For IIIm Oivji Tribe by the Siuurtcnt Thief A in oaf the Crown All IudlanH who use horses are very fond of horse racing and not only raco their owu horses against one another but they race their own against those of other tribes and used to do this even In the wild era of the buffalo and of constant -warfare Even at that time friendly tribes and bauds joined in the two grand buffaio hunts of each year and after the hunting was over pitted the fastest horses of the various bands oue against the other At one time not so very long ago the Blackfeet had the very fastest horse that any one knew of the fastest horse of which anj one could tell or which any one had seen He was a source of wealth to the tribe for Indians are very fond of betting and this animal always won every thing that was bet against him You can Imagine how proud the Blackfeet were of this creature You can also Imagine how envious were the Stoneys the Crows the Sioux the Creeks and all the other Indians of the plains Stealing is considered fair between tribes and If it can be successfully done those savage people thiuk It very honorable even glorious The Black feet therefore kept the wonderful race horse In a tent at night They did not dare leave him out with their other horses They bought a string of bells at the Hudson Bay companys nearest fort put the bells around the horses neck tied him to a tepee pole Inside a big tepee and set four men to sleep In the tent with him This was the rule every night and on no night did the men forget to close the door of the tepee and cinch it tight with thongs of buckskin Whoever could steal that big white beauty of a horse had to be a very clever thief they thought but In truth they never dreamed that he could be stolen The smartest thief among the Crow Indians told his chief and the head men that he was going to try to get that horse away from the Blackfeet One evening he crawled through the grass to the tall bluff along the Bow river north of our Idaho I think was the locality where the Blackfeet had their camp He saw the noble horse led Into a certain tent and he saw the four watchers go In and close the door Night fell and ho crept down the slanting bluff Into the camp The only thing he had to fear was the barking of some dog If a dog saw or heard him and barked that would set all the other dogs barking and he would be obliged to run for his life Stealthily as only an Indian can move on his soft ly moccaslned feet this arch thief of the thieving Crow Nation crept into the Blackfeet camp He had to step over several sleeping dogs and he did not awaken one He came to the tent of the white horse He looked it all over He went to another tepee and took a travois from its side and carried It and set It up against the horses tent A travois is the Avheel less wagon the Indians use in the summer It is made of two long poles with the upper ends near together the lower ends spread apart and drag upon the ground You see by this description that if a travois is stood on end it can be made to serve as a sort of ladder Thus the arch thief of the Crows used the one he put up against the horse tent On it he climb ed to the top of the tepee and from there he got a view of the interior looking down between the tent poles that form the sides of the chimney hole He saw the horse dimly and even more dimly he saw the four men beside the horse all asleep He climb ed upon the tent poles he poised his body very nicely in the chimney open ing he dropped fairly and squarely upon the white horses back The instant he felt himself on the back of the beast his knife which was in his hand swept through the cord that tethered the horse His heels shot in against the horses sides the bells rang out sharp and clear and the horse snorted with surprise But the pres sure of the thiefs heels urged the ani mal forward and as he took one step the man reached out and slit a gash straight up and down through the fas tened door which was only buckskin The four Indians leaped to their feet but the horse and his captor were now out in the open ground and like the wind shot away from the camp The watchers ran and yelled the dogs barked the whole tribe rushed out of the tents nnd every man sprang to horse But what was the use There was no horse that could catch the ani mal and so they all turned sadly home again after a mad ride of a mile or two The thief rode In triumph home to the tents of the Crows and from that day his tribe owned the great white horse and his fame and their riches Increased From Julian Ralphs Stories Told by

Sergius Witte threw his arms about me and kissed me on the cheek said Coa ductor E P Therien who had the dis tinction of having received this Eu roian salutation from Russias m voy extraordinary to the peace confer ence a few days ago says a Boston dispatch to the New York American Conductor Therien Is himself a Eu ropeana Frenchman As an em ployee of the New York New Haven and Hartford railroad he had had charge of the special train which transported the distinguished foreigner from Newport to Boston after he had been Induced to leave the Mayflower and go overland to Portsmouth While relating the details of the incident re cently he said It Is the custom In Europe for men to salute each other by kissing al though in this country it appears strange I must say that I was sur prised but It was all right It was M Wittes manner of showing his ap preciation for the courtesies extended to him during his first ride on an American railroad All during the run from Newport to Boston the members of the party conversed in French I am a French man myself and understood all that was said perfectly In fact I talked with members of the party during the trip though not witli M Witte You can imagine my surprise then when upon reaching Boston tfle big Russian smacked me full on the cheek I did not know what to do for a moment The situation embarrassed me I have been among Americans so long that I have almost forgotten Eu ropean customs When I realized however the sincerity with which the salutation had been given by the Rus sian nobleman I felt greatly honored You see It all happened In this way When we stopped at Back Bay M Witte did not follow the other mem bers of the party to the elevator but strode off in the direction of the en gine When he reached the cab he mo tioned to Engineer J E Magoun and put his hand out for a handshake Ma goun leaned out of his cab and the two men shook hands The fireman was honored in the same way As M Witte turned to join his party I touched him on the elbow to direct him to the elevator and spoke to him In French It was then that he threw open his arms and with a hearty embrace kissed me on the cheek Conductor Therien is very popular on the Newport line He has a wife who says she does not care how many men kiss her husband PASTORS WHO LIKE WORK Building Fences Cleaning Streets and Carrying Mail at Winsted The Rev Newell M Calhoun

who profess they are unable to swim manage to glide through the water in a manner that suggests pro ficiency in the natatorial art says the New York Press Apparently they car ried no life preservers to keep them from sinking Now the secret has been revealed It appears that the surpris ing skill of the girls is due to a con trivance they carry up their sleeves The sleeves which are decidedly puffy
