So the master went liis way, and, bethinking himself ttat woman's wit is
sometimes sharper than a man's, he told
the whole story to hte wile and asked her
counsel.

Thero was a certain gentleman who had   this eorn er %t__\ TO ait-down npon it: and
a cuuk called Taraska, ooo to whom steal-   -
ing wm liko tbe bread of life. Everything

Select Eealung.
Rogue Taraska.
Pretty well, bat not just as tt sbould
be. See, now, I bad been quite a professor now, for my uncle's a first-rate band
at thieving, and knows all tbe ins and oats
•lit."
This was a piece of good news for the
master, who thought he bad discovered a
nice way of getting Taraska off his hands
without any more trouble. So the very
next morning he called bim up, furnished
him with all he could want for a journey,
and bade him God-speed on his way.
When he came to hia uncle the old man
received bis very affectionately, and
agreed readily enough to teach him tbe
practical parts of the science of thieving.
Accordingly, after giving him two or tbree
days holiday to freshen him up after his
journey, Taraska's nncle proposed to his
nephew to go a little walk through'' tbe
forest. Very good—away they weut.
By-and-by the uncle began looking about
on every side, till at last he got his eye on
a tall tree which seemed to be wbat be
wanted. He pointed to tbe topmost
branch and said:
"Taraska, my lad, do you see that raven's nest, np yonder, 00 tbe top of that
big tree?"
"Ay, ay, uncle, I see it plain enongb;
and what's more tbe mother's at home sitting upon ber eggs."
"You've hit it, my boy; and what's
more, she is asleep and tbe thing is to take
away the eggs without waking her."
"Weil, uncle, I suppose it can be done;
stealing is just stealing, aftar all."
"Ah, but there's a way of doing everything, too. Bow just watch and see how
I do it; TO climb up and take all the eggs
from under the mother without her feeling a bit."
Up went tbe uncle. Five minutes passed, neither more nor less; look now, there
are all tbe eggs in the uncle's bands!
^'Bravo, uncle!" said Taraska; "you're
tbe one for doing things. It's no joke to
take the eggs trom nnder a sleeping raven,
bat now you've not been sleeping nor
dreaming either and yet—where are the
soles of your boots?" "
Tbe uncle put up one foot, then the
other, and sure enough bis feet were looking through his boots, oot a bit of sole to
be seon. And tbe reason of this was tbat
Taraska, while his uncle was getting up
the tree so cleverly,had whipped ont his
knife and shaved off tbe soles of his boots
(wbich were brand new) withont the old
man knowing anything about it.
Not many days after this Taraska's uncle invited Us nephew to assist him in
robbing a monastery whioh stood bnt a
little way from their haunt. So off they
set, and, not to make a long story of it,
cleaned out the whole place from top to
bottom.
By this time Taraska began to think he
bad pretty nearly completed his education;
so back he went to his old master. Bat
such a guest was not at all tte master's
taste, and he began to cast about for some
way of getting rid of him. At last ho hit
upon a plan; and, calling op Taraska, be
put on a pleasant face, and said to him
v*ry_rhK-1y:
"WeU, Taraska, have yoa become a first
rate thief by this time?"
"So-so; I mustn't praise myself, but I'm
not j ust eo bad at it as I might be. "
"And whatever I set yoa to steal, could
you steal it, do yoa think?"
'•With your good leave, yon will hardly
find fault with my fingers.'
"Very good—now we'll see what you
can do. If yoa succeed in what I ait you,
yonr fortune's made; bnt if not, I'll hand
yoa over to tto soldiers, (t. «., deliver yoa
to justice.) Do yoa see, yonder comes a
priest, leading a cow. Gaa you steal me
tbat cow, do yoa think, without the priett
seeing you?"
"To be sure I can," says Taraska; "only
give me a pair oi strong boota."
The master brought him a pair of boots,
aad away went Taraska. He made a oir-
cuit through tbe forest, and coming ont
on tbe road about a hundred yards in
front of the priest, threw one boot hi the
middle of tbe road, and slipped behind the
trees again. Presently the priest came
along, and seeing the boot lying there, he
picked it up.
"What a famous boot for my son now,
if there had only been a pair of them!
But as itis an odd one I'M kit it lie."
But Taraska coming up tbe minute he
was gone, took the boot again, and making another round amoug tte trees, came
out a good way ahead, aud threw tte boot
into the road as before. The priest eame
along and espied IL
"Ah, now! What a foot I was not to
keep the other, aod I'd have had the pair
of tbem. I'll just go back at ooce and get
it."
And, tying the cow to a tree, he set oft.
But meanwhile, Taraska stepped nimbly
ia, eat tte rope, and marched off with the
cow right into his master's yard.
But tbe master was no happier than a
wolf in a trap wben he saw how Taraska
bad managed; and he determined ia some
way or other to be even with him yet. 80
be called bim ap and said: "This is aU
very wall; bot do yoa think you coald
steal tbe piate off my dinner table?"
"Nothing easier," said Taraska, very
ooldly.
"Very good, if you oan do it, well done
yoa, bat if oot, to tbe soldiers you go
forthwith."
Next day there was a great diuner at tbe
master's house, and Taraska made himself
very busy in the kitchen; he helped to
cook the dinner, carried inns and dishes,
and was like a man with three bauds.
Bnt all this time bo did not forget hia own
business; for as soon as all was ready he
took a peasant whom he had brib_d for the
purpose, smearing him with honey, and
stuok him fall of black feathers, and then
bade bim creep into tte great stove in the
dining hall, and do as he had been told.
Presently in came all tte guests, and sat
around the table; aod among them came
tbe prior of monastery close by. How be,
as it happened, took bis seat exactly opposite the stove in whieh Taraska's maa wa#
hidden. Wel), just as dinner was beginning, tbe door of the stove opened quietly
and out popped a black, horrid-looking
bead, all covered with black feathers.
Bat no one noticed it ezeept tto prior,
who girt a terrible start. After a time the
bogie peeped out again, and grinned, and
put out his tongue at the prior, who fell
all of a tremble, and began crossing himself at a great rate. "Heaven preserve
us," says he to himself, "what evil oan I
haw done ttat the devil should be sent to
torment me like this, miserable sinner
that I am." Tbe tbongbt had hardly
passed through bis mind, when suddenly
the bogie jumped out ofthe stove, with a
great whoop, and began danoing around
tbe table. Then nothing was beard bat
"O dear!" aad "Help!" Away ran all the
guests, one faster tban another; twe or
tbree fainted and rolled nnder table; tha
master seized his pistol and rushed after
the bogie, followed by one or two of tbe
gentleman. As soon as they wers gone,
Taraska made a clean sweep of the plate.
Whea tbe master came to think of the
matter and remembered bow things had
gone, he waa so wild that yoa oould not
have held hia with a cart rope; and be
swore vehemently that, eome what might,
be would find;means to pay Taraska for ail
ttat he bad done. At last a thought came
into bis head, and he called up Taraska,
aud said to bim, with as pleasant a face
as he could put on—
"Will, Taraska, my lad, you've done
famou. y, here's ao denying it. Now
I'm going to set yoa one task more and
theu you're a tree man. Oo yon think
yoa oould steal my money
chest? Uso, tte money is yours, bat if
not, then to the soldiers."
"I shall be moat happy," aaid Taraska,
very politely, "and the sooner tte better."
yoa ait beside me and keep watch witt
yoar pistols on the table in front of you,
ready to band; and we'll keep watch till
he comes, and if be gets tbe money then,
let him say that be has outwitted me."
And as she said, so it was done; and
wben all was ready tte master began to
rah his bands and chuckle to himself:
"Corner-have got bim this time, I think.
Let us sefliow be will get out of it now."
But in tte meantime Taraska had run
off to his uncle, who happened to be in the

first place, they made a kind of dummy
witt a sheepskin and a block of wood;
theu Taraska dressed op hk uncle in aa
old uniform belonging to tte Distriot Inspector of tbe Policd, which they had
stolen some time before, and ia this way
they set off to the master's boose. It waa
summer time and consequently all tto
windows on the grot ud floor were open, so
Taraska took the du .my and lifted it until
it's bead oame ab;i._ the window sill.
The moment the hea/i _ppeared, tbe master was on the watch, fired a pistolfuli at
it. Immediately there came a fearful
groan, aad the sound of a heavy fall, then
all was still.
^*_Hallo, hallo there!" cried Taraska's
uncle, coming around tte corner ia the inspector's uniform; "what does this mean?
Here's a man murdered under yoar very
windows, and, you don't even ste a foot
to help bim, or to sicze the murderer!
Just be so kind as to step this way, will
you?''
Out came tbe master with a very bad
grace, carrying his lantern in his band,
and there sure enough, was a dead body,
or something very like one, lying on the
ground, and the inspector of police, to all
appearance, standing beside it.
"Thia is a pretty business for you to
be mixed up in, my friend," said tte pretended inspector, very sternly. "Be ofl
with you this minute to the constable's
hat, and get everything ready for taking
tbe deposition, and I, in tte meantime,
will go round tte village and make further
respecting the affair.
Away went tte master accordingly,
trailing one foot after the otber, and cursing Taraska, the mouey chest, himself,
the inspector of police, and everything in
the world, a thousand times over. But no
sooner had he turned bis back, then Taraska slipped quietly into tte house, and
went straight to tte room where the master's wife w_vs still keeping guard over the
chest, and wondering why her husband
did not come back.
"All's well, now, my love!" said Taraska, in a whisper, imitating the master's
voice; ,,1've fiuished ttat rascal at last,
and a good job, too. He won't come to rob
us again in a hurry, I'll be boond. Now,
then, give me tbe chest and I'll put it back
into my cabinet; It's no good sitting up
over it all night, now ttat there is nothing
more to fear.
Now, at night, as we all know, it is vary
dark, and it was none the lighter bow that
the master had oarried ofi the lantern.
Consequently.'tbe good lady, who could
not see a bit of Taraska, never dreamed
but that it was her husband who was then
speaking, bo she handed over the cheat
without more ado. Taraska immediately
marched out of tbe house witt it, hid it
amoug the bushes, aud then going into the
kitchen and curling himself up beside the
stove, he went comfortably to sleep.
Ia the meantime,  his master, who bad
waited at tte constable's hut till  be was
tired, without hearing anything more of
the murder, thought he might just as well
go home and see that his money chest was
- ctll  -.-gin, su u_o_  _j_i  v,eut  _\___r_i_£Ty,
lantern and all.
"Wby, wife, wbere is the chest?
"Why, my love, you took it away yourself, you know, about half aa hour ago.
What have yoa been doing all the time
since them?"
The master gave a kind of roar, like a
bear hit by a bullet, and bumped his head
against the wall an if he had suddenly
gone mad.
"Oh! bot I am an old fool!" howled he.
"see now if I haven't let that villain take
me in again! Well, its no use trying to
get over, I oan see that, so VU jast send
him about his business, and never have
anything to do with him.—From the Russian.
A REMINISCENCE.
It is the old story—a disagreement over
some trifling matter. We differed in opinion—he said with a man's sneer, that I
took a woman's view ol tbe case, and that
angered me, till presently we were quarrelling, aod the dreadful words escaped
me—
"I wish either you or I was dead."
It shocked him; be asked me it I meant
it, aod I repeated:
"I am sorry we were over married, and
I do from my heart wish we were never
married."
He grew pale.
"It is time we parted, then," he said.
"The sooner the better," I rejoined.
Thus I took upon myself the double
burden of loneliness and oalumny.
My husband went out of the room,
never looking back, and left the houae.
I trembled for what I had done. I felt
oppressed and lonesome; but thought he
would oome back. Music, embroidery,
and reading, I tried successively, bat failed to be either amused or interested I
dressed myself in my best, and walked
through tte most populous streets, hoping
to meet him.; I passed his store, but could
not see bim there. Who would-have
thought, looking in* my smiling face that
my heart ached '•* I met my fashionable
friends and accepted an invitation to a
fashionable party. I consented to be one
of a committee to raise funds for a charitable object.
I went homo sorrowful. A night of
anxiety ensued. The morrow came, bot
no husband. My sorrow was changed to
anger. I resolved to go to his shop ; and
put my resolution into practice. Everybody, was there but my husband—his
partner waited upon me witt alacrity. I
bought a few trifles, and tben asked*, with
as little apparant concern as possible.
"Oh, Mr. Sanders, where is Charles ?"
He gave a strange look, his eyes dilated.
"You must know ttat be .sailed for
Europe yesterday.
How I looked, and what 1 said then, I
know not. I seemed to live an age in a
moment—an age of bewildering, bideous
recollection. When I oame to myself, I
was grasping tte counter witt both
hands. Mr. Sanders held a chair and was
begging me to be seated. I shook my
head, and ia tte fnll belief ttat I was
dying, got into a carriage and was driven
home. Calling my servant on my arrival
there, I asked her if Mr. Warren had been
home since the previous morning.
"O, __es, ma'ma," she said, "he came
after you went oat, and I helped him pack
the leather travelling trunk. He said he
was called away in a hurry, and that waa
all." Then be left no word for me. I
grew oold, my very teeth chattered, aad I
had only self-command enough to dismiss
the servant. What could they think of it
at the store, for of course more than Mr.
Saunders saw bow terribly startled and
distressed I was. How did they look
npon a wife who knew nothing of so important a step on the part of her husband.
Misery and I were companions now. I
lost all interest in my household ; my
friends first condoled With then deserted
me, on account of my|gloomy countenance.
Why I was thus abandoned was a mystery
to all bot myself. Sickness of body followed sickness of heart. I had been an
only ohild; my parents were both dead.
Alter my recovery from a' discouraging
illness, I received a visit from my husband's partner. Hewas a handsome man,
not even middle aged, and much admired
by everybody. His manner was so kind
tbat I was gradually led on to confide my
troubles to him. Alas 1 his coming boded
no good. He brought tte astounding intelligence that my husband had dissolved
partnership with him—ttat the business
bad been oarried on by writing, and
|biough tte meditatif^f a friend—and
that he knew nothing' - * . whereabouts.
Tbis was dreadful tt__ga to me. I had
beard no word from bim—I was not rioh
in my own right; bills were coming in
continually; I still lived extravagantly,
aod knew not which wig to turn.
My husband's partner came to the rescue
again.
'•Give me yonr house," he said, "take a
smaller one inthe suburbs, and if yoa will
allow me, I will pay one year's rent in advance, and help you to find means to live."
I thought be was a very angel of kindness,
and in my dependent state, was ready to
follow his advice ia every particular.
I owned a grand piano. By selling that
and some fuiuiture, I managed to pay
most of my debts, and by giving lessons
in music on a hired instrument, I supported myself. Mr. Saunders seemed always
my friend. I thought him the soul of
honor.
A year passed. I had taken boarders, a
man and his wife, and had three or four
pupils, who paid me well. I began to get
used to my strange situation. Mr. Saunders called once ia a while, aad the oaly
thing troubled me now, was my obligations to hiss. He had expended nearly
two hundred dollars for me; and I had repaid him only a small snm. His manner
towards me gradually changed; he became
a trifle too familiar. I detected an expression in his eye that alarmed me, aad I
hardly knew why. Tha lady who boarded with me, took the liberty of asking if
he was -i relative. It made me angry, and
I replied too carelessly. The next week
my boarders left sae—and to my grief, tta
woman proved to be a scandal-monger,
and my reputation suffered.
Before long it became too painfully ^apparent that Mr. Saunders was not what he
seemed. One evening he surprised me
Witt a passionate avowal of love. I was
shocked beyond all description, aad answered him witt vehemence. He was
coldly sarcastic, taunted me with my obligations—said ttat my reputation was
already suflering, and professed the darkest Intentions. It was a terrible situation
—something worse than death stared me
in the face—humiliation, dishonor. I had
ao friends; I was a deserted wife. My
boarders had gone, and my scholars were
gradually leaving me. My prospects weie
cheerless indeed, bnt God was still my
friend, I repelled the advances of tbis
fiend in.human shape, and ho left me ia a
towering passion. Malevolent reports
were spread about. Because I preferred
virtue and povefty to disgrace and tte
emoluments of a mistress, 1 was to be despised.
Misfortune seemed to follow me. My
remaining furniture was sold to pay Mr.
Saunders. What to do, I knew not; that
wretched man followed me like a fate,
from place to place. I obtained a situation as nursery governess ; his Masting
breath poisoned the atmosphere, and I was
obliged to leave it. I got situations hi
stores and sbow-rooms, but invariably he
continued to injure me in snch a way that
my services were dispensed with after a
few weeks. At last I found employment
ia tte Lowell mills. I deported myself
witt .the greatest circumspection—made
but few acquaintances, attended faithfully
to my duties, but after a wbile the same
persecutions would begin. The men
about tte establishment who were not
gentlemen, addressed me ia a most insolent manner—and I knew my husband's
partner was still secretly persecuting me.
I went to the proprietor only to be told
tbat women Who conducted themselves
witt propriety were never insulted. Besides the faet always preceded me, or become known io some manuer, that I was
a deserted wife—and it told powerfully
against me, particularly with my own sex
—driven almost Wild by tte neglect of
those immediately around me, and still
followed by tte man who was the cause of
all my suflering.
Well, he is dead now, and sometimes I
find myself wondering, curiously, if God
can forgive him.
One day, an employee finding me alone
ra ne won. room, anxious to nuish a task
I bad undertaken, placed bis hand on my
neck, and called ma his darling. All my
spirit was roused, and witb one vigorous
blow I sent him reeling to the floor, and
left him lying there. I shall never forget
how exultant I felt seeing bim at my feet,
stunned for tbe moment. The next day,
meeting him, I took from under my apron
a small pistol whioh I had procured.
'"Tou see that I am able to defend myself," I said; "touch me or speak to me
again at your peril."
He went immediately and reported tbat
I carried concealed weapons. It waa
proved that I did, and the employer gave
me notice to quit the establishment.
Whea I look back upon that period,
sometimes I wonder ttat I kept my reason.
What to do now, I knew aot. It was impossible to place myself beyond the power
of that terrible man, my Lusband's former
partner. I wrote te his mother, beseeching her to use her influence to protect me.
It was aa unwise move, for he had her ear.
I never received an answer.
Providence gave me a friend in the person of a sailor's widow. Her son was
purser's elerk or something of tbat kind,
on one of the English steamers between
New York and Liverpool, and through his
mother's exertions. I exulted now in the
thought ttat I should ao longer be followed by the cruel persecutions of tte man
who became my deadliest enemy. I provided some plain dresses eat my hair
short, wore a falsa front, aod a hideous
black cap, and thus attired, took my humble position with thankfulness.
The voyage proved a Stormy one, and I
had several sick persons on my hands.
One morning when the wind was blowing
a perfect gale, one of the surgeons came to
me and wished me to take care of a gentleman who had come on board siok. He
had ruptured a blood-vessel he said and
needed extra attention, though he was out
of immediate danger.
I was conducted to the state-room,
whioh was quite dark, far the invalid had
been asleep. I gave one look at tte palid,
suffering face, whiter than tbe pillow on
whicb ho laid. Tfae blood receded to my
heart, for there before ate lay my husband.
I heard vaguely tbe words of tte surgeon, "paid assistant," "capital nurse,"
and then I was left alone, witt one whom
I felt had deeply wronged me.
"Will you give me some water?" he
asked, faintly, and theu "what is your
name, my good woman?
I quietly replied "Bartlett."
He looked steadily at me as I spoke, and
grew pale as I put tte question.
"When have you heard from your wife?"
"What do you know about it ?" he cried
eagerly—and then—ia a lower, sadder
voice— _\ have no wife."
"Pardon me, sir—but I know your wife.
I know yoar history, save the years yoa
have beea away. Your wife has been a
noble virtuous woman—I think I ean say
tbat."
"Who are you P" he oried, starting forward.
"My name is Bartlett. I know your
wife," I answered steadily.
"When I left," he said, uneasily, "I left
a note with my partner, to give to her. In
ttat I told my intentions ; iu ttat I asked
ber to reconsider—and tbat any time, she
eould eall me back."
"Tbat note your wife never received."
"I could oaly believe," he remarked,
"but Saunders was like a brother to me."
"Saunders was a liar and a villain."
"He told me but a few days ago, when I
came back to find her, that he bad forwarded aU my remittances, but tbat sbe
was leading the life of a      *
"Hush!" I cried, in such a voice that be
looked up in a kind oi terror.
"You shall never in my bearing" I went
on, "couple ber name with the word you
were about to speak." Thai I took of my
cap and false hair; be gave a great cry, and
in a moment he had caught me in bis arms
How much we had to tell each other on
ttat stormy voyage ! He believed and
pitied me.
His partner never made restitution, for
wben we returned bome, he was gone to
bis long account, but my bead aches every
day for tbe helpless women who are
thrown adrift upon the great world, of
whose struggles to maintain themselves
and to keep upright none bat God knows.

A KICKER.
I was down near the lower railroad
bridge at Niagara Falls, having a couple
of boys with me, when a hackman drove
op and offered to take as down and show
us the whirlpool, a mile below, and return
us to tte bridge for half a dollar each.
When this offer was declined he said he
would take the three of ns for a dollar,
and we got iuto his carriage. He drove
down to the Whirlpool House, and as we
got oat I saw a sign reading: "Fifty
cents to go down to the whirlpool."
"You   agreed   to bring us down and
show   as tbe whirlpool," I said to the
hackman.
"Well, it's down those stairs."
"But I don't propose  to pay fifty cents
to go down there*"
''Then you won't see it"
"And yon won't get yonr dollar 7*
"Won't II   Come, I am ready to take
you back."
'Itat ws are uot ready to go. You lied
to us, and I refuse to pay yoa a cent."
"You either pay or I'll make jelly of
yoa."
"Come and try it."
He did not accept tta invitation, but
drove ofl up town, and a stranger said to
mo:
"fie bas gone tor a crowd, and you will
be luoky if you .get off alive. It's a shamefaced swindle, ,of course, and here are a
dozen of us Wbo have been played the
same way, bat what can we do about it ?"
"You can kiek against the gang."
"Yes, but we'd get the worst of it.
They are a bad lot. You'd better send the
fellow his money."
"I'll bo hanged it I do !"
"As we started up the river on foot a
dozen meu followed to see tbe fun. When
we reached the end of the.street car track a
mob of fourteen hackmen received us.
Tbe one who bad lied to ns demanded his
dollar. I refused to pay it. He called to
his mob to come on, and I backed up to
the building, leveled a revolver at 'the
crowd, and waited. They didn't come on
worth a cent. Tbey didn't oare for dollars just then. One by one they slunk
away, while I took the car back to the
Falls. The leader tried to get me arrested
for carrying deadly weapons.but no one
would issue a warrant. One justice told
him in my hearing:
"Every man coming to visit tbe Falls
ought lo oome with two revolvers, aud the
oftener he fires into your crowd, the better
ft wfll be for the few honest people here.
1 wish more kickers would come here."
In going down the Jersey coast by ths
way of New York, or ratter by the way
of Jersey City, I reached that point to discover that I was truukless. I went over
the river and consulted the Erie baggage
agent, and after telegraphing to various
points, ft was found tbat tbey bad been
left in the station at Buffalo. The baggageman there had tbree hours in which
to get them aboard, but be had singled
me out as a viotim. Everybody else's
trunk had oome along, but mine had been
held over for a rest. I couldn't kiok ou a
man 300 miles away, but I laid for him.
All the while I was fishing and sailing 1
nursed my wrath to keep it warm, and six
weeks later I walked into tbe baggage
room at Buffalo, I bad the documents to
back me up, as I said:
"On the 22nd day of July I passed
through here. I was ticketed for Jersey
City straighter than a string, and before I
left Detroit I saw that my checks were all
right.
"Wen."
"Well you left my trunks right bere for
twenty-four hours."
"Quite likely."
"And you-must pay for your carelessness."
"What J"
"Here is a little bill of expeuse mado by
yoar neglect of duty: There is $6 for three
of us at a hotelfovBr nigfrt, I paid tte expressman seventy-five cents, r paid an-
other the same. I had to hire a hack
to carry me about in Jersey
City, and that is twelve shillings m. re.
The total expense is (9, to say nothing of
my time, and worry, and a day lost."
"And you expect me to pay ?"
"You'll either pay or I'll bring suit and
send for the general baggage agent as a
witness."
"Well, your a crank P*
"No, I am not. I simply kick when imposed upon. Tbe road guaranteed to deliver me and my baggage in Jersey City at
a certain hour all right, unless accident
prevented.   There was no accident."
He stormed around for a while and tben
paid me, and I divided the money between
two cripples at the door. He said I was
the meanest man he ever saw, but it was a
lesson he will never forget.
At Elmira, once upon a time, I had to
wait for tbe western connection.
Ho one knew how long it would be, as
the other train was late, and to satisfy a
natural curiosity I stepped to the ticket
window and asked of the young man inside:
"Will you please tell me how late tbe
Erie express it."
He did not look up from his paper, and
I repeated the query. He moved a little
this time, and I was encouraged to say:
I hate to disturb you but I am anxious
to know."
He got up came to the window, and
palled it down as he said:
"I know nothing about it."
There were four men behind me waiting
to ask the same question. I invited them
to kick. They refused. Tben I invited
them to see me kick.- They accepted.
There was a door to the office and I opened
it. The young man was waxing his moustache in front of a glass.
* 'Isn't 1t a part of your duty to answer
civil questions ?''   I pleasantly asked.
"You git, or 111 put a head on you," ha
roared.
"How late is the Erie express?"
He rushed at me, and I gave him tbe
neatest black eye yoa ever saw. I was
wondering if I shouldn't treat tte otber
after the same fashion, when no officer of
the road stepped up and asked fnr au explanation. When I had given him one, be
turned to the young man and asked:
"Did you refuse to auswer his questions ?"
The viotim was silent.
"Very well; I'll see Mr. Abbott to-morrow and suggest the need of an immediate
change hereT**
A change was made. I have seen the
new man and be will answer questions
even about Jonab, if yoa wish.
THE _a_______HS^W_T~STORY.
Believes Ilia People Will Receive Justice.
[Blakely Hall lu the Pittsburgh Dispatch.]
I bad a talk in Washington to-day witt
the head chief of the Blackfeet Sioux, and
the acknowledged orator of the Sioux Nation.   The main points are giveu below.
Interviewing a savage who does uot
talk English is tedious work. The results
of tbe talk were pnt down and re-read to
tbe chief, John Grass, and indorsed by
him, with many corrections. People who
wish to know tte Indian side of the story
have it here ia well-authenticated words :
"My own tribe w hich I represent is big,"
said Chief Joha, slowly. -"Over 4,000
people ia all. I know how the Indians
feel. I bave traveled much among
Blackfeet, Humoapapa, Upper Yancton-
meis, the Minnecaiyos and the Sanzsrc.
There are 23,000 Iindians on tte big reservation."
The chief ft tall, straight as an arrow,
broad shouldered and grave. He has a
square forehead, an aquiline nose, and
piercing black eyes. His manner is slow
and deliberate. Every statement was delivered with great impressiveness. Ho
did not make a single gestnre throughout
the talk.
"I eome of a line of Sioux chiefs," hs
said, "and unlike some of tte other representatives, I am striving to save a portion
of tte reservation, which ft really the
home of my people. tor many generations my forefathers have been buried in
the beautiful valley of the Moreau, wbich
belong by hereditary right to my band—
tbe Blackfeet Sioux. In tbis controversy
my people are appealing to me to save
tbeir homes. The people will follow as
tte chiefs lead in the matter. There will
be no tronble. The Indians do not fight
as tbey did once. Close rooms and too
much beiding together bave taken tbe
spirit oat of them. When tbey ate wild
meat and slept in tte teppees they was*
hardy and strong. Of late they are becoming lass and less powerful.   The In-
CHAPPED hands result from two causes. Too much alkali in tke
soap, which draws the natural oil from the skin, leaving it harsh,
dry, and liable to crack, or the fats, from which the soap is made,
are not properly combined with tiie alkali, so, from its greasy nature,
it is impossible to rinse off the soap after washing. Prof.. Leeds,
.Pk. D., Stevens Institution of Technology, says: "The Ivory Soap,
while strongly cleansing, leaves the skin soft and pleasant to the
touch, instead of harsh, uncomfortable, and liable to chap."
A WORD OF WARNING.
There are many white soaps, each represented to be "just as good as the' ."tmfff*
tiny ARE NOT, but like all counterfeits, lack the peculiar and remarkable qualities of
the genuine.   Ask for "Ivory" Soap and insist upon getting it.

dians are at least beginning to think for
themselves, tad in this direction their salvation lies."
"Are they satisfied with the way tbe
nation has treated them?"
"We believe now tbat the Great Father
intends to do what is right. It bl tte first
time that we have been allowed to come to
Washington and treat directly with the
Great Fatter. Heretofore the Indians
bave always had to act through oommis-
sionsers, even when here. The Indians
intend to meet the proposition ofthe white
people to bny the reservation half way, tf
good terms cau be made. We realize now
that it will bo impossible to keep such a
large tract of oountry as the reservation
for ourselves. It must be utilized. There
is no game left for the Indians.
"There have been no bufialo since 1884.
Parties of hunters from England and the
East have killed all tbe big game and left
ft to rot ia tte sun. A few deer aad antelope are left, but they are of no use except
in the tall, when their hides are good for
making moccasins.
"Concerning the present negotiations,
the Indians do not like the conditions of
the bill presented for ratification. We
own about 2,000,000 acres and can give up
a portion, say one-half, to the Government, but we must have something to say
■as to  whioh  portion  it  sball be.   The
T_d___ crofiUl __Xo_d *© f^-rm-m-ermty- tto -loot
of the land aad leave himself only tte arid
and unproductive portion. One dollar an
acre for tbe choice homestead land would
hardly pay us, even if tte United States
paid for the surveying, etc., because all of
the best portions would go off to settlers
at onoe, and the Indians, as usual, would
be pushed backward. The treaty of 1868,
which gave the Indians large tracts of
country, provided a yoke of oxen and a
sow for every family which located upou
the land and commenced farming. Each
family was to receive $100 worth of agricultural implements the first year, and $25
a year for tte throe succeeding years.
How nearly all of the Indians are located
upon farms and are entitled to all this,
but the Government bas not made any surveys, and so we cannot take ont our certificates of allotment aud claim wbat was
promised. Yoa seo tbe unfairness of tbis.
This treaty also promised schools and instructors for our children te a period of
20 years, but 10 years expired before any
school teachers were given to us. Tbe
Government owes us this additional 10
years' schooling.
"Io the treaty of 1876, by which tte
Black Hills country was taken from us,
tbe Government provided te oar subsistence for such a length as was required,
agreeing to furnish us with iatiu_s uu-°il
tbe Indians were able to support themselves. Under these two treaties we were
promised ox teams, ox wagons, implements, schools, annuity, goods and subsistence. Now along comes this new Sioux
reservation bill, wbich asks us for eleven
million of our acres, and in return it offers
us exactly what is already due and is our
right under existing treaties of the Government, with tbe solitary exception of a
loan of $1,000,000 wbioh it proposes to
place in tte Treasury at S per cent, interest
per annum. Of this income of $50,000 a
year, one half is to be expended te educational purposes, which, as I said, are already due us. Tbe other half is to be
divided among the people, whiob would
give us less than $1 a pieoe a year.
"This is tte magnificent opportunity
about which there has been so much talk.
It is not difficult to see that by it the Government gains 11,000,000 acres, while the
Indians gain practically nothing. We are
not opposed to disposing of our surplus
lands if a fair and reasonable price is paid.
We have faith in tte Great Father and in
his desire to do wbat is just to tte Indians,
and we recognize the power and intelligence of the whites. We are not as ignorant as we were teu years ago, and we
refuse now to have an unfair aot forced
upon us. We appeal to good white people to aid us."
"Wbere will you go if the reservation is
taken from you?"
"We have nowhere on earth to go,"
said the chief, promptly, "and tbe Indians
all realize it at last. Our hope is to learn
the secrets of greatness and success from
tte white man, and gradually get tte
power whicb he has of getting great things
out of tte soil. Indians and whites are
beginning to intermarry, and it is plain to
thinking men of my race tbat if we educate our children and teach tbem to be
good farmers and to intermarry among
the whites, we may agaiu become powerful upon tbe earth. There are now very
many cases of white men who have married Indian squaws, and the half-breeds
springing from these marriages are clearheaded, industrious and successful cattle
breeders and farmers. Tbere are very
few instances of fall-blooded Indians marrying wbite women, however, I know of
but one, a Presbyterian minister named
Lake Walker, who is a half-breed Santee
Indian, who married a white woman, a
teacher hi a Nebraska school. Miss Fellows, who married Sam Campbell, about
which yoa say tbere was much talk in the
papers, did not get a full-blooded Indian
for a husband. Campbell is a half-breed.
But the marriage of white men to our
squaws are very frequent, and the results
are good, because,'' said the Chief sedately,
"we have neyer allowed a bad white man
to live upon tbe reservation. If he's bad,
he disappears.
The Indians are very courageous, but
tbeir intelligence is different from that of
the white man. An Indian cannot jump
at a conclusion. Eaoh step must be argued before him, and carefully explained.
His head can hold but one idea at a time.
Tbis is because he lacks education. I believe that there an no Indians bat what
can be oivilized, and all of tta Indians
under SO years of age in tte Sioux reservation are now located on farms, engaged in
tiling tte soil and raising cattle. Tbe
older ones are the most troublesome.
They cannot adopt tte ideas of the white
man readily. They live iu tte past, wheu
the Indian was a power in tbe land,
"Tho Indians,'' continued the Chief,
" have been foole4 so much by the agents
that they have grown to bave a great *_m
of Government promises. When tn
Northern Paoiffc Railroad was put tbrougj
the reservation we were told that the con
pany only wanted a strip of land wid
enough lor the track to pass through thi
oountry, and this was repeated with man]
promises, until the Indians all believed it]
But after the track was laid we found tha
tbe road had opened up the whole lands <
the Missouri river, and that it was practil
oally the property of tte railroad.
''Tbe Indians are becoming Interested
in agriculture, but they need two thing
above all—grist mills and saw mills.   W
have raised wheat for two years, but we
| have no grist mills to carry It to, and all
of our houses are made of mud.   Of our
22,000,000 acres of land tbere is an endless
amount of timber, and if we bad a good
saw   mill  we  oould   build oomfortable
houses te our people.   If tbe Governmt&t
wonld pnt up a good grist mill for us and ,
another  mill for sawing tho  trees,  oorj
people would be much healthier and hap
pier.   We also need more schools.   I bavel
a good house and a good farm, aad the
life suits me, as it does any Indian willing
to work.   The land is rich aud produ

If the Government will help tbe Indiand
as it bas so often promised in past treaties,'
and carry out the present one in a satisfactory way, tte Indians wfll in ten yeara
be self-supporting, and tbe children who
are now being educated willbe man ano

The Woes of a Reporter.

Ooce the   managing editor of a  wal
known  San Francisco paper brought
young man to the city editor, and,  intro-|
ducing him, said that he was a gradual
of tbe state university, and desired to be i
journalist.    "Tes," said the young grade
ate, fl want to start in oathe Dotton
round of tte ladder aud work up," and hi
smiled with the deep satisfaction of hav^
ing already given the veteran journalist^
sample of his saw-mill resolution,
city editor said that he was glad to kne
that he had no objection to starting ia
tte bottom round.   There   waa nothiq
just then for bim to olimb after, bat if
would sit down and read  the paper fd
awhile something   might  tarn   up.    Is
about fifteen minutes something did turn
up.    Word came tbat a prominent mer-*
chant had failed.   The city editor told ti_4
young 'varsity to go to the merchant, apj
praise him of the rumor, with the assure
ance that he did not believe it, and la/
open the oolumns ot the paper for any e/
planation that he might make. Tbe youtf
graduate went oot with an elastio ste|
and returned in about ten minutes witt
spotted shirt and a pallid face.   A gentl
snicker went up from tte otter reporter
The city editor looked up from his i
and asked   what was the matter,
young graduate in a faltering voice
that he had been ruthlessly ejeoted,
carried part of the swinging glass with hi
as he came oat without bis hat.   The cif_
editor nodded a nod that might have been
to the stranger somewhat ambiguous, and
went on with his work.   The young grad-j
uate stood awhile near the desk seaking
with fright, and at a loss to know what tl
do.   He said finally, "What sball I dj
about it?"
"Do about it!" replied the oity editol
ia a business sort of way, "Why, write F
np."
"Wbat, write about me getting throwl
ont?" asked the graduate in great amazf
ment.
"Certainly," replied   tte   city editor^
emphatically.
The  astonished   young   applicant  foil
journalistic honors slid out of tte side,
door .and has never been heard ot sinoe. 1
He had mounted the bottom round and'
had fallen off.
