rv/ r < ?:' AN INDIAN EXPERIENCE Trial* ef a Girl Who Was Captured by the Sioux. The winter of 185G-57 was one long to be remembered by the people of Iowa and Minnesota for its bitter cold weather, deej* snow and vh?l\>nt storms. whirh rendered coin Biunication between the different settlements almost impossible. A great many of the settlements were on the extreme frontier and absolutely unprotected and defenseless, j It was during this winter that the j Sioux attacked and destroyed the j family of Mr. Rowland (iardncr. j They killed all except a young j daughter, Ahbio. who was taken into captivity, hit was rescued through the efforts of tho United : States government. In "The S-nrit Lake Massacre" she tells something I of her captivity: Whenever tin* Indians thought to torture me by threatening t>> take , my life 1 would ivvciy how niv head. My tear! s- acquiescence and willingne-s to die seemed to !:il them all with, worn! *r. They thought i it a sign of bravery. ^ Soon after my rapture one ?>f the | warriors, who was fitting by mo one , day in the tent, thinking to tost niv i courage or to be amused at my fears, took his revolver from his belt and began loading it. while he gave rac to understand that he would kill me as soon as it was loaded. I merely bowed my head to signify that I was ready. When the revolver was all loaded he drew back the hammer and held the weapon close to my head. I quietly bowed my head, expecting he would do as he said. But instead of that lie lowered the weapon and looked at me as if astonished and then laughed uproariously. So amused was he that he told his companions of it, and it was a favorite subject of conversation. These Indians were at a loss to know what to do with much of the plunder they had taken. Among the spoils were quantities of soda and cream of tartar.

A commuter who lives up the Hudson river and who is, of course, accustomed to go downtown even morning contributes a specimen of Finnish humor to the New York Sun. Bv the commuter's confession he is prone to prowl around the refrigerator almost every night and quietly dispose of any unconsidered trifle that may tempt his appetite without publishing the same to the household at large. Recently his wife was discussing luncheon with a new importation from Finland named Hilda and, remembering a pudding that they had not been able to finish the day before, 'Baidib the kitchen autocrat: "Do you know where that piece of cold pudding is?" Without a smile on her face Hilda answered: "Yes, ma'am. It has gone downtown!" THE LARGEST WHOLESALE A1ND RETAIL DRY GOODS A.\D CARPET HOCSE IS THE SOCTH.

Whin the Reader Got Through There Was Nothing Left. A queer character was a man 1 met once while in Kinsley, Kan. Where lie came from I didn't find > ? i J out, nor yet wnere ne was uouuu. From his grips and general appearance I guessed him to be a commercial traveler. Doubtless he was. When I first saw him he was buying a book in a Kinsley store?one of tin late novels, neatly and .attractively bound in cloth, and he paid for it $1.23. His conr.ii- as he left the store with his purchase was what nailed my attention. He had the hook in his hands unwrapped, having waived the parceling of the same a> unnecessary. lie i.; 'led at the door, bent botli covers !>;;. / a'.! coolly npped them o:i" and : -sc.! them into the street. Then i.e "cut" the volume as one might a deck ?>f car.!-, about the middle, bent the two halves back til! they met and then ripped them apart as coolly as he had torn oil the cover. 1 was naturally astonished. Who was this man? Was he some c.xpurgator? Was the book a menace to morals? 1 took a quick glance at the discarded covers. It was one of the best of the recently issued fic 1 .* 1 O i 1 1# tion. -My man tucked tne nrsi nan of his book into the side pocket of his coat. The other half he thrust into the smaller of his two grips. And then both of us headed for the train. We rode together as far as Hutchinson. I purposely selected a seat near him. He raised a window and settled himself comfortably and pulled the half book from his pocket. He tore off the first page, laid the rest of the volume beside him on the seat and read the single leaf. From the way his eyes moved 1 saw lie was a "skimmer." In no time he had finished page 1. I knew that, for he turned the leaf. And when page 2 was read I knew that, too, for he quietly ^crumpled up the leaf and tossed it out of the car window. And then he tore off the next leaf. And in due time it went the same route. And so it went on. All the way from Kinsley to Hutchinson he left a trail of crumpled leaves. When he had finished the book the book was finished too.?Kansas City Star. His Flowers.
