THE WILY RED MAN.
Some InatancDi of tb? I ii di? an*
QUICUOGM Of Wit.
Numerous Instances of the red man's
.quickness of wit nrc related by those
who have bad dealings with bim. A
Canadian chief wan looking idly on
while some Englishmen wore bard at
work improving property newly acquir
ed from the dusky tribe.
"Why don't you. work?" nskud tho EU
pervlsor of the chief.
"Why you no work yourself?" wne
the rejoinder.
' "I work beadwork," replied the whit*
man, touching bis forehead. "Hut corm
here and kill this cali' for me, ami I'll
give you a quarter."
The Indian stood still for a moment,
apparently deep In thought, and then
he w<mt 0ff to kill thc'calf.
"Why don't you finish your Job?"
presently asked the supervisor, seeing
the mau staud with folded arms over
tho unskinncd. undressed carcass.
"You say you give me quarter to
kill calf?" was tho reply. "Calf dead.'
Me want quarter."
The white man smiled and handed
the Indian an extra coln to go on with
tho work.
"How ls lt," asked the Englishman
one day after a series of such one sided

A white trader once succeeded In
Belling u lurge quantity of gunpowder
to one of this tribe on the assurance
that lt was a new kind that thc white
man used for seed and if. sown in es
pecially prepared loam would yield an
amazing crop. Away went the Indian
to BOW his powder and in his hope of
making money from his fellows waa
careful not to mention his enterprise.
When at last, however, ho realized how
he bad been duped he- held his tongue
for a year or more until the trickster
hnd completely forgotten thc occur
rence. Then he went to bis hoaxer's
store and bought goods on credit
amounting to a little mora than the
price or tho planted gunpowder. He
had thc reputation of a good payer, and
his scheme worked easily. When set
tiing day came, the creditor called
promptly. -
"Right," said ibo Indian slowly -
"right, bnt my powder not yet sprout
ed. Me pay you when me reap bim."

A few months ago thc son of a rall

influcnco given a position of some im
portance on a large railway. He was
fresh from Cambridge, and In the or
ders which he from timo to time Issued
to the men under him always made use
of the longest, most unusual words.
This habit lcd to some rather expen
sive blunders, and, the matter coming
before the general manager, ho wrote
tho young official the following letter:
"In promulgating your esoteric cogi
tations and In articulating your super
ficial sentimentalities and amicable phil
osophical or psychological observations
beware of platitudinous ponderosity.
Let your conversational communication
possess a clarified conciseness, a com
pacted comprehensibleness, a coales
cent consistency and a concatenated
. cogency. Eschew n!i cVuglomeration ?>r

Sedulously avoid all polysyllabic'pro
fundity, ventrlloqulal verbosity and
vaniloqucnt vapidity. Shun double en
tendre, prurient Jocosity and pestifer
ous profanity, obscurant or apparent.
In other words, talk plainly,. briefly,
naturally, sensibly, purely and truth-'
fully. Don't put on nlrs; say what you
mean; mean what you say, and don't
use big words."
The young official took the gentle
hint and changed his style.-London

for the tourist to pass through five Eu

barring accidents-namely, England,

Brussels-three countries. From the
Belgian capita! by train to Aix-ia

making the fourth country, and after
allowing time for a meal a drive to
Vaals, in Holland, makes the fifth
country-and all in fourteen hours.
