Shoshone indians Had Little Use for
other Virtues in the Braves of
the Tribe.

AS war was their chief occupation,
bravery was the first virtue among the
Shoshone Indians of the American
Northwest. None could hope to be
distinguished without having given
proof of it, nor could there be any
preferment or influence among the ma
ton without some warlike achieve
ment. The important events which
gave reputation to warrior, and en-
titled him to a new name were: Kill
ing a white Cor grizzly bear, stealing
individually the horses of the enemy,
leading a party who happened to be
successful either in plundering horses
or destroying the enemy, and lastly,
scalping an enemy warrior.
These acts seemed of nearly equal
dignity, but the last, that of taking
an enemy warriors scalp, was an
honor quite independent of the act

studies day by day with ever fresh ap-

argue from expression; but expression
is just what the countryman lacks. A

laughter either; and certainly is not
stuff for minor poetry. you enjoy

Duluth to the International bridge,
and probably extended through to Ft.

"sIeuth-hound thou knowest, and gray,
and all the hounds;
A horse tkou knowest, a man thou
dost not Know"
-IdyIIs of the King.
We have set rules for judging diff
ferent breeds of dogs and horses and
cattle and sheep.
In our everyday conversations we
judge race horses by their speed; dray
horses by their strength; cows by
their butter yield sheep by their yield
s1d quality of wool, and men by their
wealth or rank or education.
Brief consideration, however, shows
that wealth is a poor standard by
which to judge the value of man.
It is not hereditary, in the sense that
speed and strength and high butter
yield and long wool are hereditary
among animals. Then, too, wealth is
often stolen or secured by unfair
means or secured by gift or made by
the community rather than by the in
dividuaI.
Tolstoy, himself a rich man, ridi-
cules the tendency to judge men by
their wealth. He represents a horse
as explaining the human race to
colt. The horse says Men rule in
life not by deeds, but by words. They
love not SO much the possibility of
doing or not doing anything as the
possibility of talking about different
objects in words agreed upon between
them. Such words, considered very
important among them, are the words
my, mine, ours, which they employ
for various things, beings and objects,
even for the earth, people and horses.
In regard to any particular thing they
agree that only one person shall say,
1t is mine.' And he who in this play.
which they engage in, can say mine
In regard to the greatest number of
things, is considered the most fortu-
nate among them"
A much earlier writer than ToIstoy.
writing in the times of Nero ridi-
cules not only wealth but rank and
physical qualities also as means OF
judging a9man: II am a better man
than you, says one, for have many
estates and you are pining with hun
ger. l have been consul, says another;
I am governor, a third, and / have
fine head of hair says a fourth. Yet
one horse does not say to another,
I am better than you, for / have a
great deal of hay and a great deal
Of oats; and have a gold bride and
embroidered trappings'; but, / am
swifter than YOU And every creature
is better or worse, from its own good
or bad qualities. Is man, then, the
only creature which hath no natural
good quality? And must we consider
hair and clothes and ancestors to
judge of him?'

1t was wonderful evening. The
three young Penfelds went through it
as in a happy dream. They could no
more believe in it's reality than the
Gagged bird can believe in sudden free
dom. Here was not merely a good
time, but the climax Of bliss, the es-
sence of things long hoped for. The
air was full Of the pungency of fir
boughs And there was the tree itself
in a corner of the living-room, it's
branches hung with tinsel Lettie's
three yards of this ethereal trimming
had been separated into cunning
lengths and disposed with an appear
ance Of abundance. And candles!
They could not be denied. Six Of
them! There were four strings Of pop
corn in a graduated terrace; walnut
shells, decorated with whatever paint
had offered; eggshells also, with bright
pictures affixed! And what matter If
the contents Of these latter had gone
to the nourishment Of other tenants in
The Custard Cup? The decorative pos
sibilities had been saved for the Pen

You have fallen into your rank,
and have fallen into mine"
A Tale of Two Cities.

A Tale of Two Cities.
If we mix together oil and vinegar
and set the vessel aside, the oil will
promptly rise to the top. If we add
an egg to the mixture and beat the
whole very vigorously, we can for
while circumvent nature and keep
the oil and vinegar in mixture; but u
the sauce Is set away for cine, the
oil breaks it's bonds and returns to
the top.
If we toss measure OF stone, gravel
and sand into a vessel of water, shake
the vessel thoroughly, then set 1t aside
to settle, we shall find the stone at
the bottom, the gravel above that
and the sand on top.
The oil and the gravel both found
their places by means of their weight
heavy things sink, light things float.
No one has yet figured out what
there is in human relations that cor
responds to specific gravity; but each
man has a place or a rank in the uni
verse and invariably falls into it
sooner or later.
Whatever it is that determines rank
men are conscious of its presence
when it is present. Let the officers
Of regiment be killed and if there
is leader in the ranks he will as
sumo command No one will tell him
to lead-he will step forward end the
Ohmaht
others will follow him. History tells
us that the thing has happened time
after time in battle Gather together
a hundred boys from all parts of the
country and put them together in a
camp somewhere and within a week
three or four boys will be leading the
rest. No one will tell them to be the
leaders-they will take the place for
themselves as naturally as oil takes
it's place in mixture.
1t is not mental ability that causes
the difference in rank, as was obvious
in the case of Carton and Stryver,
where the brighter man held the lesser
rank. It is not energy, for the excess
sively energetic man often ranks
lower than his more deliberate
brother. It is not education, for many
a man with his Phi. D. ranks lower
than some other man who barely fin
ished grammar school.
Many philosophers have thought
that the thing that determines rank
among men is ones mental attitude
toward rank. Emerson, for example,
says, Beware what you set your heart
upon, for it shall surely be yours"

'I'm planning to do diff'runt; that's

AS Mrs. Penfeld went back into the
house, Lettie came dancing in from a
trip to the yard to feed popcorn to Bon
ME Geraldine.

you s'pose I done? You couldn't guess,

what's the matter. What do you

Penfield briskly. "And now see here,
children, I'm going to let you open
these here presents right now, If you
want to, cause there may be some
thing in 'em that you'll want tonight. +"
There ensued small whirlwind in
the kitchen. Amidst a great rustling
Of paper and many shrieks of joyous
surprise, the gifts were drawn forth :
brown serge dress for Lettie, a gray
sweater for Crink, little snit for
Thad. Mrs. Penfeid's regret was that
the donor could not have stayed to
know the ecstasy which her thought
fulness had brought to three children,
inexperienced in the ways Of gifts.
Excitement rose again to danger

turned with two wild ducks and a bag
