1881 the total area devoted to wheat
culture was 2, ,SS4. 100 acres; in 1882 it
had decreased to 2.S29. 969, notwith-
standing the fact that the area under
cultivation had increased by more than
4S6. 600 acres. The gradual abandon
ment Of the old system is'-apparent

Mounting a Dromedarr.


This is accomplished as follows: A
Bedouin by divers jerks first succeeds
in coaxing or forcing the animal down
on his knees, with a snap like that of
double e-bladed jack-knife. While one
holds his head away to keep him from
biting, another ties his forelegs togeth-
er, and then TO secure them stands up
on them to secure them, inviting you to
mount and fix yourself in tho execra
BILE saddle. In the meantime the dro-
medary is uttering the most agonixing

grunt and you discover that you are on

patiently further developments, with
your hands grasping the horns in front
and rear. The animal raises his fore
quarters with a bound, and this sticks
the front horn in your stomach, while
you are pressing upon it to keep it in q
horizontal position; that done. up goes
the hindquarters with another jerk, and
this time the rear horn sticks you in
the back. You are only too glad to gel
the rear punch in token of the com

STEALING THE REMAINS.
"a wandering phrenologist on one
occasion stole the skull of the chief
from the grave, but it was afterward
recovered. The bones, with those Of
several other chiefs, now lie hermeti-
cally sealed in vault of the Western
Savings Bank. 1t is proposed to inter
these remains in the lot secured for
that purpose at Forest Lawn. The
services proposed for this occasion will
be very elaborate, and, among other
things. it is intended to invite num-
Der of Indian chiefs to the ceremony.

prayer was granted. There is alarge

and was impressed by the Indians gift
of oratory-so much SO that when in
1925 he revisited Buffalo he asked for
the young Indian who SO eloquently
opposed the burial of the tomahawk.
The old chief was among the crowd
gathered to see the famous visitor, and
he announced his identity with pride
He was warmly greeted by the French
generals and a number of interesting
"reminiscences were recalled by each.
Mrs. Lewis F. Stevens, who, it is said,
was one of the first women in Buffalo
visited the society's rooms recently
and seeing the picture of Red Jacket
recognized the likeness with eviden
pleasure. stating that when she was ;
little girl the chief had often dandled
her in his arms"

eorrespondenf Of the New York
Tslegrant. writing from Waterloo.
says: The movement looking toward
the erection Of = monument to Red
Jacket is creating considerable inter-
est here. Many strangers also visit
the house Of Mr. Frederick II Furniss.
where the model Of the monument is
on exhibition. Among the relics of Red
jacket that MIR. Furniss has in his pos
sessiorais life-size painting Of him

F. I Hart, from the original painting
BY the noted artist Weir" Of New
YORK. In 1928. Red Jacket was on 3
visit to New York then. and was per-
suaded BY ,his friend. Dr.. Francis, to
allow his portrait TO be painted. DR..
Francis saws: The chief dressed him.
self with great care in costume he
thought thc,most becoming and appro-
pirate. decorated with his brilliant war
dress. tomahawk and Washington
medal. While around him groups OF
Indians were reclining upon the floor.
he stood erect and firm, his lofty and
capaeious forehead. his piercing black
eye, his gently curved lips, fine cheek
and aquiline nose all marked the great
man. Efforts were frequently made
prior to this time TO induce Red Jacket
70 sit for his portrait. but he always
refused. and frequently remarked.
when Red Jacket dfes All mar belongs
to him shall die too" DIR. Francis,
however. reasoned with the Indian
and finally succeeded.
The base of the monument to be
erected here consists of a granite
boulder in its natural shape. A marble
shaft over six feet in hight surmounts
the base and is cut in the shape of an
Indian arrowhead. pointing upward.
Suitable inscriptions are on the two
medallions sunken. one into each of
the stones. On the top of the boulder,
just over the medallion. will be fasten-
ed an iron tomahawk and a pipe,
crossed.
When Red Jacket died his remains
were buried in one of the Indian ceme-
teries which were located in the reser-
vations on the outskirts of Buffalo. For
some time no stone marked his grave.
However, in the year 1910 or there
abouts, Henry Placide, noted
comedian of that day. was playing at
the Buffalo Theater,' a playhouse
then situated on the southwest corner
of South Division and Washington
streets. Learning that 10 monument
marked the grave of the noted chief
tain, Placide ordered slab erected
and an inscription chiselled on it The
stone is at present among the relics of
the society. 1t is of marble, about
half an inch in thickness and twenty
inches wide. 1t would stand, when
placed in position, about two feet
above the ground. The top of the
stone containing the name Of the In
dian has been broken of. The remain
