The Beautiful Indian Maiden as
Bill Nye Sees Her.

Cheyenne Indian Agency is the
regular s!aughterhouse matinee. The
agency butchers kill at the rate Of
ten bullocks per hour 1T work, and sc
great was the rush to the slaughter
pens for the internal economy Of the
slaughter animals that Major Love
found it necessary of erect box-office
and gate where none but those
holding tickets could enter and
provi' themselves with these
delicacles.
This is not a sensation, it is not
the plain truth. and we desire to call
the attention to those who love
and admire the In Ian at distance of
TWO thousand miles to the aesthetic
love for the beautiful which promts
the crooked fringed an6 iusky bride
Of old Fly-up-the Greek to rob the
soap grease man and the rlue-factOry
that she may make Cheyenne holi-
DAY. As matter of fact common
decency will not permit us to eater in
to the discussion of this matter
Firstly, it would not be fit for the
high order o. readers who are now pay
ing their money for the Boomerang 4,
and secondly, the Indian maiden at
the present moment stands on a lofty
crag of the Rocky Mountains. beauti.
ful in her wild simplicity, wearing the
fringed garments of her tri,e. To the
sentimentalist. she appears outlined
against the glorious sky of the new
west. wearing coronet of eagles feath-
ers and health cOrse: trimmed with
fantastic bead work and wonderful and
impossible designs aud savage art.
Shall we. then, rush in and with
ruthless hand shatter this beautiful
picture! Shall we portray her as she
appears on her return home from the
great slaughter-house beseft and NOR
alaggregatien ofdigestive mementoes !?
Shall we draw a picture of her. clothed
in horse blanket with q necklace of
the false teeth of the pale-face, and
her coarse unkempt hair hanging over
her smoky features and clinging to her
warty neck!
No. no! Far be it from US to de-
stroy the lovely vision of copper-color-
ed grace and smoke-tanned beauty,
which the freckled student of the effete
east has erected in the rose-hued cham
bers of fancy. Let her dwell here as
the plump-limbed princess of a brave
people. Let her adorn the hat-rack
of bis imagination, proud. beautiful,
grand. gloomy and peculiar, while as
matter of fact she is at that moment
leaving the vestibule of the slaughter
house, conveying in the soiled laprobe,
which is her sole adornment, the man.
sled lungs of q Texas steer.
No man shall ever say that we have
bursted the beautiful Cigar Sign Wis
ion that he has erected in his memory:
Let the graceful Indian queen that has
lived on in his heart ever since he
studied history and saw the graphic
picture of the landing of Columbus.
in which Columbus is just unsheath-
ing his bread knife. and the stage In
dams are fleeing to the tall brush, let
her. we say, still live. The ruthless
hand that writes nothing but everlast-
ing truth, and the stub pencil that
yanks the cloak of the false and ar.
t;fcial from cold and unpalpatable
fact, will spare the little imaginary
Indian maiden with a back comb
and gold garters. Let her withstand the
onward march of centuries while the
true Indian maiden eats the fricassed
locust of the plains and wears the
cavalry pants of progress. We may
be rough and thoughtless many times,
but we cannot come forward and
ruthlessly shatter the red goddess
at whose shrine the far away student
Of Blackhawk and other Fourth
Reader warriors worships.
As We said, we decline to pull the
cloak from the true Indian maiden of
to-day and show her ~ she is. That
cloak may be all she has on. and
no gentleman will be rude even to
the daughter of old Bob Tail Flush,
the Cheyenne brave.
Making q Daddy Of a Young Man
Chicago Times.
Most people have seen the series of
pictures that are used for advertising
entitled I'm a daddy
These are laug bable, representing the
face of q man when he hears the news
that his irst-born has arrived. also his |
face when he learns that they are
twins. as we'll rs when he is informed |
later that he is the father Of triplets. |
and so on up to five children when his
face is picture of despair.
