AN INDIAN PRINCESS. Toc-me-to-ne Was a Friend of Both B the Indians and the White |^p Men. From Gen. O. O. Howard's "Faff mous Indian Chiefs" in July St. Nicholas. I We called her Sarah WinnemucI ca, hut her real name was Toc-me-tof ne, which means shell-flower: Ilavo you ever seen these flowers growing in an old garden among their many cousins of the mint family? Well, Toc-me-to-ne loved them of all flowers best, for was she not herself a shell-flower? Her people were Plue Indians, and ^ they lived in every part of what is now the great Stale of Nevada. Toc-me-to-ne had a flower name, so she was allowed to (ako part in > the children's flower festival, when all the little girls dance and sing, holding hands and making believe I that Ihey are tin* very flowers for ' which thov are named. They wear their own flowers, too, and after they have sung together for a while one will dance off ??i the grass by herself while all the boys and girls look on ami she sin^s: Jl T am a daisy gold and white I Somebody catch me?me! The grown-up people watch, too, ( as their children play, and Toc-meto-ne was never happier than when, light as a bird, she danced and sang her shell-flower song: See me! sec me, a beautiful flower Give me a hand and dance. Then after plays and dancing the children had all sorts of good things to eat, and the flower festival was over for a year. Only three times did Toc-me-to-ne take part in the flower festival, for ? when she was quite a little girl her grandfather, Chief Winnemucca, took his family and went to live in California, and when they came back she was almost grown up. ller grandfather was very fond of! her and called her sweetheart, so she was sad and lonesome indeed when ! he left her and went to the happy spirit, land ;but she did not forget A his last words to her before he went. "Sweetheart," he said, "do not forget my white brothers; be kind to them and they will he kind to you and teach you many things." In California the old chief gave to his grandchildren new names?Natchez, Lee, Mary and Sarah, and Sarah learned to speak fairly good | English. Later, when she came to Pyramid lake, she played with Mr. Ormsby's children and learned to speak better English. Besides this Mrs. Ormsby taught her to cook and sew and to do housework. , When Sarah was 1o years old she made a long 500-imle journey to California once more with her brothers and sister and her grandmother. I lev brothers took care of cattle cor good Mr. Scott, who had known and loved Chief Winnemucca, and he gave them good wages, several fine horses, and two ponies for Sarah and Mary to ride. The sisters had always ridden bareback like Indian men, but 1 when Christmas came Sarah was" surprised to find a beautiful Mexican side-saddle from her brother Lee, ami she learned to ride like the white ladies, and was very proud and happy. Now the Piules always would wan' dor about. They lived by hunting and fishing, not by farming, so they moved from place to place wherever i there-?was game. When they were in the mountains rough white settlers came to Pyramid lake and caught almost all of the fish with nets, so that there were no fish when the Indians returned. This made the Indians angry, and so trouble began. All this time Sarah was in California. Tier father, Chief Winnemucca 1 Second, and her mother were in Nevada, and she often heard good news from them, but one spring when she I t was 17 years old tv.*o Indians came bringing the news from her father that lie was in (he mountains and wanted all his children to come to him, bul especially J^arah. 1 Starting on their ponies they be- , gan I he journey, r?<ting beside the 1 wagon where the grandmother rode. Tt took 25 days to r-.tch Carson city, . but here I heir father and mother met I them, and next day all went to see . Gov. Nye, whom Sarah (<>Id in F.ng- , lish what her father, ?ve chief, want- . ed to say. Gov. Nye was very jolly and LTood, | and when he knew how things really < ^ were he told the white settlers ,iol i to inlerlero with lite Indians, and) sent soldiers from I he fort l<> drive I he rough men :iway* so Gov. Nye and Chief Winnemucca became good friends, as they never could have been but for little Toc-me-to-ne and v"' i her bright interpretations. For tlie next, yer.r Sarah tall IjdI li Piute ami English, ami sett many little troubles. She was eal friend both hy the Imlians and s diers, ami her father and she thou; often of old Chief Winneiuucc words and kept peace with tli white brothers. Louisiana's Proposed Forest La^ If the legislature of Louisiana p ses the forestry law proposed by C5 ernor Hlanehard of that State, n said to have the support of the larg timber owners, it will bo the in advanced step yet taken by u State to regulate trinber cutting private lands. By the terms of proposed statute, the cutting of tn under 12 inches in diameter, ft feel from the ground, will not permit led. The law does nol ap] lo those, who, in good faith, wish clear (he land for agricultural p poses, or who need the timber on I ground for roads or ditches, or case of :in owner or tenant who u (lie wood for domestic purposes. The lumberman will be required fell his trees in a way to cause 1c damage to young timber, and I refuse must not be left where presence will invite fire or olherw endanger the small trees. The pen tv provided for violations of the p posed law is a fine of $2;> to .$) for each offense, ami imprisonnu may be added. Each tree wrongf ly cut will constitute a separate fense. The proposed law not 01 delimits offense sand names pen ties, but also sets forth the rcas< why such a law is thought advisal Timber is becoming scarce, it sa and ought not be needlessly wast Forest destruction will carry with other evils besides dearth of wo It will cause destruction, soil eroisi and increase floods and doughts, the damage of tne whole people. 'I forest ought not be wholly cut do\ the proposed law further says, cause (hey assist in obstructing ( aslrous tornadoes. The supreme court of Maine eently ruled that that Stale n lawfully restrict the clearing of ] vately-owned forest land, if the pi lie would be injured by such cle ing. Louisiana's proposed law g< still furl her in I he same direction si follows the lines of the opinion r dered by the Maine supreme court, is worthy of note that the two St a which are tirst to take this advam stand in forest protection are fifti hundred miles apart and have f ests not at all alike in character, d ferent soils, climates with few poi in common, crops of wholly diffen kinds, geography and topography opposite extremes, yet each reali the immense importance of its fore and how essential their protection to the continued prosperity of people. The Wise Young Man. It was a wise young man who pa ed before he answered the wid who had asked him *> guess her a "You must have some idea alx it," she said, with what was inlei ed for an arch sidewise glance. "I have several ideas," he adn ted with a smile. "The only Iron is that I hesitate whether to mi you ten years younger on account your looks or ten years old on count of your brains.'1 Then, while the widow smiled ?i blushed, he took a graceful I speedy leave.?Youth's Companio Intensified Regret.
