Congressman Everett of. Massachusetts
illustrated a point in his mulctcn speech with
the following story : There was u congrega
tion hi England once that wanted to procure
new h.ymn books , but they were very poor
and could not afford to l > ay for them nt the
ordinary prices. They understood , how
ever , that a certain ( 'runt advertising house ,
a business housu that .inailu patent medi
cines , was willing to furnish them hymn
books nt u penny .each if they would allow
some advertisements to bo placed in the
books. They thought tlmt would bo no
suecial harm , that tliey might have a few
paces of advertisements bound up with
Watts and Doddndge. _ Accordingly they
agreed to the proposition. .i.'JIio books cumo ,
duly printed , , and thcy.got down to the

An old and popular , irlsli clergyman had a
disagreement with one of his parishonors ,
who was an extremely refractory character ,
of great wealth but of low origin , vulgar
Imblts and abusive tongue. Upon hearing
from a third party.that his ancestry had
been spoken of disagreeably by this rich
boor the old parson , borrowing n scriptural
metaphor , exclaimed :
"Why , sir , my father would not have sot
him with the dogs of his flock. "
This remark reached the cars of tlio nabod ,
who Immediately repaired to the clergyman
and demanded an apology. The good old
man listened puttantiv to the ravings of his
parishioner and closed the discussion with
the remark :
"Did I really say that my father would not
have sot you with his dogsi I was wrong ,
sir j I boltovo ho would. "
"Your husband preached from the same

The Omaha hus issued its saml-iinmml

"Building and loan associations , " says the

Uthor Incident ! .
Young-Man-Afraid was always the
firm and unwavering friend of the gov
ernment and the whites. The following
incident proved his friendship : In Sep
tember , 1875. during the exploration of
the Black Hills , 20,000 , of the SI j x na
tion were at Climlron creek , Nebraska ,
twenty-live miles from Fort. Robinson ,
the nearest military post. There was
being hold a general council of thu
Sioux with a United Slates commission
sent from Washington to treat with the
Indians for the purchase of thu Black
Hills. Anumir the commission wore
General Terry and Senator Allison of
Iowa. Toptotcettho commission there
was present but one company uf soldiers ,
Captain Egan'a troop of the Second cav
alry , numbering about fifty men.
On the second day of the council tlioro
suddenly appeared from the direction of
the Black Hills a party of mounted In
dians numbering 1)00 ) warriors in full
war rogalin , under the leadership of the
famous northern chief , Little Big Man.
Ho announced that by an old division of
the hunting grounds , the Black Hills
had been apportioned to the northern
Sioux , and that , ho had been sent down
from the north by Sitting Bull , not to
soil the Black Uilla , but to kill
the white commissioners. On this
announcement Captain E > ran at once
placed his company immediately in
the rear of the commissioners' tents ,
with their carbines loaded. Little
Big Man iniiued lately stationed
hia warriors in , the rear of
Egan's men , whom they outnumbered
boven to one. Captain Eguii at this
move ordered his lirst sergeant to cover
Little Uig Man with his carbine and at
the signal from the Indian chief to fire.
This was the tableau , with the commis
sioners experiencing u rapidly increas
ing atlacit of ague. The tableau was
now changed by the appearance of
Young-Mun-Afraid with a large number
of warriors , also in full \var rig. Ho
forced , or wedged , his men in between
the northern warriors and the cavalry ,
then addressing Little Big Man , baid :
"My friends from the northeast , look
at ino. I urn Man-Afraid , chief of the
Oglallas. You are now on the hunting
grounds of the Oglullus und Brules.
Those white men come from the Great
Father on a mission of peace. They are
under our protection. If you light them
you must also light us. I have no more
to bay. " The light did not come oil' ,
Little Big Man and his warriors di upi
pcared us rapidly to the north as they
had come. Man-Afraid had saved the
commission.
During the Indian war that succeeded
the following year , 1870 , by reason of
the inllux of whites into the Black
Hills , und which resulted in the Glister
mussacro and the death of many a Black
Hiller in 1870 and 1877 , while Red Cloud
and many of the agency Indians aided
the Indians by send ing arms and warriors -
riors north and attacked the Black
Hills settlers , Young-Man-Afraid and
his immediate band never wavered in
their friendship for the whites. It was
through his aid und friendship , with a
a few others , that the government was
enabled to keep the Indians during tlio
succeeding years in check at Pine Ridge
without the aid of.troops , and otfset Red
Cloud nnd other nostilcs in their warlike
attempts. And , finally , it was through
the aid and inlluenco of Younir-Man-
Afraid , in January , 1SU1 , that wnat
promised to ho a disastrous Indian war
was averted. Should trouble again arise
with the Sioux nation
i Youny-Man-
Afraid would bo missed.

Leo was never a great talker except
under ono condition , and that was when
he hud young- ladies to entertain , for
then his natural gallantry got the bettor
of him , and ho was a churiuini : compan
ion , though not what might ho called
loquacious , and ho did not care to talk
of the war , preferring to choose other
topics. It uas in cump , however , that
ho so far yielded to the desires of a
couple of fair visitors as to spin u yai n.
He hud invited two young ladies , cousins
of his , to dine with him , und it wus to
them and their persuasion that ho told
tlio story of the "Two Confederate
Scouts , " which a writer in the Phila
delphia Times who know the great eon-
federate intimately declares to bo the
only war story over told by him.
Carefully arranging his napkin1 on the
table in front of him and bitting per-
fectiy erect in his chair , as was his cus-
torn , General Leo said : "When this war
is over you will hoar u great deal of
praise given the leaders of the armies ,
and in the attempt to do them honor the
private boldior will -to a certain extent
bo overlooked. This is unfortunate ,
since bomeof the noblest and inostdarlni ;
deeds of the war wore done by privates
on botli sides. I was once in absolute
need of positive information us to the
movements of the enemy. My rogtilur
scouts wore out , BO I had to delect from a
regiment of men who were familiar
with the section of the country , if not
with their mission. Two able-bodied
und intelligent men wore sent to me , to
whom I intrusted the dangerous tusk of
crossing the river and going into thu
neighboring villugo to ascertain from
stragglers the. coveted information.
They made the trip successfully and re
turned the next noon , not only with thu
facts but with thu trans nnd effects of
four union soldiers , which they obtained ,
in a manner creditable to the coolest
and bravest men in either army.
"After ferreting out the becrets of the
enemy they started on the return trip ,
but wore 'detained by a terrific rain
storm of several hours' duration , which
forced them to shelter until night.
When they reached the river they
found to their chagrin Unit It was too
much swollen to be crossed in a cunoo ,
nnd the only thing to do was to make a
bed of the pine tags on thu ground and
sleep until morning , when they would
proceed unmolested. But they hud
reckoned without their host. Thu
onemy'u picket , who had also been
driven to shelter by the ruin , wore out
early next morning investigating , nnd
bcoing fresh trucks btispcetoU bomuthlng
wrong. Fiveof them started on the
trail , plain in the fmft earth , and soon
came upon the sleeping scouts. Pooling
confldont of having tholr prisoners
secure they thought to have eonm
iunocont fun with them and procoododf
to jab them In the back with the points V | .
of their bayonets nnd requested them to
coma out of the rain.
" 'Hollo , Johnny , what are you dolnff
sleeping out hero In the wet like this ?
You will take cold. Come on with us
out of the damp. ' .
"But the sleeping confederates could
not bo nrouscd , und the sentinels , hud n
big luugh over It , particularly so when
ono of them would partially turn over
and groan out , 'Oh , stop thutl What nro y Pt
you iioklng mo for ? It Isn't time for
reveille yet , ' as if ho thought ho was lu
his own camp pafo uud sound. Just In
the midst of tholr irrontost outbreak the
scouts , with the uglllty of wild ntilmnla ,
sprung from tholr uouchos and with tholr
pistols shot down thu two front men ,
then us quickly dropped the other two
as thu fifth miin hastily rotrouled , leav
ing his gun behind him.
"When the scout-- ) heard the federal
pqimd advancing on thorn they were too
close to ndmitot retreat , so they resorted
to Rtrutogy ami feigned sleon , nrruneing
between them that at a given signal uatli
should rlso und lire on dllTorcnt men ,
taking thorn HO by surprise Unit the
others could bo shot also before they
could get their guns up. The trick
, vorkod perfectly , and to it those man.
not only owe tholr necks but the valua
ble information for headquarter * and
four good Snider rillos aiid warm over
coats.
" 1 do not bollovo that any deed of the.
war surpassed this in coolness uud
bravery. "

Wild Hog is the name of a Cheyenne
chief , albeit he Is a chief without a tribe.
About fourteen years ago his nuino was
known all over the United States , and
for weeks millions of po ; > plo lopkud , lu
the morning papers dally to see what ho.
was doing. For u time ho filled western
Kansas and Nebraska with terror. Now
ho resides at Pine Rtdgo agency , writes
a correspondent to the St. Louis Globe-
Democrat , and is ono of the poorest und
most dilapidated Indians on the reserva
tion. In January , IS7D. Wild Hog and
the tribe of ( Jhoyumio Indians of which ,
ho was chief , were removed to In
dian Territory. Becoming dissatisfied
with their new homes , the broke outtuul ,
under the leadership of Wild Hog ,
struck out nurthuard through Kansas
and Nebraska. Many depredations were
committed on the way. The Indiana f
killed about fo.ty citizens , outraged tea
women and destroyed nearly $40,000 ,
worth of property. Wild Hog always
claimed thut this deviltry wus the work
of a few young bucks who were beyond
control , and that they escaped to the
reservation. During tlio flight
northward the United States
army was always about ono day
behind the Indians. Finally , Wild
Hog and about 200 warriors , together
with their women and children , went "l
into i Fort Robinson and surrendered. In- j
dueomonts : were olTorcd the Indians to
return to Indian Territory , but they
refused to do so. Finally they were dis
armed , but in the effort to do so several
boldiors and moro Indians were killed.
Wild ) Hog was put in irons and confined
in i tlio guard houso. The other Indians ,
including i tholr wives and childrenworo
confined in a long , low building , which
had 1 previously been used as a barracks.
Upon their continued refusal to go back
peuceubly j to Indian Territory , an
effort was made to subdue them by
starvation. They were deprived of food ,
water and fuel and closely guarded. But
they were tough , uud oven after several
days , which must have boon ones of
siilfering , were still obdurate. It was
supposed that they were completely dis
armed , but in some manner they had
been able to retain a few revolvers.
After a few days of bcemlngly quiet
subjection the vigilance of tlio soldiers
was in a measure relaxed , and the
guard reduced to six in number.
Suddenly , in the night , those-
were shot down , every ono ol
thorn t being either killed outright
or disabled. The Indians then rushed
out and lied up Soldier Creek canon.
The breaks and hills of Pine Ridge were
about ' half a do/.en miles away , and it
: was the hope of the Indians to reach
them before the bleeping soldiers could
overtake them. It was a wild race
across the ieo and bnow. Many of the
Indians were barefooted and loft u trail
of blood. Encumbered with their
women and children they made slow
progress.
The garrison , aroused by the shots
thut destroyed the guards , w'oro soon la
pursuit. Captain Weasel of the Third
cuvulry was in command. They cumo
upon the Indians in u little ravine , or
coolie , about two miles north of the fort.
They made a htuud and fought bravely ,
but were without arms and the rillos of
the , cuvulry made short work of them.
After . the soldiers hud exhausted all
tholr , ammunition there were yet u few
live Indians , and those were charged
upon und cut down with the sword.
Wild Hog'a tribe was entirely wiped
out. Not a man. woman or child wua
left of the entire bund. But Wild Hog
was sufoly locked up in the guard house
ut Fort Rjbinson uud thut is how ho
comes to survive a chief without a
tribo.
