A SHORT SPEECH
by an Indian Chief In Reply to
a Government Agent
the bead chief
of Mille Lac brought all his warriors
to defend Fort Klpley Iu 1SC2 The
secretary of the Interior and the gov
ernor and legislature of Minnesota
promised these Indians that for this
net of bravery they should have the
special care of the government and
never be removed
A few years later a special agent
was sent from Washington to ask the
Ojlbways to cede their lands and re
move to a country north of Leech
lake The agent asked my help I
said
I know that country I have camp
ed on it It is the most worthless strip
of land in Minnesota The Indians are
not fools Dont attempt this folly
You will surely come to grief
He called the Indians in council and
said
My red brothers your great father
has heard how you have been wrong
ed He said I will send them an hon
est man He looked in the north the
south the east and the west When
he saw me he said This is the hon
est man whom I will send to my red
children Brothers look at me The
winds of fifty live years have blown
over my head and silvered it with
gray and in all that time I have never
done wrong to any man As your
friend I ask you to sign this treaty
Old sprang to his
feet and said
My friend look at me The winds
of more than fifty winters have blown
over my head and silvered it with
gray but they have not blown my
brains away
That council was ended

It Reached Its Full Glory In the Six
teenth Century
One of the most peculiar and inter
esting evolutions in historic fashion is
the growth and development of the
ruff In England This ruff began its
career as a humble little something
like a tuck running along the top of
the chemisette from shoulder to shoul
der You can see it grow in the
portraits of royal personages slowly
but surely like a great linen flower
opening its plaited petals from genera
tion to generation During the reign
of LTcnry VII it was scarcely more
than a budding excrescence but with
Henry VIII it had outgrown its tuck
stage to the extent of reaching up to
the ears and was beginning to sport a
mild flare Those were the days of
such strict sumptuary laws that in or
der to wear black geuiet you must be
royal to wear sable you must outrank
your viscount neighbor to wear mar
ten or velvet trimmings you must be
able to show an income of over 200
VI and Queen Mary merely fostered
the ruff without encouraging it to any
greater development But Queen Eliza
beth seeing in it possibilities for off
setting her red hair and clear skin
fanned it into vigorous life In the six
teenth century the ruff burst into full
bloom Men and women even tiny
princesses were overshadowed by the
stiff rays of the ruff on all great occa
sions Even over France Germany
and Italy it spread its white pinions
and held unquestioned sway until it
fell with the Roundheads

Swankers
A number of our contemporaries ap
pear to be somewhat exercised as to
the precise meaning of the word
swank Swank though usually
called by other names is the leading
characteristic of Englishmen French
men used to talk of perfidious Al
bion It was simply another way
of calling us swankers To swank is
broadly to make the thing that is not
seem as the thing that is London

knot was the short and witty line an
ardent lover dispatched to the idol of
his heart
But where the strangeness of the
matter comes in the girl replied I
shall not You may do as you please
