RESENTED INSULT TO FLAG Gen. Sherman and James G. Blaine Were Boys Together Eormer Showed the Soldier in Him. When Gen. Sherman was a small boy one of his intimate playfellows was James G. Blaine, says the Llppineott’s Magazine. The two boys, together with Hoyt, a younger brother of the general, were out driving one day, when, as they passed a flag waving in the breeze, ’’Jimmie” Blaine placed a thumb on the tip of his nose and made a very disrespectful gesture toward the banner. ‘‘Did you mean to do Uiat at the flag?” demanded “Cumpie” Sherman, his loyalty outraged. “Yes, I did,” declared Jimmie, .stoutly. "Well, if you do it again, I’ll pu£ you out.” Nothing more was said and the drive proceeded enjoyably. On the way home the flag was passed again, and again Jimmie Blaine put his thumb to the tip of his nose and so forth. Cumpie reined in the horse, took the struggling Jimmie and gently but firmly lifted him out of the wagon. Then, in spite of Hoyt’s remonstrance that that was not the proper way to treat a guest, he drove off, leaving Jimmie to tramp the ten miles home as best he might.

RICH ELK TOOTH BLANKET. Relic of an Old Indian Chief Becomes the Property of a Kansas Editor. The famous elk tooth robe that belonged to a daughter of Old Crow, a Cheyenne chief, has been purchased by the proprietors of the ’Thomas Tribune. This is the robe that attracted so much favorable attention in the metropolitan dailies and magazines last year. Old Crow’s household was loth to part with the relic that had been the pride of the Cheyenne and’ Sioux Indians for several generations. The 728 teeth represent 364 bull elk, as there are only two good teeth in the head of each animal. According to the account of the Tribune, when the robe changed hands “Old Crow’s entire family of about 15 aborigines was present to see that the deal was pulled off according to the latest rules of commerce. When the money was handed over there was a grand rush for the ‘wo-haw’ (meat) market and the ‘chuck’ that was haultd to Old Crow’s tepee that evening was sufficient to feed a company of soldiers. The Indian is a free spender. He believes in the admonition to ‘eat, drink and bo merry, for to-morrow ya may die.’ ” JAPS ARE BUSINESS-LIKE. Scene of Battalion Leaving Tokio for the Front—Military Precision from the First. This is a picture of a battalion leaving Tokio in the Chinese war at the railway station: Suddenly the public are instructed to wait a little and the turnstiles are locked. At last the great iron gates at the end of the platform are opened and the head of the battalion appears. It marches straight on till the leading company arrives at the front carriage. The battalion Is halted, turns toward the train; in- a moment the train is packed as full as it can hold. The guard whistles, the train moves off. There are no friends on the platform—no women—no band playing "The Girl I Left Behind Me.” “All is quiet, all is great;” everything betokens order and quiet determination. Now the train has gone, the great gates are shut, the turnstiles are opened, the ncxi ordinary passengers’ train is ready to depart “on time.” This is as far as I can remember the exact description of a Japanese battalion leaving for the front.in the Chinese war. Who fta resist such a nation as this? Good Piece of Work. It has been found that the Sierra Nevada mountains are 3,000,000 years old. As far as can be learned, says the Chicago Record-Herald, they are still in first-class repair, too.
