Stopping the "Fire Wagon."
When the first railroad was laid orer
the western plains and the cars begau
running to Sau Francisco the lndiaus
viewed the locomotive from the hill
tops at a distance, not daring to come
nearer the "fire wagon." A train of
cars was to them "heap wagon, no
boss." An Apache chief gathered a
party of warriors in Arizona and went
several hundred miles to see the ter
rible fire wagon that whistled louder
than the eagle's scream and poured out
dense black smoke. W. M. Thayer says
Jb his "Marvels of the New West"
that the redskins grew holder and once
attacked a tire wagon, expecting to
capture It. When they failed ar-1
many were injured they said. "Fire
wagon bad medicine!"
The Indians stretched a lariat across
the track, breast high, each end being
held by thirty braves.
Wben the engineer first saw it he
didn't know what on earth was thh
matter," said the narrator, "but in a
minute more he burst out laughing.
He caught hold of that throttle, and
he opened her. out.
"He struck that lariat going about
forty miles an hour, and he just piled
those braves up everlasting promiscu
ous." The Cabal.
The term "cabal" as applied to se
cret factions of any kind had its rise
In England about 1GC7, being first ap
plied to the cabinet of Charles II. and
formed from the initials of the cabi
net members' names Lord Clifford,
Lord Ashley, the Duke of Bucking
ham, Lord Arlington and the Duke
of Lauderdale C. A. It. A. L. Since
that day it has been customary, in all
English speaking lands at least, to ap
ply the name to any secret conclave,
especially In politics.
The Way She Saw it.
"You must not mock people. Hazel.
Once upon a time, the Bible says, a
crowd of little children mocked a good
man named Elisha, and two bears
came out of the forest and killed for
ty-two of them."

their mothers?" Newark News.

Women on Warships
In the British navy of Nelson's day
It was not uncommon for wives to live
aboard men-o'-war with their sailor
husbands. Scarce one ot England's
"walls of oak" in Nelson's time but
had some woman aboard who braved
the perils and hardships of the sea in
ordoc to be with her husband. In
nearly every one of Uie twenty-seven
line of battleships under Nelson's
coMiuand in the great battle of Traf
alpir was one or more women, wives
of sailors. Surprise may be expressed
that English men-of-war's men were
permitted to have their wives aboard.
It was only by special perniisMim of
the admiralty that this could be done
and then permission was granted
somewhat in the light of a penance for
sanctioning the pres gang system,
which was largely In vogue at that
time. Men were seized in the streets
and other public places and compelled
to serve in British warships liocuuse
"the king needed men." Some of the
men thus seized had political influence
and. being unjustly compelled to serve
in the navy, were permitted to have
their wives share their involuntary
servitude.
What the World Lost.
'It was the worst calamity that ever

"I had written a modern society novel,

"What a burning shame that was!"

WIT OF THE INDIAN
The Dignified Red Man Has a
Keen Sense of Humor.
STORIES OF STANDING BEAR.
The Race the Old Chief. Was Willina
to Run Against a Gevernment At
torney A Gallant Brave and His
Mirror An Invisible Bride.
The impression prevails widely that
the Indian lacks the saving sense of
humor "that most characteristic of
all American qualities." To the cre
ating aud the spreading of this im
pression many recognizable traits of
Indian character bare Indisputably
contributed his ancestral pride, bis
exclusiveness, his gravity of face and
dignity of manner In public.
Nevertheless an injustice Is done
him, for among no primitive peoples
Is the sense of humor keener or more
spontaneous and kindly.
Years ago I was conversing with a
group of children of the Omaha tribe.
They were on their way to a rescrva-'
tion school, and directly in their path
lay a swamp an eighth of a mile
wide, and straight through this they
were required to wade twice a day.
"It Is too bad," I remarked. "Cau
you not go around the swamp? Yonr
feet will be wet, and yon will be un
comfortable and possibly ill."
"Oh," cried a girl of about twelve
years, her dark eyes dancing with
merriment, "we walk over the $1,200
bridge."
They all laughed at this. What
could it mean? I saw no bridge; there
was no bridge to be seen. It made
them merry to see me mystified, and
I heard them laughing and chatting
as they went through the water and
mud. Afterward I discovered the hu
mor in the remark. Some years pre
vious to that time the government had
appropriated $1,200 to build a bridge
over this swamp, but somehow the
money had vanished Into somebody's
pocket aud the work was not done.
One evening I saw a gallant young
brave making his way swiftly over
the prairies of the Omaha reserve,
lie was dressed in all his finery, and
at his side dangled a small mirror.
Manifestly he was an ardent lover.
This I should hare surmised from hir
dress and eager haste, even if I had
not known him. As he was a friend
of mine, I had inside information of
his hopes and purposes; also I ven
tured to stop him for a moment, pre
cious as I knew him time to Ik?.
"That mirror at your side." I re
marked, "is to give opportunity for
Prairie Flower to discover how lovely
sno is, is it not; ' no considered a
moment, and then, with a twinkling
eye. he replied:
"Xo. Maybe so she will talk too
much to me. and then I will look into
my mirror to see how tired I am."
This certainly was the humor of ab
surdity. Examples of Standing Itear's humor
I could give almost without number.
During the trial of his ease before
Judge Dundy the contention of the
government attorney was that an In
dian is not a person within the mean
ing of the law. This puzzled the old
chief greatly. It also amused him.
One day at my table he was vigor
ously plying a knife aud fork when
suddenly he paused In his eating, lift
ed up his hands, and, a humorous
smile lighting up his noble, storm
scarred face, he remarked: "The attor
neys say I am not a jwrson. But I
can use a knife aud fork. Does a bear
do that? If he. the attorney, is .1 per
son I am one also. We lnith eat with
knives and forks. Indeed. I think I
can use them faster than he can. If
lie wants to race me eating I am
read-." Wc all laughed at this. When
we were quiet Standing Bear added.
"That Is, I will ruu au eating race
with the attorney if he will pay for
the beefsteak."
The first public address Standing
Bear ever made was given iu my
hurch. In the course of It while he
was pleading for assistance he address
ed various classes of people present
the men. the women, the clergy, the
business men, the children. When he
was pleading with the women be said:
' I appeal to you because you are brave
aud patient. Whenever you have any
thing hard to do you never rest until
It i done." This was a gallant senti
ment worthy of a chief. But Frank
1-1 Flesche, who was interpreting, ren
dered the sentence thus: "You women
are patient. When there Is anything
hard to be done we mcu let you do it."
This was so true to Indian custom
that the audience laughed.
Standing Bear was puzzled. As he
stood sileut a moment wondering what
mistake he had made Bright Eyes, the
beautiful Omaha maiden, stepped for
ward au! saicV "My brother Frank
has made a mistake in interpreting the
chiefs thrttiglit." Then she gave the
proper rendering.
The Chicago papers took liberties
with Standing Bear's name, one of
them referring to him constantly as
Upright Brain. When this was ex
plained to the chief he took the matter
with great good nature.
"What does it matter?" he remarked,
his face beaming. "I am all tied tip
with names. I am like a pony tangled
In his lariat. Father Hamilton, the
Presbyterian, calls mo elder. The
Episcopalian clergyman calls me ward
en. For I am au officer in the little
church In our village, where both these
good men preach. And now the papers
call me what Is It? Yes, Brain. No
matter. The Judge In Omaha says I
am a person, and that satisfies me."-

Lisbon's Names.
Lisbon, the capital of Portugal
sometimes claims to have been found

wanderings. But, according to the
London Chronicle, there is no doubt
that TJIyssippo Is only a fanciful ver

sorbed and municipalized Olisipo it be

In the "Island of Stone Momey" Dr.
W. H. Fnrnlss tells of the female fash
ions of the natives of Tap, the most
westerly of the Caroline Islands, and
expresses wonder that the women art
so rarely burned to death.
"In the first place,- their skirts are
composed or four or are layers of
dried leaves and strips of bast and are
so voluminous and distended that they
stand out all around the body, outrivai-
ing the old fashioned hoopsklrts. Even
when sitting down the women are sur
rounded by a mound of veritable tin
der. In the second place, they are for
ever striking matches 'to light their
cigarettes; nay, worse even, they carry
about with them, for the sake of econ
omy, the glowing husk of a cocoannt,
and neither to matches nor husk do
they give the slightest heed, striking
the one recklessly over their own skirts
or absentmindedly resting the other
gainst the skirts of their neighbor,
Xet m spite of thtr "utter recklessness
never did I see a skirt catch fire. One
month at longest Is the life of a wom

and a brand new one plaited, with no
tedious fittings at the dressmaker's
nor depressing bills to pay."

There was spirited rivalry between the

On Thursday, June 2a 1870. at 4:45
p. m., the Robert E. Lee steamed out
of New Orleans. The Natchez follow
ed fire mbivtes later. The race had
been advertised In advance and was
now awaited with gathering interest
at all the river towns. Large crowds
were assembled at Natchez, Vkksburg,
Helena and other large places.
Between Cairo and St. Louis the
Natches afterward claimed to have lost
1 seven hours snd one minute on account
of a fog and broken machinery. The
Robert E. Lee, however, was not de

three minutes ahead of the previous
record established by her competitor.
Fifty thousand people from the house

Charlatan's Elixir of Life.
Cagliostro. the famous eighteenth
century charlatan, was the hero of
many strange stories. A great lady
who was also, unfortunately for her-
Lself, an old one and was unable to re
sign herself to the fact was reported
to have consulted Cagliostro, who gave
her a vial of the precious liquid (his
"wine of Egypt"), with the strictest In
junction to take two drops when the
moon entered its last quarter. While
waiting for this period to arrive the
lady who desired to be rejuvenated
shut up the vial iu her wardrobe and
the better to insure its preservation in
formed her maid that it was a remedy
for the colic.
Fatal precaution! By some mis
chance on the following night the maid
was seized with the very malady of
which her mistress had spoken. Re
membering the remedy so fortuitously
at hand, she got up. opened the ward
robe and emptied the vial at a draft
The next morning she went, as usual,
to wait on her mistress, who looked at
her in surprise and asked her what she
wanted. Thinking the old lady had
bad a stroke in the night, she said:
"Ob. madam, don't you know me? I
am your maid."
"My maid is a woman of fifty,' was
Ihe reply, "and you"
But she did not finish the sentence.
The woman had caught a glimpse of
her face in a mirror. The wine of
Egypt had rejuvenated her thirty
years!
Cagliostro's valet was as great a
rogue as he and posed equally as a
mystery monger. "Your master," said
a skeptic to him one day, "is taking us
all in. Tell me, Is it true that be was
present at the marriage at Cana?"
"You forget, sir." was the reply, "I
have only been in his service a cen
tury." A Dining Hint.
