WON THE INDIAN.
The Boy Showed the Armed Redskin
How to Play Marbles.
One who visits an encampment
of Indians is likely to find many of
the younger members and some ofl
the older ones practicing games or
feats of skill. In the “Chronicles
of a Kentucky Settlement” Mr.
Watts tells how a boy of eleven
years of age showed an Indian how
to play wmarbles. The boy, Joseph
Adair, was on his way from Hills
boro, N. C., to Tennessee in the
fall of 1805. The lad had become
separated from his foster father’s |
family some little distance on the
trail when he met an Indian unex
pectedly.
Joseph had been loitering along
behind the teams, “plumping” mar
bles, a dozen or more of which he
had brought with him from Hills
boro, when he was much alarmed on i
seeing in the road directly in front
of him a large, fierce looking In- |
dian, rifle in hand and otherwise |
equipped with tomahawk and knife, |
after the manner of his race. :,
The lad’s first impulse—so he
afterward related—was to turn and
run for his life. But this he knew,
after a moment’s consideration,
would be unavailing and would,
moreover, be not only equivalent to
a confession of cowardice, but |
would increase his danger. rindd
His next thought was to shout |
aloud for help. But then it struck |
him that probably he could not
make himself heard, and even if he
could the doubt thus expressed as
to the Indian’s peaceable intentions |
might anger the savage, in which
event his deadly work could be ac- |
complished before any one could
come to the boy’s assistance. |
These thoughts ran quickly]
through the boy’s mind, the Indian
meanwhile standing like a statue in !
the road. It then occurred to Jo- |
geph that the Indian was closely |
observing the marbles, and he de
termined to resort to a little {friend
ly diplomacy.
Picking up the marbles and hold
ing them out in the palm of hisl
hand, he approached the dusky
stranger and with as calm a voice
as he could command said: “Mar
bles! Do you want one? May have
both. I have more.”
The Indian took the marbles and
examined one of them so closely
that the boy supposed the savage
had never before seen such a toy
and was trying to determine its
use. Upon this he took two other
marbles from his pocket, and, cast-
ing one of them gome six or eight
feet from him, he properly adjust
ed the other between his thumb and
finger and, showing the position to
the Indian, took deliberate aim.
He hit the marble that he shot at
so plump that it was knocked sev
eral yards. The one he had shot
gpun around in almost the same
&ace from which the other had
en driven.
It was a good shot. The Indian,
observing the game, uttered some
thing like a grunt of approval and,
placing the marbles given him in
his pouch, without a word or a ges
ture stepped from the road and dis
appeared in the forest.
A Tutor Who Maintained His Dignity.
Dr. Chalmers always had a high
sense of personal dignity. Whena
young man he was engaged as tutoy
in a private family. His young
lady pupils resented his strictness,
and the mother foolishly took sides
with her daughters. In petty spite
when company was invited to the
house young Chalmers was shut out
from the table, and dinner was sent
to his room. He made no protest
against the treatment, but when it
was attempted again he told the
servant he had ordered a dinner at
a neighboring town and should need
nothing. When this had been done
a few times an explosion came. The
master of the house called Chal
mers to account for insulting his
family. Chalmers replied that he
had been insulted by banishment
from the table. The young teacher
conquered and ever after held his
place as one of the family at all so
cial gatherings.
She Kept Her Word,
A funny story is told concerning
Catherine of Berain, a Welsh wom
an, who was known as the mother
of Wales because she founded so
many families. “She was first mar
ried to John Salusbury of Lleweni
and became the mother of Sir John
Salusbury, who was born with two
thumbs to each hand and was noted
for his prodigious strength. At the
funeral of her husband Sir Richard
Clough gave her his arm. Outside
the churchyard stood Maurice
Wynn of Gwydir awaiting a decent
opportunity of proposing to her.
As she issued from the gate he did
this. “Very sorry,’ replied Cath
erine, ‘but { have just accepted Sir
Richard Clough. Should I survive
him I will marry you.” She was as
good as her word and married yet a
{fourth before she died in 1591.”
How to Light a Solid Body.
Cadogan Morgan was the first
electrician to experiment with elec
tric light in solid bodies. This was
in 1785. He first inserted two
wires into a stick of wood and caus
ed the spark to pass between them.
This had the effect of illuminating
the stick a beautiful blood red. An
ivory ball, an orange or an apple
may be lighted in the same manner.
Some experimenters prefer the lem
on for this purpose, it being very
susceptible to the eleetrie discharge,
flashing forth at every spark as a
spheroid of brilliant golden light.
The wires used for this purpose
should be brought within about
half an inch of c¢ach other inside
the lemon.
Generuus.
Wife (who is playing chess with
her husband)—Don’t you know that
today is my birthday?
Husband (abstractedly)—Tls it?
“Yes; aren’t you going to give
me anything as a birthday pres
ent ?”
“l had forgotten all about it.
Certainly T’ll give you something,
my dear. I’ll let ycu take a pawn.”
Idiosyncratic Problems.
Sociology, if it is to deserve the
name of science, must goon turn
itself to a quantitative and quali
tative analysis and synthesis of cer
tain phenomena which now go about
unattached, unsheaved. as it were.
For instance, how many freaks does
it take to make one fad, how
many fads to make a fashion? How
many cranks must be gathered to
gether in one place before we have
a cult? What relation does a cult
bear to a movement? What is the
comparative proportion of ideas to
each of the categories here men
tioned?
The permutations and combina
tions of these tentative queries are
infinite.—~Judge’s Library.
Managing John,
“John,” she said softly, “have you
been saying anything about we to
mother lately ?”
“No,” replied John. “Why do
you asgk ?”’
“Because she said this morning
that she believed you were on the
eve of proposing to me. Now, Ido
not wish you to speak to mother
when you have anything of that
kind to say. Speak to me, and I'll
manage the business with mother.”
And John said he would.
