WHITE MAN DID IT
A Kickapoo Indian's Plaintive Let?
ter to Washington.
KrlnteM the- DlreThlinr? Which Have
Hefa lien Iii? People TlirunKii
the Advance of the Ilnteil
Paleface.
One of the congressmen at Washing?
ton luts received the following letter
fion) a half-breed Kickapoo living in
Kansas:
"To the Son of the White Father in
Washington:
"Word conies that you and your
brothers are going to spend a heap of
money to deepen the channel of the
mouth of the Kansas river. What for?
"The white man has built bridges
over the mouth of the river there and
for some distance above. A man can
wade across the river anywhere, e.\
cept in the spring. What good will it
do to deepen the channel at the mouth?
A steamboat couldn't go very far if
the channel was deepened, because the
white man's bridges don't open.
"Thirty-five years ago, when I was a
buck, and my people camped on the
hills of Wyandotte, at the month of
what was then the Kaw river, 1 have
seen the mouth of the river crowded
with little steamboats that made trips
up and down the river.
"There was plenty of water in the
river then. The white men came among
us and bought, out laud, and the white
father sent his agents out and they
made trades, and we marched on with
the course of the sun.
"A white man's bridge was built a
couple of miles from thutmouth of
the river. A boat couldu't get through
it #or under it. After a little while
more white man bridges were built
at Lawrence and at Topeka and tiien
they went back to the mouth of the
river and built three more and charged
toll to cross them.
"Then the water began to get low.
In some places an Indian couldn't push
his canoe. The white, father changed
the name of the stream. Indians had
called it the Kaw. White man crossed
it in many places with bridges, gave
it another name, and then the river
wept itself dry. We got pay for our
lands. Indian made his own trade
and must submit. But you didn't buy
the name of our river. That was our
name. You changed it and you said
nothing to us about it, nor paid for it,
and when our children went to your
schools and came home they told us
we had lost our river and they called it
by some other name.
"And now white man wants to dig
in the mouth of our lost river. No. Let
it alone. It is running dry. It is like
the Indian. Let it alone for a little
while and you can tear down your
bridges and sell them for plows and
cross over on dry land. There won't
be a puddle between banks deep
enough for a tadpole.
"You changed the name of the Wyan?
dotte, too. No wonder the grasshop?
pers and the dogs took the town at
once. Everything you put your foot
on in our Kansas of other days has
withered or perished from the face of
the earth.
"Wc had council fires at Qtdndaro.
White man built a town there and cut
roads in the hills, and trimmed the for?
ests and dammed the streams. Where
is it now? You canH find the name on
your map and the town is no more.
"We. had our corn dance on the hills
further up the river. You came there
and built you a town, and called it
Palermo. That was a'rxetty name and
the Indians liked it, and we said our
white brothers have built a town nnd
called it a pretty name, like some of
our own, and we took it as a peace of?
fering.
"The katydid sings on "the site In
summer and there are more graves on
the hills than there arc jieople in the
town. When the trees bloom you can't
find the town. When the snow falls it
covers it up so you can hardly see
where it is.
"Even our beautiful Leavenworth has
faded and looks old, and Atchison is
like the yellow leaves in the forest
when they are touched with the frost.
"The town you built on the Kansas
shore, and which you named Doniphan,
where is it? If a strange man came to
the place in the night he would have
tc camp out.
"Kllwood, that you built across the
river from the Black Snake hills, fell
into the waters of the .Missouri nnd
rushed to the sea. Belmont, that you
built on a hill, so it could be seen of
ail men, is fallen down, and looks like
a ruin.
"What is in the white man's breath
that makes it like death when it blows
on the Indian and his people and his
country?
"If the white father has money to
spend let him give it to our children
instead of spending it to dig holes in a
sandbar."?Chicago Inter Ocean.
BERRY SEEDLINGS.
Some Facts Which Illustrate the
Wonderful Workings of Nature In
Ucr Relations to Man.
Each little strawberry seed contain*
the elements to produce a plant thy
will bear fruit peculiar to itself, when
it is grown without restrictions. The
ortist in preparing his paint for a cer?
tain color, puts together a little of one
shade and a little of some other nnd
mixes them together, each new addi?
tion changes the color. So in like man?
ner, the Great Artist employs the in?
sects to mix together the pollen from
the blossoms of the various qualities
of the strawberry and to deposit it in
the receptacles or seed tubes of other
blossoms. The mixing of each addi?
tion changes the quality of the prod?
uct-from that seed.
Watch the busy bee as he flics from
blossom to blossom till he has visited
hundreds of flowers. Some of these
plants produce fruit that is very acid,
some fruit which is very sweat, some
of a medium quality, nnd so on through
all the various flavors and from all of
these he has made a collection and a
ileposit to this mixture. The deposit
may not have been intentional on the
part of the bee, but it has been done.
The next bee may visit other varieties,
nnd some of the same, each adding to
the variety collected, and it is not
strange that each seed should produce
a product peculiar to itself.
If we Like a staminate variety and re?
move it from all the other varieties and
exclude it from insects so there shall
be no mixture from the other varieties
when in bloom, the product of that seed
should be like its parent. For an ex?
ample, we will take tie Sbarpless
plant. The combination, the make-up.
of that seed from which the first Sharp
less plant grew gave it its distinct char?
acter; every root and fiber in that plant
Is distinct from all other plants, al?
though that may not be visible to the
eye. We know it by its blossom, color,
or shade of its leaf, manner of growth
of plant, the general shape of its fruit,
color and flavor of same, and. its tex?
ture. Ilemove the Dlant to anv nart of
the world, nnd its general character?
istics ""ill be the same anil the seed
from this Sharpless plant will pro?
duce plants and fruit like itself, if we
carry out the principle from which we
started.?S. TT. Warren, in American
Gardening.
JASMINE TIME IN THE SOUTH.
When Generous Xnlurc Makes iler
Must Ueautiful Floral
Display.
Tourists down south in .March rhap?
sodize over the beauty of the jasmine
that grows wild on every hand and fills
the air with its fragrance. Women come
in from their afternoon drives with
their laps filled with jasmine, invalids
go into ecstasies over its delicate beau?
ty, its subtle odor, and men, young and
old, rough and gentle, stop to look at
the tempting cluster or to break off a
tsprig too lovely to be left. As for the
bees?the wild bees that have a hard
time all winter?they hold carnival.
Long before any other woods growth
is resurrected for the spring, before
even the dogwood and maple blooms
get well under way, the jasmine gets in
'us fine work; she is wanton, very will?
ful, and, as if drunk with hvrown sweet?
ness, for six weeks or more riots in a
delirium of beauty up hill and down
dale, in swamp and woods and hedge?
row, all over the country.
Out in tho lonely woods the jasmine burns
Its fragrant lamps, and turns
Into a royal court with green festoons
The banks of dark lagoons.
In the deep heart of every forest tree
The blood is all aglec.
And there's a look about the leafless bowers
As if they dreamed of llowers?
wrote Zimrod, the Carolina poet who
fills so pathetic a niche in literature.
The jasmine climbs about the cracker's
home and the tumble-down shanties
that show up over the land, as well as
the thrifty negro's cabin, where the
mistress has set up an arbor over the
door frame. It hangs its bells over the
wabbling rail fences in February and
March and climbs the dignified garden
rail, and ofttimes obtrudes itself where
It is not wanted and gets cut down nnd
plowed up ruthlessly in consequence,
hut in the cities where its wiles have
been tamed and it has been led to can?
opy balconies and porches, the clusters
are fuller, the blossoms are larger, the
perfume even more subtly sweet, if pos?
sible, than in the heart of the country.
It is in March that the wistara vines in
Charleston and Columbia put on their
purple glory. There is scarcely a wis?
taria vine on a stone-pillared porch or
railed-in balcony but has a jasmine vine
for company. The purple and golden
clusters together are n goodly combina?
tion. Walk down Meeting or Log-are
street in Charleston or about the resi?
dence streets of Columbia and Augusta,
and the double foxtst of beauty and fra?
grance is one to be remembered.?At?

A SMART SAILOR BOY.
He Knew There Was Prize Money
Ahead and Spoke l'p 1'or His
Share.
This is the story of a young sailor
who lived two generations before young
Dan Wailinglord, who gave his com?
plete fortune cf IS cents to build a new
battleship to replace the Maine. Iiis
first name was Biil and his last name is
withheld. The incident occurred dur?
ing the eventful year of '12, on board
our frigate United States, when, under
Capt. Decatur's skillful command, she
captured, after '"long shot" action, the
British frigate, Macedonian, bringing
her it prize to New York. Decatur got
tt gold medal from congress in recogni?
tion of the capture, and this is what a
Vermont newspaper, printed in the
year of Waterloo, tells of Bill's part in
this sea fight:
"On board Decatur's ship was a little
boy about nine years old. He was not
considered one of the regular crew, but
he shared the mess of a generous sailor
who had two years before taken him
from his widowed mother. The spirit
of his father, who bad been a seaman,
had long since gone aloft, and left Iiis
wife and little ones on the shoals of
poverty. Wheu the Macedonian hove
in sight and all hands were clearing
ship for action the little fellow stepped
up to Commodore Decatur.
" 'Ami it please you, captain,' he said,
T wish my name might be put dowu or.
the roil.'
"'And what for, my lad?' inquired
the eommander.
" 'So that I can draw a share of tla
prize money, sir,'answered he.
"Pleased with the spirit and confi?
dent courage of the little hero, his name
was ordered on the list; but the mo?
ment was too important to say more.
After the prize was taken Decatur
thought, of the little sailor boy and
called him up.
"'Well, Bill,' said he, 'we have taken
her, and your share of the prize, if we
get her safe in, will be about $2C0. What
will you do with it?'
" TU send one-half of it to my moth?
er, sir, and the other half shall send me
to school.'
"Delighted with the spirit of the lad
he took him under his immediate pro?
tection, and obtained for him the berth
of a midshipman."?N. Y. Sun.
NOVELTY MILLS OF MAINE.
Make Spools, Skerrem, Toothpicks,
Dice iloxcs and Ilnby SleiKhs.
The spool factories of Maine turn out
annually about 250.000,000 spools, whidh
will hold 50,000,000,000 yards of thread?
200 yards to the spool. There are 17 of
these factories in the state, employ?
ing 550 hands, at average wages of
$1.50 a day each, or $247,500 a year total.
In the making of the spools, 30,500
Dords of white birch timber, or 13.250,
)00 feet are used. This timber is worth
Jour dollars a cord. A large part of the
spool timber cut in Maine is not man?
ufactured here, but shipped from
Bangor to great factories in England
nnd Scotland. Thisycar Bangor export?
ed C,978,CGS feet of spool bars to the
United Kingdom, the value being $14-1,
000, and more will be shipped next year.
There is practically no limit to the sup?
ply of white birch available.
The so-called "novelty mills" of
Maine are numerous all through tho
hard wood districts. In these mills are
turned, out all kinds of little wooden
boxes, many of which are used by
druggksts; checker boxes, checkers,
dice boxes, wooden stoppers, handles
of a thousand kinds and shapes, tootlh
picks by the million, ladders, swings,
school desks and chairs, toy carts and
Wheelbarrows, tables, desks, cycle
stands, baby sleighs, and other things
too numerous to mention. The largest
"novelty" factory in the world is at
South Paris, Oxford county, where
nbout 200 hands are employed.
A Dixfield factory has just completed
an order for 8,000,000 checkers and
200,000 dice boxes, and at another fac?
tory in the same town they have made
tlhls year 525,000,000 toothpicks. One
firm has made 5,000,000 skewers, such
as ore used by butchers. Wooden bi?
cycle rims are also an important article
of manufacture. The product of these
factories goes to all parts of the tvorld.
The timber used was once considered
practically worthless.?Nr. Y. Sun.
OUR NEED OF. CHANGE,
Itccrcntloii Is an Imperative Xvceii
Klty to Uardnorkiuj,' HoniCWlvea>
"What queer people the most of nf
are and what queer lives we lead!" ex
claimed a lady to a friend.
"How easily we are depressed in spir?
it, cast down by such little things. And
yet the little things rise up like moun?
tains of great waves, and fairly over?
shadow or engulf us."
Ah! thought I, how true that is of
all of us at times. It is the little, unex?
pected, seemingly needless things,
caused perhaps b}' our own want ot
thought or plan, or that of some one
else, nnd we fret and scold and feel all
the evil rising tip in our natures, nnd
for the time being we cannot see be?
yond our little "present.
Such a limited horizon as we make
for ourselves. And yet, all around us
and back of us?in the days gone by and
in the days to come?arc the great and
beautiful things of our lives. Blessings
we call them, all overshadowed by the
fret and worry of the little insignificant
trifles that must needs mar so much of
our lives.
Yet these things ought not to be.
We feel the wrong and know the evil
that results from them, and long to
escape?to overcome; but how? It is
a perplexing question, and particularly
so to those people who are forced to live
somewhat narrow lives. Shut in, per?
haps, by family cares, or. it may be. liv?
ing in thinly settled localities, and thus
debarred, in a measure, the society of
others. But whatever the circum?
stances, however situated, we need va?
riety in our lives. 7t is as bad to have
too much of the country qnietas tohavc
coo much of the noise of the busy city.
It is not well to become so deeply en?
grossed in the petty cares of house?
keeping that we allow our lives to nar?
row into certain grooves, nor to bind
ourselves with chains of habit that in
time we find it so hard to break.
Well would it be for every woman
whose life is tending toward narrow?
ness to plan for some change of thought
and scene at least once a week, if not
oft oner.
We need society, change of air nnd
place. No woman can expect to keep
continually calm, serene and pleasant
amid the cares and worries of daily life
who steadily ignores the needs of her
nature, for change of work, scene, fresh
air, and the society of other minds out?
side the home circle.
Recreation in some form at occasion?
al intervals is as imperative a need of
our lives, if we would keep our minds,
nerves and tempers in a healthy condi?
tion, as food and drink are imperative
needs of our bodies. It will prevent our
minds from becoming shut in upon our?
selves, and we shall thereby be buffer
able to put in practice Dr. Bale's grand
motto, which, though written especial?
ly for voting people, is applicable for
all:
"Look up ana not clown.
Look forward and not back,
Look out and not In,
And lend a hand."

NEW FAD OF RICH FOLKS,
Wives of Millionaires Want Their
Featnres Chipped Out
tu Ann to.
Portraiture has become a gentle rage
In the millionaire feminine bosom. Full
length paintings in oils by the most
eminent Parisian artists and miniatures
on ivory arc among the methods of
picture-making that the rich women
are beginning totireof.nnd.asnoces.sity
is the mother of invention, a whole new
scries of schemes for limning attractive
faces has been obediently brought
forth by the prevailing condition.
It was Mrs. Freddy Gebhard, the own?
er of one of the most perfect profiles
in America, who first tool: the pains to
hunt out a little old genius hidden
away in a back street of Richmond, Ya.,
and request him to cut a big and beau?
tiful cameo of her face, lie made a
very effective likeness in white on a
background of sapphire blue stone, and
when .Mrs. Gebhard bad this set about
with a large diamond and' wore it as
one would a miniature bir.och. every
woman who saw it and could afford
the expense went and did likewise.
Xot all women can, however, afford
to have their features chipped out in
agate stone, and a great many of them
are going to photographers to have
cameo photographs taken. This is a
process brought over from Paris, where
they are just now making as well very
exquisite vignette photographs, the fig?
ures in brown or gray thrown on a pol?
ished white surface.
The cameo process is nothing mor.*
nor less than a face in char profile,
photographed in strong white lights
against a block of prepared and pol?
ished black wood. The block of wood
is usually about six or eight inches
square, with a circular depression in
the center. Into Ihisi the picture is
thrown, and shows like a carving of
pearl against ebony. Every curl and
stray strand of hair, every flimsy bit
of lace and flower about the .shoulders,
is outlined by the camera, and a ptettj
woman could not find a more perfect
medium for a faithful likeness of her
fine features.?Chicago Journal.
F'hotoKraiihlnjr by Fireflies' I.lprlit.
Experiments have been made in pho?

large number of them were placed in a
small box and confined by a netting.
The box was provided with sensitive
plates and in some instances covered
closely in order to discover the power
of the light emitted by these insects.
It was found that they have a quality
not unlike the X-rays, and the plates
that were closely covered showed tin
mistakable evidences of a photographic
process.?St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

THE PILL THAT WILL.
NOT REPI. TING AT LEISURE.
Elnrrlcdly Married Cnnplc Grntefnl
to n Mutual Acquaintance.
Most old sayings have more or less
foundation In fact, and probably of
none can this bu more truly said than
of the adage: "Marry in haste and re?
pent at leisure." Nevertheless the fair?
ies are sometimes good to couples who
wed without conventional deliberation,
as is proven by the story related by the
best man at a recent wedding. "About
as quick a wedding as ever I heard of,"
said he, "was one in which I was the
matchmaker. It was about four years
ago, in a Louisiana country town. I
won't mention actual names, but I shall
say that Percy AJIcn, of the country
town, and Miss Jessie Milton, a visitor
from New Orleans, met each other.
You know how it is in the country;
young people don't have to climb gar?
den walls to be able to converse to?
gether. Well, in a week Percy and Jes?
sie were on pretty friendly terms, but
nobody suspected them of anything
more than friendship and they them?
selves had no suspicion of anything
more serious. Now here is where I
come in; it was I who fixed them for
life. By the force of suggestion, as
in the case of Beatrice and Benedict,
I caused them to see each other in an
entirely different light. We three were
walking down the street together. Sud?
denly I looked with a very critical eye
at Percy and Jessie and said: 'What a
line couple you would make. 1 never
saw two persons better suited for each
other.' Percy Laughed awkwardly, Jes?
sie blushed. 'I would be perfectly will?
ing,' said Percy, 'but I don't know
whether Jessie would have me.' Jessie
laughed. 'I wouldn't mind,' she an?
swered. 'Get married this evening,
t lien,' I put in. 'Have snap. I shall get
the license to-day.' 'But I have no
clothes ready,' remarked Jessie. 'Well,
if you wish to put it off,' remarked
Percy, 'we shall make it to-morrow.'
When we reached the house Jessie went
into the parlor to receive the visit of
a young man. Percy came to me. He
was agitated. lie said: 'I wonder if
Jessie was only joking? I wonder if
she?would?have?me?' 'I think so,'
I answered. 'She has told me that she
likes you.' As a result Percy waited
until the young DM j left, and after
half an hour's conversation with Jes?
sie matters were arranged. By noon
of the next day they were married and
on their way to New Orleans. I ac?
companied them to help Percy out. Of
course, Jessie's people raised all man?
ner of row, but when they discovered
that Percy was a nice young fellow
and able to support a wife, 'blessyou, '
my children,' followed and champagne
was opened. Percy and Jessie are a
happy couple to-day, and they prob?
ably wouldn't have had gumption
enough to come together unless 1 had
been there. Until events proved that it
was a happy union 1 was in mortal ter?
ror because of my share in the affair,
and you may be sure I would never play
such a part again. Marriage is much
too serious a matter to be entered into
i? that way.'*?Chicago Chronicle.
