He Enjoyed the Pass.

Great men do not always write in the grand manner, but Crowfoot, the Blackfoot chief, was not wanting in this respect. He received a perpetual pass over the Canadian Pacific Railroad, and in acknowledgment of liis thanks sent the following letter: “Great Chief of the Railway: I salute you, 0, Chief. O, great, lam pleased with railroad key, opening road free to me. The chains and rich covering of your name writing, its wonderful power to open the road, show the greatness of your chieftness. i i have dona Crowfoot.” Judge —The last .time you were here for stealing didn’t you promise to reform if I’d let you go ? Prisoner—l am reforming, Judge. I used to steal every day, and now I steal only twice a week. If you let me go a littie while longer I think I’ll be cured. “No, thank you, Cleopatra,” quoth Antony that happy Sunday afternoon at dinner. “I’ll not partake of that delicacy. It was a Roman r >unch that killed my good friend Cicsar.”
