1t is amusing to hear Ed. Richards tell
the incidents which occurred along the
route. The residents OF all the towns
had been notified that the party would
pass their way, and they were out en-
masse, anxious to get q glimpse OF the
two who have gained 30 much nosoriety.
People would pass through the cars and
apparently without any idea oil the em-
barassment they were causing would in
varisbly halt before the couple and
stare blankly al them. Patience finally

and there they found s~eolusion. In the
dining car Ohaska was the center Of at
traction. People would stop eating and
stare at the Indian while he made frantic
endeayors to swallow his knife. At n

the porter to part the curtains of the

but fair looking. One pretty feature
about her face is her beautiful regular

her, lonnged on q divan, apparently

wore q buckskin shirt and moccasins
trimmed with beads. He wore common
plebeian pants, which goes to show that
he is becoming civilized by the influence
OF his pale-faced bride. He is SIX feet

to keep pace with his rapid strides tow

Mrs.. Campbell chatted pleasantly with

we were married.
Mrs. Campbell has with her their mar
riage certificate to prove the date and
also to assure doubling ones that they
are the much advertised couple, When
asked about her parents she said that of
course they had been opposed to her
marriage. When she left Washington
about three yeare ago, ahe was cautioned
not to fall in love with an Indian. When
abe married Chaska her mother wrote
telling her that she would not disown
her, but their correspondence must
cease. Then when it became known that
efforts were being made to induce her

that If she took this iaas step, her father
and herself would be obliged to leave
the country. They could nos remain in
