~ I cst Of Indian n ,urnKe.

AN Indian intcr-tribal fair was held
not long ago, in the Indian Territory
III order to show some Of the results Of
civiliZinG the snYngcs. a number of
tribes attended and displayed articles
OF homo manufacture, such as needle
work, embroidery. laccwork and
blnnkets. Many of the Indians had
their photographs taken, and showed
childish delight In looking at their
faces. Olhcr, however, could not be
persuaded to 90 near tho camera. yell

won't quietly back to his chair, and sat
there like Il statue while his negative

Cheyenne warrior WAS a greater brave
than he. The gigantic Osages, Oh the
other hand, would not approach the
tent. They said the camera robs them
OF their good spirits. Tho Kickapoos
gave the same reason, and the photo
graphor was peremptorily ordered out
of their country on That account. The
Indian is Il profound believer In tho
power Of spirits for good or evil, and
takes care never to offend them.

to keep them for a length of time In

plan recommended by a California

thinly on shelves or tables for a few

cover libcrally the bottom OF any salt
