said.
IT'S sure grand" she echoed laugh
ing joyously at him and with him and
herself and all the world. as she
passed in through the door.
And Daylight, like the old man he
once had met, himself went down the
hill through the fires of sunset with a
milkpail on his arm.

Tragedy of the STAGE.

An elderly actor said in despair to
theatrical agent one day:
rs there nothing you can do for
me? I've hung around your office, out
of work, for eight months now"
The agent, as he polished his dia-
mond ring with his red silk handker-
chief, answered thoughtfully:
Look here: bring yourself up to
date. The turkey trot is all the go.
You train some animal or bird to do
the turkey trot with you. and III get
you on one of the circuits at a three
figure salary"
The old actor. says the st. Louis
Globe Democrat, thanked the agent
gratefully. He bought an ostrich from
retired circus man. and after a lot
of hard work he taught the bird to
turkey trot with him splendidly. Then
he reported himself to the agent
again.
But the agent, for all his promises.
had nothing to offer. The poor fellow
turned up every day for a while, then
every ether day, then every third day;
but there was nothing doing. and at
last week went by without his ap-
pearance at the agents office.
Then the agent sent for him and
said:
well, I've fixed you up at last.
I've booked you for that turn of yours
at" But the old actor interrupted,
sadly:
ITS too late now," he said.
TOO late? How is 1t too late?"
said the agent. frowning

There is often something luminous

"'What can you tell me about

"a gentleman!' exclaimed, What
do you mean by that?'
"'Well, a'am," explained my young
ster. when the daughters of Jethro
went to the well to draw water, and
when the shepherds came and drove
them away, and Moses helped the
daughters of Jethro, he said to the
shepherds: Ladies first, please. gen.
