Fronter Lie.
In August, 1878, Henry Dillard, a
young man about twenty years of ago,
was returning from Fort Griffin to his
home on the Brazos. lie had been to
the Fort to sell a load of produce on
the day before. Ile was driving a pair
of mules, and in the wagon with hin
was his little brother Willie, ahout thir
teen years old. Having attended a ball
on the night previous, Dillard felt
drowsy. When about fifteen miles
from the Fort, as he was dozing on the
wagon-seat, little dreaming of the
drama in which he was to play a prom
Inent part, he wassuddenly aroused by
the sound of laughter and the tramp
ling of horses, Ie had driven al
most into the midst of the party of
thirty Indians, who were moving to
wards ilim. Instantly comprehending
the situation, he reached down and
picked up his gun. The foremost In
dian, who was iearly abreast of him,
now fired at Dillard, the ball cutting
away his temporal lock and anoi b:u, -
Ing the scalp. Dillard fired a shot or
two, but found that the shields of the
Indians turned the bullets. le then
shot one Indian below the shield, break
Ing his thigh and the backbone of his
horse. Calling upon Willie to follow
him, he then sprang from the wagon
and began to move toward a ravine
about a quarterof a mile to the right.
I1s arms were a Spencer rifle and six
shooter. Willie also had t six-shooter.
The Indiana immediately surrou nded
themi, galloping in a circle, keeping up
a constant yelling and tiring. They
were armed with Spencer rifles and
bullet-proof shleds. Sometimes run
ning, sometimes walking, sometimes at,
bay, the two boys a1)proached the ra
vine. At the first fire Willie's six
shooter was rendered useless by the
blowing out of a portion of the cylin
(er, lenceforward his only service
was to carry the cartridges for his
brother. At one time Ihenry fell on
his face. An Indian dashied up to
take hils seal), but was shot by Dillard
before Ie rose from the ground. At
another time he heard Willie cry, "Ien
ry I look here." The boy was running
around a mosquito bush, followed by
an Indian, who was trying to grasp
hii by the clothcs. Ifenry ran up and
shot the ludian,and the two boys con
tinned the retreat. On they struuggled,
the Indians charging back and forth,
lreling, yelling and firing, attempt
Ing to ride theim dlown or dash them to
the earth with the barrels ot their car
lnes. Oi they pushed, seizing every
"colgn' of advantage, loading, firing,
dodging, turning, but ever advancing
toward the ravine, where the inttinct
of the young braves pointed them to
shelter. The heat was terrible; their
tongues were swollen and theskin sl1p
ped from the soles of their feet. But
on they pressed-to pause was to die.
The efforts of the savages, who were
now maddened with rage and revenge,
were redoubledi as the boys neared the
ravine. But the young heroes strug
gled on with undaunted resolution
and at length reneied It and sprang
into the brush with which It, was fring
ed. But one of tie Indians had arriv
ed before them nd d11(ismiounted from
his horse. IDillard discoverinmg himal,
attempted to shoot, but 1his plece was
nowv empty. The Indian seeing this
mounted his horse and diashedi up to
him, carbine in hand,. and was shot by
Uiliard through the body with his pis
tol, ie turned andi rode awauy to the
miain body. The boys now retired
into the depths of the ravine and the
savages retreated, carrying away theie
dead and wounded, but leaving live
horses on the bloody field, besides blan
kets and blouses perforated with bullet
holes and somne clothing anmd otherarti
cles which they had taken from the
whites on this foray. Th'le Indians
having taken Dillard's mules lhe made
lisa way on foot to a ranch some miles
away and returnedl to Fort Griffin. Oni
* hearing hisa report, Goeneral Buell im
mediately sent ani oflcer with a sil
clent iiumberof men to pursue the In
dians. These had divided, the main
body taking to the right, andi a smaller
* party, with the dead and wounded, a
left hand trail. In two or thiree (days,
about the head of the Wichita, thiey
came upon a camp wvhich had been~ ie
cently deserted by the Idlins Three
beds, made of grass and deeply bleod..
stained, were found in this camp. No
ticing some buzzards circling aroumti a
mountain near by, some of tile party
ascended it and found where the In
dians had partially bur'ied thiree bodies
of those who had doubtless died( in tile
camp. They also found here a memor
andum book of DillardI's whieh lie had
lost in the a fight few cdays before. 1Dil
lard's feet were now so sore that lhe was
not able to w alk, and the party returned
to Fort Griflin without strik Ing the In
dians.

FARM AND QARDEN.

store and preserve their potatoes
through the winter, and we may say
until potatoes colne again, It is the

the next is the bins t.hould not be too

When stored in the field, straight tron
ches are dug, say twelity feet In length
and four or five wide, wich tire filled
to the depth of three feet with potatoes,
then well-covered with traw, on top
of which put, eighteen or twenty Inches

P10KING.-In making plkles use
only the best older viiegar. Wine
vinegar will answer for table ue; it
will not keep' plekles. If you do not
make youir own vinegar buy it of soie
one wi'hom youl can trust, aid bo wlllin
to pay a fair price for It. Much of the
so-called older viiegar iin the market
has never been near citlder press, but
Is either (iluted sulphuric acid or some
other equally pernieious compound.
The best sugar for Iickles Is the light
brown sugar known as lB, the second
grade of colee sigar. Dark brown su
gar is not, to be trusted; plekles made
with it are apt to be soat. If' you use
a brass kettle, see tliat It is well scourend
every time it Is used and Riever stiffer
yoir pickles to stand In it for even a
moment after remnovi)g it from tlhe

ting Ol the Iletal will forim an acetate
of copper eommonly known ts verdi
gras, which Ia deadly po8iso. The
best kettles for plkling, as well as for
preserving, are those lined with por
eclain. No necessity exists for grecin
ing pickles, but when it is desired to

Boys who Learned to Sew.
When the late Admiral - was a
young nidshipman lie was sent on a voyage
around the world in one of Kiug Gcorge
IlI.'s ships. He was three years away,
and as lie grew very fast he found himself
sailing in the Pacific Ocean with hardly a
stitch of clothes to his tac. His motlier,
sister of Admiral Lord -- , had taught
her little boy to sow; so he got soie can
vas out of the ship's stores and cut out and
made himself a new suit of clothes; his
niotier was very proud of these, and when
her son was an Admiral she used to show
then to her grandchildren and tell then
the itory.
Rather mnore than thirty years ago a lady
went to call on another one rainy afternoon ;
the house was built on an island in a lake
in Ireland. In the dining-ront were two
little boys sitting on footstools, one on each
sid of the fireplace. Probably the visitor
looked astonished, for ilie mother of the
little boys said in a low tone: "Please don't
laugh at them; What should 1 (10 with
them on this island on a rainy drty if they
were too proud to sow ?" One of these
boys was a lieutenant in the Crimean ivar;
he fought none the worse because he knew
how to use the needle as well as the sword,
when he, with llls nmen, was for eighteen
hours in the ledan on the memorable 18th
of June.
The chaplain of an Irish institution had
seen, when he was young, the stralts to
which the French aristooratic refugees were
neduced from having to do things for them
selves, and lie got a tairor to conic into Isis
hoilse and teach his boys how to cut out
and make and mend their own clothes.
One of the boys is now an old general, but
he sdws on his buttons to this very day;
aud, when he was on service in Asia, lie
not only mended and patched his own
clothes, but those of his brother oflicers.
All the men of his regiment knitted their
own stockings.

A Slight Mistalke.
A man ordered a most elaborate dinner at
a restaurant which lhe enjoyed and praised
much-after which ho .ighited a cigar, and
sauntering uip to the lansdlord, declared his
inability to pay for It.
"But I don't know you," said Boniface.
"Of course, or you would not have given
mc a dinner.''
The enraged man seized the pistol, col
lared the offender, and taking aim at his
heart, said : "Now, see if you get awar
from me without paying for that dinner.'
"Whlat Is that In your hand ?" gasped
the impecunious customer, drawing baek.
'"That, sir, is a pistol."
"01st that's a pistol, is It ? I don't care
a fig for a pistol; I thiought it was a stem
ach-pump."
