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.
Mrs. Scrappington?Well, what i
you muttering about?
Mr. Scrappington?You accept
me after 1 had proposed to yon fc
times, didn't you?
"Yes."
"Served me right, confound i
fool soul!"?Smart Set.
