Learned by Experience.

After one of the Indian reservations
had been opened the white community
was annoyed by the prOmiscuous
swearing Of the noble red man, num-
bers of whom seemed quite unaware
of the strength Of their recently ac-
quired vocabulary. This condition be-
came so intolerable that several ar
rests were made and Jail sentences i'm
posed. 1t was not long before the ma
tive sons of America realized that
swearing in public was a very bad
business, and they quit.
One of these Indians was a witness
in a case Of some Importance in the
local justice court and had testified to
certain facts which greatly exasper-
ated counsel for defense. With his
hand upraised the lawyer impressively
thundered, "NOw, Nick. will you
swear
"Nor' shouted the Indian. me no
swear! Swear talk no good here-get-
tum jail!'-Argonaut.
