Old Chief Rpd Cloml Gives
Name and Ble s > ing.
Last summer when young Will Jorj
don , son of Colonel Charles P. Jordon
of Rosebud Agency , S. D. , returned to
the reservation after spending six
months in Omaha attending a busi
ness colkge , he was welcomed in his
South Dnkota home as the son of the
white man who probably has more
influence over the Sioux Indians
than any other person.
But at the beginning of 1903 , when'
the same young man returned to-
Omaha .to finish his schooling , he left
the reservation not as Will Jordan
but as ' 'Red Cloud" being the lirst
person whom the old chief , Red < 'loud , ' '
permitted to be named alter himself
Readers of the World-Henild will j
probably remember the story which ( *
appeared in this paper some months j 2
ago of the romantic marriage of Colc '
onel Jordan and Wee Was Te , the ,
l
Sioux princess , and the interesting
family they have reared on the South
Dakota Indian agency , Young Red
Cloud is tne second son of this marS
riage , and according to the Indian j
custom , when IS years of age , was
given the Indian name by which he
will be known among the Sioux the
balance of his life.
It is customary among the Indians
to give the child a temporary name ;
the permanent name being given
them when 18 years old. But when c
the second name ia given , it must be 1
with the consent qf the warrior for
whom the young man is named.
c
Although , as the head of the Sioux
tribe , Red Cloud has of ten been asked
to permit a young warrior to use his
illustrious name , the old chief always
refused , insisting that in hia own c
time , and when he found one worthy
to bear the name of Red Cloud , he
would consent.
That time came last summer when
the infirm old chief paid his last visit
to Colonel Jordan , of whom he is very
fond.
At that time he made known hia in
tention of bestowing his name upon
the colouel's son , Will.
The ceremonies attached to the
transfer of names were performed on
c
July 4 , in the presence of thousands
of Sioux Indians and ended by the I
man , who had just received his ' 'war- j I
rior" name , persenting some cherish0
efl article of value to a friend. Younu ' -
Red Cloud gave away a apleneid pony
of. which he was very proud and fond ,
to a friend , and the cermoniea were
completed.
The accompanying photograph of
young Red Cloud was made while he
wore the "scalp coat" of the famous
Endian chief , Spotted Tail , a kinsman
of Wee Was-Te , Mra Jordan. There )
are no acalps of white persona used on
the coat , all of them being taken from f
Crow Indians during the many years
;
of war between that tribe and the
Sioux. Old Spotted Tail waa very .
proud of this evidence of hia bravery .
and prowess. ( Spotted Tail was kill
ed many years ago by Crow Dog ,
in a flt of jealousy. Crow Dog remains
i
on the reservation and is alive today. )
Juat how many "scalps were uaed in
malting the fringe , wWpb
down the sides and along the arms ,
cannot be * told , but undoubtedly *
great number of Crows went to death
before Spotted Tail finished the coat.
The young man will finish his busi
ness education in Omaha ( his regular
schooling was at the hands of a pri-
yate tutor whom Colonel Jordan has
kept in his family for years ) and then
return to the reservation to assist his
father in his store , the largest and
most interesting of the kind in South
Dakota or the west.

YANKEE.
A young doctor , wishing to make
a good impression on a German
,
farmer , mentioned the fact that he
had received a double education ,
as it were. He had studied home
opathy and also that he was a grad
uate of "a regular medical school. "
" Oh dot vas noddings , " said the
farmer. "I had vonce a calf wot
sucked two cows and he made noth
ing but a common schteer after
ill. " Ex.
An Indian owed a Blair mer
chant , and the other day he came
to pay , and wanted a receipt. In
rain the merchant told him a re
ceipt was unnecessary. "Me must
have to show me owe white man
nothing , " said the Indian. "Me
go to heaven , the Lord ask Indian
he pay debts. Indian says yes.
Lord asks him were is receipt.
What can Injun do ? Can't go all
over hell to look for you ? " He
sot the receipt. Herald.

The Greatest ol its Kind.
The excellent record of the"Mer-
jantile"is attracting1 much attent-
on. It now has in Nebraska over
seven thousand policy holders and
ver six million dollars of insur
ance in force. It has annually for
iiveyears on an average declared
o its policy holders a div-
.dend of 15 to 20 per cent ; that is ,
.t has saved in cost to its policy
liolders that much. There is no
nan but what would like to be in
business that would yield him 20
per cent profit. The Mutual In-
The Mutual Insurance people of
the state can be proud of the fact
that Nebraska has within its board
ers some of the very strongest
Mutual companies in the world ,
Many both farm and city whose poli-
cies are as good as gold anywhere
and the reputation of which goes
unquestioned. Among the number
none are better than the Farmers
Mutual DInsurancc Company and
The Nebraska Mercantile Mutual
Insurance Company , both of Lin
coln , and the Trans-Mississippi
Mutual iFire Association of Oma
ha , and our readers should carry
in these companies all of the insur
ance they can place with them up
to the full amount desired. No
person claims but that in case of
loss they are fairly treated and
when the amount is agreed upon ,
paid promptly. The Mutual In
surance Journal.
These companies arc represent
ed by I. M. Rice of Valentine. In
these companies together with the
German Mutual of Omaha he has
written thousands of dollars of in
surance for people in Valentine ,
Crookston , Cody , Merriman ,
Gordon , Wboklake and through
out Cherry Co. There has never
been a question as to the reliability
of these mutual companies and
those holding policies in them can
testify to the saving in cost of in
surance. There should be no dis
crimination against them because
they have saved thousands of dol
lars to policy holders , and insur
ance rates have been lowered 25
per cent by virtue of the existence
of these companies , in which even
those opposed to mutual insurance
have profited. They insure city
and farm property , school houses
and churches.
A newspaper man is an omcny
to bulletin board advertising on
general principles , but there are
occasions when a bulletin board
may bring better results than a
paper. The editor of an exchange
remarks that he observed one in

ago , which read : " B 4 U Buy

He went in and there was not a con

Tlie Kid Gambler.
One evening in September
I alighted from a train ,
That town I will remember
The slush , the jrloom ; the rain.
While huntingfor a lodging
In a pool hall I did step ,
And the sight that met my vision
1 never will forget.
Around a gambling table
Were men of everv degree ,
While from their midst a handsome
youth
Came stepping up to me ,
Saving I see you are a stranger
Won't vou come and have a game ?
[ am proprietor of this house
Jolly Kid Gambler by name.
Declining the youth's offer ,
I said I'd vatch a while ;
And then among those ruHians
He went bacic with a smile ;
Deal after deal the cards went round
Silver and gold he won.
Some exchanged dark glances
Others played silently on.
I'll open this jack for fifty
One of the ruffians spoke.
When the boy cried out I'll double
the bet. And win it or go broke ,
I say Kid you are cheating
Spnke up a sullen tough ,
I.'U tell vou now this kind of thing
las gone quite far enough. '
The vouth then in bis anger
Said he would rout the band ,
Jndertook to take the money
But a bullet staved his hand
A blinding flash of fire ,
A groan of deadly pain ,
And the jolly youthful gambler ,
Was numbered with the slain.
They took up their money , and rushed
out in the night ,
Left me alone with the dving boyj
And oh God what a sight.
He staggered to bis feet but once
Back on the table fell ,
Saving come quick lower stranger
My story to you I'll tell.
Somewhere I have a mother ,
O , find her if vou can
Twas for the sake of finding her ,
i stole the winning hand.
Tell her had she loved her child , '
As other mothers's do ,
[ never would have been here ,
* } tk yqy ,
To talk so of my mother
I know it is not right.
But stranger she deserted me
Ten years ago tonight.
With her I went out walking" ,
i This ni ht ten years ago
1 Ah then I was a little child ,
m And wrong t did not know.
She left me at a corner
Ah str.inger cant you see ?
Why I'm dying here alone
She never came back to me ,
They to-jk me to the poor house
But long I did not stay ,
They treated me so badly there
That soon I ran away.
Tell her I first tried honest-woik
But they said I was too small , and
then I learned to gamble ,
And opened up this hall.
But lately luck's been against me
And I wanted to find her so
That I stole the winning hand to
night ,
And stranger the rest you know.
I only stole the joker ,
And had they but let me play
I would have quit this reckless life ,
And lived the honest way.
His vcice grew faint and fainter
He tried ro raise his head ,
One long , long sigh escaped him
The gambling boy was dead.
We purchased him a collin
A small dark wooden box ,
O mother heart where are you
While moulds those golden locks

The Commoner , Mr. .Bryan's paper
will be especially interesting and in
structive during the present session of
congress. The action of this congress
will probably determine the issues up
on which the next presidential cam
paign will be fought. The Commoner
proposes to carry on a campaign of ed
ucation and organization to the end
that democratic' principles may
triumph.
In addition to the editorial depart
ment , which receives Mr. Bryan's per
sonal attention , the Commoner con
tains a Current Topic department ,
wherein a non-partisan discussion of
topics of timely interest and other val
uable information will fce found. The
Home Department is conducted by an
experienced woman who is widely
known as a writer of household topics
and who is an authority on the art of
cooking in all that the term implies.
This department alone is-worth the
subscription price. The other depart
ments of this paper are all interesting
and ably conducted , am ong which is a
summary of the world's news told in
narrative style , and Mr. . Maupm's de
partment Whether Common or Xot
contains original anecdotes' and wit ,
moral lessons in homely phrase and
verse , and appeals to old and young
alike.
The Commoner as a whole is clean.
entertaining and instructive , and its
rapid increase in circulation now
amounting to 140,000 is proof of tho
paper's strength and influence.
Arrangements have been made with
Mr. Bryan whereby The Commoner
can be supplied at a very low rate with
THE VALENTINE DEMOCRAT , both pa
pers for one year for SI.63. This offer
applies to both new and renewal sub
scriptions , and should be taken advant
age of without delay. All orders should

Congressman Holliday of Indiana
tells the Sentiriel's Washington corrc *
spo'.ident that he "takes-no stock in llm
talk that the tariff is the mother of
trusts. " On the contrary , he asserts
that "we would have had the same
trusts under a free trade policy. " .
Conceding for thd" sake of the argii-
nient that Mr. Holliday actually be
lieves what he says as to the existence
of trusts , he certainly cannot deny that
the tariff gives the trusts the oppor
tunity to extort higher prices from the
American consumer. This may be il
lustrated by the price of-borax. There
is a borax trust In this country and
likewise one in Great Britain. In Eng
land borax is selling at 2 % cents a
pound , with a profit to the trust. In
this country it is selling at 7 % cents a
pound. " The American tariff on boras
Is 5 cents a pound. 'There can bo no
possible explanation of the difference
except that the tariff wall enables the
American trust to exact this additional
5 cents from the consumer.
Nobody denies that most trust made
products are sold cheaper abroad than
at home. It was freely conceded be
fore the Industrial commission. John
W. Gates of the steel and wire trust
testified in November , 1S90 , that steel
and wire goods were sold cheaper to
foreigners than to American consum
ers. Charles M. Schwab , president of
the steel trust , testified in May , 1001 ,
that all kinds of manufactured goods
were sold cheaper for export than for
the home market. A. B. Farquhar ,
the agricultural implement man , said ,
"Certainly our manufactures are sold
much lower abroad. "
Why ? There can be but one answer ,
and that is that by excluding foreign
competition from our markets we have
enabled the trusts to monopolize them
and to put prices far above the point
'of reasonable profitsr Indianapolis
Sentinel.
