Not Seeking Fame.

An official of the Indian bureau at Washington tell* a story to illustrate the Indian’s view of newspaper fame. It appears that one Hanley, a Duluth tlmberman, was in charge of a big drive on the St. Croix river, and that on one occasion there was a tremendous jam in th«( vicinity of Taylor’s Falls. The drivers numbered five or six Indians, in addition to the white men. While proceeding with his work of inspection, Hanley passed the Red men, ana called out to them: "See here, my men! Break that jam and I’ll put youi* names in the paper!” One Indian grinned broadly and said: “Six Indians dead in paper, but we not see it!” —Illustrated Sunday Magazine.
