TEN O’CLOCK LINES.
Aa Indian Way of Filing BoundarlM of
Grant, to Whlto Men.
••That's a ten o’clock line.” said an
old gentleman putting his finger on a
delicate line on on« of the Grand Pacific
maps.
“What in creation is a ten o’clock
line?” chorused twoyoung companions
as they traced the line in question from
near the mouth of the Miami river
northwest through Indiana.
“It was the boundary of an Indian
grant—a kind of natural way of survey­
ing. I was down with a party once to
ratify a treaty by which a tribe agreed
to cede some territory to the whites. It
was a small matter, but it was a big
occasion with the savages. Every
thing was ready. The surveyor had
his compass and telescope and had
mounted them on a tripod. The head
man of the tribe came up, looked
steadily at the instrument for awhile,
grunted, and returned to the circle
around the council fire. Not a word
was spoken. Soon another Indian got
up, walked sedately to the instrument,
gravely examined, then grunted, and
in silence returned to his place by the
fire. This example was followed by
half a dozen other bucks. Then they
held a short consultation, and the head
man arose and came over to the white
men.
“ ‘That what Indian know,’ he said,
drawing a small circle on the ground
with a stick, “that what white man
know,’ he continued, drawing a larger
circle around the first. ‘This what
nobody know,’ he concluded, pointing
to all without the last circle. ‘White
man know that,’ pointing to the in­
struments; ‘Indian no know it. Indian
know the sun. Him never cheat. Him
always same. Him throw shadow.
Indian give white man land one side
shadow and keep other side.’ After a
big pow-wow it was decided that a line
drawn in the direction of the sun which
would cast a shadow from an agreed
point at ten o'clock should be made
the boundary of concession, the white
man taking the land on the one side
and the Indian keeping that on the
other. The'other boundaries of the
concession were those of the original
territory of the tribe, supplemented by
watercour*» and ot her natural objects.
These lines were frequently used and
became known .is ‘ten o’clock lines.’”

your esteem and patronage.
Our connections with East­

and manufacturers are such
that we are enabled to
buy these goods as low or
lower than our competitors,
whether general or special
dealers. Buying goods in
greater quantities than most
competitors, and when hand­
ling business of any kind the
volume of business enters
largely into the account in
determining the profit or
margin to be realized out of
it. Therefore all General
Dealers do have an ad­
vantage over special dealers,
and the greater quantity of
goods sold or the volume of
business done, the greater
that advantage and the less
the price ought to be. Hav-
