But though the oft-described "res-

mwn to the agile little Indian girl,
(x-ta-oka, whom her father called his

She was as inquisitive as any young

ill of kin'liyi attentions to the Cap­
lin and bestowed on him so many
miles and looks of wandering ouriosi-
r, that Sriiith made much of her in re-

iroutoinsof the American Indians
ever to tell their own names, nor even

A True Mother of Heroes.
A recent, application of a West Vir­
ginian namod Brown at the Pension
Office in Washington brought to light
the fact that one mother had given six­
teen sow to the servioe of the Union
during the war. She had borne thirty-
three children in all. of whom twenty
were boys, and of these only four did
not serve as soldiers in the Union army.
Two were killed and fourteen survive.
Each of the latter is to-day In receipt of
a pension from the Government for
disabilities received in the service, and
the death of her other soldier sons en­
titles the mother also to a pension.
The case is an interesting one, not only
for the remarkable number of sons of
one mother who wore the blue, but as
illustrating how oontsgioui was the
war spirit in some families along the
