THE TOWN PHYSICIAN.
poctor Jack?—what!—he fifty!
>.ow come all ye thrifty—
J£v ry man Ills voice left—he
Must sing high and loud:
Give a rouse, mds,
(jive a rouse, lads,—
Ev’ry heart in the crowd!
Country doctor, this man is;
Drugs and laughter his plan is;
Banes, farmhands and grannies
'Testify to his skill:—
Mother and man. s.r
They will answer
With a cheer and a will.
He’s as brown as the heather:—
Fun, hardship and weather
All working together his
Have seasoned age
To tlie queerest
And dearest
Antic boy and grown sage.
Up he’ll get In the night time.—
Drop his axe in the light time
Any time is the right time
Uo heed the poor’s call—
Even when he’s
Horse-racing
Or playing baseball!
Come when he Is sent for?
Wliat else is he meant for!
But it’s what you’ll repent for
If you send without cause:
Being sorry
Will hardly
Appease him—so pause.
Faith!—betimes he’s clean cranky.
Then (Moody and Sankey!)
Better step aside thanky’—■ ,
But never drop out:—
When he’s wry, lads,—
Stand right by, lads,—
Fay his debts with a shout!
For we know he’s as tender
A mother’s defender
When dark fears attend her.
Fighting death with his might—
Mother and man, sir,
They will answer knight.
With a prayer for this
Rougli and brown as the heather:
Fun, hardship and weather
All working together his
Have seasoned age
To the queerest
And dearest
Warm heart and sweet sage.
Big, sport-'ioving, thrifty—
Queer, tender and nifiy—
Sentimental and fifty— him:—loud
That’s the way of
Shake It out, then, ,
In a shout, men,— crowd!

Indian Princess. 1

Tcc-me-ta-n8 Was Friend of Both the *>
a *
Indians and the White Men. *
*
❖ *
From Gen. O. O. Howard’s “Famous ❖
Indian Chiefs” in St. Nicholas. ❖
We called her Sarah Winnemucca,
of the mint family? Well, Tcc-me-to
which means shell-flower. Have you
ever seen these flowers growing in an
old garden among tlieii man. cousins
of the mint family? Well, docme-to
ne loved them of all flowers best, for
was she not herself a shell-flower?
Her people were Piute Indians, and
they lived in every part of what is
now the great state of Nevada.
Toc-me-to-ne had a flower name, so
she was followed to take part in the
children’s flower festival, when all
the little girls dance and sing, holding
hands and making believe that they
are the very flowers for which they
are named. They wear their own flow
res, too, and after they have sung to
gether for a while one will dance off
on the grass by herself while all the
boys and girls look on and she sings:
I am a daisy gold and white
Somebody catch me—me!
The grown-up people watch, too, as
their children play, and Toc-me-to-ne
was never happier than when, light as
a bird, she danced and sang her shell
flower song:
See me- see me, a beautiful flower,
Give me a hand and a dance.
Then after the plays and dancing
the children had all sorts of good
things to eat, and the flower festival
was over for a year.
Only three times did Toc-me-to-ne
take part in the flower festival, for
when she was quite a little girl her
grandfather, Chief Winnemucca, took
his family and went to live in Cali¬
fornia, and when they came back she
was almost grown up.
Her grandfather was very fond of
her, and called her sweetheart, so she
was sad and lonesome indeed when he
left her and went to the Happy Spirit
Land; but she did not forget his last
words to her before he went. “Sweet
heart,” he said, “do not forget my
white brothers; be kind to them and
they will be kind to you and teach you
manv In'California things.”
the old chief gave to
grandchildren new names—Natchez,
Lee, Mary and Sarah, and Sarah
learned to speak fairly good English,
Later, when she came to Pyramid
lake, she played with Mr. Ormsby’s
children and learned to speak better
English. Besides this Mrs. Ormsby
taught her to cook and sew and to do
housework
When Sarah was fifteen years J old
she made the long 500-mile journey to
California once more with her broth
ers and sister and her grandmother,
Her brothers took care of cattle for
good Mr. Scott, who had known and
loved Chief Winnemucca, and he gave
them good wages, several fine horses,
and two ponies for Sarah and Mary to
ride. The sisters had always ridden
bareback like Indian men, but when
Christmas came Sarah was surprised
to find a beautiful Mexican side-sad
die from her brother Lee, and she
learned to ride like the white ladles,
and was very proud and happy.
Now the Piutes always would wan¬
der about. They lived by hunting and
fishing, not by farming, so they
moved from place to place wherever
there was game. "When they were In
the mountains rough white settlers
came to Pyramid lake and caught al¬
most all of the fish with nets, so that
there were no fish when the Indians
returned. This made the Indians an¬
gry, and so trouble began. All this
time Sarah was in California, Her
father, Chief Wiunemueca Second, and
her mother were in Nevada, and she
often heard good news fiom them, but
one spring when she was seventeen
years old two Indians came bringing
the news from her father that he was
in the mountains and wanted all his
children to come to him, but especially
Sarah.
Starting nn on ... their ponies __. they began
the journey, riding beside the wagon
where the grandmother rode. It took
twenty-five days to reach Carson City,
but here their father and mother met
them, and next day all went to see
Gov. Nye, whom Sarah told in English
what her lather, the chief, wanted to
say.
Gov. Nye was very jolly and good,
and when he knew how things really
were he told the white settlers not to
interfere with the Indians, and sent
soldiers from the fort to drive the
rough men away; so Gov. Nye and
Chief Winnemucca , became good ,
friends, as they never could have been
but for little Toc-me-to-ne and her
bright interpretations.
For the next year Sarah talked
both Piute and English, and settled
r ,v little troubles She „ c.,H
f.iend both by the Indians and sol
dlers, and her father and she thought
often of old Chief Winnemucca’s
words and kept peace with their white
brothers.
SACRED TEXT BOOKS CHEAP.
Religious and Other Works, Once
High Priced, Go for Little.
The days when the poor hero work
ed , three ,, months ,, to earn a ,. Life r .. of »
Washington are at an end. An old
bookseller in Twenty-second street is
selling off the classic biography for
five cents each. Any poor scholar
may also purchase a complete Greek
course, including grammar, prose com¬
position. analysis, and the Iliad for 25
cents. The first three go for a nickel
each, while the immortal Homer is
held at a dime.
The' Latin classics r rr equally low
priced. The part! - 1 : ■ jt mi) can have
his choice of seven y grammars at a
nickel apiece, als, ozose sentenc
es, Caesar, Ciceio. ; 1 d Nepos. The
translations fo; Uk :rue works come
higher, though, o the expectation
that there will be more demand for
the “literal” than L.- original.
If the classics are ..t a discount,
theology has even 'ess to boast of.
Religious works, including Bossuet,
Edwards, Calvin, and later lights may
be had “six for a quarter.” Opening
the covers of the old-time theological
works, the stam‘> r ihe Young Worn
en’s Christian Association appears.
Equally startling are (he many “best
sellers,” appearing on the second¬
hand shelves. The bookman himself
believes that this i (he result of lack
of space in the moiiern flat. “Haven’t
got room for ’em. Wouldn’t want to
read ’em again if you kept ’em ten
years, so they just bring them in in
bundles,” he explains.
A shrewd second-hand buyer gets a
lot of reading for his money. One man
brought in an almost new copy of a
$1.50 novel, for which he was allowed
to select a 75-eent volume. On re¬
turning this he had 00 cents’ credit
to read out, and selected a history.
This was in turn exchanged for a best
seller going at 50 cents, The man
continued >!h 1 process, ending with
“Dangerous Ground,” and “The Rival
Sleuths,” two for a nickel, having had
in all a chance to read nine books for
the price of liis first novel.—New York
Times.
Vandykes That Were Forgeries.
The trial of art dealers at Genoa for
smuggling seven famous Vandykes
from the Cattaneo palace has result
ed in an acquittal. It was proved tha,
six of the pictures had never left th«
palace—the smuggled woixs of art
bein S forgeries. This recalls the out
burst of indignation in Italy some
years ago concerning a Dap ia< "hich
was secretly conveyed lo America for
a well known millionaire. That it was
ff genuine Raphael the most skilful
experts in the United States had no
doubt, and it bore the great aitists
unmistakable signature. But, much to
Italy’s relief, a closer examination of
the canvas proved it to be a clever
forgery, which was afterwards traced
to a studio in Rome, whore “Old Mas¬
ters” were turned out by the dozen.—

•Joshua 1:9—“Have I not commanded

Moses is dead. Joshua, the son of
Nun, the minister of Moses, leads.

years Moses had led Israel; led her
in the face of discouragements and
disagreements, against the will of

done. The task for which he was
particularly fitted was completed. A

The old leader was dead. Tliaanew

Joshua is not Moses. But even as
Moses was the man of the hour, so
