SOOFbE OI years ago your COT
~ respondent made the acquaint-
~ ance of Chief Thunder Cloud,
4 n a hardy old Sioux who oper-
ates with the Ringing Bros circus
and describes himself in confidential
moments as the grandson of Sitting
Bull. Chief Thunder Cloud was very
much interested in your correspond
ent He gave me courteous Hey.
Chickpaw," which is Sioux for How
goes it?"
He fastened upon me Sioux
nickname which can be roughly
translated as dim in the
Brain.
1T is not often that Chief Thunder
Cloud gives out nicknames to stran2-
ers." said Dexter Fellows, the peerless
circus agent. Your mentality must
have made great impression on him. "
That's right" affirmed Chief
Thunder Cloud.
Being susceptible to flattery In all
forms. your correspondent thanked
the chief, gave him a cigarette. and
resolved thenceforth to aid and pro-
mote the American Indian at every
opportunity. An opportunity has just
arisen. A footloose tourist, rambling
through the Grow reservation in Mon
tana, has stumbled upon the forgot

don't know why they called
him Afraid of "A Bear. He never
was afraid of an enemy tackler.
Still, the Red Men hang some very
queer tags on their friends, and as
one who has been honored by a Sioux
chieftain with the name of Dim-in-

of-a-Bear's predicament.
The trade they taught Afraid-of-a-
Bear at Carlisle was blacksmithing,
and he turned out to be fine black
smith. They didn't teach him art, but
he turned out to be a fine artist as
well. am told that he paints land
ScapeS on wood at the Crow reServa-
ton, when he is not occupied with
blacksmithery, and that he is busy
rectifying the mistakes and miscon-
ceptions that appear in the popular
bar room paintings of Clusters last
stand at Little Big Horn. Afraid of "a
Bear has already produced his own
painted version Of the Custer massa-
ere.
It's a remarkable thing that Car
Isle foot bah player should become
an artist. It's remarkable, in fact,
that q Carlisle foot ball player Of the
Pop Warner era should ever have be-
come anything but a permanent foot
ball player. Foot ball was all they
knew, under Warner, an all they were
taught. Pop maintained standing
squad of athletes who operated year
after year under the Carlisle banuer.
1t was a good advertisement
for Carlisle, and it was not bad
advertisement for Pop.

During the past few years the news

Looks for Greatest Year.

Looks for Greatest Year.
1T Is my earnest wish that such con.
tributions shall be continued. With
the help Of the newspapers and of the
other sports-controling bodies, I see
no reason why the year 1887 should
not be the greatest in the history Of
the A. A. u
The amateur Athletic Union en-.
joyed a most active and successful
year in 1886. The selection of the
Olympic teams added impetus to many
sports under A. A. U. jurisdiction and
proved the incentive for the athletes
of America to create a multitude of
new records.
Track and field reached a new high
during the past year. The indoor and
outdoor meets all over the Nation
brought out athletes who went on to
sweep the Olympic games and main
tain American unbroken supremacy
in the sport. A new phase of track
and field activity was the Inaugural
tion of a labor meet in New York,
which bids fair to become one of the
Nations leading athletic attractions.
Industrial Athletics Revived.
DURING the year many industrial
plants revived athletics and
recreation for their employees During
the coming year the A. A. U. will
further attempt to assist industrial
athletics as a medium for filling the
leisure time of employees This phase
of athletics was greatly neglected dur
ing the industrial depression, but will
no doubt be the fastest growing type
Of recreation in the future.
The Amateur Athletic Union has
appointed a committee to make
careful study of and recommend
changes for the liberalization of am
ateur rules. Although the rules Of
the A. A. U. must be kept in close
conformity with those of the Inter-
national Amateur Athletic Federations
it is believed that many rules are now
on the books which can be modified in
favor of the athlete
A special committee will be named
to confer with the other groups which
comprise the American Olympic Asso-
citation, 10 devise some plan of raising
the necessary funds to finance our

delight than Londoners are enjoying

old city has given herself over to the
spirit of holiday with completeness
and absorption that are essentially

the full intention of staying late.

In to stare, exclaim, loiter and marvel
in the streets and to share in the
greatest hour England has known in
many a year. They find amusement
everywhere.
There are street decorations to
study. Hour after hour, the faces Of
the packed and slowly moving throngs
are turned up to look at the futtering
banners Of white, red and blue Hun

There is to be but one entrance
to Westminster Abbey and that one
on the river side through a COM
paratively small door. Long, covered
runways have been built to reach
that entrance, and identification de-
lays will be many and prolonged.
And, inasmuch as the old church is
to seat several thousand persons be-
sides the King and Queen on that
day, and as we are all warned that
the doors will be closed at alf-past

be turned back disappointed, it is
