The average red man did not have Intelli

keen Intellect of Tontine saw clearly enough
thnt one of two things must happen—the
palefaces had to be exterminated or they
would exterminate* the Indians.

Causa and Effect.
An old-time barrister was John Wil
liams, a sarcastic wit, and a bachelor
with an Intense prejudice against mar
riage. Hla clerk one day asked him
for a holiday to get married, and some
months: afterward, on entering his
Cambers, Williams found his deac
hotly suspended from the door. He
engaged another clerk and asked him
If he was married. ’•No,” replied the
clerk, hut thinking Williams would re
gard marriage as a guarantee of stead -
s, he added, ’but I am going t«»
be." "Very well,*’ replied Williams,
hut understand this—when you hang
ourself, don’t do It here.”—Argonaut.
