LITTLE INDIAN MAIDS FOR SCHOOL
The Children of some Noted Chiefs Pass
Through to Carlisle.
FOrty-tWO young Indians, ArapahOes
car recently. They were on their way to
the Indian training school, at Carlisle,
and had spent three days on their trip
from Indian Territory. In the party
were sixteen girls, ranging from ID TO is
years Of age, and tWenty-siZ boys, from
u to 20 years old. They were In charge
Of Rev. S. s. HAIRY, who has spent many
years in doing missionary work among
the Indians and is now at the head Of
two Indian schools in the Territory.
Three Of the girls are daughters Of Spot
ted Horse, Stone Calf and Little Robe,
the three chiefs who led the Cheyenne
instruction Of last winter ar1 spring,
which called 5000 United States troops
into the Tertiary, and which kept them
very much iEL rested for several months.
Stone Cali has since been called home to
his father by the Great ManitOu, but
Spotted Horse and Little Robe still run
of fat cattle and steal horses at the same
old stand.
Miss Stone Calls mahogany colored
maiden Of some sixteen summers-ln-
dian summers-Who wore a brigbt red
shawl with ribbons of the same stndng
tint braided In her long black hair. The
recent decease Of her respected and war
like papa had cast no dark and blighting
shadow over her young life, for she
chartered and giggled with Miss Spotted
Horse and other LO girls, as noisy as
nest Of young crows. She is rather pref
ty, with quite regular features, barring
a tendency to hatness on the part of the
nose and an undue familiarity between
the cheekbOnes and eyebrows.
When the train pulled in and the pas
.sengers stepped down for little turn up
and down the platform, considerable in
terest was taken In the Indian boys
walking around near their car. Two Of
the limited passengers, young English
tourists, with pancake travelling caps OF
grey tweed and Eyeglasses, walked over
by the side Of the abOugine special,
right under the window were Miss Stone
Calf sat. 'VeaIly, baW jove," ne draWled
as he adjusted his eye-glass and sur
veyed her critically for some thirty
seconds.
"Awen thawt's haWn Hindian, baW
iove," he continued, while great waves Of
satisfaction rolled over his cOuntenancs
at his remarkable power Of discernment.
The maiden was indignant. She didn't
blush, because she wasn't colOred for
bluahing. She simply gave her red
shawl a hitch that meant volumes Of
swear words, and said: "Whits buck
heap big fool" He removed himself ia
a very short space Of time.
Rev. Mr.. HAIRY says that far better
results have been obtained from educat-
ing both girls and boys than when the
boys alone were given the training. ia
the latter case the boys soon relapzed
into the idle savage ways Of their tribe
forgetting all they had been taught.
Where the girls had been Trained with
them both sexes took pride 10 utilizing
the training they had gained and show
ing their superior attainmeuts.
Starch forms the most important solid
constituent Of the potato. In seasons Of
abundance large quantities are used in
making starch. and this keeps prices up
near starch factories. Bakers use Eota-
toes in making bread, and it is q decided
Improvement, though since wheat -four
has been so cheap no saving is Effected
by using the potato. Only good we'll
ripened potatoes abound IN starch. Those
injured by the potato bug destroying
the vines are Watery and worthless. 1t
