CRICKET SONG.

Chirp, mad cricket, in the grain
Chirp, thing garrulous and free;
II thy chirping could be words,
Tell me what the words would be?
Chirp shrill, chirp soft,
Pipe high, pipe low:
In vines, aloft,
In grain, below;
Only tell-were kinds spoke,
If in words thy tumult broke?
Cricket, would thy words be wise,
Or of tender things, and sweet,
II you sent out verbal song,
and not clatter, from the wheat
Chirp shrill, chirp soft,
Pipe high, pipe low;
In vines, aloft,
In grain, below;
Only tell-were kind words spoke,
If in words thy tumult broke?
Dealest thou in memories
Dost thou know of ancient thingss
Anyhow, love thy note
More than any bird that sings.

Pipe high. pipe low;

Live as white men do, by cultivating
the land, or starve. This is your last
chance to secure permanent farms. You
cannot keep this large tract as park, a
waste and hunting ground. Civilization
needs it and will have it,"
Of course the usual division arose; the
conservatives" wanted to live in the old
way; the ''cranks" were willing to try IL
matters could not be bettered. But the
new feature in this conference was the
appearance OF third party-wily Indians
who knew well enough that the land
must De given up, but wanted to "scare"
the white man and get all the advantage
possible. And it looks very much as if
they had succeeded. The commissioners
say they have never met or heard Of
three Indians the equals in talent of
Gall, Mad Bear and John Grass. Mad
Bear has a noticeable resemblance to
Henry Clay; his forehead and general
profile would not misbecome the United
States senate.
Of the three commissioners Rev. Mr..
Cleveland, of Dakota, is presumably best
acquainted with Sioux character. Judge
Wright, of Tennessee, is man of wide
experience in discussions requiring deli
cate management. The third commits
sioner, Capt. Pratt, Of Carlisle, Pa, may
be presumed to represent what is some
times called the Humanitarian view" of
Indian affairs.

how accentuates each ones peculiar good
points, and the very oddity of the style
of dress hides the bad ones, or rather
diverts the eye, so that you notice only
the general effect.
Among the most convenient out door
garments in that style is the redingote,
which is made of velvet, cashmere cloth
or silk. The sides are left open and it is
worn over a killed or plain skirt. The
one in the illustration has vest front of
shrimp pink china Grape, and dark
brown velvet rolling collar and belt strap.
The skirt is of brown and cream plaid
surah, and the redingote is of wood brown
Henrietta cloth. The hat is turned up so
as to make three cornered hat, and the
whole costume is at once stylish and in
dividual use that word advisedly, for
the pretty, doll like girl would look
piquant and cunning in it, and the tall,
heavy girl statuesque and pictorial to-
gether in such a costume. There is no
end to it's variety in effects under skillful
hands.
Among the prettiest things shown this
season is the Directoire basque, which has
braided vest front and an old style ruff
of lace at the wrist and jabot of point
lace at the neck. The coat, as it is called,
is of dark green cashmere, and the vest
and cuffs are of thick cream satin, with
green and gold braiding and chased gold
buttons.
All these buttons and all buttons for
trimming this style of coats are large and
very costly and many of them are really
as fine as jewelry, as they are of the
finer metals, chased or enameled or
wrought in some laborious way. The
price runs from $40 dozen up to what
ever you feel willing to pay. Some Of
them are crocheted with beads of garnet,
steel black or emerald threaded along in
them giving very rich effect The ma
jority of the basques have three large
buttons on each side of the front, three
for each side of the back or the deep lap

SIGNING THE TREATY.

Portraits of the Commissioners Who Have
Been LabOring with the Sioux.
The whites of this continent have had
Indian councils and Indian treaties these
300 years and more, but few so interest
ing as that lately concluded in Dakota.
There were 100000 acres of Land at
stake, signing the treaty involved the
adoption of an entirely new policy for the
Indians of the northwest, and their
chosen representatives were the most tai
ented men of the greatest and most war
like tribe that survives
The Dakotas were when first encoun-
tered the largest tribe of one language
ever found on this continent.
The Chippeways pushed them down
from Manitoba and northern Minnesota,
and they have slowly retreated before the
white man from western Wisconsin to
the high plains west of the Missouri.
For sixty years the United States govern
ment has made a pretense of securing
them in final and permanent reserva-
tions." The blunt alternative is now pre-

of panels or other garniture for the dress.
The most favored winter silk will be
the beautiful faille Franchise, and this is
shown in all the new colors, and Just here
cannot resist the temptation of wonder
ing how it is that every season brings out
its new colors, shades and tints, and yet
there are but three primary colors. It
must tax the ingenuity of those who are
always inventing them to find something
new, yet each season they grow softer.
more exquisite and agreeable to the eye.
Among the newest" of this season are
several shades in wine color, coppery tints,
gobelin blue and green's of peculiarly
soft and mellow shades. The faille Fran
caise is found in all of those as well as
black, and so is armure silk in fine birds
eve pattern There are brocades in de-
signs resembling old tapestry and with
velvet and satin figures on an armure
ground. The beautiful Sicilienne silk is
seen in all colors also and in shot or
changeable designs.
Green seems to be the preference this
fall, and the number of green materials
and shades is great. There is no limit to
them, and the regulation Emerald Isle
green is just as fashionable as the es-
thetic olive, moss or Nile green. There
is also, this season, beetle green, which
has the rich, polished, changeable
sheen of June bug, and soft, silvery
poplar green. "Any color, so it's green,"
would seem very appropriate. There is
great variety of red, from Boulanger
blood red to volcano, with terra Gotta
and coppery tinge. This goes beautifully
with moss green cashmere or plush, as
does the new dark fawn color with green
of every shade.
For evenings there is lovely yellow
called buttercup yellow, and this in cash
mere or Henrietta cloth is very beautiful
and becoming alike to blondes or bru-
nettes. For brunettes black velvet trim
ming black lace or pipings, and very
scanty bits here and there of cardinal red
are appropriate, while blondes can wear
it with white trimmings or with lace and
self colored accessories. These lovely
evening wool goods are of the most vel
vety softness and luster, and they drape
very gracefully, besides all of which they
are not expensive
There are two quite new shades of brown,
called alezan, dark reddish brown, and
a light brown with CLEAN of gold across
the surface, called pactole, and between
them is every other shade imaginable, and
blue runs the gamut between ocean blue
and gendarme, while gray does the same
from pearl gray to dark slate color, almost
black. x*x
