a very knowing look as l handed out
the advice she was seeking
Heres the way 1 reasoned the
thing: If 1 told her to invest her
money, and she lost, then she would
probably never forgive me- On the
other hand, if told her to keep her
money, and then the company should
make good, / would probably be able
to square myself by telling her that
conditions had changed so as to enable
the company to cash in on some un-
usual occurrence.

lowing fashion: Take my advice,
young lady, and keep your money in
your purse. 1t will be safe there. It's
true that great many oil companies
make big profits for their sharehold-
ers, but every once in a while one of
them fails. Suppose this company
fails; where will your money be then?'
"Well, to make long story short,
she took my advice and kept her
money in her purse, so far as know,
or maybe she spent it for a new dress
or something else. At any rate, went
about my business, very much pleased
with myself and the very sage advice

THE CHRONIC KICKER
By THE REV. CHARLES sTELZLE.

When a resolution is introduced, he
is sure to offer an objection. Some
times he kicks on the subject matter
itself. Then he protests against the
form in which the resolution has been
presented. Frequently he finds fault
with word in the construction of a
sentence, and often he will offer an
amendment which puts the original
resolution out of business. He is
primed for every parliamentary dis
pute.
He seems to be familiar with every
communication that is read at the
meeting of the local. He knows the
leaders and their foibles. He is on
the job all the time, with both feet,
both fists, and with tongue that is
sharper than a two-edged sword. He
takes himself seriously. Never does
he crack smile. He has a mission,
and everybody soon comes to know it.
Often have we wished him in Timbuc-
too, where he could spout to his hearts
content on all the "isms" that so
glibly glide off the end of his tongue.
But, honestly, we'd miss him if he
should go. Miss him, not because we
love him, perhaps, but because he is
one of the necessary factors in our
development. AS matter of fact,
without him, we'd soon drift into a
rut, because most of US are too lazy
to think of an objection, to say moth

WISE MAN TODAY DOES NOT ADVISE
AGAINST INVESTING IN OIL STOCK

81 prefer not to give you the advice
you ask"
1t was the president of the firm
speaking to one of the department
heads. 'Not long ago 1 gave the ad-
vice you ask to one of my young lady
friends, and the way that advice
turned out was the most humiliating
thing that ever happened to me in my
life.
"Here's how it all happened. The
young lady ! speak of was employed
as private secretary to a very dear
friend of mine. On account of my ex-
perience in the oil business, she felt
that any advice l might give her would
be especially valuable. So one day
while was calling on my friend, this
young lady asked my opinion about
investing $3.50 in the shares of an oil
company that was just then organic
ing.
"Of course l felt fattered. We all
like to have people ask our advice
about things. 1t makes US feel rather
important to think that others will
trouble themselves to ask our opinion
of things, especially if they appear to
be matters of some consequence.
"Now, to tell the truth, while l
know whole lot about the oil busi-
ness, l really know very little about
the company about which she was
asking my advice. However, l didn't

ing of an original proposition. There's
at least one thing that we must say to
his credit-he always attends the
meetings. Furthermore, he must spend
considerable time in reading and in
study to know as much as he does
about current events and the theories
WHICH men are discussing. He ac-
tually thinks.
He may not always be right, but
he certainly is awake-and that's an-
other point to his credit. Also, he
keeps the rest of us awake. And that
isn't bad. But he is more often right
than not. We object to him because
he is like a bee buzzing about our
heads, but even the bee is a useful
creature.
Sometimes it's hard to be patient
with the kicker. But there are Others
who are worse than he is-for in

at the meeting and then does his
kicking outside where it does a whole
lot more harm. He's the chan that
should be jumped on, and not the man
who is sincerely, usually intelligently.
tho not always wisely, registering an
objection in the open meeting to pro
posed actions which would often spell
disaster.

only lew months after that, while
reading the morning paper, l hap
pened across an item which gave the
details of a great oil strike by the
Blank Oil company-the very COM
pany about which this young lady had
asked my advice. The same article
went on to state that this strike would
enable the company to pay sharehold-
ers fifty dollars for every dollar they
had invested.-all within the space of
few months!
"In other words, if / had not pre-
| tented to know so alfred much, this
young lady would have received
$500 in return for the $3.50 she want
ed to invest. But by acting on my
advice she lost what to her would have
been a snug little fortune.

any more. l feel like a dub every

the same. l will never again advise
anyone in the matter of oil invest
ments, because, unlike any other bust
ness l know of, you can never tell
when, where or by whom the big
strikes are going to be made, or which
company will make the biggest sue

you'll have to go to someone else

to be silent until my return. Before l
left, half of the tired men of the little
band were slumbering. One hour later
I had seen the camp, just as 1 Z expected,
In fancied security, believing that we
could not be within a days march Of
them.
Crawling back till / could hoof it on
the run, I found the boys as / had left
them. Quietly they were called to sad
die up, instructions were given, men
were detailed to pay particular atten-
ton to r~ecapturing and rounding up
the herd, and others were instructed as
to the attack on the camp. l estimat-
ed the Indians to number about thirty,
and there were forty-two of US. Ten
were to creep up to the sleeping In
dams on foot and be ready to work In
open order. Twenty, besides the lieu
tenant and myself, were to charge on
horseback. The rest were 30 bring up
the remaining horses, attack the herd
ers and round up the entire herd. We
attacked at break Of day, and the
whole scheme worked well. The tired
lot were surprised when awakened to
meet their foes. Nine of them were
sent to sleep forever. Many had kept
their war horses near them, and,
hastily mounting, they escaped with
several picked horses from our band.
Among them was one of my favorite
wal horses, Powder Face, which one
of them who probably knew him had
appropriated for his own use
As soon as the fight was over and !
saw that we had captured some Of
their herd as well as our own l saw
that Powder Face was not with them,
but / recognized him half a mile away,
his rider heading for the hills. This
made me hot, and, knowing that the
Indians would think others were fol-
lowing me, l dashed after them Old
Buckskin Joe soon began to gain. and
I got near enough for a shot. My first
shot killed the horse that an Indian
was riding alongside OF Powder Face,
and his rider was 500 Up behind in
the usual manner they try to save a
warrior, riding backward. shooting at
me with his revolver. Powder Face
was as swift as Joe. Being In the
rough sand hills and having a double
weight to carry, Joe in a few minutes
got me near enough for a good shot.
I kept closing on them, as I did not
want to hit my old friend Powder
Face. When I thought It sure as they
were riding up over a mound I fred.
The Indians fell, the one bullet going
through both, and when Powder Face
heard my voice he ran toward me
whinnying, and. with two Of the boys
who had been ordered TO follow close
behind me by the lieutenant, we re-
turned to the camp in high glee. They
found a lot of dried buffalo and deer
meat and some fresh antelope and deer,
with accompanying pepper and salt
and copious drafts Of spring wateR. so
a few minutes rejoicing was had. A
detail was quickly made up to bury
the dead. and as we had but three

gene A. carr, saw US hunting Ior
a band of Indian dog soldiers"
who were, like the Irishman's
flea, here, there and at times every
where.
Nebraska, Colorado and Kansas were
all excited over the depredations Of
these renegades. They had murdered
right and left, had captured several
hundred mules and horses and destroy
ed wagon trains, as we could tell by
the trail Of come shod animals. What
intensified our desire to punish or cap
ture them was the fact that they had
some white captives-Mrs. Alderdice,
whose husband and children they had
killed, and Mrs. Weigel. whose hus-
band and family had also been mas
sacred, and these two women were
known to be still alive and with them.
At last we got on their trail and had
almost daily skirmishes, and General
Carr decided to use some stratagem
to see If we could not get them in a
tight place. He consulted with me
and after a day of continual skirmish-
ing and a night attack he ordered a
retrograde movement, which created
a good deal of discussion between the
officers and men at the time. Appar-

In two or three days, as he surmised,
the Indians were nowhere to be seen,
having come to the conclusion that
we we're disheartened and that they
could with impunity take a little re-
pose themselves. This was exactly
what our willy commander desired, as
catch them sleeping. So, being sure
that there were no Indians in sight,
he packed all the grub possible on the
mules, burned the wagons and i'm
pedimenta and Immediately started to
make forced marches in their direc-
ton.
AS ] had surmised, they were head
ing for Summit Springs. a few miles
south of the Platte river and among
the sand hills, which formed a beau
tiful little oasis, as It were, for a
camp ground. Striking their trail by
judging from their daily campfires, we
made in n day the same distance
that they made in three. but when
near the Springs, as we saw the trail
getting fresher. we covered four of
their days ~journeyings, with all their
i~mpedimenta and village outfit, In one
day and landed at the opportune mo
mem ready for business, while the me
my had been thrown off their guard
