Numerous instances of tho rc?! man's
quiekncs,*. of wit are relKted by those
who-have had dealings with him. A

the "rejoinder.
? "1 work headwork," replied thc whit*
man, touching his forehead. "Hut com?
here and kill this cali' for me, and I'll
give you a quarter."
The Indian stood still for a moment,
apparently deep In thought, and then
he went off to kill the calf.
"Why don't you - finish your jobi"
presently asked the supervisor, seeing
the mau staud with folded arms over

"You Bay you glvo me quarter to

Me want quarter."
The white man smiled nnd handed
thc Indian an extra coln to go on with
the work.
"How is lt," asked the Englishman
one day after a series of such one sided
dealings, "that you so often get the
better of me?"
' "I work headwork," solemnly replied
the man of the woods.
A white trader once succeeded In
selling a large quantity of gunpowder I
to ono of this tribe on the assurance
that lt was a new kind that the white
man used for seed and If. sown In es- j
peclally prepared loam would yield an
amazing crop. Away went the Indian
to BOW his powder and In bis hope of
making money from his fellows was
careful not to mention his enterprise.
When nt lost, however, he realized how
he had been duped bc ' held bis tongue
for a year or more until the trickster
bad completely forgotten the occur
rence. Then he went to hts hoaxer's
etore and bought goods on credit
amounting to a little more than the
price of tho planted gunpowder. He
had the reputation of a good payer, and
his scheme worked easily. When set
tling day came, tho creditor called
promptly.
"Right," saul tho Indian slowly. - j
"right, but my powder not yet sprout- j
ed. Me pay you when me reap him."

A Lennon In tbe Uno of Simple Term?
lu Letter Writing.
A fow month? ngo tho son of s rail
way director was through his father's
influence given u position ot some Im
portance on a large railway. He was
fresh from Cambridge, and In the or
ders which he from time to time Issued
to the men under him always made use
of the longest, most unusual words.
This habit led to some rather expen
sive blunders, and, the matter coming
before the general manager, ho wrote
tho young ofllcial tho 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
en; ency. Eschew all conglomeration ?if
il nt a lent garrulity. Jejune bnbblcuieut
uii'.t asinine affectation. Let ?.-our ex
tcinr^c&Wc-UH dinoun tings una ttnpvo
medftated expatiation barn intelligibil
ity nnd veracious vivacity, without rho- j
Uouimiiuuti ul' ? Uiittaoiiicui bouibuuu
Sedulously avoid all polysyllable ?pro
fundity, ventriloquia! verbosity ^ind
vnnlloquent 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 nirs; any what you
mean; mean what you say, and don't
use big words."
The young ofllcial took the gentle
hint and changed his style.-London

An Odd Collection.

A Natural Misapprehension.
"You say the audience laughed when
you recited 'Marco Bofczarls' In Chica

"Yes," answered Mr. Stonnington

thought lt was a local allusion."
