FRICK WHARTON'S PERIL
Frick Wharton was an old campaigner
on tho frontier, who had served his coun
try from tho time of tho Custer massacre
until the spring of 1890. His intimate
knowledge of the Northwestern country,
and of tho Indians and their languages,
his perfect horsemanship, his coolness,
pluck and readiness of resource made
nirn a most valuable man as either scout
or interpreter.
He was fond of tho life, and bade
fair to spend all his active years in the
government's service, but he encountered
at last one person who did what no Sioux,
Cheyenne or Ogallala was over able to
do—make him a captive.
That person was a certain blue-eyed
young woman from tho far away New
Eflglund hills, who had como West to
tOlch an agency school, and who said
" f I PS "to the most important question
tbt brave scout ever uttered. As a con
sequence he withdrew from tho service,
and with his savings, which had reached
a respectable sum, bought a ranch in
South Dakota, and sottled down into the
quiet life of a raiser of cattle and tiller
of the soil.
Wharton lived happily enough until
the recent trouble with tho Sioux nation
began. Ho was quick to foroseo the
serious nature of the danger. He knew
the superstitious nature of thoSioux,and
their liability to intense and reckless ex
citement under a religious delusion. The
craze over the expected Messiah, tho
ghost dances, and tho frenzied appeals
of the medicine men were sure to intlumo
the young warriors.
If a war was prevented, it would have
to bo done by men who knew the Indians
well, and wero not afraid of them.
As tho signs of trouble deoponed, Frick
grew more and more reckless. He longed
to leap once more into tho saddle, and
ride to tho scene of tho trouble. It was
to be a battle of wits as well as of arms,
for no poople surpass tho .Sioux in sub
tilty and cunning.
Ho was sure his services would be
welcome, for no ouo knew these people
better than he.
Ono day he broached tho matter ab
ruptly to his wife.
44 Jounie," he said, 44 I've made up my
mind to see the government through in
this thing."
44 1 know it was coming," she said,
"and I have wondered why you didn't
speak of it before."
"How did you know it was coming?"
he asked. "I haven't said a word."
His wife laughed. "Why," she said,
{'ou've been absent-minded, you've had
Ittle appetite, you've walked aimlessly
about, you haven't slept well, aud you've
acted as if there was some heavy trouble
on your mind. It was as plain us could
be what was the inattor."
"Well," he asked, 44 what did you think
about it?"
41 1 thought that if you didn't mention it
pretty soon, I should ask you what in
the world you meant by not offering your
services when your country needed
them!"
Frick did not say much, but kissed bis
wife affectionately, and was prouder than
ever of her. He had made no mistuke
in estimating the sort of stuff she was
made of.
Within a few hours Wharton and his
wife rode away toward I'icrre, where
Jennie was left with friends, and Frick
set out alone for the Pine Kidge Agency
110 intended to offer his services at once
to General Miles.
It was a long ride, but he knew every
milo of the way. It was also a danger
ous ride, for although no open outbreak
had as yet taken placo, Frick hud picked
up enough information on the road to on
able him to decide that the conflagration
was at hand.
On the afternoon of the second day,
when the sun was shining in a clear sky
and the air wus crisp and koen, an In
dian horseman rode over a swell of the
prairie, and by his course showed his wish
to make a closer ucquaintunce with the
scout.
1 rick was not in the habit of running
away from s.ditury Indians, so he drew
the rein of his pony, and with the ani
mal at a moderate walk, awaited the
coming of the warrior who wus in nativo
costume.
Frick kept a sharp eye on hirn, und
held his Winchester reudy, but ho de
tected 110 hostile movement. Presently
he was surprised and pleased to recog
nize the Indian as an Ogallala who in ho
knew very well, and who. through some
queer whim, had received the unoxplain
able name of Brother-of-his-Futher-and-
Mother.
Who was responsible for this amazing
title it is impossible to say, hut sinco it
was too long to he used except on state
occasions, Frick had shortened it to
"Briff" when lie hud occusion to call
the Indian by name.
Briff hud been a friendly Indian for
years. He had been Frtck's companion
on several of his dungerous scouts. The
two had camped together in tlio dismal
gorges und canons of the Black Hills
and Big Horn Mountains. They had
facod the awful blizzard in the land of
the Assinaboine, and starved, suffered
and hunted together until it would seem
that the ties of friendship could not have
been welded moro strongly.
But this was an extraordinary occasion-
Wbarton knew that many friendly In.
dians had como under the influence of
the prevailing superstition and had joined
the ghost-dancers. He shook hands cor
dially with Briff", hut kept a watchful
eye upon hi in.
Brill declared that he was as "good" an
Indian as ever, and that he was on hu
way to Pine Kidge Agency to "help Gen
eral Miles."
The weather grow colder as the day
declined, and when the sun had noarud
the horizon the horsemen headed toward
a wooded ridge, at the base of which they
hoped to find shelter against the cutting
, wind, and fuel for a fire. There was dry
grass, too, for their ponies.
They rodo on silently. Wharton had
not seen another Indian during the day,
and Was sanguine of reaching tho Agency
without collision with them. It was his
wish to avoid any conflict or skirmish
until after roporting at headquarters, for
grave consequences sometimes How ut
. such a juncture from even a trifiiug col
lision.
Tho scout, therefore, uttered an ex
clamation of surprise when, just before
reuchiug the spot selected for their camp,
ho saw the gleuin of a lire through the
trees.
••Hello!" ho exclaimed, bringing his
pony to a halt. ".Some of them are
• there!"
"What matter?" answerod Briff.
"They are my people; they will not
harm you when I am with you."
Frick was not entirely satisfied, but
ho had now full faith in his coinpuuion,
and went on. The two rodo side by side
until they reached the odgo of tho wood.
Briff slipped from his pony first, and
hurried forward as if to open the way for
his friend, who was but a few steps be
hind him. There were three Ogallalas,
and they had noted the horsemen boforo
the latter saw them. They greeted Briff
stolidly, aud each one as stolidly offered
his hand to Frick, as he cumo forward to
the camp-fire where they stood.
It was a proof of Frick's wido ac
quaintance with the red men that ho knew
every one of these Ogallalas and accosted
them by name, in their own lungtingo.
Two were young bucks—both striking
specimens of thoir race, finely formed,
tall and graceful, aud all were well
armed.
The third, known among the white
people us Jim, was un old Indian. Frick
had mot him on tho reservation several
times during his service as scout, and
had never known him to bo engaged in
any trouble. He was taciturn and re
served, like most of his people, and it was
I evident that he, too, recognized the white
I man, whom ho called by name, and re
ferred to tho time when they smoked
their pipes together ut Pino llidge
Agency.
Jim was the last to take tho hand of
Frick, who noticed that his behavior was
peculiar, lie pressed Frick's hand with a
warmth not at all liko an Indian, and
fixing his bluck eyes on those of Frick,
looked searchingly into his face, without
speaking.
Exactly what he mount by this curious
procoduro was more than our friend could
guess, but it had the effect to make him
watch tho two young Ogallalas closely.
They had prepared a joint of venison,
of which all partook. The Ogallalas
showed no disposition to "turn in" for
the night: they mounted soon, and rode
to tho eastward, and Wharton thought it
best to press on toward the Agency. Ho
and Briff, therefore, said good-by for
mally to their late hosts, and rode south
ward in tho gathering dusk.
Frick had become convinced that tho
three Ogallalas were hostile, and that
when tho outbreak cumo they would be
among the fiercest of tho warriors.
The young bucks showed suppressed
excitement in every movement, and
Wharton was sure that nothing but
Briff"'B influence restrained them from
pouncing upon him.
Briff had exchanged whispered words
with the bucks. Frick had no doubt that
theso words were in his behalf. But had
the Ogallalas disappeared for good when
they vanished across the prairie in the
gloom?
As the scout and tho Indian rode along
Briff was silent, communing with him
self. When Frick questioned him, he
said that he had sought to dissuade Jim
und his companions from joining in the
hostilities that were soon to breuk out,
but that his good words were thrown
away.
Briff showed no disposition to talk fur
ther, and Frick did not press hi in. They
rodo on in silence.
The weather was still keenly cold, but
tho ground was free from snow, and tho
ponies loped forward at an easy gait.
The full moon rose. It was obscured
now and then by drifting clouds, so that
sometimes they saw but a little way,
[ while at other times their view was un
obstructed for a considerable distance.
Loss than an hour after starting, the
observant Frick noticed that his compan
ion, instead of keeping his pony beside
his, showed a disposition to fall to the
rear. When he first discovered it, Briff'
was twenty feet behind him.
| Frick looked suddenly back and abated
| his own gait, so as to permit the Indian
to draw up ugain.
"Is your horse tired ? " asked Frick.
"I'm ufraid so."
"Then we'll go slower."
Briff rode up, and they went side by
side again. But as Frick strained his
eyes looking at some object in a distant
bolt of moonlight, ho noticed Briff was
again dropping behind.
Without appearing to divert his atten
tion from the distant object, Wharton
watched the Indian, and made sure that
he was holding in his animal. Frick did
the same, and they were side by side
again.
Frick said nothing, but just at this
moment ho caught the sound of horses'
hoofs on the prairie to the eastward.
"Those fellows arc coming back," he
thought, "and there will bo trouble."
The noise of the hoofs was heard onlv
for a moment, as though it had been
thrown forward by a puff of wind, or an
animal had stumbled. Without attract
ing the attention of the Indian, Frick
glanced in the direction whence the sound
came, but could see nothing of the horse
men from whom he had parted but a
short time before. He said nothing of
what he hud heard, and Briff* held his
peace, though he must have noted it.
With abeiief that a crisis was at hand,
Frick held himself keenly on the alert.
Ho was looking for the new-comers, and
for the moment withdrew his attention
from Briff, who was on the opposite side
of him. A scout, howover, never quite
loses sight of anything, and he quickly
turned to look at his companion.
lie was not a moment too soon. Briff
had brought his pony to a stop, less than
twenty feet distant, and was in the act
of leveling his Winchester at Brick. The
scout had no time in which to anticipate
him in fironp; he dropped, therefore, on
the other side of the animal, with the
quickness of lightning.
The bullet intended for the white man
missed him by an inconceivably narrow
cluincc, and almost at the saino instant,
Briff tumbled headlong from bis horse.
The clouds at that moment brushed
past the face of the moon, and its light
shone out full and clear. Through the
gloom, the figure of an Ogallala horse
man assumed shape, as he galloped
toward Frick. The scout with his rifle
pointed across the saddle of his pony,
waited to recoivo him.
He held his fire, howover, for he had
i already perceived that it was tho new
comer's weapon which had brought down
Briff in the very act of shooting his
friend.
It was Jim, the Ogallala, who with a
friendly greeting to Frick, made clear
the moaning of what had taken place.
Briff, be said, had become one of the
most fanatical of all tho ghost-dancers,
and his sudden hatred of the white peo
ple was intense. When ho joined Frick,
ho undoubtedly meant to kill him at
the first opportunity. Well aware of the
bravery and skill of the white man, and
cowardly at heart as ho must have been,
Briff hud shrunk from acting until he
seemed to have Frick quite at his
mercy.
When Jim saw tho two in company, he
road Briff's purpose at a glance. His
retention of Frick's hand, and the search
ing look into his eyes, was meant to warn
him of his peril, uud to learn if ho sus
pected it.
BrifPs whispered words to the two
young warriors were really an urgent
counsel to them to fall upon tho
scout and kill him then and thero.
They would have done so but for the
course of Jiin, who told them that if they
tried it he would join the white man in
defending himself. Briff had then de
clared that ho would manage it alone.
Jim knew his intention, and after riding
a short distance with tho two bucks, he
told them to keep on their course, and
that he would join them soon. Then he
rode back, determined to warn Frick of
his danger.
He arrived in the nick of time.
K I fight you when we meet in battle —
not like him" said Jim, as ho wheeled
and rode off to rejoin his companions.
Jim did fight after tho manner of his
people at Wounded Knee, where he was
one of the first to go down. Frick was
not present at that fierce conflict, but
when he learned of his fall, he said:
" Some Indians may be devoid of
gratitude and honor. Briff was one of
that kind, but Jim was not."—[Youth's

A Cocoanut Festival.
Hindoos of all classes celebrated the
Cocoanut Festival in the late summer,
when thousands of cocoanuts, with flowers
and sugar-candy, were thrown into thoscu
at Chowpatty.the Kennedy Sea Face, and
at Modykhana, to bespeak tho favor of
the seu-god towards those who during the
ensuing year, intended to embark upon
commercial enterprises and trust them
selves and their goods to his inorcy. The
festival is known among tho natives us
the Sharavani or Narel l'urnimu festival,
which is considered to mark the begining
of the end of tho monsoon. Tho dato of
tho festival varies, but it generally occurs
towards the end of the month of August.
Early in the morning of tho day the
Hindoos and their familios, young
and old, dress themselves in their best
clothes and pass tho day in tho inter
changing of social amenities. In tho
afternoon, tho children and adults deck
themselves with ornaments, and in the
company of the older members of tho
families, with cocoanuts and flowers in
their hands, take their way towards tho
sea at Hack Hay or Mody Hay. Tho
donsest crowds of the native population
are seen swarming all over the Esplanado,
converging from different parts of the
city, to witness the fair held in honor of
the day. This fair is u curious enough
sight in its way, many of its attractions
being common at an ordinary native fair.
The shops and booths erected in long
lines along the verge of the Cruickshank
road for the sale of trinkets and sweet
meats, English and native, attract a largo
amount of profitable business. Rings of
people ure formed here and there to wit
ness the feats of wrestlers and fencers,
or tho antics of cunning wagherics, or to
listen to the tales of the prowess of Kuinu
or the amours of Krishnu, which aro re
cited by wandering minstrels with accom
paniment of their uncouth instruments.
The Target for Wits.
Wits liavo often made merry at tho ex
pense of women financiers, and have
written up some real and many imaginary
stories of the way women iimko a mess
of it in banking business. It has been
charged, for instance, that women are so
busy with drawing out funds that they
often fail to appreciate the necessity for
first putting in funds against which to
draw. There is a venerable and oft
peated joke of this nature which repre
sents a woman saying to her husband;
"Why, my money is all gone, and my
check book is not half used up!"
"About all tho faults that can be found
with women depositors apply equally to
men," said an official in one of the banks.
"We have to watch both men and women
to see that they do not overdraw their
accounts. We have both men and wom
en customers whom wo can trust and do
trust to ovordraw. Wo have fussy men
us well as fidgety women. We have
men as well us women whose ac
counts aro small. Possibly it may bo
true that women's accounts aro the loan
side of the business, but it must bo re
membered that when all these accounts
arc udded up they make a very handsome
showing and average a good round sum.
"As for mistakes and fuss, tho men
who open hunk accounts also make them.
The women are quick to learn tho
methods. They are quite us apt to keep
good bulunces us men ure. Thoy are
quite us prudent as men, and the average
of downright dishonesty is to the ad
vantage of the women's side. I mean
that they are quite as honest us tho men,
fi not more so."—[Chicago Heruld.

DIAMONDS.
CUTTING AND POLISHING THE
PRECIOUS STONES.
The Diamonds in a Rough State—
How They Are Cut Into Various
Shapes and Polished —Delicate and
Difficult Operations,
When the diamond is brought out of
its rough state it is simply tested and
registered by the diamond experts, and a
duty paid upon it. It is thou carefully
packed, and shipped to the cutting estab
lishments thousands of miles away, for
very little of this work is dono in South
[ Africa. In India tho ancients cut their
own diamonds, but they never followed
the rules which are adopted to-day. and
the brilliancy of their stones wus never
thoroughly developed.
The precious gems aro soon sorted out
in the cutting establishment, and each
one registered und marked with certuin
directions for cutting. Now the size und
shape of the diamond generally decides
its value after all. Some aro elongated
and not very thick while others are nearly
round. Owing to tho shape, some cannot
be cut after the most approved fashion
without losing nearly one-half of their
size. They are then cut after other pat
terns which soorn better suited to their
general shupo. Tho most procious dia
monds are worked into the shupe of tho
brilliant, which is like two truncated
pyramids placed base to base. Tho less
precious ones are cut with less regularity,
und after simpler patterns. The vulue
of a diamond can thus often be partly
determined by the number of angles
which it has. A poor one will not havo
many, while an exceptionally rich one
wall have many to develop its full bril
liancy.
The more angles that any white stone
or piece of glass is cut into the more it
will Hash, for tho rays of light will be
cut up by the angles, and made to Hash
out into innumerable smaller rays. This
is one of tho principles of diamond cut
ting, but the angles must all be cut after
some general rule, or tho whole work
will be spoilt. Also there is a certain
point beyond which the rays of light be
come mingled and confused so that the
good effect is ruined.
Of lato ycurs paste diamonds, imita
tion diamonds, and glass diumonds have
been placed upon the market in quanti
ties, und it is difficult to distinguish
many of these from tho genuine article.
They are cut in the most approved stylo,
and a good quurtz diamond, cut in tho
shape of a brilliant, makes a very effoe
tive show. Its value, however, is less
than one-twentieth of that of a diamond
of similar size and shupo. Gluss cut in
prism shupo will illustrate tho value of
angles in any transparent body, and
glass diumonds can often bo cut so ther
they roscinblo greatly tho pure watat
gems. Fine, large diamonds are so very
expensive that many wealthy people pre
fer to wear the iinitutious 011 general oc
casions, and loave the genuine stones for
only very important und special times.
After tho diamonds have been assigned
to their respective cases in tho cutting
establishment, the cleaving operation is
tho first one through which they pass.
This is dono generally by hand, and it
consists in splitting off pieces of tho
rough gem. Every stone and mineral
has its lino of cleavago, as it is termed
in geology, and tho diumond has minute
striatums which dotermino its cleavage
plane. The stone is mounted on a wood
en luindlo by cement, and the cleaver is
then pressed slowly against it until u
notch is formed. Tho fragment of an
other diamond, mounted on a bundle, und
placed in a machine, generally does this
work. Then the diamond is held firmly
011 tho table, and a sharp-edged knife is
placed in the notch, and the buck of tho
knife struck sharply with an iron rod.
The piece is split off with one blow, and
a bright dear faoe is left exposed. All
rough diamonds are treated in this way,
and a great deal of skill and knowledge
is required to do the work successfully.
After tho cleaving tho cutting opera
tion is brought into requisition. A ma
chine has been introduced to do this
work, aud very little of it now is per
formed by hand. Hut tho operation is
nearly tho same, only the machine is.
more accurate. One diamond is rubbed
against another until they uro cut in the
proper way. The operator has to watch
carefully, and as soon as tho face is
properly worn upon the stone the work
must cease, or tho gem will be ruined.
One extra stroke or turn of tho machine
may decronso the value of tho diamond
greatly. Even when the stone is taken
from the machine the finishing of the
edges and faces must bo done by band.
Tho polishing follows the cutting. Tho
diamond is placed in another handle, or
"dopp," as it is called. A horizontal
disk of iron with a groove in it revolves
at a spoed of twenty thousand revolu
tions per minuto, but with a motion so
steady that the wheel appears to bo mo
tionless. The disk is wetted well with
olivo oil and diamond dust, and the dia
mond is placed upon this disk at the
proper angle. Tho polishing consists in
cutting as well ns rubbing, and the dia
mond is thus finished off and made as
brilliant as possible. The time required
for polishing depends upon the diamond,
and some require near double tho time
and work that others do. After the pol
isher is thoroughly arranged, the opera
tor can leave it to do its work alone, hut
ho frequently bus to inspect the gem to
see that it is not bearing on too much ut
one ungle.
The sotting of tho diamonds is an en
tirely distinct work, and is not generally
performed in the same factory. The
diamonds, after being polished, are ready
for the wholesale dealers, and they are
shipped to all parts of tho globo. Each
individual jeweler sots them to suit him
self, in rings, watches, breast-pins, ear
drops, and hundreds of other pieces of
jewelry.—[The Epoch.
Peculiarities of French Bread.
In Paris bread is indeed the "staff of
life." It is carried about the streets
without even a string around it. Women
clasp the long rolls affectionately to their
bosoms and rest the ends against their
hair. Men forget that it isn't a cane
they are carrying and rap the end of the
loaf on the pavement us they walk. I
saw a little hoy in the dirt by the Seine
using a long piece of breud for a play
thing. Presently he wiped it upon his
dress and took a mouthful. I saw a
woman in the Luxembourg Gardens cosi
ly hugging a great round loaf —without
any wrapper, please remember. Wo
heard angry voices before our window,
and beheld a woman thumping a man
with a fresh baked roll. It broke in two,
but the woman beat a tattoo on his buck
with the pieces. When we go to buy
bread we are tempted to ask: "How
much is it a yard?" We are sure the
French people never die of lockjaw, for
any grinding apparatus that can stand
the test of years on this bread can stand
unything.—[Paris Letter to Chicago

Wonderful Gold Mine.
One of the wonders of Australia,
and one of the greatest natural curi
osities in the world, is the Mount
Morgan gold mine In Queensland.
The precious metal contained in this
nitne, which has paid a dividend of
not less than $6,000,000 in a year, was
deposited by a hot spring.
Mount Morgan is a hill about 500
feet high, containing at its top a cup
shaped deposit made by the hot spring
which once gushed out there, and in
this deposit the gold exists. Truly a
cup of Croesus! Through untold ages
the waters dropped their glittering
burden, and now man comes and ex
tracts thelmarded metal to add to the
wealth of the world.
Specimens of the ore from this
strange mine have recently been sent
to the United States, that they might
be compared with the deposits of the
great hot springs in our own Yellow
stone l'ark. It was hut natural to
suppose that the Yellowstone springs
had also a golden treasure in their
cups, but the most careful search by
geologists has thus far failed to de
tect any trace of it.

"German
Syrup"
Here is an incident from the South
—Mississippi, written in April, 1890,
just after the Grippe had visited that
country. "I am a farmer, one of
those who have to rise early and
work late. At the beginning of last
Winter I was on a trip to the City
of Vicksburg, Miss.,where I got well
drenched in a shower of rain. I
went home and was soon after seized
with a dry, hacking cough. This
grew worse every day, until I had
to seek relief. I consulted Dr. Dixon
who has since died, and he told me
to get a bottle of Boschee's German
Syrup. Meantime my cough grew
worse and worse and then the Grippe
came along and I caught that also
very severely. My condition then
compelled me to do something. I
got two bottles of German Syrup. I
began using them, and before taking
much of the second bottle, I was
entirely clear of the Cough that had
hung to me so long, the Grippe, and
all its bad effects. I felt tip-top and
have felt that way ever since."

Taking butter from milk
was known in the earliest
times. It was left for our
time to make a milk of cod
liver oil.
Milk, the emulsion of but

butter. Scott's Emulsion of
cod-liver oil is an easier food
than cod-liver oil. It is rest
for digestion. It stimulates,
helps, restores, digestion;
and, at the same time, sup
plies the body a kind of
nourishment it can get in no

KENDALL'S SPAVIN CURL
BELVKRNON, Pa., Nov. 27, '9O.
Da. B. J. KENDALL CO. :
Gents—l would like to make known to those who
are almost persuaded to use Kendall's Spavin Cure
the fact that I think it Is a most excellent Liniment.
I have used iton a Blood Spavin. The horse went on
three legs for three years when 1 commenced to
use your Keudall's Spavin Cure. I used tea bot
tles ou the horse ana have worked him for three
yearasluce aud has not beeu luinc.
Yours truly, WM. A. CURL.

Gents: In praise of Kendall's Spavin Cure I will
say. t hat ayeur ago I hud n valuoble young horse be
come very lame,liock enlarged and swollen. The
horsemen about here (we have no Veterinary Sur
geon here) pronounced his lameness Blood Spavlu
or Thoroughpln, tlicy all told me there was no A,
cure for It, he became about useless, and 1 con
sidcred him almost worthless. A friend told me of
the merits of your Kendall's Spavin Cure, BO I
bought a bottle, nnd I could see very plainly great
Improvements immediately from Its use,nnd before
the bottle was used up 1 was satisfied that It was
doing him a great deal of good. I bought a second
bottle and before it was used up my horse was
cured and has been in the team doing heavy work
all the season since last April, showing no more
signs of 1L 1 consider your Kendall's Spavin Cure
a valuable medicine, and it should be in every
etablo in the land. Respectfully yours.
