"Tho Indian Las a queer woy of de termining whether or not a man is game, Judging from an experience f hud some ycurg ngo," enid a lunn who once made nn educational tour of the west,' "aud the same little expcrlvuco convinced me that the Indian's system of reasoning along this hue is hy no means a bad ono. "Stories had been told which brought about a clash between the Indian and a white mau. The two men originuHy had nothing agulust euch other. Tho ludiun had a bad reputation-thut is, be had the reputation of being n bad mau, a desperate, dangerous fellow, who would fight a buzzsuw at the drop of a lint. Tho white niau who blew into tlie section lind in some way gained a similar reputation. Ile was said to be a dangerous churncter and a mun who had never been whipped. We concluded that we would have some fun. We met the Indian and told him a lon;* story about his new rival and reminded him that his laurels were in danger and succeeded in getting his pride stirred, and his Indian blood was som up to thc fightlug point. Soou after this wc met the while mun, aud wc filled him up with thc same kind of talk. He said he would take cure of the Indian all right in due time, and. in short, would make him take to the. woods. Shortly we met the Indian ngaln mid told him thc desperate white mun wns nftcr his Bcnlp. Ile smiled and shook his head. "A few duys later we were talking to tho white mau when tho Indian came hp to Join thc group. He had spotted the stranger and knew him by light. Without saying a word to him he walked up within arm's reach and struck the while innn In the face with n rough, heavy glove. Ile paused for a few seconds und hit him nguiu. 'Ugh!' he exclaimed ns he wheeled around and walked away. The white man looked at thc Indian in amazement, but made DO show of resent men t. Lutcr in tho day when we asked the 'Indian why lt was that he did not follow up tho insult with blows bc told us the white man WUB a coward. In explain ing how he knew lt he said the man's 'Jaw dropped' when he struck bim in the face tho second time with the glove and that this, with thc lud?an, was an unfailing Blgn of cowardice."-New Or leans Times-Democrat.

Devil's Iamb, Devil's Rock and Dev il's Elbow represent the head fireman of the lowor regions. Bog island was onco Inhabited by a thrifty number of those domestic adjuncts, which ran wild and lived on thc snakes and mice, which wore plentiful. Mouse island was once infested by these rodents, as are most of tho other islands. They aro a wood species aud do not trouble hu man habitations. Just where they came from no ono knows. They are found on Islands fur out from the shore. Squirrel island was once the homo of a large colony of gray squirrels which came down to the seashore every seven years from tho Inland woods. Red squirrels are found on most of the Is lands and arc not desirable residents, for they 9-efcr to nest in unoccupied cottages. Haddock islaud was so named from this useful little fish, which are caught in large quantities about its shores. Old Mau and Old Woman were named by the fishermen from a supposed re Semblance, llarpoou island from this Implement, which was dug out of tho sand there; Killickstone island because it contained these stones for thc fisher men's usc, Hungry island because of its barren condition. Gull island ls tho home of this sea bird, nnd ita eggs, which abound there, were often gath ered for eating purposes until Uncle Sam put a stop to lt; High island for its wooded head that looks out over the surrounding country; Cow island was once used aa a pasture, aud the animals were transferred in scows; Thief Island from a culprit who was captured there.
