Love and a Rino.

Love and Ring.
The story of one woman's pride and
devotion comes out of jewelers. shop.
A young man bought an engagement
ring. Apparently he was an impecuni-
GUS young man. At any rate he ordered
an imperfect diamond. In less than a
week his fiancee called at the shop
alone.
rs this a fawless diamond? she
asked. 81 want an honest answer"
She got it.
81 thought So" she said. Poor TEL
low! 1 don't blame him. He did the
best he could. l don't care for myself,
but have friends who are good judges
Of diamonds, and it would nearly kill
me for them to find out that he gave
me cheap ring. VIII you take this
stone out and replace it with first
class diamond? He will never know
the difference. l will pay the bill"
The substitution was effected, and
that young woman is now proudly
showing her ring.-New York Times.

safeauards In Buildings.

The man who intends to build will
not take heed Of the man who has had
an unfortunate experience in building,
because he feels that he is ShreWd
enough to look after his own interests
and safeguard his own rights notwith
standing the fact that he is engaging
for the time being in business enter
prise that is totally foreign to him. If
he sets out to buy five cent loaf Of
bread he gets a loaf Of bread for 8
cents. If he sets out to build resi-
dence for $4,000 there are no good
reasons why he should not be able to
do it for that amount. He should
definitely know two things-frst, ex-
actly what he is going to get for the
price he expects to pay and, second,
the outside limit Of cost for the COM
pleted structure. To demand these
safeguards is perfectly fair and nat
ural, for in every phase of business to-
day, except building, one knows just
what the cost of any specified piece of
work will be.-Noble Foster Hoggson

Once Lady Byron sat next to him.

eft, with twinkle in his eye-"doc-
tor, do you know who sat next to you
as the table today? 1t was Lady By
ron"
"Why the deuce did you not tell me
this before?" replied Schopenhauer. 81
should have liked to be rude to her."
"That was what 1 feared" said the
host, land for that reason I kept it
quiet"

Ben Brave--A Sioux Lee
turer.

Ben Brave was born on the
plains of Dakota, the home of the
Sioux Indian. Until entering
Hampton Institute at Hampton,
Va, he lived with his people,
roaming the vast area of unciviliz-
ed land. His abode was the tepee;
his food derived from the fruits of
the chase.
In 1878 the Rev. Luke G. Walk
err, native missionary in charge
of the Lower Brule Agency in
Dakota Territory, seeing in Mr.,
Brave the possibilities Of develop
ing man who was to be an apostle
to his people, took him to his
home. The Reverend Walker re-
lates little incident in the life Of
Mr.. Brave which shows his tena
city. He says: 81 first took off
his moccasins and gave him shoes.
At first he could hardly walk, and
was practically unable to go up or
down stairs without falling, but
his mind was set on lettering him
self and the conditions under
which his people lived, he soon
conquered this small incident, and
has gone on conquering until be
now stands one of the most respect
ed men of his tribe.'
Ohitika is the name given HIM
by his parents, and is an Indian
name meaning Brave. Mr.. Brave
is married and has seven brigh,
children.
His thoughts and deeds have
always been of a noble character,
and he is ever trying to Go some
thing for the uplifting of oul
race" says the Rev. Walker.
He has held several positions Of
trust with the Government, and
has been closely associated anC
worked with number of very
prominent missionaries among the
Indians His experience has lee
him to take the lecture platform
md his lectures have received
much commentator from his

Fourteenth Of June Ce!e
bratI0n.

The annual celebration here OF
June 18th will take place as usual
reports to the contrary notwith-
standing.
Last week it was stated at De
troit that the impression prevailed
there that the celebration had been
abanc oned. This is not true, for
the usual preparations are being
made not only for a big time but
to add to the program of the past.
Unless the usual efforts to have
a merry go-round brought here are
again attempted, the celebration
should be a great success.
The Tomahawk again suggests
that the members of not only this
reservation but of all the reserva-
tions of this state, should have q
special exhibit of Chippewa Indian
handiwork at one of the govern
ment buildings here. This would
no doubt be a pleasing attraction
to the white visitors who may at
tend the celebration.
